2. From Time To Time
I find a week long break every now and then is good, but I always come back sooner or later. I'd just hate to think I missed out on something important or interesting.

11. I sometimes get angry when the forums move to slowly for me.
"I want to post NOW dammit, so where is everybody?"
But then I remember what GD was like during the elections, when a post would drop off page one in about 30 seconds, and thats worse.
:rofl:

14. Fine. You are not a real New Englander.
Living in Florida has tainted you. You probably have forgotten what maple syrup tastes like.
Hell, even when you lived up here you probably asked for 'Aunt Jemima'.

Especially if it says "LL Bean Eddie Bauer edition"

39. Most of us are connoisseurs of boredom and irritation....
....and we enjoy the company of other connoisseurs of boredom and irritation.

I've been here 5 years now. Mostly I just read and watch. Sometimes I jump in and take a spin on the merry-go-round.

Really, there are just a handful of dreadful discussions that we keep having over and over. We never get anywhere because you can't reason with people who don't "do" reason. At first we think if we keep it up we'll wear them down and they'll just go away. After a while we come to realize that "they" intend to wear "us" down....and they're better at it.

So why do we keep beating our heads against the wall? Maybe we like the way it makes us look. Maybe we think "if I keep beating my head against this wall I'll eventually get a really neat big round flat spot on my forehead......then maybe the cool chicks/guys will start to notice me".

I could go on but I'm getting bored and irritated.....

53. Thanks! That's "exactely" why I come here everyday.
Who's Lukas anyway? Someone from the tee-vee? I haven't watched tee-vee since 1975. I guess I miss out on a lot of really high quality boring and irritating stuff by not watching tee-vee.

I MORE THAN MAKE UP FOR IT by coming to DU. Thanks for doing your part. ;-)
