    Default Off topic thread

    Well, here we have a thread without a topic.

    As a result, all your posts in here will be off topic.

    After all, this is the off topic forum, isn't it?

    It always amazed me there wasn't an "off topic" thread in in this "off topic" forum, a thread where all the posts are, well, "off topic".

    Isn't it appropriate for on off topic forum to have a thread where you can post no matter what and it will always be "off topic"?

    I think the answer is yes!

    But I'm repeating myself.

    Well, at least I stay off topic.

    Hmmmmmm an of topic as a topic is kind of a contradictio in terminus(worldcup scrabble here I come). If I knew what it meant of course, I have had latin but I was a terrible kid, when my teacher said she wanted to speak with me after the lesson I told her she should shave her legs first, and that is where my career in latin ended, pity.

    If this is an off topic thread then your post isn't off topic because it's talking about off topic threads.

    So, to have a real off topic thread, we should have a "no topic" or better a nameless thread.

    Only not posting would be on topic and thus every post would be off topic.

    Hm, interesting. Shouldn't we start a commission over this, funded by the European Community?

    1.500.000 € a year would be sufficient, I think.

    I like off topic threads as I rarely stay on topic and just happily babble away. At times it's like having a conversations in here...in slow motion. Rather pleasent, I must say. Carry on, Off-Topicians!

    how can you be off topic in an off topic thread though? the only way to be off topic would be to be on-topic, which, because the thread is off-topic would in turn be off-topic?

    Our spider is gone. It was the large garden spider whose picture I posted in the Gallery III thread. She had grown quite a bit fatter since I had taken that picture. Just yesterday my wife and I decided to name her Charlotte. Alas, today I checked on her and she wasn't in her web...and I had wanted to take her picture one last time before lays her eggs and dies.

    Live for today my friends, for tomorrow your spider may be gone.

    I like stretching paper clips and then bending them together to form a long chain. It kinda hurts my fingers though.

    RTW, 167 BC: Rome expels Greek philosophers after the Lex Fannia law is passed. This bans the effete and nasty Greek practice of 'philosophy' in favour of more manly, properly Roman pursuits that don't involve quite so much thinking.

    I gave my thumb a solid whack with a hammer earlier this evening. It's big, red and throbbing now.

    Also, those rowing training sessions are fun.

    And then my grandmother said: "he must really like pie" and since then I get extra pie everytime I go visit her. Ah....pie.

    Never understould what people find so attractive about rowing, unless you're the guy in the back of the boat yelling at the rest
