Do some nights just not lend themselves to copycat posts?
Some nights, every thread title begs a spoof, and other nights you can stare and stare and nothing works.

1. We had our fill of copycat threads earlier tonight
There were about 40 copycats that one thread spawned.

5. I missed them too
I had to take a friend out for her birthday...I can't believe I missed the Guttenberg posts. I don't think anyone has even mentioned his name since Police Academy 4 came out! Damn, damn, damn!

9. He will be in the remake of
The Poseidon Adventure.

Ah, it was wonderful, there were at least 55 threads. I came in at the end and just marvelled at the group creativity. :rofl:

4. Interesting question, jobycom...
I think that people who do copycat threads must have a different view on posting than I do...I would never copycat. I waited a long time to post my first thread, and I thought hard about what to write about. I bookmarked it, as I do all my own threads...

It isn't exactly serious business for me, but on the other hand, I'm not into extreme frivolity, either. I want people to respond as well; I'm not sure how well the copycat threads do.

Well, this is long enough!

:shrug: :hi:

6. Yeah, I was like that the first few years around here
Very serious, always in GD, very polite. The Lounge was the place where the frivilous people hung out, and I was NOT going to be one of them.

That was a long time ago. I don't think I've made a serious post since the 2004 "election." :-)
