Here’s the idea. The first ten replies have to submit their vote for what this thread is to be about.
Then when I check this thread out at work (in about 16 hours, after bed) I choose which of the first ten replies has the most interesting idea. And that becomes the theme of the thread.
Go.
Ooo! Ooo! I know! What this board really needs is a thread where we bash one of the presidential candidates, and then a few others come in and start bashing the people who were doing the original bashing, and then…
Wait…never mind. Let’s just make it a thread about monkeys.
I wish to be Ruler of the World. Join my throng. We will dominate the planet.
This thread is to be used for your suggestions for what you will give me if I choose you as part of the throng.
Original idea supplied by Dilbert™. Dilbert rocks!
When I saw the subject I thought the thread was to get it’s meaning from the natural focus that occurs when someone disagrees with any aspect of anothers post even if it’s just grammar, usage, etc… They are both good ideas though.
A thread about :rolleyes: the smiley threshold :dubious: . How many smileys can :smack: you chock into one message :wally before the other readers ;j feel the urge to beat you into a pulp? :o
:eek: :mad:
The subject of this thread will be - what colour smiley do the president’s monkey’s pimples taste like when you can’t find the answer that’s on the tip of your tongue to the question of how silly a thread’s onomatopoea can be when you refuse to participate in it.
Last week my manager announced that one of our group’s major objectives for the upcoming year is Sox compliance. Me: “How can we comply when we haven’t been told anything about it?” Boss: “All you need to know is that you have to document all our procedures.” Me: “Our procedures are documented, as much as possible.” Boss: “I don’t know why you all are so resistant to this.” Me: “We’re technical people. We hate bullshit.” Boss: “If you’re so technical, then you should see this as an opportunity. For instance, you could automate the production of documentation.”
I wish I’d had to a camera to capture the evil grins that appeared on the faces of my beloved coworkers.
You know what we haven’t had in a while? Is one of those threads that starts out with a loosely defined goal, purpose, question, or theme, and then degenerates into a TMI-filled wasteland of colored monkeys and pedantic/punny sex jokes. Or worse, something where each post has little to nothing to do with the previous one, and the result is nothing short of absolute chaos. :rolleyes: :dubious: :mad: :o ;j
Love and hate: They’re like two brothers who go on a date.
I think the thread should be about how each poster should get a yearly quota of game threads and once they’ve posted more than, oh, 2 they get banned from MPSIMS for the duration.
