We haven't had one of these in a while [Big Grin]

Farmgirl made me think of it.
quote:
Wow! I actually started a thread and made it to two pages! Does that make me a true Hatracker now?


Farmgirl

1) You don't have to ask you just know
2) You wear your "refresh" button out on your screen to see where the next post is
3) You obesses over the number of names that you have or don't have on your "Real Hatracker" list.
4) In BCS fashion, you begin adding "quality jatraquero" points for famous hatrackers you've met. Examples: Ralphie 200pts TomD 100 Celia60 50 OSC 10 KACard 150 Bob_Scopatz 95 Papa Moose 170
5) You have participated in no less than 4 homosexuality threads and the smiley argument and/or you have 200 posts on the hug thread and participated in the smiley argument

6)???? You tell me

I guess I'm not one because I don't know what BCS means. But maybe I am one because I finally went to strongbad.

All your best ideas that earn you acclaim with your friends ultimately come from Hatrack.

<-- seen as very clever recently. Thank you Hatrack!

BCS= Bowl Championship Series for college football. If a team beats a current top 10 football team then it gets get an extra bonus known as a "quality win" in the points cacluations to see where they rank.

OSC just plain doesn't post enough. He isn't a true jatraquero. I bet he misses most of the in jokes that have developed on his forum even if he owns it. KACard does post more, and is one of our illustrious moderators so in Hatrack term's she's got a higher points rating.

Ceila you get your points for evilness alone

Pooka, I hope you know the difference between Pooka and Pepek.

Papa, Mamma won't be happy with that one, and since no one can get mad at Ralphie, you will be the one in trouble.

d00d. Kristine got more points by meeting me than I did by meeting her.

That's whack*.

And there's no way I'm going to allow Squirrel to be pissed off at me for any reason. She's given birth to two children. I whine when I have to pass up dessert, much less human life forms from my nether regions.

Gosh, Toni, I thought we generally limited our discussions of your anatomy to the PG-13 parts.

celia, if you want a fight, you just tell me when and where. I've got a whole case of whoop-ass right here with your name on it.

You know, I probably have one of the highest tribute thread-to-list inclusion ratios on the board.

You know what a Dobie is and even saw some of the originals.

You have a list of which Hatrack offspring will grow up to marry which other Hatrack offspring.

You have at least one set of chain mesh underwear.

You miss people that most posters here don't even remember.

You've sent an e-mail disappointed that the smilies didn't show up when you hit "post"

I actually went through a time where I didn't know what jatraquero was supposed to mean. I still read the j as what English speakers would consider a /y/ sound. I asked what a meme was. I guess one many levels I'm still not- I lack the one ness of acrodecryption.

But I have gone through the realizing I can agree with people that I feel I have been flamed by. Yeah, I know I haven't ever really been flamed, or I'd have changed my ID and come back as a guy. Or something.

Also, I've never been Trogdor the Burninator.

Odoul's the short quality jatraquero list was given strictly for EXAMPLES. If I had started putting in every jatraquero I wanted to, the list would have gone on for pages and defeated the point of the thread. I was hoping that the readers would want to pick their own quality jatrarqueros and award them points. You could then lobby for inclusion. As far as I'm concerned it is perfectly legit.

You've always stood out in my mind, Jenny. Although it might just be the association with "sexy boots." Me, I'm doomed. Confusing me with Storm Saxon is a Hatrack meme at this point. (Or do I flatter myself?)

I'm not sure if Ralphie should be worth that many points. So many people have met her, her point value should be drastically lower. You shouldn't be worth that many points if your easy ... er, I mean easily met.

XIX) [or whatever number we are on.] You always post where you are going to be in the hopes of meeting up with another Jatraquero. (PS, I'll be in the bathroom in 5 minutes. Anyone else going to be there?)

XX) Your day automatically brightens when Bob makes a list, cause you know its going to be funny.

XXI) You know what God thinks, cause you've read the threads.
