100 fun facts I uncovered while going through ProBoards

Post by jwoo »

Presented with zero context other than this actually took a lot of time lol.

Here are 100 fun facts I uncovered while going through the old SLN boards today.

1. Matt changed his name to "Tiny Gallon" for some reason

2. My first ever trade block was for Chris Childs, who holds the Raptors record for single-game turnovers

3. We have a rule that allows for flipping contracts but it's only ever been used once

4. The original Mavs GM was Tarun and he quit after like a month

5. For some reason, I gave Birdman a +10 potential boost

6. Just remembered Dimitris Diamantidis

7. Basically nobody commented on any sims at all until the second season

8. Just remembered Oscar Schmidt

9. Multiple GMs were excited about Ricky Davis

10. We all used to be so much nicer to each other

11. The last franchise to get claimed when we were picking teams was the Pistons, is that the origin of the curse

12. Just realized Ashes actually ran a creation draft lottery, I guess the conspiracies are dead

13. Steven once made a thread that was "YOU ARE 13 YEARS OLD AND THE YAKUZA HAS YOU DEAD TO RIGHTS"

14. Does anyone remember what that thread was about?

15. Remember the debate about wiping your ass sitting down versus standing?

16. Heimer stands and wipes in a crouch

17. Ralph also said he does that

18. Bobby said he was a stand up wiper for 26 years. You guys are so weird

19. Ashes is a Marlins fan???????



20. Clint's birthday is December 21st

21. DMo and Hoff once tried to start a fantasy baseball league that nobody else was down for

22. Remember Juan Espil?

23. Our original podcast lineup was me, Nick, Tyler, Heimer and Pankin (has he done a podcast since?)

24. Ashes once chatted with Hillary Duff on AIM??>

25. ZW declared it was "Cracking Time" in Orlando before retiring like two weeks later

26. "Beef came from humble beginnings. His father, Bison, was a famous shoemaker from Mozambique. He was the only shoemaker in his village that wouldn’t kill you after he was finished. His mother, Sarah, was a great cook. Sarah never opened a restaurant, never even worked in one, but she was the best chef no one had ever heard of. How does a shoemaker from Mozambique and a cook that doesn’t leave her house end up meeting, let alone falling in love? That’s a story for another time (y’all aren’t ready for a “Weilheimer love story” yet). In short, Sarah ventured to Africa on a “self-healing journey” after reading the book, “Eat. Pray. Love.”, and to her delight, Sarah found the beefiest man in Africa and fell in love."

27. Beef was small as a child and Sarah knew all Beef needed was a little more beef. So, she began encouraging Beef to eat. Sarah would cook Beef everything from Beef Stroganoff to A.1.BBQ Sauced Beefloaf. “Eat, Eat, Eat.” That was Sarah’s favorite saying. She would sing it while she cooked, then her song turned to a hum. Beef took it as a green light to eat everything in sight. Sarah was thrilled to see her beefy child love her home-made meals, as she had only cooked for Bison. Little did Sarah know this would make her son sprout like a beanstalk. Lil Beef sprang from 5’2” in the 6th grade to a stouter 6’0” in 7th grade. By the time he began high school he was like cow – listed at 6’3” 220lbs at 14 years of age.

28. Tanoka Beard!

29. Remember when Bobby made a Slava Medvedenko highlight tape?



30. We never found out who won the mythological race war tournament, wtf

31. Steven has a bachelor's of science in journalism

32. Ashes needs to write more articles https://simleaguenirvana.proboards.com/ ... ayers-body

33. “The hottest Friend was Phoebe.” - Steven

34. "We should wash our dicks after we pee, rather than our hands. All our hands do is collect germs all day, our dicks take a shower and chill in boxers all day, protected from germs. Our hands aren’t the ones that just got dirty in the pee exchange, but our dicks did and should be washed.” - Tyler

35. “Real life Andrea Bargnani was just lazy white Kevin Durant.” - Joe

36. "Listen to your coaching tree Dads and dont trade all of your picks for Kenny Anderson." - Jordo

37. "LeBron will bring not one, not two, not three, not four, not six, but SEVEN SLN titles to the City of Brotherly Love." -DMo

38. "There was definitely NOT enough room for Jack on that board at the end of Titanic." - DMo

39. "Ringo was the hottest Beatle" - DMo

40. "CatDog both ate and shit with its mouth." -DMo

41. "Champagne Supernova is a better song than Wonderwall" - DMo

42. Don't look back in anger is better than both of those. I'm just saying that now for the record, try singing it at karaoke

43. "Larry Bird is the most talented player of all time" - Hoff

44. The hot takes thread I'm going through is 21 PAGES LONG!

45. "SLN is pretty similar to the Matrix... can't even imagine what my life would currently be like if I took the blue pill." - DMo

46. "Brother if I cant shove 6 of it in my mouth at once and chomp down freely like a crazed hippo, it is simply not a food worth eating" - Joe

47. The first trade in SLN history was: Sonics trade Patrick Ewing, Mugsy Bogues, 2000 and 2002 second round picks to the Suns for Mario Elie, Walter McCarty, Joe Dumars, Haywood Woorkman, Tom Chambers, the Suns 99, 00, 01, 02 1sts and 500 RPs

48. Suns Trade: Don Reid, Jon Barry; Hawks Trade: Joseph “Beef” Roberson

49. Remember the first four-team trade https://simleaguenirvana.proboards.com/ ... suns-76ers

50. Nobody wanted to go to the new boards

51. There was one pod where everyone thought Tyler was Nick but he wasn't

52. Nobody won the Ray Felton-Deron Williams debate

53. I stumbled onto the zero time SLN champion beef

54. late-career Ratko Varda got traded for late-career Ilgauskas

55. Remember Kosta Koufos

56. Tong has never set foot in the state of Indiana, true or false

57. People thought LeBron was bad

58. I got Clint to trade me a second round pick for Bjelica

59. I was convinced PJ Tucker was Robert Horry 2.0

60. Yao was clearly the best player in the league for some time

61. Nick will comment about Dirk after reading above

62. There was an NDL player named "LaDon DeBernardi"

63. +20 potential to Fotsis

64. +20 potential to Balkman

65. +20 potential to Bynum?

66. +20 potential to Channing Frye

67. Remember Cenk Akyol?

68. Ashes once said Ha Seung Jin had a lot of potential

69. All the Drake memes I used to post were a lot funnier two years ago

70. Wonder what Calvin and GrantfromCal are up to these days

71. The Orlando Magic select Gustavo Ayon

72. Jermaine O’Neal motorboated team dancers, known unaffectionately as THE SWAMPTHANGZ, as hard as he physically could until he contracted an eye infection or literally dislodged part of his retina.

73. Michael Dunkin Penberthy is a real person

74. Nick has threatened to rebuild like 23 times

75. Image

76. KD got benched as a rookie

77. Avu once did a trade block for Dion Glover

78. I was convinced Turkey Glue was gonna save us

79. Remember when DMo blocked LeBron just to beat everyone to signing leftover FAs?

80. The Nets have never beaten the Raptors in a series @SWAMP STEVEN

81. Steven- Gardner Minshew
The Swamp Dragon breathes fire, steals yo girl, will throw 2 picks, but somehow win the game and look fucking awesome doing it while also giving a cool/hilarious post game presser. You tend to remember only the cool impressions of him and forget some of the more regrettable choices he might tend to make/not make from time to time. He’s still pretty new to the league and you’re pretty sure he’s not reached his final form yet, and even if he never realizes his full cockdiesel potential, you know you are going to enjoy witnessing the journey.

82. Andrew Bynum's supercamp was +10 Inside, +8 Post D, +8 Strength

83. PenGirthy had +10 left in camps and 100 potential

84. Dallas Mavericks -- HOFF

Jinx gets around and trades with everyone - Jinx is famously slutty. His favorite move is Confusion

85. Orlando Magic - Sexxy Red
Brand new to the scene, but offering some fantastic and unhinged energy that has caught everyone's attention. This is the best time to announce that Chad is with child, pregnant as the day is long and the red is sexxy. What?

86. DMorrel - Hodor
“HONOMATTOLA! HONOMATTOLA! HANOMATOLA!” he screams as he protects his loved ones from cap hell. The wild card in the Atlantic, DMo is a treasure in this league.

A quote to make you think:
“Hodor.”

87. We thought Damon Stoudamire was going to be good

88. MLEs used to cost money to extend

89. Remember Benjamin Jeannette

90. Remember Todd Day

91. Remember Brian Skinner

92. Remember Don Reid

93. Why the fuck did we put Robert Parish as an honorary hall of famer?

94. Nick should bring back the Lindsey Hunter razzie award

95. I wish the NBA would treat the All-Star game like we used to treat GMOTY

96. I miss getting freebies every random holiday @ashes

97. The lockout was hilarious

98. There was once a team of two guys who GMed the Mavs for like 72 hours

99. We should start inviting old GMs back for the bit

100. Remember when everyone hated the new boards?
free healthcare has never been more important
