It was 5 years ago today……

Today is my 5th anniversary of joining this website. I followed a link from Gino, who we then helped win the Super Bowl commercial thing, and we haven’t heard from him since.
I have learned and seen many things in my time here. It is not as difficult to explain having a friend on the internet as it was five years ago. At some point someone got drunk and even allowed me to write on the front page.
Some of us have married, some have divorced, some have battled illnesses, one guy even died. We’ve had get togethers, Fantasy Baseball auctions, a great dinner at Sammy’s, and even finally banned HWNWWNM.
I have learned how expensive it is to call Scottie in Canada on my cell phone. I have helped many Swampers disinfect their computers, I have collected money for too many pools and I even talked with a few guys about sobriety.
I watched a certain female UF student manipulated us with her stories of sexual prowess with most of the Gator basketball team, just so we could vote for her to win a contest.
I have watched countless soccer threads go by and yet I still don’t get it. And that is what this place is all about.
Take what you like and leave the rest for someone else. I am proud to call this my home in cyberspace.
