Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Because he’s been trying to push people to perform their SD searches using www.boardreader.com, that’s why. It’s in his sig, and he’s posted more than a few messages on here about it, extolling its virtues.

And you know something? He’s absolutely, positively right. Despite being a lawyer. :wink:

I just wandered over there and did a search on myself. Now, had I done that on here, it would have tied up the search engine forever. But there, it took only a few seconds.

I think Arnold was going to add Boardreader to the FAQ. But if you guys haven’t been to the site, you really oughta try it out net time you need to search on something.

As long as you include “SDMB” in your search string, you should find what you’re looking for. Sure, you might not be able to search a particular forum, and you might not be able to search a particular time period, but it’ll make the SD search engine a lot happier.

So cmon, folks! Let’s jet over there to search on stuff, even those vanity searches.

And thanks again to minty for promoting this site.

Oh.

I thought it was going to be a “Minty Appreciation” thread, and instead it’s just, “Minty is right, we should all brush our teeth more often…”

Um. Okay. “Minty is right, we should all brush our teeth more often.”

<< stuffs the naked dancing girls, fifth of whiskey, briefcase full of thousand-dollar bills, and Key to City back into minivan and drives away >>

No way, man. It’s that thing he does. You know - after that other thing?
Just thinking about it gives me the shivers…

Hey. I’m just sayin’.

By the way… here’s the link fixed:

boardreader.com

D’oh! If we start a real minty green appreciation thread, will you bring all that stuff back? [sub]Please?[/sub]

Enjoy,
Steven

Screw that, let’s start a DDG appreciation thread, simply for the fact that she has naked dancing girls on the ready.

But, uh, yeah, boardreader rocks. Woo!

8

Thanks, Eonwe. Didn’t realize the trailing comma was part of my link.

9

Yeah, that’s the easiest way to screw up a link - the trailing punctuation stays in unless you do something to separate it.

And if there are naked dancing girls involved, appreciation threads all around! :stuck_out_tongue:

minty green is one of my favorite colors…

11

Oh sure! Laugh! Guffaw! Mock me!

But it sure would be helpful if more people searched there, even though it’s not as thorough a search. . .

12

Thanks for the whiter teeth and better smelling breath.

13

Dammit! Bring back the goodies, Duck Duck Goose!

Of course, I had to find this thread via hamster search. :o

14

I was just about to paste it to ya, too. You know, I couldn’t find it easily with BR.

15

Yeah, you have to have a fairly specific idea of what you’re looking for with Boardreader. And I’m not sure how often they update their database, so brand new threads aren’t real likely to show up for a while. But it’s lightning quick and anything that conserves precious hamster power is okay by me.

Thing is, I entered

“Why minty green is awesome” SDMB

as the search criteria, and got nothing. When I entered

“minty green” SDMB

I got a zillion hits.

Ooof.
