Washburn! If it's really you, post the Popeye picture...

Some of that Floater story is news to me, I think I was away during part of that saga and there was also some glitch with WC at the time where it kept putting me on read only or something so I wasn't really able to follow it. It's a sad state of affairs when anyone allows freaking Rat to run them off though...

Yeah. Floater would fuck with Rat and somehow it would kick you and I off whenever Floater used the admin settings.

I remember him getting upset, I didn't realize that it was the reason he left.

I think Floater got Mecca and Rat confused.

I only called Crow by.his first name because it pissed him off. I thought it was funny how he brought up the employer stuff. Guess he was the only ****** in St. Louis. My bad. Fuck him though anyway. Floater was just bat shit crazy at the end.

"I've worked for a boss since first grade so I can't wait to have nobody to answer to!!"

i just got worried for the mrs. washburn...

Chuck, Popeye was many PGs and two NCs ago--if I were to post a cartoon of our PG today it would be more like the Pink Panther.

LAHAINA, Hawaii — Three-time champion North Carolina and first-time participant Butler headline the field for the 2012 EA Sports Maui Invitational.
The rest of the teams that will play in the championship round at the Lahaina Civic Center announced Wednesday are Illinois, Marquette, Mississippi State, Southern California, Texas and Division II Chaminade, the host school.
North Carolina won tournament in 1999, 2004 and 2008. After their last two appearances, the Tar Heels went on to win the NCAA championship.
Butler, the NCAA tournament runner-up the last two years, and Mississippi State will be appearing for the first time.
The four Division I teams that will participate in the opening and regional games of the 2012 Maui Invitational will be announced later.
The 2011 tournament will be Nov. 21-23 and features Duke, Georgetown, Kansas, Memphis, Michigan, Tennessee, UCLA and Chaminade.

Thats all well and good, but, where are the Maui brackets?

Yancy didn't make the cut for the Goodwill Games. Not sure how that will effect him. I guess it could motivate him, but then again, hardly anything seems to motivate him short of Mick getting on his ass for half a season.

Does this place still exist?

No

ok, thanks
