  1. Really, something like this, scoob.
  2. Something like...this. (But just one per championship. That or just do what the Lakers...I think? and Celtics do and have banners with multiple years on each of them.)
  3. lol It doesn't work that way. Sorry.
  4. Nor do I. Then again, the Texans don't need him either. (Sorry. I shouldn't gloat.) Also, and I know it's a little early to talk about, but it's looking like the Falcons are looking at drafting a QB in the first round. I forget which analyst it was on the NFL Network, but immediately after the Combine was officially over, he had Atlanta drafting J.J. McCarthy from Michigan. I think he'd be a good fit, personally, but then again, I'm not a Falcons' fan. What do you think of this, and who would you want the Falcons to select? (This question is for both you and Odin, if you choose to answer it.)
  5. Fine, fine. I'll take the blame. I'm a Time Lord.
  6. I was as a kid. I was a kindergartener when I was diagnosed. That was all the way back in 1987. I was five years old. As soon as I was diagnosed, I was put on Ritalin and took it until my junior year. Just before I turned 17, Mom had made an appointment with a different doctor who ended up putting me on Adderal. I took that until I was 25. Heck, my first few years posting on the [as]MB was me on Adderal. Now I do think I was misdiagnosed as having ADHD because ultimately, it was more of a focus issue, not necessarily hyperactivity. And yeah, medication would make me sedentary, too. I'll also say that at least for me, I was able to focus more, but only on certain things I found interesting. I tended to goof off in school when I was bored. I somehow graduated high school with a 3.01 GPA (based on a 4.0 GPA scale). The focus thing while I was being treated may have just been a placebo effect. I haven't been treated for it since 2007. Since I got off medication, I've gained a lot of weight. (Turns out ADD/ADHD medication also acts like an appetite suppressant on certain people.) It didn't help that I was no longer active like I was when I was a kid. I, like you, have been able to find ways to manage it because I was able to go back to college and get my BFA in Digital Film and Video Production. And I don't know about you when it comes to your son or your mother when it comes to you relating to parenting a child with ADD or ADHD, but my mom did every single thing she could to ensure I was on a level playing field with kids who didn't have ADD or ADHD. (I only say that because I don't know how you were raised. On the other hand, I know you talk about how you raise your son sometimes, but I also know you're a private enough person to keep certain things about him and your relationship with him off the internet. I commend you for that.) I'll forever be eternally grateful to my mother for going above and beyond for me in my education during my childhood. Strangely enough, my aunt, who's a nurse, on my mom's side thinks I have Asperger's Syndrome instead of ADD or ADHD. My mom, several psychologists, and even my ex-wife, who has a Bachelor's in Psychology from the University of Houston, have all stated that I most certainly don't have Asperger's. (Now this is a different discussion for another day.) We've mentioned this to my aunt, but she insists that she's right in her "diagnosis" of me, even though she's just a surgical nurse/administrator in the Austin area. (There may be a little credence to my aunt's beliefs about my psychological makeup: I do sometimes think I may have been misdiagnosed because I can get hyperfocused on certain things. But of course, that might be a result of learning how to manage my diagnosis so who knows?) This has been rather therapeutic and enlightening. Thanks for asking. (Also, sorry for the long post.)
  7. Bread and Butter pickles, as disgusting as they taste, in my opinion, have entered the chat.
  8. Yeah, I get ya. I mean I have been trying to just be more, well, myself. Unfortunately, old habits die hard. Also, seeing as though I've had ADHD for as long as I can remember, I should point out that a lot of us with it tend to be people pleasers, in that we focus on trying to make others happy instead of ourselves, and I'm working hard to change that about myself.
  9. I was thinking it could be done like how Sponges' sig for that story he wrote in which he was a member of the X-Men. If I remember correctly, the sig itself was a reward made for Sponges for winning that particular writing contest from years back. (It also involved dinosaurs.) I mean I could do it in Paint for myself, but it would be generic. If, however, it was done using Photoshop by someone who knew exactly what they were doing, it would look awesome. (I realize this might be a tough ask so don't worry about it.) I guess what I'm trying to say is it would be cool if the UEMB members who take part in fantasy sports (pick 'em contests included) had banners for when they win. Kinda like sports teams when they win division titles, league titles, even world championships.
  10. Also, @scoobdog, can you put that I'm the fantasy football champ for 2023-24 to differentiate from Seight's winning it previously? Really, I think I have a fun idea: Make a banner to be revealed at the beginning of the next fantasy football season. We can have one for Seight, then one for myself. It can be a tradition that lasts as long as the UEMB does. What say you, sir?
  11. I know. I was so disappointed to find that the thread was unpinned. I so wanted to talk about the draft prospect who was quoted as saying that he didn't believe in space or the planets.
  12. What are San Bernadino and Los Angeles counties?
  13. It sold itself to the devil, and the devil was Dill. I miss Mitch Hedberg.
  14. People who like extra rough sex? *shrugs*
  15. Only six more weeks before I move back in with Mom and start my life over. Come on, April 19th.
  16. I always thought you were a decent guy and I was only trying to impress you so you could be my friend. There. Happy?
  17. I finally bought AEW Fight Forever on Steam only for it to not load when I try to launch the game. Turns out there's a software called Easy Anti-Cheat that would cause the game to crash while it's trying to load. So I got my money back. This really pisses me off.
  18. My birthday is May 28. You can retire then.
  19. I hate hearing that. Prayers go out to the entire wrestling world, but especially his friends and family. May he rest in peace.
  20. I'm tired of the selfishness from everybody involved when it comes to my grandmother's health. Everybody needs to get over themselves and do the right thing.
  21. Freshly baked sourdough as well as some good Jewish rye bread. Love it.
  22. In TNA news, Tommy dreamer has taken over as head of creative, replacing Scott D’Amore. I’m currently on my phone, so I can’t provide a link right now. I will as soon as I’m back on my computer.
  23. You're welcome, Harv-- I mean, Mentok the Mind Taker.
