I still need to add the "disregard" series...

Added to list:

The Disregard Sub-Category
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disregard
Anyone else totally disregard Leia being Luke's sister?
(NOTE: Not really fun or silly, but included to provide frame of reference)

Disregard 2: Electric Boogaloo
Anyone else totally disregard Lumpy being Chewbacca's son?

Disregard 3: Rise of the Machines
Anyone else totally disregard Obi-Wan being Anakin's friend?

Disregard 4: The Quest for Peace
Anyone else totally disregard these "anyone else totally disregard" threads?

Disregard 5: A New Beginning
Anyone else totally disregard the 'Anyone else totally disregard these "anyone else totally disregard" threads?'thread?

Oh man, I remember those threads. Can't believe that was so shortly after I'd joined.

Should Ady's threads count? There have been several memorable moments in them, particularly involving a certain Gummy Bear addict...

One funny moment (possibly impossible to reconstruct) was over on Ric's observation thread when almost all the avatars suddenly became Ric Clones much to his confusion and annoyance (he takes things far more seriously than you do Frink).

I think they count, depending on what happened.  Can you link to specific incidents?

I agree that it was funny, and unfortunately I agree that it would be impossible to reconstruct.  I will probably stick a link to the observation thread in the fun/silly category at some point, considering the historical value (i.e. who is Ric?).

The problem with Ady's threads are that their page counts tends to range in the hundreds.

Yes, but I can link to a specific post rather than the whole thread.

Oh, of course.

I posted this in the wrong thread. Am I drunk?

 Alright, sir, what I need you to do is stand there straight with your hands down to you side and keeping your head level. I am going to ask you to follow the tip of my pen with your eyes and your eyes only without moving your head.

But how am I supposed to look at it without moving my head?

**eating chips** I love watching COPS.......I bet he's gonna make a run for it...lol

Whoa, C3PX, when did I say that?  And what made you put it as your sig?  Not that I'm complaining... just curious.

 *thinking* (must be pretty drunk to ask such a silly question)

Sir, I will bring my pen up in front of your eyes and I simply want you to follow the tip of my pen with your eyes and your eyes only.

Actually ferris, this happened to me years ago in a nightclub. I went there with two friends, one of whom was the DD - me and the other friend were already pretty soused when we got there. Not long after we arrived, the other friend decided to make a complete circuit around the inside of the club, causing a minor commotion as he went along. So naturally we were escorted outside. When the officer had me follow the light, he stopped and reminded me to follow with my eyes. I replied, "But it's hard!" My luck being incredibly good that night, our sober friend knew that cop and convinced him not to do anything to us. We had to leave the club, of course.

Lesson learned. I haven't been drunk in about four years. I can't even remember the last time I had a drink.

Ha ha. It was in one of the threads Fink linked to. Now I have to try to remember which one now.

I just thought it was a really funny quote, because so many have mistaken you for a girl due to your avatar.

EDIT:  Eh, and I gotta say, I don't really miss WESHALLPRESERVE.  Rereading his posts gave me a headache, as well as his penchant for declaring his age every other sentence.  I guess he'd be pushing 18 now.  Oh, and this argument was brought to you by a soon to be 24 year old.  Aren't I so amazing at math for someone so young? =P

His age declaration thing always cracked me up. Don't know if his profile still does, but he always had his age in his sig too.

There's a guy on faneditforum.com who has his age in his sig, and I swear it says "I'm Fourteen and living life to the fullest."  Maybe it's the same guy and he doesn't age at the same rate we all do?

Maybe he has a leap year birthday and he turns fifteen in 2012.

If anyone could find the adywan thread meltdowns, that'd be awesome. The search engine, imperfect though it is, can help you find the meltdown by plugging in any phrase you might be able to remember from that thread. I've found a couple of fun old threads that way.

I was following my friend closely at the time, trying to get his attention and stop him from acting the fool, and I'm certain that it appeared to others that my friend and I were BOTH causing a commotion. For that matter, maybe I really was - I just didn't remember it that way.

bkev mentioned the Gummy Bear addict, and my search engine search only turned up a somewhat dry Gummy Bear thread - nothing having to do with Ady.

Ok bkev, we're waiting...

It was basically everyone jumpingo n janskeet for asking questions that were asked only 3 pages ago... quite frequently. I'm sure there were other incidents, but I don't remember them.
