What the fuck did that prick google?? The wind chill factor from one day in 1985??? When you find yourself doing that, just pull the fucking trigger.

I just jogged my memory for time-saving purposes, before I typed this :
February, Blizzard of 1978, Temp - fucking cold, because, you know, blizzard! / Wind chill - who the hell cares about wind chill?, ALL the neighborhood kids went out on foot, to play in the extreme weather. Ice and snow prevented adults from driving (so did the state-of-emergency proclamation by the governor), so the streets became a sledding paradise. Rough estimate of our daily outdoor frolics – approx. 5 hours or so. My mom was right, if you're not a blithering idiot, you can be out in it. Walking. With a sled. Because you're a kid in a northern city, where nasty winter weather, and school snow days, are what all kids live for.
Oh, and with something arcane called "weather reports", the folks had been able to stock up on food before the storm hit. Nobody needed to go outside unless they wanted to.

Just remember, the round trip MYKE walked was three whole miles. Three. Miles.

Someone started a thread about whether the SH music forum should be divided into different categories. Noone was saying anything particularly controversial even for its standards, when MYKE posted a big brag about how he had reported the thread, and to expect all posts to disintegrate. It has disappeared.
I don't have much previous knowledge of the guy but it seems he gets a hard on thinking he is some kind of VIP on there.

Ah, well. Knowing MYKE to be the immeasurable twat he is, I'm sure Disco hated MYKE reciprocally.

I hate it when some self-important SHite decides a thread offends his sensibilities, and snitches it out to the Gorts. There are seven million threads there; if one sucks, go to another (and discover that they all suck, and all should be deleted). At least move it to forum business or something.
I actually kind of side with the Beatards to some degree on this, although not necessarily for the same reasons. I do think it would be a pain in the ass to have some doofy SHite like MYKE scold someone for mentioning the Beatles in the wrong forum, and I do hate to see another example of exceptionalism for the Fabbies, who really need a good dose of being treated like any other band.
However, there is a dilemma. Since the Beatards lack any self-control and impulsively start threads about whatever popped into their head on the crapper, the place really is deeply infested with Beatardation... I sympathize with the SHites who just want that shit out of their sight.
I guess I chose the wisest option, which was just to blow the stupid place off once and for all.

How about they subdivide the forum between the likes of MYKE and then everyone else? Oh wait, isn’t that what this forum is for?

MYKE is: 1) Head of the spelling police 2) #1 gorf wannabe 3) head "thread reporter"

But MYKE's own SHite title/sig line (or whatever the fuck they call it) is "offended by the easily offended". Yet, he doesn't seem to be offended by his own easily-offended sensibilities. So, could MYKE's SHite title and his own actions be a paradox? Maybe, but it's more likely down to MYKE just being an insufferable asshole.

MYKE’s “getting angsty” (his words) over there in the Fleetwood Mac reissue thread (that he himself started, even though it was already being discussed in another thread). Loads of people are discussing this reissue that came out yesterday, which they all received and are thrilled with (besides on SHite complaining about the cardboard quality of course) but MYKE hasn’t received his copy. Even though they “hit” his card yesterday. Still no dispatch. And he even includes an angry red faced emoji with a moving stream of expletives. It’s pretty satisfying to see.

Because it's that important to listen to Fleetwood Mac yet again.

It’s all about the 5.1 mix. At 3.14 of Gold Dust Woman you can hear an engineering assistant blowing coke up Stevie’s chocolate starfish. You don’t get that with a cee dee!
