Also adding to my Thread Chaos Theory. The longer the thread goes and the more off-topic it gets the longer it takes for it to die and stop popping up on the front page.

Is that a bad thing? I thought the point of a message board was for people with like-interests to engage in lively debate on the topic of their mutual admiration (in this case, ISU). The more people get involved and the wider the scope of inquiry, the more diverging opinions you get, leading to renewed interest.

Frankly, I feel the "activity level" has ebbed significantly over the past 1.5 days, probably due to the crackdown on "insulting comments" and the wide-spread locking of threads for one reason or another. I'm thinking of taking a hiatus until things get back to normal or there's something of interest to discuss. I'll see you next Thursday, and I'll save you the trouble, "good riddance, nobody will miss you anyway and I won't let the door hit me in the butt". :rofl8yi:

Have a good one and all hail chaos! I like cheese...

I hate it when I get cockleburrs on my jeans when I'm walking in the timber looking for mushrooms, it sucks man.

I'm not necessarily saying chaos, discussion, or arguement is bad. Just an observation I've made. Sometimes I like the off-topic discussions that people get into; all cyclones, all sports, all the time gets boring.

I used to think I wasn't very good at sports, but then I realized you can buy trophies.

Now I'm good at everything.

A bear and a rabbit were in the woods taking a dump together. The bear says to the rabbit, "Do you have a problem with **** sticking to your fur?" The rabbit says, "No," so the bear grabs the rabbit and wipes his *** with him.

Anyone remember these shows:

Galaxy Rangers (Cool Cartoon show)
Automan (Bad 80s show)
Manimal (Another Bad 80s show)
Airwolf (Cool 80s show)

And what was the name of the show where that Crazy Aussie guy had this futuristic semi truck. Anyone know what I'm talking about? I think he also did battery commercials.

A 95-year old Indian chief visits an Iowa medical grad b/c of a stomach ailment. The doctor asks "when was the last time you took a dump," and the chief says a week. The doctor prescribes a bottle of magnesium citrate a day and a return visit a week later. A week later, the Iowa medical grad asks, "have you moved yet?" The chief says, "Me not move yet." The Iowa med grad prescribes the same treatment forthe next week. This continues for the next month. The chief comes in a month later, and the Iowa med grad asks, "have you moved yet?" The chief says, "Me move tomorrow - house full of ****."

Manimal (Another Bad 80s show)

I totally drop "Manimal" references in conversation, and they are never understood. Slow-mo action sequences rock, by the way.

Wikipedia states that Manimal is often cited as the worst TV series of all time in the US.

Wow.

Also, the show with the truck I was trying to think of was called the Highwayman.
