Sporting Events FAQ, Liveblog, and BANGERS - Page 1941 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

bbv4l was really good when it first split off. lots of quality brags, awesome trip reports from real ballas like clark except entertaining, high level mspaint and photoshops, etc. then it because a repository for hot girls which is still ok before the "advertisers" didnt like that, now its mostly spam

will second this, bbv4l was the best 2p2 subforum for many months. i barely looked at OOT after that place opened.

I actually remember the Mayo being annoying in BBV4L but he seemed solid in his little time as a SE poster.

Pretty sure it became a breeding ground for terrible posters and threads. Will investigate.

Last 3 days I've used it and have woken up feeling really great.

Yes it's doable with someone else. Especially so if they wake up earlier than you by some chance. For instance my wife gets up for work at 6 and I get up at 8:30, so she's out of the bed by the time my "wake up time" approaches.

Mileage may vary on the bed partner part. Not sure.

Thanks

That weird australian degenerate guy has a pretty epic thread in the original BBV. I find it entertaining at least but we don't get many updates

Still think "Create a reality TV show with SE posters" draft would be amazing.

Not a fan of Grantland.

They feel hollow.

I am responsible for

Both were mega elite.

SE Post draft maybe?

Ie, single post.

Nah too subjective.

I still think drafting 2+2 subforums would be hilarious and result in EXTREME butthurt. And probably podcast coverage.

Well.

Maybe like an all encompassing 2+2 draft with multiple draft orders and categories.

Best poster
worst poster
best forum
best individual SE post
best post outside of se
best SE post
best SE thread
best SE draft
best meltdown

Something like that. Rerand draft order for every round. But I've been thinking of a pop culture draft with that similar "multiple categories" idea.

We've done so many individually awesome drafts now. SE Poster, Rap Album, Youtube/Viral videos, animal drafts, videogames, etc. Might be the cure to better non sport drafts.

Yeah. It's **** like this that bothers me. Because POG doesn't HAVE TO suck, but this **** happens and I just throw up my hands. SE is a normal people forum (comparatively). Post like a normal person or don't post.

Or melt down spectacularly. That's also fun. Just don't bring in wheelbarrows of AIDS.

EDIT: What I'm saying is I tried to kind of UNITE the good posters from both places because the good posters from both places enjoy WW, and the blended games have generally been awesome, but that's just hard when POG looks like this.

EDIT2: And basically mets just mets'd the bad p0sters thread, which is a thread that should be above that.

Downloaded it a couple of weeks ago but have yet to calibrate it. Still blows my mind that a 99 cent app can be that effective but apparently it is. I'm fairly obsessive about volume and quality of sleep, what ^ this app touts is the opportunity to wake up slightly earlier and yet more rested which is pretty awesome.

Also (unrelated), http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002CYTL2/...80658572-SFGDS

Sadly, it appears that item has sold out.

The woman traveler stops by the security checkpoint. After placing her luggage on the screening machine, the airport employee checks her baggage. The traveler hands her spare change and watch to the security guard and proceeds through the metal detector. With no time to spare, she picks up her luggage and hurries to board her flight!

...not really where I expected that to head

I remember Mayo

He gave me a funny buck one time and it was the crowning achievement of my internet existence

Back then in BBV4L everyone called me taJ instead of yeota. GD36 started that, I think she had a crush on me at the time
