erynthered Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Nobody was talking to you, you ancient bastard. I had been holding out with my nomination, for bestest all time poster extraordinaire. But I shall look no further.
aussiew Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Thankfully, the board is constantly changing. That's what makes it so interesting (but sometimes frustating). The oldies haven't disappeared. They'll be back when the season gets closer.
X. Benedict Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 I have been thinking, not too hard, but just a little, and here is what I think the problem is, when it come right down to it we often get distracted and don't finish some of our best
Acantha Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 I feel kinda left out. You hardly ever call me a douchebag any more. Being called a "dick" by a clueless newbie just doesn't cut it. To be fair, I believe you were called a BIG dick.
The Dean Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 To be fair, I believe you were called a BIG dick. I believe it was "the BIGGEST dick" ...so, that's something right there!

nick in* england Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 When I went to a comedy club the other night - one of the guys big things was that we should all go out and kill someone to help ease the world of its problems. I just forwarded him the TSW members list, ordered by most recent date joined. Told him he had his list of 10,000 people to make a start on. Funny what counts as an old timer nowadays.
beerme1 Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Have things really changed that much? It seems to me we have a plethora of mentally-challenged, football ignorant, blowhards looking to pick a fight. (I know...I'm here...right? Save it. ) What are you sayin?
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 If I have to explain... apparently, you do.
Sketch Soland Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 The only thing completely common to every message board that I have ever seen on the internet is the constant bitching about the good ol days. See, it's basically all Nietzsche: if you're not struggling and fighting against the upstart newbs, you're sinking into flaccid decay and corpulence and on the verge of imminent demise due to your own bloated decadence. So cheer up, old skoolers! You're fighting the good fight!
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 you're sinking into decay and corpulence and on the verge of imminent demise due to your own bloated decadence. Have you been stalking me?
Sketch Soland Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Have you been stalking me? Only in real life. I'm a PI. That's all I can say, really. Just go about your normal day-to-day routine
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Only in real life. I'm a PI. That's all I can say, really. Just go about your normal day-to-day routine Not a problem. I'll be heading to "Smiley Time Massage" in about 30 minutes

So cheer up, old skoolers! You're fighting the good fight! Here are some quotations for you and friend VikingGumBoot... "Nobody can be so amusingly arrogant as a young man who has just discovered an old idea and thinks it is his own." - Sydney Harris "You are only young once, but you can stay immature indefinitely." - Ogden Nash "You are young, my son, and, as the years go by, time will change and even reverse many of your present opinions. Refrain therefore awhile from setting yourself up as a judge of the highest matters." - Plato "Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new." - Henry Thoreau "When I was younger I could remember anything, whether it happened or not."- Mark Twain "When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years." - Mark Twain "George Washington, as a boy, was ignorant of the commonest accomplishments of youth. He could not even lie." - Mark Twain "Youth is easily deceived because it is quick to hope." - Aristotle "Remember that as a teenager you are at the last stage of your life when you will be happy to hear that the phone is for you." - Fran Lebowitz "I am not young enough to know everything." - Oscar Wilde "The old believe everything, the middle-aged suspect everything, the young know everything." - Oscar Wilde
