Re: OT: Sunspot: Whom do you miss?
The new Maiden video is sick! I like how they sneaked in so many easter eggs from previous albums. Can't wait for their new album. Dream Theater dropping a new one in October as well.

Re: OT: Sunspot: Whom do you miss?
My memories of SS:
Adam Meister - Adam Meister starting trolling early as a teenager on the ESPNZone chat rooms from the mid 90's, if anyone actually remembers those. Meister was such a dick. He tried to make people on ESPN chat believe that he was Peter Schmuck. I was posting on ESPN a lot back in those days and caught on right away and I ratted him out to everyone who was falling for it. Instead of admitting he was a fraud, he went and made up a fake email address, like "pschmuck@yahoo" or something like that in a last gasp attempt to make people believe he was legit.
SanDiegoSean - LOL! Guy drove a new Jaguar, had a beach house in La Jolla, allegedly a wealthy executive. Also acted like he had connections in the front office. Oddly enough he just disappeared from the boards 10+ years ago. I think he did show up at a meetup one time? Maybe someone recalls meeting him.
TravisMoon - guy was so weird. He was allegedly a huge O's fan but had zero ties to this area. I honestly think he stole the idea from watching Seinfeld and decided to run with it as his own schtick. I remember one really funny incident when I was in San Antonio on business and Travis was doing his show one afternoon "live" outside one of those HEB stores. I stopped by and stood off to the side and heckled him for a couple minutes using terms like "Fakey fan!". It was a riot. People were looking at me like I was on drugs, not having a clue what I was referencing. I posted here about how funny it was, and he came on and responded that it never happened. I think it really embarrassed him that someone from Sunspot showed up on his turf 1500 miles away to call him out in public. Then he came on here after SS folded and tried to act like a Ravens fan. I think we ran him off after a couple weeks.
And then there was the Skins fan whose handle escapes me who was always talking about all these gourmet meals that they were eating while fat Ravens fans were busy eating Pollock Johnnie's and other greasy foods. Anyone remember who that was?

Re: OT: Sunspot: Whom do you miss?
I don't recall meeting him, or maybe I did. I've met many from the message boards over 20+ years. I seem to recall meeting him + BaltimoreRon one pregame, but fuzzy
However, I do clearly recall helping him out via phone with game tickets, tailgating, and/or road trip planning about 12-15 or so years ago.
Also: IIRC, he had morphed from IndySean to SanDiegoSean late 90's or early 00'sIn a 2003 BBC poll that asked Brits to name the "Greatest American Ever", Mr. T came in fourth, behind ML King (3rd), Abe Lincoln (2nd) and Homer Simpson (1st).

Re: OT: Sunspot: Whom do you miss?
Hey Crow-Magnons, howzit hanging? Anyone still struggling with the Continuing Unpleasantness? Other than #8, I mean...
* * *
Does anyone but me remember a Brit who was on Sunspot for the SB35 run, handle of CockneyRaven? Real name Sean IIRC. Also IIRC, his mother had remarried a prof at UMCP but he gravitated back to Blighty. I met him down near 'Naplis one year when he came over to visit, and then in I think 2002 I was in London and took a commuter train out to the 'burb where he was pulling pints in a pub & we hung out till last train back. It was right about then they had their first kid. Hail fellow well met, wish him well wherever he may be....If yinz ain't vaxxed & boosted by now, ain't nuffin' I say gonna change yer mind. Just don't drop dead on my lawn.
Слава Україні! героям слава!
