Well, I must say one thing, I havent been around awhile, but what drama is lose on here with the netghost?

Personal issues and stuff and all are uneasy, kind of funny because seems to me no one knows what the hell is going on anyway.

Too weird here anymore. And someone said on another one of the drama threads that folks are getting mean and should take up hobbies.

This is starting to remind me of the old daze at the old board.

I'm not trying to get into anybodys business, I just think it is dumb and that only overinflated egos would really care.

BTW, I am beginning to think that this is just a big hoax board anyway with so many flamefests and I believe the sysops from the old board are here, just to fan the flames.

There, off my chest.

Tune in same time tommorrow, same place for the conclusion of: DOES ANYONE REALLY CARE??

Not since i got flamed for being sorry art bell quit. for crissakes, fuck this petty board. it was good in december/january though. and ed yourdan's scheme to destroy it sure worked. the powers that be clamped down on this one for sure.

-- Not Since (ineverlookhere@anymore.com), April 16, 2000.

Really? You are judging an entire BBS community by the threads on which you see petty disagreements taking place? There are certainly threads here in which there is no flaming and fascinating discussions going on. Have you taken the time to read the two threads on concepts of time??

Have you read the thread titled vindication? There are civil discussions here, but you folk want to condemn a forest for a few of its trees. Besides, do you enjoy a BBS on which everyone agrees? That is fine-go over or stay over at EZ board.

In the meanwhile, of course you are entitled to your opinion. Thanks for your contribution. BUT if your conclusions are factually incorrect, someone on this board is going to call you on it.

Thank you Future Shock, for saying what I was about to. Dittos!

My question is, why do you spend so much time reading those threads that they get you all upset? Are you as shallow as those that start them that you can't scroll past them and go to the interesting ones?

If no one is there to read those threads, do they exist?

-- (huh@where.when), April 16, 2000.

Whocares,

I believe the appropriate subject for this thread should have been "As the Bored Turns".

When Ezbored is slower than usual, this forum picks up the slack.

You mean picks up the slackers.

-- (I@don't.care), April 16, 2000.

do WHAT exist???

Either they exist...or they do not.

Hey Dr. Shrink, how come you are posting as me, the real Dr. Shrink. If it's an oversight, please make your name a little more unique. If not, please cease and desist.

Other Dr. Shrink,

"When Ezbored is slower than usual, this forum picks up the slack."

I must say that I agree with you on this one, although there seems to be an adequate supply of Locals to keep things going the rest of the time.

Sorry, did I miss anything? I was kidnapped for two weeks and have some catching up to do.

Lisa Glad to see you escaped, how did you make your get-away?

-- Swampthing (in@the.swamp), April 18, 2000.

It's true what they say about not needing prescriptions for anything in Mexico.

This blue chalky stuff somehow forces me to fish and BBQ entirely against my will.

Although one is then required to paint the corners of one's walls a dark color for more graceful navigation.

And for god's sake, don't leave the kitchen should you commence with cooking anything unless it's in a crock-pot.

You didn't miss much. Uncle Deedah and Ken Decker went on a spamming spree, filling up the board with profanities, until they were physically restrained by the tag team of Lady Logic and Netghost. Manny and Hawk are now moderators and are running the forum with an iron fist. All posts must now end with the phrase "By the power and grace of Manny and Hawk" or suffer possible deletion. Personally I think that this is a bit [snip --Sysop], not to mention [snip -- Sysop] and not unlike [snip --Sysop] when [snip --Sysop] was [snip-- Sysop]ing the [snip --Sysop]. But that's just my opinion.

Flint was outed, and it turns out he was actually a female, who was having an affair with Anita, who was actually a male, and a doomer at that. However, Anita's wife was unaware of this until recently, and when she found out, she told Uncle Deedah's nephew, who in turn, told Flint's hubby, who was actually seeing Lisa Z at the time, but who he THOUGHT was actually YOU, and became very upset when he found out he had been having an affair with the wrong Lisa. There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth, but everything has just about settled down now.

Oh, and cin revealed that she really is Laura after all.

By the power and grace of Manny and Hawk!

I hope that satisfied those little [snip --Sysop].

Hey, you left out the subplot where so many evil twins showed up that we lost track of the originals. In fact, I am Dee's EVIL TWIN!!! MmmmmmhahaHaHaHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!

By the power of [snip --Sysop] [Hey, wait a sec, that was actually OK. Sorry. --Sysop]

-- DeeEmBee (macbeth1@pacbell.net), April 18, 2000.

You also missed hmm's outing. He is actually Red Skelton reincarnated, thawed from the ooze, or transported telepathically from beyond; depending on which theory you buy into lately.

Don't even joke like that, hmm! I am NOT Cin! ;o)

Also, lisa, I got engaged to Mr Polly, and am looking forward to a September or December wedding which, you will find, partially accounts for the good mood I'm in.

See ya around!

Yes, you missed my outing. It consisted of a picnic lunch followed by a visit to 2 local museums, an art gallery, and an antique shop. I was very tired by the end of it.

-- (hmm@hmm.hmm), April 18, 2000.

You forgot that suppertime trip to the sandbox at the McDonald's playground.

No wonder you're so peeked. You must be exhaused ;o)

~*~

-- (Lady@...), April 18, 2000.

Uhmmm, that would be 'piqued'.

-- lisa (lisa@work.now), April 20, 2000.

lisa -

Depends on whether he's annoyed or tired. If it's the former, it is "piqued". If the latter, it's "peeked" with the emphasis on the second syllable ("peek-ed'"). "You're lookin' a might peeked" is Southern (and possibly Western) dialect for "You look a little tired."

-- DeeEmBee (macbeth1@pacbell.net), April 20, 2000.

Just a note, since Lisa decided to place emphasis on spelling versus phonics:

The Italian utterance at meeting or parting is spelled Ciao, despite the phonetic spelling being chau or CHOW. [This goes back a few threads.]

-- Anita (Anita_S3@hotmail.com), April 20, 2000.

Yup, they say peek-ed in Cleveland, too, when they think you are tired, pale and worn out. So it is a midwestern thang, too.
