Folks (And I do mean more than one, not trying to single ANYONE person out, but this seems a good thread to bring it up...again) Only in referring to cancer (the medical condition, not the poster) are we supposed to use a certain F word on these boards. The Admins have in the past reminded folks that while we tend towards older demographics we want this to be a family friendly board over all. SO... I mention this now and then, and yet still if I do a search, folks ignore it..a lot. So far my options appear to be... Start issuing warnings and infractions Clear them up only to have them happen again a mix of above Or... entertain…

Since Who's line is it anyways? has been the subject of much discussion (okay, SOME discussion) why not try it here? Someone picks a subject/scene, three posters respond to it by writing an example out, and the third one also creates a new subject. Other than that, we wing it. First Scene: The wrong thing to say on a first date

I brought my headphones to work tonight so during the slow parts (almost the entire night) I have been able to watch some videos on Google Video. I figured I'd start a thread for people to share random videos. An amusing Final Fantasy Sequence: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4511700021036249808 A guy lights his fart on fire: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6304447980554417691 A funny counterstrike video with someone whining because he can't get into the vents (NSFW): http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7118750192530790377

New league year began March 17th. Less than impressed with the way the Bengals spent the 5th most cap money so far. A bunch of average guys basically. One impressive signing - CB Mike Hinton is a steal and he was pulled away from the Steelers. We did manage to get an ok OT with Riley Reiff. Although, he is better than the 'matadors' we have on the line right now. We FINALLY got rid of the worst OT in the league - Bobby Hart - so addition by substraction I always say! Weirdly, we also got rid of the worst QB in the league, Ryan Finley. Better yet, we somehow got the Texans to trade for him. This could be proof that the Texans are now the worst run team …

Unfortunately, I share the same outlook as this YouTube poster about the probable rapid demise of the superhero genre, as a commercially viable film genre. It is not as if people are getting sick of heroes, it’s just that the people in charge of various media hire writers that can’t write or even conceive of proper heroes, only deconstruct them in an environment that lacks a moral center If your curious, take a look

This is an experiment. What we have is an attempt by me to create the longest running, NON game thread. Our record to beat, is the Catsuit thread. Quite a challange. And we are going to have to keep this thing as best we can. Threads and Tangents are welcome. Getting it locked is not desired. Now all we need is a launching point. What does everyone feel about the Red Sox "Curse"? And are you aware that this year Stephen King is going to every game and will be writing a book about the season.

OK...it's unlikely that we'll be able to get away without any political discussion taking place in the forums (despite the fact that the forums are for an RPG and there are plenty of other arenas for political discourse) -- so we're going to make a dedicated spot for them to take place. With rules that will be followed. Before I get into the rules, a little bit about self-policing. You guys are a good group. I'm assuming that, political differences aside, you'd like to keep each other around. So you're going to be the first level of checks that will take place. This is the ONLY US political discussion thread that is going to be around. If you see someone start a…

We've got threads for catsuit pics, funny pics, big-breast pics, wallpapers...but sometimes I run across pics that don't fit any of those categories. They may be pics of good-looking anime girls, neat maps, sleek aircraft, or whatever. Since there is no real "matching" thread/topic for things like that, let's create a catch-all for pics that you find "neat" that doesn't fit one of the other categories. I'll kick it off with a panoramic map of Mars. There is a larger, higher-res version available here if you want it.

Wait, college football in April? Yes! The 2020 FCS playoffs (postponed from last fall) begin this weekend. The FCS championship game is scheduled to be played Saturday, May 16th in Frisco, Texas. Spring games are also underway, and of course transfers and the upcoming NFL draft will all play a role as well. It's not the usual version of spring football. The 2020 FBS season was one of the strangest on record. Will 2021 be any saner?

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/04/nyregion/grand-jury-said-to-bring-no-charges-in-staten-island-chokehold-death-of-eric-garner.html?_r=0 Now, I wonder how many people confused by the recent mess in Ferguson are going to be similarly stymied by the especially vague circumstances of this civilian death?

This is the thread for when you're feeling unreasonable, cranky, and/or just plain snarly. By posting here, you automatically concede that you're crankiness has made your arguements questionable at best, and that anyone snapping at you is cranky as well so don't get really offended. Don't post on this thread if you're in a good mood,happy, or (god help us) chipper... Chipper is what we do to wood, it has no place on the cranky thread This is the place to B*tch, moan, and complain about how lousy the little things in life are in petulant fashion. Enjoy... only, don't enjoy too much, that'll go against the feel of things. and that'll make me c…

Spring training is winding up, and opening day is around the corner. Most places will allow limited attendance. Cool! Shohei Otani is *scheduled* to pitch and hit. If it works out, it'll be interesting to watch. He's only hitting 16 for 26 with 5 HRs this spring...and throwing 101 on the mound. Not so good news...Eloy Jimenez committed the not-uncommon sin of effort without thought. Like, trying to throw out a runner that's gonna make it by 10 feet regardless...and air-mailing the throw into the seats. Here...he tried to snatch back a homer by leaping over the wall. The ball landed 2-3 feet past, easily. And the outcome? He rupt…

We have threads for Major League Baseball, the NBA, the NFL, college football, etc. But there are other sports that, let's face it, not enough people follow for a thread of their own. Cycling, tennis, ice hockey, football/soccer, curling, that sort of thing. And we have the Olympic Games coming up soon. So here's a thread where we can talk about some of those lesser-known / lesser appreciated sports. Go nuts.

I used Captain America for my Avatar for July. I'm changing it for August. I'd like to use another superhero, but I can't decide which one. Please vote for one of the following: Blue Beetle (Jaime) Crusader (Love and Capes) Colossus The Hulk Mister Incredible The Question Perhaps you have suggestions for heroes other than these. I don't wanna talk about it right now. Maybe in September.... Anyway, please vote. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Everybody likes jokes. Here is a thread to post your favorite or most recently heard jokes. Here's one I heard today: A woman takes a lover home during the day while her husband is at work. Her 9-year old son comes home unexpectedly, sees them and hides in the bedroom closet to watch. The woman's husband also comes home. She puts her lover in the closet, not realizing that the little boy is in there already. The little boy says, "Dark in here." The man says, "Yes, it is." Boy - "I have a baseball." Man - "That's nice." Boy - "Want to buy it?" Man - "No, thanks." Boy - "My dad's outside." Man - "OK, how much?" Boy - "$250" In the next few weeks, it…
