Another week.
A week of hope. A week of excitement. A week in which too much time was spent on computers around the world.
And that week is presented here, in short, easy-to-digest snippets that have never been regurgitated by animals and are therefore vegan.
The Victory!
The place to go for all of your legitimate message board needs!
- Debate ensued over whether Show 1 or Show 2 was and will be better on the cruise. I suggest somehow getting into both shows, so you don’t have to decide.
- A message board poster by the name of ToasterBoy would like to be the open mike host next year. His website didn’t open for me, so I can’t make fun of him now.
- A few more UK people joined the board and, presumably, the cruise as well. Soon, they’ll be outnumbering us N. America folk.
- There will be at least one guitar on the cruise! Which will go well with the egg shakers, cowbells, and kazoos that the rest of us might bring…
- Age is relative.
- Ft. Lauderdale and Miami are quite close to each other, a distance which can be bridged by either car or train, should you fly into the wrong city.
- Pioneer Radio has started playing the DJ of the week things! But not mine yet, so I refuse to get excited.
- The Washington state people have begun to vaguely discuss meeting up at some time. But do not have anywhere near the planning acumen of those in California.
- Several people will be staying with relatives before the cruise. Since my nearest relatives to Florida live in Toronto, I will not be one of those people.
- Some people drove to Florida last year and might again next year. That’s a long, long drive.
- The Southern California message board gathering is TOMORROW! I will feel so lost without their planning to report on after this week…
- The cruise is kid-friendly
– Camp Carnival makes it so you never even have to see them!
- New people posted their cabins, some of which they will apparently be sharing with others on the board. If you want to check this all out, the maps should be fixed.
- People on the Verandah deck congratulated themselves on picking such a wonderful deck.
Caribbean Lounge!
A place to fawn over/complain about musical acts!
- The bands that have been booked for S&DIII were discussed. The relative merits of Trippin’ Balls and Guster were discussed at length. I thought the chicken-killing thing was cool.
- Garyrulez needs to know how to get to Detroit.
- Some insanely lucky people in London could win a contest for a private-ish Guster concert. Doesn’t sound like anyone around here won…
- Guster will play at the Orange County Fair with Toad the Wet Sprocket. One of my friends here in New York would just about die if she could see that line-up…
- The f’in evil people of Artpark should not be allowed to have concerts if they’re just going to add rows in front of MY formerly-front row seat.
The Grand Buffet!
Where there is discussion of food. And just about everything else that many weird people can come up with...
- We have a new top poster and it is WE. WildEagle, in a true orgy of posting, made it to the number one posting position in less than 3 months on the board. Let this be an example to all newbies!
- Other posters reached important milestones as well. CayCay became the 15th person to reach 1000 posts, while polyester_angel, personal venus, and 2kids5cats all hit 2000. If you don’t care about post counts, then this means nothing to you. But what is life without meaningless goals and accomplishments?
- In Harry Potter news, annaonthemoon knows someone at the Leaky Cauldron website, which is just plain cool. And Harry WILL NOT die. If I say it enough, do you think it will come true?
- Patrick Warburton is a man of many voices.
- Using old oil for deep-frying is a fairly disturbing, but apparently common, practice.
- The oldest living twins are really quite old.
- annaonthemoon made a really cool basket as a wedding present. I now need to get married so that I can have one too.
- There is a radio contest to get to BBQ with BNL in Detroit. It’ll probably be won by the same people who get the pit seating at Artpark… Grumble…
- One of Shell’s many avatars brought up Dexter, which is a pretty cool show that I wish I could watch.
- We don’t like obnoxious pedestrians anymore than we like bad drivers.
- The sarcasm thread was SO COOL. It sucks so much that it’s died down. I just don’t think I’ll be able to go on without it.
- Many think that Katherine Heigl is hot.
- Shell is a curmudgeon who doesn’t like the loud and rowdy people at rock concerts that he chooses to go to. And only lesbians like the Indigo Girls.
- Hell House = creepy. The people who put on a Hell House = way creepier.
- We now know how to pronounce personal venus’ real name. And how to make fun of it (and other names) in song.
- just_Andrea and I both lack the ability to snap with our right hands. It’s overrated.
- If you can’t sleep, I suggest reading this board until you pass out.
- ketchup thinks Amicus prefers shoes and BNL to him. ketchup and Amicus have shoe issues.
- The many couples who post here have posted a lot, but none can hold a candle to the posting prowess of the Doodles.
- 2kids’ random questions were embraced and resurrected by T.B.A.
- People collect weird stuff (Santas???).
- We briefly discussed the merits of choosing BNL over your family.
- Many newbies joined in the insanity. Notable arrivals include T.B.A (91 posts in just a few days – could this be a new WE?), his uncles (skates and BriBT), and athousanddreams. Yay to the brave newbies!!!
- Both gas and milk prices are way too high (and highest for Rankin). It is possible to make pumping gas very, very dirty.
- 2kids5cats was quite sick this week. What this meant for the rest of us was a series of topics headed by pictures of large snakes, waterfall excursions, an interesting manicure, the funky stilt dude, an unfortunate Superman, death by shoes, a backwards head, twisted people, that very pierced guy who spawned much debate, and the creepy change-in-nose person. 2kids has apologized for some of these pictures.
- 95 people were online at one point on Monday. Does anybody remember why this was? I think I might have been one of them, but I can’t think of what was so important.
- The balcony depth was sufficient.
- Canada doesn’t have the Stanley Cup again. That really just seems wrong somehow.
- Shell has an avatar-changing problem.
- Pan’s Labyrinth is a good movie. But creepy. Really, really creepy.
- The post notification thing from this board is kind of screwy. Right after posting that I didn’t get notifications anymore, I got three. And haven’t gotten any since. Screwy.
- NiceyDoodle crashed her car. Nicey was mocked by WildEagle. Then karma stepped in, and WE crashed his car. Does this mean the Doodles have no vehicles?
- The never-ending attempt to identify Garyrulez continued. We will apparently fail.
- If this message board does not provide enough time-wasting for you, why not try fantasy baseball or hockey? That should cover it.
- Some people will not be drinking on the cruise. I will not be one of those people.
- High school memories can be nostalgic and they can be painful. The best thing I can say about high school is that it was better than middle school…
- Microsoft. Word.
- Lots of goofy names out there. Parents can be so mean…
- There was much debate over the issue of posting topics about yourself (I don’t need to, since I just post this every week and get to say whatever I want ) and the way certain names are associated with certain types of posts. We argued about arguments. Some of us grew nervous at the realization that there were lurkers reading EVERY WORD and keeping silent… . Several people with more than 2000 posts each discussed how they often felt like lurkers.
- The important issue of which condiments people would like to be was addressed.
- Jericho will be renewed. What do you think CBS did with all the nuts?
- Rock n’ Roll Jeopardy with BNL people was cool. More shows, Alaina!
- Smoked meat is yummy, as are other foods.
- This week’s animal invasion stories involved cute baby skunks, sleeping bag-invading raccoons, and bats. Not dead snakes…
- polyester_angel time-traveled from June 5 to June 2, which is somehow related to PV. Martinis can be tasty. Honey (aka bee puke) is not vegan.
- More terribly important and useful information was imparted about the person above…
- Oh how the girls talked! Poor T.B.A. picked a bad first thread... Penii come in a variety of sizes and can be made to tingle with minty KY. Alaina is way cool and will someday (soon, probably) have boys chasing her all over. If not, see Ellen for a gypsy curse. I dated two of the guy types on Wednesday. Neither of them have called me. Stupid Elation blind dates…
- How is it that we’ve asked 62 pages of questions?
- Unfortunately, the Fortunately/Unfortunately thread has only 7 pages. Fortunately, it’s been around for a much shorter time.
- The guys have moved on to other sports. College sports are way bigger in the US than in Canada. I don’t get it either.
- Church readerboards can be funny.
- If you don’t know your ABCs, pick one of our 87 pages (although preferably one in which certain letters are not skipped).
- We now know how to make goulash and how to cut mangoes/avocados.
- Bacon returns! (Thank you so much for making it possible for me to say that. )
- If this board isn’t weird enough for you otherwise, I suggest reading the 3 word story.
- Kids and their access to technology is an issue these days.
- It’s “someone’s” birthday! Happy Birthday Whoever you are!
- The guy who plays Dr. Burke on Gray’s Anatomy was fired. Not a surprise, even to those of us who don’t actually watch the show.
- This week brought some f’in hot weather. Amicus needs to work on this.
- There are lots of good vocalists out there, which makes it really hard to pick a top 5. Steve was well-represented, for some strange reason…
- If you want to get people really upset and angry on a message board, just ask if the message board makes people upset or angry. If they weren’t before, they will be.
Peace. Love. Post.
And that’s all folks.
