QUOTE (mhoward @ Dec 2 2008, 06:13 PM)  No offense, Stu, but your description of the 'ecosystem' here makes me feel somewhat ill. I wouldn't like to participate in such a system. No offence taken  I was just speaking in general internet forum terms, not re UMSF specifically. I visit quite a few forums where the "school yard" behaviour I described is followed very closely, and yes, I find it a bit eeksome too. I thank my lucky stars every day that UMSF is, as I;ve said before, a peaceful "please leave your guns at the door" saloon in the Wild West of the internet. -------------------- |

I'm good with it. I get to be the hood who hangs out in the smoking area all day, waiting till I turn 18 so I can run off & join the Army! (Well...Air Force...

Back in the days of the big dust storm last (earth) year it was a time of nail biting stress but also utter boredom. This led to a list of emails with reworked lyrics of famous songs. Maybe these propitiatory verses touched the martian eolian gods, maybe not, but it was a way to survive the dust storm here on Earth.

The temptation to re-write the lyrics for a certain US pop singers latest creation 'Womanizer' is exceedingly high...
Rover Driver, Rover-Rover Driver You're a Rover Driver Oh, Rover Driver, oh You're a Rover Driver, baby You, you, you are You, you, you are Rover Driver, Rover Driver, Rover Driver, etc. Next time you hear it on the radio or whatever, trust me, you'll be singing along now. |

MERB Sol 833 will be forever be known as Jammerbugt (sp) ripple. They did not like my suggestion to call it the "Spears Ripple" (oops we did it again).
