True dat. I actually learned three things from this:
1. "I don't know what you will look like in 10 years time" is not a good way to break up with someone.
2. Don't ever break up with someone over the office phone system.
3. Meetings will never be the same again.

I blame the iPhone 3G.
People are too busy playing Super Monkey Ball on their new iPhones to post here.

That reminds me of the belt I got from American Eagle on clearance a while back. It took me a couple months to figure out what that odd-shaped hole on the back of the belt was for. A bottle opener. Now it's fun in an awkward sort of way to stare someone in the eyes as I open their beer with my crotch.

I blame the Olympics, which have thus far failed to produce a new Carly, meaning that we have nothing new to discuss.

Judging from the quality of recent posts, I presumed you already did.

Monthly Roast threads would be amusing, if they weren't against forum rules.
Then again, their content would probably quickly violate other forum rules as well...

That is a fun idea, too bad about the rules though. It would be chaos.

I apologize for not being here. I've been working on my car since I got up at the crack of 10:30.

I think it has more to do with some people who carry a grudge from thread to thread more than anything else. More than a feeling of community, this site seems these days to have a siege mentality.

We must move forward with the MacNN Ideal, then take over other forums by force.

I think Randman is correct about people bearing too many grudges. And I think the source of this is the Politics Lounge. It has had the opposite of its intended effect and has created a no holds barred atmosphere which engenders animosity that carries over into this forum.
I can't say I've been Mr. Congenial in the poli lounge myself, but I still think that the lounge would be better off if we removed the politics subforum and then go back to how we used to do things, which was of course have a small number of infrequent politics threads that are moderated to the same standard as any other discussions. This would cut down on the hysteria and animosity I think.

Maybe what this place needs is some more girls. My friend Ben does this really funny thing where he makes his pants really tight and pretends that he is a disco dancer trying to pick up the chicks. He also knows some girls maybe he can get them to post here. That might help at least for people here that like girls like me.

I agree. More of a female presence here would be a Very Good Thing. We have a few female members, but their gender doesn't seem to be much of an issue. And for that matter, some that we've had posting here that made a point of their gender weren't the most stable people... I don't know why that is.
And I had to read the last sentence of your post several times before I understood it. You think having more girls posting here would be helpful, at least for "straight guys" like yourself. It wasn't easy to figure that out!

So everybody invite girls. Maybe get them to include (girl) in their nicknames so that we know that they are a girl.

Just as long as they don't choose Girl Buttsauce. That's not attractive.

While BS entertains an interesting thought, I disagree.
Could you imagine how off topic a thread run by women could be?

I want to give notice right now of two things: first, that I, personally, had NOTHING to do with the above statement, and second, that I'll be taking cover in a convenient bunker quite a ways away from Dakar for the foreseeable future. Just a precaution....

Contrary to many myths that have existed since the dawn of mankind, women do fart.

Pfft. Fart? I was referring to the other smell. The one not spoken of - for fear of death.
Here's a (bad) joke:
Q: What did the blind man say as he passed the fish market?
A: Morning, ladies!
