ArchivesBurnin' the midnight oil?
in reply to a message by Lillian
Goes both ways: Great folks like yourself certainly make this board worth visiting and much more than an academic wasteland - the fantastic quirky exchange between Nan and Mar is a great sample of how things used to be around here a few years ago :)
I enjoy posting at the lounge on occasion, but in small doses so as not to absorb too much pre-pubescence. I would hate to start developing titties at my age, if you know what I mean.

Your wife probably would not approve either.
I only got to burn an hour's worth last night. I worked my usual 12hr shifts Fri-Sat-Sun nights, slept all day Monday, got up for dinner, then David wanted me to go back to bed with him, of course. I wasn't tired anymore, natch. I waited for the serious snoring then crept out to pursue my own interests for a bit. But he got up for some reason (noticed I was gone, most likely), and caught me! Back to bed it was...
Many heartfelt congratulations on the arrival of Constantine Julian, btw! I love the name, Constantine is on my faves list. This makes three, does it not? Two boys and a girl, if I am not mistaken? Now your daughter needs a sister in a year or two, eh? I'm a believer in a balanced family; I wanted my son to have a brother, and my daughter a sister. I've warned David that one more for us would obligate us to have another after that. He's not going for it, he seems to think six is too many! :-)

Four, if we count Hector the beagle and Phrixus the Parrot :)
Actually two: Nephele, who is 6 years old, and Constantine Julian who is five months old...perfect balance, my procreating days are now over ;)

My bad
I must have subconsciously made note of Constantine already, perhaps you've mentioned him but not his name? In any case, cheers to all!

Hails to y'all from Satan Herself
Okay, Pavlos, I think the mental image of you developing titties has seriously scarred me. :)
Damn, I miss the good ol' days. Mar here is okay, but do you remember the great Elaine War of 2001? It was you (a.k.a. "PriaposLovs"), me, Daivdh, and Phyllis. Does the message board still get lunatics like Elaine?
Hey, win any more Anagrammy Awards lately? And I hear Mike's now married!

Hi Nanaea,
I don't know you (yet, and except by reputation lol) but if you'd been around you would've enjoyed Constantin the "Albanish" poster. Search him ;-D

But it's far cooler meeting you, Chrisell.

Yep, how could I have forgotten about him !
He visited the forum several times under different handles and insisted that practically everything including sliced bread was invented by the "Albanish" (sic), and provided crackpot explanations. The beauty of it is that he never realized that we were all laughing at his expense -- and to this day believes we represent some sinister anti-"albanish" conspiracy ;)

Albanishness!
Never has the Albanish language been so fun :D
And Nanaea, its great to see you again. Yep, you probably have no clue who I am, but in days of yore when I was scared little poster that rarely posted, I would read your witty posts and stand in awe. Damn, I'm getting the jitters talking about it.

Ah yes, the "What's Elaine's Problem" quiz remains one of the funniest thing you (or anyone else) has ever published on the net. Remember Eaglebeak ? That absolutely demented character out on a quixotic crusade to defend the postumous honour of his ghastly, unsightly eyesore of a Russian Emperess? He was a true "old school" lunatic gentleman along the lines of Erich von Stroheim in the Grand Illusion. They dont make them like that anymore!
Not many loonies visit BtN, and those who do are of the teenybopping variety at the Lounge -- they are humorlessly swatted upon by the moderators on sight:(
As far as the old gang is concerned, I have no news whatsoever from Davidh. Sarahjeanne is getting married pretty soon to some luckybastard, and Phyllis is the remaining Kabbal-ero to still occasionally post, but at the Lounge.
I havent given up on anagrams, here are some recent samples:
An equal opportunities employer = I put some inept queer on a payroll
The Twentieth Winter Olympic Games = We compete in thermal tights, yet win
Heel claims ~ me, Achilles
Since we last spoke, I have a new son (5 mo), Constantine Julian (Constantine was my dad's name, but also happened to be a horrible Byzantine Emperor, so I also insisted on Julian, who was my favorite one) and a Beagle, Hector.
Whassup with you? What dark virtual venues have you been terrorizing lately? How is Pwcca (sp?) the MinPin?

Catching up
Trust you, Bro' to dig up those old posts. What a fun trip down Memory Lane. :)
"Not many loonies visit BtN, and those who do are of the teenybopping variety at the Lounge -- they are humorlessly swatted upon by the moderators on sight:("
BTN has moderators now? I remember back when Mike was doing it all on his own (and probably wearing himself to a frazzle, too).
"As far as the old gang is concerned, I have no news whatsoever from Davidh. Sarahjeanne is getting married pretty soon to some luckybastard, and Phyllis is the remaining Kabbal-ero to still occasionally post, but at the Lounge."
Maybe Daividh will pop in again sometime. It'd be nice to run into him. Sarahjeanne is getting married??? I remember when her great love was the Cardinals baseball team! Phyllis is still around? I'd love to "see" her again. Her vampire "Sylphia Life" is still in existence over in Ravenblack City (if she remembers that).

BRILLIANT! You are, and always will be, the Anagrammaster!
"Since we last spoke, I have a new son (5 mo), Constantine Julian (Constantine was my dad's name, but also happened to be a horrible Byzantine Emperor, so I also insisted on Julian, who was my favorite one) and a Beagle, Hector."
I knew about C.J. -- you'd e-mailed me awhile back when he was born. Did you get my return e-mail to you?
"Whassup with you? What dark virtual venues have you been terrorizing lately? How is Pwcca (sp?) the MinPin?"
I've got a little pack of minpins now. Pwcca had moved on to a new family, though, but the ones I've got now are all permanent residents and I'm no longer doing the rescue thing.

I'm a little late, but...
Oh, that was a great post by Daividh about the paragraph police being punctual. I would *love* to use that on some people now... heh
And wow, I think if I tried to post a game like that, I would be run off the boards right now. Classic.
What are the convulsions of a city in comparison with the insurrections of the soul?
Man is a depth still greater than the people.

*Laughing uncontrollably*
This is such hilarious stuff! Kudos to all of the 'notable idiots' for giving me a reason to laugh besides a funny number plate I saw today! Well done to you, Pavlos, the artist formerly known as PriaposLovs, for bringing these up! I just wish I had been here ever since the board began...

...I cannot stifle the laughter.
Oh, boy, I wish I was here earlier. Were there any other notable idiots?
