since school is back in session, I will probably be have many fewer posts. I do not intend to change my style of posting as I catch up however. I know some people might not like it, but it’s much easier for me to get my thoughts out that way. ---

I know some people might not like it, but it’s much easier for me to get my thoughts out that way. if you could just post them in the thread coherently i think the rest of us could be down with that. 😉 ---

> [@MHaye](#): > > Keeping fluff down at Night really isn’t necessary. One can just make notes of the post numbers for Dusk and Dawn, and discount everything between. In previous games, one player (or more commonly the Mod) would keep an updated list of links as their signature for other’s to quickly link to Day and Night starts. I’ll do my best to keep mine updated until I’m killed and then if someone else (or the Mod) wants to take over that would be cool. You have to make sure ‘Show Signatures’ is checked in your options. And I’ll try to remember to click the ‘Show your Signature’ box occasionally when I post. If you don’t see it, you should also be able to access it by viewing my profile. ---

Ha, ha, very funny. In case he changes it later, **USCDiver** ’s signature currently contains a link labeled “Scum board”, but it’s a Rickroll. ---

For what it’s worth, **Diver** , you did in fact successfully rickroll me. I saw the link and said to myself “No way, did he actually do that?”, then I hovered over it and saw it was YouTube and thought “OK, so it’s just a joke… I wonder what video he’s linking?”. It wasn’t until I actually went to the link that I realized, despite having every opportunity to guess. ---

And doesn’t the animated Lord of the Rings call Frodo the “nine fingered” in the opening song…kind of spoiling a key moment in the story? ---

i know that this is not lotr but since we already had batman we might as well get some kojak as well. [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/J94-_w9ARX0/hqdefault.jpg "Telly Savalas - If") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J94-_w9ARX0) this probably won’t hit a chord with the younger folks. but it is still fascinating. ---
