When did AN jump the shark?
When AN 1.0 became 2.0?
When the SB Nation blog fleet appeared and someone posted a diary asking whether Blez sold out?
When Macha did Nations commercials?
When Diego Chavez asked everyone how to pronounce his last name?
When mcbronsh wrote "what's your f'n problem AN?"
When E-Lo got wasted and hauled ass down the freeway and didn't show up to AN Confessional the next day?
When Jairo Garcia became The Santiago Casilla of Fremont?
When "my $0.02" and "'nuff said" first appeared?
When Blez let other people help him run the site?
When ze diary police were out to get you?
When Charles Thomas came to Oakland and AN was excited about one of the worst Athletics since Billy McMillon and Arthur Rhodes?
When oaktoon/reztips/jrbh/some other rebel left?
When people started asking what to name their babies?
When "FIRE MACHA NOW" became the answer to every poll question?
When Joe Morgan doesn't know shit about Moneyball was a popular argument?
When Ted McGinley guest starred?
When the DLD appeared?
When political commentary dominated the thread about that idiot Tim Hardaway?
When the AN logo changed?
When posternutbag44 appeared and everyone was pissed off because there would never again be a user name as cool as that one?
When butt threads/high socks crew were everywhere?
When Reginald Stephen Shipp Bixby became Reg?
When someone finally refused to drink the Kool Aid?
When Barry Zito started to sing John Mayer and Ben Folds and other horrible music?
When Oakland became the Silicon Valley A's of Fremont?
When Mike Heath was benched for Mickey Tettleton?
It never jumped the shark!

the whole "day to day" thing
So's the 'x' on either end of your name thing.
Oh I know when
Also, me coming in second for the autographed Eric Chavez ball. :(
The diary police
Looking back at that list, I think the whole "Blez sold out" diary was the most comical.
Also dont forget ban "chick talk" on AN.
when HH and rev-related posts dominated AN
same here
Those were dark days, my friends, dark days...

And although I was born and raised in the South, Southern cuisine is definitely not my expertise.

if someone ever claims the name...
andeux can be grandfathered in with his lowercase "an" I suppose, especially because he might bitch or kvetch otherwise.

I'm honored.
My ANcestor (AN-sistah?) is Oaktown Girl. Makes me want to sing a Billy Joel tune -- Oaktown Girl, she's been livin' in her Oaktown world...
I'm worthwhile?
by Ryan Armbrust on Feb 21, 2007 8:20 PM PST up reply actions
GNGG is my ancestor...sort of....
No. 446 is iLoveZito13...who signed a diary "Cathy Garcia." Hmmm...that name's familiar.
Probably because Cathy Garcia is also known as GreenNGoldGirl -- No. 584.
by FormerHuntsvilleStar on Feb 20, 2007 5:42 PM PST up reply actions
that new sig gets funnier each time I see it
I guess it was either
AN = Happy Days?
- Blez = Arthur Fonzarelli
- Sharon & Jennifer = Laverne & Shirley
- McFood = Pinky Tuscadero
- Ice Cream = Leather Tuscadero
- Kielty = Ralph Malph
- Nico = Potsy
- Kos = Al Delvecchio
Who gets to star in Joanie loves Chachi?
I'd put on some rainbow suspenders ...
can we pick a TV show that I've seen?
by Cutthemullet on Feb 20, 2007 10:46 AM PST up reply actions
don't blame me, CTM
Although if we're going to start comparing AN to N@N-type shows, I have a feeling Nico may prefer Mr Ed ...
ah

Theories:

- Sal created a robot to boost the comment count of his diaries and it went berserk, or
- comment spam (boring)

Good times on AN indeed!
This has nothing at all to do with sharkjumping

Keep it in your pants, Cowgirl.
So funny
This video might really be the mark of AN's shark jumping. Good call, mikeA.
