Red-D-Rail Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Copied this from an ebay auction I saw a couple of years ago: Attention all dysfunctional Husker fans this is your opportunity to join a community of likeminded internet misfits. Up for auction today is one mint condition HuskerPedia Card. It was hardly used, low mileage, and only driven to church on Sundays. With access to the BBS, you could enjoy many hours of posting enlightening things like “Callahan is Satan”. Membership in such a community comes with other incredible benefits. These benefits include but are not limited to: * $2.00 off any ice cream cake at the Dairy Queen in North Platte, Nebraska. * $0.05 off per gallon of gas at the Sapp Bros Truck Stop in Columbus, NE. * Buy one dinner and the get the second one at half price (up to a $14.99 value) at Uncle Earnie's Riverside Inn in Plattsmouth, NE As if that were not enough, you could attempt to receive discounts at many nation wide hotel chains and car rental companies. Please be advised you should be prepared for the possibility of rejection when making such an attempt. Also be advised that the aforementioned rejection is typically accompanied by a blank stare from the person you are talking to as they consider odds that you may have recently escaped from a mental institution. Yet the benefits do not stop there. Owner ship of such a card will allow you access to exclusive tailgate parties attended by virtually dozens (by dozens I mean 13 to17) likeminded lunatics cleverly disguised as husker fans. Note: The user name and password for BBS posting privileges on the account under this card have been suspended for attempting to interject humor into a community that has no capacity to understand it. I have decided that I no longer want to be part of this community. I have found my initial investment of $22.95 was a very poor decision. This auction is an attempt to recover as much of my investment as possible. Rest assured that any funds recovered as a result of this auction will be promptly re-invested in beer.

teachercd Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Pedia has tons of "chip on shoulder" guys but I think thats because they fought so hard with the other "chip on shoulder" guys at BRB. Pedia has good info but the posts get kind of long winded and tiresome after the first few. Quote Link to comment

"rest assured that any funds recovered as a result of this auction will be promptly re-invested in beer." lol thats the best part of the entire speel in my opinion, funny stuff, ya i wouldnt really want to pay to be able to post on a message board, the free ones are the best anyway, especially this one Quote Link to comment
1HuskerDad Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 HuskerPedia is a FOR PROFIT venture. There were many who were turned off by the Solich/Callahan bickering by the "annointed" posters over there. Around that time, a nice number of free boards started popping up. It's amazing to me how many "posters" pay $22.95 per year to post less than a dozen times.....it's like they never discovered "google" to find better message boards. Quote Link to comment
macroboy Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I always hit Huskerpedia to look for new news and then come here and see what people are saying. I'm really just posting in this thread cause I want to see my new avatar. Quote Link to comment
