There will be almost as many posts in Geneforge 4 next month as in General. Between comments about the changes, a new Strategy General, and help requests we won't even need that many new members. Jeff was very nasty in hiding controls behind objects so people will have trouble finding them. Suggestion to replace *facepalm*, how about the *face double palm with a head shake*?

You must go hungry for a day, or two, as a fairly energetic wind storm blows past me. Oregon has had a bit of a rough go the past week, and since the power is back on for a moment I thought I would mention it. I overheard an observation today that goes something like, "back east they name anything with winds over 30 mph. Out in Oregon we just lump it all together and call it November." It's true, too. Look here for details. Posts: 143 | Registered: Sunday, October 29 2006 07:00 |

Spam is terrible. End of story. It's pure grease and salt and ickyness. And byproducts of questionable origins. Just don't do it. -------------------- You acquire an item: Radio Free Foil Posts: 1169 | Registered: Monday, September 23 2002 07:00 |

I have a feeling I asked this once before, but I think I got no good answers. What is the etymology of 'spam' in its latest meaning? (The meatish product is supposedly 'SPiced hAM'.) Internet etymologies cite the Monty Python 'spam, spam and spam' sketch, and I suppose it might well spring to mind for someone confronted with a ton of spam in their inbox. But just when and how did this get started? -------------------- We're not doing cool. We're doing pretty. Posts: 3335 | Registered: Thursday, September 4 2003 07:00 |

I don't think Magma's link words, but Wikipedia does in fact have an article explaining it, at Spam (electronic), under the heading "History." -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Zeviz, relax. I probably won't even hit 600 this month. And I'm slowing down massively next month. EDIT: And say what you want, I'm only about 30 posts ahead of Salmon. Also, I didn't create a second account just to have the pleasure of having two accounts in the top ten.

Spam and scrambled eggs is one of my favorite things for breakfast. By the way, even though I [i]tried[/i] to spam, it looks like I'll be pushed out of the top ten before the 17th. You people truly are a bunch of dirty, dirty spammers. :P [ Monday, November 13, 2006 19:21: Message edited by: Tyranicus. ] -------------------- "Tyranicus is about the only one that still posts in the Nethergate Forum." —Randomizer Spiderweb Chat Room Shadow Vale - My site, home of the Spiderweb Chat Database, BoA Scenario Database, & the A1 Quest List, among other things.

Isn't it wonderful, Tyran? And I still maintain that SPAM is disgusting. But, go ahead and try it. Don't blame me when you choke to death. -------------------- You acquire an item: Radio Free Foil Posts: 1169 | Registered: Monday, September 23 2002 07:00 |
