Certainly this thread should be moved to OMNI now, no? Thoughts?

Hey now! This is one of the few places where my pointless-points still count!

Here's the stuff that talkboard really should concern itself with. Both old classics:

The Natural Life Cycle of an Online Forum (from 1994, maybe earlier)

How many FlyerTalkers does it take to change a light bulb?

The reason the Irish celebrate St. Patrick's Day is because this is when St. Patrick drove the Norwegians out of Ireland.
It seems that some centuries ago, many Norwegians came to Ireland to escape the bitterness of the Norwegian winter. Ireland was having a famine at the time, and food was scarce. The Norwegians were eating almost all the fish caught in the area, leaving the Irish with nothing to eat but potatoes. St. Patrick, taking matters into his own hands, as most Irishmen do, decided the Norwegians had to go.
Secretly, he organized the Irish IRATRION (Irish Republican Army to Rid Ireland of Norwegians)
Irish members of IRATRION passed a law in Ireland that prohibited merchants from selling ice boxes or ice to the Norwegians, in hopes that their fish would spoil. This would force the Norwegians to flee to a colder climate where their fish would keep. Well, the fish spoiled, all right, but the Norwegians, as everyone knows today, thrive on spoiled fish. So, faced with failure, the desperate Irishmen sneaked into the Norwegian fish storage caves in the dead of night and sprinkled the rotten fish with lye, hoping to poison the Norwegian invaders.
But, as everyone knows, the Norwegians thought this only added to the flavor of the fish, and they liked it so much they decided to call it 'lutefisk', which is Norwegian for 'luscious fish'.
Matters became even worse for the Irishmen when the Norwegians started taking over the Irish potato crop and making something called 'lefse'. Poor St. Patrick was at his wit's end, and finally on March 17th, he blew his top and told all the Norwegians to 'GO TO HELL'.
So they all got in their boats and emigrated to Minnesota, the only other place on earth where smelly fish, old potatoes and plenty of cold weather can be found in abundance.

It's been over three hours since I made that last post and nobody has typed out a single word in the Lounge since.

Honest, folks, I was just kidding. Nobody is going to dedigitize your hands. It's safe. You can come back and make your (non-padding) posts.
