No shit.

I just realized my real life legacy, such as it is, might be misconstrued if my descendants ever go slumming and discover what I posted here.

It's in my will to delete my browser history and erase my surly account. That person is well compensated to ensure that nobody ever knows I ever was associated with you assholes.

13-0 Branding Iron died last month.   Not a part of this community, but a pretty foundational player in the beginnings of all of this on the old "GoBig12" site; along with a few others who are gone.   No, I'm not "aggy"; nobody argued more with him than I did, but I thought that this should be posted here.

His death explains a lot with regard to the turn in aggy fortunes.  We're still over here waiting on Mack to kick it.

Was that the really annoying guy from the original Texags?   How old was he?

He may be a perfectly fine son/husband/father/friend in real life, but he was an insufferable douchebag on the internet, at least back in the Slocum/Fran/Sherman days when I actually read texags every now and then. I haven’t been on that site for almost a decade.

I'd say 59 or 60 as he was 6 or 7 class years ahead of me.  Turned out we were in the same frat, he at aggy and me at Texas we knew some of the same people in the late eighties/early nineties.

I was so permabanned from Texags that he would "DM" me (or PM or whatever it was) and it would go to my email.

So, we kind of kept up through the years, maybe twice a year. 

Had by far the most politically "liberal" sensibilities of anyone posting there, then. 

I actually started communicating with him pre-Texags/Hornfans days.   It was the old "Big 12" board with PhxHorn and some of those posters.   

I was "TheThreeYardOut" on Texags and they talk shit about me still, but Branding Iron 13-0....he was so good at getting under skin -  that he helped create the genre in certain respects as it came to the "shit talk" boards btw us and them.

Super bright guy and was more than knowledgeable about the construction of defenses.

He cared for his terminally ill parents late into life, as their primary care giver in a giant spread in Memorial in Houston and after they both died, hed seemed to follow. 

Sounds like he was a good guy.  Annoying as fuck, but RIP 13-0 B.I.

Not sure about "the only" but he was a funny dude.  No doubt. 

oh wow, i remember branding iron from GoBigXII boards! and The Warzone. he was the curse, wasn't he? everything he'd predict for aggy would then backfire.

man, i can't believe i've been talking shit online for almost 25 years.

i don't see how anybody here would even know if i died. i kinda like that idea 🤘

Wasn't he the one who was always wanting people to meet him IRL so they could fight, like in parking garages and shit, and none of these fights ever happened?

@immamac,so one time I was shit talking Dr. Beeper addressing him as Rex and you came from above and said, "He is not Rex".  You were lying? Did he put you up to lying?

I'm just curious because you usually don't step into our slap fights. Spill please.

When you let someone online rile you up so much you want to fight them irl, you’ve already lost. We all may have been there but there’s a point you have to walk away from the keyboard.

The only time you should let someone online get you hot and bothered to the point you take it offline, is if you two intend to fuck.

So what is it @immamac

You gonna stand by saying Beeper wasn't Rex?

So there’s more than one obnoxious oil and gas guy in this world? Who would have thunk?

I was shit talking his cockroach loving ass and calling him Rex. Then all of a sudden, Immamac breaks in to say he is not Rex. Sooooo, I believed him even though I didn't quite swallow it since he seemed like the exact same asshole to me.  But okay, Rex Krammer the handle is dead and now Dr. Beeper is dead and wiped off the internets.

Wait, what? Don’t bullshit us. He certainly alluded to being Rex. Come on man.
I don't care if people want their posts deleted, it's your choice.

Had a bet with that guy on Texags years ago and used to remember his name. Dude could talk internet shit like a pro. What killed him? RIP.

Serious question---the poster Rex Kramer didn't really die in real life, did he?

I've seen it mentioned various times in different threads that Rex died a few years ago. I always thought Beeper was rex too if I'm being honest though lol 

Shit, I had no idea.  Didn't see it posted in other threads.  I actually exchanged emails in real life with that guy, stuff about oil (I can't remember his real name, or I'd look up his obituary).  None of my business, but how did he die?  If I recall correctly, he was younger than me, or about same age.  Damn.  

Edited by Lobo

I really don't think Rex died.  His username was "killed" and Dr Beeper was created.  For whatever reason, immamac has decided to go along with the ruse but there was no doubt that RK was DB.

Your cunning attempt to trick me, ma'am?

Wait, there's speculation Rex actually died? I missed this.

Rex was one of the biggest douchebags on surly. On par with Rocko and Bedouin. He hated that people thought he was a douche, so he asked to be deleted and scrubbed. Then he tried to come back as a more likable persona (dr. Beeper) but he couldn’t help himself and everyone saw through it. Ended up getting banned because he was a hateful douche. Now he is portrhouse or some shit.

I used to post some on the Texags rivalries board in the early 00s.  There was some characters over there.  I am said to here that he passed. He was hilarious.

For such a douche, he really really cares about rep. Not just his own, but yours, mine, everybody's. More than once he has called out the boards because he hates me, and yet my rep is higher than his, and he thinks y'all are idiots for not liking him more. And this goes back long before the Charlie Strong wars. He's just never liked me. We are kind of bizarro versions of one another. I am Houston and he is Dallas. I think our dads were in the same frat at the same time (Sig Ep, UT early and mid 60s) and my dad has always said "the Dallas bunch" took over and ruined Sig Ep, his dad presumably being one of them, so I guess this goes back a generation, with our dads also hating each other. And we were at UT and he was SAE and I was Kappa Sig and we, as frats, did not get along at the time even a little bit.

But we both dip on airplanes and I agree with a lot of his football takes. I've probably pos-repped about 5 or 10 of them recently, but he never returns the favor, even if I know he agrees with what I am saying.

It's sad, really. He only wants to be loved but he is incapable of not being a total prick to everyone.

I thought Rex said he went to SMU or TCU or something like that?  I am confused.  At least he’s not dead, always freaks me out when people around my age die young.

He went to TCU and he's not dead in the literal real world sense.  

So he went to UT and then died.  But now he's alive and a TCU alumni?  Got it.  

And I thought I was fucking weird.
