A-Train is in the HOUSE!
 

Hey people, I am now a member after being banned for the umpteenth time at Cougarboard, the last one being a month long ban. I don't post as much as I used to but I am tired of the nazi mentality of the moderators over there. This last ban came due to someone sending me a nasty boardmail so I responded in kind. You know, talking about that person's mother, etc... well they passed it on to the board moderators and they banned me for a month even though this spat I had was done via privately.

Anyway, I look forward to talking trash with all of you who I know and hope the Cougars beat the Cowboys like red headed step child that Karsten Sween is.

Another A's fan is always welcome on cougarguard.

I forgot to introduce myself... I currently live in Minnesota and have done so for 7 years after growing up in the Bay Area. After the Cougars, my love is Oakland A's baseball. I currently work for an e-commerce company here in Minneapolis and am married with 4 kids.

Not having the MTN living in Minnesota has been death by water boarding. There is nothing worse than listening to BYU football on the radio... OK, listening to Frank Dolce doing Ute games is worse but both are pretty tough to listen to.

where at in the bay area did you grow up?

This is the Zion's Bank post of the day. Yo quiero Taco Bell.

Grew up in John Muir's backyard of Martinez, CA. Went to College Park Highschool, which has to be the anti DeLaSalle of Highschool football. The year after I graduated College Park was rated the worst High School team in America.

After BYU moved back to Martinez but decided on having worldly possessions... you know the deal, big house, fake tatas for the wife, and a nice ride without having to commute 2 hours a day.

I lived right across the bridge in Benicia, College Park was in our league the good old MBAL (Mountain Bay Athletic League). I lived there until my sophomore year of highschool then we moved to Utah. But you were long gone by then. I graduated in 1999. I remember playing College park we played at DVC on the turf. That was always fun, I think Big Piney is a Martinez guy.

My ex-wife was born in Martinez.

Awesome post, Steel.

My only take on Martinez is that I pulled off looking for gas and could not find a freaking gas station in a town of refineries.

All I can say A-Train is welcome and I love the avatar. I do wonder, however, if many know the meaning of a "Dirty Sanchez".

Screech unfortunately made it a household phrase. What a despicable human being.

Yes, as if the act wasn't gross enough, to have Screech associated with it just makes the thought of it 1000x worse.

I can hardly enjoy a Cleveland Steamer anymore, what with that image in my mind.

The scatalogical stuff is one type of sexual deviance I utterly cannot fathom. How anybody could get turned on by that boggles my mind. Has to be something seriously messed up in there.

Uh-huh, this coming from mister Two Girls, One Cup...

Urban dictionary is a beautiful site. I had to decide which avatar of mine to pull out first. I first thought about going with the Shocker Logo then I thought about the Donkey Punch only to settle on the Dirty Sanchez.

I must say, while on the other board, I laugh every time I see a post by hot lunch. Look it up at urbandictionary.com but my favorite definition is the "puma crawl".

That is the most disgusting thing I have ever read.

All ya'll are felchers.

I saw the documentary "This movie is not yet rated" where John Waters wondered aloud whether many of these urban dictionary gross outs are for real. He said (of felching, which you do not want to know what it is) "I don't know anybody who is that perverted. And I know A LOT of perverts."

Obviously he does not know Landpoke.

Welcome aboard A-train. Good to have you.

welcome A-train
 

I also have some serious Solano county experience

Not to be too nit-picky, but Martinez isn't in Solano County. But who's keeping track, right? (Apparently I am)

What part of Solano County?

Contra Costa County?

Welcome A-Train. My brother lives in Concord and they're HUGE A's fans.

Well, its no Calaveras County, but the smoke stacks in Martinez do hold a special place in my heart, taking me back to a simpler time when you could drive down Hwy 680 with only the occasional spray from a 12 gauge shotgun, instead of the full automatic weapons the kids are using these days.

Now, if you'd like to visit a beautiful little corner of God's green earth, I'd be happy to give any of you a tour of my grandma's hometown of over 50 years, Pittsburg, CA. I'm sure creekster or BigPiney would agree.
