Seriously, is there any reason why this peice of "news" needs its own thread? Is it so special that its too good for the regular OT thread? The point of the OT thread is that brain farts like this fit perfectly in there, we can see them think about it and move on, without cluttering up the board with crap like this, the video we all watched last month, and what Fall out boy is saying in their video? Understand? Geez... :rolleyes:

I don't know what took the jelly out of your doughnut, but it's an off-topic board.

Sure there's some "Nude, Nude things, Nuder things" thread all the time for the clique, but the whole board is off-topic.

You have to remember it's probably what 3pm or 4pm where John is. He's already done a hard days work of some laps of the pool, lunch with a babe and then a few more laps before going for a cuise with the roof down. He's tired from the stress..........:D ;)

while the thread might seem cliqueish, just start posting in it. that is what other people do and now they can't leave!

I think you guys are cool and all but I honestly don't have time to monitor it every five minutes.

Carry on though... I support the concept.

I've looked at it before but honestly it's mind-numbing how often you all post on there. I just can't dedicate myself to it to keep up with that.

Anyways, right about now I think I'll kick back and crack open this soda I just so happen to have here... if Antifan doesn't mind, that is.

Don't worry about anti, he can be a bit moody!:D And I don't know what the map says, but everything is a coke here in Texas.

Ok, sorry bro. That was pretty pissy of me. Like Rick says, i've had a hard day. ;) Look you can have this thread all to yourself, i wouldn't you want to get run over on the OT superhighway. But seriously its not as intimidating as it all seems. You just post what your thinking and check back later. If it seems like too much clicking remember to set your options to show 40 posts a page and learn to skim. The thing is this forum really exists only for the "Formerly Nude" threads. And remember i don't make the rules. http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=211401
I just enforce them. ;) :D

Cool of you to say that... respect.

It's not that the people in the OT are intimidating, it's the speed at which ya'll post all your stuff and it's all in one thread so it would take an hour a day to wade through it all... so that's not for me.

This (Big Soccer) isn't the only forum I belong to, and in the others "Off-Topic" means "Off-Topic"... so if the mods want to tell us "Nobody except us and our 'Nude' posts can go in Off-Topic" then I'll interpret that to mean only the 'Nude' clique can post in here. But I haven't seen that statement, so people post in here about baseball or soda pop or ninjas, and cheers to that.

Look at the Chelsea Off-Topic, they've got stuff about quilting and knitting and cross-stitching... we ought to be able to talk about gangster rap about Chronicles of Narnia.

But I may be wrong, it's up to the mods.

For what it's worth, I call it Coke.

Forget the group, but I recall a catchy rock tune that went:

"Might as well go for a soda/Its better than slander/Its better than lies/Might as well go for a soda/Nobody drowns/And nobody dies/Might as well go for a soda" [cue gtr solo].

Soda, soda, soda. Pop is an archaic term for one's father. And Coke...well, that's so 80s. ;)

Nah he has a point. This board does have a clique. A point further echoed by the fact that I am replying to you rather than him - hmmm soz milkman

That was pretty pissy of me. Like Rick says, i've had a hard day running from opposition "fans".

Thats right. You will NEVER live that down.

Who is Tony Adams and why haven't we signed Lee Carsley. I suppose we could ask Rick "Spurs Season Ticket" B or BillyHo, but i think he might be off on a plane somewhere looking for his car keys or somesuch.

I can't remember. Since the laws came in ive only been on a SERIOUS bender twice, and one of those was the 7-0 over boro.

My god the next day I thought I was going to die - seriously

And as for the night what little I can remember was pretty grim. I seem to recall (unintentionally) ignoring Nicks g/f. Nick mate I wasnt TRYING to be rude I was just vewy drunk. I tend to become quite intraverted. At least I THINK I do - the reality is probably the opposite. I also seem to recall getting into a politics discussion with Rick and those are NEVER good when your 4 sheets to the wind.

Aywho - ima just out of practice. Im to old for all that shiznit now :)
