Not that I’m arguing in favor of allowing socks but there are questions I might ask and threads I might reply to using a different, more anonymous username but not with this one. Similarly, there have been some Email Me Your Secrets threads over the years that are pretty much the same thing.
Like it or not, more apparent users might bolster the numbers for otherwise inattentive corporate ownership should we need to justify the Board’s existance. Along the same lines, socks could potentially be monetized.
But the character was played by Henry Winkler, who went by both Arthur Fonzarelli and Barry Zuckercorn! And he jumped sharksas both identities! He should be banned.
My understanding is that Ron Howard and Erin Moran are related, they’re just not related to each other. They are in fact related to completely different people. Odd, but true.
Damn. I went to click the like button but then realized that I’m on a different board from the one that has said button. Odd that no one has ever suggested that.
That doesn’t make any sense. Once you have a time machine, all you have to do is build another one and bring it back with you into the past. They could have had a time machine in the fifties. Unless of course; placing one time machine inside another creates a recursive loop that destroys the universe. Does anyone know anything about this?
Happy Days going over schedule pushed everything else back.
Back in the halcyon days of plastic.com, I used to make socks from time to time as a gag. For example, if someone was talking about Marshall McLuhan, I might make a sock account called Marshall McLuhan and post:
It was fun and a couple of times I’ve wished I could do that on the dope but not doing so has not been a serious hardship.
Oh, and if Happy Days was set in the fifties then what was up with Potsie’s hair style?
I think it must be in some way related to the hair styler for D+D (named after Dungeons and Dragons, a Fantasy Role Playing Game that became popular in the 1980s), or Game of Thrones which I think is based on a book series. They both had characters with modern looking hair. I don’t see why they couldn’t make all of their hair look like it did before modern times.
I used to play D&D back in the '70s. Well, cool kids did and I always wished they’d invite me. It sounded like a lot of fun. Anyway D&D existed before the '80s.
Harry Boyle was a sock created by Howard Cunningham (unless it was the other way around). Both of them were inspired by threads about American-style love.
Nicola Tesla accidentally destroyed the universe almost a hundred years ago. Everything since then has been the simulation running on Charles Babbage’s Universal Engine. Unfortunately, the gears are wearing out and becoming whopperjawed. You might have noticed some strange stuff happening recently.
Tesla himself created the sock puppet of Emmett “Doc” Brown when he supposedly “died” in 1943, so he could continue to work away from public attention. Unfortunately, he failed to judge the side effects of his work and transported himself back to 1885, where he (Brown) coexisted in the same timeline with him (Tesla). Tesla attempted to repair the rift in the time continuum by staging the death of Brown in a spectacular locomotive crash, but by then the sock puppet had achieved autonomy and appeared in not just 1885 and 1955, but also 1985 and 2015. The sock puppet Brown would/will also become a Klingon commander who kills James Kirk’s son in Earth year 2286.
I myself own a pair of brown socks that I never get to wear because I only own two suits, one of which is gray and the other one is blue. I’m not sure what they have to do with Nicola Tesla though.
The best kind of socks are the warm, extra fuzzy ones. I have a whole drawer full of them, including ones that are black and gold, for my favorite sports’ teams.
It takes quite a bit more than just having the same IP to even suspect a sock, let alone detect it. Computers on the Internet have a private IP and a public IP. The public IP is the one that the website sees when it checks where the traffic is coming from. The private IP is what goes to a specific computer, and it’s not visible to the websites you visit. In most cases everyone in the same house will share the same public IP, and it’s more common than not that everyone in an office building (or even sometimes an apartment building) will share a public IP. In the school system where I worked for ten years there was one public IP shared among 4 buildings spread out across town.
Shoe stores shouldn’t have those cheap, single-use socks to give out. If you go shoe shopping without wearing socks, I say, fuck you, buy some socks or go home.
