The PJG!

[Runwildboys]

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.

Now, my memory might not be what it once was, but I don't remember any of this in the PJG by-laws.... Maybe that's why we didn't have by-laws. Just remember, mister, you were appointed to your seat as Grand Poobah, not voted in. And it was the founding members who appointed you...and we're all very proud of ourselves for that.

To have by-laws would have broken the only executive order I ever didn't sign, the No By-Laws Law".

Exactly right, though I think @ESisback can explain our mission statement best.

In all fairness, who else was as qualified? What other poster could boast that the first response he received on his very first post on the old site was "please stay on the topic"?

At first, I think they thought I was a troll but after a while they thought 'naaaah, he's just so scatterbrained he can't even stay on his own topics. He's harmless'.

I thought of myself as the old chief that had fallen off his pony one too many times and they let him live on the edge of the village, not in the village but on the edge where they could keep an eye on him.

So you're the "edge of the village" idiot?

LMAO, no, I think most people would say I am fully within the village idiot. However, I am the "Suburb Drunk".

Found this at Walmart yesterday is Aunties a good or bad brand?

Not sure whose Auntie it is, mine was a chain smoker and anything She cooked tasted of Rothmans Superkings.
That picture looks like it's got pieces of glacier cherry or something other than raisins in the Spotted Dick, that's just wrong and that chef deserves to be beaten around and about the head with his only pot.

On the flip side, it looks more like its namesake than the picture you used to post.

[Xelda]

Bull sheet of this level takes years of practice.

Mine was "You have received a 24 hour timeout for verbal abuse."
