I met Elisha Nelson Mannng IV tonight

Anak : 11/17/2008 8:40 pm
He was on 66th and Madison in some store called Judith Ripka. I got his autograph (I sacrificed my NY Giants hat that I was wearing) but I couldn't get a picture with him. I was such a geek and I might have gotten him sick because I've got a bit of a cold and I accidently spit on him while I was rambling.

I said I've been following his whole career from Ole Miss to now and I wished good luck in Arizona.

He's a very cool guy but very timid

Kinda sounds like a new cartoon on TV

Anak & Eli.
Awesome!  
Dave in DC : 11/18/2008 4:27 pm : link
Anak=1
jlukes and Jake=0
Anak, now that I've seen you, I trouble you no more.  
Jim in Forest Hills : 11/18/2008 4:28 pm : link
But you bring alot of this on yourself, and I think you enjoy the attention to some degree. Good luck to you.
Good Thing He Never Adds His Number  
Dave in DC : 11/18/2008 4:29 pm : link
Also, Eli does not sign his number
jlukes : 11/17/2008 8:53 pm
when he signs


ANAK

Want to swap stalkers? I'll take jlukes and you can have the douche bag who follows me around
pipe down racist

I'd say the autographs including his number  
montanagiant : 11/18/2008 5:31 pm : link
Are less then 1% of what he signs.

You can't find any SB swag he signed with his #. Its also next to impossible finding his photos with a signed #. I have looked repeatedly because i firmly believe those with his #'s are going to be worth quite a bit more then the ones without due to the scarcity
Nice job again, Anak....

Continually making fools of BBI's heavy hitters. You even got Bill2 into the act with this one, though that's kind of sad since I considered him one of the more level headed people here.

True rptl  
Bill2 : 11/19/2008 8:13 am : link
In some defense I would point out to you my post at 10:13PM...but it is a defense....in other words an excuse. These threads bother me...piling on is a personal foul. I admit that the thought of ending the nonsense by verifying one way or another struck me as one way out of the Anak mess. (its not Anak, its the reaction, although he plays with fire for his own fascination). In the past, I spoke out about it, but I just got tired of the while scene

That was a dumb idea on my part.

Truth is folks will always isolate and rip the defenseless among them. Its a tactic that works for those who mask fragility with aggression...distracts the mob from oneself and literally feels good.

There was a kid called Martin who we all piled on in freshman year high school. Martin was smaller and rounder and softer and stuttered a bit and did awkward (but never obnoxious or rotten) things and his Mom picked him up from school when we all took the subway. It was funny, it was witty, the game was to be funnier than the next guy. Martin could not deal. So it got louder, more frequent and worse.
I was good at it. Verbal aggression came naturally. I had no conscience about it. After all I was "with" all the other guys.

Martin did not know what to do.

First day of sophmore year the Dean of Students came over the speaker system and told us that Martin solved the problem over the summer.



I am sure this is very different....but thats to Anak's credit...not ours.

Thanks for your post rptl...speaking out matters and calls us to account in ways that should make us better
So someone verified that Eli was in fact at the store last night,  
Curtis in MD : 11/19/2008 8:37 am : link
and everyone disappears?

Time to man up. Lots of apologies are in order.
2 - you must have missed the political threads  
Bill L : 11/19/2008 9:06 am : link
and our own exiled capitalist
wait  
The Jake : 11/19/2008 9:09 am : link
so Bill2 convinced someone to off himself?

curtis  
The Jake : 11/19/2008 9:11 am : link
so you realized that it wasn't just "jake harassing anak" like you claimed, and that other people also called him out?

welcome to reality. nice to have you with us.
You do have to admit, though, that you have raised it to a new level  
Bill L : 11/19/2008 9:14 am : link
and are now completely moated in with your stubborn refusal to leave the citadel of Myopia in light of all the facts?
Jake,  
Curtis in MD : 11/19/2008 9:19 am : link
I never said you were the only one. But you kept after it more than anyone else. You're the one that kept "taking it a step further", as you put it a few times yesterday.

For someone who has no problems whatsoever dishing it out, you seem to get offended easily.
Also,  
Curtis in MD : 11/19/2008 9:22 am : link
for the record and for whatever its worth...in response to one of your posts from earlier, I don't "hate" you. I'm sure you're probably a good guy. I just thought the pile on yesterday was unnecessary. And pointless.
I'm consistently surprised  
Beez : 11/19/2008 9:22 am : link
that anyone gives a crap about any of this, aside from light entertainment value, on either side of the fence.

That said: dupe.
BillL  
Bill2 : 11/19/2008 9:23 am : link
The degree of complicity in that situation used to leave me much more sympathetic to your point on this. Not so with what I saw this year. I do not think the active agitation promulgated by each side is remotely in the same league as in this situation.

Nor the point and intent of the poster to the community....nor the experience nor the self protective knowledge earned in life. Not the same. imho.

However, our own actions are in each case our responsibility
Also  
Beez : 11/19/2008 9:24 am : link
for the record ... I hate Curtis and The Jake equally. But not as much as I hate Larry.
I was walking down the street  
Motley Blue : 11/19/2008 9:25 am : link
and a man came around the corner and punched me in the chest.
I looked up and said,"Eli Manning?!". He said,"Oops I'm sorry. I thought you were someone else."
Bill2 ... you have great advice for others, often.  
Beez : 11/19/2008 9:25 am : link
My advice - stop.
Motley,  
Curtis in MD : 11/19/2008 9:27 am : link
You ain't never met Eli Nelson Manning the 4th!!!

Eff Beez! Eff Jake! and Eff Motley!

Who's next???
I think you covered it.  
Beez : 11/19/2008 9:29 am : link
.
2- I see your point I don't disagree completely either  
Bill L : 11/19/2008 9:29 am : link
just think there's an overblown vulture mentality, even there (and that was the most extreme example I could think of; I think that there were many more, albeit lesser ones, on the pre-election threads)
Beez  
Bill2 : 11/19/2008 9:30 am : link
Like you a ton. But one cannot express sensitivy to the rudeness of a former poster upon meeting them in person...and simultaneously display less sensitivity to a kid (or if you think of him as a dupe (and many guys like Mook and Ash and LTS who know him and I trust as high integrity people, do indicate he is a real raw unadulterated kid )then you must understand the degree of desperation and tortured way of relating involved).

As adults with kids of our own within a few years of Anak...we do not belong talking on these threads at all?

My should have done better mistake to get involved...but the inconvience to what I should have done does not change the truth of the matter
BillL  
Bill2 : 11/19/2008 9:32 am : link
Agree with the good point

And I am out of here...real work beckons
Ok, thats it.  
Curtis in MD : 11/19/2008 9:32 am : link
I'm definitely popping in Coming to America when I get home tonight.
Do they actually know Anak?  
Beez : 11/19/2008 9:34 am : link
Or, do they know "he" has a FaceBook page? I don't think any of them has ever met him. (I could be wrong.)

Remember, one very well respected poster, who allegedly actually sent gifts to other BBIers and was allegedly in a tailgate photo, then suddenly died and was mourned by many here - sincerely - in a Bob in Annapolis-fashion, was indeed a figment of one BBIer's imagination. A dupe.

I'm a skeptic.
To quote 26:  
Beez : 11/19/2008 9:36 am : link
This place is weird.

Granted, I contribute to it, but ... in a more "normal" weird way.

:)
Beez,  
Curtis in MD : 11/19/2008 9:51 am : link
who was that?

I guess I didn't get him sick after all  
Anak : 11/24/2008 3:26 am : link
And I'm the lucky charm
you're something alright  
CardinalX : 11/24/2008 10:31 am : link

By the way  
Anak : 11/26/2008 1:18 am : link
Thank you to the person who called me on the website of the picture, a tool and said I had shitty sunglasses (they weren't even sunglasses!)
You really could find a more creative way  
montanagiant : 11/26/2008 1:19 am : link
To bump you thread for attention
Montana  
Anak : 11/26/2008 1:20 am : link
Actually, I'm curious as to who called me a tool on that website
if nobody claims responsibility  
CardinalX : 11/26/2008 1:44 pm : link


i call DIBS!
tee hee  
seeker716 : 11/12/2009 7:03 pm : link

The link is broken, no more picture  
bois : 11/12/2009 7:07 pm : link
So I'm calling bullshit all over again.
