I don’t really like haikus. Limericks are a superior form of poetry.

I have been told that the English language doesn’t quite capture the beauty of haiku as an art form the way Japanese does.

I don’t think I’m as bad as Sean Spicer, but I do really like Mentos sugar free gum. I particularly like Spearmint.

I found out that by clicking on somebodies account and changing the number at the end of the URL you can find every member on this forum, when I stumbled upon an account that was my first name and initial of my last name. I don’t remember ever creating an account with my own name, and I highly doubt anyone else shares my first name and last initial (I have a very uncommon first name). I wonder if I tried to create an account and it didn’t work out, but I don’t remember anything like that happening. Weird.

Not enough people read the EU.

I checked out a number of the earliest accounts, and most have no post histories. Odd. I wonder if their posts were lost in a past crash.

That doesn’t sound like something you should be able to do. Please don’t break the forum!

I suggest watching the Prequels - it works for me on occasion when troubled by not sleeping.

I might be wrong but I don’t think the earliest posts on the forum were saved after a forum upgrade at some point.

This looks related to my post about www.originaltrilogy.com/forum not working.

That’s exactly what it is.

By the way, none, the topic title can change and it won’t hurt the functionality of the link. The software only looks at the forum/category/topic ID when pulling the data, and it’s also smart enough to recognize when the topic title has changed from what’s requested in the link and redirect the user to the proper URL. There’s no need to truncate it. Actually, you hurt our search engine rankings by removing that text because keywords in the URL are a factor in page rank.

Check out this URL and how it redirects you to the proper page:

http://www.businessinsider.com/mcdonalds-szechuan-mcnugget-sauce-backlash-2017-10

Three of us went to McDonalds on the day of the Szechuan sauce to partake, after being assured earlier in the day that there would, indeed, be Szechuan sauce. Imagine our outrage when there was, in fact, no Szechuan sauce. Imagine how we shrugged in seething fury and bought some nuggets anyway, and fumed with the fierceness of a thousand blazing suns while contenting ourselves with a themed sticker as an apology.

It was just a gimmick, people.

Sheesh.

You probably don’t recognize me because of the red arm.

I’ve never made a pancake. The few times I’ve had then they were made by others. Not my cat.

America’s 2017 bad streak continues.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/11/sports/soccer/usmnt-world-cup.html

COUVA, Trinidad and Tobago — Just win the game. Win the game against Trinidad and Tobago on Tuesday, the United States national team knew, and nothing else would matter.

But the Americans didn’t win. Over 90 excruciating minutes, and then a half-dozen more in extra time, it all went very, very wrong. Even a tie would have been enough for the Americans. Even with a loss, they still might have been all right, depending on other results. But those went wrong, too.

And so the United States is not going to the World Cup in Russia next summer, but Panama is, and Honduras might. “It was a perfect storm kind of a night, where everything that could have possibly went wrong did, in this stadium and two others,” Michael Bradley, the American captain, said.

However, this is perfectly placed.

Per the local Sebastian Daily, the man reportedly had a bet with his wife in which the supporter of the losing team would have to burn their jersey. The Cowboys lost, 35-31, and so the guy went outside to burn his jersey. Okay. But:

"He told deputies that he was drunk and tried to put the jersey on while it was burning.

Family members pulled the jersey off the man at the Vero Beach residence and rushed him to the Indian River Medical Center."
