A certain other longtime user is starting to remind me more than a bit of tolbs in terms of a predilection for posting spur-of-the-moment stream-of-consciousness commentary on all manner of utter inane trvialities. (To be clear, I'm not suggesting said user is a tolbs sockpuppet. Just remarking on the similarity in posting style.)

I think I know who you're talking about. Though I'm not gonna say anything about them publicly. You could PM me the user, but even then I don't think the information would affect me that much because I don't know who it is.

Perfect summary of K12 in one thread as far as I'm concerned:

Point being, turns out it wasn't a big deal and no one really cared. This thread is the first I'm even hearing of a mountain in Arizona being renamed. And... okay? It's a mountain, I don't think it's going to care what it's called. We could rename Mt. Whitney to Mt. BudShusterIsAStupidFatass and it wouldn't change anything geographically.

Not counting anything above The Twin Cities, but how many from the ferries of Louisiana to where the crossings become more frequent have you used?

That's from the "How Many Mississippi River Crossings Have You Crossed" thread that started this interesting trend:

I'm probably the person who is most surprised that I don't have at least one kid out there.  I didn't per se "want" kids for most my life mostly because they are hyper expensive nowadays but wasn't fully opposed to the idea.  I didn't exactly take all the steps to prevent parenthood from happening in previous relationships prior to being married, it just never did.  Now that my wife and I are in my 40s it appears that window is most likely closing.

speak for yourself. I will not be having kids anytime soon... much less be married. Do I see that as a problem?

NO. #MovingOn

I exercised self-control by not starting the Wisconsin River thread just so I could have something to brag about on the internet. (Others could take note.)

I was tempted to create one for the Genesee and dedicate it to @Rothman.  Or maybe the Onondaga Lake Outlet...

Hey now, I would think you and I would dominate that thread because of all the Rochester city street crossings, plus we already have the Hudson River thread to give us New Yorkers something to gloat about.

Incidentally, I do have an interesting story to tell about the Merrimac Ferry. But maybe a thread like "crossings with stories" would be better for that.

The story:
The only day I ever crossed the Wisconsin River on the Merrimac Ferry, I did so three times. I was doing Crown Rally and my brother was in another vehicle. At the time, cell service was spotty throughout the Driftless Area, so I had no way of getting in contact with him in certain areas. Lo and behold, he decided to stop and provide roadside assistance for a cabriolet that didn't have a roof in the rain. He called me when he was right before the Merrimac Ferry, so I decided to backtrack and go back to the ferry and ride it again to experience it with him.

Somebody I know/knew drunk-drove their car down the ramp and straight into the water. Couldn't believe they survived. (I was not present.)

you don't want to wind up checking into the hotel the following week with a reservation for BALLYHOO GERHARD FITZSIMMONS with a card that says RUFUS XAVIER SASPARILLA on it.

The only thing new in this go-round of talking about Limon, the Daylight Savings Time of control cities, seems to be that people want PVP enabled this time. Nope.

I was bored and in need of brain-rotting sentences, so I went through this thread and picked my 5 favorites.

I don't text while driving.  I only type posts on this forum while driving.

Lord Carhorn's law: As an online discussion grows longer (regardless of topic or scope), the probability of a Wallethub ranking approaches 1.

So what was the reason for bypassing Boulder City rather than upgrading US 93?

Boulder City was in the way.

I live across the street from a supermarket. I could walk if I wanted to, but driving saves me a couple minutes, doesn't wear out my calves, and allows me to bring home a lot more stuff.

9 is a prime number.

I don't believe in yucking someone's yum.

Come to think of it, is yumming someone's yuck bad?
