The NEW new "post your random thoughts/stories here" thread.

Polyester · Jan 19, 2009

Okay folks, it's time for a revolution.

The Sam, we all love ya man but locking the original Random Thoughts thread and starting your own version was pretty weak sauce.

This is my claim to fame, my everlasting mark on the world, my thing, you dig?

I have a brand image to protect. Well not really, but I respectfully ask that this thread be left open and that other impostor thread be left to languish in Topic Is Closed purgatory.

Either that or The Sam shall be my nemesis forever. Wherever he goes there shall be I, thwarting his every wish and desire.

Hmm.

Wandering Wastrel · Jan 19, 2009

I agree. We should go with this one, and continue the legacy.

I found a new (to me) forum today, browsed it for an hour, and still didn't have the most basic grokking about what it all meant. Imagine "Brunchma for prepubescent wannabe racist anarchists," only the membership consisted of degreed academics and television producers. To paraphrase Eric Sevareid, it seemed as if their mission is to nibble themselves to death publicly.<BR><BR>I registered, of course. It seemed appropriate to take the nick, "What?"

It's going to snow tonight.

ffifield · Jan 19, 2009

I have no thoughts. I just want to be on the first page of the new thread.

crombie · Jan 19, 2009

Yay, page 1! So, my mother in law calls today, and wants some (more) free tech support. Well, let's see, my suggestion on a cheap Dell (she wanted a Dell) was rebuffed, and instead of going with NOD32 she re-upped Norton.<br><br>Today her printer was not working, I suggested that perhaps her cartridge was not in completely. She scoffed, and then called back later to let us know that kicking the printer solved the issue.<br><br>-- View image here: http://homepage.mac.com/kennedye/ars/flail.gif --

In before the second page?

luckyone · Jan 19, 2009

I have to admit, playing fallout 3 in god mode and using the mirv to kill everything at point blank range is doing wonders for my stress levels.

Of course, today would be a quasi-off day, and it's the day that things get blown up real good at work on a very important customer.<BR><BR>So I'm still working far later than I expected today.<BR><BR><BR>Where did I leave that scotch...

It's annoying to see all the places that are closed today while I have to work.

Lame, I had the first post in the last thread. I want my money back.

Nobody expects <STRIKE>The Spanish Inquisition</STRIKE> a new post random thoughts thread.

MetricInch · Jan 19, 2009

I made a mushroom soup caserole with tater tots for dinner last night. I felt the need to relive my poor white trash upbringing. I must say, it was far tastier than my Mom's. Sorry Ma. Next week I think I will have Banquet fried chicken and crinkle cut fries...

Why oh why did it take me 28 years to put cheese on top of my pasta? It was like eating angels.

*Iridium* · Jan 19, 2009

[Brag]: I read the whole thread BACKWARDS from the last page to the first in just over two years of intermittent bouts of mind-numbing boredom. It didn't always make sense that way, but, hey, anything for a record.

optimism · Jan 19, 2009

Uggg, no naps for the tiny people tomorrow, as it just makes a war come bedtime.

When I first saw your commercial, I thought "hey, cool. I like the song, cool!" Now, you have played it 8,000,000 times in like two weeks. It's not funny or cool anymore, please stop.
