Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hee. That's an old tradition. Trudy's one of the few that still carry it on. It used to take us much longer to get through posts, and it would be something of a badge of honor to hit large round number posts, like Trudy's 3000. We'd all scamper in our chatter to try to get the number, and would triumphantly declare "Numberslut" and then, of course, later "Number Companion!" with our (generally contentless) posts.

These days we just fly through the posts, so it's not as crazy a deal, although we do still aim for the 10,000 post, after which the thread automatically rolls over and plays dead, until an admin wanders by to set up the new one. Either that or we kill the thread in haiku. Or puns.

And then, we're number geeks, so sometimes we aim for apparently meaningless combinations of numbers.

"I am the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world"

Back when I was a Slam Poet I actually competed in the SE Regional Haiku Slam. Haikus are too much fun.

One thing I like about this place is the quirks and oddities.

I think we're made entirely of quirks and oddities.

Big D's a slamming man. One of our old school Buffistae, Victor, is and has been for a long time, active in slams and poetry.

The status is NOT quo.

Along with his lovely wife, thessaly.

I'm not here, in case anyone was wondering.

"I am the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world"

Roanoke's Slam scene imploded otherwise I'd still be active. I did regionals and nationals in 2000, some of the most fun I've ever had.

I think we're made entirely of quirks and oddities.

I've never felt comfortable hiding in the ample forests of normal people.

I think they all went to Croatan.

It's free, even after being taken over by Ancestry.com.

Can anyone else who's not a member of Ancestry.com access the site?

I'm going to blame it on the multiple drugs Hubby's on. He's watching the Spanish-language video music channel--end enjoying it. Not that he speaks a lick of Spanish.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I got stuck on that channel yesterday. There was an anti-USA vid that seemed to be made out of paper cuts that was really captivating.
