TWG Hall of Fame
« on: April 20, 2004, 08:27:01 AM »
Well, inspired by SE and Sprig, I decided to start up a thread where we can compile the best moments from the message board for easy, future reference.

A couple of ground rules.  I'm going to adjudicate this one--so if you post something that I think was too harsh or offensive to another board member, I'll delete it.  Second, I'll be the final judge of what gets retained for posterity and what doesn't.  Third, you can't post a quote by you yourself, and you can't post anything that isn't an exact cut and past from another thread on the forum.

Keeping those things in mind, feel free to post!  Any time someone says something you find particularly clever and/or amusing, clip it and put it here.  You'll be doing your fellow board-members an honor, and it will be a nice way to give someone else a good 'thumbs up' for contributing to our enjoyment.

I think I'd like to be on a rollercoaster that goes nuts or something.  Then at least my last thoughts could be, "See, I KNEW there was a good reason to be afraid of heights!"

this is the best answer i got on my survey, and i totally agree, cept i'm not afraid of heights

Yes I am afraid of contact with idiots like you - you might infect me.

And as for calling me 'pure evil' thats not an insult; thats a compliment.

Note that on the issue of real-world possibility, Super Mario Bros. stands somewhere in the middle--it's almost impossible to eat a flower and shoot fireballs out your nose, but anyone can jump up and down on a turtle.

fuzzyoctopus: You're right Saint. It's both contempt and admiration.  I bet the Germans have a word for that.
Spriggan: I bet Gemm has a word for that.

That, my friends, is hilarious. And oh so true. :)

"Perhaps I'll threaten to leave the boards" - HoM

Maybe I just like it because he's threatening to threaten, not actually threatening to do something.
