re: The Workplace Bragger- "One Upper Edition"

Not a co-worker, but a neighbor back in the early 80s in Lafayette. Claimed he pitched three years for the Braves and was traded to the Dodgers, but threw out his shoulder before he could ever pitch for them. I used to watch the Braves almost every night on WTBS and never remembered him. He was helping coach my son's baseball team (14 and 15 year olds), and didn't know how to position the pitcher on a ball hit to the outfield with men on base. The guy had obviously never even played high school ball.

Had an acquaintance in college who claimed he would put a case of natty light down in the first couple of hours before each LSU game and then switch to whiskey. After a fifth of Jack he's just now getting buzzed. Guy was about 130 lbs soaking wet.

Also said the first time he ever smoked weed he smoked an eighth by himself.

CSB, I accidentally fat fingered the downvote arrow. My apologies.....

No worries. It is a coincidence that I was just thinking about downvotes. The "Check his knuckles" thread is my record.

After about ten pages of beating up on HT, I suggested that maybe it was enough. I got a few hundred downvotes from the "Kick a brother when he is down" crowd.

It was an awesome thread.

Had a lady tell me once that her husband ran marathons to "warm up" for his 100 mile runs and that he also ran Pike's Peak.

I had an architect co-worker that the contractors called the million year old man. They said he would have to be a million years old to do all the things he said he had done!??

most recently had a young fella told me he used to throw a 103 mph fastball in high school

Which OT baller is this?

I knew a fair amount of lurkers and a few posters, and I think yall scared them too much to say anything. The few that did got chastised or called my alters, and quit the thread. Had to go it alone for like 100 pages

I'm still rocking and rolling, and will continue to provide pics when I can. With Rag and Paige not posting, it just isn't as fun to prove people wrong. The OT is a shell of its former self.


Other than the kid complaining about his gf that left his photobucket open, I don't think there has been anything high quality lately. Maybe I'm forgetting though

Not a 103, but a guy who would have graduated from plaquemine high in 04 had a high 90s.

Got his girlfriend pregnant and dropped out.

Not saying your guy did, but squandered talent is out there.
