  1. “Here are a few things that could get you GOTD. Tell people you bought a pink or purple shirt. Discuss men’s hose. Discuss desserts you have made. True, Lech, showtunes will get you close. Start talking about Liza Minelli, Barbara Striesand, Lady Gaga.”

    I fail.

  2. BTW, totally great weekend for Obama. I think he is kinda the man after this weekend.

    First, the total roast of Trump and others at the dinner on Friday and then his speech yesterday. I was started to think that he pretty much had no balls but yesterday he showed that he was hiding massive ones and was ready to pull ’em out at calculated times. Good job all around.

  3. Benson, you may never have won GOTD award but you have won Quote of the DAy. AND…facilitated QOTD for others.

    What ever happened to that venerable brownstoner feature?

  4. BBS: bulletin board system, essentially the precursor to something like the forum in organization, though much more like the open thread in content. Usually hosted on a PC in someone’s house, with people dialing up to a dedicated phone number with their modems and connecting one a time (depending on the number of lines they had) using passwords/usernames. Existed widely prior to the mass popularity of the internet. Run by sysops (system operators) who were almost exclusively male and geeky.

    And with that, the urchins and I are off to run some errands and hit the park. Let me know if obama makes any announcements about *rob*.
