Useless Facts/Chit Chat Thread

Heard a great comment this morning on the news:

"The good thing about Thursday is it's attached to Friday."

CNN Robin? I liked that quote too

 

[kimluvswdw]

i'll be at the fort in t-2 hours......

I wish I was. December is just not getting here fast enough.

Yep, CNN Headline News, the Robin and Company edition in the mornings. I watch it for the news of course, not because I like to stare at Robin Meade or anything

Hey Colson....I think we may be better off sticking to the camping forum rather than the CB.....people are nicer here.

I was just at StoneMountainPark.com planning our weekend and found this: http://snowmountainpark.com/ We are Mountain Members so tickets are only $10 each! Now I'm booking for the last week in December to January. I sent the link to DH and he "suggested" camping. Nope, not gonna do it! I'm booking one of their resorts. After a day of cold wet snow, I want a nice hot bath and a nice comfy bed and lots of hot chocolate!

Uh-Uh - that's your story and you stick to it!
(So I am sure you didn't notice her shirt this morning kept her midriff playing peek a boo)

I come here for the nice quotient. The CB is a rough place.

That's why I rarely go to the community board. In fact, the only time I go there is if I im in the middle of a big downtime at work and have absolutely nothing to do (which thankfully is rare ). Normally I skip most of the posts, although I find some of the "advice" people give is just hilarious.

And on an entirely different off-topic topic....

Congrats to LSU fans for your victory last night. You guys destroyed Miss State, I watched most of the game. Was great to have the college football season begin again, my Bud Light and I were very happy...lol.

Although, hopefully this isn't a foreshadowing of things to come. There were about 4 games that they either had on or were showing scores for last night, and every single one of them was a blowout. Overall, a very "boring" college football night, Miss State made it interesting the first quarter and a half but after that it was a joke.

Hopefully this weekend will have a lot better game. Looking forward to the Tennessee game Sat night, as well as watching Va Tech lose (sorry, I feel bad for what happened there, but that doesn't mean I have to root for the team ).

And watching the beginning of the unbelievable, it can't be real, they're back, Miami Hurricanes undefeated season (one can wish)!!

Love Stone Mountain!!! Only been there once when I was a teenager, but had a lot of fun, I remember taking the trolly or whatever it was up to see the face.

Hmm, I actually just went to the website to see what it's like now. Holy cow Batman! That place is A LOT different then when I went, when I was there it was basically just the trolly and the carvings in the rock, now it's a theme park and has laser light shows. That's just crazy.

I still remember my parents buying me a train conductor hat that said Stone Mountain on it, was my favorite hat for months

Our one and only trip to Stone Mountain was in 1983 when I was stationed at Ft. Benning. They had a steam train around the bottom which was a neat ride. I remember some kid shook up a can of soda and opened it spraying my new 35mm camera, ruining it. The kids father laughed and laughed until he saw how angry I was, then he took the kid and ran like the wind.

The camping forum is sooooooooooo dead on Fridays

That's cause Gatordad is at the Fort and isn't posting about pork roll or hot dogs.

I've been over on the Community Board looking at pictures of that lady's feet who says she got chemical burns from her Walmart flip flops she paid $2.44 for.

I didn't even know there was this board. I went over to browse and got caught by the title 'My DH got another woman pregnant' Then went on to see many other strange threads. This must be the Jerry Springer area of the DIS.

Of course.... Chris if you were at the fort, you'd be huddled in your rig as it is POURING right now.

We chatted with Ms. Sundee last night, and she said I was the coolest Disboarder she'd ever met

and I met the Big Kahuna and the Kahunette... they are very nice people.

It looks like the rain is letting up, let me go. I have to let my 6 year old drive the golf cart while I go smoke with the peacocks.

I came to that conclusion too.

 

[Gatordad]

if you want nasty boards, go on the cruisecritic.com ones and tell them you aren't getting dressed up for formal nights........ woooooooooooooooooow

 

[Eeyore'sthebest]

I came to that conclusion too.

Oh come on now. Its fun and entertaining! I never knew that I did so many things incorrectly before I went there.
For instance, who knew that I was supposed to tip the groomers at Pet Smart?

Who knew that so many people could diagnose diseases, marriage infidelities and learning disabilities just by what other people post??

Who knew that so many people can get riled up by a simple internet posting in on a public message board??

Oh and you missed the best one where the thread was actually removed. This male disboarder had been posting for awhile. Apparently his wife was annoyed and started looking at what he was saying. Some other hussey of a disboarder was PMing her wonderful husband propositioning him. So she had banned him from the Dis. It was either the Dis or their marriage. The responses started with "Hugs. I hope you resolve things." to this all out bashing - "What wife reads her husbands PMs? You should be ashamed." "Are you sure this is really his wife and not him?" It got so bad that the mods were forced to delete it entirely. Glad I got to see it prior to the "poofing".

So yes, the CB is a unique, Jerry Springer like place.

Must have been made in the same chinese factory that made all the Fisher Price toys w/lead based paint..........

I need to look into the Community Board (missed the CB reference at first).

My favorite threads for hyperbole on DisBoard:

Resorts: Any post on tipping. Wow.
DDP: Take your pick, the fur flies in here......
Theme Parks: Any "people are so rude" etc posts.
Family: Any "should I take my kids out of school" post.

Great entertainment value.

It reminds me of an aphorism from someone much smarter than me.

Life is a tragedy for those who feel, but a comedy to those who think" - Horace Walpole.

Have a nice day.
