I don't know about the new forum, but let's kick in for a new keyboard for him (one that has a Shift key, so he can mix in a few capital letters).

I made the same half-serious suggestion when he was posting here as "The Silencer", but I think he took offense.

He was The Silencer?

Jimmy,
Well, let's see. His name is Bernie. He's from NYC. He loves 8-ball. He rarely capitalizes the first word in a sentence. He rarely inserts a paragraph. He makes new threads faster than a live Ethiopian chicken (fastest land animal).
His syntax is identical. I give it a 99.9% probability. He must have a new IP address to escape notice by the authorities.

P.S. - I never had any animosity towards him; but he sure could fill up a page with new threads unlike anyone we've had here before.

Yes he was The Silencer. He's only on good behavior because he's on the IPT. I've no doubt that if he weren't on the IPT he would be the same as he used to be.

Everyone else that was banned gets booted when their alias becomes known.... I wish they would do the same to him. :rolleyes:

This should slow him down

Hot and Spicy Ethiopian Chicken

This is a stew like recipe, fit to feed a crowd. I've never tried it, but it looked so interesting I couldn't resist sharing. You could use Zaar to scale this recipe down, and I'm told other meats work in this dish as well as chicken.
12 chicken pieces (legs and thighs are good)
8 lbs onions, finely chopped
1 lb of mashed garlic
1/4 lb mashed ginger
1 cup ethiopian chili powder (chili powder is your closest substitute, but ideally you want the real thing)
1-1 1/2 lb butter
salt and pepper
12 hard-boiled eggs
12 servings
2 hours 30 mins prep

have a tasty day

Who's this 8-ball Bernie? :D
8ball Bernie is a hack. He's a nobody that happened to get lucky to be one of the 1st members of the IPT... or in his words the IPT Tour. He doesn't play for money because he can't handle the pressure. The only way he can run out a rack in 8ball is if he breaks and sinks in at least 3 balls and the rest are hanging. I could probably beat him playing with my off hand. If he had any idea of what people around him think about him, he'd probably commit suicide. People are only nice to him because he's somebody that can build up your confidence if you need somebody to beat up on.

I think that's a tad harsh. Bernie is a nice guy, just over-enthusiastic. He has feelings too. :(

And Bernie is on the IPT because he has a couple qualities that a lot of better pool players didn't have - he was prompt with his application and he believed in the possibility of something better for pool players. :)

You're right, Fool. Bernie is lucky to be one of the first members of the IPT, and in reality, so are the other current 149 members, FWIW. :)

For the record, these polls are just annoying.

People are very close to getting warnings.

Open attacks on posters won't be allowed.

Ok yeah I made the poll, but what you said is pretty messed up and totally uncalled for.

Bernie has been annoying alot of us mainly in this forum section. For the last few days, there has been a couple of topics that are interesting and should get alot more posts, but they got pushed down to the next page because Bernie makes like 10 threads in a row. I've asked Bernie to chill out with all the threads, and so have alot of us. So I figured why not make a somewhat humorous poll so he can see what most of us think. And yes I think that personal attack on him was totally uncalled for.

You're absolutely right Mr. Wilson and I apologize to you, to 8Ball Bernie and to anyone else that I may have offended. It's just that I know this man personally for years and he has a way of getting under peoples skins.

Who thinks 8-ball Bernie should get a forum section just for himself?

Dude I have NEVER wanted anything to happen more. Not because Bernie is annoying me or, that I have any animosity towards him though. Actually I don't care much. But it would be the funniest thing i have seen in a while. I love it.

C'mon Mr. Wilson lets get Bernie his own forum.
 
He already appears to be living in his own world. Might as well give him his own forum as well. :cool:
