Bradford's new city hall is no great shakes, but the old one was something. It was left in terrible disrepair and was nearly razed before a heroic preservation effort recently. It now houses a VA clinic, professional offices and the like. They never can get the times to match on all four faces of the clock. Seems right. Living here sometimes seems like 2015 and sometimes 1915, or anywhere in between. And the bell is now ringing about four minutes early — just about time to reset it.

And to add to that, soak up what X and Taro say. They don't post anywhere near as frequently as they should.
Hear hear! Wait, wut?

And we definitely have a poster or two who do exactly this. If you beat the same subject into the ground over and over, some do eventually think it is fact. I actually have my own little nickname for this practice based on a poster here.
No one believes me, so I know it's not me, although I'd be flattered.
I think SDS' point is about the effectiveness of specificity and not repetition. Wow, that makes me sound smart huh?

I'd be happy to help with that.
OHHHH. Terry wanted to continue the Toronto series so he could make some more money. That's a football thing.
Ghost helped me out. I liked the first several minutes of Terry's tenure. Dumb.

I got nothin'.

excellent.
It took me a minute to get fully up to speed on that one. Indeed, excellent.
The light of day sometimes strips away my fear
I'm here and I'm the same as I always was, but different
The old fuss burned into a new stint
Another way I can say I'm fine and never know if I'm walking the line or on either side
Cool.

This is why we can't have anything nice around here.

So how long do we keep herding in the noobs with all these promises of mercy and unicorns before we reveal the hazing process?
I say we let them enjoy the barbecue first. They've been out there alone for a long time. Seems the decent thing to do. I'm so excited! They all look so juicy, despite the dehydration!
And a hearty welcome to the noobs and lurkers who've started to come out of the shadows! Please stick around; this place is (usually) great.
It's always great when you're posting!

I have read many posts in this thread. Some have been from posters with whom I share much history. Some have been from posters with whom I share no history. I liken it to a hobo campfire.
You may not think of yourself as a hobo. I've got a wife and kids! But there's a fire. We gather around. I don't see any wife and kids here. Where's your precious wife and kids? Not here. At all.
You want to know how to fit into a hobo campfire? Just wait for the biggest baddest hobo to get too drunk. Then beat the ###### out of him. He'll wake up wondering what the ###### happened.
You'll have a place at the hobo campfire, that way. Be sure to apologize in a threatening way. "Sorry Charlie for whooping your ass last night. I was angry at the wife and kids."
You may tell yourself, this is not my beautiful house, you may tell yourself, this is not my beautiful wife...

PA adjust his beret — and his package.

I want to collect all your posts and put them in PA's poetry thread.
Our most stylish poster. Aud is not far behind.

It's almost as if SabreSpace, after a wrenching, divisive upheaval that nearly tore us asunder, has turned its heart inward, with malice toward none. Is this our Reconstruction?

I trust you've seen the whole clip? Brilliant! The ending is top-notch.

I appreciate any CK references. Where was that bit from, though? A recent one, I think.
-
Drop it - it's not changing. To say this is getting on my nerves is an understatement.
Can it simply be switched off? If not, why not do it? What's the argument for having it?

Balance trainers are great for ankle strength.
It's a CostanzaPad™!

Anybody write poetry? I've become inspired recently after hearing former poet laureate Billy Collins read some of his stuff on "Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!" (I listen to NPR, but I'm not smart.) His work is so accessible and funny, you don't feel like it's even poetry. So I wrote a few. They're throwaways, really, certainly nothing that I would put up against a serious poet's work.
Anyone want to share? I sure as hell am not going first.

The remedy is just to think back to the good ol' days. If you were in front of the person (not hiding behind a computer), would you respond that way? If you would, then it's likely acceptable; or maybe you really are a prick.
Louis C.K. has a funny bit in this vein. How the anonymity and safety of your vehicle gives you license to direct unimaginably rude comments to people, comments you would never make, say, in an elevator if someone stepped in front of you.

Didn't we experiment with that a few years back? Or am I imagining that?
We did. You're not.

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you.
It's almost like you can't quit him.WTF is up with my keyboard? -
Remove post counts. Force new members to upload their own avatar, so no more Connolly Tip-offs.

It's not PA that has his hand on your ass.
:flirt:
It's not my hand. I would use both hands if I ever got that close.

I'm a midnight toker.
Wait what are we talking about?
Are you still able to see the douche?
Things that are AWESOME...

The comeback of the bald eagle seems fully complete. Many people don't seem to bat an eye at seeing one, or having one pointed out to them. Which is a good sign, all in all. I am not one of them. I still get a thrill.
Eagles have become common sights right here in town even. I looked out my back window a few days ago and in that sliver of a view, for a count of one-one thousand, two-one thousand, an eagle flew by, trailed closely by a small, darkish bird that was pestering the crap out of it. The eagle was unfazed, steady, bored. The other bird was all "oogie, boogie, get outtttta here." It was Air Force One being trailed by a piper cub.
This was over the Tuna Creek next to the oil refinery. The older folks will tell you how badly the creek was polluted back in the day, from oil and gas drilling, oil refining, crude sewer systems... Apparently it's gotten better. The eagles are finding fish to eat, anyway.
