“You can pick up the elephant in the morning, here are the keys”

I’m new and not very smart, so, for one or both of those reasons, I don’t get the OP. Yes, we’re all quoting the Simpsons, but the post said _no_ Simpsons thread until page 6. It’s not page 6 yet. What gives? I guess I’m just not with it.

I used to be with it, but then then they changed what it was. Now, what I’m with isn’t it anymore, and what’s it seems wierd and scary.

What he means, **peasea** , is that he perused through Cafe Society and didn’t see a thread about The Simpsons until page 6, so he made one that would be on page 1 and then slowly drift back a few. He thought that with many of the boards members being Simpsons fans, that page 6 is WAY too far back to have a thread.
