We missed avid reader day. How did we let this happen?

 

[AFDawg]

I thought Avid Reader Day had gone the way of DDDY.

 

[drt7891]

Not to my knowledge. DDDY had a legitimate reason to go away.

 

[HD6]

I tweeted DS about it on Saturday, I feel ashamed.

 

[57stratdawg]

What's that?

 

[noxdog]

Walt Fleming day, of course

Good Times!!

What's that?

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

I hear the Avid Reader was at a local sports bar today...

...cussing out everyone who was watching "Communist Football". I think he said, quote unquote, "THE GREATNESS OF AMERICA IS INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL TO THE POPULARITY OF SOCCER IN THIS COUNTRY!!"

 

[AFDawg]

I had assumed it just sort of died of neglect.

I'm sorry I missed out on why we canceled DDDY...?

The contest was named for a guy who was the subject of a pretty humiliating thread about 7-8 years ago. The fact the guy really did nothing wrong and we were simply making fun of him being a douchebag really didn't warrant us continuing to drag his name through the mud, especially since the guy is working and has a family now.

Also the fact the board is much bigger now than it was then...

Also - the guy who ran it - life got in the way (i.e. kids, job, etc).

 

[Sutterkane]

I usually remember it too.

well he was dealing steroids wasn't he? As in convicted, not just rumored. I thought he participated in the thread, didn't he show up? I think his myspace page or something was linked, it had ninja turtles on it. Maybe his slampiece posted defending him?

 

[dawgstudent]

Ninja turtles? Ole Miss copying Mississippi State again. Can y'all do something original?

You left out the part where he was banging all our womens.

 

[Optimus Prime 4]

I'm actually surprised no one mentioned it yet

And I considered leaving it out of my post for that reason. But it was too critical to that day.

 

[Chesusdog]

I had to go back and read the SPS Remembers post

It'd been too long since DD graced us with his presence. Of course being in federal pound-you-in-the-*** prison probably limits one's internet access. No one did ever answer Leighanne's question of why we're so jealous though.
