Wha?
« on: August 13, 2007, 10:56:08 PM »
Huh? 


Where'd the board go?  what happened?  I leave you guys for a (mere) 6-7 months, and you go and change the wallpaper, furniture, pets, locks, AND throw out my collection of 1954 baseball sweatrags???

Okay, serious guys.  What happened?

When you left, everyone was so depressed that no posted anymore.

But then Doomsie looked into her Magic Ball and saw that you would be back today so she convinced the Board Badmins to create a new one in honor of your Second (or is it Eighth) Coming.

Yeh.

The old board got hacked. Given its age and that it wasn't the first time it happened, the powers that be upgraded the software.

Now we have double-layered fiber coatings so that hacking attempts take waay longer and wake everyone up before any real damage is done.
That and the auto-turrets have been upgraded from "paint" to "industrial strength glow-in-the-dark acid."

I liked BC's answer the bestest.

And this new board is hard to see/read.  Too damn dark, with too-small-of-a buttons.


What about Tasers(tm)?  Those scare the shit outta me!

OH!  And I would like to make a motion.  I motion that Larsy is given back his old post count.  No one else gets it, onacount of no one posts as infrequent as Larsy, and so he needs it just to keep up... and to let the riff-raff know that Larsy is actually a Baller.

Yup.  That's the ticket.

I've always wanted a negative post count to go with my whole Necroposter Identity.
Will I get Night Owl points for quitting but not as much for getting fired?
Will I still be a member of the Owl's Pals? I'd hate to turn in my card. It's got a real owl feather under the lamination and everything.


Night Owl: Oh, indeed. I quit many a job ...better than being fired. You can keep your card... in fact, you get double points for quitting!

I just tried to give you one, but every post count set below 0 gets automatically reset to 0.

Maybe Chucåra can find a solution to that.
All right, I’ve been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man whose gonna burn your house down – with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

Interesting. Thanks for trying though. =)

Chucära? What are your thoughts? Can I have a negative post count?

Fine, fine, fine... but back to ME!  Look at me!  I'm prodigal.  I'm a son (well... no one here, but I must be someone's son). 


I'm like a friggin' prodigal son here.

Dear Sir,

We thank you for your complaints.  The Village would like you to know that all problems should be referred and attributed to Bluecross.  The Establishment takes no blame for any feelings of dislocation, euphoria or ebullience that may occur as you adjust to this sudden change.

Again, we blame it all on Bluecross... whatever it is.

Well, I am kinda working on "something big" right now, so it is pretty low priority :(

No, no, no... It's metaphoric.  What he's really saying is that... Oh, wait.  He said he's "like" a prodigal son... That would make it a simile.

You're right.  He's lying.
