And spellcheck, please.
Unless, it’s pronounced multisyllabically – my’un.
Heh!
I think spell check is two words. Unless you are referring to some type of software, then we’d capitalize, no?
This will never end!
So, are you going to tell us what the OP is about, or are you going to screw around being coy some more?
Mundane and pointless indeed. Entertaining, nonetheless (for some reason).
He is saying that many people lie about what they have accomplished or even experienced first hand. There are way too many people that claim to have been present at the World Series in San Francisco when they earthquake struck. Truth be told, I had tickets to go but I decided to go to Woodstock instead at the last minute (great concert!) One thing was really lucky though. I was scheduled to fly on TWA flight 800 to get there and my car broke down right before I got to the airport causing me to just miss that flight. I balled as the airport monitors reported the news yet I knew at that moment God had a plan for me to live. You would think that I would have figured that out before. Even from an early age, tests showed that I had an IQ of 178. That trait never served me as well as it did during my spy work prior to Gulf War 1.
Pay attention. He said it was because everybody and their brother (half a million people) say they were at Candlestick during Loma Prieta, a stadium that presumably only holds 70,000. Later posters went on to say that everybody in Pittsburgh born before 1972, and some after, saw the Immaculate Reception in person.
In other news, I thought the OP was referencing something like the game Worms, where, when there’s an earthquake, all worms end up at their local minimum. It was funny thinking of all these people scooting over and ending up in Candlestick a la Worms. Okay, I’ll shut up now.
ETA: Shagnasty, Woodstock and Loma Prieta weren’t even on the same weekend. :rolleyes:
Oh, I see! Sorry, mangeorge; I was being dense and cranky!
I actually was watching the game on TV when the earthquake struck. At first, I thought there was a streaker or somebody got into the broadcast booth or something…it was weird!
I figured that was it. I hear ya’. I only remember around 35,000 other fans the night Nolan threw his 7th NoNo, yet for the next week everyone I ran into had been there too and laugh tried to describe to me what it was like… poorly.
Why do people do this? It’s not like you’d ‘look down’ on someone for not having been there or ‘up’ to someone who had.
Peoples is confusin’.
Bolding mine.
The visual imagery this triggered is something that both intrigues and appalls me. 
Slight hijack…
In relation to folks saying they’ve been there and the San Francisco earthquake, the Grateful Dead played the Spectrum the next day – Oct. 18, 1989. They opened their show with a 16 minute version of Shakedown Street… the longest and most exploratory every… one of the best, IMHO. Also featured in that first set is an oft-cited “Bird Song” as one of the best versions ever.
If I had a dime for every Head who told me he was there with me…
You’d have more dimes than most Deadheads.
It also seems like a million people claim that they saw Chamberlain’s 100 point game in an arena that holds less than 10,000.
Who did you ball? Where?
Back to the OP question:
Answer: With dump trucks, and wood chippers.
Hey, that’s my thing, using too many commas, I mean.
Oh yeah? Well I, uh…
I think I’ll switch to ellipsisi, instead…
Go ask the faerie in reply #6 to share.
Say “please”.
