Ultimate thread closing

[Beirut]

Well, part of the reason for my question was that I don't want to see the Kingdom of Peace and Love without much content.

Neither do I. But it's up to the members to keep it interesting. Granted, a locked thread here and there may interrupt the content, but it also has to be mentioned that some of the content posted is the intellectual equivalent of cold Kraft Dinner.

The forum is open to such topics as literature, music, movies, games, sports, astronomy, science, personal history and experiences, women!, beer, whiskey, flashlights ,more beer, food, cars, motorcycles, TV shows, art, travel, pets, the weather, and a million other subjects not involving politics or religion.

Yet day after day threads are posted with titles like "What's your favorite thread closing post" or "Which Org. member would you like to beat up?" or "What's your favorite soup spoon... RIGHT NOW!!! YES, RIGHT NOW!!!!!"

I mean, c'mon...

It isn't the staff who make or keep this place interesting - it's the members.

You spelt whisky wrong

I agree with most people here, the humour that is fine in everyday life is easily misconstrued for the simple reason that you can't hear or see the person making the joke. A smilie isn't the same as making a joke with a smile.

You spelt whisky wrong

Um... no, you did... I think...

Edit: checked the OED and it can be spelled either way. In general, it is spelled Whisky in Scotland, England and Wales, and Whiskey in Ireland and the US. It can also be spelled whiskie or whiskiee.

Yeah, he's a Scot. He meant, there's scotch whisky , then there is other dubious brown fluids which in no way compare to the ambrosial nectar of his native land, despite calling themselves whiskey.

He's basically right, too.

Funny. I always spell it whisky.

T'was just a typo.

Ahem... Irish whiskey? Bushmills, etc?

(I think it's better than scotch...)
