I heard, was always a straight shooter with me and that's all I ever asked buddy.
The name Reggie Essent was conceived in Asgard in Troll Valhalla at the time Cosmic Outpost was a new board of newbs, morons and Old Yahoo Refugees.
Snoop Dog was an Admin at the new CO along with Farmer and High Flying Brian -- without the knowledge of the CO Staff, I joined CO as Reggie_Essent and immediately proclaimed that I was taking the place over, would soon be the Owner, and everyone should bow to me and suck up.
This went on for weeks and no one knew that Reggie was me or I was Reggie because everyone knew me then by a different name.
Anyway, after the proper time of suspense-building, my inside dude Snoop flipped the switch on, of course, April 1st of whatever year that was and for a half day I was Lord Regent and Master of Cosmic Outpost and I pressed a lot of buttons on my suddenly new Admin panel and pissed a lot of people off.
Snoop wasn't admin of CO anymore after that for some reason.
Good times!
