Phil 5,119 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Hey all, Inspired by the whole trivia debacle, I started walking down memory lane, ignoring the red lights and traffic. I joined the league back in S16. It was really a long time ago. So much in my life has happened since then. There are random memories I have of many members - most long gone. I'd love a dedicated thread where we came share some together. I'll start (and probably continue) below.

Phil 5,119 Posted October 14, 2022 Author Share Posted October 14, 2022 (edited) Brooks Brooks.. Kevin Brooks... brooksie. He is one of the true four "founders" of the league. When I entered he was still active and a commissioner. The random memory I have was his member description. Underneath his username and dp, he had a quote "I'm not sad anymore, I'm just tired of this place". I DM'ed him after weeks of looking at it and asked him what it was all about. He told me it was from the Pop Punk Band "The Wonder Years"'s lastest album, a track called My Last Semester. That album became the theme of my summer. I loved it from start to finish and listened to it every day on the bus to work. To this day, I can't hear the song without thinking back to the VHL and Brooks.

Arce 755 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Ah, I still have Brooks on my Xbox friends list. Haven’t talked to him in years though. When I GMed the VHL Vasteras I remember how he begged me not to draft his second player, only to be drafted by me anyway.

JardyB10 4,865 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I remember when Slobo got drunk, recorded an amusing and racially insensitive podcast, and threw tampons at his cat.
