But the series is better.

Well I haven't seen the original, only the special uncut edition. It sucked.

Eruviel Greenleaf · 04-01-2002, 12:46 AM

Okay, now I think I should try to watch the series. . .nah, too much time spent away from entmoot

Is that from the archological point of view, or did it your opinion just suck?

I kind of liked the movie, those helmet were awesome! I've only seen season 1 and 2 of the series, so far so good...I especially like the fact that they tried really hard to connect the series with the film

Well obviously my opinion. But archaeologically as well - not that that counts for much, cos so was Indiana Jones, and I love those movies.

I like the series though.

I see

What DO men want?

You'd better look somewhere else, because it's certainly not to be found here.

Is there some lingo name for threads that stray off-topic? I mean, significantly... because, you know, nearly all threads do that, but this is one is uncanny. I will present a few possibilities. Since we can't get much further away from the topic , this thread will also be a suitable place to discuss the options.

IRC - I know it already stands for Internet Relay Chat elsewhere, but it could mean Incongruous Reply Collective here. Quite fitting.

Mutt - I guess this would be the opposite of a thorough-thread (Get it??) and I don't recall seeing the word here before.

Skeezick - aforementioned in the now-closed "Is it Rogue or Rouge?" thread. It just sounds right.

That's all for now. Anyone else have ideas?

Arathorn · 04-01-2002, 06:42 AM

How about:
shread
bopic
POT - Posted Out Thread
CHU - CBG Help Us
PCE - Post Count Enhancer

Nibs · 04-01-2002, 06:46 AM

I like shread, skeezick, and mutt best so far... this calls for a full-fledged discussion of self-assigned words we could use around here. What else could we use new terms for? Discuss.

***Earniel*** · 04-01-2002, 07:41 AM

Making up words is my family's speciality. It's somehow really amusing to see people from often on the other side of the world using words that don't really excist. My sister managed to get a decent numeber of people on a internetforum to use the word 'fne'

OT Out of Thread

I like PCE though.

freddie · 04-01-2002, 09:22 AM

This thread left its topic long ago. I am going to close it.

Tanoliel · 04-02-2002, 12:30 AM

Who are you, Freddie, and why are you closing our threads?

Really, we're having an interesting discussion, here.
I like Skeezick and PCE the best, thought Mutt is good too.
"This is an example of irony. Discuss." Heehee, EG...the left-leaning jews...

Freddie is Tater a.k.a. Big Fat Jerk. Don't worry, he's on the Halfwit Hitlist.

BeardofPants · 04-02-2002, 12:36 AM

... and you've JUST caught on...?

FrodoFriend · 04-02-2002, 12:38 AM

Hey, I just got here. No, I suspected before that freddie was not new, but an old admin w/ a new alias. Guess I coulda figured it would be Tater.

Tanoliel · 04-02-2002, 12:49 AM

Hmmm...I THOUGHT that might be it....

What is it with people having all this free time? Dear Eru...I have none at all. And yet I come on the moot anyhow...hehe.

FrodoFriend · 04-02-2002, 12:53 AM

Yeah, really! I have homework waiting for me right now! *sigh*

Eruviel Greenleaf · 04-02-2002, 01:46 AM

Oh yeah, homework. That.

Quick, guys, ban together and say that men want this thread to stay open! That's on-topic, isn't it?

Arathorn · 04-02-2002, 02:10 AM

No more fights?

Eruviel Greenleaf · 04-02-2002, 04:00 AM

Since you asked, Arathorn...

I challenge anyone here to a duel.

Arathorn · 04-06-2002, 02:34 AM

I guess EG wins by default.

Now about that sword...
