The 2010 MGoWar Holiday MGoArmistice

Submitted by jhackney on

Hello Comrades,

     I am writing to you today to make a plea for the laying down of our armed keyboards and missle delivering mice. I made a post a day or two ago that may have been buried in a long thread.

     The RR/JH debate has spiraled into recruiting fights, anger at the cloak wearing Dave Brandon, the Michigan Robot scandal, and all around ultra-sensitivity to threads gone awry. I wish to share it again and hope that this holiday season and thread brings compliments, praises, Michigan football photos, strategies to beat the evil Bulldogs from Favrissiippi, remembering why we are all here in a place where maize and blue drip from every hyperlink, and being thankful to the wonderful forum in which we can allow ourselves to escape the harsh realities of work and society. Intellects do your things, MGoComedians do your thing.

The time? Four days before Christmas 2010. The place? MGoBoard. It has been months of the most devastating warfare in Michigan blog history. New posts were used with sarcasm, vitriol, nuclear warfare, and facepalms.The negging and bombing was horrendous and yet there was a call between RR, JH, and Hoke supporters to cease fire and they crawled out from behind their computers to peacefully celebrate the Gator Bowl. They sang Hail to The Victors, exchanged lol catz, posbanged each other's posts, posted funny pics, and buried their hatchets. This peace would last through New Year's Day. In the following weeks, hundreds would be negged in to Bolivian until a new leader was crowned. The next year, they would be united against the enemies of good once again.

A man can dream, a man can dream.

I assumed that your nuke arsenal was bottomless? May it be that you are running low on nukes and won't be resupplied until 3Jan? Just wondering....... Thanks for the peace around here; we needed it n

I have a full stockpile waiting for offenders. Lately people have been pretty good about putting CC before their thread title. I only nuke the ones who dare not to put CC in front of it. I am bound by the CC Detente Act of 2010.

I am trying to extend my diplomatic arm in these times of holidays.

Thank you kind sir. I see your ultra-quick biography in your signature. Happen to be a military brat like me?

Born in Illinois

Raised in Michigan

Forced into Pennsylvania.

Soon to come back to Michigan. Forever.

P.S. I would give you 9,000 MGoPoints, but all I am allowed is to give you is +1.

P.P.S. After 10,000, they don't give you a T-shirt.

I was just talking about this the other day because my friend and I used to drive around (thinking we were cool with the windows down while it was 20 degrees out) blaring this Christmas album and there was a song about this on there.  It started out, "One frozen night back in 1914...."  I forget what it was called though.  Thanks for bringing up the story Jhackney.
