Thanks to TubaDiva and the other Admins for setting up this nice shiny new forum, and thanks to Euty for the nice welcome.
Okay, let the games begin. Who’s the better interpreter of Mahler…Bruno Walter or Simon Rattle? Should Leonardo have used a little more green in the background of the VIRGIN OF THE ROCKS? Is “The Eve of St. Agnes” too dirty to teach tenth graders? Were the Marx Bros better at Paramount or at MGM? I like “The Family Circus.” Do YOU like “The Family Circus” ?
And I had such a high opinion of you only a moment ago.
Where’s the bathroom?
Hey, congrats, Uke! A new forum and everything. I’m sure you’ll be a great moderator… though I pretty much agree with Scylla on that “Family Circus” thing. If you’re gonna like a cheesy comic, you might as well go with “For Better or For Worse”.
Yes, we both like “The Family Circus.” Deal with it.
Was this just a clever ploy to divert any trivia threads from appearing in GQ? IS IT? WAS IT?! I HAVE WAYS OF MAKING YOU TALK!
And “Nancy.”
Ernie Bushmiller, man. A GOD.
I heard that only Nazis liked The Family Circus.
Congrats neo-mod Ukulele Ike!
Don’t forget “Marmaduke” and it’s coy method of exposing us to Neo-conservatism. Oh yes, I noticed.
I expect fully drawn-out dashed-line drawings of where my thread went when it gets moved, complete with hops across the puddles in the road and loops around drunks.
Congrats, Ukulele Ike.
Hah! He’s not a proper mod. This forum only has 5 threads in it - and three of them are about the forum itself!
::eyes Uke with disdain::
He’s not even been given the full moderator’s uniform! Really, you’re going to have to try harder than that.

What a smashing forum. I shall try to post intelligently and eruditely here.
I’ll have a skinny mocha frappachino and a blueberry scone, please. Hey- mod! Hurry UP! I don’t have all stinking day!
Man, the service at this cafe sucks 
Zette
I’ll take a tall, half caf skim latte, no whipped cream.
Aren’t you a little freaked out by the way the dead grandparents are always hanging around translucently?
Can you picture the kid trying to go on a date? He’s trying to get to second base and these two lecherous voyeurs are just sitting there watching?
Will they have the same condescending smile on their faces, or will they be appalled? Worse still, will they get all cookied up watching?
If I thought I was being watched by dead ancestors, I’d never be able to have sex.
I’ll be the guy who grabs a stack of brand-spanking new books and/or magazines then heads over to the cafe to peruse, spill, crease, and otherwise decrease the value of the unpurchased items. Then I shall just leave them there or put them back in the wrong places. Hah!

I have the shoes.
They’re very NICE shoes.
