<< <i>Is it still alright to type, "Peac+ck" as in 'Peac+ck Ikes'?
I remember when the boards first started I couldn't even type by own name. >>
I always wondered how you did. I can't. I was discussing our local wildlife on the Open Forum and tried to type "c+ckroach" to no avail. I finally settled for "bugs", or something less descriptive. It also tripped me up when I was discussing Irish farthings on the World Coin forum- those coins had a European Woodc+ck on the reverse.
I never figured out how people circumvented the vulgarity checker or WHY, really, though I will admit I was curious as to their method.
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
Reminds me of the time we had a substitute teacher in G.A.T.E. drama/arts class and I was expelled for acting out Lord of the Flies with some other classmates...some teachers just do not understand
That was a classic. Eddie certainly did a good impression of Bill in that one. What is interesting between those two is how both are very funny comedians- one profane and one squeaky-clean. I guess it's a generational thing. Eddie Murphy is a very funny guy but his comedy works in spite of his profanity, not because of it. Unfortunately, too many of his imitators don't understand that.
I'll bet Bill Cosby laughed when he saw Eddie Murphy impersonating him. Unless that was a real phone call, which I sort of doubt.

<< <i>Geez, lighten up a little.
Imagine that adult males acting like juveniles?
I've never heard of such a thing. >>
