Is he packing it in? I thought I heard on the radio coming in this morning that GameDay Iowa is having a store closing sale.
Yeah I feel like I've came in from left field during the filming of Field of Dreams and don't know what's what. We need Paul Harvey to tell us the rest of the storyWhat in the goddamn hell is this?
What’s goin on here?

What is going on here is a demonstration of why Millennial punks shouldn't be allowed to moderate fora such as this. GameDayRon, or GDR as he was known to his friends, was a mainstay on HawkeyeNation dating all the way back to the Scout days.
Ron created a revolutionary shaving system that big razor wanted suppressed. He had a proprietary oil blend that would extend the life of razors. Gillette was scared shitless of the guy because if people used his system, called Revolt LL225 (IIRC), a man could have shaved every day for five years with just one razor. You see, what causes a blade to degrade is the water it is rinsed out with. It makes the blade rust and wear out.
Revolt would have changed the world, as it was even considered by the military because it would have allowed shaving with NO WATER in remote locations in the desert. You can only surmise how bad big razor wanted this guy shut down.
There were many naysayers on the board about the efficacy of the product. To silence them, GDR sent one poster, I believe it was CPOHawkeye, a nuclear submarine operator from the Navy who still posts from time to time on the Wasteland, a free sample of Revolt. CPO's review was basically "I'm pretty sure this product is just off-brand baby oil repackaged in GDR's bottle." It went over like a fart in church on Easter Sunday. GDR called him out, got dogpiled and quit posting.
