Silliness that changed you. - Page 4

      Ep, I dunno, I think any thread with 'silliniess' in the title is a decent place to discuss Ashcroft's metality. Then again since he's making stuff happen, maybe it's scary instead of silly...
      By the by, even with your graphic visual description I successfuly blocked it from my mind. Thus I can still sleep tonight, no nightmares.

      Slang, he can't tell us what he really thinks. He's posting from home and it's not an officially designated "Free speech zone".
      Good to see you post again, dude.

Good one! Except for all the &nbsp's.

Kids in the hall! Yeeess! I got cable for Comedy Central once after committing to no tv for years, just because they used to have back to back episodes....

When I was younger I didn't get all the humour, so even if I did see an episode twice it was probably funnier later!!

My favorite? Dave Foley! This one is like a time capsule in an age before caller id:

Back in the day the Cellar allowed HTML in posts. At some point people started to develop hacks for HTML in forums, and it became necessary to prevent HTML usage. That just left a lot of bare HTML in posts, where people used it.

  is an HTML character code for "no break space", basically a space character that the browser isn't allowed to drop for typography purposes, even if it happens at the beginning of a line. Browsers make typography decisions about text, and so if you put a bunch of space characters in to format a post, the browsers will just throw them all away. But they can't throw away   so people get in the habit of using them for formatting.
