I tried screwing a cookie once but the relationship crumbled. Bitch had a chip on her shoulder.
I'll admit, I LOL'd!

At least someone did. I thought it was fucking hilarious myself.

I, for one, do not give out cookies in a sarcastic manner but only as a reward for outstanding posts. I believe cookies are to be earned and not handed out as they were above. It cheapens them. This isn't self esteem camp here.

Were the forums down for a few hours? Not much appears to have changed during the 6-7 hours I was asleep. Only a couple of posts here in off-topic.

ATOT is not the place it used to be. Before all the subforums, you could wake up and have 100+ new threads to read. Now its just the same old neffing.

Yep. The sub forums need to die. Well, maybe keep P&N but the rest need to go.

Seriously mods, how about it?

Who says I'm alone? Quite the opposite, actually.

Sorry to burst your little bubble because you can't see the logic behind morality and apparently don't like me because I do... but I unlike you actually have a real social life.

You character (or lack thereof) and irrational hard-on for me ever since you were exposed for a fool in the Golden Rule thread became readily apparent when you posted your sad, pathetic little personal attack post near the end of this thread:

http://forums.anandtech.com/me...=2250875&enterthread=y

So do us all a favor little boy and stop stalking my posts and making pathetic attempts to insult me, okay?

Cookies are for sarcasm. Beers are for good posts!

That just encourages alcohol abuse which leads drunk posting which leads to bad posts which leads to no cookies.

Seems like it would mean good job. But it seems to me to be more often used sarcastically than not. Haven't seen this off ATOT but then I don't post in many other forums. What's the origin of this if it is an ATOT specific thing.

:cookie:

Indeed only an idiot would post anything else as a first 2nd or 3rd response to a post like mine. I suspect the next reply will be a :cookie: too. But when you guys get tired of posting cookies would be nice for someone to answer :)

I think you actually answered it in your OP.
