I remember when you started posting at CL and it wasn't very long after TheRealDeal left or was booted. I was like, "oh crap, he's back." And then you didn't post anything like him, so I knew it was you Rooscooter.
Ah man we have known eachother for a long damn time now. I started posting I think summer 2006 when there were rumors of a Ron Artest to the Lakers trade. That's over 10 years I've been talking Lakers with a bunch of you here, that's nuts. And real, you're not cheating on us with LakerNation right? That's the other dude, right? Mr. "Kirk Hinrich sucks, I beat him one on one". I honestly forgot that site even existed years ago.
At least it was the Ron Artest rumors that got you to CL. F****** Kwaamaaay Brown rumors dumped me into CL a year earlier while searching for information.
I was looking for any Laker news after moving from CA to TX, and would go from online newspaper to online newspaper until finding CL. It was like hitting a homerun! All the news I was looking for and fan insight. Along, of course, with alleged insider info. I liked it so much all of my split personalities logged in at various times to participate. Ahhhh the memories.
I say this with complete and utter honesty: I don't go to any other Laker fan sites ever. I went looking for one 10 years ago or so during the good year after all the bad years and I bounced around a bit before settling on CL and I never looked back. I used to lurk over on LN, but I hated it so I left. CL and then LB are the only places I post. That probably explains why I have a post count that qualifies as "obsessed".
Did I mix up real deals? At the other site, the other real deal is a good poster, not a troll, knowledgeable guy. So it was a compliment. Moving on.
I'm 100% not insulted whatsoever! There is another Real Deal out there who is a great contributor, but I am a different realdeal. I accept your compliment (thank you very much!) and welcome to the site. I was just having a little fun that's all. I look forward to getting to know you better.
Yes, 2 different people. The other was with many of us at another site. It's all good. We knew you meant it as a compliment. Welcome aboard and we hope you enjoy our humble abode.
