Back in the day, we gave each other a lot more than blog particles, ‘Yeah, what HE said !” and links off FR to some random humorless site.

So, what is that supposed to mean?

Lucky, let not your heart be troubled. I am a ‘true’ OFST fan and have been since I found this place, lo these many moons ago. ( I’m not much of a contributor since I work on a golf course most Friday mornings and don’t even SEE the thread ‘til later in the day. )

I merely tried to point out that, over time, OFST has somewhat degenerated from a fairly ‘over the top’ silliness thread ( with hundreds of posts ) to a somewhat more mundane ‘joke list’ ( with dozens of posts ) where entirely too much space is taken up, f’rinstance, with referral links to what I think of as Baba-wawa quizzes — “If you were a tree, Senator, what tree would you be ?” or repetitions of “I hear you, pal” or “Yeah, what HE said” or just “Hey, good’n, bubba !”.

I don’t even want to THINK about what kind of cookie / flower / shoe or fish some blog-filler ‘quiz’ is about to reveal ...

There is a place for ‘humor’ and there is a place for ‘silliness’. I think we have an adequate outlet for humor ( intentional or not ) throughout FR. THIS thread ought to celebrate ‘silliness’, a rare commodity wherever you’re lookin’ for it.

Regards,
