Beefy's Corner - The Off-Topic Chat Thread

The official Off-Topic Chat Thread now known as "Beefy's Corner".

Firstly, the normal rules of the site apply. You cannot start a discussion about contentious issues, Politics, Religion, or show Porn, etc... The flip side of this arrangement is that there will be a much stricter enforcement of the "no going off topic" rule which has always been the case anyway, on the other threads.

Secondly, the normal rules of the Saints board will apply, (except that you can go off-topic obviously). This is not going to become a "private GC Lite." Personal insults will not be tolerated, and neither will goading someone to draw them out. The whole tone of this board has suffered in the past as differing views have been aired and there have been far too many angry exchanges. Vitriolic exchanges are not welcome and will be dealt with as appropriate. If you have fallen out with a poster put him on your ignore list and don't rise to the bait!
If you see content which is not appropriate, please send the mods a PM rather than fronting up the poster and let us deal with it to save a bun-fight. Lastly, if a thread is closed or deleted by one of the Mods, and you have some good reason that it should reopen, then send us a PM with your reasons. Simply re-posting the same thread again to be confrontational would be considered very provocative and would probably lead to action being taken.

It would seem that large numbers of posts and subjects causes problems for mobile phone users to access this site.
So from time to time it will be necessary to close the threads down and start a new one.
We need you guys to let us know when the site becomes difficult to access so that we do not change over unnecessarily.

Heeeeeerrrrrreeeee'sssss Beefy..!

 

Ah well never mind Might as well bring in the token update amidst the whole Boston thing: Tom gets his first podium finish, DTLW's late night surge of Boston updates drags him above Joe into second, as Joe picks up his second consecutive bronze.

You've just changed it over unnecessarily.

 

DTLW - Copy and Paste your post over, unless you're not that bothered.

 

Zooey Deschanel has been captured. I repeat, Zooey Deschanel has been captured.

I did it now instead of when it becomes a problem. We said we'd do it roughly every 1000 posts anyway.

 

And I sneaked into 5th.

 

FOX NEWS: "All sorts of people running in the Marathon will now be running in the wheelchair marathon."

That has to be the most tactless comment I have seen for a while.

 

Sounds like he's only just alive. Let's hope he stays alive long enough to get motives and connections squeezed out.

 

As for criticizing Fox, you should have heard the crap they were coming out with TSS.

 

CNN saying that the streets were eerily quiet, as if a bomb went off, might be on equal footing.

 

You're incredibly quick, Dan. I am most impressed with your earnest desire to update us with the stirring news.

 

While everyone else is providing on the beat news about terrorism and police movements and all that actual news, I work day and night to keep post counts updated, it's my sworn duty.

Also, I think (but can't confirm) that was the shortest-lived Beefy's in history.

 

Did CNN say it was a Jihad? And that Chechens shouldn't be allowed in their country ?

 

It did go bloody quickly. Tom and DTLW really stormed it.

 

Thankfully, I've largely stayed away from this news item today, as the news media have been turning it into a very bad Hollywood film.

Did anyone notice that there was a powerful earthquake in Iran this week..? Also China has suffered a minor quake today. These things are relative however, as the condition of buildings may make a minor earthquake more dangerous in one region than another more powerful quake in another.

 

No. CNN is idiotic, rather than evil. Best commentary by far came from the local media, who actually had an interest in reporting things rather than spewing bile.

 

Best commentary by far was refreshing Joe's Reddit link while listening to the radio stream.

 

Didn't hear about the earthquakes, but have heard China are covering up the amount of deaths from bird flu they have.

 

I did hear about the Iran earthquake. No idea how many died, but I heard the epicentre was in a sparsely populated area, fortunately.
