This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Remind me not to go away from my desk for several hours by jddomer
DomerJD might just be the younger, taller, cuter version of me.
My junior year, one of the fraternities had an "around the world" party, and I decided to be little miss world traveler. Every room had a different international drink. I had a particular fondness for Russia and cheap vodka. After a few rounds, I ran into a guy in one of my history classes. We had never spoken a word to each other, but I walked up to him and laid one on him. I have heard stories about the rest of the evening, but I think they are exaggerated.
