Some of these personalities even seem to apply to other boards. Great article, http://www.thephatphree.com/features.asp?StoryID=4104&SectionID=15

The Token Chick: Everyone on the board wants her. Not many know that she's a 42-year old divorcee who has a pussy-gut, three kids by three dads and smokes a carton of Basics a day, but even if they did, it wouldn't matter; after all, she's the only female on the board, and a lot of the guys who inhabit the boards are pretty hard-up.

The Conscience of the Board: The self-appointed moral center of the forum, the Conscience exists in a constant state of righteous outrage, always eager to find some ne'er-do-well who deviates from his idea of proper behavior and etiquette. His two favorite words in the English language are "classy" and "classless".

His Problems are Your Problems: It probably isn't the best idea to drag your most intimate skeletons out of the closet and rattle them in front of a group of complete strangers, but he does it with regularity. He's either getting therapy without paying for it, or purposely engaging in self-abasement for a sin the details of which few care to know but probably will know by the time the mods getting around to locking this one.

The Political Animal: Politics really have no place on a sports message board. But don't tell that to the one who finds a way to loudly embed his viewpoint into pretty much every single post.

The Talented Mr. Ripley: His credentials are so impressive, his career so time-consuming and lucrative, that it's a wonder he has time to post like a madman at three p.m. on a Tuesday.

The Tough Guy: A fabled character of message-board lore, this firecracker is ready and willing to meet on the playground after school to resolve a board dispute, no matter how inconsequential it is to everyone else.

Don't Post Drunk: He starts his Sunday with a beer at seven a.m., and he's still going strong twelve hours later. If the game doesn't go the way he expects or desires, he's sure to post something that he'll really, really regret the next day.

You have 7000 dolls of guys holding their fish??????? Awwwwwwwsome

Wow, they even got his name right....

Okay since I hijacked this thread from the cougfan board I may as well express some more thoughts:

The Talented Mr. Ripley is also the Concious of the Board. Somebody has to do it.

His problems are your problems. Sol's therapy seems to be doing just fine now. I know more than I ever wanted to know about you.

The Political Animal - Blue Jay written all over this one. But this could apply to more of us.

The Tough Guy - Abu is being groomed for this position. Other tough guys are Timber and Fly but they seem to be mellowing with age.

Which one are you? Don't Post Drunk is the closest one to me.

My back shoulder blade is killing me. It feels like somebody is poking me with a needle.

Abu paints his toenails pink and still has a babyface. He has a bit of a ways to go yet. Hmm I wonder where I fit in?


You forgot about the fountain of advice. He knows everything about dating,fishing,politics,and he is a metrosexual. Take a guess....

Yeah. I'm pretty well done with that.

Besides, I've been out of sorts lately with a lot of family & health issues and I think it's been reflected in a lot of my posts. Its been a long winter. Time for Irie to go outside and turn off the computer.

Dont post Drunk...my husband stopped at the Costco in Tacoma today...the three closest Costco's to us dont carry Guinness...mmmmmmm....Guinness...we got two cases...
