BiSB had said "after bowl season" so there might be some weird changes in points around the BCS title depending on what that means to each of us.
December 12th, 2013 at 3:16 PM ^
In order to appease BiSB I think JimBob should have to indefinitely change his signature line to:
"I am a pretty, pretty princess."

If JGB really does this (and I'm not saying he should), you better keep your nose clean. I haven't agreed to take this case but JGB is a good person so you better not make him look like an idiot for performing this Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa miracle. Please be cool.

Don't forget Festivus for the rest of us. Or rather, for the Festivus partisans among us. Have to be inclusive, after all, be board pc and make everyone happy.

It's the unofficially official MGoHoliday.

who chooses the type of baseball cards?

I think we're going to have to learn the other names you've gone by. I'm sure "bouje" is not one of them, but, just to be on the safe side, observe the proprieties, you know.
December 12th, 2013 at 1:41 PM ^
Sorry JimBob. I never met a JimBob that I liked. Not saying you're a bad guy. Just hate JimBobs. Hate 'em.
Thus 3 weeks isn't long enough for you to get out of Bolivia yet. I don't think you've learned your lesson. The goal is for you not to get sent back again. And I don't think your rehabilitation has achieved that goal yet.
Verdict: IMO, this user is not worthy of a MGoPardon at this time.
Up for a reassessment 1 month after the original Bolivia date.

And I've never been sent to Bolivia.
Also that backwards ass thinking of "I have been here longer, I am more respectable" probably had something to do with you being there.
I am glad you can read dates though.
December 12th, 2013 at 4:39 PM ^
They only people who think how long you've been on the blog doesn't mean anything are people who haven't been on the blog long.
Well, them and Our Fearless Leader now too, I guess...
December 12th, 2013 at 1:43 PM ^
Maybe you can do some community service also to help others not as far into Bolivia as yourself make it back into the land of the MGoLiving.
December 12th, 2013 at 7:01 PM ^
to use due diligence before taking up the offer of ProfitGoBlue. Quite obviously, ambulance-chasing in Bolivia wasn't as lucrative as he had hoped, thus his allegedly well-intentioned offer to represent those like you who have been banished.
Beware, as always---anything that sounds too good to be true usually is.

Did the poster accuse another poster/mod of having sex with his mother? If so, I want to see that poster do something really nice for the mother involved. I'm talking taking her out to dinner - and Subway doesn't count.
Did the poster accuse another poster/mod of beastiality? If so, I want to see an apology to the poster/mod and the relevant animal. Sheep have feelings too.
Did the poster take part in what became a personally nasty fight about the competence of Al Borges? I want the poster to apologize to the other posters in the fight and give Al Borges a hug. I don't care if he acts like he doesn't want the hug - he wants the hug, damnit. He just doesn't want you to know that he wants the hug.

Seems like we could send them Christmas cards.

Ha, someone made a username "mgrowoldisadouche"? What the heck was that fight about MGrowOld?!
December 12th, 2013 at 2:21 PM ^
There was a thread a while ago where a guy who totally slammed a player (if I remember correctly) and I called him out on it in a pretty agressive way. I "won" the battle, so to speak, but within an hour or so mGrowOldisadouche appeared on the board and then was quickly dispatched to Bolivia after posting some not nice things about me.

I didn't realize the Herm account was Boliviated and banned. I thought that guy just disappeared because people figured out he was also someone else the way RDT got outed.
December 12th, 2013 at 2:07 PM ^
I mean he started off with a pretty consistent persona, but then he started not signing his posts, and talking about technology, and generally having a cultural awareness that even I at 29 had to sometimes google, and it just didnt seem right.
December 12th, 2013 at 2:23 PM ^
If memory serves Herm = Chopblock but I could be wrong.
December 13th, 2013 at 10:01 PM ^
Hoooooold on there. The Herm=ChopBlock thing was funny until Herm became a huge asshole.
Incidentally, OysterMonkey thought I was Herm because I posted some sort of "get off my lawn" sentiment, and signed it ~Herm as a finishing touch.
December 12th, 2013 at 2:25 PM ^
Herm liked talking politics and the 'see you next Tuesday' word was pretty prevelant by the end.

Now, a fun post or diary topic would be "Cautionary tales: a collection of stories on how various users got sent to Boliva." It was enjoyable reading interviews with rock star mgousers. It would be a different kind of enjoyable read to have someone collect in one place the reason people were sent to Bolivia. The collection would also ideally include those who had gone, but were released from Bolivia.
Speaking of this topic, there's another kind of user who just vanishes, collapses, is vaporized, is no more. How does that happen? Can all mods do this? Or just the proprieters? Is there a secret meeting of the minds before collapsing an account? Can a user choose to delete his own account?
When I think of the ban, the following comes to mind:
December 12th, 2013 at 7:50 PM ^
This is fascinating. I wondered where some of those people had gone.
December 13th, 2013 at 8:07 AM ^
Curiousity got the best of me so I checked the list. I saw "Dark Blue" on there. Although I think his main crime was MGoStupidity rather than MGoDouchery, just please NO, NO, and NO.
That was the dude with the creepy avatar...curly q hair thing, right? If not I have the wrong dude, dude.
December 12th, 2013 at 1:25 PM ^
Can we request for people to be sent to Bolivia?
December 12th, 2013 at 1:30 PM ^
this is turning into defending your life.
December 12th, 2013 at 1:32 PM ^
I don't think I was around the blog. I know it came from someone mistaking Oblivian for Bolivian, but does anyone have the link the the actual thread where this started? Just curious
December 12th, 2013 at 1:34 PM ^
I might just be projecting but I feel like the quality of the mgoboard has already started to climb once again. Posts like this and the funny comments that follow used to be hallmarks of mgoblog but I can't say I've seen them in a long time... it's good to be back.
December 12th, 2013 at 1:44 PM ^
I was thinking the samething. This is the MGoBlog of old that I remember and love! Nothing like sitting at my desk at work laughing out loud and pressing F5 because I cannot get more.
December 12th, 2013 at 2:17 PM ^

Revisiting that post nearly brought a tear to my eye.

it was fun helping out that day/night.
December 12th, 2013 at 1:49 PM ^
Are there any insurance plans available for MGoPoints?
This could develop into a fairly lucrative business.
December 12th, 2013 at 2:01 PM ^
Free JimBob! He couldn't participate in any of the voting festivities yesterday afternoon. Isn't that punishment enough?!
December 12th, 2013 at 2:11 PM ^
This calls for a posbang Thread.
December 12th, 2013 at 2:13 PM ^
HELL YES!!! But for only 2 reasons: So they can come back as submissive, board pleasing gif posters, or so that the board itself can have the pleasure of negbanging them back to "a Bolivian."
