2481668, 10 years ago today, we set sail upon Lake Minnetonka
Posted by Marauder21, Tue Oct-06-15 08:28 AM
Did you guys realize that today is officially the ten year anniversary of the 2005 Vikings bye week, aka SEX BOAT?

For those who need a recap, what's wrong with you? This was literally our generation's JFK/moon landing combined, only on a boat. But a bunch of underachieving football players brought some hookers on a charter boat and then had sex with the hookers on the boat. That's basically it, but it was something you had to be there for, man.

There was also a bunch of drama on the boards about it, because some threads got locked and people just went NUTS. Did Zeno get banned during that time? I think he did, shit just wasn't the same. It was bonkers.

I assume ESPN is using today as an opportunity to announce their next 30 for 30 "When Lake Minnetonka was Valhalla: The Great Sex Boat of 2005" (directed by Albert Magnoli) later, but let's use this as a space to reminisce, talk about our favorite conspiracy theories, and talk about how the Sex Boat changed your life personally.
2481671, Fred Smoot did a Reddit AMA a while back
Posted by Marauder21, Tue Oct-06-15 08:35 AM
Where he described Bryant McKinnie putting a girl on the bar and going down on her. He called it "running through the okra patch."

Is there ANY doubt Bryant McKinnie is/was the physical embodiment of DA YOO in the 21st century? Only thing that could've been better is if he was wearing his full length man fur while doing it (note, if he wasn't, don't tell me.)

Didn't Jacoby Jones get clocked over the head w/ a bottle from a peeler on his party bus a while back?

2481679, According to Wiki, he's still married
Posted by Marauder21, Tue Oct-06-15 08:42 AM
So obviously, he wasn't doing anything. He was ENGAGED, stop trying to get him in trouble.
2481678, Stupid okp

Froze The Vikings Sex Boat alias just because it hasn't been used in ten years. The nerve.

Side note: oh my God I feel old. I remember okp things from ten plus years ago.

Actually it's more like 15 plus years. Shout out to Tinky Winky and Lazer Tagging Black Lillies.

I am so old.

Did the ban live forever ever?

That's pretty harsh if that's the case. I almost want to see what was posted to cause a lifetime ban if that's the case.
2481686, don't be ridiculous...
Posted by CyrenYoung, Tue Oct-06-15 08:53 AM
..no one has ever been banned because of their antics on OKS.

he's just exaggerating for the sake of revisionist history (poast).

Posted by Frank Longo, Tue Oct-06-15 11:35 AM
... he never would've been banned.

But he didn't. So he did. Sigh.
2481763, I think I already know the answer to this question
Posted by Numba_33, Tue Oct-06-15 11:35 AM
but were you the moderator back then?
2481851, yes, and no one has ever been banned on OKS...
Posted by CyrenYoung, Tue Oct-06-15 04:53 PM
..contrary to popular belief, there have only been a handful of people banned from OKP.

yes, there have been occasions where we've put people on ice (a temporary timeout), and even those incidents were well after initial warnings were ignored. anyone posting on okp about how they were once banned is lying to you.

2481687, he wasn't lifetime banned, I think he went into boycott mode
Posted by bshelly, Tue Oct-06-15 08:54 AM
i don't remember the details, other than the mods felt we were getting too off topic in too many posts and people through a shit fit, in part because some of the legendary aliases from GD showed up and helped us party. If someone else remembers more of the details, I'd love a refresher, because the partying and subsequent backlash was high message board comedy.
2481691, He came back a couple times after that
Posted by Marauder21, Tue Oct-06-15 08:59 AM
I think he just sort of left on his own eventually.
2481848, Zeno was on here not that long ago.
Posted by Orbit_Established, Tue Oct-06-15 04:47 PM

He popped in, said his piece, kept it moving

Dude was an asshole but we all were back then,

2481690, What happened to all the Grey Goose on board?
Posted by Marauder21, Tue Oct-06-15 08:58 AM
Reportedly, a player (Nate Burleson? Probably Nate Burleson) yelled at one of the bartenders for running out of Grey Goose. In that time, amateur Sex Boat sleuths have come up with a number of theories as to what happened. Some of the most popular:

-Koren Robinson drank it all. PRO: He was a raging drunk who had just been cut from Seattle for raging drunkenness, who else would do it? CON: He had just signed with the team and may not have been close enough with anyone to get invited. also, 05 was the best season of his career, which completely runs counter to everyone else on the boat and how shitty they were that season.

-Pat Williams snuck it all away under his belly fat. PRO: Easily could have fit 4-5 bottles just in his stomach, and when you add his neck and arm folds in there? Very plausible. CON: Or was that Kevin Williams? Or Moe Williams?

-A backup running back stole them all to save on his upcoming nuptials. PRO: Weddings are expensive, anywhere you can cut costs could be huge. CON: He was engaged, stop snitchin.

-Troy Williamson broke all of the bottles. PRO: Grey Goose bottles are slightly football-shaped, and Williamson's inability to hold on to anything resembling a football with his tiny infant hands is well documented. CON: Unknown if this extends to things he's picking up from a bar or only things thrown to him.

VERDICT: Matt Birk probably drank it and then yelled at everyone for being abortion-loving gay Mexicans or something. Fuck Matt Birk.

Posted by Numba_33, Tue Oct-06-15 11:38 AM
this website and message board are as old as the Things Fall Apart album. If memory serves me right, this website was established as promotion for that album.

Kind of surprising that album wasn't reprinted recently for vinyl to celebrate its anniversary. Would have been nice to cop some of the different album covers in larger vinyl cover format.
2481768, that's how a found out about this site....

Posted by Marauder21, Tue Oct-06-15 10:23 AM
Purposely uninvited? Did he decline because it wouldn't work with his "system?" Worried that there might be consensual sex around him and didn't want to get grossed out?

2481757, Wow, it's already been 10
