I have no personal grievances against anyone in this community, I like it here, it's a damn good time. Yes I am an aggie, I attend Texas A&M University in College Station. Yes I built bonfire. yes it was a F*CKING tragedy. Crack all the F*CKING jokes you want, but please do not bring that up and laugh at it. How would you like it if I laughed at your grandma's kidney's failing? Or some terrible accident or ailment of your family? It was a very complicated fucked up situation, 12 people died. As an aggie I do not appreciate when people crack F*CKING jokes about it and laugh at. I myself was highly involved in New army bonfire, which is very alike and different from pre '99 when it fell. Most if not all of you have no F*CKING clue what you are talking about. i would very much appreciate it if the subject was not brought up.
Like I said, say all the steers and queers dumb shit aggie jokes you want. Totally cool with that. I would appreciate this subject not touched.
Thanks and Gig'em.

what you talking bout willis?

....what the F*CK just happened...??

I think he's talkin about this? http://acct.tamu.edu/smith/bonfire.htm

Well then dont make 40 foot towers out of timber and you wont have a problem *pats you on the head* ohh yea and Lolatu.

References have been made to it here and there to hate on A&M. It's very offensive. This is probably the only thing that irks me at all.

Uh... people actually knew and cared enough about all this in the server to say something about it? How did people know you went to TX A&M? How the hell do people know about the bonfire accident. I sure as hell didn't before you posted this. I'm confused. Maybe I don't give enough credit to the awareness of our constituency...


What do you feel when you see this?

Well whatever. It was a heat of the moment post when I was pissed. I should have just brushed it off.

I had too.

bahahahaha

Clearly the kid who built the bonfire in '99 failed at jenga and probably shouldn't be in charge of anything remotely building related.

Never heard of this before. Sooo.... they made a giant pile of logs and it fell on them? GG. Also wernt you like 8yrs old when this happened?

Hmmm, so we take as much timber as we can and we haphazardly stack it 5 and a half stories into the Texas sky, douse it with jet fuel and light that shit up? Sounds like a solid plan. Solid as a rock.... oh wait...

lmao omega and reily that was good :) but i heard of it in like 00' when our school (hs) wanted to do a bonfire and the school said no cause of the A&M "tragedy" more like lol ur a fuckn n00b lrn2build

It was on prodigy and Gman got killed and said "F*CK you why dont you go build yourself a bonfire" then he explained to Loke (he being a Norwegian and all, probably never made it to the News over there) the story behind it, then I guess this kid got offended or something

lol, that explains alot.

lmao that makes it even fuckn better that Gman said it lol

LOL

Lol damn, something tells me this guy isn't coming back.

I guess they don't teach architecture or structural engineering at A&M. At 40ft tall unless you built it to implode like a building, the shit is going to fall over when the bottom burns out.


Oh ya what's an Aggie?
