/yeah I'm a fanboy. So what?

 

I like this newb.

 

I dunno. He's annoying and he's an insufferable fanboy.


;D

 

You have completely lost me.

 

It's not exactly hard to do....

 

GET OUT OF MY COUNTRY, LIMEY!

 

I KNEW I liked something about the British besides golf and some of its bands ...

 

Clarification: i was talking about Allegedly. I read his first post, and posted without reading the second post on the thread. I know nothing about mb, his fanboyness, or nothing about hockey either. Therefore, I don't know if I like him or not.

 

Understood. My apologies for muddying the waters, however unintentional.

MB is a good one. Anyone who can win HC's hockey-themed haiku contest can't possibly be bad.

 

Back on track
