Until someone starts flirting with me, I can’t really be too concerned with the whole concept. I like all the tits in here, though… ---

For every one of the thousands of pop stars, TV shows, and movies, there’s gonna be _some_ folks who got something out of them. They couldn’t have been popular, otherwise. There’s a difference between liking something for personal reasons, and being uncritical about its artistic worth, tho. ---

Actually I’d forgotten all about them, until you brought the subject up yet again. But I should have resisted the urge to poke a stick through the bars. ---

Interesting. I don’t go into IMHO or MPSIMS nearly as much as GD, GQ and The Pit, but I did click on the thread **Hama** linked to. I remember just a couple of months or so ago when the poster **X** had amassed 1000 posts in about three days (OK exaggeration - but it was very quick) and faced a bit of controversy for it. I notice she’s now well over the 2000 mark. Did I miss much? Or was the second ton of about the same calibre as the first? ---

You didn’t miss a thing. It’s like taking a piece of paper and folding it in half, you have the same thing on both sides. Nothing. ---

**ultress** - I’m just sitting in my office laughing out loud at your post! Thank you for lifting my day. ---

Hey! What Grateful Dead comments? Was he slammin’ the boys, **Ike**? Unfair! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-curmudgeons-request-to-the-sdmb-social-club/124482.md?page=1)
