[quote=Angry;562010]My name used to be angryssg. The ssg used to stand for Staff Sergeant. I have since given up that title, because I am no longer enlisted and because I would get confused when people would make comments towards Sherrif Gonna Getcha (SGG).

As far as the Angry goes...I am not really angry, people just always mistake my demeanor for someone who is constantly pissed off (online and in person) even my wife gets confused. Its a label that I will never get rid of.[/quote]

[quote=Dirtbag359;561954]I had a vision one night and a voice said to me....[I]"thou shalt discuss the Redskins."[/I] I awoke and found myself a gazed. I inquired unto who's voice and asked thee[I] "is thou voice Lord Gibbs?"[/I] the voice responded [I]"Thou is super-smart"[/I]. And I said [I]"but Lord Gibbs, I am not worthy of discussing the Redskins online as the ability to be a jerk thanks to internet autonomy is an honor which with I am not worthy[/I]." And the voice said [I]"thy name is not worthy but thy soul is and thou shalt be called Dirtbag, and your post shall be fruitful and multiply 359 times hence forth." [/I]

Afterwords I swore I would never do drugs again, so I used the Warpath as a means to help distract me while I quit.

Anyway in all seriousness I was a tweener in high school, going back and fourth from linebacker to DL/OL. By the time my senior year of high school came around I developed a respect for the importance of play in the trenches and by the time I registered for the forum in 2006 the OL was nicknamed the dirtbags by Buges so I figured that was as good of a place as any to start. Also I was number 59 in high school but for some reason my emails and SN's always had a 359 at the end (I think I stole the "idea" from my younger brother). And so Dirtbag359 was born.

I still think it's kind of funny though how sometimes people will refer to me as DB, as theres a part of my brain wired to interpert that as douchebag upon first look but it's only for less then a second :D

As to how I came on the site, well I had been on a few fitness forums and figured it'd be nice to get in contact with Redskin fans for a change so I searched for a redskin forum on Yahoo and some how I had the good fortune of ending up here instead of ES.[/quote]
Impressive, most impressive. This one had me all kinds of cracking up.

[quote=ArtMonkDrillz;561882]When I was a kid I went to Art Monk Football Camp twice, the summers before and after the last Super Bowl.

I can't really remember what exactly it involved, but there wasn't much to it besides slapping your own pads and yelling.

I think that by you going to that last camp as a kid has cursed our beloved Skins to suckdom. I probably echo the sentiments of everyone here, and with that said I would gladly pay for you to go back to Art Monks' camp and reverse this terrible dry spell that we have been in as fans.[IMG]http://www.thewarpath.net/images/icons/icon7.gif[/IMG]

For a second there I thought that maybe we had gone at the same time but the time frame is a good 6 years off :D Anyway I put in two years myself. Definitely an awesome experience. Not only do you get to play more football then you would otherwise but you also get to meet the players as well. During my time I saw Doug Brown, Stephen Davis, Edwin Muliatno, and obviously Art Monk. I also learned that a Super Bowl ring weighs about as much as 32 pennies, a bit of knowledge I attribute to Muliatno. Also one of the coolest parts is getting 'coached up' by the players that show up for a session.

Which college did you attend? I went to George Mason and the school where the Ravens held their training camp during the Billick era (which was a bitch because we didn't have AC in the dorms).

Re: What is the meaning of your screen name?
 

trifle was taken on aim and a couple other websites so I just decided to respell it, sounded kinda german so I don't know, just a play on that.. I was trifle on several websites for years though but now I'm not sure if I could switch back

trifle = something not to be taken seriously

I joke around a lot so that's mostly what it's about

I actually selected it by flipping through a dictionary with my eyes closed and putting my finger down on a word and got "trifle" and then decided to give it another try and pick between the two.. well there was some international section in the dictionary and my finger landed on something (don't recall) that listed trifle, I don't recall if it was a definition, translation, or what really.. just knew that with my personality and hitting the word twice it was meant to be

this was circa 1999

My little brother went to Art Monk Football Camp when he was around 9 or 10 years old. He was showing out big time at the camp apparently, but he ended up catching an elbow or shoulder to the face and broke his nose really badly. He was crying and bleeding everywhere, and Art actually carried him off the field to the infirmary. I was so jealous when I heard the story. I was 13 or 14 at the time (around 1991-1992), and Art was my favorite Redskin next to Darrel Green and Charles Mann. Funny thing is, my bro could care less about the Redskins, so he didn't think anything of it. He's a freakish athlete- he was a sponsored snowboarder for a while, and he was on the 16 and under US team for soccer. He played football for a few Maplewood (kind of like Pop Warner in the DC area) teams and in high school for a few years, and was the best receiver anywhere he went. Now he's a buddhist and a photographer in NYC. Go figure. If I had his athleticism I'd probably be wearing the burgundy and gold.

Just for the sake of rubbing it in the guy (Art Monk) just walks around most of the time like a normal guy. In other words he's very accessible when you go to the camp, at least in between practices. Now that I think about it I don't think I ever saw him during practice, only in the gyms and cafeteria in between.

The story behind my 'Internet' moniker is a little more interesting...

It goes back to the early days of Hotmail...

When I went to Sign up for Hotmail, everything related to my name was already taken so I decided to try to use my Initials and my Birth Year, and it worked, so I went with it.

Awhile back I used to see GMScud lurking as well. I'd say it was sometime this year. I don't know if he still does. Last I heard he was going through some family issues.

Wherever he is, I hope things panned out for him, he was a good guy.
