SJ.com Style Guide!!! (running thread)

I wanted to do the Snakes On A Plane but got here to late (stupid interview for coaching candidate).

Instead, I will add. . . .

Heathers: Favorite movie of some SportsJournalists.com regulars.  Will be replaced shortly by Snakes on a Plane (once it gets released). (of course, Heathers2. . . Attack of the Airhead will be out shortly as well).

 

It should be noted that this is not necessarily applied to a newbie who posts something stupid or d_b's a topic. Most of the time, it's applied just because we want to.

 

I was "around" in the anon days, but not really. I stopped in once I was told about it, scanned around, thought it was a little much, and skipped back out. I might have posted once or twice.

Then, this place came along...and you bastards can't get rid of me now if you try!

 

Who would want to?

 

Not definitions, but critical pieces of history:

Lugnuts is a Girl! -- All she wanted was to post without being judged on her gender...so she picked a name no one would suspect. Worked great...until the Great Valentines Day Outing.  My great friend Lugnuts posted the definition of the perfect massage: one that had no strings attached, no expectation of reciprocation off sexual payback.

Hah. 'You are a chick!' insisted 21.  
'How do you know?" demanded Lugnuts.
'Because only a chick would want a massage with no strings attached, guys only want the payback, and by the way, any massage that doesn't lead to sex is a lousy massage anyway!'  
'Damn,' she wrote, 'i thought I could get away with it.'

Outed. Best anonymous buds for life, btw.  :-*

 

:-\  We need Webby on this. I could be wrong. For sure Wally was before this version of SJ....but could have been on Webby's first board.  ???

 

Damn, for a chick you have some hairy-ass arms, Ragu.

 

Sandy probably knew.

 

No, the Wally Matthews thing happened in May 2002 during the old board.

That board went down, oh.... I'd say maybe Sept. 2002.

The new board started up in..... best guess November 2002 maybe??

A lot of us from the old board lurked for awhile until it seemed okay, what with the scary registration and all.

 

Copied from the Members List:

Webby created the board on 8/6/02, and saw that it was good.

Captain Kirk was the first to go where no man has gone before on 10/9/02.
