The guy in the picture is the character Kelso from the TV show "That 70's Show," which popularized the expression a few years ago. The disco ball is because of course the show is set in the 1970s, and the position he's standing in is reminiscent of a celebratory dance a football player might do when he makes a touchdown (holding the football where the disco ball is.)

...Damn, there are a lot of cultural references in that one image.

Wow, CF, I never figured you as a pedantess. I mean that in a good way.

Just out of curiosity, I would like to throw out a question to the non-US Cellarites. Is the Cellar your only or primary social BBS? If it's not your only board, do you have one that is more local for you that you also visit?

If I could find an Australian or European board with the same kind of dynamic as the Cellar, I might also visit there for a bit of cultural variety.

BTW, I consider myself possibly borderline Asperger's, so I also have a tendancy to be pedantic. I have been known to wince at people who switch the contraction "you're" with the word "your".
