I'm relatively new to this forum and I've seen this phrase used periodically of someone earning the "Full Banjeaux." I gather this to be a hat tip of respect when someone posts something (or several things) noteworthy, i.e. Selma's recent series on BCS poll controversies, and I wondered if you could enlighten me as to the phrase's origins and if I'm correct about it's context?

There are many posters that can provide even more context but a poster that passed away named banjeaux used to like, thank, and dislike posts a lot. It is a term of respect for the post and or just showing that you extra enjoyed it and sometimes loved to hate it, so on.
 
There was a poster, by the name of "banjeaux," now deceased, I fear, who, when he found a post he particularly liked would "thanks," "like," and "dislike" the post. That was "the full banjeaux."
 
I'm sure others can give more detailed accounts of its origin, ahem, Selma, ahem, but it's basically an homage to a former poster by the name of Banjeaux who - when the thank, like, and dislike buttons first appeared - would regularly click all three buttons for a post which he greatly appreciated, despite the obvious inconsistency.

Since then, extraordinary posts are often shown respect by having posters click all three buttons, giving the poster a "full Banjeaux" for their efforts.

You're new here (at least posting wise) so let me give you a bit of the lowdown - the other posters here have already done a well nigh fabulous job.

I never totally caught onto the whole 'full banjeaux' until after he passed away. He was pretty much (and I don't mean this in a bad way at all) a rather old school ultra-conservative Christian type. I did notice that he had a tendency to like/thank/dislike a number of my posts, but I didn't know we had a name for it.

Earle is correct in that banjeaux posted here about three hours or so before he passed away and - literally -nobody here knew there was anything wrong with him. Probably the two most disconcerting deaths I've lived through with people on this board were bayoutider (a late ** veteran and labor guy from Lake Charles, LA named Rich Heaton, who was originally from Gadsden and grew up with Danny Ford) and banjeaux. I met bayoutider on August 19, 2001 in Lake Chuck, and I believe he used to sort of serve as a co-moderator here with Earle (Tide-HSV). He passed away right before the 2011 season, and the grill 'n' chill is named after him because he used to post on game mornings (pregame) about what insane outfit his dog was wearing and what he was grilling that day.

Every once in awhile folks will make reference to 'the full banjeaux,' and I'm not quite certain what it means in terms of literalness since one of the things is "disagree." I've always assumed it kinda stands for, "nailed it" but the memorial thing is done on his behalf on occasion. Most of us RARELY use it, which makes it special.

Just to illumine you a little more as to who is here (and these folks won't mind):

crimsonaudio has won multiple Grammy awards as a record producer

Bama in Boston has worked in DC and has known folks on Capitol Hill, I believe he also had a law class under Dershowitz at Harvard - he's also an author of books about ghosts (I met him October 27, 2012, at pregame for the MSU game).

Tide-HSV is the patient, correcting, grandparent among us, but don't get on his bad side. He's fair, and he's fair enough to solicit the views of other moderators for input regarding handling a poster, too. Think Coach Bryant who both loved AND suspended Joe Namath and Kenny Stabler. He's also an attorney so don't try to argue legalities with him - either law or here.

My memory is somewhat the stuff of legend here (more myth than reality). I'm one of a handful of people officially confirmed as possessing a Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM) and appeared on "60 Minutes" in 2014. There's a clip starring me on You Tube (I'm at work and can't link it) if you google 60 minutes grudges, and I'm the guy in the red shirt. (Note that I've lost 102 pounds and kept off 87 since then).

Welcome.

BiB is back in DC now. He got tired of how we do things in Montgomery and moved back to DC. He's greatly missed.

NYBF was another legendary former poster who has done all of these things, and so much more. I'm pretty sure I read that he roundhouse kicked Chuck Norris into submission on two occasions, and he had actual legal standing against Dos Equis over their wrongful attribution of the title Most Interesting Man in the World.

That might be worthy of a full Banjeaux, but I wouldn't want you to get a NYBF complex.
 
He is still missed and his death shocked us all. I don't post much but respect and loved Banj and have a lot of respect for the mods that keep this place running.

He also had a pet dinosaur in his basement, but only those worthy enough were allowed to see it. Sadly, as NYBF was his own standard, none of us were worthy enough.

He and I once shared a glass of honey mead. Of course I couldn't keep up. But before I passed out, he explained how he once opened a fifth dimensional tesseract (probably how he got the dinosaur), traveled back to Eden, and mated continuously with Eve for a week without food or water. The human race was spawned thusly.
 
BayouTide had died and NYBF had gone to wherever he went before I joined here. But just from occasional references on here, I feel I have an insight into who they were.
