The Goat Pen

Good reading here today. Nice tributes.

Just sent you a pay pal thing aTm.

Me too...

Can we get this in the header somewhere?

Maybe it could replace the UCONN logo in the back since Floater split.

Piggybacking off of some of the posts I read earlier today it got me to thinking that I still don't understand why people freaked out about their picture being posted in the past few years. Real names, ok, I get that, my bad but I only did that because I knew it drove them crazy. And it did. I guess I'm more open with this group. I have no problems posting pics of myself & my kids because really, when you look at where we post there are maybe what, 30 people who actually post here anymore? If that. So yeah, I've always felt the friend/family thing and I guess I figured those who I pissed off did too. You all know my story, I've always considered you my friends and it's fun coming here to blow off some steam, talk sports, make fun of people, fight about two redneck basketball institutions since Mr. Gore gave us the Internet and know that at one time we brought down CNN/SIs message boards. Oh yea bitch!

And we all became friends along the way. Remember Jimmy? I got a hold of him via FB and he's stunned. Messaged AA too but I think instead of quitting here like Mook he's out of the country, at least I hope so.

Some of the best memories I've had were the times I've hung out with some of you. What kind of nut meets a bunch of guys on an internet message board and then agrees to spend a weekend in Chicago at Reds/Cubs games? Us, and it was a blast. Hedge and Ben saw me get arrested at Bluecats bar only to return an hour later ready to take Hedges girlfriend into the bathroom. She asked but I deferred. I took a dump so rank it made Mook (I think) puke in the shower. Might have been Jimmy. Gregs parents let me park at their place free for Bengals games. I met eCat at our kids game somewhere in Milford.

Anyway guys. When we all came across each other I didn't even have kids I don't think. Can't remember back that far without video proof, brain cells and all. My daughters are 15-11 today, wow, it's been fun. Thanks.

ATM, donation sent. I'll leave it your good hands.

We're sorry, but that credit card can't be linked to additional PayPal accounts. Please link a different credit card.

I tried...

So did Pearl. (or so we thought)

Harbor?

Necklace?

Want one?

ATM, just donated to the cause. BL are the initials of the donor.

via paypal

just wondering as young as he was--I think flowers is appropriate although his funeral etc might be already completed

10 years younger then me

if I ever disappear talent and AA have (had) my personal info--i don't do facebook should be easy enough for them to google my name to see if I croaked. course you'd have to track them down to track me down

If I am found to be croaked don't paypal a donation to me--just go get your favorite beverage and be thankful to god you were able to toast to the brilliant postings of crashcourse over the last 10 plus years.

Funeral is Saturday

There is also a guestbook here to sign. If I could get some help to adequately express our sympathy in like 250 character for a card on flowers it would be appreciated.

Also it seems he was wise to withold his middle name from me/us.

I thought he was much older for some reason.

I posted a comment--identified him as a big sportsfan whom I corresponded with for the last 10 years on the internet. 2 hr visitation followed by funeral and reception afterwards on saturday. Bet there will be a lot of people there

sudden death in a 41 year old makes you wonder

I had in my mind that Hizzy would be in his 50's for some reason. Way too young.

Thanks for that link.

that is one helluva name

If I die, I suppose no one here will even know.
