  Re: I miss the old LUGNET...
 
And who said flame wars were dead? Granted this may not big a huge flame war, but still. ~my thoughts~ Ok, I agree with Larry - I think he has very valid points and good intentions. I do not know if people just do not get what he is trying to say, (...) (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

I admit of a double take the first time I heard that phrase used to mean going out for food (not that I've heard it any other way, mind you) However according to the Red (...)

  Re: "emergency becomes a *disaster.*"
 
(...) How about "banks don't loan money to political parties"?? If the LP folds up, it *will* be a disaster. To the LP. Maybe not to anyone else of course, but the use of the word disaster is justified, in context. If I lost my job, it would be a (...) (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

First you have to decide if your girl and you are truly serious about each other -- sometimes it seems really serious because of hormones, youthful exuberance, etc. These are REAL phenomena -- you can feel (...)
