Hi all,
The Filth Wizard here.
Many years back, Season 18 to be precise, the Las Vegas Bears kicked off as a new franchise bringing together a mix of new and old posters but one new light shone brighter than any other - brahj. This Chewbacca faced young man eased into the league with suitable amounts of vim and vigour, winning the EKA and cementing himself as one of the finest posters ever to grace the league.
I fell in love with brahj almost immediately and while it took a fairly long time for us to unite on the qooty field our collective Sweet FA careers met up pretty quickly - he was the perfect co-host on the Sweet FA podcast with an infectious laugh and I miss the occasional catch up beer on a Friday at the Corner Hotel, to laugh about the Sweet FA. He's an OG Boys Club member. He's one of the smartest and funniest posters in the league, not afraid of #scandal and sports an abrasive edge that has grown over time. On field he's just as decorated - Mobbs Medal. 4 x All-SFA. There are Hall Of Famers that have achieved less than him.
Now brahj runs out for his 200th match clearly I would love him to celebrate with a win (wink simmers). Here are some testimonials.

Being the Sweet FA father of brahj it has been a pleasure watching him grow from rookie in the sign up sporting an avatar of a wookiee playing a saxophone to becoming one of the funnier and more talented producers of material the league has seen. Well done son, daddy loves you, 200 games is a good achievement and you also have a bunch of other accolades.
Cheers *raises alcoholic drink and sips it*

Ah Brahj, what can I say about him that won't come out during his inevitable trial?
One that always shied away from controversy and never, ever saw a chance to take a pot shot, it must be said that Brahj will always be remembered for his on field actions only.
So congratulations on 200 goals, possessions or whatever it is that Filthy has deemed worthy enough to PM me.

I first met brahj when I was a professor at MIT. I had put a rather difficult maths equation on a public whiteboard as a challenge to my graduate students, which no one could solve. One day, to my absolute shock, it had been anonymously solved. I replaced this with an even harder challenge, and caught brahj (then a janitor) in the act of solving it. The next day he was arrested in a gang fight, and he agreed to forgo his jail time to study mathematics under my supervision. The rest, as they say, is history.
brahj is everything that I want to be; quick-witted and sharp-tongued, yet also charming. And a fantastic hugger. Congrats on 200, big fella.

Dearest brahj,
I remember you from the days of yore as a young rapscallion that quickly grew into an established poster amongst the league. You have many qualities, I shall go about naming some.
Congratulations on the eve of your 200th game fellow ex-captain. May your next 200 be better and involve fewer bombers posters in general.
Love

Dearest brahj,
I remember you from the days of yore as a young rapscallion that quickly grew into an established poster amongst the league. You have many qualities, I shall go about naming some.
- You are good at melting
- You are even better at causing others melt.
- Suspected true leader of the BC, much to the chagrin of pants and spook.
- Your #scandal thread is one for the ages.
- Your underwear smells of rich mahogany.
- You will soon pass pantskyle in games played despite starting many seasons after him.
- Your beard is glorious.
Congratulations on the eve of your 200th game fellow ex-captain. May your next 200 be better and involve fewer bombers posters in general.
Love
