Don’t make me quote Mike + the Mechanics lyrics…because I will do it.
so… It’s 11:30, and my neighbor is vacuuming.
That sucks.
Get it? Get it?
Sheesh, tough crowd.
I tell ya, I tell ya…I get no respect.
Eureka.
You might want to dust off some of your classic jokes instead.
You’re in Missouri…shoot him.
About two weeks ago, this bitch’s son had a party every night of the week. I was stressed out with school. I felt like shooting them. The little fuckers threw cigarette butts on my hood one night in retaliation.
I have to say stories like this remind me why I don’t miss apartment life…I hope you get some peace and quiet soon.
There are ways of avenging your hood.
Like?
Jack up his car; remove each wheel; put it below his car; lower his car onto the wheels. Bonus points if you also deflate the tires.
Get a photo of him. Print it out on a piece of paper with the caption: “Recognize me? If we’ve had sex, get yourself to a doctor asap. I’ve been diagnosed with the clap. Sorry.” Post it all over the neighborhood.
Get some plaster and cover the doorway to his apartment.
You know that cat that’s imprinted on you? Find where it poops. Dig up the poop and cram as much as you can up the tailpipe of his car.
Collect your own shit and smear it all over the doorhandles of his car and/or apartment.
Set him on fire.
Does he have a balcony/patio? Spread birdseed all over it. The more they eat, the more they shit.
Empty a can of sardines under his welcome mat. You can also put them on top of the frame around his doorway. No one ever looks there.
Get a rooster.
It’s a kid. He doesn’t have a car.
I don’t know what this kid looks like.
They have bird feeders on their balcony. It falls down in front of my door and I track seed inside my apartmnt.
We can’t have pets.
Ok, just punch his nuts.
Yep…keep it simple and stick with the classics.
Or hit ’em with a banjo.
If he’s a kid, what the fuck is he doing with cigarettes? Let the little bastard smoke himself to death.
Hmm…when you make your play to be the new Mr. Rogers I probably wouldn’t open the show with this sentence.
I’m the tough-love Mr. Rogers.
It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood…until you go outside moping like that. I never wanted to have a neighbor like you.
Would you be my, would you be my, won’t you… hey you kids, GET OFF MY LAWN!
Wow. I’m thoroughly impressed. I want you on my team when the shit goes down and it’s dirty tricks time.
Deal!
The owner of the auto detailer at the end of the street decided that 11pm was the right time to test the new engine he’s just dropped into his car with a burnout in front of his shop – jarring sounds and noxious fumes.
what a
geardickheadI made chicken tortilla soup tonight for dinner…it turned out good and spicy…my dad ate about 12 tums afterwards…he’s a honkey.
That sounds tasty.
Yeah…fresh honkey when it’s been filled with Tums is quite tasty.
I gotta admit, you made me laugh out loud that time. The problem with eating the elderly is that the meat tends to be tough.
Heh…yeah, and my dad is a tough old bastard so you’d probably have to cook him in the crockpot overnight to soften him up.
I figured I’d marinate him in something bitter. Like the tears of Raider fans.
We’re Raiders fans…we don’t cry…we start bar fights.
Ok, I’ll just use your ascerbic wit instead.
My acerbic wit goes best with a good white wine…or some cheap malt liquor.
Oh, I get plenty of white whine around here.
Hey…we white folks have not had our voices heard for too long.
Seriously, y’all got it rough.
A whole twenty minutes!
I wonder what President Obama and Mitt Romney talked about over lunch today?
President – I hate you
Romney – I hate you more
President – I’m starting to have some money
Romney – I’ll always have more
President – I have one wife
Romney – I have more
I’ll bet they talked about a Patriots-Bears Super Bowl.
I’m sure it was one of the times when really neither guy wanted to be there…if it was an episode of The West Wing then Romney would be the new Secretary of State.
The Secretary of State.
The Secretary?
Yeah
of State?
Yeah
Romney?
Romney.
Mitt Romney?
Is there another Romney?
There are several, Tagg, Josh, Matt, Ben…
OK, shut up, it’s Mitt Romney, the guy we just beat.
Where are we walking?
It doesn’t matter.
Ha…that was really good.
I WAS IN THE POOL
I PEED IN THE POOL.
It’s all connected, man….it’s a conspiracy involving Mo Udall, Julian Lenon and the ERA amendment…all so the aliens can keep giving anal probes to farmers in Nebraska.
And I’m for it. It’s the kind of pork that generates good old fashioned American Jobs, other than Julian Lennon’s stipend, of course.
Now I just need to figure out a way to work in Robert Wuhl, Bridget the Midget, the Oak Ridge Boys and VORP into one post and then I can retire from blogging.
PSA: Exciting Warriors game happening right now on TNT.
Hmm…I’m not sure I’ve ever seen an entire Warriors game not involving the Kings or the Celtics.
Only five minutes to go in this one.
They’re trying to kill me with this game.
Jesus. Fucking. Christ.
Superstar. Are. You. What. You. Say. You. Are?
Pretty sure they never used his middle name in that play.
Their loss.
I’m posting this in the hopes that it releases a bit of the anger I have building inside… anger that makes me want to post back in the OC and tear someone to shreds for not knowing what the fuck they’re talking about.
And no, I’m not talking about Toonces.
I’m curious how many people post on both sites these days? I haven’t been back in months and last time I was on AN it was a lot of different names.
I look at the traffic stats once in a while. In the last month they’ve had both the highest (24K – ALDS) and lowest (6K – current) numbers of distinct visitors in a single week in the site’s recorded history.
Wow, just checked it out for the first time in at least a coupla months, that place is de-e-ad and pretty uninspiring, did it get f-uglier?
Enough that I didn’t even want to take a look-see into what might be boiling yer’ blood.
They wanted an all baseball blog…they got it…and it’s really boring.
Kind of wonder how many lurkers there are here now because of it.
Also am curious how the recently relocated refer to this place.
The last war in January changed things…AN is now totally different and a lot of folks no longer post on either site. Add in the Bloom/Monkeyball drama and it’s been a busy year of meta…hopefully we’ll add some fun people in 2013 and grow FK…it would help if I posted less.
No.
But you’re like half of the traffic and 78% of the comic relief!
Well, you’re both too nice. I have a lot of fun here on FK, mainly because of you cool folks.
[crosses name off wall, applies lipstick]
MAC, I hope. Anything less would be uncivilized.
You better not post less. I stay up late just to catch you.
It’s not the same when you don’t catch it in real time.
He’s much better live.
Yeah this stuff spoils pretty quickly so you have to ignore it while it’s fresh.
Are we there yet?
THATS IT!…(grabs 9 iron)
Tiger’s wife would be so proud.
They wanted a baseball blog that marginalized fanposts and put the emphasis on Front Page content.
And they got it.
Now posters like sc00by carry weight in the threads…
All I can say is if AN was like it is now back in 2008 I wouldn’t have joined. I guess they want to compete with other mainstream sports sites but they don’t have the professional writers to pull that off.
I miss three things, a few of the peole who did’t come to FK, not having to hit the refresh button to update the posts and being able to rec things I like.
I went there only a few times, but you are right – sc00by is basically the only voice of reason over there
I went over there and browsed; danbot is still hanging out over there some and NSJ posted something a few weeks ago. Otherwise, yeah, sad state of things.
Two really good ones, without a doubt.
I haven’t posted there in a year, I guess. I think I’m gonna go right now and post a pic of TM randomly.
Done.
I love you for posting that without a subject line.
What’re they gonna do, b** me?
hehehe:)
Hello, everyone.
Hey! Funny, SPWC (now Kay) was just saying in another thread that tonight would be a great night for you to come over. I swear, she’s
psychopsychic.I love all of you FK’ers.♥ The turtleman pic was awesome!
So…Who do we get to play SS?
You, if your knees are good to go.
Sc00bs, and I had pushed the idea of moving Cespedes to SS so much, that we actually had people buying into the ruse! Someone even wrote a post suggesting it! heeheehee
Ha! That’s crazy. I think it’s obvious that Barton is the future at SS.
cespedes
Hi Tutu! Turtle Man always brings the boys to the yard!
Hi, good lady! I can’t see that pic without thinking of Ned Beatty. :)
Did you have a good Thanksgiving?
Yes, I did, I flew to Minnesota that day and had Thanksgiving with my family.
I just love this time of year.
hey tutu!
good to see you
I wonder… if I keep posting TM over at **, will it bring more of our friends here?
I’m pretty sure many lurk here. I’d be here more if I could find a way to refrain from the political debates. ☺
Pretty sure those are done for awhile.
You need to at least hang out in the lounges. Bed has been on a serious roll lately.
@colin
I believe I shall for this season. I had some serious depression with the knees this year, and needed somewhere to make me happy.
@tutu of course, right after I wrote that comment, I looked at the other lounge and saw that Bed will be gone for the next month+. You’ll just have to pick up the slack!
Best support group ever!
@colin
I’ll be around for sure, but I’m a joiner, not a leader. :)
@ozz
Yeah, some of the ladies over there helped me a lot. lynn, Deb, giggs, etc were great during my re-hab period.
We need more of them over here.
I forgot BerryJo! She was awesome as well.
If not sooner, we should all troll over there on Christmas Eve, like the visitation of the spirits in A Christmas Carol. Can someone Photoshop a Santa hat on TM?
Put goat horns on him?
I’ll get on it next week. Both styles.
Hello, Ed! Good to see all of you folks as well.
Howdy stranger, good to see ya.
Hi, FSU!Are you ready for the winter? I love the fall/winter time of year.
Sort of. I’m planning a trip to Maui.
Is Bed there already? Or is he still in Our-Kansas?
He’s over in the new lounge, go say howdy!
I wanna go! LOL
Damn, I just wanted to see what all the new folks would think. Instead, Tutu started talking to me. I like him, so I can’t just ignore him.
where?
**
But he’s here now, so life is good. :)
No kidding, life IS good! I still have a cache of vicodin for fun…. I bought a bike so that I can get my girlish figure back!
That sounds like a good way to strengthen the muscles in your legs, too. I have a bike, but I haven’t ridden it in I don’t know how long. If I sit on it, it’ll prolly collapse into a pile of rust.
My son’s Boy Scout Troop does a lot of riding, and I hope to get into the routine with him. I gained quite a bit of weight in the last year, due to the surgeries, and want to lose about 30-40 lbs. That will get me down under 200.
I used to work with a guy who lost 30 lbs. in 3 months just by riding his bike instead of driving his car. In his case, he had to stop driving because his license was suspended after getting a DUI.
I have a friend in that situation, even bought the bike. But he is too busy asking people for rides to ride it.
Plus he’s got a pacemaker so he is a little askerred
Did it stop him from drinking?
@Ed: He should maybe stop drinking, then.
@Tutu: No, but he switched to a bar within walking distance of his house.
He drinks less now
He might be a voice of reason but his argument for Wil Myers, 3B appears grossly inaccurate. I can’t find a single scouting source that argues Myers’ “best position” is 3B. Everything I’ve read says he’s destined for a COF and/or that while he has the tools to potentially play 3B he’s extremely raw and would need time to develope into an even average defender.
BWH’s fanpost.
sc00by’s WTF?!?! comment.
man, ** 12.0 (or whatever they are on now) fucks my browser up completely. My laptop isn’t exactly a powerhouse, but it’s less than two years old.
I just clicked.
The redesign is complete shit.
Thanks, and go As.
I couldn’t even scroll, seriously.
I have been waiting for comments to load for 2 minutes
Real time content control. New plug-in called Kim Jong AN
heh
fTheir credit card stealing software is less efficient than ours.
Bless each and every one of you Amazon-ordering FKers. Daddy’s little girl needs some new onesies!
Yeah, that is wrong. However, if that is the thing on AN that makes you upset the most, you definitely need to (or shouldn’t) browse another thread or two
I’m angry because my favorite topics of discussion have been lobotomized and what was my primary forum marginalized into an afterthought. Trade threads and prospect talking used to be the most fun I had on AN. The whole site is a train wreck and I’m not talking about how it looks. I still regularly read other SBN sites because the content is worthwhile; BWH’s fanpost is symbolic of how far the quality of the content has fallen.
What’s worse, his thread is 1 of only 2 (out of 40) fanposts that has topped 50 comments in the last 30 days.
I get it that they want to make money, but they seemed to alienate all the good content posters, so its not a must read.
LIke you I read other SBNation stuff because its informative and interesting, AN is not.
I could sign everything that you have written.
Geez, you know sign language too!?!
you have been on fire lately.
hee
I looked at it. I had to laugh when I realized they created a mailbag. Because what, the FP writers are too fine to answer a question in a comments section? What grandeur
LOL
This is begging for an “email me” joke.
But, just to give them the benefit of the doubt, it could just mean that they are writing a front page piece that aggregates slightly more involved answers to questions that have come up in comments?
No, I really looked at it. Here is the definition:
I don’t know what’s funnier. That you have to send an email or “selected group of front page writers”. Senior columnists will answer your tweets
It gets better:
I really want to know who the favorite players of the FRONT PAGE WRITERS are. Will my question be accepted if I write it on Facebook? And I would really like to hear a totally new joke, say… about goat bestiality? That would be mighty funny
In addition to being a hilarious self-parody, this also gives further weight to grover’s point that they are actively trying to marginalize fanposts by routing discussion through the members of the front page cabal.
We should flood their inbox with questions such as: “Why did so many people leave for FK?”
by
fansunpaid people with no more knowledge than yoyu for fansExactly…that’s what I was saying before, they’re trying to be like a site with actual professional writers, but it’s the same crew that I used to make dick jokes with.
Now they’ve become the dick jokes.
pretty much.
Hi, Kay! How is Sacto-town?
Funtown USA, baby!
Cool! We got HAMMERED with the storm today. The flooding has already started. Nothing major. Just have to be careful crossing streams, etc.
Wow, had no idea you were having weather out there.
There are mudslides along Highway 140 in the Merced River canyon. Its one of the main routes into Yosemite Park
It’s been raining for 2 days straight, pretty much.
It was almost 7o here today…I’m loving it.
Get to work on that ark.
@ozz
I’m grabbing the high ground!
Lemme see if I can do this right.
Damn! Here, I’ll just link it. I can never post videos right.
iFSU…
Is FSU now an Apple product?
Not unless they’re outsourcing assembly to St. Petersburg.
I thought about going to FSU, but instead I’m a Lenin grad.
Seige the Day!
WWII was the bomb, yo.
Too soon.
Argh!
Ba-ZINGA!
It’s actually the number one incarnation tourist destination on our planet.
Come see and be a part of a WHOLE PLANET AT WAR!
The thing where the photos are sort of greyed out until you mouse over them is sort of clever, but also kind of ugly not very user friendly. It’s also very difficult to find where the interesting commenting action is happening (perhaps because there is none).
If you want to vent more, I’m curious about the comment/fANpost/front page piece that has you worked up. My internet connection is too slow to waste over at **, but I’d read a summary of it here…
I give links above.
The OP’s proposal is full of holes. But what truly pissed me off was how the discussion started with the possibility of Wil Myers making the transition to 3B (I’d give him better odds than Barton…) to “scouts think Myers’ best defensive position will be 3B”. (Paraphasing the quote.)
Up next on All Things Considered…Left handed, albino cross dressers from Ohio and what they mean for the Euro.
No way, we’re saving that for pledge week.
That’s probably the smart move.
I was a simple man with a simple dream…to clone Angelina Jolie and ride her lips to the rings of Saturn.
Never name your daughter Dabecka.
Noted…anything else I should know?
WDB?
Say wha?
What da beck(a)?
How about with an apostrophe? D’Becka.
There once was a girl named D’Becka…
Whose Ma warned her “Watch out for pecker”
But Ma’s warning was late
She went out on a date
And she liked it, not hella, but heck.
SHIT! Hecka.
Very well done!
+42!
Excellent!
No. Not at all. Conversation from today:
“We will be meeting Dabecka at 1100.”
“Who?”
“The therapist you were with yesterday.”
“TA-becka?”
“DUH-becka.”
“THE Becka?”
“DUH-Becka.”
“WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?!”
What about naming my son that?
Sure. Go ahead.
Dabecka Gertie 99. That’s a great name for a son.
I hope the baby’s mother agrees.
Jokes on you! Like any woman would ever let herself get impregnated by the likes of me! HA!
and no…we aren’t there yet.
That means I don’t have to stop kicking the back of the seat then, right?
I’m not feeling too bad about my Atlanta Falcons Super Bowl pick at the moment…we’ll so how long that lasts?
(sighs)….no, we aren’t there yet.
(kicks back of seat again)
I have to admit I don’t think I ever thought I’d live in a state that still had some of the stars and bars on their state flag…of course I moved to Arkanas mainly for the palm trees.
If you can’t be with the one you love honey then love Stephen Stills, love Stephen Stills.
God Dammit!…I said we aren’t there yet!
(pouts)
Keep it up and you won’t get a milkshake.
Tonight’s posts by Bed are better understood if you read them in the voice of Randy “Macho Man” Savage….Ohhhh yeeeeah!
I kid because I care…about making you feel really bad about yourself.
I don’t need any help with that.
I’m serious when I say this…if you were writing a book about your experience in becoming a nurse, I’d read it. You’re a natual story teller.
Aw, thanks Beddie.
I wish I could tell you guys about my day today on the psych unit. My patient likes to stick objects in his rectum. The doctor asked if the patient’s rectum was checked when he was admitted. Then I cracked a joke about blind finger sweeps.
Ya brown-noser.
My preceptor said, “If I were grading you for this rotation, I’d pass you on that joke alone.”
What’s a preceptor? It must suck to have a job that’s spelled pee-recpetor.
Some bitch we follow around and annoy, and in turn she makes us hate life.
But she’s a pee receptor. So you get to urinate on her.
Hardly knew ‘im!
In FSU rectum checks you.
That’s actually truf.
Checked? No, it was more of a Paisley pattern.
Holey cow!
I really did want to write a baseball post this year but time has ran out on me…hopefully I can write it next year.
(turns around)…if you ask me one more time if we’re there yet…I’ll put you on the roof of the car.
(begins fantasizing about surfing on the roof of the car)
Any thoughts on the ideal height of trees?
I can type like 11 words a minute with only 6-23 errors.
Every joke you have ever made on this site was really a typo.
#dfa
Well, I guess the truth is finally out there.
I hate when I make tyops.
I thunk you spelt sumthin rong
Damn. I meant tpyos.
Muck butter
Tanks.
Sometimes, I’m too nice. We delivered school photos today. I chose not to hit on the hot single mom right in front of her kid. And her ex-husband. And half the school administrators. I don’t think of myself as a hero, though. Everyone else does, of course, but I prefer to think that I’m just a regular guy who does heroic things.
You’re a prince of a guy. You’re who I want to be when I grow up. Can I have your autograph…hell, can I have your baby?
Baby D’Becka?
Well you can try having my baby. I’m no scientist, but I don’t think it’ll work.
pfft…we’re history majors…we can do anything.
Like flip burgers AND drop the fries at the same time.
We’re just that damn talented.
And that well-trained.
Act now and we’ll send you Ross Perot sings Motown free with your purchase.
Read in the Randy “Macho Man” Savage voice, this one works well.
Has there ever been a really great book about the 72-74 World Series A’s teams?
War and Peace
Best is Mustache Gang. Captures the Swingin A’s well.
Yeah, that one’s pretty good.
I haven’t read 67Marquez’s book, but I’d guess from his posts it’s good too.
If Family Guy was just about the baby and the dog I’d watch every week.
Agreed. Everyone else is redundant filler.
I hate the Dad character…I’ve seen Homer Simpson and you sir are no Homer Simpson.
Okay…you’ve just been hired by NBC…recast The A Team.
Korach, Fosse, Cotroneo…
Okay…you’ve just been hired by CBS…recast Magnum P.I.
Okay…you’ve just been hired by ABC…recast uh, some ABC show from the 80’s.
We have a major problem here, folks…I have a Michael Bolton song stuck in my head.
See you…Same Bed time…Same Bed channel.
Is it about captain jack sparrow?
This should’ve been for bed’s comment about mr bolton.
I just beat my personal scrabble best with a 203-point word – IROnIZERS, bingoing between two triple word scores.
Nurse Upgrade is impressed. She’s a Scrabble shark. I often rage quit when I play with her.
It’s a bit like chess in that a fairly small amount of memorized information and basic theory can give rise to the chasm between sharks and chum.
Love Words with Friends…got a 130 point word the other day…heeheehee
I once scored a 602 in Yahtzee, so there.
I am hoping you flipped the rack after you put it down like Reggie Jackson in the 1971 All-Star Game.
Heheh. You said “rack.”
Billy Bragg is a good musical companion when one is working late.
Any SQL Server administrators out there?
I think the nm has a fair bit of experience just from running this site.
I’m ok at writing SQL queries, but not much experience on the server admin side.
This site is not SQL Server based. I am proficient in SQL, I have a question about reinitializing Merge Replication of servers
Then I am not your guy.
Me either. I used to use it ~8 years ago, but not for that (and I’m sure everything has changed)
Yeah, it’s over now. The answer you’ve all been waiting for is that there is no way to stop re-initialization of a replication once it’s triggered. Which is pretty fucked up when IT department mistakenly does that to your production database and re-initialization involves completely deleting all the data in the DB.
{sad trombone}
One of the badges of honor we have in my groups is once you have reached the stage where you prove you know your way around the system by completely destroying something. I got mine during a crisis where we could not generate schedules for our centers. The issue got fixed and I jumped in to kick off the work for 3 weeks from now. Right after I started the process I realized that I actually did it for next week, and erased about 2 weeks worth of work for dates beginning the following Mondy (this was Friday afternoon). Had a couple of drinks that night before I began a long weekend of rework..
Yeah, I would have some badges by that measure, too.
SQL console will only execute the highlighted part of the statement , so I once — while trying to correct a starting wavelength on one measurement — omitted the “WHERE” clause, and then watched in horror s something like 37,678,987 rows affected came out, and all measurements we ever took were pinned to 1330 nanometers
As one oft burned by ignoring the advice, “backup frequently, more frequently, and also right now.”
As someone who is currently in the processing of sifting through giant garbled data dumps to rebuild a wiped out SQL database with all my work notes from the past year, this most certainly rings true. I’m just glad I at least backed up the garbled data dumps.
I had the backup, of course, but it was still nerve-racking night
My favorite ws my friends experience. A mistake on a date caused every single minute of time off the phones for a site of about 500 agents for the preious 2 years was changed to “recognition meeting”. I learned at that point that when someone begins discussions around “new standards for storing historical data” it means they deleted everything useful from behind that date…
Ok, who picked Blevins to be the A’s best ambassador in the pool?
He does seem like a really cool, normal guy.
I woulda guessed McCarthy or Coco.
Did you see the way he danced during the clubhouse celebration? Guy clearly knows his way around a dance floor.
I didn’t, but I’ll check youtube later.
Has Stanford been wearing these unis all year? I can’t decide if they’re badass or stupid ugly.
Damn it! That should be “or,” not “is.”
It’s one of their alternates, I think.
I think they look good.
Thanks, and go As.
I think I do too, but I’m not sure yet.
I like the helmets, but the rest might be a bit too much black.
They look charcoal grey in closeups, but black in the long shots. Maybe just because they’re covered in raindrops?
Hm, maybe. It could be that matte-black color becomes shiny when wet.
They’re black. Alternate jerseys that the players LOVE and they all voted to wear them yesterday. IIRC they’ve never lost when wearing them. I’m not a huge fan, but they did look pretty BAD ASS last night.
It or now.
Haha! Thanks. Can you follow me around in life and fix all my other mistakes too?
This game is a made-for-television joke. Might as well wear joke uniforms.
I like the idea of a title game, but to play it on a Friday? Even a loser like myself has better things to do than watch. My second complaint would be that it is not played at a random, if not pre-assigned, neutral site. A Seattle-Phoenix-Rosebowl-New Niners stadium rotation sounds good to me.
If the Earthquakes hadn’t lost to the Galaxy, they’d be trying to play the MLS Cup on that muddy mess tomorrow.
I just tuned in. If I didn’t know who was playing it would have taken me at least 500 guesses to land on “Stanford and UCLA” as the teams. From afar UCLA looks more like USC, for God’s sake. Hideous all around.
those UCLA unifoms are 1000% better than the monstrosity home uni’s they wore last week.
I actually like them fine
Damn you FKers. I’m not getting any work done.
You have only yourself to blame. You were the one who lured me over with the TM pic.
If I were you, I wouldn’t tell people that pic lured you in any way, shape, or form.
soooo-eeee!
If you have a therapist, you may want to share. If you don’t have a therapist, you may want to make an appointment.
Are you suggesting I get rid of my Ned Beatty poster as well?
Depends on whether it’s affecting your marriage.
heehee. I miss these Lounges….
How does that work over there now? Are Lounges dead and gone?
About one per month…75 comments in Nov..:(
Some of us try to keep them alive.
75 a month?…Heck, I used to do that an hour.
I sure wish things had gone differently.
Me tuu. I liked that there was a place to “get away” from it all.
There still is. :)
GP! :-)
Yep, but this lounge is a lot of fun too…probably a lot less baseball and more goofy but it’s still a fun place to hang out.
I just want the friendship.
Well, all of you folks are welcome…FK is a more free and open place to be yourself…no one gets banned here.
I appreciate that, Bed.
We miss you here, Tutu…I hope you’ll come back around more often in the future.
I do plan on it, Bed.
Yeah, the lounge over there was good but I think it’s reached a new level here.
Were you turned off by the politics a while back? I’m more or less the political opposite of everyone around here, but post-election things have been pretty tame.
I just need to stop getting so involved in the discussions.
where is my high speed rail?
Hanging out with your warp-speed cotton gin.
I ain’t one who’s into rules, but seeing as how we mostly have grills and lounges these days, we can sort of maybe kinda herd the political talk into the grill area and keep the lounge area on a less contentious grill.
And come late winter when the pieces have fallen into place, rosterbation season is upon us, and those who wish to do so will dance around the hot stoves in some sort of sauna endurance contest.
“a less contentious keel” is what I meant. I’m kind of in bumblebee mode right now.
I ignore all NFL posts, I’m sure the same could be done w/ the political type musings.
@brian.only exactly what I do too. The only thing we’ve ever really kept isolated is spoiler-filled tv discussion, which works fine for me.
The lounge is different here on FK that’s for sure, Oz. On AN it started as a place to talk about the game in a more relaxed way and it was a place for Bloom to hang out when he was still in Florida. There were more people in it and we often had 2 or 3 of them a night when it was going hot and heavy. We also had more fights and the last one several people got banned. Here on FK it’s a little more loose and a lot more random as we’ve gotten stranger, but funnier too.
Yeah, I was really pissed about that last one.. The ban’er has never returned to the lounge.
It was such a bad scene…I liked paris7 too…he even had one of my stupid posts as his sigline until he became management…it was the night that killed AN forever for me.
I’m kind of offended that I never got banned.
Keep posting pics without subject lines….:)
Ha! If Llama was still over there, he’d beat the crap outta me.
iglew?
I miss iglew. Is he still on AN?
I miss him too, good egg.
Yes, he is.
I’m glad to hear it.
Ig’s supposed to be here in the Bay in a few days. It’d be nice to meet him.
has Pam met him yet?
Matchmaking?
font making.
Just put them together, let nature take it’s course, and listen for the pitter patter of a keyboard banging out a new typeface.
Close enough.
I never checked to find out…at this point I think I’m just forgotten, which is fine with me…it’s a different place now and I was part of the last group that hung out there.
I keep trying to back to my high school, but those people have changed, man
You are never forgotten, Bed.
I went on the site about a month ago because everyone was talking about the new look. I have to admit most of the names were people I didn’t know. I guess there’s just a different crowd there now…I wish AN all the best, I really do. I had a lot of fun for three years there.
Remember when “Oz” referred to HollywoodOz?
Wow, haven’t thought about that guy for a long time. Wonder what became of him.
There were some real characters there in 05-07. We’ve got our own here now.
Amen to that.
Crap…I let the restraining order against Bridget the Midget lapse again…yep, and here she comes.
They don’t have an “auto renew” attached to them?
I love the way English people say “Michael Buble.” It sounds more like “Boob Lay.”
Whoever invented the synchronize feature in Lightroom deserves a lifetime of sexual favors. It’s pure FKing genius.
