Washington Post Disparages 9:30 Forum

Staight guys who are comfortable with their sexuality, mostly. It's the new "If I had a million dollars"…

It was after the band played a few sets, then headed down to the bar to meet up with the ladies.

And no, the missus didn't put me up to it, I think she arrived as I was halfway through my list. I did it mostly to see how many guys drinking with us would put me on their list.

a) what was your success rate?
b) (related to question a) were you wearing your white belt that night?

actually, it was the knee pads that gave him away.

Please…two dudes getting it on is NOT the worst thing that could happen. It's not like a puppy is sacrificed somewhere every time some guy goes down on another guy. Kudos to Smackie for being comfortable with himself. And besides, bi-curiuos is the new indie.

Just the mental visual of Smackie getting it on with anybody is the worst thing that could happen.
:p

Man….I remember those days. Back when Rhett was mean and Lulu & Markie were busting everybody's chops. Things change!

Well, you have a point there, good sir, however they were real snots about it, so flood them anyway. On HFStival.com we learned every problem could be solved by flooding another messageboard, hacking someone's email, or deleting someone's account.

Its noteworthy that many of those people – who didn't know each other at all outside of the messageboard – gathered together en masse probably 20 times during the existance of that board and continue to do so now.

I know a lot of people from this board – in person – who's only connection to me is this board. I'm not quite sure what the differences are that you're highlighting between HFStival.com and this board. My experience was the insanity of the back and forth flooding, started by HFS (as it was a new 'tactic' over here) for that week taht was..well, insane.

That said, after the battle, I started reading and posting over at HFStival. Didn't find it all that much more civil, but got some good info, and that's what I'm after!

I was glad you came over here, Julian, when you did.

I have never held back my devotion and love for the Foo Fighters on this board, and I've been hooked up with some sweet Pearl Jam info here.

No irony involved.

This board:

1. Is almost exclusively bands raved about on Pitchfork.

2. …or NPR.

3. However, once they appear on the cover of "Spin" most board members would prefer that they "just remain friends."

4. Certain mainstream artists (B-52's, Cher) are raved about but a.) only ironically and b.) only if a female (like miss p) likes them first. That's the signal that it's ok for sweetcell to be enthusiastic about Barry Manilow.

5. But no mook bands.

Even with the knee pads I didn't make venerable's list, which, I'm not going to lie, hurt a little bit.

I made one other guys list and he was on mine so after an awkward silence, we agreed never to talk about it again.

And of course I had the white belt on. I'm either "suit up" or sporting the white belt.

stumbled upon this chestnut of a thread… was the day some adults on the hfstival.com decided to raid bigyawn… looks like i was busy little moderator that day.

http://www.930.com/cgi-bin/ubb-cgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=006640

I was looking for that earlier today. Thanks for finding it. Loved that thread.

I was gonna bring this up too. Best day of my life, all the Board members coming to our defense.

That never happened again. :)

Probably because that was the last time BigYawn was updated. I KID!!!!

Redsock totally had me write articles for him for a year and a half after that. I thought he was a pretty standup guy for giving me a chance, you know, considering my connection, but then he revealed about a year in that he had no idea who I was and probably wouldn't have "hired" me if he had. I thought that was kinda funny, but probably deserved.

Confirmed:

The Last of the Shadow Puppets

Well, thank you! You are too kind. :)

*reverts back to Julian, good manners AFICIONADO*

This entire thread, to me, is horribly entertaining, if not for the reason that the majority of my online life has been spent on BBs.

Yes, there are some incredible music snobs on here. I don't know most of the music that gets talked about on here. But I love it. Why? because it's stuff I'd either never heard of, or probably should have been listening to, and I finally got the chance to find out about it. I know my tastes are not what the majority of the board is, but I still like it here.

And WPost posting something about an online forum - come on guys, go chase some ducks around and call it news, it's more newsworthy than here. -.-
