[URL=http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&postid=3527280#post3527280]“Angels” - A new Chick tract.

After reading “Angels,” I played “Highway to Hell.” Really Loud.

Jack Chick owes Humanity an apology.

Of course, I was accused of being a sock puppet immediately afterwards, but such is life!

[Ilsa_Lund]

AAGGG!

“Angels”

Of course “The first post there” etc.

[BuckleberryFerry]

Not really a word, but I hate “suposably” instead of “supposedly” and when “of” is used intstead of “have” as in “I should of gone.”

::shudder:: grrr

In this thread. Very old, please don’t bump.

I dared my first post in a GD thread about artificial intelligence. Lost my virginity and nobody even noticed.

It’s too long to repost here (plus I’m really lazy and can’t find my clothes).

[Rabid_Squirrel]

Here’s my comments on canned goods.

**well, I was born in 1981 so I suppose that’s close enough. We definitely had an atari. I remember playing some game on it that was like a one on one with Dr. J and Larry Bird. I’ve always thought that popcorn cooked on the stove was far superior to microwave. I remember the reagan administration but I was admittedly prepubescent during the gulf war. I do nevertheless remember that several of my classmates’ fathers were in the war. I also remember writing letters to the soldiers in school. I can’t say that I remember Black Sunday 1987, but I do know that it was a major crash in the stock market. We had a record player for years until it was destroyed in a house fire, and we also had an eight track player in our airstream trailer. We also had a beta vcr for years until it became impossible to find any tapes in that format. (we’ve still got beta copies of north and south and dallas lying around though) I personally loved Dallas. I’ll stop now because this is getting a little silly, but as missbunny said, just because we weren’t born when something happened doesn’t mean we don’t understand it.

My comment on Nickel-Cadmium Batteries.

Of course, this was before The Winter of Our Missed Content, so I show up as a guest. At least the post was saved! Scroll down and see my signature at the bottom of the OP.

Yes, I am the OP of thread #8 on this board.

Been around a long time.

[TheOnlySaneOne]

From the thread Who’s your favorite fictional sidekick?, I posted this beauty. Can’t say that I’ve gotten much better.

'Tsk tsk. How is it that the coolest of all sidekicks has not been mentioned? Lockeed the Dragon from the eighties X-Men!

sees the people staring at the person who would post something like this their first time Um…go Lockheed?

I didn’t even get a ‘Hello’.

[Lobsang]

My first ever post…

gibberish spam

Is it just me or has everyone else started to get (beep)loads of chinese (or whatever language it is) spam?

This is a new low, because with spam up to now atleast we could read them and get rid of about 25% of them through their own instruction. But we (non chinese speaking people) can’t even read how to get rid of it.
Don’t &&^% B*7^^43 spammers know that zero point zero zero percent of people want to know about products or dick enlargment things or business atms or how to make lots of money. What really pisses me off is not that unwanted stuff is in my e-mail box, but that the language, the tricks they use assume we are stupid. most of us are not stupid and are patronised by words like “Yeah, I was sceptical about all those get rich quick schemes too, but this one is different!” yeah right, piss off.

more relevantly to this post. don’t these wankers (not chinese people, I mean the people responsible for the spam) know that the overwhelming majority of the world other than the orient DOESN’T SPEAK CHINESE.

It’s a crap crap system where it is SO EASY to piss off MILLIONS of people just with a few clicks of a mouse and a bit of irresponsible lacking of TWO SECONDS OF THOUGHT - (copying a list of e-mail addresses (none of which are chinese people) into a contact list, compose a chinese e-mail, click select all and click send

I’d love it if some law was passed where within companies the people who said “I know, let’s send an advert for our great [useless pointless shitty piece of crap] product to millions of people” have to be exposed by the company. then tied to a lampost on a busy street with a sign above him that says ‘This guy sends spam. go nuts, and btw they are giving away free balloons full of sick and poo across the road’

It was an OP, and it got closed after just 3 replies (because it was in the wrong forum)

**Jerevan,

“The Lives of Dax” is a recent paperback novel published by Pocket Books and is set after the end of the Deep Space Nine series. I’m pretty sure that the stories contained within are not canon because, to my knowledge, the only stories considered official are the novelizations of various episodes and movies and “Mosaic”, a Voyager novel chronicling the life of Kathryn Janeway as written by one of the original producers of the television series. (Her name eludes me at the moment, sorry.)

Either way, as an avid reader and owner of most Trek books (I own and have read about 90% of them at last count), I can assure you that the book should be worth a look despite not being recognized as official. But, also, I could be wrong… the past few DS9 novels have all had a continuity unlike most other series. **

Unsurprisingly, it was a Star Trek post.

[Atreyu]

My first post was a test in an ATMB thread.

My first real post was in this IMHO thread asking the question “What is intelligence?” My response is quoted below:

I think that any definition of intelligence must go beyond just the sheer knowledge of facts. It should include how easily and quickly a person is able to apply what they know to a particular situation, and to be able to apply knowledge quickly in rapidly changing situations. So for me, it wouldn’t be just what I know, but how well I use what I know.

It’s an old thread that isn’t locked. Please don’t bump.

[LadyMack]

Here, tho I didn’t remember it.
Thread title was Boobies.

And I thought to myself, NO way??

Sure nuff.

[5_time_champ]

I’ll give the hamsters a rest. IIRC the thread was titled Write your own Star Trek episode.

Capt. Kirk and crew must use all their cunning and wits to trick the aliens into not destroying the Enterprise. . . Earth. . . Federation. . . Galaxy. . .Universe.

I thought it was clever, even if no one else did.

[vanilla]

My first post was in June of 99, under the username
vanillanice .

It was about rainbows and what was at the end of them.
Not worth searching for.

[MsRobyn]

I shudder to think about my first post. Suffice it to say, I’ve learned since then.

My First Post, by Fisher Price

I wonder why I registered back in March but didn’t post anything until June. I was such a lurker.

[Alias]

My first (LAME) post:

Several years ago when I was a kid, there was this big controversy about Mighty Mouse doing cocaine… I think. If I remember correctly, in the cartoon Mighty Mouse inhaled something when he felt depressed about something and whatever it was helped him fight crime. Anyone else remember this, or am I the victim of a “he-said, she-said” urban legend?

[Lissa]

My first post is gone. There was some sort of board crash which lost all of the posts before a certain date, and I hear they’re never coming back.

I asked a question in GQ about wedding rings in commercials. (In birth control commercials, or any commercial with children, wedding rings are almost always prominantly displayed-- sometimes there’s even a “hand shot” which shows the ring.) My question was whether there was some sort of “standards” board which insisted that wedding rings be worn by the actors.

I was overly polite and humble. I was so afraid that any grammatical error, or display of ignorance would get me torn apart by Cecil’s Rabid Intellectuals. However, everyone was extremely kind.

[Mephisto]

Embarrassing admission – do YOU do this?

Do you do vanity searches or reread your past posts and revel in your wit, basically. My number one post was: “Yeah, I’ve read every single post that I’ve ever made here.”

Haha. It really wasn’t that funny to me then, either. Still, for a first post . . . yeah, you’re right. It seemed to fit, though. Still not that funny, though. In my two-and-a-half years as a Doper, I haven’t really improved, either. Fortunately, I have a good self-esteem.

Oh and Alias, I too remember Mighty Mouse getting high as he flew into battle. IIRC, those were supposed to be crushed flower petals or something, but it was really–supposedly–cocaine.

[Ice_Wolf]

I’m not going to burden the servers by searching for my first post (is a thread where nearly everyone who responds uses the search engine, a good idea? Got my doubts …)

My first post nearly three years ago was about the film Dante’s Peak and how it sucked. Utterly.
