As a general matter, I fucking HATE when people use ellipses like that. It's a written equivalent of nails on a chalkboard. Just end the damned sentence already.

Why the hate for ellipses? All of my thoughts are unfinished and the ellipses are meant to reflect that. What's wrong with honest communication?

Break my sock code and they are yours.

So do we know why Kate and whatshisname split? Maybe because her boobs are gone?

Other than while pregnant, did she ever have any?

Because it's the written equivalent of a vaudeville rimshot. If you have to use it, the joke most likely sucked anyway.

Yes. At one time they were cute and perky.



Now, they've just evaporated.

No offence, notwithstandign the anachronisticism, I think vaudeville is more timelessly classic form of humour than this board, unless and until one of us ends up vaulting from this space to their own space and doing big time stand-up........say opening for dave chappelle...........

I am retiring until it is modified to something witty. Want to join?

Has it ever been witty? I'd be in favor of retiring until the stupid naming threads prize is done away with, however. We have ample evidence that the ability to press the "Post" button at the exact right moment in order to hit post number 5000 has no correlation to the ability to come up with a clever name for a thread.

I did like "muse to the fucktards. " Who invented that? I know fringey invoked it.

Lack of cleverness is one thing ... but this new one is both stupid and visually irritating.

It's a fun, audience participation event with longstanding roots in the community. Where's the love?

That would be me. After ltl inspired nfh to post something fucktarded. Though nfh's post was likely genius compared to much of what we've seen of late.

So win the contest and put your own title up there. Mine was an homage to coming out of retirement. Putting that on the board is no more or less stupid than any other subjective shit. The spoils of victoury. And while I love Fringey (assuming we are not on break) I didn't think the last board title was anything special. No offence.

eta: I thought it was beyond special. The most specialist (hi Ollie!)

This is an utterly meaningless statement.
