I swear I'm starting to think that I'm the only one here who understands futureman. I guess I'm used to going over people's heads the way that he does.

He can be funny from time to time if you get his shtick.

Thank you for the kind words and yes I’m very small in stature and dick size. I’m surly 1% in that regard. I think I’ve brought this up before, we really need to have a yearly surly meet up. It would be interesting to see how many of y’all are bad motherfuckers in person. I’m in the DFW area out by the airport. I know lando and I are suppose to get together at some point. I’ll extend that invite to any of you who want to meet.

So, as I struggle to digest the events of the last couple days like Aaron Franklin trying to keep down a John Cornyn holiday brisket, I'm left thinking about what it is that I've learned through  obsessively monitoring to a point of psychotic episodes  investing an unhealthy amount of my life on the Urban or Bust thread.  While the lessons learned are many and the knowledge gained considerable I thought it useful to summarize the most significant and transformative among them in the following notes.  I think of this as an essential compendium to All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten.

If Surly is a sporting underworld; a depraved, alcohol fueled, drug addled, sexually deviant underworld at that (no ifs about it), then @closetojumping is our Godfather, sitting in an oversized chair, legs crossed, arms on the armrests, sternly watching over our activity.  Occasionally granting us brief treasured audiences to dispense a modicum of his knowledge of confidential dealings on a need to know basis, or a needed slap and admonishment to act like a man when we uncontrollably panic and whine over some non-event.  It's all fun and games until someone learns a little too much for their own good and gets the dreaded "see your PMs" directive.  I'm sure CTJ's consigliere, @SydneyCarton, would try to reassure us all that it's not personal, it's strictly business.  I have no doubt that Urban would be ours if the UT admin had put it in CTJ's hands so he could have made Urban "an offer he couldn't refuse".  By the way, am I the only one who hears Robert De Niro's voice in their head when reading CTJ's posts?

Which brings us to @derpyhorndog.  I can only assume this guy is either a CIA data analyst or a frustrated wanna-be air traffic controller.  An enthusiastic worker with a keen eye for details, he's that poor soul who stumbles into illicit information he shouldn't have found and next thing he knows he's waking up with the severed propeller of his favorite plane in bed with him, followed by an extended disappearance only to finally reappear mumbling something about being busy with some "contract" work.

@Nicole44 is one of those rare good-hearted souls that thankfully for us hasn't recognized that a girl like her shouldn't be in a place like this.  She was without question a campus hottie back in her time and has provided much appreciated evidence that she is still a head turner.  With infectious enthusiasm (we'll assume it's the only infectious aspect of her) she can be counted on to come hard with BDE every time she posts, and has posted enough pics to have also caused considerable hard BDE.  One side note; if any of you bear the slightest resemblance to Panhandle fauna you are advised to avoid Nicole's family at all costs or risk your head being stuffed and mounted on the wall of her family's cabin, assuming they can find a few available square inches.

I am convinced that true to his avatar @Hagbard Celine is an alien life form, though of the Vogon race.  Either that or a public servant/government bureaucrat.  Never mind that your family has experienced catastrophe, the world is about to be destroyed, or you want to post some secondhand coaching information, Hagbard will have none of that unless all the t's are crossed, i's dotted, three forms of picture ID are presented, and all forms are signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public inquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters.  And for God's sake, whatever you do, don't let him read poetry to you.

What can I say about @futureman?  I could say nothing since like a lot of other posters here I have him on ignore, but unfortunately enough of you other fuckers quote this moron that he can't be totally avoided.  Given that he appears to have contributed nothing positive to Surly throughout his tenure and is nothing but an insufferable worthless troll, it's beyond comprehension how he has achieved so much rep as to be far beyond crowdsourcing.  I can only assume that in past threads of excitement and happiness that he received collateral pos rep without thought to the consequences.  In that regard the best analogy for Futureman seems to be the STD that was the unintended consequence of a brief indiscretion that we are forced to live with as it periodically flares up at the most inopportune times in order to deprive us of small measures of joy.  It's also possible in my opinion that he is just a sooner troll, but that's redundant with the STD so no further discussion needed on that.

Have you ever been in paradise trying to enjoy thoughts of all the wonderful things around you but there's a damn horsefly buzzing around you that won't go away and keeps dragging you back to the reality that there is no paradise and your life actually sucks?  That's @Errestaurants.  A seemingly miserable curmudgeon who has no intention of allowing you to avoid sharing in his cheerlessness.  In fairness though I can't completely hold it against him as I attribute much of his wretchedness to the likely abuse the poor little guy may have received in life given his diminutive stature.

Without question one of the stars of the Urban or Bust quest was @RGBIII.  When it comes to meat he is the man we all would like to be (no, I don't mean that meat).  This guy apparently smokes and consumes an entire brisket every single day of his life.  I have an image of him heading for bed each night deep in a state of meat sweats, frantically toweling himself off like Fatterson on the sideline of a mid afternoon early September game in Houston.  Despite that, where RGB will live on in infamy is as the spark that caused the conflagration of the great boot toe debate of 2020.  Can you call yourself a man in square toed boots?  The debate will rage on, left for future generations to resolve.  Oh, but if you need someone to shamelessly tweet at married women expressing his desire to share his meat with them (NO, NOT THAT MEAT.  get your mind out of the gutter), then he's your guy.

God bless that poor long suffering soul that is @immamac.  He's like a creative wizard (that's a nice way of saying an unkempt, long haired, unshowered slacker) who creates a glorious high tech living space for like minded spirits.  Unfortunately he made the catastrophic mistake of taking in a couple of stray cats and now he finds his wondrous creation infested with feral felines, shitting on his servers, coughing up furballs on his keyboard, and peeing in the corners.  He now wanders this space in the futile endeavor of cat herding, fingers sticky from old McRib sauce, muttering to himself about how to monetize the piles of poop filled cat litter that the residents leave for him.

@troph brought a different kind of energy to the Urban or Bust thread.  She made clear that she was unable to provide the BDE that was being demanded, but instead more than made up for it by introducing us to BVE and brought plenty of it.  She also encouraged us to open our minds and our anuses to new, exciting, and according to her, enjoyable experiences.  Her rallying cry actually proved to be prophetic as when it was all said and done it felt like we had all been fucked in the ass by everyone from Urban, to the UT admin, to the "insiders".  This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass, Larry troph.  You get Sark After Dark instead of Urban.  I can't agree with troph about the enjoyment, but it's become par for the course with our coaching searches so we must at least be getting used to it.

And then there's a truly worthless poster, @nunna yo bizness.  This guy contributes nothing worthwhile as he has no sources for information, brings no unique insight, and has no redeeming pictures of brisket or ex-girlfriend's tits.  Hell, the guy can't even imbed tweets in a post.  I'll be shocked if he ever posts anything of note on Surly.  I suppose I should cut him some slack as I have been told by the voices in my head a reliable source  that he has some condition called Multiple Personality Disorder, whatever the fuck that is.  I'll probably never meet him, but if I did the one bit of advice I would pass along is to stop believing in tweets from squids and hip-hop basketball players, and trust in the administration to carry out the process of a coaching search (yeah, I can't keep a straight face on that last part either).

My final learning from this whole episode is that I will now take great joy going forward in any football related misery that comes Urban's way.  Whether it be a stress filled failed attempt at the NFL, having him watch our new coach take what could have been his team to the playoffs over the next few years (fuck off, I can dream if I want), or simply watching his coach worthy years and opportunities slip away while his legacy fades in the success of other coaches.  Yeah, I'm a petty bastard.

As for whether our new coach will bring us glory or misery, time will tell.  Is he a rehabbed diamond in the rough who will take us to glory in short order, or will we find him pressing his butt cheeks to the mirror making us look at them, somehow?

Solid. My only retort would be that if you think @Errestaurants is a miserable little curmudgeon,  you definitely do not spend any time in the food and travel forum. He has some of the biggest dick energy posts on this site.

I love getting caught up in the excitement that is that and other coaching search threads.  But in the end, I am reminded to readopt my "we'll see" approach, which never is wrong but also isn't nearly as fun.

But show me one flightaware link and I'll jump back in hook, line, and sinker.

Somebody referred to that thread a while back as Nicki & the Legion of Thirst. A much more concise synopsis.

Lol. If I got anyone hot and bothered I will settle for that. Just kidding. It was a great thread. Everything I liked about surly and some other weird shit. Y’all are pretty cool.

My shorter version: no one knew shit about who our next coach would be and Surly has varying tastes in food, condiments, towns, beaches, music, and firearms. The first 400 pages were entertaining as hell, Nicole didn't show us her boobs, and Futureman didn't fist himself.

It was amazing to see the mental gymnastics people were doing to convince themselves that Meyer was coming, ignoring the clear evidence to the contrary. Even yesterday morning several posters were claiming that Sark rumors were some kind of negotiation ploy aimed at Meyer. The whole thing was a great study in delusion & wishful thinking.

It was all in jest and no offense intended.  Coaching searches can bring out the worst in us, myself included.  I also greatly enjoy food and travel discussion so I'll have to explore those posts.  I'm sure we probably share a lot more interests than not.

Honored to have made the list and am not going to refute anything in that wall of compliments.

Had a blast in that thread and simultaneously love and hate all of you degenerates. Now to change my avatar to Sark fucking OU.
