“Ass Ass Ass as much as I want” “what do blind people see when they dream” OK…manny of the people on the AOL board are here. However, for one who has only been back for a couple weeks, this board seems, well, “tamer” than the AOL incarnation. Have I just not bumped into the swords and daggers yet? Or, are there just fewer fools that stumble in over here? * * * This sig not Y2K compliant. Happy 1900. ---

TBEA! Long time no seE-A! If you want vitriol, go to the pit. That’s what I like about this board: subdivisions, no thread splitting, and no spam. * * * “What’s the cure for disillusionment, Charlie Brown?” “A chocolate cream and a friendly pat on the back.” ---

I never realized that I missed out on so much fun till I read this thread. dammit, if only I had a time machine, I’d set my younger self straight, on the dope that is the Striaght Dope But since I can’t I think I’ll just make everyone else who joined recently also feel like they missed out since misery loves company, sigh. Hope you enjoyed it like I did. Sounds like good times.
