This is funny to me, because I didn't know they were purported to be related, but I couldn't stand either one of them. Even since Peek started with the "if you knew what I know" and "you civilians couldn't handle knowing what I know" and "things may happen" crap regarding potential terrorist activities on some thread last year, I knew "she" was full of crap. Blew her own military horn too much for someone actually in the military performing any real function. Whole thing just reeked of "please pay attention to me".

Always thought "Old Sarge" was a complete idiot ever since we had someone on here asking about the differences between the military because their child wanted to join. Some of us were steering them away from the Marines "if living conditions were a factor", and "Old Sarge" had a hissy fit, claiming the Marines had every bit of good living conditions as the other services. I didn't really call him on it too hard, because I figured heck, he's just defending his branch of service. Then, a month later I find out the moron hadn't "served" in the military since the friggn' 70's! Like he would have a clue what modern living comparisons were.

May sound cold, but there was no sympathy posting from me when the putz "died".

Sometimes you just get a feeling about people. Guess I was right on both counts for once (and that don't happen often! Wink)
So we could start a brand new internet game (with scoop's permission)...somebody could log on as an imposter and see how long it takes some of you sleuths to figure out who it actually is. The mystery poster could try and act just the opposite. AD could be rational Wink, I could be intellegent....and so on. Or you could try to throw everybody off, by posting like someone else......

If you don't stop talking about "we", I'm going to freak out.

I figured that now that you all know that I'm just a compilation of 4 different posters I may as well start speaking as "we". Or would that be 'we'. Or would it just be we.

Weeeeeee!!!

I kept Juan Zamboni going strong for about 5 seconds.

Just try and top that.
Kudos to the detectives who unearthed the Old Gasbag/New Gasbag dichotomy a couple months ago. I won't name names because those discussions were via PM, but this board is way too full of extremely intelligent, investigatively-minded individuals for ANYBODY to get away with such a ruse for very long.

The only reason it took this long to expose this fraudulent a$$clown is because the emotional nature of the whole sick "Sarge is Dead" scenario required delicate handling.

"Sarge" is in dire need of therapy. I can think of a couple real Marines who'd like to have a chat with "him" about integrity, or "his" lack thereof.

It sure fooled me, but I tend to be a little too trusting (according to my wife).

With few exceptions, I take a person at his/her word until it's proven to be wrong and for the most part that has served me well over the years.

I think Old Sarge/DD must have an unhappy life to put forth such a guise.

While I have only met one person on this forum (we've become friends and have gone to Packer games together 4 times now), I think fondly of most and I'm truly disappointed to hear this news.

That sounds like a challenge...I'm gonna log on as somebody new at noon today, and I bet none of you can figure out its me.
Good recap of the computer "coincidence" Afros. The other one that we compared notes about was that unusual macro-biotic diet, or whatever it was.

Funny, but Devil Dog went on and on about the foods he eats and the preparation and the kinds of things he won't eat, and it was exactly the way Old Sarge described the same diet some time ago - right down to the "I know this sounds a little strange" kind of asides.

Then, as if to cover himself, he added a couple of days later that he was the one who introduced Old Sarge to the diet.

There were a couple of times he slipped on something by saying something that Old Sarge had said, and then covered himself by saying that he and Old Sarge had talked about that subject, or that he had been lurking a couple of years ago when Old Sarge posted that...

I'm going to miss the daily clue hunt.

Luke = Peekaboo = Old Sarge = Devil Dog = Lazarus = Fake Military Loser Guy


I went to Christian school for 9 years, it was a joke. Didn't work too well I guess .


I thought it was really funny.....Well done FavreRules.
This is really weird. I post on a lot of mesage boards, but I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like this Sarge/Peekaboo/Jake thing before.

Forgive my naivete, but I'm wondering how far back people have traced this. What I mean is, has anyone figured out who the first incarnation of this persona was? Was there someone who got flamed off the board years ago, and is doing this for revenge or something like that? Or is there some other reason this goofball decided to plague this particular board? Because it seems like a fair amount of time and energy went into this project, and I can't figure out why someone would think it was worth all that.

Disclaimer: I am not Sarge, Peekaboo, Colonel Jake, or Devil Dog, nor am I related to any of them, and I have never been in the Marines or the Navy, flown a helicopter or an F-18, fought in Iraq or Korea, kicked a puppy, or rooted for the Minnesota Vikings. Just for the record. In case anyone was wondering.

Good question. If it's not, it should be, but then they'd have to quit selling surplus fatigues to kids, wouldn't they?

I don't doubt it served in some capacity at some time but could well have been confined to mess hall or supply depot duty for all we'll know.

I've had the good fortune to meet a number of combat veterans, from PFCs all the way up to Lt Colonel. To a man, they'll tell you that when a guy beats his chest and blusters about all the "action" he saw, 99% of the time, it's completely BS and he likely never got within 10 miles of it.

From my dictionary: Lazarus 1.The brother of Mary and Martha whom Jesus raised from the dead. John 11:1-44. 2. The diseased beggar in the parable of the rich man and the beggar. Luke 16:19-31.

DD ... Cool
AFROS, as to the similiarty in the posts about computers. . . . . if 2 people that were in the same branch of the service, about the same age, knew the family, talked like each other. . . . . . . .doncha think they might have the same computer setup?

I mean, I'm sure that my setup is the same as someone that I knew from the service. I could probably find a Vietnam vet who has a Dell with Windows XP!!!

I've been on the Internet for a long time (I was in forums before there was even an Internet) and I've seen cases worse than this. I mean, I've seen people hire lawyers to go after each other. But I've never seen anyone be able to pull off a hoax for as long or so it as well as this person did.
