The sad reality is that many of the people I came in with, and got to know, have stopped posting here. As has been mentioned already, I think, part of the issue has to do with changing internet fashions, as much as anything.


Here, here (alternatively: there, there?) . Hearkening to a common ...

Any chance we can conflate "not wearing pants" with "celebrating Valentine's day?" If so, I'm *all* over it. :mischief:

Are you implying that we are lacking good ol' fashioned spammers?

"If you build it, they will come?" :rolleyes: :)

Childish Kevin Costner references aside, as someone who's bounced in / out of SYM over the past few years, I've got to say it's truly refreshing to see not only the active ...

A wee bit late, but - glad you had a wonderful birthday, DW! Here's to hoping the many to come are just as wonderful!

For some inextricable reason, I have the sneaking suspicion that a comment on American football would leave me in the vast minority here, eh?

A proper cellar-temperature beer, though? That's a notion every man, woman, and (suitably aged) child should be able to get behind, no matter the sport.

Eating peanut butter with a spoon, cutting your fingernails (feels SO good afterwords!), making espresso from freshly ground coffee beans - and, of course, the obligatory "sex" reference!

Now if only there was some way to combine these that didn't require an unnerving level of flexibility...

3. Being gay makes you get killed by Alan Rickman. As killing people makes you go to jail this means being gay is a leading cause of Alan Rickman potentially going to jail.

A month slow and a dollar short, but I literally came close to relieving myself when I read this, Odie - hilarious! Can't ...

Police: Couple nurtured virtual child while real baby starved - CNN.com

Seoul, South Korea (CNN) -- Police have arrested a South Korean couple whose toddler starved to death while they were raising a virtual child online, authorities said.
The couple fed their 3-month-old daughter once a day ...

If gin was an acceptable remedy for the bubonic plague, I'm all for vodka becoming the modern-day counterpart to the flu!

Personally, I prefer pancakes.

I'd add more, but the truth of my remark is self-evident .

Little-known fact: Jefferson actually proposed the addition of a fourth branch to the US national government, entitled "IHOP."

As if any further proof of the vast superiority of pancakes over waffles was ...

Tali, when she sends out her combat drone: "Go for the optics! Go for the optics!" Which is an unsubtle nod to the classic line, "Go for the eyes". ;)

A legitimate spit-take moment - I was sure I had misheard, at first! :)

I've got to give some love to Mordin's "Hold the line!" reference ...

I wonder what the etiquette is on purchasing a digital prostitute a valentine's day gift?

I like my coffee like I like my women - covered in bees.

Actually, a dash of skim milk for the brewed-at-home kind (never can get the temperature right!), or black, if we're buying in public. Must keep up macho appearances, after all!

It's far, far cheaper to use the patented "run and hide" method, I must say!

Another concept of baseball I have trouble understanding is the "Errors" concept. Is it purely statistically? Or does it have scoring meaning because otherwise, why go to such great lengths of assigning errors when somebody mess up?

Although getting assigned an "Error" on a play doesn't directly ...

<snip>the only one which really stood out so far are the Cardinals which played some good matches I saw.

Oh Xan. As fantastic a player as Albert Pujols is, and as much as I love Mark DeRosa, who they just acquired...I think, as a much-beleaguered Cubs fan, I'm morally required to hate you now ...

Quite the addicting pastime, Xan - glad to hear you're enjoying the game! :) I'm curious - what teams' games have you been receiving/following? Just don't let yourself get sucked into the terrifying realm of "Fantasy" baseball - the depths of those waters are best left untested! :D

@jkindlers - I ...

You see, this is why it's good not to have a TV :)

Would that that were enough! :( Not that I'm an enormous fan of commercial radio to begin with, but I'd dearly appreciate it if "Smooth Criminal" and the likes weren't completely inundating every last radio station's playlist while I drive to ...

Yeah, Dem. Do it. We're the cool Mods in this thread: we wouldn't just casually ban you... ;)

...Not permanently, at least.

If you're the "cool" paren...er, Mods, does that make Fable and Xan the hard-nosed, disciplinarian ones? I hope we aren't going to have to start finishing our homework ...

Imagine that - a thread started by AC and featuring the likes of BloodStalker and DW sinking into depravity. Who could've seen that one coming?
