You Can't Tell the Players Without a Program

Yno

I am a relative newbie (two years) to the forum and to the Egg. I have mastered the Egg pretty well, but the forum is still a bit of a mystery to me. Is there a program that can tell newbies about the relationship amongst the old-timers here? For instance, who are the trolls, who really hates whom, who is just being sarcastic for fun but no one can tell, and if SGH really eats anus? Which people are Republicans and which people hate the country (just kidding). 

Inquiring minds need to know. Even if it isn't Friday night yet.

Well....... I give up

I’ve only been on here for a year or two, but let me try to help. 
I’m the best-looking, smartest, funniest, best cook on the forum. If you just remember that, nothing else really matters.

@Yno - probably the best way to get to know the folks here is to dive into Ozzi's "OT-What are you doing right now?" thread. Start on page one and read the posts until you get to today's post. You'll need time but it is well worth the effort.

All you really need to know is that this used to be a much friendlier place.  Or so I’ve been told...

Most know about egging but very few know anything about bourbon, wine or beer.

Edit: better add the smiley face.

Nobody hates anybody, we are mostly Americans, and @jeffwit was being sarcastic. He is the best by far at it, if you read his post, you will agree. JK @jeffwit.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Just remember there are two things every man can do better than any other.  Grill a steak, and coach a college football team.

I disagree to some extent.  That thread stays pretty clean, because no one wants to be the guy that sinks that thread.  Just know that as much as nola hates America, he is one guy that opens up his house and neighborhood to EVERYONE mid October.  With a tear in my eye, I have to admit, he's one solid m'fer.

Probably the best way to get to know people on the forum is to meet them in person at an Eggfest, Brisket Camp, Butt Blast, etc.

I would love to, but being out here on the left coast, it seems that most of the activity is back east. My local store, Eggs by the Bay, holds a fabulous Eggfest every year. Maybe next year all the forum members should identify themselves so we can meet. Maybe a tinfoil hat? I know there are a few that go.

I was raised in the deep south, and until I got out of college, I lived there except for a few years, with third grade on in South Carolina and Virginia (Wahoo Wah!) Very fond memories, except the humidity and the mosquitoes.

 But I still don't know if SGH eats anus.

@Yno Wahoo wah right back at you.

I'm just an a$shole. Hope that clears it up a little.

The beauty is that these days, there are these things called planes.  

I’m one of the aholes too, by the way, in case that wasn’t clear.

You should most definitely take all your anus questions/issues straight to SGH. He's certainly the obi-wan of anus.

I don't think anybody hates anybody on this forum.  For the most part this place is full of really good peeps, and some really incredible, I wish they were my neighbors peeps. 
You'll have a differing of opinions when you have this many people involved. If those who disagree with one another were together around an egg and adult beverages were shared, I'm pretty sure all would get along just fine.

Foghorn

Great topic.  I think it's important to remember that occasionally someone will post something a$$inine but that doesn't always make them an a$$hole.  Just like all of us occasionally do something stupid, but that doesn't mean we are stupid people.  

Although I'm an a-hole.  And I can't help you with any of your anus questions.

Funny, thought Delta stood for Don't Ever Leave The Airport

This is mostly a forum to BS with interweb friends who you occassionally see in real life.  Sometimes talk about BGE even happens

When I troll I don't always mean to, except when I do.

Dobie

If you don’t know all the relationships here it just means you have a real life offline ....celebrate

I'm the other dead as$hole.  Cheers.

This must be the Dead A$$hole Society.  Oh, Captain, my Captain!

Great movie.

Gotta say, the asz hat to cool folk ratio, is totally one sided here, in absolute favor of the cool folk. 
I respect them all.
They have provided so much insight for me, and much of what I have learned has made me a better cook, (which was the original goal) and a better person.
The self proclaimed asz holes, which posted on this thread, are among the finest, cool folks you will find in this forum.

@YukonRon - Up and at 'em quite early today (Black Friday participant?) or was the timing of the above a carry-over from Thurs?

I do not sleep a lot, maybe 3-4 hours a day. I have been like that most of my life. Occasionally, with sleep meds, I will get a solid 4-5 hours in. I just find it impossible to shut down. Today is leaf day, all day. My house is the neighborhood leaf magnet.

52 posts in 2 years.  No judgment here, but if you want to get to know everyone, get active.  There are daily and on-going discussions. 

Welcome to the party.  I'm happy you've decided to join in the fun

The original post was really kind of tongue in cheek. Every forum I have ever been on has some drama occasionally, but I know that MOST of the people on here get along, and like to poke fun a bit. 'Twas just a bit of humor on my part.

I probably have not missed more than a couple of days in the last two years that I have not logged in and spent time reading posts here. There is so much knowledge to be gleaned about everything Egg, and I have taken advantage of that. I don't ask many questions, because I am fairly adept at searching, and most of the rookie questions I have had are answered here in past posts. And most new questions are answered well before I could contribute my somewhat meager experience. But this is truly my favorite forum on all the Internet. 

Anyway, thanks to all who make this a great place to learn, have fun, and waste time that could be spent doing something productive, like painting my house (which will be white with Big Green Egg trim when I get done.) 

May you all have a wonderful holiday season, whatever holiday you observe!
