Just over 100 posts?
Really?
I know I haven't able to be around much, and Fridays are deader, but this still surprises me.
'Course, Pea's still not here.
There've been a few political discussions, but nothing like the wars we were fighting four years ago (at least not yet).
Oh well. We'll find something to talk about soon. We always do.
And hey, Rock of Love (Should we just go ahead and start calling it RoL now?) starts soon, so Fanny and tgirl will take up Pea's slack all by their lonesomes, right?

Maybe after the dust has settled and the candidates have been chosen we'll get more into such matters. Of course we could discuss whether Bloomberg is going to run as a third-party candidate and which party would be more affected by that decision.mrkelley23 wrote:There've been a few political discussions, but nothing like the wars we were fighting four years ago (at least not yet).
Indeed we do.mrkelley23 wrote:Oh well. We'll find something to talk about soon. We always do.
I won't be a part of that conversation - but I'll read the posts.mrkelley23 wrote:And hey, Rock of Love (Should we just go ahead and start calling it RoL now?) starts soon, so Fanny and tgirl will take up Pea's slack all by their lonesomes, right?

People fight about things when they care, I think that most people just don't care enough about primaries to fight.mrkelley23 wrote: There've been a few political discussions, but nothing like the wars we were fighting four years ago (at least not yet).

So far - but once the primaries are over I suspect it will be different.littlebeast13 wrote:earendel wrote:Maybe after the dust has settled and the candidates have been chosen we'll get more into such matters.

It is easier to avoid threads or posts we don't care about. So there's less complaining.littlebeast13 wrote:

Re: Just over 100 posts?
But my point was the fighting was going on at least a year and a half before the last Presidential election. Even if it does pick up this year after the primaries, this time around has still been far different from 03-04....earendel wrote:So far - but once the primaries are over I suspect it will be different.littlebeast13 wrote:earendel wrote: Maybe after the dust has settled and the candidates have been chosen we'll get more into such matters.

Re: Just over 100 posts?
In 2004 we knew who the Republican candidate would be, and had already experienced four years of his (mis)leadership, so there was lots of reason to be hot about the Democrats, and also to argue about what Bush had done. With two unknowns on the horizon there's not as much to argue about until the specific candidates and their platforms have been settled.littlebeast13 wrote: But my point was the fighting was going on at least a year and a half before the last Presidential election.

Depends on who we is. Those in the know have been calling it RoL all along. Ha!mrkelley23 wrote:And hey, Rock of Love (Should we just go ahead and start calling it RoL now?) starts soon, so Fanny and tgirl will take up Pea's slack all by their lonesomes, right?
I wasn't planning on discussing it at all, unless popular opinion dictates. I need to stay at the kids' table.
PS We are 14 minutes into the marathon (and I feel fine).

No.
Just the vast majority, Mr. 1753 posts on this Bored alone.
Of course, you're nothing compared to the PeaMeistress.
On post totals, I mean.
Plus, you're much less likely to tell me to bite you.
