I just gave myself the nastiest papercut EVER while opening the packaging on the magazine. All I have to say is freaking OW!

Are you sure there wasn't an article in there about piranhas?

We're starting threads on papercuts now?

Is that where we are?

It's the dark days of the messageboarding industry.

I blame myself.

It's all cyclical, but I place the blame on my shoulders.

Actually the cover feature is big dinosaurs with really scary teeth. I think the papercut was meant as some sort of object lesson. The lesson I take away from this is, "If a paper dinosaur can hurt me this bad, what would a real one do? No cloning from ancient DNA for me."

What are you talking about? SP does it all the time. :)

I just dropped a fork in the kitchen.

Should I start a thread on that?

Or does this post do the trick?

billy, I started the "Whatever" thread for just such instances as threads about dropping forks, drinking root beer, the funny taste of the glue on the backs of stamps, and any thread someone posts that resembles a ScarletPeaches thread. that way, all the throw aways can go to one place instead of taking valuable first page real estate.
Feel free to discuss you fork dropping there...any time.

When in doubt, use the Whatever thread.

Thank you.

I don't think people realize how scarce bandwith is and that it's not an unlimited nor a renewable resource.

The earth will run out one day.

An incovenient truth.

National Geographic is a literary publication and therefore Jermaine Jackson to a writing forum. You dropping you fork, Billy is fascinating and should be on the news, not buried in a forum. I'm heading out to watch UFC 78!

WIMP!

OK, now that I got that over with - put some of that liquid bandage stuff on it and it won't get sore (unlike my foot which has turned from Frankenstein green to a putrid green/yellow/purpleish-black mixture).

OMG I can't believe you're actually comparing that measly little bruise on your foot to my GREAT BIG HUGE HORRIFIC PAPER CUT.

I mean, seriously.

Put salt on it.

That's the quickest way to heal it and it will also make sure it doesn't get infected.
