st needs a lighhearted fansite war. - tRuMaN Jul 17, 12:54 12
- Yeah. Somebody needs to volunteer one of the sites they cheat on ST with, and we can get a rivalry going. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 17, 12:56 1
  - go for it. -- (link) - znufrii Jul 17, 12:57
- We should invite Ikariam users to post here, then we can have Alliance wars! :-) -- nm - tee-woo-gee Jul 17, 12:55 5
  - I was going to look into creating an ikariam board, but I have been slacking a lot this year ... -- nm - Beryllium Jul 17, 13:01 1
    - I really think if you did a board for ika, and a couple others for whatever war game and fantasy sports you'd turn into the craiglist of slacking - zeitgeist Jul 17, 13:09
  - ahem. - b. Jul 17, 12:57 2
    - Which one? - tee-woo-gee Jul 17, 12:59 1
      - i thought it was you... - b. Jul 17, 13:00
- I kinda hoped TT would rise up against us. -- nm - Spawn Jul 17, 12:55 1
  - There is no one left over there to rise up against us - we are the US. - Epiphany Jul 17, 12:58
- I'd suggest trading columnists again, but my folks still haven't forgiven me for last time. -- nm - David Jul 17, 12:55 1
  - the only columnist hsj has to trade is me, so that isnt offering much. - tRuMaN Jul 17, 12:56
tee-woo-gee! *happy clap* -- nm - b. Jul 17, 12:53
cracker poll: what the world needs now is . . . new Big Audio Dynamite -- nm - just dug Jul 17, 12:51 5
- absolutely. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 17, 12:54
- I was listening to them not 2 hours ago. -- nm - Spawn Jul 17, 12:52 2
  - see? -- nm - just dug Jul 17, 12:53 1
    - What I am saying is, it was *before* the last few boards. -- nm - Spawn Jul 17, 12:55
- but does it utilize Technotronics? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 17, 12:52
Thanks to all well-wishers in the backboards! (NM) - Marlowe Jul 17, 12:50 9
- Happy, Happy...I've missed you. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 17, 12:54

  - Yeah.. (NM) - Marlowe Jul 17, 12:52
- ooh, happy happy! -- nm - Callisto Jul 17, 12:51
- I wish you well! - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 17, 12:51
- *mwah* yay! -- nm - b. Jul 17, 12:51
- Then what a perfect day to have a birthday! -- nm - Max Jul 17, 12:50
I missed lileve's suggestion on B2. Will do, lileve, will do. -- nm - tee-woo-gee Jul 17, 12:50 2
- It's like people are saying "YOU'RE WRONG! GIVE ME A FACT!" -- nm - lileve Jul 17, 12:51 1
  - Define fact -- nm - Random ST'er Jul 17, 12:52
you know, that thing on Bsomething about post something about yourself made me think. - tRuMaN Jul 17, 12:48 9
- i don't know if this is advice soliciting... - b. Jul 17, 12:50 6
  - honestly, I probably make too much for that. - tRuMaN Jul 17, 12:51 5
    - your insurance might cover some. -- nm - loosilu Jul 17, 12:52 4
      - I'd actually be surprised if it did not. -- nm - Callisto Jul 17, 12:55 3
        
        I know it's probably a lot different in the states, but my insurance covers a lot of stuff - massages, therapy, stuff like that ... -- nm - Beryllium Jul 17, 12:58 2
        
        This is why Americans fear single-payer, government funded insurance. -- nm - tee-woo-gee Jul 17, 13:00 1
        
        um, this is a private benefits plan that my employer provides -- nm - Beryllium Jul 17, 13:01
- that reminds me - znufrii Jul 17, 12:50
- it's worth it. -- nm - loosilu Jul 17, 12:49
I am getting angry and I need to walk away -- nm - amoxy Jul 17, 12:47 1
- Just so you come back. -- nm - mara Jul 17, 12:48
You were all helpful with the book suggestions. I have grown stagnant in my photography lately. Any suggestions for new subjects, styles, etc. to try? -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 17, 12:45 10
- I have a huge collection of "sleeping neighbor" photos. nm - Dignan Jul 17, 12:48 3
  - you get 50 loosi points for being the first to make me laugh. -- nm - loosilu Jul 17, 12:51 1
    - I will spend them on soft sole shoes. nm - Dignan Jul 17, 12:54
  - L3 -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 17, 12:50
- This is a re-repost, but give this two-part article a gander -- (link) - con_carne Jul 17, 12:48 1
  - I'm a big fan of the "really low perspective" shot. - Reagen Jul 17, 12:53
- I'm a big fan of macro, but I really need to work on my portrait and landscape shots. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 17, 12:48
- what do you normally take? -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 12:46 2
  - This may not be representative because I post a lot of stuff for friends and family, but here is my flickr. - Fuzzy Jul 17, 12:55 [flickr] 1
    - architectural photography is all about finding throughlines in the shot. - Reagen Jul 17, 13:01
I was a pallbearer for the first time ever today. first thing is damn those things are heavy. second is that there was a photographer from the paper. - dogbert183 Jul 17, 12:45 18
- :( -- nm - Epiphany Jul 17, 12:54
- I've been a pallbearer 3 times - Brian Jul 17, 12:49 12
  - 3 grandfathers, two grandmothers, a mother-in-law, an aunt. Others I can't recall. -- nm - tee-woo-gee Jul 17, 12:58
  - yea, once I saw the guy taking pictures all I tought about was how extra bad it would be to trip -- nm - dogbert183 Jul 17, 12:53 1
    - I was very afraid of this the time I did it. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 17, 12:55
  - Six for me. -- nm - Spawn Jul 17, 12:53
  - I have been once, for my grandfather. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 17, 12:50
  - I have been several times and I find it pretty horrifying. - David Jul 17, 12:50
  - are women ever pallbearers? I have never been asked and don't think I've seen it. -- nm - loosilu Jul 17, 12:50 5
    - yes. it's rare, though. -- nm - b. Jul 17, 12:54 1
      - I'm sure the height difference alone is an issue, never mind tradition. -- nm - loosilu Jul 17, 12:55
    - I don't think I've seen it either - Brian Jul 17, 12:51 1
      - it's not a task I want. -- nm - loosilu Jul 17, 12:51
    - I would say never. -- nm - mara Jul 17, 12:50
- I've done too many. Most recently my step-dad's dad. I think his casket was cast iron. -- nm - tee-woo-gee Jul 17, 12:47
- please tell me you did not smile and say "cheese" - b. Jul 17, 12:47 1
  - that would have been in poor taste. I went with the "thumbs up" and a wink - dogbert183 Jul 17, 12:52
- More importantly, were you front or back? - Spawn Jul 17, 12:46
TWuG: answer... - Dr.Vermin Jul 17, 12:43 1
- Thank you. An honest and fair assessment. I like you, too, despite our differing viewpoints. - tee-woo-gee Jul 17, 12:46
Two weeks ago, my car was almost hit by a truck speeding through a red light. He would have hit the driver's side (he was coming from my left). He - mara Jul 17, 12:43 7
- geesh. close one. -- nm - Epiphany Jul 17, 12:55
- another reason I'm glad I don't drive, but to be fair, probably just as likely to be a pedestrian and have this happen to you. -- nm - znufrii Jul 17, 12:46
- I was once in a taxi that got hit like this. To this day I never go thru an intersection without checking for red runner. - loosilu Jul 17, 12:45
- so glad for that "almost"! -- nm - b. Jul 17, 12:44
- that happened to me in Baltimore (cept it was a van). if i came to that intersection 2 seconds sooner, i wouldn't be typing this - just dug Jul 17, 12:44
- yikes -- nm - Beryllium Jul 17, 12:44
- Scray. -- nm - lileve Jul 17, 12:43
Maybe we need a mascot. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 17, 12:43 8
- No, it is past that point. We need a therapist -- nm - amoxy Jul 17, 12:44 4
  - We need group sex. -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 12:46 1
    - Hello soldier. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 17, 12:47
  - Oh, fuck no. -- nm - Dr. Katz si Jul 17, 12:45
  - *laughing* -- nm - mara Jul 17, 12:45
- *pushes znufrii forward* -- nm - Loyola Jul 17, 12:43 1

- Genitals. -- nm - lileve Jul 17, 12:43
lolol! -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 12:42
Wow Just Wow -- nm - amoxy Jul 17, 12:41 1
- I tried to convince them you are a guy, but they still placed that ad for you. - tRuMaN Jul 17, 12:43
Seriously, has anyone changed more than David has over the course of their tenure here? nm - Dignan Jul 17, 12:40 61
- He can change into Mary Poppins but I am still using DLC as a level of extreme craziness - Epiphany Jul 17, 12:57
- I was straight when I started. -- nm - (500) Days of Dano Jul 17, 12:49 8
  - me too! -- nm - ty97 Jul 17, 12:53
  - which woman was it? -- nm - loosilu Jul 17, 12:53 1
    - I think it was when you spurned me. -- nm - (500) Days of Dano Jul 17, 12:56
  - yeah, that'll happen. -- nm - Callisto Jul 17, 12:51 4
    - are you saying it's contagious? -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 12:52 1
      - Well, you hung out with him after the change. You might still be okay. -- nm - Callisto Jul 17, 12:53
    - no way, man. I for one have become a better lover of STers. -- nm - Max Jul 17, 12:52 1
      - max for most improved lover! -- nm - just dug Jul 17, 12:53
- (I...have?) -- nm - David Jul 17, 12:45 14
  - Dude, you used to be involved in a different flame war *every day.* nm - Dignan Jul 17, 12:49 2
    - Yeah, but that's been the case since Ash came up with Ash Land in like 2001. - David Jul 17, 12:53 1
      - Yeah, I'm not talking about the last few years. I'm looking back to '99/'00. nm - Dignan Jul 17, 12:57
  - If you did change it was before I joined. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 17, 12:48
  - Not in my opinion. -- nm - Spawn Jul 17, 12:48 9
    - agreed -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 17, 12:49 6
      - sfen. I think its just that people know some of us better. - tRuMaN Jul 17, 12:50 5
        
        I...have a glaring tendency to take charge, sorry. -- nm - David Jul 17, 12:51 4
        
        eh, it doesnt bother me know - tRuMaN Jul 17, 12:53 3
        
        I do but I'm still sorry. It's so ingrained in me that even when I consciously try not to do it, it's hard. - David Jul 17, 12:56 1
        
        (I'll be in Vancouver) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 17, 13:00
        
        -k -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 17, 12:53
    - agreed. - Callisto Jul 17, 12:49 1
      - See what Dignan said above. He's much more the peacemaker than in the past. - Inigo Jul 17, 12:53
- I was an unapologetic troll my first few months in 2000. No question. - Dr.Vermin Jul 17, 12:45 8
  - "was"? :) -- nm - loosilu Jul 17, 12:47 3
    - well, now he's apologetic. - Beryllium Jul 17, 12:48 2
      - he is?? -- nm - loosilu Jul 17, 12:49 1
        
        (yes) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 17, 12:50
  - You and dawson are a lot alike, actually. -- nm - David Jul 17, 12:46 3
    - That stings a little! - Dr.Vermin Jul 17, 12:51 1
      - I want to stress it wasn't intended as a dig in the least. You're both semi-recovering provacateurs. -- nm - David Jul 17, 12:53
    - *klaxons* -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 12:48
- *tentatively raises hand* -- nm - loosilu Jul 17, 12:44 3
  - *.... and points it to david* -- nm - b. Jul 17, 12:45 2
    - I don't remember old David. I've never fought with him myself. - loosilu Jul 17, 12:46 1
      - he was frequently *intense* among other things. - b. Jul 17, 12:49
- YES -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 17, 12:43
- Most improved poster! - Inigo Jul 17, 12:43
- I have changed with regards to how I *choose* to take other people's comments. (e.g. IGNORE) -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 12:43 2
  - yup. I find it *very* easy to ignore and not respond to stuff that bugs me. - Callisto Jul 17, 12:46 1
    - If a thread bugs me, I don't scroll down to it. Ever again. -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 12:50
- I've changed a lot, I think. I know a lot of people used to think I was pretty annoying. Now only a couple do. :-) -- nm - mara Jul 17, 12:42 10
  - I still think you're the 'interesting link' Queen of all-time. - Dr.Vermin Jul 17, 12:55
  - As an aside, the angriest I've ever been on the internet was over Steve's post to you that time. - David Jul 17, 12:48 5
    - Ditto. He also made some truly hateful posts to liioulou. nm - Dignan Jul 17, 12:52 4
      - yes. ugh. -- nm - b. Jul 17, 12:57
      - Oh yeah, I remember that now. -- nm - David Jul 17, 12:54
      - What's the meanest post you ever made? -- nm - Max Jul 17, 12:53 1
        
        Oddly enough, it was probably something I said to loosi back when she first started posting. nm - Dignan Jul 17, 12:55
  - Yeah, I remember when ever other post was "Beyond the Sea! Splish Splash!" SO tedious... -- nm - Max Jul 17, 12:47
  - you're a fave of mine and you regularly crack me up. Especially since you started drinking beer. -- nm - Diva Jul 17, 12:43 1
    - :-) Thanks. -- nm - mara Jul 17, 12:47
- "most improved poster"! -- nm - b. Jul 17, 12:42
- Most Improved Poster right here, bitches. -- nm - Max Jul 17, 12:42
- "Still Crazy" is an excellent movie, apropos of nothing. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 17, 12:41 2
  - Would you give it an A or an A+? nm - Dignan Jul 17, 12:43 1
    - this one goes to eleven ... - Beryllium Jul 17, 12:43
- *I* used to fight with him, back in the old the-money days. -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 12:41 1
  - He went from Mike Tyson to Bobby McFerrin so fast that I didn't see it happen. nm - Dignan Jul 17, 12:46
everythings so blurry and everyones so fake -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 17, 12:40
dear unknown cow orker who who moved the pot of regular to brew a fresh pot of decaf and forgot to turn on the warmer. - znufrii Jul 17, 12:39 5
- But it's decaf, so who gives a crap? -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 12:41 3
  - "Dad doesn't hit me at home. Maybe it's his coffee." "No, I've been serving him decaf. He's probably just an asshole." -- nm - Max Jul 17, 12:44
  - it's the regular coffee that's cold. -- nm - znufrii Jul 17, 12:41 1
    - nuke it? -- nm - Troll si Jul 17, 12:42
- see, this is *exactly* what mel is talking about. toxic! -- nm - just dug Jul 17, 12:40
