Why was the "fun" thread locked?

Post by Jason Larsen »

Why was the "fun"thread titled "The last person to post here wins" locked?

In case all of you didn't know, I don't seem to realize how all of your senses of humor. I posted a thread about this to make you aware, but now I think my obliviousness is really coming into play.

If someone could have a serious, lighthearted discussion with me in the near future, I would greatly appreciate it.

This is a rather silly question, Jason. Ben explains why it was locked: so HE could win. You really should be thinking a little before you post, no offence mate :)

I'm sorry, David.

I bet you can all hear the Countdown clock "ticking on down" in your sleep, can't you?

No, but whenever I see threads like this, I can hear the theme tune to the Twilight Zone.

They showed The Twilight Zone in the UK? I didn't know that.

I was at the dentist on Wednesday and I made my dentist proud, so you all better believe I'd be smiling if I met any of you in real life.

A lot of people here don't like Des O'Connor. I'm not sure why, I think he is a decent host.

Here are two videos created by a gentleman called Simon Tofield, called Simon's Cat. I think these are very good animations.

Whatever part of England it was snowing in, it must have been very rare especially around this time of year!

Unbelievable!
