    Moderator Note to folks: Regarding the F word overuse 1 2 3 4 12

    by Hermit

    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) And COVID (In the Coronavirus thread) 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 …

    Longest Running Thread EVER 1 2 3 4 1381

    by Super Squirrel

    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.

    NGD Scenes from a Hat 1 2 3 4 1074

    by Hermit

    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

    Answers & Questions 1 2 3 4 1022

    by Klytus

    This idea, while not my original creation, is one I have seen used in other places, which I thought would be fun. Rather than asking a question and having others post the answer, then another question - you post an answer, somebody provided the question, then gives another question. Kinda like Jeapordy. One other thing, the answers & questions are not meant to be taken to seriously - let your imagination soar. Let me give a few past examples to get things started. Answer: 97.5 Question: What is the aprroximate size, in astronomical units, of Bill Clinton's libido? Answer: Prof. Plum, in the study, with the rope. Question: What is only slightly less…

    Political Discussion Thread (With Rules) 1 2 3 4 973

    by Simon

    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…

    "Neat" Pictures 1 2 3 4 774

    by Dr. Anomaly

    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.

    A Thread for Random Musings 1 2 3 4 703

    by Old Man

    I feel the need to spew random thoughts onto a public board from time to time so I thought I'd start up a thread to do it. Of course everyone else is welcome to spew here also--the only rule is that you cannot reply to someone else's post. Each post should have as little to do with the others as possible.

    What Are You Listening To Right Now? 1 2 3 4 656

    by Guest Black Lotus

    I know almost everyone has Winamp (or the equivalent) cranked up most of the time when they're online. So, what are you listening to? Right now, I'm listening to: "A Boy Named Sue" by Johnny Cash. "My name is Sue! How DO you DO? Now you're gonna die!"

    The cranky thread 1 2 3 4 648

    by Hermit

    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…

    A Thread for Random Videos 1 2 3 4 629

    by Super Squirrel

    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

    What Have You Watched Recently? 1 2 3 4 476

    by Susano

    I just finished viewing Dog Soldiers, a soldiers versus werewolves movie. I found it liked it at lot, parts made me laugh, parts made me shudder, and parts made me say "that's not right...." I highly recommend it. I also watched The Wizard of Oz over the weekend, for the first time. Rather fun, with some highly enjoyable sequences -- the flying monkeys were great! -- and the musical numbers are catchy. I also found it amusing to sort of "count" all the lines that have remained in popular use. What have you seen recently?

    From Enforcer84's idea. Mention one thing you believe to be true about the most recent poster, and then add a complete and total lie, to make that poster appear to be more complicated. Well, it might not work, but give it a try. Enforcer84 - Not only is he a fine player and a good guy to hang out with, but Enforcer84 also has the largest single collection of lawn ornaments in North America.

    Jokes 1 2 3 4 317

    by Dust Raven

    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…

The next post will be something matching the same topic that begins with the letter B. The next one will be the letter C, and so forth. Whoever posts the answer with the letter Z picks the next topic. Let's go. Topic: Modes of Transportation Aeroplane
