My username has changed here, but gopherben was mine before for tracking purposes and such.

Hey Musk, good to see that you made the jump. It will be interesting to see if any of the other BYTO death pool crew did the same (hell, maybe I can win by default, or not).

fatbeer · June 23, 2012

I thought of changing my name because I don't drink anymore then I remembered when I was 16 and came up with this name I didn't drink either. Holly crap the internet is getting old.

I'm sticking around. It looks like I might need to personally knock off some of the people on my list to retain my title though. (I apologize if anyone is offended by my reference to killing people for death pool points.)
