He had some great photos of the cast and crew and shared some insights on Kevin Costner and the rest of them.

If I remember right, Para even gave him a cut cause the whole thing was just so cool.

FN in MT Is the member.
The Constable is his CUT.

ETA. ^^^ Beat me by a few minutes.

This has been a walk down memory lane.

What about the unofficial SIGforum uniform?

I just went to DuckDuckGo.com, typed in “the untouchables sigforum” and it was the first link that came up.

Good research on your part and thanks for correcting my error on where exactly he worked. For some reason I had Canadian police in my memory banks. So much for trusting my memory.

There was a guy who was a Federal Air Marshall.

He got a bit belligerent at times.

He is no longer with us; I think that parabellum invited him to leave. Or maybe he was given a "time-out" and never returned.

The incidents mentioned have been inspiring, memorable, and hilarious. Kegger, Gecko, and Sendec took the (gay) cake. For my money the Taco Bell Haiku thread is worth its weight in gold.

Thanks.
Tried that now to find the priceless Cliff thread of 2010 but without success. Would love to revisit that hysterical episode.
Also the spectre one again without success.

All I've found is a 2017 thread about how things ended for Cliffy WMS and the damage he did to several members. https://sigforum.com/eve/forums...935/m/5730079024/p/1

I forgot about that picture.

He claimed to be of Viking heritage but, ironically, Stenhamer was not his last name, it was his wife’s name.

My earlier reference to a member trying to sell an engagement ring goes back a ways also.

For some reason I remember Calvert1. I think that was around the time I first joined.

Dude claimed he was some kind of “operator” or something.

Was Calvert1’s Porsche stolen from his garage, someone used a plasma cutter to cut out the garage door?

Batteries, pool noodles, boat accidents. Lots of members that I think of as synonymous with the forum. Too many to mention, but JAllen immediately comes to mind. The cat thread. Even my wife will check the forum occasionally to catch up on that.

And of course JAllen. His wisdom seemed effortless.

You know what's really funny is that three four years back, someone mentioned in the forum that his shit website finally tanked. I took a look at that time. It was still up but not publicly accessible. As soon as I said "Oh, really? Well, they lost and we won," someone must have told him and he was like clickclickclickclick and he made his big pile of nothing publicly accessible again.

I just checked it, and now when you go there, it redirects you to some Asian gaming site.

Didn't you nickname him 'Benny Big-Time' because he was always posting about all the 'important' people he knew and how much money he had?
