Is there a way we can get a section that was very popular such as the infamous Walmart thread or some others that has great capping information in one area?

Maybe like a Hall of Fame type forum.

Great idea Iron. Another forum I browse has one of these and it's hilarious to browse through old fantastic threads.

I agree

here are three great threads to start it off.....

here is a classic story by jjgold



Boys it was such a weird experience meeting these 3 clowns last night at the track. I mean it was like I was on Earth and the other three were on fukkin Mars or in their own worlds. It starts out like real normal and we all are shaking hands, ect. I call the guys whatever name comes to my head like hey Danny, hey Rod, ect. So it goes all well there and then we proceed to our seats.

Now this guy Raisencain must be a bigshot there because he gets us the best seats in the house in a reserved box and has food already paid before we even it. What a class act and a generous guy. More later on this guy and the Nut he really turned out to be. I thought we were there to bet some races and talk a little but mainly gamble. I have fukkin roll of a sharks cash in my pocket ready to bet big numbers at Penn National but little did I know it was like the twilight zone instead.

We start with Total Square and this guy has 2 cell phones, 1 pager and get this a mini pocket fukkin web browser!!!! I thought he would want to get away for a night without all the tecno ****, ect. I would try and ask this guy “who do you like in the 2nd at Penn National and I had to ask him 4 fukiin times until he heard me and get this his reply was” It is all business JJ”” I had no fukkin clue if this guy was smoking weed or drinking. He did not hear a fukkin word I said. All he did was go on the pocket browser and stare at his sportspager all night and made a few calls in between. I waited like 20 minutes and this guy did not say word to any of us so I say to him “hey TS how is Bowmans”? I swear again he goes “JJ it is all business” I am just looking at this guy in bewilderment. I do of know what to make of him and he talks to me like he never hears a word I say(common theme developing boys) . This happens 7 times throughout the night when I tried to ask him a question and I kept getting the same answer. I say *** this clown and let me move on to Mjulian.

This Julian character always looks really concerned and is a deep thinker. When I would ask him something the look I would get is one of cloudiness and concern. He just starred at me kind of and then get this boys carries his fukkin bank books in his shirt pocket!!! He says to me” JJ I got 42 dimes in the bank.” It came out of the blue and had nothing to do what I was asking him. I do not give a *** how much this clown has in the bank, ect. I came here to talk to these guys about gambling and stuff and it appears they are in another fukkin world!! I then ask him “hey Julian what books do you use?” He then proceeds to tell me in 7 years he will be worth 450 Dimes. I am saying under my breathe “who gives a ***, this guy is nuts and out there”. He had to look at his bank books 20 times during the course of the night and kept shaking his head when he looked at it. He also sometimes would just yell out to the crowd “ All Rise” in a real deep voice like an opera singer and it was embarassing because everyone would stare at us. Again what the *** was on his mind??? I was starting to think I better get the *** out of here these guys are nuts and appeared to have snapped or something.!!!

Ok Raisencain seemed to be cool with the initial handshake and a little small talk about gambling so I figured I would pal around with this guy as we have more in common. Well boys this guy turned out to be the biggest nut and strangest character I know other than our own Peep. I would be looking at the tote board and I would hear whispers behind me in the next level of seats and it was Cain talking to some guys and he was whispering with his hand covering his mouth. I would then look back at him and he would stop suddenly and pretend to read the paper. What did this guy think?? I was born fukkin yesterday. He did not realize I was a street guy I guess . He did this all fukkin night and it was so annoying and every time I looked up at him he would stop and pretend to read the paper and like smile. This guys now I am thinking has fukkin snapped or is just nuts!!!! Boys it gets worse. Another strange thing about this guy is he always has a deck of cards in his hands and is doing tricks with them. I am shaking my head in disbelief going “what a fukkin jerkoff this guy is” and saying to my myself “what the *** am I doing here with these losers? I bet Cain always has card games going on the street and during the night when he was not whispering I asked him what was up his right sleeve because I saw something there. He pulls out a 4 of clubs and starts laughing so loud!! I swear I do not know if I should just run out of the fukkin track right then. I quietly backed away from this guy.

Ok boys time to leave and we all shake hands and **** and Mjulian puts some type of robe on (I had to turn my fukkin head and laugh because the thing was sooo ugly and outdated), Johhny (TS) get a load of this wears a fukkin tank top only in the pouring rain. I did not know what to make of it but just shake my head and praying to get the *** out. I shake hands with the two and they went their way in another direction and Cain parked in the same areas as me and he whispers to me “JJ I want to show you my car?? I am going what the ***???? Does this guy want to bang me on the side of the car??? I said what the *** if he tries something I can run and scream. He is wearing a long trench coat and a suite underneath. I thought he looked like an undertaker or something. During the walk to the car he keeps playing with this deck of cards and smiling to himself. Does this guy tell himself jokes or what?? What the ***?? Maybe he snapped???

Get to his car and boys he opens his trunk up and get a load of this….. The trunk is full of guns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I swear I almost came in my pants!!!!! I love weapons and **** but I am discreet when I carry. I am going to Cain are you nuts??? This is a public parking lot and he is showing me all the guns he has and ****. He pulls out a brand new shotgun and shows me how to load it and cock it. He does this and starts laughing real loud and his eyes light up so much I thought he was coming. He starts pointing it at the sky and then starts yelling “Pow, Pow, Pow, Pow. That was the last fukkin straw and ran to my car and went home!!!! Sorry Cain but you have lost it.

Boys after last night I really do believe we are all sick fuks in one way or another and I mean everyone of us!!!

No more meeting posters for me, they are just tooooooooooooo far out there. I wonder why we all post day and night and live in glass houses. We are misfits and I am really starting to believe I just might be the top 5 “normal” posters here.

I agree. I have said this before. I think it would be hugely popular.

Once it had so many views put into the HOF.

I will tell you what I will do, just use this forum right here for any classic threads you want posted. I will move them for you, all you have to do is give me a link in this thread and I will move them here. I will also re-name this forum to 'Comment on the Rx. and view classic threads from years gone by" (or something like that).


let me know.

Thanks Wil. Should I (or anyone else) email you the links to the thread or just add them in this thread?

You can add them to this thread or start a new thread titled:

"Classic thread links - please move any threads posted here to this forum"..



Then just start adding the links and I will move them as we go along. There is no need to race, anyone can add additional classics as we go. Make sure the thread is inactive at least 6 months, I don't want to move any threads that still might get some hits natrually.

Please nothing from The Rubber Room or Site Promotions.

Wilheim I still do not see what the problem is having another room at the RX.COM


I mean you guys have a room called

The First Annual Haters Ball Competition (1 Viewing)


but you do not want a room with the best threads the rx had over the time it existed:pope:


I just think it makes common sense to have a room with the best threads

Even though I changed the description of this forum to:

How are we doing? What can we do to be better? Also view some Rx. com Classic Threads from the past..

There is still not a single classic thread requested to be moved here. Perhaps if there was some serious response to the classic thread issue then a separate forum might be something I can look into.

Regarding the Haters Forum, I opened that to help reduce abusive posting in the sport forums and as a favor to several veteran posters who wanted to compete with each other but not effect the sport forums or have their threads exposed to The Rubber Room. The forum is harmless. Anyone who does not like it should simply ignore it.

Wow I just saw this after I thought it was a dead issue.
There you go Wil. Actually if you look at the quality and quanity of the of information you may see the value for these types of threads to be put into one area (and by itself). The site IMO would want to get a beginner to a novice and novices to advanced gamblers and this is one way of doing that instead of having to wade through garbage to get to it (like I just did (it took me over an hour to get this))

If you would like to, I can get this going you may have to sweeten up the deal or something **cough cough** I'm a size XL shirt **cough cough**

Maybe if there was a post in the offshore forum about this more people would find threads to include...I doubt many on this forum know this is even being discussed right now (I just saw it)

And maybe once we get a few classic threads set up in here, someone could maintain a "Table of Contents" post and put it as a sticky:thumbsup:

Keep them coming. Later this week I will make a post Offshore encouraging other posters to add more links here and then I will move them up.


Ironman - excellent job.

OK thanks again Wil. I went through the Offshore, Baseball, NFL and College football (I may go through NBA and College Bball later) and came up with these. I can foresee a problem with combining the older threads that were funny (such as the Walmart thread) with the threads that have some great information (such as the ones I have given). As you know the dramatic trumps the more educational so maybe a subforum separating the two types may be the way to go.

Thanks again

All of the above have been moved except for a couple that were new threads (less than 6 months old). Remember Classic threads must be at least 6months old and not be in the Rubber Room or Site Promotions. Rob Funk is helping me move some of these threads as it is very time consuming.

Thanks, wil.
