OT: How hard do you Yard?

Deepster said:
Inspired by those Facebook posts that count how many states you’ve visited or what weird foods you’ve tried, here is a list of historical Yard items to show just how big a Yarder you really are.

Unless indicated otherwise, give yourself 1 point for every item you know or have accomplished. Maximum of 28 pts available.
  • I used to go on the Hartford Courant UConn message board “The Husky Howl”.
  • I used to go on the bball.com UConn/umass rivalry message board.
  • I have attended a BYC. Add an additional bonus point if you were on a winning team.
  • I attended the Boneyard football tailgate at Memorial Stadium.

"A drink"?? :eek:
 
Somewhere between 10-12.
 
14 for the original list.
Addendum suggestion: You've read at least 3 Good, Bad and Ugly Fishy posts.
 
9 without ever having met any of the creeps on here in real life.

Speaking of, if anyone has ever met chief in real life they get a 2x bonus.
 
So like 25-ish,

I guess that's why they pay you the big bucks.
 
Shut up, Dove... makes 3. Casual as it gets, but willing to work on it.

ETA: @Dove ... I don't know the guy, but it's only right...

Score is a 4. And not supporting this Deepster-sponsored abuse of Dove when he can't even handle being abused in Hartford.
 
Deep, you need to adjust your scales a bit. How many people have been sentenced/hung, total? 10? 20?

...as opposed to how many people who have had a drink with mauconnfan - that's the population of Rhode Island, probably.

Eh, when you fill out how many states you've been to there's NY then there's Wyoming. Some are going to be more select than others.

I think.
I'm old, so my memory ain't that good, and I forget stuff. But lately, I've started remembering stuff that never actually happened, too. So I guess they cancel out. Or not.

I'm not sure if I've had a drink with mauconnfan at one of the BYCs but since I can't remember I didn't give myself a point.

I wasn't around here until right after the 2001-2002 season so I didn't get any points for things before that time.

Were you at a BYC? If yes, you had a drink with Mau.

22.

And for the record, I did the initial Leticia Basketbaldridge post (preliminary inspiration points for that post accrue to Suzy-Q)

And, as I think on it....subtract 1 point....

My sentence that year proscribed any mention of Senhor Testiculo, by me, for the duration of the season...

But I will claim an additional point for getting Senhor on ESPN, behind the UConn bench at the USF game, the following year.

Twice. Portland and I forgot where the other one was. Southington, I think. I know who Mau is (we still see each other at games once in a while) so I'd imagine I must have had a drink with him.

O.K. so put me at 15.

You were Leticia Basketbaldridge ? I never knew that.

The original Lericia post was back in the nomad era, pre Boneyard.

Fishy and a few others will recall Buff and a few other Fresno State fans. They had at least 2 specific mentions in the original post.

Some years later, someone (don't know who) condensed, modified and reposted as Leticia, on the Boneyard.

I was working at a law firm In Hartford at the time and had tickets, But ended up having to work as it was common in those days.

It may have been the only time I spent an entire game in the chat room.

I either have a 20 score or a 18. Wasn't sure if the poster identity questions were referencing handles, or the Yarders behind pseudonyms. So, if Dr. Dos and Leticia are pseudonyms of regular Yarders then I have no clue who the Yarders are.
