I've been around for a lot longer than my profile says. Anyone else remember the days of Herky mailing list, a listserve of all things Hawkeye sports? Here is a link to its archives:

But the point of being politically correct, as you put it, is NOT to curtail how people talk in private with friends and relatives. It is a request to be inoffensive in public spaces and to avoid offending people and hurting their feelings. I am not sure why that is a negative thing --- we should all be more respectful and polite when not in our own inner circles, IMO.
The ceiling cat photoshop pic with her head popping up above the stall still to this day cracks me up.
I don't disagree with that, at least with the not offending people bit. I always play it that way. With public stuff... depends. I think a politician or leader representing all people, of course, should it play it that way.
But I think what I pointed out is indeed what people don't like about PCism and why people complain about it. That's when PCism goes too far and why it gets a bad name.

I guess it's a matter of degrees.
My daughter is EXTREMELY woke --- like to an annoying level for even this self-described liberal who grew up in Madison and was educated in Iowa City --- but for me the over-the-top crap just elicits eye rolls, not anger. It really is 99% harmless (I don't buy the horseshit whining about being 'canceled,' the concept of voting with your wallet is not unique to the Woke crowd) so getting enraged about it seems dumb to me.
No, I posted my ex-wife and I in the "Post a Pic of you" thread. I don't remember the guy but I do remember the wife wearing yellow bra, black panties and a football helmet.

Your spank bank memory recovery game is solid, friend!
5k, will be accredited 33 percent of verdict, remainder to client. That, and a pair of numbchucks
Damn! Normally 10 hours? You're $500 an hour!?! Watch your ass @Tenacious E
I got me what the industry calls a "ball buster". They're usually reserved for man hating lawyers in dissolution trials.
I'm fully equipped to mount a defense - come at me!
My funniest story goes back years. A long gone poster lived near my hometown, and one year I planned a trip back home to visit my parents, but wife could not get off work so I went alone. I sent an email to the poster, a good guy whose name was Jessie IRL, and we made plans to meet and have a drink. Now, the wife thinks this HROT stuff is nerdy AF, so I didn’t mention this to her out of embarrassment.
Fast forward to the week I’m gone to Iowa. Mrs Radley is looking for some information that she can’t find, so she goes to my computer to see if she can find it on my PC. She sees my emails up and notices one from “Jessie.” She doesn’t recognize the name, reads the email that confirms we are getting together for drinks, and reaches the conclusion that Jessie is a girl and I am having an affair.
She completely freaked out, had her best friend come over and try to talk her down, and they finally decided she would call Jessie (who had left his phone number in the email) and confront “her.” She calls the number, and Jessie’s wife answers! A female voice on the phone! Wife asks, “Is Jessie there?” and the reply is, “No, he’s not home right now.”
He?!?! Within 30 seconds she understood what was going on. But we still laugh about how for about an hour she thought our marriage was over!

Yes. that is why when I am at home by myself I spew a non stop stream of sexist racist material.
So she doesn't care that you bang dudes?
You better law up a barrister. Perhaps you can have one of the other hrot lawyers. If not, go pro ce
I got banned years ago when KF wouldn't play a backup for James Vandenberg.
I was just negative and got banned.
Thought it was BS but whatever.
I might go out with a mega porn thread this time. LOL
Can’t believe you forgot about New Orleans when talking about that era.

This SOB is over here playing 4D chess
Just imagine if he would have married a girl named Jessie, Jess, etc?!?! That could have been a real shitstorm for you talking your way out of that one.
Well, even an attorney needs counsel when emotion is involved. It would be a shame if I won on summary judgment and you don't have an attorney to blame.
Classic and all, but nobody believes that story right? That's as fake as when hawkeyes2011 went up to Minnesota a decade ago or so.
Hey, hey, hey. I've already consulted with you. You can't talk with him. You should be telling him to represent himself with how much your charging me!!
When the deposit is made is the formal agreement. anyways, I'm required to put him on notice of default judgment if he doesn't have an attorney

QCcawk was more indicative of your general behavior.
Been here since 2005 but mostly lurked. So many good memories. The GDR stuff was funny until it got old. StevenPatrick (who I saw like a post earlier in this thread!) was a great troll…everyone thought it was Torbee but I’ve always maintained that it was Legend12. NPRLover, Derrick, GrantWood, OIT, The HALO schism was unfortunate but probably necessary. HawkMeetsWorld thought he was cool sh** for starting the “post a pic of yourself” thread. Loogey going nuts over some milf at church, the girl in volleyball class, Lois, Soybean’s coin on the fence post or whatever it was, New Orleans bachelor party.
There was a group in DSM meeting up for lunch every now and then…I almost considered showing up once, just to see how fat and ugly everyone actually is.
Edit: The Game with Erin Andrews and then the photoshop! Or the M1/M2 debate.

Me? To paraphrase Waylon Jennings, I'm too dumb for Iowa City, too ugly for Des Moines.
That was a while ago. Got married, gained some weight and have some gray hairs now…. Getting old is rough.
I remember at one meeting (Highlife Lounge) the girl I was dating thought it was so weird that I would attend a DSMBoyz meeting. So her and a friend came to just watch us…… it was pitiful
Wow. As another who has been around since the dawn of time (aka Big Ten Fan Forums), this thread is a real walk down memory lane. Ol' Doodle still recalls the epic implosion of the BTFF that ultimately resulted in the various offshoots including our humble home here and others mentioned herein. Crazy to think of how long it's been and how fast it has gone by.
