Cops were here for a while taking pictures and measuring and stuff. They took the victim off in an ambulance. Think it was a woman. Sure hope she's ok. Wow that sucks, how did he/she get hit? It looks like the truck blew a stop sign or didn't really look both ways. It's the back part of the parking lot, not a lot of mid-morning traffic and even less pedestrian traffic mid morning. There is a walking path, but that doesn't usually get used until lunchtime. I'll admit to blowing the stop sign myself a time or two over the past 6 years I've worked in this building. never again. |

I do think sometimes the innuendos go over the top and when it is page after page it's a little obnoxious, but what is the solution? No flirting in TAN? That's extreme. I am not saying anyone suggested that but how do you manage it? I like my idea of starting a thread directed to that kind of behavior and talk. That would be a good solution wouldn't it? I'm not saying cutting flirting out of TAN but a thread were people can go and know what the thread is about and if they read it or post in it they choose to. |

How long can a person call it their new blog? I'm asking ummm....for a friend. I think your friend's signature would be just as exciting without the "new" in it As in to say "not very" What if my uh friend put it in new font with multicolor letters, maybe some fireworks, and American flags around it? |

She's 26 and still bitter ![]() I wasn't allowed to watch it either, but when I was in college it was syndicated and I've since seen every episode. I will never admit that my mom was right, but a lot of the stuff that was on the show was way over my matuirty level for high school. I didn't turn into a super freak until college. Now, Rick James is my homeboy.
Thank you Nicole. Thank you. I feel somewhat vindicated... and my daughter wasn't even in HS in '98 when it first started. I watched Dawson's creek once, yes it was for a girl, no it didn't help me get any pizza and yes thats the the reason I sport this awesome glass eye in my left socket. If that's not a joke it's got to be one hell of a story! |

And we're not old. We're experienced!mr2tony - 2012-04-12 11:45 AM trinnas - 2012-04-12 1:30 PM You're missing the point. I am asking that you don't jump on the new people the second they walk into TAN. What is wrong with saying hello and maybe, I dont know, finding out if they're male or female before asking them if they like DP and then threatening to tie them up? I do NOT do that. Because if I did, as a guy, I'd be not only creepy but probably would get kicked off BT. You have tunnel vision. Take a step back and look at it from an outsider's point of view. You will see that it's not just me. A lot of people who used to post here don't anymore and I've been told by some that it's creepy and all innuendo and they're not comfortable with that. I'm not trying to create trouble, I'm trying to improve TAN and make it more welcoming to new (and old) people. mr2tony - 2012-04-12 2:28 PM NRG42 - 2012-04-12 1:18 PM So you'd rather be known as ``that weird thread with all the innuendo'' and not a welcoming fun place for new people? I know of several former regulars who avoid this thread at all costs because it's too racy. So, in other words, it's become `TAN for people who like to talk about sex and make innuendo.' Which is fine, but I dunno, I think it'd be fun to talk about other things from time to time.mr2tony - 2012-04-12 1:16 PM Yeesh wondering if the guys all talked about tying someone up and DPing them, and it was a woman, how well that'd go over. Can't you guys let a new person at least introduce themselves before starting in with the innuendo? You jumped the gun so hastily that you didn't even know it was a woman. It's fun amongst friends but if you don't know the person it just comes off as creepy and not everybody likes it. Some people are OK with it and join in and it's all good fun but if someone doesn't, we'll never see them again and TAN becomes ``that weird thread with all the innuendo.'' I mean, it already is, but can we at least TRY to be a little more subtle? short answer NO And I will reiterate why is your junk and better or any different from anyone else's junk except that it is your junk and you approve of it. Who you calling old people? I'd vote for you if you were running for some sort of office. Vintage! And I've been around since TAN #1 .. not much has changed in the content of the TAN .. there were a lot more people playing along, we always welcomed them in and slowly brought them up to speed and they played along ... or not. That still happens ... but sometimes it becomes something that might better be bantered back and forth in a PM or private chat (if you are a paying member that is) That is what doesn't make sense to me. Or the idea we had loooong ago! And on that note .... I'm hungry. It's national grilled cheese day, chew on that. For the record, I'm not leg humping |

All I'm asking is that people at least say `hi' to someone before offering to go S&M on them! Crabby SOB. |

I will give you this Tony at least you finally had the balls to say it to my face instead of sniping me as some have done AKA having Cord do your dirty work. But that likely has to do with your PMs with Cord after the one he wrote me when I asked him why he was sniping me all the time. I am not going to sit here and defend myself against a bunch of "well you always" types of accusations as that is never a productive use of ones time. I would sit here and say I do and do not do XYZ and you do and do not do XYZ, ultimately that will get us nowhere unless you want to do some sort of stats analysis on it. I have noticed that you don't ever seem to feel like saying anything like that to many of the others. The one that has been getting sniped is me even when I wasn't around much, which with the exception of the last 2 weeks I haven't been. As far as I have seen I have been the only target so if it is about all that you say it is Where are the calls for Yanti to cut it out or Cheri Or Nic. or any of the guys? How many of them have been sniped every time they turn around? I really don't feel like playing in your little High School Cool Kids game. You want to sanitize TAN fine do not make Cord your little attack Beyotch and go after everyone including your own Hypocritical crap! |

Pro![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Wow. Crap is going DOWN! I appreciated some lighthearted innuendo, but I often come to TAN, see that's it'd devolved into some release of frustrations of a sexual matter, and don't even bother to contribute. In my opinion, it goes overboard and out of my comfort zone. If that's how it goes, then ok. But, add me in to the sea of voices who are kind of turned off by that whole thing. |
