Good movies though I only saw it once back in the 90’s. Don’t remember a thing.

I know the movie backwards and forwards (hence my namesake), but missed the reference entirely because I’ve never actually seen what Chinese finger cuffs look like.

Actual footage of me finally figuring it out.

Since you brought it up, I’ll add some context to the first purge/exodus of Grassy during the above time period.

I joined Grassy at its infancy in the winter of 1996/1997. The URL was Grassy.com from the start until the migration to Canestime.com after the Scout acquisition.

Eye of the Hurricane was the banner/name until Canestime, but the underlying URL was always Grassy.com until a year or so after it changed its name to Canestime. One could find the site using either URL during that overlap.

I was a Mod from 2000-2004.
The first spinoff was Banner’s Canesoverhere and then Adrian started another spinoff that lasted until the 4th quarter of the 2005 LSU game, when he shut it down.

Both Banner and Adrian were Admins and left because of the Coker war that was heating up.

At the same time there was a power struggle throughout the site.

Myself and Pentagoncane had started the War and Politics Board with Bryan Knolls permission, to get politics out of the Lounge. This was immediately after 9/11 and politics was heated in the lounge.

Knoll became less and less involved with the site after it moved to Scout, so when Banner and Adrian left, the Admin vacancies were filled with people not because of next man up, but because of similar opinions with a vocal group of Moderators and an Admin.

This caused a rift between the Moderators. A few heavy handed Mods started censuring and harassing posters on W&P and in the Lounge.

This caused a large number of posters to go to Canesoverhere and Adrian’s site.
For a while I posted on all three sites, then two, until Canestime got unbearable.

I started Canesmutiny in 2006 adding posters from Canestime and Canesoverhere, but I never intended it to be a content site, just a safe haven for Canes Fans tired of the drama on the other two sites.

I was actually banned from Canestime two years after my last post, because a couple moderators would lurk my site and report back our discussions of the shythole Canestime had become.

When WEZ was formed, it was the death knell for my site, but I didn’t really care, as I never started it for the money, just to bullshyt with friends I’d made on the other three sites.
I let it run until 2017ish then turned it off. Took a hiatus from posting until last year when I found CIS.

Love it here. It has most of the good qualities of Grassy, without some of the later bad qualities.
