Things we secretly believe about the forum

I secretly believe that nobody can spell berkeley.

I believe that this is the only forum where members would actually look into buying other domains, just to point them here for a joke. I love it.

I once owned tentacleporn.org for that very reason. Though it didn't redirect here.

That is a shame. You know some very interesting (Japanese) people are trying to go that URL.

That's like talking to the pitcher about pitching a no-hitter the at the bottom of the 9th.

Or going out to arrest someone the day before retirement.

There's a reason I own MoonLaser.com, you know. Joke domains are the best domains.

Everyone is on the same sleep schedule, around the world, that belongs to this forum. Seriously, around 1045-1115pm EST this place shuts down until 530am EST (except those two guys in the v12 mods thread). As someone who has trouble sleeping at night, it kind of helps, but it does make things rather dull. Unless there's an afterhours board I won't know about until I hit full dork status.

In reply to RevRico:

You have to send in 38 upc labels from the magazine as well as 29.95 shipping and handling to get the secret decoder ring for the other after hours board.

But woe be to help who does it earlier than full on dork status.

That thing has gotten expensive.

I'll save you the trouble, "Be sure to drink your ovaltine."

I believe that children are our future...

I believe that you and I can last forever...

I believe we get jokes better here than any other place online that isn't joke related. My reference: I was on a Reddit for an upcoming video game and some one started a thread title 'Post your specs here' and everyone posted their PC specs (like processor speed and what graphics card).

I posted that this: "Male, 6'-1", 34yo, 190 lbs, Whitey, 'Murcian, PS4, Married, Hetero, 1 kid and one on the way."

I got downvoted.

I believe that I've met way more of you in real life than I realize, either through work or car shows.

Fixed it for you.

In reply to RossD:

Thanks! Certainly didn't intend to overlook those valuable resources for meeting GRMers!!

I really am Michael York.

My legs are too short to wear cargo shorts-- they would drag on the ground.

One of these things is true.

That is because Reddit sucks. If you would have done that on FARK, people would have thought it was funny.

I'll save you the trouble, "Be sure to subscribe to GRM."

I could have also added "or pulling rusty Volvos and Oldsmobiles out of my garage".

I believe I have bought cars and/or parts from almost all of you, and my shop is now packed to the rafters, so come take back your stuff- QUICKLY!

This evil that lurks in my shop is entirely your fault.

There are less Miatas in the world then the number of times it has been recommended as "the answer" here on the GRM forum.
