well shucks

This thread marks the point at which I gave up writing rants.

Not because of zarathustrasbastardson I hope.

Naw.  It was half a dozen noobs at once, from the very first response.

But I also realized that I had said everything I had to say a couple of years earlier, and the general theme of the rants was repetitive.  It was done.

I guess on the bright side, at least you had (have!) a message. I never really ranted because I guess I don't really have anything to say. I just point and glower.

Hiya! Hope you end up posting more than a handful of times.

I am happy for your blanket, and the symbology behind it.

He was really terrible.

You know, I've never been able to tell if Coonskin by Ralph Bakshi is really good or really awful.

It's both simultaneously.

Yeah and Howl has a good point, that Brexit thread opened my eyes to a lot of things, it is definitely important to pay attention to.

It's just a mere distraction, the real shit is going on in the remote island of Fernando Poo

Never heard of it.

I think you're right, Nullified, I'm just being paranoid. Grapes is a handle I use on a game I've been banned from, twice. I saw a strange coincidence and I assumed it was someone fucking with me. It, in all likelyhood, isn't someone trying to fuck with me at all. Apologies everyone.

It was the most interesting thing that occurred here in a week.

Only if you're wimping out of the Brexit thread.

... but not quite dead. Nice to lurk around every few months or so. Might try posting something relevant some day.

That'll put you one up on me.

This is why you should avoid hot dogs on fridays.

Hot dogs are serious business. That is precisely why I refuse to ever get caught up in the Hot Dog/Sandwich thing.

Eh, it happens. That's happened to a bunch of us before.

There was a guy on here who used the name Space Pope, and one day the Colbert Report did a segment in which they joked about a space pope, and so I concluded that Space Pope was Stephen Colbert.

Mind you, this was during a period in which we were convinced one or more Colbert Report writers was reading the forum, so it makes a little more sense

but I did accuse the guy of being Colbert in like 9 threads until he PM'd me about how much it was cracking him up

That still doesn't prove it wasn't Colbert.

I always thought it was "jew's harp"

Big surprise.

I actually liked the old city of Naples. You could see the distinctive Spanish influence on the architecture.

The rest of the city...well, I understand why people don't like it, though I don't share the sentiment. Naples is gloriously loud, chaotic, dirty and dangerous. It's certainly better to visit than to live in.

Sorrento is about half an hour out, I think? No more than an hour, certainly. It's beautiful looking, but it also stands in stark contrast to Naples in terms of being quiet, clean and safe. The food is almost as good as well. I spent a rather relaxing day walking around the town, then having lunch (and returning for dinner) to a small cafe a couple of streets off from the Piazza Tasso, the main square.

To be fair to Naples, I just arrived by train and then drive to Sorrento (it was about an hour, but traffic was brutal - because it was Sunday, apparently) so I likely didnt see any if the nice parts - nor did I get to try any of the food. I loved the food in Sorrento though.
