Post #7000 for Big Nasty

That big s.o.b. , the year of that last vegas pic, were up at the buffet eating with jcin, my dad and the Behnke clan. After the meal I get some soft serve ice cream, and proceed to put some tasty lil rainbow sprinkles on top. The Behnke kids are making fun of me while Nasty had my back and let em know that rainbow sprinkles were for real men.

That night on the stream, with atleast 100 people tuned in, Nasty took that oppertunity to let the world know about my love for rainbow sprinkles, on air I let him know what a turncoat he was haha, the chat room loved Nasty.

Btw, what am I doing in that last pic?
 
Thanks, JCIN, for sharing these wonderful pics.

As for your 7,000th post, it is something to celebrate because your posts are of high value. Your participation in this forum adds a lot to it and I'm sure I'm not the only one looking forward to your next 1,000 posts.
 
Dude had a great way with nicknames and sayings...

Like calling Bartram "Lunch Box", cause if you're going to play him you need to pack a lunch... LOL

Justin may remember the exact quote, it was at the derby IIRC, but Nasty said something to the effect of "If they're from Ohio and wear a white t-shirt they can play.... Ohio is like the Philipines of the U.S.". I spit pop all over my screen when he said that one....

He came with a whole new style of color commentary....

I was thinking about that quote the other day and laughing. Nasty had some great ones.

He was a TERRIBLE speller and always cracked me up with some of the stuff he would come up with. At some event somewhere people started posting "SPARTANS!" in the chat whenever some tard needed to be hit with the ban hammer. So one day I'm sweating the chat and doing commentary while Nasty was somewhere else watching online. Some fool starts acting out and up pops:

bignasty: SPARTONS!!!!

For some reason it absolutely cracked me up and to this day you will see me occasionally drop a "SPARTONS!!!" in the chat before dropping the hammer.

If TAR has a motto its "What could possibly go wrong?". It came from something I used to say to Nasty all the time. Usually he or I would come up with some wild ass idea (usually Nasty) and when we had talked each other into it I would say "What could possibly go wrong?' and he would always say "It will be GREAT!"

Usually something did go wrong during the adventure and usually he was right. I really miss that excitement and spirit of his when it came to doing things. He truly loved pool and the players. Even when things went bad he almost always took the higher road and made peace or forgave whoever screwed up. I think the reason he was such a big dude was so he could carry around all that heart.
 
nice pics and thread. I didn't have the pleasure of actually meeting Nasty in person but we spoke on the phone a few times.

The first time we were shooting the breeze about a couple of players or match up's or what not and Nasty gets a call on another phone. It's obvious he's taking down "action" from someone on some games. I said "damn, that's some heavy action". He comes back with "yeah, well we gotta pay for this pool stuff somehow".

I laughed my ass off. Just the way he said it was golden. RIP Chad
 
Wonderful thread, Justin!!!

Wow, what a great friendship you two had and it shows in your ongoing dedication to keep his memory alive!

Makes me glad to be an AZ'er!!!

I can't remember what year it was, I was at Shooters in Olathe.
I believe Chad was in the room, surrounded by all the action people...
...and having a good time.
I had my own personal agenda at the time, which was to take something
down and avoid going broke...I tend to stay away from the wiseguys when
there's action.
Ronnie Wiseman made a snooker score and also beat Vivian Villareal giving
her the 7. The Lion got taken off at 3-cushion.

In retrospect, I wish I had mixed more, I love that side of the game also.
...but you can't get through life without sins of omission.

RIP, Chad
 
Awesome post and pics. Thanks Justin.

With all the times that we hung out and VF and the Open I never met Chad. I regret that.
