    You should see some of the really huge forums, the kind with 1000+ people online at all times, making a couple dozen thousand posts per day. I seriously have no idea how you can get involved into any kind of discussions with so many people posting... Imagine having 500 posts in any thread in a matter of hours. Urg? Who the hell has the time to read even a fraction of that? And how could anyone reply to anything, or steer the discussion into any direction, when there are so many people posting at the same time? I don't even want to think how moderating works on such boards - it probably doesn't.

    Um, well, it is a WORK computer after all! It must cause all sorts of headaches having people download whatever crap they want onto work computers.

    In other news, I've finally finished off all the pork-containing foods that mom's caretaker can't eat because she's Muslim. :banana: I'm gonna miss eating that kind of stuff, though. :( Or, at least not with the frequency that I'm used to. I was surprised how many foods have pork in them; did you know that pepperoni has some too? :eek:

    In order to avoid continuing off topic in an SS thread I come here where I can ramble and babble.

    I quote Felinoid from that thread:

    Why not? If you only knew what I don't post in order not to get in trouble. I try to be polite even when I don't feel like it. I made my share of mistakes when I was a noobie. Nothing horrendous but dumb and from time to time I still post dumb things. Sometimes I catch it and edit; sometimes I don't but I do try to use proper grammar (except in RP) and I use spell-check a lot.

    I back off when the mods say 'back-off'. Now there is a moral to this rambling tale. If Grandma (who is a natural born rebel) can keep the rules so can you. (That 'you' is directed at everyone and not anyone specific. I will now spell check before I post.

    Don't worry Nakia, I'll keep in line. ;)

    @ DarkS - I've never been to Ontario but I have some family there too. Most of my family is in B.C. however and one of my sisters lives in Bermuda!

    @ DoTW - Yep

    Blargh! I hate kids who don't pay attention because they are fooling around! In ultimate frisbee (yes, it is a sport...), this one kid never pays attention, then always screws up plays, thinks he is some big shot, and fools around afterwards. When he makes an 'amazing' one handed catch, and everyone yells 'Nice catch, next time do it with two hands', he ignores it, tries to throw it to the next person, but hurries the throw and ****s up. GRRR. I don't like it when people who play the sport to slack off play. **** them! I play because I have fun, but I want to actually have fun, not fool around.

    This should probably go into the "This Sucks" thread, but no.

    It's O.K. Saber. I vote that we take all non-serious frisbee players and roll them in egg-whites then leave them in the sun for an hour without letting them take a bath.

    That could easily be arranged. Do you have a perticular preference as for the strain? I am a huge fan of Blueberry.

    Ahh, four days off.

    Oh, my dumb MP3 player didn't worked because it must be formatted using the FAT12 file system. WTF? What the hell is FAT12? I know FAT16 and FAT32, but FAT12?!?

    I'm surprised that I haven't been pointed out for my questionable spelling. Sometimes I don't catch when I hit keys in the wrong order or multiple keys at once until after I have posted, and I'd be all night editting. Then there are words I can't for the life of me figure out how to spell, and eveything I try just looks wrong...

    The answer is simple, dude. We have grown watching Ara making typos and have got used to it. :D In fact, typos have been lovingly nicknamed "Aras".

    So true, DoTW. We all make typing and spelling errors. For instance rogue is frequently spelled rouge :lol: The 'real' Nakia tells me that she cannot be worn on anyone's face.

    We owe Ara a debt of gratitude. :thumb:

    Which is paid for with her dominion over these threads. ;) The RBP is unarguably her territory. Speaking of which, where's she been of late? I see four whole pages without her stamp. :mommy:

    Maybe Ara and Kuemper are off waging wars of supreme spamicy meanwhile leaving the mice to play.

    I'd hardly call you a mouse, Mrs. Over-50%-of-her-posts-in-the-RBP. :p And Ara's got kuemp beaten hands down. I don't think anyone could ever challenge Ara for sheer number of RB posts.

    Anyway, time for sleepies. :sleep:
