1. Pick any post on this forum that goes more than 8 pages.
2. Read the title.
3. Now read the last post.

How many times is the last post completely off topic?
How many times has the post devolved into a rant about a competition that Michelle Kwan lost decades ago or an event Patrick Chan won?
How many times is it about corrupt judging in an unrelated competition?

:laugh:
that Naked Lunch better not be Cronenberg-style or it's gonna get reeeally weird around here

"Naked Lunch" is the name of my favorite MAC eye shadow. Honest! :laugh:

I say let's turn this into a drinking game...and then count the resulting number of typos & off-the-wall posts.

Since this is a complaint of mine, I'm not surprised, but will say I'm glad you didn't call it a drinking game or everyone would end up with a hangover. :bang:

Hmm...and just who would we be talking about here????? :scratch: :biggrin:

Gotta give bonus points and/or +GOE to anyone (non-troll or otherwise) who manages to get the thread back on-topic, too!

Every time the abovementioned happens, we can put a penny into the jar and donate the proceeds to struggling skaters:biggrin:

You're right, skatedreamer - what was I thinking??!!!! :party2:

I LOVE that phrase "what the hey" and haven't heard it in a long time. BIG grin here!

I think there are people that just love to bring a topic to the brink of insanity - and then continue to comment on it. There are posters with favorites that will always jump in and defend even the slightest mention that isn't in glowing adoring terms. There are skaters who, just by their very name, invite criticism and judgement. I can never figure out if there's anyone at all that everyone likes. I guess that would be too much to ask.

Carry on.

It is ironic that all the points the OP wanted to mock have now actualized in this thread
