Troll_Inc,

I don't think you're worthless or terrible at all. I just think you're a weird beard. Huge difference.

MH,

have you considered changing this forum name to "About the Fora"? "About the Forums" drives me nuts.

[Mike Haven]

That's a very interesting comment.

I used to feel exactly the same way, and I always used "fora" when writing about the different forums.

Then I was told by a respected dictionaryologist that, as we all know in our heart of hearts, the English language is evolving constantly, and it is now accepted in academia that "forums" is the correct word to use. (OTOH, using "fora", whilst perhaps causing some to raise an eyebrow, would still be tolerated without attracting too much chastisement and ribald laughter.)

tuq, I too was surprised to see your name appear on Troll's hater list.

Another point in favour of fora is that, when the pet care forum is created, we could have "About the Fora", and "About the Fauna".

I'm just saying.

Completely unrelated to anything, but I just saw this graphic for the first time on yahoo:



So many potential messageboard applications...the mind reels.

nath,

you should get a concubine, too.

yeah, she didn't want that job.

[ QUOTE ]
I agree with tup though, if she has a voice and is not an idiot she could make some really funny and/or interesting threads about what she's doing.

[/ QUOTE ]
She's pretty sharp. Everyone who's met her likes her and she'd probably be a really good poster, which kinda scares me.

p.s. tup, the events are at noon-- i have to be up in the A.M. to get there on time.

[daryn]

is she hot? physical stats plz

[PITTM]

someone in my homegame said something that i thought people here might be shocked by/interested in.

"wow, rj runs way worse than anyone in this game by far, but i have never seen him get mad in my entire life".

this was from someone i have known since 5th grade. Surprise anyone?

[diebitter]

Yeah, I'm surprised. I sorta imagined you like John McEnroe with a gut ache AND a tooth ache.
