The Great Outage

The Great Outage? How about “The Great Sock Migration” or “The Lonely Sock Puppet Theatre” or “The Sock Drawer Explosion”?

I guess we really pissed off ol’ Handsome Harry in that other thread.

Think how difficult it must have been for him to maintain that state of frothing derangement for the duration of the outage.

Went to the zoo to see the Giraffes.

It was definitely someone from the anti-Bernie crowd. Definitely!!

Never forget what?

Anyway, now I what it’s like when time just stops.

Was the outage a tribute to Prince? You know, like dimming the lights on Broadway.

That’d make a great t-shirt…

I’ve often thought of making myself a shirt with “I survived the Winter Of Our Missed Content” on it. And then I’d get depressed when no one would get it. (After wearing it every day for five years, I’d be on my knees in the middle of a busy intersection yelling “Are there NO dopers to be found here?”)

My first guess, based on what I saw when I wasn’t logged in, was that it was handsomehenry. Not because I think he seemed technologically capable but he was pissed enough to Pit someone who is no longer here for something they said 6 years ago, and it wasn’t going well for him.

But, more importantly he flat out said that he was a Nazi supporter (The initials always made me suspect), and was upset at people for giving him grief over it. And while he may not have a botnet at his disposal, there is some correlation among online neo-Nazis and shit like this.

So my first thought was that maybe he went and complained on 4chan or similar, and someone decided to “teach us a lesson.”

Nothing conclusive, mind you, and I wouldn’t push if he says it wasn’t him. But it did make me wonder.

Zoo? With all those clowns jumping around, I thought it was a circus.

No taking shots at other boards, please. Board wars and all.

Oh, please. A board war with “The Other Place” would be self-abuse, nothing more.

Remember, every time you masturbate, God kills a kitten.

Please, think of the kittens! :frowning:

My suggestion: “The Spring Broken.”

As long as it doesn’t become another Winter of Our Missed Content.

For strategic purposes, we should actually want to stay on amicable terms with “that other board” (however superficially), because someday we might all be forced to go there as our emergency meeting place.

Black Thursday.

No one alive would remember what a “cat” was. We like kittens, we’d feel bad about it, most of us would stop. Lots of us, anyway. Some.

board wars? whuh? how does that work?
I’ve never experienced one soooo…
