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 …

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.

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

Well, it looks like we had our first spring training game last night, so the new baseball year has officially begun. Let's kick it off with an amusing little article from college baseball: LOOK: LSU designated hitter Hayden Travinski uses pencil bat Maybe he can land an NIL deal with Ticonderoga.

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…

Season's tipped off. Right now, the games largely don't even count as cupcakes...lots of em are cotton candy. Barely more than exhibition games. Locally...some may remember that NMSU shut down its entire basketball program midseason, after serious, severe allegations arose. The other shoe dropped today. 3 former players were charged with multiple felony charges (including a second degree charge) of criminal sexual assault and false imprisonment. 13 charges were filed against 2 of the defendants; 11 against the 3rd. The university is also facing another round of lawsuits...some were settled over the summer...related to this. …

Well...apparently the rookies are starting to report today; training camps start opening early next week. So, it's time for a thread for the new season. And ugh...this isn't exactly the best way to start things out, but ESPN's Outside the Lines team is showing a story regarding who leaked the emails that led to Jon Gruden's firing. The story is massively ugly. We start with Dan Snyder, but that's no surprise now. They don't accuse individuals per se, but make cases for...Goodell, DeMaurice Smith (head of the PA), and general league officials and even owners, who were MORE than happy, apparently, to force Gruden out. They also suggest Snyder ha…

Last night I dreamt that I was walking along a stream, I heard voices coming from underneath a bridge. I looked under the bridge and saw a bunch of anthropomorphic mice*. they had gathered under the bridge because there was "good" air beneath the bridge and "bad" air everywhere else (a subconscious connection to the many fires and "smokevercast" we've had locally for several days now) they were talking about their friend who had fallen into the water and was drowning. I reached in the water and rescued their soggy friend before continuing on my way. *See: American Tail, Chip 'n' Dale's Rescue Rangers, or Flushed Away for examples.

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…

Holy forced spontaneity! It's the Impromptu Superdraft II! What: This is a supers draft. You'll be making one selection each weekday, starting tomorrow (Monday, March 4th) and running until Friday, March 15th. All selections are exclusive. Who: All the usual rules about different versions of the same character apply. In short, different characters with the same name are fine; different versions of the same character are out. (For example, if Ant-Man Hank Pym is drafted, you could still draft Ant-Man Scott Lang, but not Yellowjacket Hank Pym.) When: You will make a pick each weekday, starting tomorrow, at noon Eastern Time. No, I don't…

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…

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.

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!"

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…

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?
