Journal FortKnox's Journal: I Know Why Em Left 29
I really do. It is all clear to me now.
I see the whining he is talking about. I actually have to force myself to not post nasty replies. Some occasionally leak out, so I apologize if I sent you a bad reply (I'm really a good guy at heart, just have been in a nasty mood online or something?).
Anywho, that's why I haven't been posting much. And, no, I'm not depressed or anything. In fact, I'm making a semi-major job move that will boost my career shortly (will post a JE when everythign is in place). Maybe its the stress of not having everythign set yet?

You thought the Carmen Electra Stripper Video Workout wouldn't work; didn't you?
I think you owe me a beer for turning you on to it.
Hey Congrats I really hope it works out.

In any case, I still don't understand who the hell wants a granite computer. Although a stone laptop would be cool -- I can see coming into a meeting and dropping my marble StonePad onto the table. And the people who were so irate a couple of weeks ago when I pointed out that a TiBook is

What we need is a new board with a new whining system. A whining system that won't break.

I'll chime in on are we there yet, but it's only going to work so long as the community doesn't grow out of control or the moderation system isn't broken, or possibly both. Even then, you're probably still gonna see some whining.

If not, then here goes. So there are these men that build the pharaoh's tomb. They decoreate it, paint it, drag the sarcophagus in there and then seal and conceal the entrance. And then, their heads are chopped off and their bodies dumped into the Nile to make the crocodile-gods happy.
Of course that's not where it ends. See, the men that did the chopping know too much. So their heads get chopped off as well, and bodies dumped into the N

Oh well, can't finish without bitching at something, so here goes: it really sucks how every single position on the Tennessee Titans roster has been decimated by injuries this year. I swear the team's so banged up that they could keep the cast of ER busy for the rest of the century.

You are of course right, but to my defense: I don't follow any "European" sports either. I just never got into sports... Probably explains a lot about my physical condition ;-)

Yes it does. You're supposed to whine about American sports. Don't you know anything?

It's bad enough that the Titans have seven or eight of their starting defense missing, half their OL out, two of their best three WRs either

The cost to publish is nothing. There's no moderation intended to remove whining, contrary positions, or annoying presentation. There's no reason not to post in whatever manner a person feels fit.
Newspapers at least have editors to filter spurious reader comments. The journalists have to take the cost to publish into account

Other than that, what he said.
My additional two cents: I came here originally for discourse, debate, talk and the occasional tangent of silliness. Sort of like Usenet without the rampant cross-posting, spam, idiotic flamewars and so forth. And for a while, it was good...then I despaired of the front page, and discovered zoo.pl and journal.pl. And for a while, it was good...
