Since we can’t see the post titles before scrolling through a thread, there’s no real reason you’d want to use “nt” on this board. (Unlike the Sims board, for example, which has a different layout).

I don’t really think this is a partykiller, actually. I’ve heard it played at a party only once: It was a party in Atlanta, filled with backwoods Southerners who’d moved to The Big City at a young age and got all citified and sophistimacated, and I was digging through the host’s CDs and found Gordon Lightfoot’s Greatest Hits. I put it on and it was the hit of the night.

Then again, this was also one of two times in my life that I’ve had actual Appalachian moonshine, so my perceptions may be skewed. I love the song, though.
