RAMD?


Recommended Posts

Well, between the ridiculous flame wars re my views on the war and the administration that got us into it, the 9/11 discussions, personal attacks from people like Sambuca, Sharon, Rudnicki, Howdy, et al., I finally figured out that staying away was better for my peace of mind.

I must admit, I feel MUCH better.

But I still say, Wage Peace

Come on - You know you miss Howdy.

to be honest, we did it there because a lot of the people here thought it was beaneath them, and that the GOT regs were a bunch of cliquish morons.

tho, back then everyone had all access.

so it stayed there. Honestly, having run that one many times, if other forums want to do their own, fine. However, to run a full site one, some awards of ours have to go buhbye, and we've grown attached. Plus, some people only go into one forum and forsake all others.

so if this one wants to do an awards, go for it. we do ours starting in January to have voting end on DCP's anniversary

Schmidt would call me and play his horn with out the mouthpiece......I suffered through 2 years of that pschyo and finally told him I had Heart Surgery and to try using a mouthpiece. The pity was he lived two hours away. Mya he move again......farther away.

... but my aim is improving

Wage Peas,

How could you not mention Howdy's horse trailer bible puppet shows for the kids in the neighborhood ?

Then came the freefloaters for needy kids.

At least it kept things interesting

I was pilato_n@cmr.fsu.edu.

Back in the good old days of Usenet, before AOL and WebTV access.

I can't remember the gRAMDies I won, it was a few...usually for sarcastic flame responses, faux news stories, or smart-alecky one-liner comebacks. I think I also won "Sexiest Male Poster" or something like that....with Martha Leeson (now Garcia). Maybe it was Cutest Couple or something (even though we never even met! Heh).

Now I am curious....I am off to google stuff....

Aha! Found some. I had forgotten all about my crappy roommate that inspired the following gRAMDie-winning (real) story:

The Roommate Saga

That was not a fun time.

I know I won a "Best Flame" gRAMDie for this rather crude riposte (original poster I was responding to was deleted):

I was a right little pissant, wasn't I? Kinda glad I don't have that sort of temperament anymore. Or do I? :cool:

Apparently, i won "Most Improved" in 1996, 1998, and 1999. That's a LOT of improvement! :worthy: Over the course of those years on RAMD, I won "Funniest Poster," "Best Writer," "Best New Poster," and who knows what else. Probably "biggest ###### in the universe" as well, and I would have deserved it, heh.

Those were the days...ah, so full of innocence. :cool:

Hey, Nikk, not only were you and I the "sexiest" posters the same year (1998; Lord, that still makes me laugh . . . at me, not you), but we also both got into the Hall of Fame the same year (1999).

I realize that this thread has merit, in that RAMD was a precursor to DCP . . .and there's a lot of history to be had over the years.

However, let's be careful to not use DCP as a forum to attack folks who can't defend themselves here, even though passions may run high.

Going to do some trimming on the thread now, so it can stay open.

Thanks for your consideration.
