A thank you to my fellow BE members

Look, if you're looking for a MMA news filled article, this isn't it. What this is, is a thank you to all of you.
Recently I have been going through some personal troubles (girl left me for a guy who was "just a friend", changing schools and careers, moving back home and more) and just been kind of been having a rough time with things.
So why am I spilling my woes on this post to you guys? The answer is because whenever things would get me down, I'd go on Bloody Elbow and get my fill of MMA news, but I realized how much you guys would make me laugh with some of your hilarious and ridiculous comments. Whether it's Deo posting some random yet strangely appropriate gif, or MostDiabolicalHater bringing the hate with the comedy. It's thanks to all of you that I could just forget about what's going on and just laugh with some people who love the same sport that I do.
I'm not expecting to get rec'd or get 100 comments on this, I just wanted to let all of you know that you've helped me get through some tough times.
Thank you guys (and the occasional gals)

Michael Robinson leads the Seahawks in completion percentage, yards-per-attempt, and QB rating.
Glad I could help in some way. Bounce back, man.
and wait…..we have gals here???? I always assumed it was something like this:
I could be sitting here with just pee stains on my rug.
well i know one pops in and our occasionally, but if i could picture Bloody Elbow as a place, it’d be like a Rat Pack style bar and pool place. Classy, yet getting shitfaced, proving that we are elitest obviously.
Also, Luke is the bartender, his beard requires him to be

Let me just say..
Luke Thomas is something like Tom Cruise in Cocktail. Except he was a success from the start. Plus he would never chase a broad like a sucker. Basically, he’s Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca. Only he wouldn’t have bothered running guns to the Ethiopians. Nah. He would have just slapped the shit out of the Axis powers himself. Word…

Also, as far as the girl, just be glad you found out her true character now rather than later on down the road. My cousin’s wife had sex with another man, and he stayed with her because of their 3 daughters. Yes, he lives with 4 women. It could always be worse.

When I’m in a bad mood, I also very frequently find myself in a BE comment section. I didn’t know that MMA fans were actually intelligent until signing up here, as well as sharing in a lot of the same type of humor as me. I hope things get better for you…as Dory from Finding Nemo would say… “Just Keep Swimming.”
Fitch's only fan. It's lonely, being me.
When someone is suffering, I like to read them quotes from Fight Club
“Another way this Saturday night could be worse, Tyler tells me in the Impala, is the brown recluse spider. When it bites you, it injects not just a venom but a digestive enzyme or acid that dissolves the tissue around the bite, literally melting your arm or your leg or your face.”
Feel better?
