What is a “Burner Account”?

A “burner account” is a temporary or anonymous profile created to hide the true identity of the person posting on the account to keep the account activity from linking back to their personal identity or primary profile.

How do we know that this is David Crowley’s burner account? Well, he tells us:

(Dirt McGirk, X, 5/10/10)

And if “DC” isn’t enough to make it obvious – he also provides verification on his date of birth to corroborate (The post was made on Monday, May 10, 2010. Friday, May 14, 2010 was David Crowley’s 24th birthday):

(Dirt McGirk, X, 5/10/10)

So, what other thoughts did David Crowley have for us on his old “burner” account?
He was apparently having difficulty locating his bong in 2012:

Apparently he found it. More apparent drug references (#gottabesmoking):

Crowley had thoughts on fatherhood…deep thoughts:

(Dirt McGirk, X, 6/20/10)

And another (sic):

(Dirt McGirk, X, 6/20/10)

Who knows what Crowley was trying to say in this post or if he was trying to sound homophobic, but it sure doesn’t seem consistent with his current position on LGBTQ:

Appears Crowley has less regard for cows than he does pigs…and even less regard for police:

(Dirt McGirk, X, 5/14/10)

No idea what this is supposed to mean:

(Dirt McGirk, X, 7/26/10)

Or this:

(Dirt McGirk, X, 8/8/12)

He’s right. We clearly don’t know the real David Crowley…or at least we didn’t until his burner account was discovered.
