Chicken ranch?
The next time you decide to stab me in the back... have the guts to do it to my face.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

chicken ranch? That puts a whole nother spin on Frank Purdue's business, doesn't it?

I find crib somewhat disturbing.
And stew?

Yeah, I'm a little unclear on "stew" as well.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Crib is old -- I know I just read it in a story about gold-rush era Alaska.

If I only had a brain...
Stew is old, too; I think it's in Shakespeare.

It makes me want to say "Pimp my crib" which would be oddly appropriate.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think this board would make an interesting sociology study
Not much more then any other boards, I don't think. That above discussion happens on web sites, USENET, mailing lists -- it's the nature of the beast. We're so unspecial.

One of the things I really enjoy at this point is observing a community, where I used to be super active, but now I lurk except for a very small private thread.
In observing, I see that the same people have the same arguments on repeat. Some of the scandals change, otherwise it's all groundhog day.
Nature of the beast, I'd assume.
edited for clarity.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I've been on four boards, I've seen this sort of thing on two of them. It happens, it doesn't. IMHO, it's neither unique nor universal.
