I've found an interesting new hobby, provided you're an older member (especially a youngun like myself):  Go through your very oldest posts and see how your personality has evolved.  Apparently I had the gayest sense of humor, because here is a quote from myself from May 26, 2005:

"Technically, I guess we are all Antarcticans, seeing as we are posting on the PENGUIN board!"

...yeeeeeep.  More as this develops...

... Must.. resist.. urge.. to say.. "set her straight"... MUST.. RESIST... TOO.. CREEPY.. AND WRONG... NOOOO!!!!

Apparently I listened exclusively to Beck for a few weeks in November 2005 (several posts in the "What Song Are You Currently Listening To" thread).  I also had no idea what "imperialist" meant.


Me:  You need to listen to "Loser".
My mom:  No...  Why would I do that?
Me:  Because...in the time of chimpanzees, he was a monkey.
My mom:  Uh-huh.
Me:  And...spray paint vegetables...he was a junkie...of...spray paint vegetables, I guess.  Or was that plastic balls...  He mentions vegetables a lot.  Like in "Guero", he mentions a vegetable man in a vegetable van.
My mom:  Maybe he's a vegetarian.
Me:  There you go!  You're a vegetarian.  You and him probably have a lot in common.
My mom:  No...he's a loser.  I'm not.  People like me don't hang out with losers like him.
Me:  ...Imperialist.
My mom:  Superialist!
Me:  I had a turkey sandwich.
My mom:  I know.  Murderer.

This is kind of sad that I'm the only person who is posting here.  It's a nostalgia site, you lazy bastards.  Reminisce.

It sounds like it's "Love Come Down" by Evelyn "Champagne" King. The line is "...you make my love come down..."

I usually don't answer those questions anymore unless I'm the first to respond.  Claybricks will give them complete and thorough information :D

'Personality'?

Impossible...

I've never had one!  ;)

Used to post music video polls, dissed '70's disco, Journey, and other favorites/least favorite threads...

Some of the threads I've regretted like how I once liked  Ashlee Simpson for a few seconds  :P

Also I once trashed Mandy Moore, but I actually respect her now.




Now mostly the board game forum and post a few threads

Claybricks sure is thorough, but even if you are the first to respond, he will still give additional information ;D

May 10, 2005  My first post.

Smiley Oh wow, that was my favorite show on MTV.  I would be a much happier human being if they would bring it back.  Didn't Collin Quinn appear on there?

I've have since lost the cute, unwilling to offend routine. ::)

I always go back through old posts here (particularly when I'm bored, and/or nobody else is on, lol), and I've habitually done that in my whole 'Net life too. I'm a little more concise in posting style now than I was earlier. And I'm less evidently Back To The Future-obsessed. More or less I'm the same.

Although, I've always tended to look on posts from, say a year ago and thought: Man, I could say that so much better today! ;)

Now, I've got some old, old-school stuff from now defunct boards saved from, like 1997 or '98 that I saved in Word files. Amazingly some of that stuff covers the very same things that are commonly discussed around here (life things, my opinions of certain bands, growing up in the '80s/early '90s, etc).

I sometimes like to go through my posting history when I get bored. I like to take trips down memory lane; it can be fun sometimes. :)

Me Too.

Yeah...I like to see what I posted last year, or two years ago.... it brings back memories. :)

From the "What If?" thread:

"OK, I got one... What if.... OK I don't have one... What if everyone had eyes on their hands and fingers on their face?"


... Ha. I was talking about this with Beth a couple of weeks ago.

I was just going through some of my older posts and found this post! lol!! ;D

Could someone find my Au Bon Pain thread,I'm too lazy to do it. ;D

here's one by me, bitching about Viacom ripping me off...  that was almost ten years ago.  I'm still irked by it.

There's a couple months missing here and there, due to crashes and some poor choices in software.  Otherwise, I save it all.  I only run ads in the archives, and they almost cover the entire hosting cost of the messageboard.  Which is kind of cool, because the regular users never have to deal with the nonsense of flashing crap all over the place.

sheesh, my older posts were downright nasty most of the time. i was mean. and looking for trouble. i'm lucky i didn't get banned.  but as i scrolled through and got a little more recent, i found this beloved thread:

I had to laugh when I read that one too. ;D For the life of me, I don't know who in the world Teddy Rumpkins is. ::)

Google-searching that name (the exact phrase, using quotation marks) only gives 19 results...he must not be very popular. :-\\

Someone responding to that thread thought he was referring to Teddy Ruxpin, a toy bear that was popular a long time ago...but maybe there was some confusion. :-\\ I would've guessed Teddy Ruxpin too...

I'm afraid that if I wanted to look at my past, I'd have to go to parodies to do that.  It has the comments on there too.  And I do say to myself, I should have just ignored that remark from her or him.

LOL it was actually just a joke... it was supposed to be Teddy Ruxpin but I was pronouncing (or spelling) it wrong on purpose so people would get confused... and then I would say that I knew I was right just to cause even more frustration

I never even thought of it as being a sexual reference.

The Teddy Rumpkins one was TOO funny! I love how serious everyone was being.."Noooooo..it's Teddy RUXPIN....not Teddy Rumpkins!!" ;D :D

heheheheh that is exactly the reaction i was looking for...  ;D

I like to go through old threads to see what topics already exist for me to add my two cents. It's basically thread recycling.

I am getting the same feeling when seeing and reading old threads as the one when I had to sort out the old PMs.

I love going through old posts myself.

Strange it less than four years now, but it all seems further back than that.

Google-searching that name (the exact phrase, using quotation marks) only gives 19 results...he must not be very popular. :-\\

Now when I google-search it with quotes, it gives 17 results. Without quotes, however, I get 508 results...the first two of which match this site!

you already said that  ::)

Going through your old posts reads like a diary, for you can read you activities, what you have eaten (or drunk) for that day or you own state-of-mind.

Very true; I even kept diaries for a few years during the mid-1990s so that I could write down my memories for the day, and go back and read them anytime. Since then, I have kept a few personal logs of my favorite memories so I can remember what I did during those days.

I remember going through my old posts of when I first started dating or when I first started Pathmark,good old times.

I went through several pages of mine... I was a little more obnoxious in the old days.

I remember I used to rip on 2002-2004 Avril Lavigne now I actually I can respect her. I still enjoy ripping on Britney Spears though!

I was a pretty big Avril fan (still am- of her first two albums), she's not a genius or anything but it was decent pop music that isn't all about drugs and hos, I actually used to have an Avril Lavigne poster in my room rofl. I remember "I'm With You" was a favorite early in 2003. Britney is a fairly embarrassing guilty pleasure though I've ripped on her at times while secretly listening to some songs lmao. In 2006-2007 I enjoyed ripping on ringtone rap, still hate that trash.

I remember your rants about Soulja Boy, Huey, and Shop Boyz back a few years ago.  I used to whine about Ringtone Rap too like DL4 I used to rip on. I still don't like Ringtone Rap either.

Avril is the A/C pop version of Sade(R&B/soul artist) basically on her slower songs.

I love "Smooth Operator" by Sade. She had a new song last year "Soldier Of Love" that was pretty good.

She also had a birthday.

posts we like to relive again. :)

Particularly in threads where we've had very lively discussions. (For me, it would have to be some of the conversations we had in the old "I Like to Move MC Hammer Pants" thread (which was terminated in late 2009). I can recall that we talked about things like the E.T. movie and the places where it was filmed, as well as other famous film locations. Some of those discussions have carried over into the current thread.)
