The rules are simple, post a reason why this thread sucks and put #10 (if yours is the first post), then someone else will put another reason why it sucks and put #9. The person who posts #1 thinks of a new topic for the top ten. And if you're wondering why The Crossing Guard Captain is starting this thread, it is because I will use it to make a little money on the side, my job doesn't pay well and I have to somehow support my drug habit. Admission is five dollars. Because of the admission cost, I'm betting it won't last more than four hours #10. because I started it.

#5- This thread does not include any of the tips laid down by Pat's "How to start a cool thread" thread. At least, any of the good ones.

#4 Because the Captain is clearly trying to use it to profit from the Card's generosity. Taking what was a free forum that belonged to us all and turning it into a for profit enterprise that benefits only him. [ October 07, 2003, 05:27 PM: Message edited by: The Rabbit ]

LIES! It also benefits the drug dealers, and if I have some money left over I'll give it to charity.

Top ten reasons why jexx didn't follow the rules. #10 she thought by not coming up with a new top ten, she'd kill this thread. [ October 07, 2003, 08:35 PM: Message edited by: ikantspel ]

Sorry to nitpick. Rabbit, that quote is incomplete, there are words cut out of the 2nd sentance that make it a bit more palatable, but still toubling.

Morbo is right. I was reading an article on AOL today where the real quote the guy took was to the extent of "He was little, became big, don't like what he did when big." 2. Now Arnold will have to write a book publishing his memoirs. And honestly, who wants to read THAT!? PS, it's late and I don't care for spelling.
