What exactly does the "retired" mean? Are you not going to post any more?

Welcome back.

Still going to have Rickey in your sigs?

Randman · Aug 25, 2004, 10:16 AM

Awesome photoshop work.

Now BBX will claim it was idea to retire first but everyone copied it. And Zimphire will say that all this adulation is just the rest of us "mortals" being fanboys.

Then Tooki will come in and ban your @$$ for violating the image guidelines.

soul searching · Aug 25, 2004, 10:17 AM

The few, the proud, the 10K posts club! Congrats dude.

(I see one my sigs too).

Even Superman doesn't have the most stolen bases in MLB history...

There was a thread from not too long ago where some of us including gorickey and MacGorilla mentioned that we would like to retire our current usernames when a certain post number is reached.

I personally plan to retire this username before or around 1K posts.

dodo_nutter · Aug 25, 2004, 10:38 AM

I wana retire at 10K but at the rate i post i'll be 60 when that happens.

Oh well. Nice one goricky, 10,000 posts is scarily impressive.

So how does re-birth feel??

An Athletics supporter, of course.

ironknee · Aug 25, 2004, 02:37 PM

gorickey plays for the athletics?

oh go gorickey!

Randman · Aug 25, 2004, 03:42 PM

OK, my last suggestion on the matter. Drop manofsteal and switch over to...

gorichie!!!

And people can ask about your obsession with the 80s singer and former Commodores frontman.

Save the rest of us time remembering ya as well.

Think it over.

Yep, that looks like my tag.

Congratulations, gorickey on your 10,000 posts...not just because you racked up a big number, but because you did it without acting like an ass. Nicely done.

He used to play for the A's...on (4) separate occasions; however, he is the A's All-Time Franchise Player...
