| Hi, Matthew. (...) I've reviewed the passages describing the parting of the Jordan, and while the text doesn't rule out that the water piled up downstream as well, I have to agree that it would make more sense to portray this scene with only one (...)

| | Re: Bye, bye LUGNET
|
| (...) This is true, but there are some words that many people find offensive and/or don't want their kids to see. But I don't think the issue here is about naughty words. I think the issue here is with the Orwellian mode of enforcement. I'd prefer (...) (20 years ago, 1-Mar-05, to lugnet.general)

| (...) You aren't considering how "heavy" the enforcement it is for the admins. I think that the particular model selected by Lugnet is unecessarily tough for the admins, and this example illustrates that. (20 years ago, 2-Mar-05, to lugnet.admin.general)

Gosh and golly (euphemisms for God) were also invented to stop people (...) (20 years ago, 4-Mar-05, to lugnet.admin.general)

| Hey Brendan, Great stuff as always. Spies and the Prostitute: I wouldn't have done the sex scene, but oh well. The blue and yellow room in 2:2 is great, especially the blue axles in the yellow bricks with axle hole--great little detail. I'm not a (...) (20 years ago, 17-Aug-04, to lugnet.build.ancient)

I took the pictures outdoors (on top of a jackstanded Scirocco, actually, I try to make do with my available tools :p ) at about 4-5PM. The natural (...)
