So often I’ve observed (or at least expected) that there’s a Weekend Crowd here at SDMB with a different mindset and agenda from the Workweek Crowd. Topics that are cruising right along during the week will fizzle and die over the weekend. Topics started on the weekend will vanish by Monday. Of course there are exceptions. Otherwise it wouldn’t be a rule. But if this thread gets any replies (not that it will) I wonder what are the odds it will still have any activity on Monday. Once it’s off the “front page” (however that’s defined in your case) will you even look to see if it’s still alive? As for content on this thread, you choose. Maybe some thoughts on Novak, the shuttle, whether Kaysar can beat out that runt to get back in BB6, or some random thoughts about Prozac, pregnancy and PCP. Whatever… ---

You sound like you’re trying to make an MMP (Monday Morning Post) for the weekend Dopers. (FMP - Friday Morning Post?) Not a bad idea. ---

I used to get the Saturday Morning Post, but I cancelled. Delivery was spotty, but then my bird died and I had no reason for it anymore. ---

Nothing like a back handed complement to really make a guy’s weekend, eh?! 🙂 Pssst… want to know the truth? The child custody portion of my separation agreement has been finalized. It’s all good. No court date needed. Nobody’s nose is out of joint and I’m one step closer to closing this sad little chapter. ---

I have to work on Sunday – which is to say I’ll be spending hours browsing the SDMB. If I promise to post to this thread on Sunday, will you promise to post to one of my future pitiful languishing low-reply threads? ---

Thanks for offering, but I wouldn’t want for any of those humiliating debacles to be resurrected. It’s enough for me to believe that someday you will see one of my sad attempts at humor/brilliance, and you will post to it words of such wit that my O.P. will shine with reflected glory. ---

I meant to post this earlier, but I had to leave. I just want to put it out there that 08/08 is my four-month anniversary\* with my boyfriend. We’re going to do something special, I think. Anyway, if the SDMB does change somehow on the weekend, I haven’t noticed. I usually come across everything a little late, so I don’t pay attention to whether I’m reading posts from the weekend or the week. Personally, I’m here pretty much all the time, more or less. \*Incidentally, the ann- in anniversary means “year” so the phrase “four-month anniversary” is a contradiction in terms. Four-month-iversary works well. ---

Four-month-iversary works well. I’ve even tried to locate a word for monthly or less-than-annual recurrence of things in the same vein as “anniversary” and so far not found the word. I wondered if “luniversary” might work. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/will-this-thread-last-until-monday-aug-8-2005/315712.md?page=2)
