And so it's time for another review. Before I begin, however, I would just like to announce that I will be mostly absent for the next week or so. Going on a southern vacation, although unfortunately nowhere near a BNL concert.
For the rest of you, this means a few things:
a) I won't be around to read your posts, so please stop posting now. I will let you know when it's OK to start posting again.
b) Amicus, and probably Nicey, will soon have more posts than me again. Since I'm kind of embarassed about my posting total at the moment, this is very OK...
c) Someone else has to review the week next weekend. There's no way I'm going to do it...
OK. Disclaimers or whatever they were are over. Time to review this wonderful week in which we all entered May!
- First of all, and by far the most important, I somehow ended up with the most posts on the board. I don't know how such a thing could happen.
- Also kind of important, the new and improved Ships and Dip board made its appearance. Despite massive fears (on my part anyway) that this would mean the end of the board as we know it, everything was fine. Kind of anti-climactic actually.
- We got real cruise info! We now can get discounts from Airtran and Hertz! So everybody go book your flights now!
- Thanks to PJ, we can all know exactly how much time is left before the cruise. And look at naked BNL at the same time!
- Karaoke was discussed. Can't think of anything to add to that.
- You can still buy a wristband. You should buy a wristband. Conform.
- If you want to book a penthouse, you might get some perks. But you can't, because they're all sold out. So don't worry about it.
- It's very expensive to fly to Florida from the UK, but people have already found good deals (and are way more proactive than us lazy North American people).
- Apparently, on some cruises, there is a chocolate buffet. I WANT A CHOCOLATE BUFFET. Oh, and ganache is yummy too.
- People from a region other than California are thinking about meeting each other. The WA state/Oregon/BC people should definitely meet, preferably sometime in mid to late August so I can go. And then we can all discuss why everybody should do the Puyallup.
- Steve is a good singer. So is Ed. But he doesn't have a currently active thread about him, so the Ed faction better get on that soon.
- There might still be some Detroit tickets for sale. I got lost in the banter.
- Various music acts, many of which I know little about, were discussed. Including Brett Dennen, the Brothers Creeggan, Thin Buckle, Mike Doughty, Gaelic Storm, Guster (they had a free show), and Flight of the Conchords.
- Many people are going to the Buffalo concert. I am. And so are those other people. Buffalo is very close to Niagara Falls, which is a town with many hotels. And Marineland, the home of Happiness.
- We all know our ABCs. But not, apparently, our Ys.
- Shell returned to Arizona, but not without grievous damage to his ears. And a flight full of annoying people, who fortunately did not projectile vomit on him. That's really, really gross.
- Rankin got tofu. Lasagna was enjoyed.
- The 80s were like, totally awesome!
- The guys disapprove of highlighting a puck and possibly stupid hockey player controversy. They do like beer. There are mixed opinions about lacrosse.
- Pinatas are neat! Even when made out of sheep heads and dead horses!
- One of us being a bozo means that other people (2kids...) can post freaky clown pictures. And lime tastes good on tacos!
- The CA people are less organized than I thought. That makes me feel better about the rest of us.
- There were more stupid quotes. And some stupid laws.
- WE came out. As Amicus. People are weird around here...
- A discussion of off-topic threads got ugly. But did result in playground and campfire (Kumbaya anyone?) imagery, plus a cool, new avatar for Finchy. So it's not all bad.
- Irregardless who they are, many of us don't like grammar and spelling errors.
- There are a bunch of songs that people don't like. And where does Gwen Stefani get off releasing Wind It Up at the same time as BNL?
- There are many dumb jokes about flies. But even more dirty jokes, so that's OK.
- There might be a Dead Like Me movie. That could either be really cool or kind of dumb.
- When wearing white pants (trousers for our UK friends), be careful of your underwear's (pants') color (colour).
- Nicey is crazy about Dirty Dancing. But we will definitely not put her in the corner for it.
- Get ready for the Rocky Horror Picture Show on the boat! Well, maybe. But it would be cool!
- Today was no pants day. I don't observe this holiday.
- A new event for S&DIII = Sex stories on the Lido deck! Fun for the whole family!
- Canadians hate Toronto. This hatred apparently causes many to reveal secrets of their sexual history.
- We love cheesy commercials from our youth! Even if they don't have the one for Gremlins cereal...
- Our appliance friends were mostly silent this week. Their identities remain a mystery -- I'll buy anyone a drink on the boat who provides me information that leads to their identities! Whoever they are, the lead suspects are still Gary and Amicus...
- The new board was slow for awhile, and then mysteriously sped up immediately upon the slowness being commented on. They're watching...
- A discussion about the buffet brought up Guitar Hero (Finchy's got the moves!), off-topic-ness, the possibility of a chat room, and ants. Ants suck.
- Nicey needed help with dinner. Apparently everybody but me on this board owns a crock pot. I'm not exactly sure what a crock pot is.
- Many people post a lot. Several of them just realized it.
- If you're looking for a scrapbooker, go to Utah.
- Japanese people don't really buy sheep, thinking they're poodles. But it would be funny if they did.
- According to the Gender Genie, these weekly reviews are written by a man. Isn't technology cool?!?
- Finchy came back. Obviously, since he's been mentioned multiple times in the review.
- Many of us watched a depressing futurism video which implied that, in the time I've been typing this post, China has taken over the world and I have become obsolete. Oh well.
And that's it! Or that's all that I feel like typing. Since I have to get up for a flight in about 6 hours, it's enough. Now everyone can fight over who gets to review next week! But don't post!
