this is incredibly dumb, but wow, literally the whole time i've been on SA i thought this was referencing some kind of lightsaber onomatopoeia

in retrospect, i have no idea why i thought that. maybe the figure 8 loop made me think of somebody making the noise with their mouth while waving a toy around

Has there ever been a case of someone waiting out a 100k-hour probe and then posting again? That's only eleven and a half years or so, so there's been plenty of time for it since The Beginning.

I think I remember someone (glistening hodor maybe?) Getting a 100k reversed and coming back after a few years, but I'm not aware of anyone posting again after the full 11.5 years.

Worth noting the only reason Abe upgraded them to a perma is they kept closing and reopening their awful thread while probed, which is apparently a thing you can do.

Somebody put "wom" at the end of a thread title and, to the best of my knowledge, never explained it

Hodor's was from a gbs thread where he specifically got like 3 years and had to pm a mod when they were up. I was impressed he followed through.

...Isn't that just "eom" (end of message) but typoed? Was the first post blank aside from the title?

IIRC wom was a typo in a thread title but then the original poster got some forums friends to try and turn it into a thing. There was an admission somewheres after the fact.

I think I remember it being that the title got cut off or something, and he left it because this was the time when getting a popular GBS thread was considered an important part of life.

Donald Trump had a prepared script for one of his impeachment hearings about the Ukraine call, which turned out to be just a handful of blanket denials scribbled in a big child-like hand with "I want nothing. I WANT NOTHING." repeated at the top for emphasis.

There's a Pratchett novel where one character has a :wom: tattoo and he explains that "It was supposed to say 'mom,' but I passed out halfway through and the tattoo artist was too drunk to notice." I always assumed it was a reference to that or whatever original joke that one referenced.

I like your style hombre, but this is no laughing matter. Assault on a police officer. Theft of police property. Illegal possession of a firearm. FIVE counts of attempted murder. That comes to... 29 dollars and 40 cents. Cash, cheque, or credit card?
Is there a story behind :bagl:? I ask because I really like :bagl:, much as I really like bagels, and it could stand on its own, alone and unjustified, needing no support, but it could also be a gateway to so much more.

Apologies if the baglstory was told in recent memory within this thread.

Just started reading from this link, never heard of it until now. Is this a whole graphic novel or something and it’s on here free? My spending is cut to almost zero right now and I could use something like that.
