I don't get this either.

but hey, maybe I'm the only one happy to see hyde back around.

Were we aware that they bothered him? This was the first I had heard of it. And yes, I will stop it. -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 11:34
I don't have a horse in this race...but everytime I complain about annoying posts, I get told the same thing. - Jim Mar 1, 11:33 4
- just cause that's what you get told doesn't necessarily make it appropriate. - Callisto Mar 1, 11:36 1
  - I agree...but it's pretty much par for the course around here. not just for me, but for everyone. nm - Jim Mar 1, 11:38
- How many of those annoying posts are directed at you? - Will Hunting Mar 1, 11:34
- i'd prefer no swearing at all on ST but that's obviously not going to happen - jingoist pixie Mar 1, 11:34
See, this is why we need User Profiles on ST. Then we can put "don't make jokes about my ... " in it -- nm - oblique Mar 1, 11:33 24
- #dontfuckwithme -- nm - TFox Mar 1, 11:35
- that's what the wiki is for! -- nm - Max Mar 1, 11:35 2
  - When do we get contextual links on ST to the wiki? So like if someone posts something about a burrito, we can hover over the word - oblique Mar 1, 11:36

  - Sterility might not be a bad outcome for some STers. -- nm - TWuG Mar 1, 11:37 1
    - to some it might even be an improvement -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 1, 11:42
  - there's about 5 running jokes about people that have carried over from TT. it's not that hard -- nm - jingoist pixie Mar 1, 11:36 8

      - in this case it ends at the "hyde is old" jokes because he drew the line - jingoist pixie Mar 1, 11:41 3

        we'll deal with that reality if and when it actually happens - jingoist pixie Mar 1, 11:51
        
        I'm pretty sure the other 50% will make fun of them for it - oblique Mar 1, 11:47
      - The dude is just saying lay off the old jokes regarding him...and somehow this is a battle for ST censorship vs not? C'mon - Will Hunting Mar 1, 11:40 2
        
        Actually...had he said "lay off the old jokes...seriously" or something like that...this thread probably wouldn't be here right now. - Jim Mar 1, 11:48

- I'm not averse to this suggestion, but is it OK if I file it under "oh, this will end well"? :) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 11:33 7
  - i think the point goes back to original takes on a running joke, which would be nice sometimes. -- nm - Andie Mar 1, 11:35 4
    - like what? the return of the Cheerleader? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 11:37 3
      - i sort of don't want to tangent off here, but, *personally*, i don't find just a mention of an old joke funny. if you play it differently, or subvert - Andie Mar 1, 11:38 2
        
        what about going Pauly Shore on the "buddy" stuff, and inventing fake surfertalk wordplay variants? Would that be original? - Beryllium Mar 1, 11:40 1
        
        i'll take what i can get. :) -- nm - Andie Mar 1, 11:40
  - If you implement it as an uploaded picture, I'm sure it will be fine -- nm - oblique Mar 1, 11:34 1

I really do wish people would show some originality from time to time. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 11:32
