I thought this might be interesting: I managed to dig up the first Open Thread we ever had, from December 15, 2008. I obviously have WAY too much time on my hands and no life. While it only registered 177 posts and was pretty lame (some things never change) parts of it were notable, including the following:
1) Mr. B's introduction to the Open Thread (what was that about keeping it PG-13 and polite?):
"You asked for it, you got it. Here's your open thread for the day, where you are welcome to talk about anything you want. Let's still try to keep it PG-13 and as polite as possible. This should be interesting!"
2) At 1:10pm, Biff becomes the first one to ever mention usual suspects in the Open Thread!
3) At 1:13pm, DIBS was quite prescient with his comment, "We know which post will be the longest day in and day out now."
4) Even The What was downright giddy about the OT, "...This has been the most civil day ever on Brownstoner. I can't believe it!...Please will someone call me a Asshat..Later Guys.."
5) Cats were not mentioned once!
First Open Thread

And yet you still can't find the thread with the pic of the hot latin guy on the backhoe. :(
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at September 22, 2009 9:17 AM
DIBS, no, but I did find the semi-clad contortionist typist and original Dyker Heights mansion threads!
Posted by: Biff Champion at September 22, 2009 9:19 AM
Make that Dyker Heights "mansion".
Posted by: Biff Champion at September 22, 2009 9:19 AM
That was pre-OT, no DIBS?
Posted by: cobblehiller at September 22, 2009 9:20 AM
By the way, the Open Thread was the result of another thread earlier in the day, "A Thought on Comments"
According to wasder at 10:40am, Rob was the one who first raised the idea of the Open Thread. Although if z hadn't brought it up just before wasder, it might not have happened.
"That is a really good idea Mr B, the open thread that folks can congregate in. Rob suggested it a few weeks back and z has correctly raised it here."
Someone remarked, "The problem is the incessant trading of juvenile quips between the same group of three or four posters". To whom on earth could he or she have been referring???

Yes, cobble, I believe so.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at September 22, 2009 9:23 AM
Losers.
man, it's been a long time since the usual suspect posted a loser post
Posted by: more4less at September 22, 2009 9:25 AM
The threads were a lot better before being infiltrated by the "Yellow Plague."
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at September 22, 2009 9:30 AM
Biff, since you got some time on your hands could you research what happened to my youth and where it went? If you find it please apologize for me and tell it I'll cut down on the gin.
Posted by: DeLepp at September 22, 2009 9:30 AM
Biffy, can I have the link to contortionist thread? This is before my time and I couldn't find it and want to see what the whole fuss was/is about.
Posted by: Kensingtonian at September 22, 2009 9:32 AM
DeLepp, I've got a few more years on you and have consumed far more alcohol, I suspect. I do not resent the loss of my youth. You sound like Norma Desmond. :)

blame rests with you - for not being careful enough on your little adventures. look what you brought back into the fold
Posted by: more4less at September 22, 2009 9:34 AM
I think the contortionist thread was really the first time it got very, very snarky. Mr. B figured he was on to something as the posting count went through the roof.
I'd like to see who was on there and who we have lost from that day.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at September 22, 2009 9:34 AM
"Biff, since you got some time on your hands could you research what happened to my youth and where it went?"
DeLepp, did you try the Lost & Found?
DIBS, did you try the Tossed & Bound?
Posted by: Biff Champion at September 22, 2009 9:36 AM
dibs, my closeups wouldn't compare to Norma's as I always look like I've just gotten out of a bar brawl. I threw my back out packing this weekend and currently I'm stooped. BTW, there are a lot of bad footwear out there.
Posted by: DeLepp at September 22, 2009 9:38 AM
I also have the link to the Brighton Beach Bikini Thread and the New York's Dirtiest Restaurants (Roach Thread) - Snappy will loooooove that last one.
Posted by: Biff Champion at September 22, 2009 9:38 AM
Biffy - Your research is great! I'm so glad you live a dull existence...
Anyone know what happened w/ Rob's dog?
Posted by: Arkady at September 22, 2009 9:39 AM
Biff, if you ever come across a thread where there's a pic of a hot latina with a tight silver or yellow short and thread about brighton beach, send that URL to Kens
Posted by: more4less at September 22, 2009 9:39 AM
Cobble...check your email!
Mornin' everyone...It's new podiatrist day...pray that I'm off the cane soon :-) **xxx fingers crossed**
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at September 22, 2009 9:40 AM
Oh, yes, Rob! Did the washcloth thing work? How is the pooch this morning?
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at September 22, 2009 9:41 AM
DeLepp, you prolly left your youth along with CGar in one of those gowanus or east village clubs in the 80s. Maybe you can try searching for it there.
Biff, please post links to all of them. I wanna see. Don't make me start wining. It can be pretty annoying in my Russian Brooklynese accent.
Posted by: Kensingtonian at September 22, 2009 9:41 AM
Is it more difficult to get off the cane or off the pole?
Posted by: Biff Champion at September 22, 2009 9:41 AM
Biff, neither...it's harder to get off the pipe. Ask Dave about that one :-)
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at September 22, 2009 9:43 AM
Biff, while you're researching for DeLepp's youth, can you find me a youth.
Oh, and thanks for memory lane. It was great reading back then between the 3 and 4 usual suspects that got all this craziness started.
Pioneers of the OT - Honorable mention at the awards ceremony. Without them, none of this would be possible.

Oh, and CobbleSnaps Productions have narrowed the field of categories for awards. They will be posted shortly along with the voting instructions. I can tell you all are on the edge of your seats :o)
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at September 22, 2009 9:45 AM
Couger, if you can't find your own yoots, then you're really not that good of a Couger. If you ain't got the looks, you better have the money.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at September 22, 2009 9:46 AM
Kens, I don't want to overload people and confirm to them that I'm even more pathetic than they first thought. How about I post one notable throwback thread a day? The TTOTD - Throwback Thread of the Day. I have around 5 of them.
Posted by: Biff Champion at September 22, 2009 9:47 AM
thanks Cgar and Snappy for the pet advice and support last night. I left work early to see if i could bring duke in as a walk in but they were too busy and i got an appointment for today but i realized last night i still had eye drops from his last visit left so im using them and rescheduled the appt for thursday at 730. (honestly i dont think work believes me about pet problems) so i needed to do it not during the day.
anyway leaving work yesterday.
1.) on the train. a group of kids pretending to do a stick-up on the train. :-/ at first i was like okay this is SOOOOO fake then i was like ugh what if it's real and i refused to look up from my book. then a whole giant group of girls started laughing hard. clearly it was fake but i wanted to be like... dont do that kind of thing, youd be in SO much trouble if their was an undercover cop on the train or something. grrr kids! i told you nyc school kids are the spawn of satan!!!
and 2.) coming out of the 4th ave and union street stop im walking and what do i see on top of a trash can? a giant pony head! on top of a toy box. i walked passed and then i was like ugh i want that pony head (im talking creeeeeepy like my little pony but scraggly pony hair and there was even a dead spider in the hair!) i stuck it in my bag and brought it home. the thing is fugly, i might throw it out. but it could be used in a fun art project. i didnt take the toybox and now im mad i didnt look IN the toybox. it was embarrassing just putting the pony head in my bag with so many people walking around.
i shook it out and inspected for bed bugs and stuff btw. the dead spider in the hair seemed like it was totally glued in. creeeeeepy. i think im going to bring it to the next plusa meetup!

Cobble, where are you in that thread?

Rob,
you are never going to declutter your life at this rate.
Posted by: the chicken at September 22, 2009 9:54 AM
rob, don't ever think twice about free head.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at September 22, 2009 9:55 AM
Rob - Did you talk to the vet? I thought Snappy's idea was a good one - esp. if the dog is miserable about his condition since it may take a while for the anti-bs to kick in.
Posted by: Arkady at September 22, 2009 9:58 AM
ROFL
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at September 22, 2009 9:58 AM
Good luck today, Snaps!
Posted by: Arkady at September 22, 2009 10:00 AM
Biff, go for it. Post one a day starting with contortionist thread today.
Posted by: Kensingtonian at September 22, 2009 10:01 AM
yes! see!! i got the idea of the Open Thread (tho i wish it was called OFF TOPIC) but OT is OT so whatever, from another board, Survivor Sucks. my favorite website on the planet 'cept im perma-banned from there. but there's a whole gaggle of housefrau across the country that like to send me care packages filled with hello kitty paraphernalia, ramen and mac and cheese, their adult kids video games, and random trinkets they find from across the USA. god bless bored housewives :)
*rob*
Posted by: Butterfly at September 22, 2009 10:02 AM
Snappy, you don't remember me saying you cant catch me right? if you do, I think your memory a little off. It was probably "catch me at the next gathering and I'll buy you a drink"
Posted by: more4less at September 22, 2009 10:04 AM
"Cobble, where are you in that thread?"
You mean 'who' was I in that thread! I was posting under a different name...and I had quite 'the attitude'! Can you guess?
Posted by: cobblehiller at September 22, 2009 10:07 AM
Rob, post that link again of them discussing you on survivor sucks. It's pretty slow at workshop today and I can use some fun reading.
Posted by: Kensingtonian at September 22, 2009 10:08 AM
Dave, I see you have the money!
Posted by: Couger at September 22, 2009 10:09 AM
Cobble...I'm about to post the categories...check your email for the post draft.

Thanks Arkady! Let's hope :-)
M4L, you schmooze!!! LOL
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at September 22, 2009 10:11 AM
Ok, Snaps, I'm on it now.
Posted by: cobblehiller at September 22, 2009 10:12 AM
Kens, I don't want to disrupt CobbleSnaps Productions, LLP as they are about to post categories for the PLUSA awards. I promise to post it tomorrow.
Posted by: Biff Champion at September 22, 2009 10:12 AM
PLUSA Awards are overrated.

"PLUSA Awards are overrated."
Snaps, we need a new category...Most Aggravating Poster. ; )
Posted by: cobblehiller at September 22, 2009 10:17 AM
Now that I'm back to being really busy and pulling late nights at work I sort of wish the OT were more than just a 9 to 5 type thing. Everyone disappears at 5 and then it's just crickets for the rest of the night.

lechacal, the HOTD went well into the morning. If the main thing in your life these days is the OT, i think you better get some counseling.
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at September 22, 2009 10:19 AM
Lechacal, please refer to the chapter in the PLUSA Policies & Procedures that you must try your hardest to find a position / career that will allow you the maximum amount of time to post in the OT while still allowing you to enjoy the lifestyle to which you're grown accustomed?
Posted by: Biff Champion at September 22, 2009 10:20 AM
Can I vote different people for 3 and 15?

Oopsadaisy - a dulicate! NO! One vote! [Sorry Snaps, I missed that!]

Good catch, lechacal. The process is already flawed. Who would have thunk it???
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at September 22, 2009 10:24 AM
WHOOOPS! Ok...choose either #3 or #15 to reply to in your votes :-) (see...this goes back to that thread about lawyers making mistakes in drafting things! I'm a mere PLUSA, made of flesh and blood, prone to mistakes like the rest of you...sob!)
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at September 22, 2009 10:24 AM
"The process is already flawed."
Well, at least it's not heavily skewed, as any Awards program you put on would be, DIBS!
Posted by: cobblehiller at September 22, 2009 10:25 AM
Further to the discussion the other day, just change one of the categories to Master Debater. Speaking of which, where the Sam Hill is the category for Most Cunning Linguist?
Posted by: Biff Champion at September 22, 2009 10:27 AM
"Oopsadaisy - a dulicate!"
I am saying "dulicate" out loud like I'm a scotsman saying "delicate". Like "you're a real dulicate li'le thing aren't ya, ya wee pansy?"
Sorry cobble couldn't resist.
Posted by: lechacal at September 22, 2009 10:27 AM
Allright...I gotta bounce now. Be back later. Get to voting folks! AND DO NOT ANNOUNCE WHO YOU ARE VOTING FOR DAMMIT!
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at September 22, 2009 10:27 AM
Everybody's a critic of course - thanks to both of you for doing the work to put this together. It should be fun.
Posted by: lechacal at September 22, 2009 10:28 AM
hey wait a minute when did it become cougEr and not cougAr? attempting to win "worst speller" perchance? or maybe you're going for most mercurial? :)

Raise your hand if you have looked up the definition of mercurial in the past 24 hours. Be honest.

Here's a replacement for the duplicate category: most roundly ignored!

Couger doy you have a freakum dress???
Posted by: daveinbedstuy at September 22, 2009 10:34 AM
I'll bite, cobble. I actually find your tone in two posters who argued with each other -- stoner and yente. I think you are probably one of these, more likely yente.
I noticed at least one other PLUSA in the thread under a previous nom de guerre, and it seems like several PLUSAs were still anonymous, but must be there. I remember reading the thread, if I posted it was probably anonymously. I don't think I had donned my overalls yet.
On the categories, #23 should have a runaway winner.
Jackal, a debate needs two sides, hence the two categories. You may get my vote for one of those categories, but certainly not the other.
## 4 & 16 allow us to love and and hate on the Slope at teh same time.
#21 should be handled by numerical tally (where's randi?).
One serious question -- what is the time frame? Are tehse all time awards? Apply only to current PLUSAs? Passt year? Will this be the annual thing? Is the what having his own award ceremony or is he eligible here?
Posted by: slopefarm at September 22, 2009 10:34 AM
Snappy, check your numbers. You have 2 repeats.
Posted by: Kensingtonian at September 22, 2009 10:35 AM

Slopey,
Nope, I'm not yente or stoner. But nice try!
NO announcing your votes!! This is a secret ballot - except to me & Snappy.
Thanks kens, got it.
Any time frame is fine. NO, not just PLUSAs, ANY poster can be nominated!
It might be annual, if it turns out to be really fun!
What is eligible, I hope he will attend the party, too!
Posted by: cobblehiller at September 22, 2009 10:39 AM
"21. Most Pathetic Loser Usual Suspect Asshat"
Not to campaign for myself, but the fact that I've already completed my ballot, combined with my posting the original Open Thread link today and going back yesterday and finding other past notable threads must count for something DAMMIT!
Posted by: Biff Champion at September 22, 2009 10:40 AM
did you read that BJ's in coming to Bensonhurst. If
they had BJ's in BkHts maybe Biff wouldn't need that new vacuum.
Posted by: Petebklyn at September 22, 2009 10:40 AM
"Can we vote nore than once under our various login names????"
We strongly suggest that people NOT vote under more than one login. Snappy and I will be watching this closely.
Posted by: cobblehiller at September 22, 2009 10:41 AM
"What is eligible, I hope he will attend the party, too!"
I sure hope so, I just voted for him for #23!
Ok, no more announcing my votes. Thanks CobbleSnaps! This is fun.

If we had a category for "Biggest Loser," people gunning for that award could log in after they got home and post into the wee hours.

No BJ's in Brooklyn Heights. Men are too old.

In fact, one of our goals with this CobbleSnaps Production is to ENCOURAGE non-PLUSAs to join us. We want this to be INCLUSIVE. Because, we are not elitest! ; )

omg i wanted to bring this up yesterday but didnt have a chance... about dishwashers.
okay, ive used them and have not used them and i find not using them much easier. dish washers are seriously annoying and seem like 10x the amount of work it would be to just wash dishes manually. do they save water or something? do people just use them after a dinner party because it's easier? i find dish washers nothing more than places people seem to hoard their dirty dishes which is disgusting. when i lived in harlem i used to open the dishwasher and hundreds or roaches would be running around. GROSS! i refused to even touch the thing. it smelled really bad too and had nasty gunk on the sides that looked toxic. i never really cooked in that apt tho because of that. where i live now the dishwasher serves no function. might as well keep books or shoes in it!
so someone needs to tell me why dishwashers are a good thing.

Bay Ridge NIMBYs Fight Karaoke —Speaking of nightlife venues meeting community resistance, a proposed Bay Ridge karaoke bar has been approved by Brooklyn's Community Board 10 six months after the same board denied the application. The initial fears? "The board originally sided against the venue when neighbors expressed concerns that the karaoke bar's private booths would function as a brothel." If that's the way karaoke bars typically operate in Bay Ride, consider us future Bay Ridgers

Greene and the City?
I don't think they would necessarily think this area was so hot...I guess all new series being shoot in this area have to be "sanitized", amorphous Brownstone Brooklyn. Hhh...
It's rather mysterious. There is no film crew, no photo team, nothing. But a bunch of these vehicles...I wonder if they're using it as a mobile meeting space. Maybe they simply saw the whole block open with no parked cars after the street cleaning was finished and decided to just plunk down and hang out. Strange though. It does seem a planned meeting had been set up what with the starlet ushering, handshaking, formality to it all.
Whatever. This lady's on a sick day so I have nothing better to do than stare out at the street.

Re: Dishwashers vs. Handwashing
It's much more energy efficient than handwashing provided you only run it once it's full.
Average faucet uses 2 gallons of water per minute. Average dishwasher 4 gallons per cycle. You also have to factor in heating the water.

Oh, TownhouseLady, actually, dishes can be washed with much less water than 4 gallons. You can get away with much less but you have to do the dishes the old fashioned way: scrub them without a lot of water, but with suds of course, rinse by dipping in a wash basin and then towel drying...sends me back to my 'I'll wash.

There is one funny kid out there. He's wearing one of those very long white T-shirts over his jeans. Looks rather like a nightgown.
But mostly the people are staying on that locations RV thing. I wonder what they could be up to. H'mmm...an off-off-off-site meeting? An illicit poker game midday?

It is actually against playground rules in NYC to be in a playground without a child. It's kinda their anti-pedophile thing.
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at September 22, 2009 1:54 PM
As a straight Navy veteran I can tell you I was very disappointed with the enlisted Navy uniforms and quite jealous of the Navy officers and of the Marines. My uniforms consisted of:
- Dress Whites - Bell bottomy white pants, white t-shirt, white long-sleeved shirt thing with the flap on the back, black neckerchief, dixie cap
- Dress Blues - kind of like dress whites but deep navy blue
- dungarees - blue bell bottom pants, blue shirt, white dixie cap
...all of which are (1) ridiculously gay and (2) not exactly chick magnets. Woe was me.

rob, happened to my friend who was walking through Cnetral Park and decided it'd be a good idea to run through the sprinkler (he'd just finished jogging). Immediately he was told to leave. The cop indicated that it was for the safety of the children that adults without children in tow could not be in the playground area.
Makes a lot of sense when you think about it. At the time when you're being eyed as a potential predator it probably doesn't feel so good though.
Posted by: TownhouseLady at September 22, 2009 1:56 PM

LOL THL, i didnt realize they enforce that craziness. when i lived in harlem i used to go to the sprinkers all the time when it was hot, never was told not to! the funny thing is when girl fights would break out, which happened a LOT. hahaha so perhaps i can see why they have these rules!? i must say tho there is nothing more entertaining then watching two teenage girls rip each others hair out of their heads lol.

Rob,
We had a girlfight on our block in the middle of the night last week.
A few neighbors found hair tracks on the sidewalk and in their front yards. I actually had to unwind one from my iron fence out front. It was woven all around the flaking paint.
So gross.

Anytime I see a guy staring at my feet on the train I test him by 'dangling' (Cross your legs hang your shoe off your toe and bouncing your leg so it swings a bit) if he shifts uncomfortably bingo! If not he was just staring at the ground.
I'm kinda evil that way. I love to bust them.

Brighton, how did you like the "mirror mirror on the wall" episode of Tool Academy? Fakest acting I have ever seen!
Posted by: Kensingtonian at September 22, 2009 3:01 PM
Oh, Bitter...that show is a delicious array of hot ghetto messes mixed with alcohol, promiscuity and idiocy. In other words, a hit! They basically get 6-7 self identified "bad girls" (defined by bad attitudes, skankiness, alcoholism, etc.) and put them in a house "Real World" style and let the fights and ho-dom break out.
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at September 22, 2009 3:02 PM
Snappy, I know what you mean. My DVR wouldn't even LET me record this season. It has better taste in TV than I do.
Loved, loved, loved Laguna Beach. Even liked The City, even though it really sucked!

Sears had a brand called: The Winner II

Re Writer, [Oh, sorry, I thought you were someone else!]
Welcome!! Your PLUSA manual, tiara, and membership card are in the mail.
Please be advised that upon attending your first PLUSA gathering, you will be expected to buy the first round of shots. Identification of one or more PLUSAs will earn you extra credit.
Please send Snappy your membership dues by the 15th of the month, she gets cranky if you're late, and we stop sending the newsletter after two late payments.
Also, please advise your boss that s/he needs to lighten your workload so that you can keep up with posting regularly. Spotty posting is frowned upon!!
Best, Mgmt.

herkimer- isn't it odd that the two people running the awards ceremony get 500? Hmmm.....
Oh and cobble- am I designing this award? I have the logo all ready :-)
Posted by: bxgrl at September 22, 2009 4:36 PM
The ceremony will take place on Oct. 15 at 6:30pm at Union Hall in Park Slope. If you desire valet parking, feel free to hand over your keys to anyone wearing a red jacket. Please note however, that the red jacket wearers are not PLUSAs and you will not get your vehicle/skateboard/scooter/wheelies back at the end of the evening :-)
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at September 22, 2009 4:37 PM

Posted by: Re Writer at September 22, 2009 4:42 PM
This surprises me. It looks like Ratner is landing $700 mio from Russia.
"Prokhorov's proposals, sent to existing Nets shareholders over the weekend, would see his Onexim group provide a loan to build a substantial part of a new arena, according to a post on his Web site.
Onexim would also receive a controlling stake of the NBA team for a "symbolic" price, the post said. Sources close to the billionaire have previously estimated the overall value of any deal at $700 million."
Think this changes the discussion about AY?
Posted by: antidope at September 22, 2009 4:44 PM
Cobble, have you ever thought of creating another log-in? "Mgmt"
It would be very fitting.
Posted by: Re Writer at September 22, 2009 4:45 PM
Ya know...everytime I refresh this page and see the surrounding threads to the OT - specifically the "BJ's for Bensonhurst" I keep thinking to myself, 'who cares if the folks in Bensonhurst get blowjobs??? :o)
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at September 22, 2009 4:45 PM
snappy, I think I've been in this for longer than 6 mins! Unless... I've completely lost it and today is the first time I've ever posted here... the way things have been going that is entirely plausible.
and YES Bxgrl, it's VERY ODD that the same people keep winning the 500th post! This is rigged. Losers!
DIBS I think of it as Herki-mermaid but, like my real name, people kind of interpret freely... :)
until tomorrow PLUSAS!
Posted by: herkimermaid at September 22, 2009 4:45 PM
I think I still have my valet jacket in the back of the closet from my college days. I should wear it to the PLUSA awards. Note, if someone hands me over their keys, their car will be taken for a joy ride and might have a few parts missing when I return it back, given that I decide to return it back. If you drive a stick, this will be a perfect way for a PLUSA manual shift refresher course, with myself as the sole teacher. After a minimum of 3 vodka cranberries, I'll be curious to what extent the speedometer on your car goes....

No, no, no, Herk. Your blogicide was 6 minutes!
Posted by: cobblehiller at September 22, 2009 4:48 PM
no. last week was a rumor floated by the needy (ratner). this is confirmation from the rather less needy (buyer), who is cash rich and ready to make a $700 mio loan to get the stadium built. i don't know but to me that seems substantially stronger. esp when the buyer has been dangled in front of other sports teams previously.

You mean the awards will not be cast in bronze and polished on an elegant black marble base? No engraved name plate? :-(

Any other ideas I have, I'll blurt them out.
just make sure the award statue is wearing a tiara and on its can the word 'PWN'
You really should do a tribute to the What, since it is because of him, that gathering a year ago happened.
Maybe announce some of the favorite 'Whatisms' (phrases uttered by the what).

What events are planned. I knwo Kanye is not ivited but surely the Prez can make a speech and we can have a little film of PLUSAs Greatest Moments (yeah- it'll be a short).
Posted by: bxgrl at September 22, 2009 5:31 PM
Cobble, that would turn out to be "HEY YOU BLEEEEP! HOW THE BLEEEEP ARE YOU BLEEEEPS DOIN? WHEN'S THE LAST TIME YOU HAD A BLEEEEEEP UP YOUR BLEEEEEEP YOU BLEEEPING BLEEEEEEP!"
Posted by: InsertSnappyNameHere at September 22, 2009 5:31 PM

Snappy, great minds think alike!!
Do you want a re-writing job?
Posted by: Re Writer at September 22, 2009 5:35 PM
OK, voted.
Snappy, cobble, you are actually organizing the second annual end of the world party/first annual PLUSA awards. It's not many people who can party to celebrate the end of the world two years in a row. I think you should hold off posting the awards until after the party. Ruins the suspense/fun.
Posted by: slopefarm at September 22, 2009 5:37 PM
but cobble- we get all these bigtime rich PLUSAs to buy expensive ads. Then after all the fundraiser expenses are paid, CobbleSnaps has a huge operating fund with which to stage more events. See? It's adestructive...er...constructive cycle.
By the way- who is bringing the sound system and projection fabric backdrop for the multimedia tribute to Biff and What?
