I love the sandbox. Morning coffee just would not be the same without it.

So true, forums sometimes bring out the worst in people. I hate the fact that people now purposly spell words incorectly or phonetically. If I spell something wrong its stupidity damn it!

I do enjoy that cartoon series, very entertaining.

Another good one is xkcd

Reminds me of a Little-Gamers comic way back where one of the main characters missed his flight to Otakon in Japan because he was embroiled in a flame war on some forum. When he finally realized what happened, he immediately went on a different forum and started bashing his roommate for leaving him there (even though his roommate had taken every possible measure to get him off the computer short of unplugging it).

Aaaah, some forums really are the dregs of the internet. Nice comics, I'm gonna go see some more of those xkcd ones...
Edit: Here's another good 'un!

Special note to all those who read XKCD...hover your mouse over each comic, as there is an alt-text additional joke, punchline, or thought from the author on each one. Many people know about it already, but a lot of people don't, and find it's like reading the comics all over again when they go back and look.

**machowner** · 03-03-2008, 12:46 AM

didn't realize that, thanks for the heads up!

I think Strong-Bad has a similar hidden joke. I haven't watched him in awhile, but I recall someone pointing it out to me a year or two ago.
