Stevie came on board in 2000, me, Flop and SR in 2005 and Pest in 2006.

I'd hung out with Mike quite a bit before that weekend, I *think* it was the first time Stevie, Pest or SR had met him.

But yeah, it felt like 30 years. You'd meet someone new at one of NZoner's bashes and it was like meeting a long lost relative.

This place was awesome back then, people gave a fuck about each other and built life-long friendships.

This was the game where a drunk Chiefs fan tried to fight me and these guys, especially Mike, came and put that guy down for me.

RIP Mike. Miss you.

That's too bad. RIP, friend.

Dang that sucks. He was always nice to me. Always talked about wanting to have a casino meet up with some of the CP degens.

RIP

Did Mr. Flop have health issues? He seems terribly young to go from an MI. Far too young.

Sounds like he had a positive impact on many people's lives here IRL. Condolences for the loss of your friend everyone.

He lived hard, that's all I'm gonna say.

I didn't know Mr. Flopnuts in real life, but I was always curious about his CP nickname. Does anyone know the origin story behind it? I was never sure if it was in reference to something kind of gross, or if he was an avid poker player.

RIP Flopnuts.

Poker. He told me how he got the name and I'll probably screw it up, but here goes the parts I remember...

He was playing against an Asian guy and and won a hand on the final flop. The guy thought Mike was nuts for holding what cards he played. The guy ended up telling Mike that he was "Crazy Meestah Fropnuts".

No, you pretty much nailed it.

I remember you telling me that story when we were up wheeling last summer. :-)
