Boozer checking in,
Dok flamed me as being one of the first of 1000 dweebs when AW went SVGA and full real came live. I used to be impressed by Axman and JG26 in half-time. I remember htat very first exposure when I was lost on a silly 8 field map. Went straight to real time and Got trained by Grok. I started spending my time trying to fight Rocketman in his high hog, NB when he wasn't looking, DD in his 38, Merch his low swooping FW... man I miss those days, I miss them a lot.
And even then some of the best I had heard of already retired.
My best times back then were Saturday mornings, Mute and Popeye on my wings fighting out of 87 with us all playing a 10k alt rule.. I'm pretty sure that's where the "Men of Leisure" name came from, waste a whole saturday...
I outflew DD in one of those con competitions, HE was too drunk and blew a high merge , lol. I thought I had arrived then

I used to worship him and all the other high scorers. The guys are still magic in my eyes, I'm one of the first 1000 dweebs. There's so many handles I admired...
So yeah, the world split and I got a trainer slot in AW AOL
Did trainer in gamestorm for a while
Found AH, here the spark is still alive...
Think of your days past and who you really thought highly of. There are some new guys out there today that feel that way now, the magic, the wonder, lets bring them along and encourage them to kill us
