When I first lurked/joined new users were green, then went black after you changed their les. People always asked then too.

[UnWantedTheory]

I didn't want the boldness as a status symbol and have no plans to use it as such. I'm no elitist. I'm not going to change. I'm not going to start calling people "noob" or "gnsf" or go around pretending to have some kind of authority or credibility. I liken it to getting a new pair of appropriate shoes.

You can tell a lot about a man by his shoes.

. So the bold/black names are nothing to strive for or hand out congratulations about. It's not an indicator of longevity or performance as a poster -- just rather who was insistent about something that means nothing

This thread changes all of that.

The boldness means pretty much nothing. My name isn't even bold (it's just black).

That's because you are the Kori Princess, mistress of the tree of woe, etc...

hey, y'all know posting is really really easy, right?

That's grounds for a de-bold if those shoes ain't boots turned sideways and put in noob or gnsf's ass . . .

What PM? To Kori?

I thanked her because I am a polite gentleman. If you bought me a new pair of shoes, I would thank you too . . . but I'm afraid I would have to see a diploma first.

So now that you have a bolded name, your humor sensor suddenly became Dijon quality?

Would a high school diploma work?

Draw it on the back of a Denny's kid's menu in crayon. I'm no stickler.

I would rather lose than eat at Denny's.

[UnWantedTheory]

There are still Denny's around?

I've been on the forum 2 years and this is my 5000th post . . . thank you for tolerating me.


I don't think of either of these two milestones are important or significant, but I do appreciate that the absurd inconsequentiality of my existence as a member of Spurstalk should be an occasion for farcical obsequiousness. I have made more than a few astoundingly accurate, remarkably clairvoyant observations in my time on the forum. I have also peppered these brilliant comments with a generous supply of irreverent ass-grabbery and cantankerous jocularity.

I have learned to appreciate your amaranthine streams of supercilious jabberwocky and amaroidal exegeses. Your 5,000 posts are a vertiable compendium of bellicose gasconade. You're also the only person to ever use Tom Waits as an avatar.

Carry on.

You don't have to eat there.

Sambo's?

[jjktkk]

Sambo's?

SAMBO's? Sambo's still around. I prefer Jims over the rest.

I don't think so. People are far too politically correct these days to let a restaurant named Sambo's exist.

[DMC]

Meh. I worked nights for many years, and Denny's was the only place open. Some fat waitress without a front tooth (cliche) who thought that "no butter" meant to scrape the butter off and flip the pancake. She did it every ing time for years. Can't , she's working at night at Denny's. How much of a demotion could she get in life?

I don't care for any of these places actually. Too much travel I suppose. Mom and pop places are cool, but I try to avoid the chains.

Who led you to believe it?

As I've explained, we used to change the names to bolded black (as a tracking indicator for ourselves) when we had to change the user les under your names manually. When the system changed and users could change their own les, then we stopped bold/blacking people. We wanted some people to remain silver and some black (since that's the Spurs' colors).

Now, we rarely change them at all. So the bold/black names are nothing to strive for or hand out congratulations about. It's not an indicator of longevity or performance as a poster -- just rather who was insistent about something that means nothing

So if being bolded is no big deal, why are we congratulating OHM? Color me confused.

True, didn't think about that. I remember them back in the 70s.
