Annie, you have already kissed me and pantsed me. I believe I'm a step up from everyone else, wouldn't you?

Oh, I'm aware she's my age and female. But the picture's not complete, so to speak; we need the Majors' photo before we can decide whether it's worth the road trip to Montana (and requisite stop in Vegas).
And yes, it's Majors' no matter what her family says.

Morgan Majors should ring a major bell for anyone who's been on this forum since the dawn of time.

Yes, at one time he was the reigning King of Hatrack before he jilted us for his other forum.

As I recall, the breadth of his knowledge and interests was astonishing. I can't believe Ars Technica really does it for him, you know? I mean they're so limited there! We are the forum with that vast scope to talk about absolutely anything at all! How could he think of leaving us for them? <sobs quietly into her hankerchief>

So many tempting offers, this being among the most tempting:
quote:Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, marry me?
But I do suppose T Smith is right about our past, and TAK nailed my weakness for physicists. Dan's scenario was at least well-rehearsed.
Glad that out of all these fine threads, Richard, this one would tempt you to reply. I have pictures on the way as soon as foobonic is back in action.
However, I shall have to refrain judgement until I've fully considered all my possibilities, and this involes waiting a week while they hook up our DSL at my new house.
Carry on, carry on. Have some refreshments while you're waiting.

They aren't limited there at all. I fluctuate between posting here, at Ars, and at a few other fora I frequent. Ars is the most broad, in terms of scope, of the lot.

Brettly, I don't remember you on the Big Mouth Lion at all. Were you around back then? What name did you post under?
Morgan Majors started about a third of the threads on the BML forum. You would have had a hard time missing her.
Twinky: it IS? Maybe we should be posting there instead, then! Is it like hatrack at all? I wandered over there a few times but what I saw seemed to be all technical stuff and only technical stuff. Not even technical stuff in general but just computers. Maybe I didn't wait long enough or look in enough detail, though. Will you describe to me your impression of what it's like over there? Are they newbie-friendly?

I'd highly recommend Ars...except for the fact that the forums of general interest are now subscriber-only. The tech fora -- I was fascinated with them for awhile until I learned everything they had to teach; I never thought it would happen, but I'm largely a Lykaion whore these days. The Lounge is a bit more madcap than we're used to (or not, y'all seem to have stepped up the rambunctiousness in my absence), but I think you'd find the tenor and intelligence of SoapBox debates quite agreeable.

FWIW, I'm also a moderator at Doom9. That's it! Now that I have two crowns on my head, I can offer Annie one of them in matrimony, thus enthroning the Hatrack Regency.
Edit: I remember Brettly10. I'm having trouble finding my BigMouth archive in the midst of my digital packrat-itis, so I can't say anything witty about him just yet.

I SO want a copy of that BML archive, when you find it! I think I wrote my best stuff over there and now I'm just noodling around, passing the time. <laughs>

Dan_raven, your dialog is from a Marx Brothers movie. (I'm sure Google could tell me which one.)

Jenny's got a major case of fluff-itis. Though I'm glad to see Hobbes never posted in this thread. At least that I saw. The number of women (now including myself) who have is alarming.

Alas, snatched away by a rogue tiger -- and I just made my Vegas trip, too. At least I happened upon pics in the interim, if I recall vaguely. (Meanwhile, funny that even though I attended the first picnic, AKA is probably the only current poster to know what I look like.)
Oh, and quit the random digression to Ars, I'm through with them even if they don't know it.

quote: Incidentally, it was the Marx Brother's movie, Duck Soup...
Isn't it A Night at the Opera? (Because the scene on the boat then heads into the scene in the tiny little cabin, which is definately A Night at the Opera.)
That's my favourite Marx Brothers film.
