I'm going to apologize for bumping this, but damn. This is INSANE. Shame because Roo was a really knowledgeable guy and like others I too spoke to him personally about things, he gave great advice and knew his stuff. Wish he would have just joined the community instead of doing this...
What. The. F*** did I just read? This is one of the most bizarre things I've ever read. I mean, I didn't know Rooscooter that much, but at least I did know him from clublakers. I was never on of those with a whole lot of posts, but I did post from time to time and read the forums for quite some time. And even if I can't say I knew him that much, I did exchange a couple of posts with him here and there... so yeah, first reading he died was kinda shocking, but then I kept going through this whole thread, and when Barnstable announced it was fake and that Bonk was actually Rooscooter I was just like "SERIOUSLY?", my face had that expression I'm sure... and I'm usually not very expressive... I mean... WTF. I even remember that post in clublakers... Man, that's messed up. I apologize for bumping this, but it's one of the most weird stuff I've read in a long time. How could I miss this thread until now.
You can be anyone you want on the internet. Roo chose to be reincarnated. For all his faults, at least he's not unoriginal.
Honestly I like when this gets bumped. It provides so much perspective on how good my life is (not pretending to be people on the internet because my life is good) and more importantly how great this site is. Barns put together an awesome place for us all to hang out and talk Lakers. A place where even this weirdo couldn't resist coming back to life so he could hang with us some more.
I don't mind this thread getting bumped at all. We've had so little drama and problems since we opened Lakersball that this thread just produces a chuckle.
(probably my favorite twist ending ever, BTW) Obviously there never was a "bonk", but I never stopped to think if there ever was a "rooscooter". I wonder if he was some nerdy white basement keyboard warrior who made up everything about rooscooter too?
That's what I said. It's not that doing all the stuff he said he did was impossible (architect, lawyer, architectural advising, teaching at colleges, working in South America with his business etc), but if you're willing to pose as your own cousin after faking your own death, where should we believe the lies ended and where did they begin?
That weirdo Rooscooter Was sitting behind the computer Concocting crazy stories About his business glories But sure enough Someone called his bluff Finally had to play rough But thankfully didn't blame sirronstuff
Dude, I'm sorry for this. You're one of the most entertaining posters in CL/LB history, but I have such an insane level of skepticism/paranoia about you. I kinda would have mad respect if it turned out that YOU were Roos all along.
Conspiracy theory: In fact, Barnstable is Rooscooter. They didn't get along in clublakers? Well, that was actually Rooscooter arguing with himself. He actually created this website, and every single mod and daily user is actually Rooscooter on a fake account! Scary.
Great movie and definitely agree, one of the best twist endings. Edward Norton's performance in that role......so underrated
Run a background check on this guy please. Everyone can name himself SOAD and pretend to be cool This might be bonk 2.0
