Before my time but I hear his posting was legendary
He was still here when I joined in 06, got a little of the n00b treatment from him myself... RIP Skip, he was a much more accomplished guy than I might've guessed

Bro are we wasting our lives on here?

Probably, yes.

Well, I don't know. I only get on when I have down time at work. Rarely at night these days so maybe not so much wasting life. ;)

My principal laughed about it but he really tried to screw my professional life because of postings on an internet message board.
This was it, Skip got all butthurt over it. I don't know all the details, just the 1 sided heclaimed to me.

Did he ever apologize for it.

Heh. Yeah, you and me both. One of my all time favorite threads.

Ya know, it's funny. Most of my memories of Skip revolve around "mostly" friendly banter. However, there were times, and that being one of them, where the guy just didn't give a shit about boundaries.

Damn. I was good friends with him and Milkman (I posted what his wife sent me after his passing) from the get go on here…both were known for telling it like it is and hazing n00bs. Sucks, but time waits for nobody, even n00bs. I’m sad to hear this. He even helped me get a contract with directv back in the day that made me a ton of $$$.

Dude was good people if you were able to get past the hard shell.

Take care, friend.

He was extremely opinionated with a LARGE dose of bias mixed in.

RIP to an old KU fan.

Bump 07-19-2023 02:52 PM
RIP always liked his persona and wondered what happened to him, sad

KS Smitty 07-19-2023 03:05 PM
I remember agreeing with his "Astro's aren't minivans" stance. Put me in good standing with him. Also he was right, Astro's were built on light truck chassis and were rear-wheel drive.

RIP Skip.

Rain Man 07-19-2023 03:14 PM
RIP to Skip, but I count anything with a sliding door as a minivan.

(Renewing the argument would make Skip happy.)
