Not from this newbie : p

mm mm....... wonders if rocks teddy has ever thought of getting a llife....

This is the stuff life is made out of.

court appearances? jail time? ........


and the mind positively boggles at the images conjured up by 12 stepping......

.... jeez, just *what* sort of board is this......


(tries to protect wallet and nether regions simultaneously..... Gawd, don't you just wish you has three hands..)

It's a board about life.

.... the Universe and everthing?

Someone made the comment "it's only a message board". It might appear to be true on the surface but it's not. It's really a community.

Like any American community, we welcome immigrants and respect their diversity....... until they fuck with what we've already got.
You've seen just a little bit of that already, but believe me it can get much worse when they(we) get rabid.
That's not a threat or even a warning but an explanation of how it works.

Undertoad holds the deed but he's quite tolerant, leaving it to the members to police themselves...... unless an individual becomes impossibly annoying.
In that case, he makes a phone call and a limo with blacked-out windows comes to your house a 3AM and your family disappears. :haha:

We even have a sub-culture in the "Internet" section. The "This is Not Porn" thread is inhabited by a group that seldom venture out on the board and when they do they seem to be nice people, they're just into their own thing.

So we'd like you to stay and contribute, but it's your call, whether you're comfortable in the community.

Yup.
Yup.

I think we've covered that. Thoroughly.

Calm down, I'm the only one here with jail time. I've posted in the past about how my second DUI led to a 30 day jail sentence, served 20 with good behavior credit. Jail was horrible, but at least I didn't hurt anyone with my car. When one corrections officer found out I had a CS PhD, he asked "what are you doing in here?" I said "Even smart people can make bad judgements."

Other inmates said I needed a street name, so I said Rock Steady, and they loved it. But, rooting for the Pistons against the Lakers in a California jail takes some toughness.

Actually, Rock Steady's not the only one. But I'm not droppin' dimes on nobody. If they wanna fess up, that's up to them.

"I work at an intense software engineering job at a high-profile yet stealth early stage company."

Perhaps you should not log in from work. Not only is it unprofessional, it steals time = money from a company who is counting on you to work, not post on a message board.

To expect people to post for your "stolen moments from work" convenience is a bit self-indulgent.

"I've posted in the past about how my second DUI led to a 30 day jail sentence, served 20 with good behavior credit. Jail was horrible, but at least I didn't hurt anyone with my car."

Second DUI!!!!!???

*has ZERO tolerance for drunks!!*
