I really miss FOTchan!

[Sarah]

I think Jason suspended it because there was another anti-Laurie thread, Grimlock.  I'm still hoping it comes back.  It was a good place to whine.

[Laurie]

It wasn't because it was an anti-Laurie thread. It was because it was a direct, personal attack with no redeeming value. It wasn't funny, nor was it meant to be funny. It was just outright mean.

In case any of you were wondering, I didn't throw a big hissyfit and request a FOTchan timeout or something. I wouldn't mind seeing its return with the loosest of rules or caveats against mean-spirited personal attacks.

[samir]

I started the secret crushes thread.  Which means that I said I had a crush on myself, Dorvid, and Samir, which is true, but in a heterosexual way, except in the case of myself.

That's going to be one hell of a hot tub party.

I've made fun of Laurie in FOTchan and elsewhere (town hall meetings, slam poetry open-mics, dinner with my family), but that thread was a new kind of horrible. I wanted the OP to post his or her picture, because I g-u-a-r-a-n-t-e-e they were worse.

And also kind of stalkerish!

maybe i missed something, somewhere, but why is there ever an anti-laurie anything?!




(must be an inside joke i missed)

[dave from knoxville]

Oh, how I wished and prayed that anyone (except maybe Spike) had a crush on me. But to no avail!

[Laurie]

Worse than my pictures? Ouch!

[erika]

Laurie you are adorable and you know it.

DFK, i absolutely have a crush on you!  granted, its in that 'I'm-jealous-andy-from-knoxville-has-such-a-cool-dad-why-oh-why-couldnt-I kind of way, but...nonetheless.

chin up.

[gravy boat]

I think it's fitting that the lasting image under it is "Who are all you people . . . "

Aww, thats not how I meant it!

You need me to start the adoption process? What's your earnings potential?

[Emily]

I now have one less place to talk about my gas.

That's my only admission re: fotchan.

[Regular Joe]

The only part of FOTchan I can even be remotely proud of was my lengthy contribution to the FOTart thread, with the sparkly unicorns and the pothead care bear. I spent way too long on that thing, but it was worth it.
