Mr. S£im Citrus 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2004 Alright, here's the deal: I have no life. So, I've really got nothing better to do right now, and I kind of just decided, "hey, let's look back through all the threads in Community/General as far back as they can go, and see if I can understand anything!" After having done this, I have a few questions and/or comments that I hope some of you old-heads can answer for me: 1 - Tom, you look a lot like my ex-brother-in-law, but with a different haircut; you wouldn't happen to be from Western PA, by any chance? 2 - Why is Crow an OP in chat? Whose palm did he grease? 3 - Drea, why do you capitalize the "GO" in "GOdrea?" and, what was the thought process in transitioning from "hebiebver" to "Angel_Grace_Blue?" 3a - Which came first: GOdrea, or G.O.A.T? 4 - Just how long did Kotz last in the JL, and who was he? 5 - Okay, so I found Part 1 of 5, 2 of 5, 3 of 5 and 4 of 5 of the "Old sk00l stuff" saga, but 5 of 5 appears to never have been posted. Is there any chance that you can happen to remember what it was supposed to be? 6 - Were "Mistress Sarah" and "Annie Eclectic" the same person? 7 - The "Origin of the Border Run" thread is one of the most eye-straining things I've ever tried to read. 8 - Sooo... whatever happened to the SCW, anyway? 9 - Crusen was Fugue? 10 - Why the hell did Stubby use to do that "PROMO/Mothernature says" shit? 11 - Did Craven really use to call himself "Ash Ketchum," after the Pokemon guy? 12 - Was there ever any point in time during Cutthroat's tenure when people didn't mock him? 13 - Why did Spike Jenkins and Thor hate each other? 14 - Why Giant Gonzales? 15 - Why Pepsi Max? 16 - Who would win in a cage match between G0R0 and Mr. Bukkake? 17 - Okay Thoth, you can stop bullshitting; that's not really your real voice, is it? I mean, you just talk like that for the radio show, right? 17a - You actually pronouce "Janus" as "YAW-nus?" I've been sounding it as "JAY-nus" in my head the whole time. 18 - Since GSMS appears to still be retired/removed from involvement in the fed, will anyone else ever join who is older IRL than I am? 19 - If Stubby came back, would he be welcome? 20 - Now that Munich has returned, should he have to defend this belt?

Thoth 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2004 1. No idea, I think so. 2. He's Aussie. 3. She capitalizes the GOD in GODrea. Angel Grace Blue is a speical person. 3a. GOAT. 4. He joined? 5. No idea. 6. LOL NO. 7. Not a question. 8. They got served. 9. Nope. 10. I think we was perma-IC. Or something. 11. HE HAD PIKACHU COME OUT OF A POKEBALL. 12. Yes. When he joined as Dragon. But we still mocked him. 13. Because they both suck ass. 14. He's big and he's naked. 15. Cyclone Comet made it cool, I think. 16. G0R0. Hands-down. 17. You mean when I lowered my voice electronically? That was to simulate Frost's voice. The rest is all naturally what I sound like, baby. 17a. AFAIK, He pronounces it Yanus, so I do it too. 18. No. 19. Yes. 20. Yes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. S£im Citrus 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2004 4. He joined? According to this thread, he did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the.weej 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2004 Kotz never actually joined, no. He thought about it, but never followed through because of the whole matchwriting idea. It remains too weird and different for most people. To answer some other questions futher... 1. Tom was born and raised in Buffalo, NY, as far as I know. 2. Thoth pretty much summed it up; Crowe and Muzz, for as much as they're around, are the two longest serving ops besides Crusen himself. It's just harkening back to when Crusen opped whoever the hell he wanted to instead of who was capable, as there wasn't a whole lot of real moderating needing to be done in 2001. 5. Dude, frankly, you've got too much time on your hands if you can be fucked to dig that stuff up. 6. No, but they DID have a lesbian orgy in chat once, with two other girls. I think I still have the log. 8. In addition, I think the guy who started it got banned, too. He originally made the SCW because he was actually refused from the SWF, back when we could afford to be stingy assholes about recruits. 9. Crusen did actually have a ringer character WHILE HE WAS A BOOKER way back when named "Zio," but no, he wasn't Fugue. 10. It was leftover from when he first started the character, at which point he posted everything in character. The in character stuff faded away over time, but the gimmick remained. It sort of like how I sign all my posts with "-Z." I originally did it because I didn't think anyone would know who I am, and I just keep it up out of habbit, now. 11. Just in case you don't believe Thoth, yes, that really happened, yes, he did, and yes, he beat Tom Flesher for the JL world title. 13. Irresistable asshole vs the immovable idiot. I'll leave it up to you to figure out who's who. 16. Put me down for G0R0, too. He'll eat anything. Anything. 17. Yeah, and I was as shocked as you, too. 19. There'd be some static, but yes. I'm sure I could alleviate the problem if I kicked Thoth to the curb and gave Stubby his booking job. -Z Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Golgo 13 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2004 3. Angel Grace Blue is the 'troll' name of JSP, webmaster of 665, a site which GOdrea is a fan of. 4. He didn't make one appearance, unless he was posting under an alias for the duration his character was involved, but I highly doubt it. 8. As already stated, Shadow, the head of SCW, got banned. I seem to recall the OAOAST invading and taking over the dead forum, until eventually they were given one of their own, but I'm not exactly sure and this bit of information isn't terribly relevant anyway. 13. It was never stated by either one, I don't think. But in some non sequitur comment in chat a few weeks ago, Spike said the crap between he and Thor was a work.

crusen86 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2004 Some answered, but like I care. 2 - He oozes more charisma (litteraly, damn wogs) than the rest of the fed has combined. Plus he has an outstanding workrate, and actually goes regularly. 3a - GOAT 6 - No 9 - Erm... How did you find this out? 10 - Coz he's an egotistical jackhass 11 - Yes, people such as Outcast were telling him it was a good idea 12 - No 13 - They both suck 15 - I 'borrowed' the idea from someone...

janusd 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2004 17a - You actually pronouce "Janus" as "YAW-nus?" I've been sounding it as "JAY-nus" in my head the whole time. Figured I should say this myself. It's pronounced "Yanus." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ace309 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2004 1 - Tom, you look a lot like my ex-brother-in-law, but with a different haircut; you wouldn't happen to be from Western PA, by any chance? No. I'm from Buffalo, New York, which is a few degrees north. I don't know of any immediate family out that way, but it wouldn't be unheard of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angel_Grace_Blue 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2004 Just to further answer some of these questions and such, and also, it helps boost my tiny post count and such. Stubbs used the "PROMO" stuff so he could insult people and claim it was IC. Personal insults, pretty much flaming, but he made it appear that it was just a promo and such. As for the old school stuff I posted. I am lazy. That's all the explanation. As for why Gonzales? First, I wouldn't think you'd have to question that. But, I'll give the answer, which is a reasonable one. He's supah-sexay!! As for my name change, it was partly wanting something different, partly something not so stupid. I mean, why not ask Thoth why he changed his IGN name? Or King? Or Grand Slam? Why you hatin' on me? It's because I'm tiny, isn't it? I'm going back to sleep in my shoebox. It makes no sense to have Munich defend that belt since it no longer exists. It'd be like having someone defend the light heavyweight title, or the stables title. They = gone. G0R0 would easily defeat Bukkake, since G0R0 BEINGZ SERIOUS TECHNICAL WRESTLER! You forgot the most important question of all, why BJORK? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Suicide King Report post Posted July 21, 2004 (edited) Janus is of course the two-faced Roman god of doorways, endings, and beginnings. The pronunciation as done by Thoth is the correct Latin pronunciation. 4 years of high school Latin, baby! Edited July 21, 2004 by Suicide King Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2004 I'm going to continue to call him Janus with a hard J, because otherwise I'll be picturing him as the little guy from Ghostbusters 2. "Soon, the city will be mine and Vigo's...well, mostly Vigo's." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Suicide King Report post Posted July 21, 2004 Actually, I was at least one of the people who told Ash to stick with his Pokemon gimmick when he came in. I stand by that decision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HollywoodSpikeJenkins 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2004 Me and Thor was never a work. What happened was when he first joined, he came into chat. Said something stupid to me and Drew, then instead of shutting up, he kept running his mouth. I told him off, he got offended, and we had a Flame War~!

Angel_Grace_Blue 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2004 You know, Dubby, Crowe might actually have been writing longer than you, since he did start up a similar-style e-fed on his Ez board. Then again, I don't know specifically how that was set up, since I didn't take part. But I do know that writing was involved. And so was practically everyone's favorite Brit (No offense to Toxx, Aecas, Dace, and the others), Ad Van Dam, if you weeeeeeeeeeel. And since nobody has a fucking clue as to what I'm talking about, I'll leave it at that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheBostonStrangler 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2004 I vaguely remember Crowe's old EZBoard and that fed he had. Wasn't it something like two people co-writing matches, and the winner was the one who contributed the better segments? I don't remember what it was called, though. MAN, that was a long time ago.
