To try another spin on this OT question...

[NMelby-migration]

I would rather keep the off topic posts and get rid of the emoticons (I would psend way more time here if they didn't exist). But that is just me, a bitter old man who is bugged by pixels.

Nate, you're 25 years old,.... way too young to be bitter. At 25 you're supposed to be bristling with energy, enthusiasm, and hubris.

 

Me, OldGuy, POV and and BurntBoy are some of the true bitter old men on the boards. Can't you leave even THAT to us?

Redhook's Thought for the Day: "Since CGC is so incredibly behind the schedules by which the charges for grading are based, I think it would be only fair to include a coupon for one free express grading for every six books submitted for standard service that are actually taking the same time as economy is supposed to take. I think it's time for a little give back to us loyal supporters. It won't bankrupt you or slow you down that much, and it would go a long way to preserving the goodwill of your customers."

 

Dream on you bitter old man.

I am straight up pretty bitter. I just hate emoticons. That goes back to way before I came to this board a couple of years ago. Emoticon's, graemlins, whatever you call them must be eradicated.

I think you forgot the smiley in your post above, like this:

 

 

Emoticon's, graemlins, whatever you call them must be eradicated.

 

Unless you were serious in which case proper usage would be:

 

Emoticon's, graemlins, whatever you call them must be eradicated.

Of oucrse it can't be left to us. Even our status as the old gruads of bitterness must be snatched from us. I am most bitter.

( ) Holy Moly!

 

( ) Fear Not.

 

( ) And by the way, I was murdered by my bro Claudius

Didnt they make a movie from Hamlet? Using Mel Gibson instead of emoticons, I believe. (Think I wouldve rather seen the emoticons! )
