Besides, you can ask the mods if you are so convinced. Not that that is conclusive, but it supports my non-sockiness.

Well, it's still a bit of a pain, since I would have switched the placement of my gold and silver generals, but I made the error, and it's not too big a deal. I'll work with it.
Oh, well, it could have been worse.

Well, it proves that I was here before Ric was banned.

Its got to be a pun on TFN.
I've suspected RicOlie_2 was a sock since it appeared after the first RicOlie was banned as a sock ..... I just don't know how to prove it.
:(
Check my join date and you are effectively un-proved.
I wrote my post in such a way that it would be easy to tell I meant the exact opposite, and then you could gather that the other stuff didn't bug me. So I thought, anyway. You don't seem to catch on very quick though. ;)

Oopsy. Can't even read. I'll fix it. Sorry.
No prob, but it would have been a bother if it took too long to catch.

So Ric, who does the little sock puppet head in your avatar represent?
LOL, you are so entertaining!
Based on your join date, I would think no, but you sure act like one.

I think some people need to learn how to pick up on facetious sarcasm.
LOL, no kidding! I'm beginning to suspect he's a sock!
You have no idea ......................
Wait, is that confirmation?
If you didn't pick it up at the last sentence, Jetrell, then you're either failing at sarcasm, or my attempt at humour is going waay over your head.
I meant the exact opposite of what I was saying and I made it pretty clear (I thought so anyway...I wasn't that bad, was I?).

^LOL, same!
The nice thing about this thread is that I have an excuse to bump it every day (and it's educational!). ;)

I'm glad you posted the link because there's already a discrepancy. You have my pawn at 2f, but I called 7f. Other than that we're on the same page.

Yes, that is correct, but I think Duracell knows that now. He was just saying that he was taught differently when he was growing up.

2014: I don't make this thread and decide to read a book instead...
That's what I thought, though I wasn't sure because I remembered hearing something else.
So Christmas is short for "Christ's Mass" which makes sense, because a special feast day would have a special Mass.
It isn't bad dipped in sugar, either...
It's good with cherries too. I love a good homemade cherry-rhubarb pie.
^That's weird, I've never heard that one...Christmas isn't the only "mas" as there's Michaelmas and a few others. I can't remember what the exact meaning is though.
Ah, yes, I forgot to mention the feast of the Epiphany, because in the Latin Rite of the Catholic Church it is usually celebrated on the nearest Sunday to the actual date.
Sure, I'll go first.

Since I love history, have way too much time on my hands, and have no life, I am going to post an historical event corresponding to the current date every day if I can.
I welcome discussion on the events, so if you disagree with my assertion of the importance and effects of the events, or if you just feel like making posts in my thread, go for it.
January 6:
A.D. 1494: The first Mass is celebrated in the New World, at La Isabela, Hispaniola.
Of course most, if not all, of you don’t give a hoot, so I’ll try to find one that’s more relevant…
A.D. 1893: The Great Northern Railway connects Seattle with the East Coast of the U.S.A.
I don’t care, I’m not American.
A.D. 1912: New Mexico becomes the 47th state of the U.S.A.
Again, I don’t give a [CENSORED] because I’m not American. Hmmm…I’m running out of years and I haven’t found a relevant date…
Oh, I found one:
A.D. 1929: Mother Teresa arrives in Calcutta and begins her work among the poor.
There, now we can all have a discussion about Mother Teresa and call her names and so forth.
