Matt Young Appreciation Day was created to bump Boardum down to page 2, where it could die in peace.

Inanimate objects can't reciprocate affection, you goof

Okay, Rudo. Again, you're making good points about the shortcomings of the main page. So what we have is a community with a glut of talented writers in various fields, and a website that has gone dormant. What is the best way to apply these two resources so as to get the site up and running, which will ostensibly lead to ad revenue for the owner?

That's an assrape. Sean Henn was terrible.

Who, in turn, draw 20 billion flies

Phoenix Down and Revivify beat all the undead enemies. Good trick, but kinda cheating. Speakin' of the Phantom Train, I loved having ghosts in my party and using Possess. And I loved that song.

I guess I'll just never understand!

But he's still directly responsible for four murders, and indirectly responsible for many more.

I hope it's that one

You spoony bard! Forget the shitty translation, I'm annoyed at all the special attacks missing: Dark Wave, Recall Spell, Prayer, etc.

I run ZSNES as my emulator, and I'm satisfied. I'm working on a fan-translated FF6, and it's tough to remember all the names of enemies and Espers and so forth. Doesn't matter, my super-Sabin kills all in his path.

We've been using the setup of Rantsylvania from day one, haven't we? Like we've said, what I'm afraid of with just open access to publishing is that it'll be unfit for publication. Chalk it up to all my English classes over the years, or my OCD, but I feel that if you're gonna put something out there, it better look good. I can't stand seeing errors in columns that I read. How many times have you read a Scott Keith piece that says somebody "takes the reigns" of a wrestling promotion? I can't STAND that! It's wrong, wrong, wrong. Reins. I know some people like to make fun of me for my peer-editing on the board, but if we're going to make these rules for the English language, let's observe them. I understand that blogs offer feedback. So does the board. Ideally, non-members will read columns, register, and discuss them on the website's forum. But there has to be some sense of organization, some kind of system involved that takes everything in, polishes them off, and presents them as a finished product. It can't just be 50 monkeys hurling shit at the wall.

I see what you mean, and welcome the necessary criticism. We need to find a way to make ourselves stand out, but none of us know how. My worry was that as ubiquitous as blogs are, blogs about pop culture/current events are the most ubiquitous of all. I understand the necessity of feedback; but to me "blog" just conjures up images of useless LiveJournal fodder.

Alexander The Great. And yeah he taught you Pearl and casted a super-powerful Pearl as a summon. http://www.ffcompendium.com/h/name.shtml A good resource. Alexander: Might have been named either for the Russian czar of the 1800s or the Macedonian conqueror of the 4th century BC. Arcanus Dominus reminds us that Czar Alexander was a member of a group called the "Holy Alliance", which fits nicely. Alternatively, Alexander might be named after King Alexander Tycoon from FF5. DarkAlexander1 notes that the word itself is Greek for "defender of man". Angry Turnip further comments that the Alexander the Great theory is the most likely, as this Alexander is a mythological figure. Like King Arthur and Charlemagne, some imaginitive (and often downright bizarre) legends grew up around him. Yet another theory from Masamune_Seraph: In the myth of the Trojan war, Aphrodite and Athena approached the kidnapper of Helen. His name was Paris (in Roman his name was Alexander). He had to choose whichever was more beautiful. Both promised him a gift and said it was a divine (holy) judgement. Athena promised him victory in the war and the power to rule the world, Aphrodite promised to be his bride. Naturally he chose Aphrodite. The trojans lost the war, and Paris went down in history as a fool because of his "Holy Judgement". The large castle refers to the fortifcation of the city of Troy. Alex Scott disagrees with this, though: "Alexander, as the list mentions, is a Greek name, so I don't understand why it would be changed from a Greek name when translated into Latin."

this is how I imagine kkktookmybabyaway: I've heard enough about this hippie crap. Where's my copy of Slime magazine, I wanna make fun of those red diaper-doper baby judges. Stupid Jews, stoled all my money. The better half said I should shut my fat mouth, but I'm not gonna. I hate kids. Get away from me. Aw shucks, I missed Paul Harvey now...

You want us to be different, yet you say we should do a blog. does not compute. But yeah, we all have our strengths. You're funny, and have vast knowledge of MMA. I'm a pretentious bastard that points out everybody's mistakes. Al Keiper is a walking Bill James book. A bunch of us could be qualified music critics. Bottom line, a lot of people here are talented writers. So yeah, let's do something with that

Well what should we be, then? I mean, we can't be wrestling; most of the posters worth a damn have gotten sick of it, yourself included. As for blogs, we already have our blog section of the forum. We should try and have the main page reflect some sort of organized journalism.

Sugar Bear would play it cool.

MagiMaster, just have Umaro in the party, or cast Berserk on him

Though there should be some sort of quality control process that weeds out the crap from the quality stuff. An "editor"?

i need a hug, admin

from cnn.com • Watch: Stanley Tookie Williams executed hah

Mike and Marney are okay as long as they're held in check somewhat, which they pretty much were here. I generally like them. The problem is when it's all one side because everyone else has been run off. That happened at TSM, then at the Pit, and it made things really annoying. (See the Health Nazis thread for when I finally snapped.)

I didn't say I wanted it to be my blog I just wanted to write and for you to use the banner I slapped together

You know, I've never seen Styles on camera since he started doing Raw
