I graduated dogg.

Chaberto sounds like the name of a kickass mexican lucha libra pro wrestler who could give Benoit a run 4 his money.

Re-read this thread at work on Saturday night and was laughing out loud. Although it's pretty pathetic to realize just how invested in board lore U have to be to react like that to such a huge waste of time.

There were countless threads that signaled the somb death spiral and U'd almost never call out an active megathread like this 4 being one like that but in hindsight it really was.

Obviously I miss shooting the shit there and here but what I really just need is a place where people talk about music and aren't assholes about it.

I mean like, have U actually visited the RYM forums let alone tried to use them?

Yeah that place is hell.

This is one of my favourite threads, especially since he said shall I do a countdown and majority said no, wait a year.

The huff of posting the last few like that

^ Obviously I can never read that thread again but I'm still laughing at my memories of it.

I was thinking of "Nick Deems Fireworks Dumb" last week and got sad that I couldn't look at it.

It's amazing to me that you guys have "memories" of "threads".

Maybe it's because I was 16-20 years old, but I don't remember a goddamn thing about SOMB.

Not much else going on in life at the time.

"At the time"

:look:

Busted out a chesty lol at this

"I imagine a lot of other NPR listeners, like myself, were put off by Sir Luscious Leftfoot's misogynistic lyrics"

So, I've actually found a way of resurrecting whole threads from that place, providing they are on Way Back Machine in a certain format.

I've just remembered Undo's blurb for The Field - Yesterday & Today

Feels weird getting nostalgic for Sound Ops Message Board.

Racked up a lot posts from the DePaul campus and at my internship office. Just posting and reading the board and then going to Tower Records to pick up a CD someone recommended.
