“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.
I remember when GFHH, Tubadiva, Toy Drone and I were four of the six original posters to the first Straight Dope message board on aol.
Hah!
Whoops! All this nostalgia addled my few connecting brain cells. I’ll slink away now.

I can’t be expected to remember all I’ve discussed. but I have sort of kept track of these threads
Back when I was posting a few more times a day than now:
Papa Bear
but, never mind… :o
TBEA!!! Woo-HOO!!!
My day is made!
your humble TubaDiva
Is BeLogical in the house?
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 remember when I first came on board and flirted shamelessly with a few of the lovely ladies here. I was flamed mercilessly by E1Skeptic for it, so now I’m so cool I can keep an ice cube in my shorts all day.
I’m a professional, folks. Please don’t try this at home.

heh heh heh…ah, the good old days. I truly miss it, god knows why.
(Damn, it’s good to see TBEA’s name!)
P.S. to old MB alum - I got an email from DSchaf a few weeks ago. If you remember him - the orignal MB villain - then you have been around for a while!
Wally, Wally, Wally, cool is one thing; masochism is another. And if you’ve been storing the Moosehead ::drumroll:: in your shorts to prove your coolth, don’t tell us folks who have partaken thereof.
Of the beer. Not your shorts. Or the contents of your shorts…
Oh, bullpucky.

The “new” format on AOL with real threads (and access to all prior threads disappeared)
The “hmm” hair thread
Disable Similes in this Post
And I remember trying to explain to a braindead hacker that futzing with the ads would get HTML taken away…

Remember back when the SDMB ran on UBB?
Ah, those were the days… 
I remember when my bookmarks to old threads like
http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=20989
worked.now I need to search them all again.
I remember Ranger Jeff’s birthday songs and branding iron.
Oh, and the Bob/George wars.
Moron on a moving truck.
Being pelted with Mentos.
Rosa Parks.
Throwing pies /------------[}
and drinking beer c(_) in chat.
(heh heh)I remember the Skittles vs M&M war.
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.
