    Some times I can't figure out what's off topic, on topic, or classifieds. Discuss.

    They do seem to get mixed up.

    im willing to bet that anything NSFW is off-topic

    I thought topic was cars...anything else.

    but you have car talk and classifieds in off topic, same goes for classifieds and GRM not complaining just curious that there's such a wide idea of what's the topic

    how about an off-topic car related classified?:

    Vintage car buff seeks gorgeous female to fill dual role of sex slave and pit crew. Post contact info and photos here.

    HA ha! It depends on what we were talking about to begin with. Since nobody can remember, it's ALL off-topic. Unless Margie wants to talk about apples. THEN you better pay attention.

    Nick, don't settle for a gal that will be good enough for pit crew, strive for a gal that will out drive you. lol wink whink nudge nudge knowwhatimean?

    Can't we all agree there should be: NO PENIS IN THE LOUNGE

    That means we can have all the, er, 'receptacles' we want. I'm in.

    Wait, was that a Freudian slip?

    I don't know whether to put "My car is broken, help!" threads in GRM or off-topic...I see people putting them in both, but I've switched to putting them in GRM because that seems to be the more popular place for them.

    In theory, I think the car stuff should go in the GRM board, the sub-$2008 classifieds go on the $2008 Classified board, and everything else goes here. But notice that, unlike other boards, we're not closing threads and moving stuff around.

    And keep your ding-dong to yourself.

    I've always thought there should be a forum for Grassroots Motorsports (the magazine), Grassroots Motorsports (auto-x, track days, time trials, etc), and one for other car stuff "My DD is broken. Help!"

    But then, I always view by latest topics, so it's kind of irrelevant to me.

    And ding-dongs belong on another board.

    Old Ding Dongs?

    Or new Ding Dongs?

    But like idiots we have to see what's behind that curtain

  • Dec. 2, 2008 10:29 a.m. Jerry From LA Reader

    On this board, there is respect for the artful hijacking of a thread. As a matter of fact, it is de facto encouraged because nobody complains about it as long as it's done tastelessly and in the spirit of fun.

    Witness Mr P71's Ding Dong photos above. Other BBs do not tolerate such egregious disrespect for another man's trivial scribblings. However, I respect the man because he knows where to locate a picture of the original Ding Dong box. That shows uncommon fortitude and perseverance, not to mention a finely-honed mastery of the Googly.

    Play through, sirs.

    Since I grew up in Louisiana, I know this is heresy--next time I'm down there I'll be hunted down with torches and pitchforks for saying it--but Moon Pies are inedible.

    They're like some dare food southerners indulge in just to amaze everyone else--the culinary follow-up to "hey, ya'll watch this."

    I loled so hard after reading that.

    My wife said I need to contribute after that.

    I told her there was no way to top such an acute observation of Moon Pies, and that there was no Northern equivalent, especially since Ding Dongs and Ring Dings had already been covered. (Yankee living in the South, here).

    She said, "Yankees eat REAL food".

    I asked, "You mean, like Twinkies, and candy corn?"

    She conceded.

    Two RCs and a moonpie and you are good to go. It's the breakfast of champions.

    Uh, beg to differ. A buddy used to be the manager of a convenience store, one of his morning regulars started every day with a Moon Pie and a Schlitz Malt Liquor 'Master Cylinder'. He'd sit on the curb outside with the MC in a brown paper bag and do breakfast until his roofer company buddies came to pick him up.
