    The world owns those, because TRUE ART belongs to humanity, not to the tyranny of commerce.

    Service Pack 2 or later, sure.

    You're not a very useful product, though. All you do is open a blank page and fill it with "BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS" until the computer can't keep up and the user gets the Blue Screen of Death.

    That last list seems a little on the short side...
  • Imipolex GImipolex G
    Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Maybe that Jammies thread too.
  • AnonusAnonus
    I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    Hey, now. The Forum Lust Game is the greatest thread ever. :P

    (The Jammies thread is simply bizarre, it was yet another thread borne of impulse and a desire to share everything with everybody and then bam, mega-thread)

    Oddly enough, the Jammies thread is one of those ones that I read the first few pages of when it was created, and then ignored for a long, long time before participating.

    (Other examples include the Trash Heap, Post Your Random Thoughts, and the Fetishes thread, though I only briefly participated in the latter)
  • Imipolex GImipolex G
    Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I can't bring myself to even look at the Jammies thread. It radiates antipathy for some reason.

    It started as a typical IJBM thread (the first post was "...in front of my OPEN WINDOW"), then people just started having random conversation there and it became the Troper Updates of IJBM. Then, you know, IJBM got nuked and it got sent to Yack Fest.
  • AnonusAnonus
    I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    I find it amusing that it's been in Yack Fest longer than it was in IJBM.
  • Imipolex GImipolex G
    Touch the cow. Do it now.
    It's funny, because usually I like jammies.
