Oh boy, someone will be happy… or sad, not sure which.
One of our favorite sports, too.
I see you found the smilies
There will, I am quite sure, be posters on both sides of the issue.
Welcome, ABR!
Great name, ABR. Welcome.
It’s as if some Dopial prophesy has come true. Could the incarnation of Cecil be far behind? Heaven knows we’ve seen more than our fair share of anti-Cecils lately.
Happy
Ever. EVE*R. Ever.
I am close to tears.
What, no Chicken of Bristol?
Shhhh - you’re spoiling the atmosphere.
Dude, I really, really hope you are genuine and intend to stay around for a while, so welcome to the Boards.
I would hate to see such a name go by the wayside if you decided not to post again.
So now all we have to do is get that Chicken of Bristol in and Mangetout’s head (or something else) will explode in ecstasy.
Question from the peanut gallery here.
I can’t seem to get BoardReader to search for anything further back than approximately a year ago, but I thought that I remembered the existence of a doper named Chicken of Bristol during the Winter of our Missed Content. (I think I remember this person expressing interest in a Phoenix dopefest, actually.) Is there any way to search that time period to see if I am hallucinating or if there really was ever a Chicken of Bristol? (I’m quite aware of the unreliability of memory, so I’m really curious to see if this was a real memory or if I’m remembering things.)
Apparently not.

If they registered and posted solely during the period that was lost, wouldn’t you get that search result?
Good question. You’re probably right. I think everyone who registered in that time period had to re-register.
Mangetout, this is clearly reinforcement of the idea that if something is repeated often enough, it becomes a truth.
It is also an indication that the apocalypse is nigh.

At least we know ABR has lurked around enough to know what name to choose.
I shall withold judgement.
I am, however, annoyed by the removal of my favorite dig at Mangetout.
Not that he really needs digging.
Crap, I thought that joke would go on forever. I’m sad.
Nice try, dan.
