Advance apologies if this trails off mid-sentence anywhere. I’m tired. But my duty to this board is more important to me than silly, useless things like sleep! Or sanity, for that matter.
So, without further ado, the Week in Review (I miss the poetry thread…):
First, a brief mention of the Seven Seas Lobby and the Indian Library. People do post in these threads. Just not very much. So just go read them yourselves, you lazy message board readers! I can’t do everything around here…
Now, on to the Victory!
- Fin still hasn’t answered any of our questions. I don’t think he loves us anymore…
- Many people wanted to copy the excellent t-shirt designs that have been posted. Remember, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. And will be kind of funny when everyone shows up in “If lost, please return to room ___” shirts on the cruise. Are you all that worried about not getting back to the cabin?
- So Cal people are still planning their gathering. I’m going to kind of miss it when they actually have the gathering, and I can’t mention the planning anymore.
- People are happy not to be teenagers anymore. I agree.
- More UK folk will be joining us. They should post more.
- Despite the lameness that was Medusa’s Lair, many are planning to boogie on the next cruise.
- The full contents of Jamba Juice have been made available to us. I still want to know that company’s comments on the fact that one translation of their name means Fart Juice.
- Sixthman is still working on a host hotel. I just can’t believe there are people organized enough to want that information already!
- The origins of “See you on the cruise!” were discussed. I had honestly never thought about this before.
- There will be guitars. Consult nvcatgut if you are at all unclear about this.
Now, in brief, because I’m tired and still need to deal with the Buffet, here’s the week as it was in the Caribbean Lounge:
- We have some confirmed artists for the cruise! I, for one, am kind of relieved that BNL and Guster are on it.
- Gaelic Storm and Guster both rocked.
- Guster needs to work on their geography, or possibly just their route planning, though.
- In case there ever was any doubt, there are now several WE (HEART) EVERYONE-IN-BNL THREADS to choose from.
- BNL concerts are coming! Yay!
Now, the moment that you’ve all been waiting for and that I’ve been dreading to type, the Grand Buffet:
- The biggest news of the week is of course that WildEagle hit 2000. WE joined this board on March 10. Of THIS YEAR. Since his post rate has since increased, if anything, I expect he’ll leave us all in the posting dust within the next few weeks. Scary…
- annaonthemoon hit 1000, meaning that there are now 14 posters with more than 1000 posts apiece. Who knew there were so many of us freaks out there?
- Also important, I am, however briefly, the number one poster. But if I keep writing posts as long as this one, I won’t have time to stay in that spot…
- Star Wars is now 30. So am I. Yay 30!
- There was a little more nostalgia for the departing shows. But we’ve mostly moved on. Except for the Jericho fans, who have found a novel use for mail-order nuts.
- Thanks to exportedmolson, we all understand that car racing is a sport, despite its use of motor vehicles.
- The merits of cats and dogs being used as alarm clocks was debated. I really hope the Humane Society doesn’t read this board…
- Puking in pools is really, really gross. I don’t want to think about this anymore.
- Rubber chickens + throwing fake blood = science.
- The Muppets are totally cool. And should be adored by all.
- European condom ads are also totally cool. And were adored by all.
- People defined their MySpace coolness by friend requests by the Odds. I didn’t get one, but that’s only because I was already their friend.
- Ringtones can be entertaining.
- HAIL! (I can’t think of anything to say about this.)
- REM wrote a song with lyrics so confusing that even they don’t know them.
- Many things make us laugh. Many of those things are on YouTube.
- A few of us were annoyed by a brief Internal Service Error. But it’s gone now, so we can get on with our important message boarding.
- We came back from Memorial Day weekend. That was a really boring holiday.
- Pirates of the Caribbean 3 was mostly viewed favorably and made lots of booty. Some theaters are cooler than others.
- There are many disturbing ramifications of 40 becoming 20…
- Bob Fosse, hockey, and curling were brought together. As it should be.
- Our iPod reviews were in no way endorsed by Apple. But they probably could have been.
- Desk moving is hard, hot tubs are fun, and WE can get you stuff.
- “What’s the worst that can happen” was the greatest message board game ever! Until it was suddenly run over by an old woman muttering “Damned cats.” And then it exploded.
- Everything old is new again in fashion.
- News is interesting, Harry Potter might be evil, there are possible upsides to book burning, many kids’ series books are crap, and there are many ways to inspire reading.
- Weight was lost.
- Ed sang Brian Wilson. And it was weird.
- Nicey’s new avatar appears to be a nuclear alpaca. And proves that cute and creepy can go together.
- Some songs are disturbing. But considering that screwed-up musicians write them, we shouldn’t be so surprised.
- Insomnia sucks. Especially when you don’t get to sleep because you’re writing insanely long weekly review posts…
- Gwen Stefani sucks. And PA should have known better…
- The Superbowl is right after the cruise. And football has reared its ugly, helmeted head among the guys…
- More cool crafts were crafted.
- Sandals can be silly. And possibly made out of cats.
- PA is too important at work to see BNL.
- But she still needed our help to get lunch and plan her day…
- The sarcasm thread has got to be the ABSOLUTE COOLEST THREAD EVER! I just can’t stop reading it. You’re all just SO witty and cool that I can’t even begin to handle it.
- Songs can have associations that we might not want.
- There were a few more quotes.
- Many bathing suits are scary. And inspire insane amounts of Wednesday night posting on how much posting is good, the relative coolness of posting, Slurpees and chips, and the meat content of french fries.
- Not everyone in Wisconsin knows each other, apparently.
- Misheard lyrics just make the songs that much better.
- Education results in pains in the head and even more pains in the back.
- Shoe sizes are related to fluffers which are related to Crocs which are related to Corgis which are related to penii. Go figure.
- The politics thread, which had already turned to religion, turned from missionaries to banana hammocks to gardening to perversion to scuba diving to swimming lessons to snake-killing flip-flops to missionaries to vacationing in the Doodle’s yard to okey dokey to movies…
- We now have 76 pages of the ABCs…
- If this board ever gives you a headache, there are many remedies for that.
- Knocked Up was funny.
- Nicey is apparently a reckless parking lot driver and was much mocked by her husband.
- More questions from 2kids… (Are they going to keep coming? )
- Many sounds are annoying. But message boards are silent…
- We debated the merits of posting entire threads about oneself. As someone who’s done this, I should probably support the practice. But I’d rather be a hypocrite and will stand firm against it.
- Fortunately, we have a new game on the board. Unfortunately, it led to many posts that I had to read very quickly before writing the review.
- Oh how the girls talked! There were dates! And there were sexual positions and locations!
- Harry Potter is great (the books, not the movies, which are only OK) and WILL NOT DIE.
- Other drivers are almost as annoying as those people in the movie theaters.
- Is it possible that the questions thread has reached 51 pages?
- There are ways to entertain yourself on the internet. Other than this message board.
- Record sales are just plain weird.
- As is anything having to do with the phrase “Polyester Opening…”
And on that note, I’m going to bed.
