Strangely I have seen references to what we might call "The Great MDF Incident" thousands, perhaps millions of times.  But I missed the actual thread.  I've never actually known what happened.   :)

I asked a dumb question.  Jim was on his period.  That's about it.

LMAO . . . how did that thread become so legendary?  It wasn't even a stupid question.  People lose ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- out the back of their trucks/cars all the time cos it's not properly secured.  Sometimes it's people who even took precautions but overlooked something that may or may not have been obvious.  I mean, it's okay, cos it's fun to see Chad take such a beating over it.  But it seems totally unmerited, IMO.   ;D

The postpurgatory days.  Ah, what memories.  I still stand by what I said in that thread.  One of the funniest things I ever seen was the thread keeping track of all the jobs you've ever had.  It is impressive!

Some of us have had to do a lot of different things to go to where we are.  Lots of summer jobs, lots of internships, etc.  Guess you were lucky enough that you had an easier path.   Congrats.  :dunno

That is so true, though.  Spend some time in Salem, MA, and you'll meet people stranger than that.  But it's a pastry bakery, not bread.  Small coffee shop that does catering baking overnight.

If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.

Oh, I've had tons of jobs.  What is interesting is that your job history just happens to always have a connection to what someone is talking about, whether it be deep sea snorkeling or ice cream tasting.

Or... maybe... I only mention my job history when it actually does... so in those threads where it does not... it never comes up.

Man, there were some really good ones made over at KLOV with that software. The one recapping Leinhit's "ghost story" nearly had me fall out of my chair from laughing. I'll see if I can find it.
