This young cat deserves a round of props from the forum. For one, he's single-handedly kept the epic 10 Thread going for, quite literally, 100s of pages. He drops wisdom here, and on ROK, as a matter of routine. And, his animated GIF game is arguably the best of the forum.

This one's for you.

Athlone must need an extra external drive just to house his porn collection!

But yeah, props to the him. The guy is barely old enough to legally drink, yet is the smartest dude on the forum. His Hooligan Harry shutdowns were epic.

I just read two of his posts in the "high standards man" thread, and wow, they cut right through all the bullshit and got down to what was really going on.
He explained how girls think like he was a fucking mind reader.

Athlone is probably furiously Googling reaction gifs to find the perfect gif for this thread.

Someone once said that Ahtlone must be a search engine that has gained sentience. There is no other explanation!

Cheers, dude

The world simply isn't ready for you Athlone. Keep doing what you do...

Bumping this.

Just read this thoughtful and nuanced comment on the "game vs. money" debate. It never gets old because it's always relevant.

Excelsior is a writer of penetrating insight, and it would be a crime for him to stop writing.

A voice that is sorely needed.

His articles on ROK are one of the reasons I sought out the forum.

Quote:The shades of night were falling fast,
As through an Alpine village passed
A youth, who bore, 'mid snow and ice,
A banner with the strange device,
Excelsior!

His brow was sad; his eye beneath,
Flashed like a falchion from its sheath,
And like a silver clarion rung
The accents of that unknown tongue,
Excelsior!

In happy homes he saw the light
Of household fires gleam warm and bright;
Above, the spectral glaciers shone,
And from his lips escaped a groan,
Excelsior!

"Try not the Pass!" the old man said;
"Dark lowers the tempest overhead,
The roaring torrent is deep and wide!"
And loud that clarion voice replied,
Excelsior!

"Oh stay," the maiden said, "and rest
Thy weary head upon this breast! "
A tear stood in his bright blue eye,
But still he answered, with a sigh,
Excelsior!

"Beware the pine-tree's withered branch!
Beware the awful avalanche!"
This was the peasant's last Good-night,
A voice replied, far up the height,
Excelsior!

At break of day, as heavenward
The pious monks of Saint Bernard
Uttered the oft-repeated prayer,
A voice cried through the startled air,
Excelsior!

A traveller, by the faithful hound,
Half-buried in the snow was found,
Still grasping in his hand of ice
That banner with the strange device,
Excelsior!

There in the twilight cold and gray,
Lifeless, but beautiful, he lay,
And from the sky, serene and far,
A voice fell like a falling star,
Excelsior!
