Big THANK YOU to Halo! Thanks for the board!
 

:angel:

I would have lost my mind years ago without blackandgold.com!

Thank you for giving us a place to vent and opine!

Oh! Thank you for not being a nazi d***-head like mods on other boards!

I'll second that, and Halo, thanks for not being an NDH!:)

LONG
LIVE
B&G.com!












Thanks Halo:bng:

What I really meant was, Thank you for being the best at what you do!

He didn't mean that Halo.lol:peace:Rocky!

Ditto! I brag about our board everywhere I visit around the league as being a clear-headed, quality run site. I thank you, as well!

:bng:

And I need to drop by your home board again soon, SloMo. I've been a bit preoccupied recently.

From the B&G prodigal son, I concur.

I never should have left.

I'm sorry for being the A-hole that I was Mark. I just wish I'd come back before JoeSam passed.

This board not only trumps the other Saints boards, but this is my absolute favorite place to be on the internet.

I even keep the board open in its own auto-refreshing tab most of the time...

I'd be lost without it!

I spend more time here than I do with my family. It's hard to say which one means the most to me.:wink:

I vividly remember when I found this site.

There I was, lost in the hell on earth that is, Oahu Hawaii.

I had lost almost all touch with my beloved Saints. I received the occasional call from civilization (New Orleans). I was resigned to my fate. The abject misery of having to live in such a miserable hell-hole like Hawaii was worsened by the knowledge that I, a willing volunteer of our Army was forced, against my will to sacrifice by being there.

At the end of my rope, I found the beacon of hope that is blackandgold.com! It saw me through the ordeal of having to sacrifice for my nation by spending four long years in Hawaii! I won't even get into the things my family endured. Long days on a hot beach!

Mark saw me through that and the years I spent in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado Springs. Imagine having to go out to your deck and seeing mountain ranges! The things sacrifices I endured in the service of my country were lessened by the link to home that blackandgold.com provided.

There were a few lovely places like Iraq and Afghanistan along the way, but I'm not trying to brag about living in those pieces of Heaven. You should see them in the Spring! omg!

Thanks Mark!

Ditto on what everyone else has said, this is definitely the best sports board I've come across, but sometimes I do think this board is too addictive...

I myself stumbled across this site,fell down,and got stomped on a brief second!I proceeded to take my newbie lashings(:bs:)and lived to tell about it!WTF:confused:(joking)Shh don't tell nobody but....I brought that on myself TO A DEGREE!:doh:

There's many great posters here who keep things in perspective and are very knowledgeable .Every blue moon you find an occasional outburst of something from another planet(Pete is the usual culprit):smile:
I've picked up a great deal of knowledge here over the time I've taken up Space at THE BNG and love the atmosphere here!

I had never joined (and still haven't) another Saints site besides this one which explains me being so FKN rough around the edges I guess you'd say.Beginners luck??:bng:
@ the end of the day I'm proud to be a member here,and can't wait to see our fan base and organization grow to levels we @ one time probably never thought was possible.(speaking for myself here)
Thank you all for helping me along.
And Mark to you I say......
Shît I forgot what I wanted to say!:dunce:

Oh yeah....
WHO-DAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ditto all the positive comments...I love this site!! This is the first forum I ever joined, I am lucky to have found the B&G before any others!!

This place sucks get out while you still can!:smile:

I totally agree! I joined during the lock-out, starving for Saints info. I am happy to have somewhere to go where we can disagree without trolling eachother, and speak our minds without getting modded. B&G is an awesome community!

Actually I saw many doctors for this very reason, and by the time Ole' Pete was DONE WITH THEM they were writing prescriptions for themselves.I've got 43.5 medical degrees on my wall they no longer wanted!You should come by and check out my wall of forfeitures FinSaint!:p

I'll gladly take you up on that offer if you include the flight fare into that package!

I'm Bi-Polar remember,I just burnt my house down!Do you have a cardboard box I could rent for a reasonable price?Preferably one that won't leak or rot in this Louisiana humidity...

Sure, I'll bring one over and you can have it for free - after you wire the flight fare!

I'm also psychotic...I'm mean psychic; I mailed it yesterday!

Ok. I'll see to the cardboard box. I can't wait to come over. You're a really nice guy IMO - no matter what the others might say about you! :-)

Yeah but look what I got in return for not listening to the Zoo Keeper with the degree!

Don't worry about it, I already told you I'll bring you a new one - I can also include some bubble wrap, so you'll have something else to do with your hands.

Bubblewrap I will use as a pillow.:bng:

I've gotta say that was one weird video clip!

Imagine all the people coming here for some information on the Saints, and then they stumble on to this thread - what a disappointment it must be. :-(

To Halo and all the other Mods on here that help make this site what it is..

Thanks for the help buddy.:sad::smile:
Hey Mark sorry man lol

Nice meeting you FinSaint:bng:



I apologize to all who have found MY post as ridiculous as I did.WTF :smile:
Guess that's what I get for being Bi-Polar lol

Now, that's funny!

I LOVE HALO!!! GIVE ME SUM SUGA!!

Much Love to Halo !!!!

Scholfield Barracks? I feel your pain brother ... Kaneohe Bay, MCAS ... not a day passes I don't think of that place and the 'hell' one must endure being stationed there ... ah, yes ... Oahu ... :wink: ... but, as you pointed out, those units do seem to deploy regularly.

You should change the name of this thread to ARSE KISSING CENTRAL. roflmao. Just kidding and thanks Halo you really don't know it but you have given me some advice over the years and I actually used it. Don't worry it didn't make me a millionaire and shizit!

You know if there is a "Mushy" thread, 'm gonna get in on it.

This is a site that means more than football, to me. This site has gotten me through 2 deployments overseas; gave me the chance to "meet" some great people; and allowed me to join the best FFL in history.

I love this site. We don't always agree on things and sometime threads can get a little heated. But in the end, we still respect one another.

You guys and gals are a second family to me and I will be here until my end of days. You guys and gals are the best.

So to end this love fest; Mark, you and the rest of the people that keep the heart of this website running, have done a great job. You may never see riches and glory for it, in material things. But I hope this is one of those type of things that fills your soul with happiness. To be able to bring so much happiness to people is worth more than it's weight in gold.

Thank you, just isn't a strong enough word. So I will just say;

Love you brother,

Sapper

DAM I need to get my lip stick and knee pads out again? i to old for this


thanks halo

I can't help but stare... but that does has something on it's chin.
