  • Hi. It's Bastage.

    How did you find CUF?

    I’m a friend of Rtfldbtng9th who joined via MarkGrace.


    What do you like about CUF?

    I love the wide range of topics, especially the music talk.

    Also, HuskyFreeNorthwest’s picture. It makes me feel like I should do some genealogy. Talk about your spirit of Elijah.


    What don't you like about CUF?

    Nothing yet. Other than the fact it took me two weeks to figure out what CUF stands for.

    Not my brightest moment.


    How did you choose your moniker?

    Johnny Dangerously. I loved that movie. [nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GVCgTFw2Qk"]YouTube- Moroneys best bits (Johnny Dangerously)[/nomedia]

    Who knew Moronie would eventually get a late night show on ABC.


    What do you do (other than read CUF)?

    I work in the risk department for a company that handles credit card processing. It’s as exciting as it sounds. Now you know why I like CUF.

    According to Brother Brigham, I’m a menace to society. I turn 30 at the end of April. I share my birthday with Saddam Hussein. We don’t have much in common except our love of mustaches and Doritos.

    He’d eat a family size bag of Doritos in 10 minutes.
    Outside of sports, history is my passion. Graduated in it from the BYU, and I haven’t read a fiction book since. I love all historical books, especially biographies. I’ll read anything about Massasoit, Stalin, Oswald, Washington, Lewis and Clark, Wyatt Earp, Bill Cody, the Pine Ridge standoff, WWII, JFK assassination, the Gulag, anything to do with Native Americans, civil rights, TR, Napoleon, Nixon, John Brown, Jim Thorpe, Ty Cobb, Kit Carson.

    Right now I’m pretty much obsessed with fantasy baseball. How is Adam Lind going so low in drafts when in 2009 he hit .305 with 35 HR and 115 RBI?



    What are your sports loyalties?

    BYU – Two of my earliest memories: My dad telling me when I was 4 that BYU beat Pittsburgh. He said it was a big deal. The other one is my grandpa always telling me to never leave early from a BYU football game. He was at the Miracle Bowl, but left with about 5 minutes to go.

    Jazz – My grandpa (same one) is a ticket taker for the Jazz. He used to sneak me into Jazz games back in the Salt Palace days. And my faith was shaken when I found out John Stockton wasn’t Mormon. I was bummed for an entire month. Not a good way to start 2010.

    Patriots – Look at that logo. How can you not like that--especially when you’re a kid who was infatuated with history.

    Red Sox – I’m a huge Sam Malone fan.


    What's your standing in the church?

    Active, calling in the EQ.


    Do you pee in the sink?

    Only when the house plants aren’t thirsty.


    When your kids get older, will you do drugs with them in order to teach them a responsible approach to drugs?

    Oh gosh no.

    Are you looking forward to Wuap's welcome question and what do you think it will be?

    Another Ellis Island post said it should be Art Vandelay asking the question. I’m not getting in the middle of that one. But I love questions. Hopefully it’s about bacon.


    Why are you so creepy? How long have you been lurking?

    I’ve been lurking for a few months. The creepy question is kind of obvious if you see me in person. My head is so big I can change the axis of the Earth when I swirl my head in a circle. Hats have always been an issue. I’m not a fan of tying a tarp on my head like a do-rag, so I have to cut out the elastic liner in the XL flex fit hats. And it’s still tight.

      Best answer to this question yet. Well played, and a belated welcome Bastage. I always liked Johnny Dangerously, I always liked the MIL's line "Son of a Vishhh"
      "The first thing I learned upon becoming a head coach after fifteen years as an assistant was the enormous difference between making a suggestion and making a decision."

      "They talk about the economy this year. Hey, my hairline is in recession, my waistline is in inflation. Altogether, I'm in a depression."

      "I like to bike. I could beat Lance Armstrong, only because he couldn't pass me if he was behind me."

        Welcome.

        Since you are active in the Church and you love to read historical writings, I would strongly recommend The Work and The Glory series. I think you would enjoy these excellent books. Check them out!

              What is your problem, do you always recommend such filth? It was insinuated that Jacob or Edward or whoever the inactive brother was raped that saloon waitress before she converted. I don't recall if that was before or after he whipped his brother (have I ever mentioned I had ACL surgery 11 years ago and was not able to move for 2 weeks and read every stupid book we had on our shelves )

                Welcome Bastage, I am pleased you chose the pellegrino-approved template to introduce yourself. On a side note, a friend of mine from high school was nicknamed "the bastage" I never knew how she got it. I wonder if it was from Johnny Dangerously too.

                Knock it off. This board has enough problems without a dose of middle-age lechery.

                  I have never read The Work and The Glory. I prefer fiction over historical.

                    I assume you have read Blood and Thunder? I loved that book.

                    What do you recommend on Wyatt Earp? I watched an American Experience episode on him recently and found it fascinating.

                        Very deft intro, welcome. I don't recall much about Johnny Dangerously, but I recall an angry mob boss (presumably the same one who called people bastages and sons of barges) declaring "This is farging war!", with a hard "g", followed by a shot of a newspaper headline: "FARGING WAR!" It still amuses me.

                          I wish to add my welcome to all of the others.

                          I may be small, but I'm slow.

                            I've never heard of Johnny Dangerously, but I just watched a youtube clip. I guess words that sound like cuss words is the show's gimmick? Within about 20 seconds I heard Moronie say "What does that bastage want?" "listen to me, icehole!" and "Don't bullstein me!" lol. Then one of Dundee's guys says "What a mouth on that guy!"

                            Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                              The fake cussing is Moroney's gimmick in the movie. Honestly, that's the best part. I watched it again recently and it's not quite as enjoyable as I remembered it. It's kind of like those aging athletes who keep coming back and ruining the great memories you had of them from yesteryear.

                              BTW, the "actor" who had the "what a mouth on that guy" line is Dick Butkus.
