re: The percentages on this board.

Lots of good posts are turned into troll threads because people just can't help themselves

The Rant is the conference's dive bar.

This is maybe my favorite description of the Rant to date.

Tuscaloosa is the trashy bartender who knows all the regulars by name and occasionally fricks their drink up on purpose just to liven the place up a bit with laughter. Lots of "Best of the Town" awards on the wall behind him given by magazines nobody has ever read.

SummerofGeorge is the quiet guy everyone gets along with who seems to always be around but is never drunk, and has a low tolerance for the belligerents. Just wants to watch SportsCenter on the big screen and drink his beer. Might be down for a game of chess on the patio later.

diddly is "McLovin" - but Tuscaloosa lets him sit at the bar with the big kids, serves him club soda and tells him its vodka.

paperwasp & Ted were on everybody's who's who list in High School, but just loved the town too much to move away from their low IQ friends like Tuscaloosa.

SidewalkTiger is the regular who found the place a few weeks ago but hasn't missed a day since. Runs up a $200 tab nightly and tells the bartender to "Add it to my tab." Maybe he'll pay it, maybe he won't, and maybe he'll show up tomorrow with no pants on and wearing sombrero he stole from a Mexican birthday party. We don't ask questions any more.

piggilicious is the token hot bar manager who is able to keep the place in order because she gets along with everyone, but everyone is also acutely aware that she could kick their arse.

Tornado Alley is the original owner who moved away and hit it big. Comes back from time to time to check on his people and shake his head. Always drinks for free.

I'm tired of typing, but maybe someone else can continue it. Maybe this should be its own thread.

You sound like Twitter and YouTube trying to regulate free speech. Sure stupid things are said. But who is going to be the judge of stupidity? You? Lol
