I'm doing this again, mostly because I don't want to work at the moment, and there aren't enough messages otherwise for my procrastination. Plus, if you missed anything this week, you'll be sorry forever. This doesn't mean there will be Weeks in Review forever though. Don't get complacent...
So here's the week, in order of the topics I remembered first:
- A relatively normal discussion about the naming of computers led to a discussion of the naming of inanimate objects. Then we all found out that Gary has plans to name his (left) sock Doug and his daughter Gandalf.
- The above conversation sent the whole board directly into the Twilight Zone, where the newly-named inanimate objects took over entire threads (at least 3) with discussions of their sordid love lives. To date, no one has admitted to a secret identity as a DishRack, KitchenSink, Salt Shaker, or D. Washer. Only Amicus knows...
- A discussion of what our names would be if... proved (if the above conversations did not) that we are all freaks.
- Despite rampant freakishness, UK S&Ders appealed to patriotism and the state of British music in order to get more of their kind aboard next year. Unfortunately, none of these exhortations have gotten me a 5th roommate (we're still looking, if anyone's interested...)
- WildEagle has a new avatar that looks like a big rock penis. It was commented on many, many times. He's still not satisfied.
- Despite many of us having tickets to the show, BNL are still not officially listed at Artpark in Buffalo in June.
- Last week's sandwich thread died amidst book and musical reviews.
- Some people had Cleveland tickets for sale. They're probably already gone...
- Although Michelle in WI is back in WI, and thus back in our lives, both annaonthemoon and Shell were out of town. Didn't stop them from posting...
- Oh, and Michelle saw Tony Soprano in Vegas!
- The people in Southern California are still the only ones who are trying to meet each other. The rest of us are probably too lazy.
- We talked about the weather. It was crappy and cold in the NE at the beginning of the week. Now it's nice and beautiful. I don't really care about the rest of you.
- The Brits have a really good exchange rate at the moment and should therefore buy the rest of us poor economy people drinks on the cruise.
- There was unanimous consensus that NikkiPoooo's hair looks great.
- The Guster fans raved about past and future concerts. I totally missed them in New York...
- Weight loss success was reported, and some people ran. Some with their dogs, others with their cats...
- The world outside this message board totally sucked and wasn't funny at all.
- Hotels in Miami are officially expensive. Members of this message board are officially cheap.
- PA tried to raise the cultural level our discussion by bringing up Shakespeare. Unfortunately, we are a people who are more likely to reply to a thread that deals with kitchen appliances and their love lives.
- We still like stuff, including the stalking of certain inanimate objects.
- Some people want to go to Key West after the cruise. I'm sure it's nice, but I'll be way too broke by then...
- PV finally had her birthday. The weeklong celebrations continued!
- There was a scary laughing man. If there is a God, this man will never come near our cruise.
- Ed sang some more in the bathroom and we all adore him.
- We like a lot of movies. And we know a lot of quotes from those movies.
- Many of us have weird dreams, mostly about the cruise. We also have weird thoughts and are probably deranged.
- The Girls tried to talk about skin care and the Guys made it all about goat semen. But then, they have nothing of their own to talk about besides hockey, so I guess they're desperate.
- Chicken tenders are yummy. Boat tenders are a pain, but hopefully won't be horrible.
- GaryRulez joined the rarified club of people who have WAY too much time on their hands and have posted more than 1000 times.
- Thank God You're Here, Jericho, Lost, Dancing with the Stars, and commercials were all discussed. When do any of us have time for work or family?
- Suebee makes cool bracelets. I'll probably buy one if I ever have money again.
- Dr. Evil came back to us!
- Amicus doesn't like avatars, but she does like nuts.
- We now know how young many of us are.
- The poetic thread had now expanded into limericks. Some of them weren't even dirty.
- And finally, a topic entitled "Where is everyone?" elicited 2 pages of responses. Thus proving that we are all, in fact, right here. We should probably get lives. Says the person who just spent half an hour on one post...
And that's the week! If I forgot anything, feel free to post about it. But be nice to me. It's hard to keep track of a week's worth of insanity. And now I have to go prepare a presentation... Please post more!!!
Comments from the Peanut Gallery
NiceyDoodle: ::applauds:: Excellent again! Here I thought it was a boring week, but this week turned out to be even more exciting than last week!
2kids5cats: Good on ya, RM! Very well done. However, I think I'd better step up my game. While there were references to threads I've started, my actual name didn't get mentioned at all. I can't be having that!!
Musical Genius: Excellent, mzungu... Hats off to you and those of you who apparently have the time to read each and every single word on this board. I don't, but highly appreciate the time and hard work you put into this recap. Keep 'em coming!!!
personal venus: Better than starting my day with the local newspaper. Thanks, RM. You're the best!
NiceyDoodle: Yeah what is up with that? You and I didn't even get mentioned!
The Dishrack: At least I got a mention!
CayCay: Well done. *claps enthusiastically*
The Rankin Family: RM - You are one of a kind, your dedication is inspiring!
really_mzungu: In response to the gripes from 2kids5cats and NiceyDoodle, an addition:
- NiceyDoodle and 2kids5cats both posted many, many times and delighted us with new and amusing avatars.
Sufficient? Hope so, because I need to do other things today. It's nice out and all, so sitting in front of the computer is silly. Bye now!
2kids5cats: SÃ, soy muy feliz ahora. Gracias mucho.
Michelle in WI: Excellent summary, once again. Very complete (and from the looks of it, time consuming). Nice job!
dr.evil: What was the middle part again? Dr. Evil Nice job!
WildEagle: Seems how I haven't been around that much thanks for the summary. I am still confused about most things but now at least I sort of know how nuts you all are
really_mzungu: :P
NikkiPoooo: I may have helped you out on that this weekend... you should have a PM from Jackie. She PMed a few people, and then told me and I told her to room with you guys if you still had the space. She was my partner in crime on TRB last year.
