Aaaaaaaannnddd...we're back!

I knew the Cellar had an overabundance of kindness for a while. It was bound to end. I haven't heard 'fuck off' in a longggggggg time.

Nothing like a bunch of bombs to get things going again.

Guy says he bought the domain to keep some kook from buying it. Good job, man.

Just a case of a xenophobic, idiotic bigot maybe.

I keep trying to figure out how we're going to ban backpacks, and the ever pesky 'rolling bookbags' that rude lazy people like to hang out about 5 feet behind them so everyone trips over them, from campus.

Prime real estate for death and destruction, right here.

"Oh look, a bookbag!"

"Yeah, there're about 20,000 of them on campus right now."

It's the pressure cooker background check I'm not looking forward to.

I dunno, Flint. I read it as a criticism of Obama too. I can see what you meant, now. But it didn't read that way in my head.

And Flint? Don't feed the trolls.

First, one must identify those who, while not exactly trolls, often engage in trolling behavior. When they can be bothered.

Ahem.

A troll is one who adds little or nothing to the conversation, but still manages to stir up shit.

Right.

In whose opinion?

Because I might say that, in this instance, there is more than one troll. I might even say there was only one troll, and it might not be the troll you want.

You know why forums always have trolls? Because the internet is made of cats. Ever seen a cat sitting atop a tall fence and winding up the frantic dog below?

Now: how bout everyone settles down and stops investing this thread with way too much importance. It's a conversation in a pub and sometimes the tone drifts downwards even though everyone is genuinely moved by the enormity of events.

If the internet is made of cats then why aren't there more hairballs? Who's going to pay for the catnip? I don't want the litter box in the house, let them go outside.

Watching the Jodi Arias trial. In between commercials and testimony, HLN just ran a blurb indicating that there is a suspect. No further details released.

Hey, you know she has a friend writing tweets for her? They're kinda funny, actually.
