When I went to a comedy club the other night - one of the guys big things was that we should all go out and kill someone to help ease the world of its problems. I just forwarded him the TSW members list, ordered by most recent date joined. Told him he had his list of 10,000 people to make a start on.

 

Funny what counts as an old timer nowadays.

Have things really changed that much? It seems to me we have a plethora of mentally-challenged, football ignorant, blowhards looking to pick a fight. :devil:

 

(I know...I'm here...right? Save it. :worthy: )

 

 

What are you sayin?

The only thing completely common to every message board that I have ever seen on the internet is the constant bitching about the good ol days. See, it's basically all Nietzsche: if you're not struggling and fighting against the upstart newbs, you're sinking into flaccid decay and corpulence and on the verge of imminent demise due to your own bloated decadence. So cheer up, old skoolers! You're fighting the good fight! :unsure::censored:
