blackinches is disappointed in your failure to remember his legacy.
Skywalker66, IIRC, was the legendary "stick out your left hand" YAGT poster.

Ahh I remember skywalker now...Every day he had at least 5 YAGT threads in ATOT about how he couldnt pick up chicks. I remember the picture he posted now...LOL


What was blackinches legacy...refresh my memory! All I remember is he would always refer to himself in the 3rd person

By fridge, you mean microwave, right?

iirc, someone was neffing that one shouldn't store butter in the fridge. Other joined in, long thread and hilarity ensued and it became known as "the butter thread".

also, there was the one where skoorb faux complained about his parents and faked being a spoiled primadonna ala parody thread...and fooled many people into believing he was being genuine. aka the skoorb effect.

Do you mean the 'change of culture'? There were no rules published then, as this year's guidelines are the first of their kind.

that whole Roger thing pissed me off. he was a good guy and really know his stuff on working on cars. TexMaster was a asshole.

P&N started a couple of weeks after the Iraqi invasion (3/20/2003), I believe, although I'm getting old.

I thought I had read here that it started after 9/11?
