It started on JSO back in 1994. I saw the political bashings of Tex, Powerlift, and few others during the infamous "Lambert Field thread during the 94 elections and decided I wanted to join in. My usual sign-in is Packmafia, but I was in a hurray to post a response to some billigerent, idiotic post Tex had written so pacfan was who I became.
Packmafia on the other hand has a little story to it. My brother wanted to create a on-line posting community (pre-Xbox). He created all these mafia related names with Packer/Wisconsin connections for all of us. I was Luca Bratski, he was Maccaroni something, with a few other names for our friends-I can't remember. The group failed by the group name stuck, the Pack Mafia.
I have since lost interest in Xbox gaming and rarely now have time to post but Packmafia remains somewhat active in the on-line community.

Um, maybe the 2004election? Kerry/Bush?
Can't disagree about Tex, tho.
As far as the Pacmafia goes, who was the Teflon Don?

Its really been "one of those days" all day. I screwed-up a major presentation of which I am considered the lone "expert" in the department. The more I spoke, the deeper the hole, the worse things became.
I am absolutely convinced this is real reason why we have alcohol.
I use to be on a traveling tournament softball team that went around the state and won money.
Did'ja ever get to play Eddie Feigner????
Nope, but I've read about the guy and he's amazing.
The King and his court came to Cumberland in 1984 and I was lucky enough to get to play against them. I played 3rd base and somehow managed to get my glove up quick enough to prevent losing all my teeth. Wow, those guys could hit. When I came up for my first at bat, Eddie blindfolded himself. The catcher told me to hit the ball to left field. Eddie threw a curve ball that started at me head and of course I dove out of the way. As I hit the ground I saw the ball curve over the heart of the plate. Finally I managed to line the ball to left field only to be thrown out at first by about 5 steps.
After the game we headed to Sammy's Pizza for some pies and brews. They were a great bunch of guys and those are some great memories.
As to my screen name, when I saw Homer at his cass reunion and the sign said "Class of '74", I realized we had many things in common.
Noodle is a reference to the Keith Richards songwriting method -- he just noodles on the guitar until something comes out: "If I stick around long enough, something will generally come along," he says, "Im just a medium, a receiver, a conduit. I polish it up and transmit it."
Nothing special, just a homage to the guy we'd all like to be, if we can't be Favre.
Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.
