Posts you had second thought about and decided not to post - put them here

never heard of them

I'm Lester the night fly, hello Baton Rouge

well, that's ruined this beloved classic for me

opinions withheld in the interests of amity

sometimes in life we all take a wrong turn

Damn straight, I just discovered Steve Hoffmann forums and wish I hadn't started up here. They may not be quite as smart but they aren't broken creeps like the swine on ILM. I tried for 20 years with positive and encouraging comments, got a lot of attitude in return. See y'all later

for the record your honour it was not my intention to discourage Mr Galdston

Grass is always greener

I wish I had bookmarked that hacked trove of CIA eyeroll emojis.

can we send PhilDNC and Nudrik to start a moon colony on one of those unreliable pvt spaceship lines when they're ready?

Still waiting for you to ever say anything interesting, funny or smart.

i'll warn you in advance, schmuck

It's OK, I can easily derive your opinions by spinning the Boring Hot Take Wheel of Fortune. Or throwing a bunch of poetry magnets at a refrigerator. Or reading Greenwald's Twitter feed.

looks like you didn't have second thoughts about these posts

Neanderthal otm seconded and much lauded imo

You know what else you should put on your pineapple pizza, is a nutsack

Not the appropriate time to talk about it.

on an inappropriately selfish note people dying at my age gives me the chronic fear

counting is hard

it's really quite straightforward: the 1st century had only 99 years in deference to our Lord and Saviour, who rose today

yesterday in the post I received my annual religious Happy Easter card from mum, I am starting to feel like a bridge to another era myself!

Every single one of you above appalls me. You are disgusting savages and I do not know why I still hang around this fucking website.

gotta be the Star Wars shit talk thread

any Star Wars thread tbh

didn't they remaster the beatles catalog already?

^^^^

yeah so now he only has it up to HERE, instead of *here*!

one must constantly fold new life experience into one's always evolving assessment of which Beatle best handled BEATLEMANIA

Good second thought imo elicits panic & controversy 8/10

maybe you should have had a better attitude during flyergate

words mean things fyi

didn't realise Stephen Kinnock was a regular poster tbh

sadly the balustrade is what you slide down, the banisters are the posts that stick up into it

*god*, we didn't all grow up in *shropshire*

Brief googling shows me that this is a British v. American thing:

Now here is where it becomes more confusing.

Many Americans — I cannot speak for other countries — also use the word “banister” to refer to the handrail of a staircase.

I think bannister is generally used in the UK to mean handrail also.

cf AA Milne, from "The King's Breakfast": ""Nobody," he said, As he slid down the banisters".

Yes I decided not to post that ON THIS THREAD because it's so dull.

also used in a popular Smiths lyric but I refuse to promote far right views

I call the handrail the banister or the rail or the handrail. The posts that hold it up are called balusters.

If I were feeling hypercorrect I might say that the handrail and balusters together constitute the banister.

If you are sliding down it, you are sliding down the entire structure, so sliding down the banister is fine either way.

Balustrade is too grand a word for a home. Balustrades are for fairy-tale palaces or dictatorial proclamation-making.

That was for the uk politics thread wasn't it

Balustrade is a very woody word

See also the old joke book title: "The Nail on the Bannister" by R. Stornoway.

i read the synopsis of the Cate Blanchett movie "Manifesto" and it sounds like the worst thing ever created

it wd be literal torture for at least one Blanchett hater i know

suggest bannister

ah, heres the [unintelligible]

I dunno, you probably grew up to become rape apologists or something.

just had an absolutely killer idea: what if, in between standing outside with signs + pussy hats, we start a thread where we repost tweets calling trump dumb and his associates evil, or even worse, hypocrites? pretty sure 1000 days of that and this bad dude is cooked! also, what's this i hear about collusion with russia? someone should point that out on a message board full of academics and record reviewers!
