My kids love that movie and we actually watched part of it last night. It has aged remarkably well. "So-crates Johnson" always cracked me up.

1. We should still change the name things. Don't let this discussion die.

2. While we're at it, I really wish we could add strikethrough effects to text, if that's possible. Mostly for sarcastic/comedic effect, but if there's any practical use as well.

Just a heads up that my local anti-virus (AVG) was convinced there was something shitty in the "A Top-Tier Pro Sporting First" thread, I guess on the current page (3). Twice it popped up to tell me it intercepted something nefarious.

My best guess was that it was from what appeared to be a dead link to a picture in a 2016 post by Pruitt at the top of the page. I googled the originating domain, and it shows as for sale by "HugeDomains" which was referenced in the anti-virus msg.

So given all that, and since Pruitt posted a video yesterday which seemed to be a similar reference (Big Ern from Kingpin) to the one from 2016, I decided to flex my moderator powers and remove the link in the 2016 post.

And you want to take that away from us?

Fun Fact: When I joined the Swamp, the fun names below our user names were characters from classic TV shows. I thought people chose those, not realizing it was based on the number of posts, so I thought I'd be different (I didn't understand why so many people chose the same TV character), so I selected The Sybian as my favorite TV character, not realizing I was selecting my username. 16 years later, I'm stuck with the name.

Details are unfortunately fuzzy, but there was an all-time great flameout from some guy(?, I mean yeah, who are we kidding) who I think was already in some sort of argument and then mistook the label below his user name as some sort of personal insult and double-rocketed his way out of here.

Maybe it's because your post is right below a video that reads "I HAVE SINNED", but televangelists could be an interesting list.
