I remember those Ash Alerts well. Here’s another funny story, something was going on in Russia, I can’t remember what, things were really hot between the US and Russia and we all checked drudge like every 12 seconds back in those days.
I posted a humor thread stating Russia had launched nukes and that we had 17 minutes left and if we hurried we could still refresh Drudges page another few hundred times before impact. Well, some folks didn’t get the humor part and kind of freaked out, I felt bad that I worried some folks seriously (but they didn’t read the story obviously)
LOL, I don’t remember that one, but I do remember the “Testing” thread. I laughed so hard that night the tears were streming down my face. I couldn’t get over the humor of some of the very serious people around here. Do you remember who it was who started that, was it Basil? Several people have tried to start that again using the same premise, but it was never the same.
Yep, you are are brilliant...evil but brilliant.
