• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

This is from a 90s baseball video game where a Japanese game designer had to make up a bunch of “American” names

Several years back, a janitor that used to work in my building kept asking me for my name so he could add me on Facebook. I would tell him my name, and the next time I saw him, he would ask again. One day, he came in and said, "Man, I still can't find you on Facebook. You said your name is Chris Knuckles, right?"

My first name is not Chris, and sadly my surname is not Knuckles. I don't know where he got this name from, but he deserves an award. It's the coolest name I've ever heard.

Since that day, he continued calling me Chris in the hallway and I never corrected him.
