You ever open RM in the early morning and see that Bammer has the most recent posts in like the 58 current active threads? Then you have witnessed Bammer's nocturnal emissions. It's a curious phenomenon that I've been studying closely for some time now, and one I think we should all talk about.

I’m old enough remember what happened the last time there were Bammer threads in GD

He’s in the latest time zone. I used to wonder why the fuck he was up so late the I’d realize he’s 2 hours behind me.

Yeah no real mystery here: PST + twins + constant legal proceedings + he and his wife still b*ng on the regular. Bambam time doesn’t come around until we’re all asleep.

Yes, less astute minds might think that's all there is to it. But one of the hallmarks of Bammer's nocturnal emission posting is that it seems to be driven by a compulsion to see his name on the "Most recent post" column in as many threads and subforums as possible rather than a desire to engage in conversation, so you often end up with obscure threads bumped with comments such as "I don't know who this is" or "Did this ever happen" or sometimes just "Beer"

But how does he pick which threads to bump, often buried deep in the back-pages of the subforum? It's a complex ritual that is worth examining

He does it on purpose. He likes to see his name hundreds of times. He just bumps random threads to say meaningless things most of the time. He likes to see

It's troubling!

I'm not bothered by it. I like it. But I think it's time we gave it a name, and I like the name I came up with.

Great thread!

I could share the answer but that would ruin all the fun

I for one am having a blast

Isn’t there an unanswered posts feature he could be leveraging?

Or maybe just a good ol’ vanity search once he’s a few bourbons deep.

Ouch nobody else acknowledged the thread title so you had to do it yourself

Wasn't really waiting for acknowledgment. I am proudly my own biggest fan

Speaking of tooting oneself, I co-hosted a Webinar on Zoom earlier today.

Email follow up from the co-host: “Thanks for your help today, Bammer. I’m always impressed by your public speaking ability.”

He called you Bammer?!

Very cool of you to assume it’s a He.
