Waiting to hear about the meet and greet! :)

Damn brother.... I love these Internet's...

Brother @cazzy‌ so I guess his @SGH‌ kind words were all part of a grand facade.

@SGH‌ looking like you're

badinfluence

Didn't SGTsay about a week or 2 ago he was spending aa lot of time at the hospital for a family member? Idk

I loves me the electric internet!!  I'm hopeful that SGH is alive and well, but then again there is always the possibility that he is someone's alter ego.  Now isn't mystery what makes the world go round?  It is a little incongruous that someone who has been on this forum since March has over 2500 posts.  Some posts have certainly been excellent, and he has assisted numerous folks.  Definitely not all bad, my brothers...

I agree @tksmoke‌ SGH has helped a lot of people and has had some good cooks. And I've enjoyed going back and forth with him (as so have many others) on numerous occasions. Hopefully he is not a hoax. It would be pretty messed up if that were the case. But, nothing on here would surprise me at this point.

@cazzy. Either way - your reminders of @SGH or @nolaegghead's whimsicle musings, he's an enigma within an enigma. Listen to me - I'm even starting to sound like @nolaegghead. :-$

Most of yall know that I think he's an old forum member playing games with us.

This says it all: 

89 years old
Currently works 16 hour shifts on an Oil Rig
Only sleeps 4 hours a day
Been dipping longer than most of us have been alive
BBQs almost everyday
Eats said BBQ almost every day, all hours of the day

Come on fellas, are you really buying the story he's selling yall?  What Oil Company would put an 89 year old man to work on an oil rig...for a 16 hour shift?  The liability would too high for any company.  Tony Gwynn didn't last 55 years because of dipping, but he's been able to defy the odds.  I don't think there are many from the Great Depression era so fluent on computers...and appears to type better and faster than most.  My grandparents can barely walk, much less use a phone or computer efficiently.   They also go to bed at 7 or 8 and wake up at 6am.  Lets talk about their diet.  They have eaten some of my BBQ before, but my grandma will only eat like one rib or a slice of flat.  Picturing her awake at 2am "polishing" off burgers or sausage by herself is pretty freaking hilarious.  This goes the same for my wife's grandparents and any other elderly people I've met.   

So do I think SGH is real?  Hell freaking no.  He's a little too nice, uses "my friend" and "brother" a little too much.  I don't know what's motivating this facade and he certainly is one of the most helpful trolls we've ever seen.  I actually put him to be in the 40-50's range based on some of the stuff he's posted.

Do I think SGH knows BBQ?  Yep.  He seems very knowledgeable about Q and has offered some great advice to folks.  Whatever he is, he has been pretty helpful.   

Do I want the story he's told to be true?  HELL FREAKING YES.  If it is, I want to know everything about him cause he would be my idol.  Who doesn't want to be 89 and still BBQing there ass off.

Am I surprised he stood up Nola?  Nope.  His bluff was called and he still hasn't responded.  Maybe this post will call him out...I know he's reading.  He's been lurking since he stopped posting after Nola sent him a PM.  He will likely have some grand excuse and some of you will believe it.  As friendly as he is, I'm certain he would have called Nola and rescheduled.  Some type of contact. Right????? His last activity time stamp was at 7:50pm last night so he's still alive.  

This is risky, cause SGH is revered by many.  I may just end up a black sheep after doing this.  Either way, this troll hunting escapade has been fun.  What to do now?  I'm cazzy so I'll just make a brisket like I always do.  Scored a Prime CAB for $3.99#  What what!

@SGH - come out, come out wherever you are...brother.

I believe a helpful troll is actually an elf .

very nice recap cazzy . . . 

confession:  I have a soft spot for 90 year old elves who can BBQ their tits off . . .

I would be looking for a "new" forum member to burst onto the scene. Actually, it doesn't matter to me whether brother SGH is a shill account, or a real person. He has provided entertainment if nothing else here. And he has been helpful to boot. The internet provides a great opportunity for folks to express themselves in a semi-autonomous way. SGH clearly has quite a bit of lore to share. And possibly some blarney to go with it. Andy Kaufman suggested that his performance was for his own entertainment - blasphemy! I agree. Buyer beware - objects in the rear view mirror may not be real...

I know it! He's a love-lorn, early divorcee, who lost his job at the Post Office about two years ago and has been unable to secure gainful employment. He's in his late forties and sits at his computer in his PJs (or not) all day.

He moved back home with his single Mom who shouts up the stairs when his grilled cheese sammy is ready.

He watches porn all day - food porn and has enough cookbooks to form a personal reference library.

He used to drive past The Hearth and Grill Shop on his way to the Post Office and it represented the most exquisite lifestyle he saw as being unachievable.

He becomes an on-line import/export agent for knockoff ladies handbags and stumbles across the forum. He sees a way to live his fantasy, vicariously, through access to the forum and to 'make friends' with all its members.

A member of the forum arranges………………………….

I received an invitation to a 4th pig roast from SGH who lives < 30 miles from me. I couldn't make it, but I believe that it was legit. Can't comment on his specifics, but he seems like a stand up fellow.

Wonder if anyone on the forum was able to attend?

@HDumptyEsq  Don't forget about the crow.

@HDumptyEsq, I more imagine something like this with his mother.  Except he doesn't get Benadette.

Or, Or, wait for it...he could be @SenecaTheYounger

Something else I noticed about his profile is that he is "following" himself.  I can not follow myself.  Is he a mod?

OK. So he has a caged parrot named Edgar (which our friend interpreted as egger). His consent chant was, "Brisky for dinner! Brisky for dinner!"

I think he is cen-tex!  It's digital underground all over again...  Tupac and Humpty Hump were never seen together either.. just sayin.

I'm following myself too.  I think it does that by default.  Which would mean you couldn't follow yourself because you already are.

Makes sense.  I just thought I would be able to see that in my profile.

@ cazzy. I read your post about SGH and agree 100% the way you used logic to lay out the case. But I have been scratching my head all afternoon. What is the purpose of him being a R.U.S.E ?. What is to be gained by him...Or am I missing something..

He's probably sitting there watching all this and flogging his bishop! )

I must say I have laughed by just reading some of his posts not meant to be funny.
I think of hulk hogan saying brother for some reason.
