Or its even more annoying cousin, the “I am having an extremely complicated relationship crisis that I will explain to you in ONE paragraph that extends for eight pages, with very minimal punctuation and the principals referred to by letters rather than names. Oh, and by the way, I am young and hip and think capitalization is a tool of The Man (pardon me, ‘the man’) so I’m not going to use it” thread.
Dude/lady, by the time I get through five lines of your turgid prose, I don’t give a damn if A is doing it to B while C, who used to be good friends with Q, and D, who can’t stand Y and is by the way a housecat, hang around H&M discussing the infidelities of G and P.
You don’t need the SDMB, you need a very patient algebra teacher.
If I’m not mistaken, it’s the same damned thread that gets resurrected from time-to-time. It’s has more posts as the Bakers Dozen thread. (I’ve never opened it.)
I was thinking “it couldn’t possibly be the same thread. Because if is the same thread it must have more posts by now than the Baker’s Dozen thread.”
No, I just like to pick on that thread. A while back when someone asked “how do you know if you’ve had too much to drink?” my answer was, if I find myself posting in the thread We Have Pigeon Eggs!
I have no idea where those places are, other than somewhere in Spain because you’re Nava. I think people were talking about things like a Canadian asking what to do in New York, or a Dubliner asking what to do in London. Dude, everyone in North America knows what kind of attractions are in New York. Like greenery? Central Park! Like shopping? Fifth Avenue! Like live entertainment? Broadway!
Those don’t bother me. I live three hours away from NYC and I might ask. Not “What is there to do in NYC” but “What things haven’t I thought of” and “this is my timeframe”.
But that’s different than just making an OP saying ‘What is there to do in New York?’. You’re talking more about ‘Are there any hidden gems to eat at near my hotel?’.
It actually doesn’t bother me, I just hopped into this discussion, ha ha.
Threads discussing the possible reasons for the swiss cheese-smell behind one’s ears. Granted, I’ve only seen this topic discussed once but once is more than enough for me. It had 40 different posters digging behind their ears and posting about what their fingers came back smelling like. It was thoroughly disgusting.
I would love that. The mods would never do it but I would love it because then we could have threads for each day and that would make me ever so happy.
I don’t need to see another thread about no problem vs. you’re welcome. Put on your big kid panties and deal with the fact that life is not Burger King.
Y’know, I always hear about this one being overdone. I think I’ve referred to it as overdone before. But now that I think about it…I can’t remember it in actuality. It’s something that was “old and overdone” before I started lurking here, kind of like how Saturday Night Live always used to be funnier.
So when was the last time/how often does it *really *come up?
Here’s one from 2007. But that one was specifically started with the debate in mind. I think a lot of them get started because someone said, “Oh no, what’s next, shoes on or off?” and someone else says, “off, obvs.” and we’re off.
We’re not smug at all. We love everybody! (including you)
The MMP is just a place for people to get together and chat about whatever inane (or not so inane) thing comes to mind. It’s sort of like a microcosm of MPSIMS. This week, for instance, we’re talking about caring for folks who’ve had a TIA, folks with dementia, issues with college, our own health issues, and very moldy coffee pots just to name a few.
