    Yeah, sippah cup was a classic. I just remembered Caller of the Day, chronicling all those crazy phone calls I'd get in the Buttmont newsroom. Ju Day. ken8080. 

    Cotd was great, as was Ju-day!!  Posted that awful pic of herself, and then "supposedly" got killed by a window air conditioner falling on her haid!!  🤣  Also GiantsFan claims of heroism on 911 and the GFIAP moniker!

    So sad.  I was in a couple leagues with him and remember talking to him once or twice on the phone.  Great guy.

     

    And Rusty, thanks for bringing up all those memories!   Also "Sipppah Cup", "Guess what NFL Player I Am", "Mookie's uncle and the gallon of milk challenge".....and all the flame wars between Meph, Megla, Torrid, posty, Rusty, stick, Gutter, etc.   😆

    Doesn't matter if you are fundie Christian or a fundie Muslim, Fundies Are intellectually Stupid.

    This is a very broad statement wiffleball. I consider myself a fundie Christian but by no means intellectually stupid.

     

    I agree that certain "religions" tend to be of less than average intelligence when it comes to matters of politics, I call that the "sheep following the shepherd" rule. The leader makes his stance known, the "flock" trusts said leader and believes whatever he says without researching and making their own decisions.

    - What you are known for at the Geek Club

    Sippah Cup

     

     

    - Favorite moment in Geek Club history

    Couple come to mind: the great steak debate, Guess which NFL player I am, Curly Board Jihad....but mine would have to be the 911 thread. While the events of that tragic day were unfolding, it was great to see every one here put aside all their petty differences and show genuine concern for other posters living in the NYC/DC area.

     

     

    - Reason you left

    my work blocked all websites having to do with Fantasy Football. I snuck into the sanctuary because of some Fantasy Football League draft being over there and have been hanging around since then.

     

     

    -Favorite story about another Geek Club member

    • Ju-day having a window AC unit falling on her head was tragically funny.
    • Cyric appearing on everything from a slice of toast, to a burrito, a prosciutto, etc.
    • Swerski thumbs up.

    While all those above were classic, I would have to say my favorite was Mookie and his stories. Like his uncle (?) trying to drink a gallon of milk within a minute.

     

     

    - Most important piece of wisdom to impart to the new Geek Club members

    • It's a message board filled with thousands of people with thousands of different opinions. Just because someone doesn't agree with you does not make them wrong.
    • There is a lot of wisdom and knowledge here, but by the same token there is a lot of BS to wade through to find it!
    • If you offend easily, then this is probably not the place for you.

    Peace

    I don't have kids, but If we did, I'd make then at least look at the military route. Worked well for me and my brothers, except for my oldest brother getting blown up a few times, all in all, it was good.

    Same here. GI Bill paid for my degree. I'm pushing my son to go that route as well, except for the blowing up thing.........

    Now here's an adult topic for the Geek Club: what is/was your plan as far as college savings for the kiddos?

     

    It seems the main options are a 529 savings plan, which is basically like an IRA but for college? Then my state has a prepaid tuition plan that seems pretty good - lots of flexibility to use tuition credits at schools in other states or private schools, for example.

     

    So how about it geeks - what college savings vehicle did you pick and how did/has it panned out?

    Did the state prepaid tuition plan when my son was born (2000). The younger they are, the cheaper it is to get this started. I think I ended up paying around $6500 total, but he is guaranteed 4 years worth of tuition to any school within the state when he turns 18. Liked the flexibility (transfer it to another family member, cash it out with interest, use it for other college expenses if son gets scholarship). Plus, if he decides to go to an out of state school, they will pay whatever the highest tuition is in the state towards the out of state tuition. He's 14, so don't know how it's gonna pan out yet.
