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.

Yeah, you're right. I think I set those up one day years ago when the previous one seemed stale. Any suggestions?

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.

Thanks, Rass.

And yeah, I'm fine with changing our user level things. I think I did The Big Lebowski names years ago. Suggestions?

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