the SDMB has passed judgement on the state of ‘what is’. look at music, art, entertainment, literature; all the original stuff has been done. everything now is derivative. all the thoughts here blabbed and gabbed have been said before. we are all just repeating things. ---

I’ve never seen “New Posts” go down before. As a back-up it would be wise to prepare a “What’s Happening Now” button that gives a put-down or come-back from the sassy waitress on the series “What’s Happening Now.” Just so we have something to press. Or at least makeup some calendar events for us to look forward to. ---
