No. The funny thing is, I have never been inside of a Safeway in my life.

When I was but a young lad, I was prompted to create a username for AOL 1.0. I looked around and saw a Safeway-Select cola sitting on the table and bam, instant username. I dropped the Select some time ago.

You lucked out. You could be going by "Preparation-H".

But then, I could drop an H-Bomb on your ass ... in an eerily soothing way.

you go to the last page and hit end? hmmph, at least i read the threads before my useless contributions.

I do this when I have been active in a thread since the beginning or to see if I need to reply to a quote of my post. Much faster that way.
you posting from home or work?

Right now? Work. I post from work, class, and home. The transitions are seamless. I even post from my iPhone while shopping with my girlfriend. ;)
i think a few thousand of mine are from home. ATOT is a work forum for me pretty much. TFNN used to be accessible but now it is blocked.

A blessing in disguise.

I have mine set for the maximum number of threads/posts, and find it annoying that it dropped in half.

Came back in here and just finished fully reviewing your completely worthless waste of time you call thread.

I approve. You and I should join forces together and nef. We would be unstoppable.

I'm sorry, but a parallel between PAB and I cannot be drawn. PAB was a habitual liar, bullshitter, and all around nuisance. His stock picks always quadrupled in 13 minutes, flat. His problem posts were about having too much money, too much free time, or too many vacations to go on.

Thanks, but no thanks.

Logically I can't rebuke any of what you just said, so I concede on all points.

I'm just in a bad mood today is all.

An honorable defeat. Hope your day improves.

At least I didn't get called a beloved patriot.

I am actually enrolled in ATOT 498M. Funny, I don't see you on the roster.

Edit: Oh, there you are. ATOT Newb-Skool 101.

That's what mine has been since we could set it at that. :thumbsup:

You and I should be friends mugs, we seem to have a lot in common. :shiftyeyes;
