OK folks, here it is – the way over-anticipated, extra-special DOUBLE week in review. For those of you not keeping track, I was on vacation last week and not posting much (really – my post count was WAY down) and therefore did not feel obligated to tell you all about what I was only skimming. But now I’m back, with an unfortunate amount of free time… And without further ado, here are the last 2 weeks on the message board:
The Victory
Where all the real news is…
- Sixthman got to eat BBQ with BNL and hinted that cool, new stuff will happen on S&DIII. Who knows what that will be…
- We now have a discount code for AirTran. Everybody book your flights right away!
- Some people actually have booked flights. They are much more organized than I am. If you do book a flight, Sixthman would be happy to insure it for you.
- Several new people have booked cabins. Yay new people!
- We were all pretty bored while waiting for our return flights after the cruise. Next year, we should all book flights that leave at 9 AM on the return date. That should cut down on the boredom…
- You can still buy a wristband and be cool like the rest of us.
- The So. Cal. gathering now has a date, time, location, and list of who’s bringing what. Man they’re organized!
- PJ’s cruise countdown thing is totally cool. I’ve got it all over the place now…
- Cruise insurance costs 5% of your cost. Or you can live dangerously.
- People are deciding when to arrive in Miami. Some of those people are factoring in time to get tattoos. Tattoos scare me.
The Caribbean Lounge
- The Steve thread died when we couldn’t think of any more ways to say that he can sing really, really well.
- Thin Buckle and someone named Brent Dennen were discussed.
- Ellen in St. Louis got to go to the concert in Memphis. Lucky Ellen. The concert was apparently good. In her words, “BNL kicked ass, tossed the ass down in the crowd, invited it back up on stage, kicked it again, made fun of it, and at the end had the ass screaming for more.”
- There was some trouble listening to Pioneer Radio, but it’s OK now.
- Ed got a thread. Ed is cool, hot, funny, has a cool country voice, doesn’t drink, might have smoked pot with Willie Nelson, and was briefly missed when stephg dared to change her avatar.
- There might be more Ed’s Up on YouTube whenever the wonderful ShortAlaina can get it up. Yay!
- Garyrulez was disappointed in the lack of response to his banter thread. But it’s just so hard to pick one banter to love!
The Grand Buffet
Where the action really is (be warned, this summary alone is 3 pages as a Word document)… And is the reason why this Week in Review takes so darn long to write…
- I was on vacation. This is the most important thing that happened in the past two weeks, and none of you are allowed to argue that point.
- Several people reached their 1000th post. I believe they were personal venus, NikkiPoooo, WildEagle, and Michelle in WI. safinch would have too, but he is being very Stupid Elation and is now missing.
- Those who have reached 1000 posts are invited to join us in the Honeycomb Hideout, where we expect the Kool-Aid man to soon come crashing through the walls.
- annaonthemoon got back from Ann Arbor and SA. She seems to be missing both quite a lot.
- Many were wished a happy Mother’s Day. Yay Mothers!
- Several people have weird pictures in their photobuckets. Strangely enough, this does not surprise me.
- Unsurprisingly, many of us who waste too much time on the message board also waste time reading comic strips.
- A guy named DarkJedi and his date made a most interesting fashion decision… I’m still convinced that chain mail would chafe.
- Those who watch the Tudors now have information on its theme song. I don’t get Showtime and therefore refuse to care.
- There are many ways to cook carrots. personal_venus used her 1000th post to explain one way. I still hate cooked carrots.
- The discussion of the 80s was miraculously one of the most on-topic threads ever – 7 pages and hardly a digression to be seen!
- There were many naked Mexicans. But we’re still cooler.
- We discussed our earliest memories. I bet many of you have already forgotten that we did that.
- Summer was here! It seems to have left again, but it was nice while it lasted.
- You can find out factoids about your birthday and then do some numerology! And they say that the internet wastes time…
- Shell’s ears were plugged, but then he took some pet medicine that makes you want to shop a lot.
- Nikkipoooo visits http://www.penisland.com./
- LadyPage survived a voyage on the Stupid Elation. I still don’t trust it.
- We waxed nostalgic about our first cars…
- Lots of people collect state quarters. I got a South Dakota yesterday! Is Washington out yet?
- Two days left to enter the tofu haiku contest! I know they’ll love mine…
- We filled 6 pages with various foods we don’t like. We’re obviously very picky eaters.
- We have a thread called the 6 Degrees of Hasselhoff. There’s nothing I can say to make that any cooler.
- The Tragically Hip were discussed. And Sarah Polley, who I still think of as that little girl in the Avonlea show.
- A discussion of Canadian spy coins led to Talking to Americans (oh so funny…), our love of Tim Horton’s, iced tea, teabagging, a blond personal venus, and Rankin’s stolen donuts.
- Intervention is apparently a TV show. I’ve never seen it.
- We discussed movies (mostly for kids) that people have seen or will see.
- MoodyCat has pictures of a stuffed bird on the cruise. Did the bird get a discount?
- The Sopranos episode that Michelle saw being taped was aired. I don’t watch that show either.
- We’ve got a lot of allergies. Allergies suck.
- But Ramen is cool! I love Ramen! Yay Japanese noodles with no nutritional value!
- Our “can’t do” thread revealed our general incompetence as a group. And our Coke vs. Pepsi issues and the pigs game.
- I saw the Magic Eye thing! I am so cool! But nowhere near as cool as Musical Genius.
- Michelle in WI has scary and disturbing avatar ideas and a cartoon for a husband.
- Barenaked Chickens! What could I add to that?
- Guys desperately want to watch chick flicks and pretend that it’s still cool for guys to do so.
- We are on a desperate search for good television, hampered by the fact that the evil network people are happily slashing away at all the good shows in a nefarious effort to make everything on TV a reality show. Stupid Elation network executives…
- The Lost home game is dumb (although the show still rocks). But then WildEagle announced he was going to get some, and the thread died.
- We all found out what everyone else was listening to at that exact moment. Probably not the most exciting thread ever, but we still filled several pages with it.
- 2kids5cats needs a kitten in order to stop living a message board-name lie.
- There are many weird town names. Apparently, this reflects poorly on WildEagle.
- There was some nostalgia/humor with regard to our old yearbooks. Did anybody else ever have trouble with people not spelling their name correctly when the book was being signed?
- Hoff and the puppies returned. A new definition of horror has arrived…
- To quote Shell: “Michael Crichton is a douchebag”
- Dancing with the Stars was discussed. But because I have no interest in that show, I will not say what was discussed.
- 13 is everywhere and is probably out to get you. And now people know fun facts about where I went to college!
- annaonthemoon needed cheering up. Worked for me…
- STFU you FHs if you expect me to write more about that thread.
- Penis pictures and (gummy) candies are fun!
- safinch reached the post count of 999 and promptly disappeared. We should hold a telethon or something to raise awareness and find him.
- We have several couples who post a lot, but Nicey and WE are the most closely matched. That seems important to WE.
- Steve blogged about crocs. And we all discussed.
- We learned that people in Montreal are crazy drunks who speak a weird language. Thanks Michele!
- The Dishrack has a Myspace and will probably soon have more friends than me.
- ketchup confessed to being just about every appliance…
- We shared many amusing stories from our childhood and showed that some of us liked explosions and others of us liked to run around in our underwear.
- polyester_angel finished her college-type school that I still don’t entirely understand (sorry Michele).
- The guys (and many girls, to be fair) talked some more about hockey. Very exciting things that I don’t quite follow seem to be happening.
- Pop won! Screw you soda! Sorry, several years of pent-up annoyance at all the East Coast-ers who laughed at me saying pop all these years. Also, hamburgers are yummy (although a little creepy when served on a donut).
- There was speculation with regard to “The Ultimate Barenaked Ladies Giveaway.” In our minds, this means anything from a free CD to Barenaked love children…
- The girls talked about PA’s date (we’re all jealous), our detested monthly cycles, male menopause, making out and other PDAs, inhibitions (or lack thereof), an orgy in my honor, and the availability of those who work on the cruise ship.
- We had a big hello for hello_city, which we do for every single new post-er on this board. Really.
- We still know our ABCs (but are still working on some of the other letters). 48 pages later…
- Prom will be online this year. Come join us for a popinjay-planned extravaganza featuring an open bar, all sorts of interesting couples (and trios, quads, etc.), fantastic attire, and my date. Have you seen my date? http://www.dennisblackwell.com/modfab/hgb/frederic1.jpg
- 2kids asked some more random questions. Which many of us could not help but answer.
- How long can people answer questions with another question? Would you believe for 19 pages so far? Why would people do this? Is it possibly because they’re loonies?
- Politics was discussed. And I’m not going to discuss it anymore, so stop goading me ketchup!
- Jericho (the show, in case you’re like me and never watched it) is going to be canceled. Apparently this sucks as much as the cancellation of Veronica Mars. But I doubt it.
- We all know so much about the people above us that it’s kind of scary. What on earth will we all talk about in January when we finally meet?
And that, my dear virtual friends, is all of it. At least it’s all of it that I care to write about. If some of it is incoherent, especially toward the end, be kind. Because there was a helluva lot of posting during these last two weeks.*
* Hey, remember when we were worried that everybody would stop posting, and the board would just kind of die? Guess we shouldn’t have worried so much…
