Look, **Al** , I know you’re all excited about this new theory, whaddya call it, rela-somethin’? But seriously, starting threads about it all over the boards is _not_ the way to get people interested. I mean, look at **Hiryuu**. It sounds kind of farfetched to me anyway. Maybe MPSIMS is the right forum. ---

Damn, I wish I had a thin leather tie like that, and some fat shoe laces like those (and I don’t mean phat). I mean FAT. Going to buy me a Members Only jacket if my mom will let me…tan, blue or black. “War, war is stupid and people stupid, and love means nothing in some…” We’re watching movies tonight. My dad is renting a VCR again. It stands for video cassette recorder. ---

The picture quality of Beta is much better. VHS is going to die out. This mohawk is the coolest haircut ever. You’re taking a picture? Wait, let me sneer. [sub]my mom just mailed one of the mohawk pictures to my husband… my dignity is in shreds.[/sub] [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/delayed-reactions/106681.md?page=1)
