Constructing "that guy" on boards

What makes up "that guy" on message boards? You know, the guy who really does not want to discuss the topic of the actual forum they are in like "Iowa Basketball". Instead they spend their time creating obscure posts about unrelated topics, going to great lengths to search the Internet for pictures of Sponge Bob, Hollywood stars, or other irrelevant images to (apparently) clown others or prove how smart they are.

Here are a few of my thoughts:

1) Despite being over 25, they still sport professional sports jerseys for all seasons.

2) Refer to Iowa players and coaches as their crew. F-Mac, Z, Gator, Josh.0, etc. Everyone must have a nickname--no exceptions.

3) Sport (fill in the blank) cool tatt on their bicep, yet only do 12 ounce curls.

4) Have more avatars than actual friends.

5) Use call waiting only to sit on hold for Jim Rome and the DP Show.

6) Use dbag in casual conversation over dinner.

7) Claim to have been some D-1 player, coach, referee in the past, thus trumping anyone else's opinion on issues large and small.

I fully admit to hypocrisy for this one post and assure you I will not stray from topic again. For those that enrich the forum with their opinions, information, links and spirited debate on issues, and to Jon for managing the forum....thank you.

Has anyone ever been to an Ohio St game at the horeshoe? I went to the Iowa game there about 4-5-6 years ago and they have more fans wearing ill-fitting jerseys than I've ever seen. What is the fascination with sporting another man's name on your back?

Actually, my DII playing experience does trump at least your opinions on all issues large and small.
 
I know you posted this because of the Aaron white thread and basically all you described was a real tool. Just because you didn't agree with some people on here having a little fun doesn't make us how you described. Some like me for instance literally fit none of those categories.
 
Dumbest thread ever. This board would be boring without some of these comical threads. Don't like them, don't read them or ignore the posters you are describing here.

Hes just mad about the constructing Aaron white thread and felt his anger deserved a new thread. If he says anything else hes lying.
 
Classic. Like bugs to a porch light in July.....all the celebs with their bedazzled responses. What an all star cast.

Hey SEC 136, this is at least the 20th time Ive seen you call a thread "dumbest ever". Do you have any original ideas?
