Title: Frequently-mentioned people who aren't here
Post by: hbelkins on February 13, 2023, 12:36:06 PM
Who is frequently cited here but isn't a forum member?

Jim Georges (Freewayjim)
Big Rig Steve

Others? (No, Robert Moses doesn't count. Neither does Bud Shuster.)

Ray Mullins, Steve Sobel, Jim Ross, Sydney Croasmun, Mike Ballard, Harrison Scott and Joel Windmiller come up a fair bit on Pacific Southwest.  In the line of thought with spouses, I've mentioned my wife Jessica numerous times on forum.

But he hasn't used it in a long time (he's been clear on the reasoning if you dig enough).  He also abandoned his old account.

DON'T change Booger Queen to John Madden. Booger Queen is so beautiful when written. And Sault Sainte John Madden should be changed to Maisy.

I can confirm my wife doesn't have an account.  She already has her fill of road world stuff when she asks me what I'm worked on days off between Gribblenation and caroutebyroute.

He only gets mentioned in a mocking way, and often I'm the one doing it.

The mention of Gene VanD. was somewhat in line of what I was thinking. I'd noticed an uptick in Big Rig Steve references the last day or so, and I know Jim's Facebook group often gets mentioned.

I was thinking mostly of content creators -- webmasters, administrators of popular groups, oft-cited mentioned YouTube channels, that sort of thing.

Booger Queen

What? Does Booger Queen have a road-related Website? A YouTube channel? A Facebook page?

Around here, Booger Queen is what some people called Burger Queen, the regional fast-food franchise that became Druther's.

It would be really nice if people put thought into what they were posting. Maybe I didn't make the intent clear but I figured mentioning Jim or Big Rig Steve would give people the idea (which is why I mentioned Shuster and Moses; they frequently come up in discussions here but weren't what I was looking for.)

Booger Queen is the national fast food chain of Totsoland (https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=27705.msg2815545#msg2815545). They sell a watered down version of the BurgerWater found at Waterburger in Alanland, the Koala Sandwich, and the Burger War Memorial Triple Patty Supreme Bacon Xtreme Sausage Diarrhea-Inducing Meat Burger (or BWMTPSBXSDIMB for short). They are rumored to be expanding into Nimbya co-branded with Taco Bell-esque. One interesting thing about Booger Queen is that on the north facing wall of every restaurant in Idaho provinceblast lies this picture of Anthony Rental:

But what happens when Alanland gets its first female Supreme Leader? Will she have to use the Booger Queen title? Seems kinda sexist if you ask me.

Different value system in Alanland.  That said, would "Booger Monarch"  placate the PCs running amok?

Try calling that and see if she goes out with you.  Maybe she'll be intrigued by the new nickname?   You'll never know if you don't try.

Back to the OP and HB's intention for this thread, I can't think of anyone offhand in my "states of influence" who isn't already here...with the possible exception of Steve Goodwin who posts a lot of Vermont stuff on the FB groups, but I haven't ever seen mention of him here.

Correct lol. I haven't ate ate a Burger King in over 15 years. Last time I was turned off by one was the end of it for me. I was in New York traveling along the NYS Thruway and stopped at a service plaza somewhere in Westchester County since it was on the east side of the Tappan Zee Bridge so I go into the Burger King there and the place is just trashed like they had just got done getting their asses kicked on orders. The condiment station was unstocked, the trash was overflowing at all trash cans and I stood there alone in the lobby for about 5 minutes and no one waited on me. I thought well I've never really liked Burger King in the first place so I think I'll boycott them from now on. And the Burger King's around my area aren't very good really either in fact they have closed several Burger King's in the area here. I can think of four of them off the top of my head that are closed for good.

If you haven't "ate ate" a Burger King in over 15 years (I assume you meant "eaten at"), then how do you know that the Burger Kings around your area aren't very good?
