So I come here and debate the same political stuff over and over again.

As far as the Angry goes...I am not really angry, people just always mistake my demeanor for someone who is constantly pissed off (online and in person) even my wife gets confused. Its a label that I will never get rid of.

I was drinking Jim Beam and 7up when I first found this site in its Yahoo! days back in the summer of '99. When I joined, "Beamnseven" was already taken...

And I said "but Lord Gibbs, I am not worthy of discussing the Redskins online as the ability to be a jerk thanks to internet autonomy is an honor which with I am not worthy." And the voice said "thy name is not worthy but thy soul is and thou shalt be called Dirtbag, and your post shall be fruitful and multiply 359 times hence forth."

Afterwords I swore I would never do drugs again, so I used the Warpath as a means to help distract me while I quit.

Anyway in all seriousness I was a tweener in high school, going back and fourth from linebacker to DL/OL. By the time my senior year of high school came around I developed a respect for the importance of play in the trenches and by the time I registered for the forum in 2006 the OL was nicknamed the dirtbags by Buges so I figured that was as good of a place as any to start. Also I was number 59 in high school but for some reason my emails and SN's always had a 359 at the end (I think I stole the "idea" from my younger brother). And so Dirtbag359 was born.

I still think it's kind of funny though how sometimes people will refer to me as DB, as theres a part of my brain wired to interpert that as douchebag upon first look but it's only for less then a second

As to how I came on the site, well I had been on a few fitness forums and figured it'd be nice to get in contact with Redskin fans for a change so I searched for a redskin forum on Yahoo and some how I had the good fortune of ending up here instead of ES.

I can't really remember what exactly it involved, but there wasn't much to it besides slapping your own pads and yelling.

Why I decided to end it with a Z, I wish I knew.
