While your writing shows intelligence and is generally eloquent, I will argue this point above; or argue that if you read it, you still didn't get the feel of the place. There are certain more serious areas and very strong technical discussions. But this is also a very social and informal place. A bit closed, yes; it's your neighborhood bar that is cautious about welcoming new folks into the fold so easily. It is NOT your typical forum....the Welcome Message makes that clear. Writing a LARGE amount as a new poster here is akin to coming into that neighborhood bar and proceeding to take over an entire conversation. People started replying that they weren't interested in all you were saying, yet you went on and just became argumentative when the bar owner called you out. This is a different forum. Look around more, pay attention to how and where things get posted, and you'll see why many people reacted the way they did, EDIT: OK, Grawk said it as well and more succinctly than me....

Started listening to this at work, got interrupted and didn't finish. This lady still knows how to make music. Mellower as she ages, less quirky, but still fairly lovely.

Fucking Bruins are the opposite. 5% killer instinct, 95% missing. At the beginning of the year I didn't expect them to make the playoffs. With some streaks of great hockey, they brought my hope back. They had even played many Eastern Conference teams well, save the great Caps. Now, they could fizzle out with an ugly whimper in the last few games, just like last year. If they can get up to beat the Wings tomorrow, that will help. But we'll see.....

RIP Merle. Great name, great man....

That was kind of (TL) and I (DR)

You CAN have too much cake, so I'll just wish a Happy Birthday!

It does indeed....Happy Birthday!

Nate, you just missed a 3-5" band that came a little South of you. I think we got about 4" here. Cold for a few days, so I will have to clear some of this out

Happy Birthday Mike!

Ouch, hope it's not as bad as Nate's neighbors' situation! Good luck with the rest of it.....that snow is now hitting us, Happy Spring Mothersfucker!

Happy Birthday Barrister Professor Doug!

That wall.....rocks Me: back to the land of the living, prep and procedure done with minimal downtime and discomfort. Two very small polyps to be checked at the lab, but overall doctor not concerned so far. I want the anesthesia I got to be OTC. Went down like a baby, and once I woke up I was quite lucid quite quickly! EDIT: Iain, I did actually get pics. But I'll refrain from posting or sending EDIT again: that was it, Chris. I heard them mention it to another patient. Yes, I guess I couldn't do that EVERY night....

That's what I have, Marc. And it AIN'T lightly..... But yeah, I've heard some horror stories about the barium drinks.

You guys had me laughing so hard liquid almost came out of my.....uhhhhhm, never mind. Dusty: my boss already played the puns with "Game of Thrones" and your same wish..... And Iain: I'll PM you the pics, with the doctor's autograph. Thankfully, this time my head will be out of there

Great Scot, it's your birthday? Have a good one!

Happy Colonoscopy Prep Day to me.... Water, tea, green Jell-O on the menu today, before guzzling some massive water-powder-mix to cleanse me for my Alien Probe tomorrow. Fun.....

RIP Patty. A tough early life amidst the fame, and a great lady....

Another great one....RIP.......

RIP Ken.....

Very true Wayne....RIP Joe.

Way too fucking young....RIP.....

An incredible life and story.....RIP Mr. Grove.

I ALMOST lasted! I used to work with a woman who came from Russia, she had seen him (and even met him; he was apparently quite popular). "They" wouldn't allow him to sing an American song, at least the words, so he took the tune....and the rest is history.
