IONTOP Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Is there any reason to why Tailgate posts don't count towards your post count? Simply because it isn't football related? Huge backstory about avatars and AHFB and Rince's Steel Cage Match... Basically the people who were posting in the stadium all the time yet never in the Tailgate got butthurt that some tailgate regulars were getting the better avatars easier because we have this thread, another basically chat thread, etc. So then the mods decided that Stadium posts would count and the less interesting, less creative **** stepchild of the site shouldn't count. We were angry, and now we bring it up in jest every now and again when a crappy thread is started in the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 If Tailgate posts counted I would have approx. 10,000 posts I have about 3,000 just in this very thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And without that, the Tailgate wouldn't exist in this form... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Agree KDawg. It was more than just the threads mentioned. Although he has a valid point, which is a part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skins_fan1982 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 After watching "The Change Up" last night, I did some google searching about those boobs. Turns out those weren't Leslie Mann's boobs at all, but all CGI trickery. The discovery ruined my whole day. ---------- Post added March-2nd-2012 at 06:54 AM ---------- Oh, and LOL @ people caring about post counts...

Dr. Do Itch Big Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I agree, I like the show as it is but if they added a lot more intellectual stuff than just the humor parts I think it would improve the show. The only issue is that the average person probably wouldn't understand the Physics/Engineering related stuff. Agreed. Plus wasn't that kind of the point of penny? To explain complex ideas in to the average dumb American. Wish they would go back to that. A lot of the jokes seem to be sexual in nature now.

But people will believe it. It's one of those fundamental and powerful dynamics that what makes the world the way it is. I had to edit this, IONTOP, cuz I misread and thought it was IHOP making the comments, so I was harder busting on him, given the context. My apologies.

IONTOP Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 And IHOP, given your past proclivities in political threads, you appearing to indict anyone over being "butthurt" about anything is pretty ****ing funny, mi amigo.

IONTOP Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Aargh... Pandora is pissing me off lately... They will play one genre for 5 songs, then another genre for another 5, rinse and repeat... I've got a collection of mainstream, lesser known artists, and completely unique bands like Bad Religion, Dropkick Murphys, Nas and Damageplan So I'll listen, like right now, and get a bunch of overplayed mainstream songs because I liked the Killers, the songs that have played since I've logged in? Seether ft Amy Lee - Broken Godsmack - Speak Three Days Grace - I hate everything about you Five Finger Death Punch - Bad Company Finally a reprieve as I'm typing this: Offspring - Nitro I once had 5 songs in a row that all had Celtic background and the only band I liked out of that genre was Dropkick Murphys... Wow they go from Offspring to Green Day... Is it not possible to go from Dropkick Murphys to Wale or Faith No More? Offspring Green Day RHCP - Under the Bridge Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 There was a thread on whether MLS was exciting or not. If it doesn't have Ian Darke commentating, how can it be exciting? ---------- Post added March-3rd-2012 at 09:03 AM ---------- hvkjP6dqpfY&feature=player_embedded You all can play the game I'm too much of a wimp to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teller Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 So I traded my 06 Altima on an 04 Wrangler Sahara Wednesday. I absolutely LOVE it!! And I love the fact that it books for $13k and I got it for $9k. Can't wait to get it out in the back country somewhere. This morning's trip to work included "fording" the drainage ditch in front of the house. Why? Because I could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither is Nascar, or Pro Bass Fishing, both (okay, maybe one, but I couldn't resist the other, it just fits you really well) of which happen to be your two most favorite sports. For the first time in awhile, my main goal for today, is to just sit around, eat as much as I can, and not do a goddamn thing, while catching some high quality programming, or Netflix. I deserve it.

I've only had 4 Mustangs, 3 Ford trucks, and my first-ever new car.....a 1991 Ford Festiva. I think I can safely say I'm a Ford fan. ---------- Post added March-3rd-2012 at 04:21 PM ---------- For the first time in awhile, my main goal for today, is to just sit around, eat as much as I can, and not do a goddamn thing, while catching some high quality programming, or Netflix.

Uh, not a fan of fishing at all, dude. Nice stereotype there. And obviously a lot of folks disagree with you about the never exciting part. Check the ratings for the 500.

Feels good for a change. Hell yes. Before, not doing **** (for me) was nothing. After how hard I've been working for these last 3-4 months, I almost feel like I need a crash course on how to live a sedentary lifestyle, so I can maximize it to the fullest of it's potential. January-February really kicked my ass. I have the rest of today-Monday off. Feels good indeed. ---------- Post added March-3rd-2012 at 04:47 PM ---------- Uh, not a fan of fishing at all, dude.

I guess it's somewhat understandable since my appearances 'round these parts have become sporadic at best, but come on Bubbles, you had to know that one was coming. :cheers: And for some weird reason, it seems to only be us lazy, fat, egotistical, soulless, greedy Americans who have never found football/soccer to be exciting, at least that's the way all the other countries make us feel. I like it though, but I'm not a diehard fan. *Edit, wait, what the hell just happened, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
