3 Items. 1 Similarity. (The Anti-Post-Padding Thread)

TomahawkWham — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 23:15:04 GMT

This is a game, but it's not an easy one. AND, it's difficult to pad your posts (ahem).

I got this idea from Reader's Digest a bit ago.

So here's how it works. I'll supply 3 different things, and you give the common thing or word, and supply 3 more things using this structure.

Example:

Wrestling

Bowling Alley

Hair Salon

Anser: PINS; there are pins in wrestling, you have bowling pins on an alley, and hair pins in a salon. We got it? Aight. I start:

Suggestion about recruiting

RunningBaller23 — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 21:03:42 GMT

That we need to recruit at a very high level. I belive that the boards are good enough to hold atleast anthor 200 members and we need to steal as many as possible. Good quailty posters from CF and CMB we have some of the good ones.

For the CMB guys do you think we have a chance of getting godfather/ obwan 14 or any of the long term members???

I want the board to live as long as possible so in order to do that I think we should have a recruiting forum.

How long do the spurs have?

collyflower — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 12:56:54 GMT

How long more do you think the Spurs can dominate for?

its hard to tell for me. Finley is a waste of space for them. in the playoffs they were playing him out of loyalty. if that contnues through next season, it could mean trouble for them.

bruce bowen is a lot more important to them than people think. if one of the spurs big 3 had to guard the oppositions best player nightly, they would wear out and wouldnt be able to give the same offensive production so how long will it be before bowen ...

Will the world come to an end on December 21, 2012?

Tippmann98 — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 16:37:01 GMT

The Mayan calender ends on December 21, 2012 and supposedly a few other occurences that the Mayan tribe predicted did in fact come true so this date has a few people scared.

If you're a Christian, you've got to be crazy to not think that Jesus could come back pretty soon. There have been way more disasters than ever before and the flooding in the Midwest is hardly a big deal anymore.

What do you guys think?
