Better questions: What are the predictions on how many comments this post gets? Will it break the record? How many times will oof post to make sure it breaks the record?

Over-Under on how many times one of the Uncle Rico's from 2000 posts about a 5 digit number that is about every tenth word in Jon Mayes' vocabulary? I'll set it at a thousand.

the uncle rico comparison is uninspired at best because he didn't win the championship. He's reminiscing over something he didn't accomplish, pondering a "what could have been". Last time I checked, we took, and presently hold, the record. However, bob, you do have the most negative margin of victory, so you got that going for you, which is nice. my "uncle rico" moments would be those involving IM football....

can anyone help me remember my cell phone pass code?

Ryan will also be naming his child MITB. "Ohh yeah, well, it's a soft 'I', and the 'B' is silent, just call him Matt."

12345?

I can't believe it...that's the combination on my luggage.

Did Rob forget President Skroob's name? And having not overlapped with Rob, I never found out until this past weekend that he had no formal nickname. Can we remedy that this weekend? And this post has a chance of breaking the record for comments purely because it is a preemptive post, posted probably an entire day prior to the actual onlineTartan's posting of the predictions. And the word of the day is 'and.'

glad to see I'm not the only one refreshing the tartans web page every few seconds.

i thought rob did have a nickname?

Oh, to those refreshing tartan.org or whatever it is on a very frequent basis: I believe that, although the hardcopy printing of the Tartan comes out on Monday, the online version does not get posted until Tuesday. Or has this changed in the past couple years?

Somebody should call the house phone and have them scan the hardcopy and post it. And I don't get the Le Fay reference.

Ok, so Morgan Le Fay. Still don't see how that gets you to a nickname though

all i know is that i tried to nickname Morgan, Ready Whip, but she didn't seem to get it.

I'll set it at a thousand. *Looks up php for loop syntax* I'll take over. What do I get?

I second that motion Rob..

If we're just gonna throw out some nicknames for Rob, I'd like to suggest either "Shins" or "Rickets". Neither one of them have anything to do with Rob, but those are the best kind. Looking up 'rickets', i have learned that it is characterized by a large head, crooked spine and limbs, tumid abdomen, and general debility... so yeah, I think we should go with Rickets.

What happened to Dr. Rob Sagat? Dr. Rob Rickets?

Rickets is too close to Crickets which is already a name for Statile Island. This could get confusing.

doesnt look like they're gonna post it.

bad news, the newspaper doesn't have an article or anything about buggy at all. i dont know if the online version will be different or not. i blame the natrat for this

A sure sign that the Apocalypse is upon us. On second thought, the Tartan sucks and that Compubookie guy is an ignorant asshole anyway. I'll make my own damn predictions. 1. Pittsburgh weather will suck 2. Someone will be hospitalized 3. Confusion and rumor will abound.

If compubookie managed to come out the year there was no tartan it sould be able to make it out this year. I have been checking on www.tcpulse.com in the hope it shows up there.

why go through all the rigamorale? just have whichever foad is doing it this year post it on bhendrix when they finish.

Shall I start typing now?

can we call Rob 'Compurickets'?

http://www.tcpulse.com/2006/03/31/ac/greeksing06/ read down halfway. 3 things are terribly wrong 1. They weren't in the singles 2. They went in the second act 3. They didn't even place

mayes i read the beta sigma news letter and if i read it correctly, i took it to mean that only the pledges were in it. i could be wrong. if im not wrong, that would explain why it didnt place. even still, torturing the pledges by making them do that in mixed division is hazing if i've ever heard of it

ITS UP ITS UP... wait, now the damn link says it's not working!!!! http://www.thetartan.org/2006/4/17/sports/compubo... Maybe they're still trying to put up the damn .html file?

This is all the preview says.... ## Men 1. PiKA A 2. Fringe A 3. SDC A 4. Beta A 5. Spirit A 6. SigNu A 7. PiKA B 8. KDR A 9. Fringe B 10. Pioneers A ## Women 1.... »

damn.. now they've taken it off the front page.. Should've taken a screen shot.

I wonder if the guy with the Tom Wood theory sits at home reading bhendrix all year round waiting to post at just the right time. "Haha! This will throw a wrench into their little discussion!"

Late this year. I wonder what that troll is doing? http://www.thetartan.org/2006/4/17/sports/compubo...

Was 2000 the last time that we were picked to finish first?

Is our push team fast this year? I mean like Mayes fast. What time did he put up on hill 1 again?If they are racing old faithful on A team this year, I think all the money Beta Sigma has raised to date should be used to hire BTH as permenant buggy chairman and he can use it at his discretion to apoint his inner circle. This whole build/burn thing is getting kinda ridiculous.

There's nothing like when someone can't come up with anything funny and goes with gay jokes and racial stereotypes. I love this guy.

Old Faithful (aka zeus) is running Men's B team (and women's A I guess?). A new one is running A team. This has been confirmed. If you don't want any of the money you donate to go towards buggy, you're more than welcome to designate it as such. Just let me know how much it was so I can up my contribution accordingly.

Not to mention religious slander... fun times. What happened to the old, tried-and-true "AEPi doesn't drink" jokes?

Oh please. As an ex treasurer, I can assure you that any designation you put on your check will be completely ignored. Unless you donate directly to the buggy chair in which case he'll probably spend it on beer.

I remember when rob told me to spend house money on lottery tickets at beer and pop. Wait, no, no, that was my inner monologue.

Charper -- Compubookie is always inflamatory, you're just getting sensitive in your old age.

oh and remember when dean rallied people not to vote rob in as vp, cus then no one would be treasurer?... good times....

Ha, that was the fundraising strategy that year. I mean the only way be paid the electricity bill was getting lucky betting on black in Niagara.

see, so it was a good move to have rob as treasurer....who else would let us use our "house accounts" to pay for part of a spring break trip to miami beach?

BTH, you fail to catch my meaning which had nothing to do with money. Perhaps the throwaway mention of Beta Sigma was the problem.

I'm now pretty convinced compubookie changes hands regularly or else it did this year. The racist jokes aren't funny, but I guess the Tartan has to live down to expectations. I miss the compubookie of old with funny buggy related inflamatory comments and a nice zinger directed at pika to get pissed off about. This compubookie sucks.

I agree with Chad.

so from all accounts, rob was the head of some form of money laudering ring. is this accurate? or do i know as much about money laundering as peter, michael, and samir? if it is true can we incorporate this into his nickname. something along the lines of the Shark, Knee Buster, EP Large could work. I'm up for suggestions. Anything to replace, Rob, you smell like your hockey equipment, Ready.

Not's so much money laundering as embezzlement. Dues are for suckers.

Doesn't embezzlement imply you are going to give the money back at some point? I think it's just called larceny. I agree with chad as well. that article is no good. and yes, last time we were predicted to win by that dude, i believe we dropped a 20671 on em (first actual mention in thread, 999 to go).

Hey mayes, do you know of any good HTML Links?

That's some straight up 1998 technology there boy, back when we only used notepad, none of that windows interface for me.

Its funny every time yfm productions rears its outdated head...

i still code pretty much everything in notepad. I did find a good stylesheet editor, so now i use that for CSS.

I agree... although Textpad Rulez. Notepad Droolz.

They still haven't retired my account. I just went and downloaded all the times I had and such.

I don't even know what CSS means...

cascading style sheet. and that page was almost as good as eli mannings

Shouldn't we call Zeus "Old Faithful" when it actually has more medals than Mad Dog?

Shouldn't we call Mad Dog "Old Faithful" when it actually has more Racedays than Phantom?

hey brian, on firefox, every time a try to type an apostrophe, it brings up the ctrl f find toolbar. is this just me?

I think it might be just you. If you go to Tools-Options-Advanced (Tab)-General(Tab) and look to see if 'Begin finding when you being typing' is checked. If it is, uncheck it and see if that helps. I think that's what that is. If it doesn't help, lemme know.

Look, I ain't the one slappin' nicknames on buggies. Anyone can build a tank that sees lots of racedays, just ask CIA.

I know. I really missed out, not spending time on learning how to do that stuff because my career would just be taking off right now. Man, I was soooo right back then.

Shouldn't we call Mad Dog "Old Faithful" when it actually has more Racedays than Phantom? Rollingest!

Jon, what exactly were you spending your time on back then? By my memory, it was lifting and playing beer pong with me.

mayes, what were you soooo right about? that when decker got back you were gonna lay down some phat ass tracks?

switching from a just econ degree to a double Math Econ extravaganza. Also I and had over a 3.0 that year while also singlehandedly changing CMU's student ID security policies.

I owe Mad Dog 3 medals...

i dont know if statile is on here often but phantom is out of comission for good and it is his if he wants it. can someone let him know for me??

Sure.

I think it's theoretically going to pw2r aka Paul. And there ain't too many people that could take him in a duel.

Rick, don't you already have a buggy?

It's still sitting in my living room.

Glad to hear that the home is getting a little use :)

did bean get all 'PB'ed through Dean?

Jim told me a while ago that he wanted it. We are going to have to move everything out for the renovations this summer so whoever can get it out of here sooner can have it

"And lastly, head mechanic, Jim Statile." "But Jim, the records show that Paul built the buggy, and Rick was Co chair" "Oh, that's very interesting. Head Mechanic, Jim Statile."

am i the only one that thinks oof put matt up to this to cause a shitstorm after the thread crapped out around 75?

Anyone coming in early thursday? My class got cancelled so I'm starting carnival at 3:30 p.m. if anyone is interested. They'll be a ribbon cutting ceremony. (honestly, who doesn't love cutting ribbons?)

I'm already in Pittsburgh.

matt, i want jackal

i'll take brimstone.

We are going to have to move everything out for the renovations this summer so whoever can get it out of here sooner can have it --matt April 19, 2006 03:51:09 PM --oof April 19, 2006 08:32:47 PM oof, in waiting almost 5 hours to answer him, i assumed you didnt want it. so if you want to see jackal, you can stop by my place this weekend

a group of us are going to head to the grove tonight to avoid last years issue of walking to phi to wait outside and then deciding to walk to shady side anyway. so if you care to join us, that is where we will be

Dibs on Zeus... i don't think anyone here would have a problem with that.

yeah, i was rapping with dp about that (and having him remind me that asking about a dress code in shadyside was a stupid thing). I'll be making my triumphant shadyside return around 8:45.

Jon, be sure to check out the 4 story apartment building that now stands where our old house stood.

Can I have the leaning tower of jim?

I would take firewater back, but with its real busy schedule of A teams to run and whatnot, I understand if you guys need it for a few more, it's cool.

A teams? did they sell it to CIA?

Can anyone confirm the rumor that firewater is the new cup for champagne ceremony?

This is comment 100. Just felt like throwing that out there.
