    How the hell could you fit 27 people in a Expedition? I don't even see how that's possible.

    My parents had an Expedition in the late 90s that looked similar to the one that was hit. It has three seats in the back, two seats in the middle and two seats in the front. Maybe three in the middle. At most there shouldn't be more than 8 people in that thing. 27 people means they had people in the storage space in the back. In fact, I'm betting they took the seats out entirely.

    He’s the kind of Mexican you can only fit one of in an Expedition though, so not sure what kind of help he’d be on this topic.

    I will say, this is the kind of thread that upsets me about people going to HCP's boss(es). No, I'm not an HCP "fan boy". But damn, he takes a lot more shit than he gives. He takes it from the entire forum. I mean, this is a thread about a serious and sad tragedy, and it takes less than 5 posts before the thread starts making cracks at HCP's expense. He's an easy target, in part because he takes it (jokes unnecessary here - we've heard them all).

    I mean, I have low-filter and have no qualms about pushing boundaries on humor, even on rather serious and morbid incidents. It's clear that most folks on S2 are not so dissimilar. I suspect the coward(s) that have reported HCP to his boss(es) have contributed and poked fun at these morbid and/or racially-insensitive threads.

    Maybe I should have felt more discomfort earlier, and I believe most people are just trying to have fun and be lighthearted, but I'm uncomfortable poking fun at HCP's expense while there is a coward here that has targeted him, his family, his livelihood. And clearly continues to target him. I know HCP has been a good sport about it, but I think we should resist the temptation for the time being.

    (Okay, okay.... I'll get off my holier-than-though soap box because I know I've poked fun at him in the past week....)

    I personally have never felt comfortable making HCP wife jokes and I have definitely not made racist jokes about him. I have called him AV boy and I made a crack about his education.

    The guy annoys me but I have never complained or gone to his employer. Although I guess you could make the argument that I hold him responsible for their shitty camera angles.

    With that said, you share your personal info at your own risk on here. If people ever tried to screw with me they probably ran into a brick wall :grin:

    It's got to be a custom or better and the news reporter gave the wrong description.

    This. But there I also wouldn't be surprised if it was a poster that was not banned.

    That's not directed at any current poster in particular, but the crazies here aren't all that far off from the mixum's and PapaG's...

    He has been reported to the team before on here. It was a few years back. He went dark for a while after that. Not sure who did it that time either.

    If anything I'd dime him out to Greg Oden for reporting him to the team for playing basketball with me at 24 hour fitness.

    I never understand going after someone's personal life because of a message board.

    You mean drinking alcohol?

    I haven't been drunk in a very long time.

    Now if you're talking about getting drunk on being right on the internet, I do that all the time :evilfire:
