;D This thread is for all the “Starters” out there. ;D Let’s face it, in our numerous ranks -- and despite our less than stellar per-capita postings -- we mean something to this little enterprise known as the Starship Hoyatalk. So rev ‘er up! Not as voluble as the All-Americans (the Brahmins among us) nor the Big Easters (the Trump-like Nouveau), but less timid (or less busy with our “real lives”?) than the mere Members Only, we fall into that great statistical heap, that massive pile-on of humanity known as the Hump of the Bell Curve !! But our average-ness should not be misinterpreted to make us mere Heck no! Not us! We are no mere Average Joe’s. We are Joe Average HOYAs! Living large in the crowds at GU basketball games and moonwalking (OK, maybe only in our more-coordinated dreams) with the likes of Jack!! In our mediocrity, do we find only the comfort so well-known to fellow practitioners of the “herd mentality”? NO WAY! In our numbers, we instead find strength! In our median-ness, and our massive-ness, we shout out yet another “M” word …….. So here it is. Our very own Starters Only Thread. And it’s about time. Because, as we all know, we need a thread like this as a forum just for the big heapin' bunch of us. One available for frequent postings. In other words, a place where we can run up our counts to satisfy our deep-down true desire ..... that to which we truly aspire .... ;D elevation to the Big East …. coronation in the All American. Sigh …….. the elites!

WOW! Is it a Friday afternoon or WHAT?
This just goes to show, it is not the quantity of posts, boys, but the quality!
Wait. . .
CRAP! CRAP! CRAP!
OK, so I lose on both counts there. That is beside the point.
The point is, I can't remember what the point is, but I am quite sure there is a point. Maybe one of those elite(ist) All-Americans can tell me what the point is.
;D
Wait, I remember. The point is, happy hour is almost here.
Can't talk, goin' to Moe's.

Thank you, SF .... (Lawya takes a bow) ..... and with this posting, notches up one more count towards the next echelon of All Big East Nouveau riche-ness. ;D
Have a good weekend, Boz.

For some reason I find that picture of Jack the Bulldog to be hilarious. What a weird pose.

Okay. I guess this is my home now. Can I have the bed next to the window overlooking the pool?

Yes, MCI ... you may have that bed. But just don't go leaving cookie crumbs on the sheets.

Yeah, I've just recently moved to the starter ranks, so I'll join in the fun here. Starters are the best because we post enough to show we care, but not enough to show that we actually have lives too. All-Americans seriously have way too much time on their hands. I mean, I feel like I should be doing something productive when I'm scrolling and posting on the board 3 times a day, and I'm only a starter!
That being said, HOYA SAXA to all!

Can I just take a few minutes here to lament the fate of everyone who is confined to this thread?
God, do we suck!
Look at that other thread, with those All-Americans and their fancy furniture, high hats constantly stocked with Cristal, plasma screen HDTVs and far, FAR superior insights in their posts.
I so wish I was one of the cool kids!
They get to date supermodels, we're stuck here with scrambled porn on the Spice Channel.
They eat surf and turf every night, we're stuck here with macaroni & cheese. And not even the GOOD macaroni & cheese with the packets of creamy sauce; no, we got the dry, pasty stuff.
I hear each of them even gets a personal masseuse every night. Not masseur, MASSEUSE!!
And even if we continue to post. If we continue to post, HAH!
Even if we write posts so far above our heads that our noses bleed for a week to ten days. . .
Even if God in Heaven above points his hand at our posts. . .
Even if every man, woman and child joined hands together and prayed for our posts. . .
It just wouldn't matter because all the really good-looking girls would still go out with the guys from the All-American thread because they've got all the money! ! ! !
It just doesn't matter if we post or if we don't post!
IT JUST DOESN'T MATTER!

I'm crashing this party, er, thread! Talk about no respect, it's the unsung group of practice players, make that "members", like me, that do all the dirty work to make you starters, all BE, and all Americans the great and wonderful players/posters that you are today. Talk about no respect, we don't even get our names on the back of the jerseys when we do get to dress out for games. Talk about no respect, not only do we not get the really good looking girls, we don't even get the ugly girls. Thank heaven for Mary Palmer and her five sisters!

Boz, Boz, Boz ........... First of all, I stage a DARING DAYLIGHT RAID upon the All American Clubhouse to come back to our humble Starters Clubhouse with this ..... and you come in, plump your lazy backside on the new-found cushy comfort, and waste time with your KVETCH, KVETCH, KVETCH! Now, I'm tellin' ya ...... you've got to PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER. The All-Americans might be hanging out in fully-paid luxury in one of those mansions along Embassy Row, while we're two months behind in our rent for our digs in Anacostia, but SELF-HELP is the order of the day here. You want ...... and you want .... then hop in my jalopy and help me out with TODAY's RAID. We might even be able to snatch up some o' these .... and finish off a fine night of caviar and champagne in our clubhouse with a contest to see who can blow the finest smoke rings. As far as your rant about the supermodels and HoyaInSpirit (hey!! WHO invited YOU here?) and his rant about ugly girls and Mary Palmer's sisters, WISE UP! I've been in those All-Americans' digs, and trust me, man ........ there is NO evidence that those guys are hanging out with supermodels. Hoya games don't bring out supermodels, no matter how RICH those All Americans are. As RDF would tell ya, supermodels dig rich movie stars and Lakers' games.

Actually, it was -- in fact -- the daring daylight raid that inspired me to channel Bill Murray's Tripper there for a few minutes. So your efforts are not unnoticed (even if my brilliant recitations of movie speeches are at times).
As for the rest, pure blather. Pay no attention. I'm worse than a chick with all my mood swings.
I shuld probably mention that today's mood swing is slightly sociopathic, so I am not at all sure that any of you even exist except in my own little private snow globe.

I couldn't hold out any longer (and couldn't really come up with anything legitimate, meaningful, insightful, provocative....) so why not a pointless post with pictures for number 100 (just like nos. 47-99) and get it over with! I've just burned my Member's Only jacket! Best of the Lousiest! Lousiest of the Best! ** Seriously, thanks to all who post real inside info and insight on this board to keep me in touch with my Hoyas!!!
