Hi Billy. Or Bob. Or Billy-Bob. Whatever. Welcome!

As for humor, yeah. You’ll never find such a collection of sarcastic wise-asses anywhere else. The “official” purpose here is to eradicate ignorance, but there’s no reasonyou can’t have fun doing it.

In this particular forum we’re all about answering factual questions, with wisecracks, asides, etc. thrown in. For humor for humor’s sake, try our forum MPSIMS.

And actually, I’m going to move this thread to About This Message Board.
