Steaming underway. Yeesh. Long hours in that kinda heat. But I was a lot, A LOT younger in those days.You may be sent to the engine room, but you're still onboard.
There was a huge blowup between toad and peter. It got ugly. VERY ugly. 3 threads ended up locked, and rightly so. That's the condensed CLiff Notes version. If you want to go through the three locked threads, have at it.I honestly have no idea what any of this is about. I swear to god you guys have to start yelling louder when there is drama. I can only hear out of one fucking ear right now.
Forget that. I’ll just win the pick em and use the $100 to pay someone to read them to me.There was a huge blowup between toad and peter. It got ugly.

I've stewed on it for the last week or so and I can honestly say in the time I've posted on message boards I've never been more disgusted than I am with what transpired with Pete and Toad. And it isn't even so much what Toad said but that it was actually played down by some or ignored entirely. This wasn't just some petty beef. That was an absolutely horrible thing to say to a man who lost his child.
Many of you let Handi get way too far into your head. That's on you. Is he an ass much of the time? Yes. Did Pete not tell you guys this repeatedly? Yep.
But it's cool I wasn't welcomed to the Purple Board anyway. The very thing that effectively started the Rivals disintegration as we know it.

Yeah, we worked 6 & 6 due to the heat and it sucked. Most folks stayed away from MM's & BT's as they thought we were animals. Which we were... That much heat makes a mofo cra cra.Steaming underway. Yeesh. Long hours in that kinda heat. But I was a lot, A LOT younger in those days.

I couldn't do that shit now (40 years later.)
Hard to tell from the pic. LPD?This was the last ship I was on - out of San Diego. And yes, it was a Marine Uber for the Pacific.

I didn't know Peter so it was easy for me to choose Toad. I've known the guy a decade. Peter is a part of a board that wasn't very welcoming and I'm fine with it just being us rivals folks here.I've stewed on it for the last week or so and I can honestly say in the time I've posted on message boards I've never been more disgusted than I am with what transpired with Pete and Toad.

Agreed. Toad is my boy... He may be a little damaged, but by Gob he is ours.I didn't know Peter so it was easy for me to choose Toad. I've known the guy a decade. Peter is a part of a board that wasn't very welcoming and I'm fine with it just being us rivals folks here.
Everyone has a retarded cousin they keep chained in the basement.Agreed. Toad is my boy... He may be a little damaged, but by Gob he is ours.
If you don't know who that is I have bad news for you....Everyone has a retarded cousin they keep chained in the basement.
The "Rivals disintegration" started long before the "Purple Board". Hell, it was fully responsible for said "Purple Board". See it however you want to.
Handi said the same kind of shit to Pete on Hoop. I don't remember you getting holier than thou then. Neither did we. You do you, but don't go all sanctimoneous.
