Lucky 13!
You can bet he has the typical ‘large family’ who bought most of the jersey’s .
He probably does have a large supportive family, unlike you who has to make up “friends” to agree with your posts and then invent other new personalities like “surprise guest”.
Do us all a favor, go seek therapy for your disorder. You’ve gone beyond bizzaro now and maybe someone needs to examine your ip address – which registers each time you post – to get you professional help.
Maybe you need the therapy MGW as you continue to think you are talking to multiple people.
Alcohol and the BSR do not mix MGW.
Trust me. I know who I’m talking to. It’s 2013 buddy, too easy to get information.
Check out the above post ip (Maybe you etc.) , it’s not who you think , I don’t know who it is ? You are wrong my friend .
If you really check things out , you will find several people are posting under ‘surprise guest’ .
This is surprise guest or I could be Sybil, maybe I’m MGW today. Tomorrow I may be Jimmy Dundalk or I can bust on someone and be The Intimidator. Maybe I’ll write an article and be Jabby Burns. I could be 9inchnails but I’m more like 2inchnails. One day I want to be Pole and write about the Packers.
LMAO
Yes.I agree your opinion,thanks for your sharing.
