    Who's with me? (sigh)

    What is spinning ? At the moment - My Head.

    I was trying to put a stop to the madness all those months ago but prolly only added fuel to the fire. This is cracking me up. Literally!

    I call my bathroom Jim instead of John so I can tell people that I go to the Jim first thing every morning.

    If you say the word 'gullible' very slowly it sounds just like oranges.

    Take some deep breath and have a lie down.

    You are of course correct it was just a very simple (mundane) question. I must say I have picked up some great new tunes through that thread. Is it showing its age? I am not sure. I let others decide if it should be retired. I think it's a great starting point and introduction to RR for any newbie as it can get sometimes a bit heavy and anal around here.
    You are not by any chance an Officer of the "Thread Police" are you?

    Have a good weekend

    I like the thread. Great place to just go post about whatever you're listening to that you'd like to mention and its been a good thread to just kinda check in on and see if anyone's playing anythign you've been curious about or anything that you haven't pulled out in a while. Its not like anyone would start at the beginning and go through the whole thing, but to just click on every now and then, I like it.

    I'm actually pretty confused why anyone would have a problem with it.

    ...each time someone responds to it. No need for confusion, I'm just mystified that after all these years, something as banal as "What is spinning" has been kept alive this long. I mean, how may other similar posts have there been? 50? 100? Prolly, but none has ever survived much more than a few weeks. And I;m not busting on Bernd for posting it because I've done much the same more than once.

    Look, for those of you thinking I'm making a big deal of this, relax. Take it for what it is, have a stiff drink, and do whatever it is you do.

    By the way Nobody, WTF is up with the Cardinals? I was actually hoping they would stumble weeks ago as opposed to putting me thru this torture. I just don't see them lasting very long in the playoffs is they manage to make it. Their pitching is too unreliable, both the starters and the relievers. Jason should be fine next year with the surgery, but for cryin' out loud they're killing me.

    Post maybe you guys don't, but i do

    i learn out of the 'what is spinning' thread, and regulary read it, so if it dissapears, and there are 50 of those threads, there will be confusion, and then we've got nothing, and btw, if you press the 'last page' button you will automatically be going to the last page of a thread.

    I know lots of people would want to kick me out of the city for this, but the only time I notice there is baseball going on is when the traffic downtown comes to a standstill.

    Only time I got at all into it was when I was working at 7-eleven and every 2nd guy coming in would wanna make small talk, starting with "who's winnin' the game?" After a couple months of responding with a blank stare and "what game?", I tried to at least pay minimal attention so as not to appear too much of an idiot.

    Would like to go see the new stadium sometime just to check it out, but not sure if I wanna have to watch baseball to do it.
