KKK’s Top 103 Posters

Number 43: Anglesaut

I don’t frequent the wrestling folders of this place; the same goes with many of those “The One And Only” threads talking about a baseball playoff series, or something of that nature. So when people complained about Anglesaut’s obsession with the New York Yankees, I turned a blind eye. (Or is it a deaf ear?) I will remember this banned poster for something he said, but it wasn’t posted in a wrestling or sports thread. It was in one of the many cookie-cutter current events threads that talked about some youth cretin tried to kill his family/teacher/friend/etc. You know the thread. This is when all the hate-mongers (like me) wanted this person dead while all the pussies wanted to give him counseling and hugs. In response to some “a 14-year old doesn’t know what he’s doing,” response, Mr. Sault replied, “I'm fairly certain that these kids knew that the fire boom-boom stick would cause boo-boos.” One of my favorite lines.

And now a word or two from the expert panel I’ve assembled to comment on the people I’ve listed.

From EricMM:

Does he still post here anymore? Used to be interesting during the Raw threads, but I never got involved in any of the One and Only threads...

I miss him. Sure, he could completely derail a perfectly good baseball thread with all of his Yankee bullshit from time to time, but often it was hard to top the comedy brought on by his meltdows. There's something really funny about how personally he takes a Yankees' loss.

• Some free advice. When your better half asks you what you have planned for the day (Sunday, January 14) before her birthday, don't say, "watching football."

• Let’s see how well I did with my Wild Card pickkks.

Kansas City at Indianapolis (7.5)

Well, I got Indy right. I predicted them to win and they did. I do feel bad for the Chiefs defensive unit though. My God was Kansas City’s offense anemic. I thought they might start the game throwing or doing some playaction since the talk I heard all week was that Larry Johnson was going to get 50 carries. I remember last year the Steelers started the game out unexpectedly by throwing a few passes to their tight end Heath Miller, and I thought the Chiefs might do the same. I was wrong. And the Colts really need to sign that Ty Law so he won’t intercept Peyton Manning in the playoffs.

Dallas at Seattle (3.5)

I was wrong. Seattle won, but not by more than a field goal. After watching that botched field-goal snap, I have to thank my stars that Romo didn't run in for a touchdown and instead got tackled before reaching the first-down marker. Good God, that play would be playing on ESPN in a continous loop.

New York Jets at New England (8.5)

Wrong, but it was an entertaining game. Even though I thought the Pats would win with a close final score, the Jets played them tough until that fatal backwards pass which changed the entire complexion of the game.

New York Giants at Philadelphia (7.5)

Poor Emily. I got this game right –– a narrow Philly win -- but what scared me during this contest is that I realized what the media coverage would be like should Emily and Peyton ever meet in the Super Bowl. Good thing that’s not going to happen this year. I still get the shivers whenever I think back to MANNING BOWL I all the way back in Week 1 of this season.

• So there's a stink in New York City.

Authorities were investigating the source of a mysterious gas-like odor Monday that stretched across a large part of Manhattan.

And how exactly is this news -- was there more cab drivers than usual on the road?
