I was just thinking back to when I joined RHP (november 2004, so the paint is still a bit wet).
In those more innocent days the forums were abuzz with the snide comments of Number1 and the whimpering of Mateulose(r).
At any moment, you could click of Chess, and read about how "somebody played a stupid opening move, blindsided and then mated me".
Anyone else have fond memories of the "good/bad ole days"?

The IT and Internet world is fast-paced. Our grandfathers may well have felt nostalgia for things that occurred in the '20s. I, on the other hand, feel nostalgia for my 486DX40, with 14" VGA monitor.
Nostalgia is a state of mind, not a test of time.

On that point I must disagree.

[On Twizzlers]
Pro: They're fruity fun for everyone.
Con: They have as much nutritional value as a bowl full of syphilis.
Discuss.

[On dirty secrets]
I'm glad to hear that so many people are into puke. See? Once our dirty secrets are out in the open, no one has to be ashamed anymore. Let it out, people!
Did anyone else puke in their own mouth, or the mouth of a loved one?

[On Piers Anthony]
Yeah, I used to love those books too. They were the only source of softcore pornography available in the school library.

You mean all those hot knockers, with no one to do all day?

I was going to trump everyone with one of my dirty stories.
Alas, there is no way on earth or in heaven (and presumably hell) that I can top this one!
Well done!
What was your dirty trump card, shavixmir? The queen of trollops? The jack of AIDS?

Ah, those were the days. Filth and reckless abandon. In recent months I've relegated myself to the Posers & Puzzles thread, and they have little love for wayward bodily fluids and opinions. <sigh> I pine.
