Good people and fellow Vikings fans! Torp commented on one of my facebook posts a couple of years ago and I was super excited to see he ‘lurks’.
😊

    Lots of good memories. I remember Christian (can’t remember his username) and he started a golf company. Can’t remember if he broke off from Bryant (sp) or something? 🤔

      MidwayJ I remember him posting a story about people staying at his place. It involved severe drunkenness.

      At one of the Desert Storm .5, mack had a party at his place Sat night.
      I spent half the night in the kitchen with Rick Hicks who did not stray far from his margarita blender. I spent the other half of the night enjoying rums with "non-drinker" Genikoptki who was Ramers' girfriend at the time. There were quite a few people there that night.
      I believe Baab and/or Sandbagger also stayed that weekend.

        MidwayJ And seemed like Puttinfool got under everyone's skin at one time or another.

        He and Spuzz were close

        Non-drinker vs. rumaholic didn't mix well
        LOL
        He also bragged about his free shipping perk due to the military.
        He took a lot of flak for that for that too.
        @PA-PLAYA has a good story about him from the Melee outings,IIRC.

          LogicalOne I remember Christian (can’t remember his username) and he started a golf company.

          Didn't he handle a lot of Infiniti products? I do remember buying quite a bit from his place.
          User name and co. also escapes me.
          It's hell getting old, isn't it? 😅

          @LBlack14 might remember.

            LogicalOne Memories are getting triggered for me by these posts, lol. Like people getting confused by his name thinking the company was owned by brothers. Also, what did he call his own component driver head?

                Par4QC Wasn't that the White Lightning?

                I remember the white lightning but it's not what I was thinking of. Maybe he came out with another one after the white lightning?

                  LogicalOne Can’t remember if he broke off from Bryant (sp) or something?

                  I believed so but apparently he was with Jody and Accuflex.
                  I also recall he was religious (Catholic) and his company name was Mission golf or something like that. Not sure.

                    Remember when jramers tried to have a couple moderators run FGI for him?
                    And they tried to have a closed door online meeting, but left the portal access OPEN,
                    and some of us got to hear/read who and what they were talking about! LOL
                    That mods experiment didn't last too long.🤣

                      FGI Chatroom was also a riot, especially in the winter months (for me) and late Friday nights when the AZ Mafia joined in. Had 20+ guys posting comments that scrolled down the screen.
                      It was hard to keep up with all the conversations, especially after having a few rums. lol

                        Yeah Ode mentioned that before. CoachSB apparently got caught with his pants down when that happened.

                            MidwayJ CoachSB apparently got caught with his pants down

                            That's who it was, and he made the 'list' after that!🤔

                              Par4QC I always missed Persimmon after he left.....for unknown reasons/causes.

                              He, along with a number of prior members, including JDerion and Blader got a little fed-up with the P&R sub-forum. All intelligent "liberals", they grew frustrated with some less than flexible conservatives. Fortunate for them they've been gone pre-2016!

                                  Spuzz It was hard to keep up with all the conversations,

                                  It was hard to keep up if you didn't log in for a few days. I was so inconsistent it took me years to reach HOF status and then when I finally did the site shut down!

                                    KCee My wife said "fine" initially but then realizes I'll be golfing with "random guys from some golf forum" (her words) and shuts me down.

                                    That's the best! My Ex used to go bonkers about what she called "your imaginary friends". That all came to an end when she met some FGI'ers in-person and then was gifted a set of women's clubs, donated and built for her after she'd contracted breast cancer. She even received a brief lesson from gwog in our backyard!

                                        professor He, along with a number of prior members, including JDerion and Blader got a little fed-up with the P&R sub-forum.

                                        I intentionally avoided the P&R area.
