Hey.

Welcome.

Of course I live in a town that keeps pushing for an override on property tax caps while swearing up and down that they don't have the money for this or that, but when the override fails they magically have all the money they need. Don't even get me started on the fact that our school system doesn'...

(if you don't have it, then they make you pay a monthly fine. Wonder how that sorts itself for those who can't afford health insurance . . . greedy Taxachusetts politicians . . . If I'm remembering this correctly, the 'fine' that you have to pay is a percentage (half, I believe) of the cost of the ...

Trying to think of anyone I know who got directly to Tolkien rather than via Pern, Fighting Fantasy, Deathgate Cycle or similar. LotR is the type of book kids end up with because family members vaguely remember it being inflicted on them when younger. That's exactly how I ended up reading Tolkien, ...

I was sad to learn about his passing - he's had a pretty huge influence on a lot of stuff that in turn has had something of an influence on me (not to mention geek culture as a whole, like Denyer already mentioned).

[Edit: So, yeah, I'm not actually sure what I was trying to say when I made this post - I was way too out of it. I think I was commenting that I agree that being drunk is positive?]

(and rape IS a violent crime, despite your third time now of belittling his act) Pretty much positive noone in this thread has said or even implied that rape is not a significant, traumatizing, crime. You guys are arguing a fallacy and fantasy in order... ....The perpetrator wouldn't have died if h...

See, that's where you went wrong. You need to do a big dramatic leaving post calling us all names, damning us all to hell and swearing never to return. and then not actually leave when no one cares. That's the way to do it. Yeah, but the way I tended to think at the time, if I was actually going to...

also, as much as discussing finances and things are more than likely taboo do the ads manage to cover the costs of running this place? I mean ive been using this board for an awful long time and benifiting from the site and such going back to the comic reprint days.....was there ever a means to don...

I'm going to tell you, if I came home and found some man raping my daughters, I would kill him - or at least attempt to do so until the police came to take him away. And I would be more than willing to deal with the consequences. I have a duty as a father and as a human being first, well before I h...

I'm here because I remembered this place existed, lurked a bit and recognized a solid dozen+ names, and got all nostalgic.

Why I was here the first time? I'm pretty sure I just kind of tripped onto the board, and never bothered getting up...

No idea who you are, but welcome back anyways! Well, I know you! (Pretty sure you showed up after I stopped posting much but before I stopped lurking), so... I win? 'Fraid I have no exciting stories, though - and I'm not sure I've got the creativity to come up with one. I remember you and still see...

I'm almost surprised by how many people there are regularly posting here who I actually remember. It's kind of nice, actually. I sort of stopped posting. For a really long time. Then I stopped lurking. Then a few decades or so passed, and I felt like coming back. Not sure if anyone will actually rem...

Hey, I remember you!

Though that isn't necessarily representative of the board as a whole, seeing as I've been missing for some-odd years.

I work in a movie theater over the summer, so I can definitely understand what you mean (though I'm a concessionist, so I dont deal with cleaning theaters - though I've got plenty of 'What is wrong with these people?' stories from concessions). I remember I was actually really surprised when I first...

Originally posted by Sociopathic Autobot To bump old threads. I love how a majority of this thread no longer post here. Yar. Well, yeah, I don't post. And it's not my homepage on my new computer (though I may make it one again, since I don't actually have a homepage on the new one at the moment). B...

He speaks truth.

If you and they have gmail accounts, I'm a fan of google talk (though one of the main reasons I like it is because it ties into my Gmail account).

The EB Games stores in my area didn't actually purchase PC copies for sale, they just got as many as there were PC Pre-orders, only getting a bunch of 360 copies for regular sale. Which is really rather irritating. I'm just downloading it tonight so I can play tomorrow, and will be grabbing a legit ...
