You're counting on
my memory???
@Londonboy is gonna have a good laugh at that one!
I don't even remember my own title!
All titles beyond the Grand Poobah of the Post Jackers Guild are unnecessary and superfluous. You already named a head idiot. Other titles might be considered insulting.
Let me share this with y'all. It was after someone had created one of our "Nothing Threads" and somehow a poster thought I was the one because he sent me a PM and I wanted to share it at the time but didn't want to embarrass him since he'd decided to remain private with it. I also didn't know if he had sent the same thing to others contributing to what I referred to as our nonsense, but in a complimentary fashion. It was, after all, my true appreciation of nonsense that landed me the Grand Poobah gig.
He was going through a really rough time in his personal life and he thanked me. I was taken back by that but he said he didn't come to the site except to discuss the Cowboys and thought it was odd that we got off on these tangents but he looked forward to that more than the football talk. He was pretty down and needed the laughs that was giving him and just wanted me to know how much he appreciated that.
Well, you know me, I don't need much encouragement to be stupid but that really struck me in the right place because that was exactly why I was there, not for the football. I went to a sports site and discovered something I really didn't know I was searching for and was proud to say "naaah, don't need that social media stuff" but I was wrong, I do need it.
There are some really funny people here and I never, EVER, fail to laugh when I am here and even use this forum to try and make myself laugh. It has been more important to me that I can express.
But, it's deeper than that. When I really connected was when posters were sharing their personal stories, their trials and tribulations and that opened me up to sharing, only wish I'd discovered that earlier because it can truly be cathartic and healing. Like the football stuff, love the humor but what I really love is what I call the "Heartbook". There are real feelings of warmth within those threads and posts. A football team brought us together but I feel we are more of a team than they are.
