New Owners...old owners...anyone??

[iamkathi]

I admit I lurk mostly, so I don't understand.


Can anyone explain these Oprano points to me? Is it a good thing? What are they worth?

I promise I am not trying to start drama...but I just don't understand the point system.

[JoesHO]

good question, I wish I knew, I think they need to be removed ...

From what I understand it was something from the prior ownership regime .

[sarettah]

Cameltoe shot - 1 point
titty shot - 10 points
pussy shot - 15 points
Full body shot - 20 points


Rules state that you must be the actual person in the pic.

You get 100 points and the FFN sends you a dozen Crispy Cremes and a very valuble handwash only mug :okthumb:

Well thank you for clearing that up!

[sarettah]

Well thank you for clearing that up!

You are quite welcome, I'm sure :yowsa:

[Peaches]

Removed points for not knowing what they are ;)

[iamkathi]

well alrighty then...see if I stop lurking in the future.

[NickPapageorgio]

Pics of you making out with any type of wooly white dog is an automatic 100 points though. I think Sar left that out. Just want to be thorough. :whistling

[iamkathi]

I could be wrong...but I think that is against the law in Georgia.

The picture part...

[sarettah]

well alrighty then...see if I stop lurking in the future.


Joe called it right for you. They were a promotional thing from the past owners. People could give you points or take away points depending on if they liked your post or not. Garnered enough points and you could get a mug or a cap.

That was what they were.

Now they are just something to confuse people with :)

[iamkathi]

it worked!

[JoesHO]

it worked!


I can still send you a coffeee mug if you would like one .

( no points necassary)

They are cluttering my Garage as we speak.

[sarettah]

it worked!


Dammit, I hate when they do that and this time I fell for it :headwall: :headwall: :headwall:

I read this... ok, a couple of times. It reminds me of those math problems from high school. You know the ones where the train is traveling at x miles an hour.. If the train stops in Detroit how many oranges will it take to feed breakfast to the Boy Scouts in New York?

hahaha, yeah, i remember those

think of it like this, if we were in high school again, Oprano Points are "cool points" and you take away or add to someones coolness by adding or taking away cool points

[JoesHO]

Points suck!

[gonzo]

Points suck!

Ive given you points to corrupt you.

[Hell Puppy]

if peaches ever came to my house and put a henkel or wusthof in the dishwasher, I would have to use them on her ;)

[Peaches]

No, I am not allowed to have Henkels. I am not allowed to have anything dangerous at my house - that includes sharp knives, chainsaws, small cars or stairs with ice. Or apparently a drill with a cement drillbit :(

[JoesHO]

what is a henekle?

[Peaches]

Mr. and Mr. Smartypants fancy knife owners apparentlyh don't even know how to spell it ;)

Loss of points for doubting the power of fine cutlery.

Exactly - my Ginsu knives cut everything I need them to cut just fine, thankyouverymuch.

you can knuckle slice with ANY speed with a ginsu though....i can slice up a tomato in like 3 seconds with my shit ;)

peahces, check your email

[JoesHO]

Costco, $14.95 a set and I have yet to not be able to cut something I wanted to.

see, the thing is though, once you get trained in the art of knives and slicing, you never go back to cheap shit, you just can't

I have never once had the need or desire to slice a tomato in 3 seconds ;)

I read it - way too vague, IMO. Reminds me of The Amazing Randi thing:

Randi performs this demonstration in, say, a classroom of college students. He announces that a horoscopist has done readings on each student. He calls their names and hands each one his or her particular horoscope. Each student is asked to read his own and is then asked to rate its accuracy on a scale of one to five, five being the best.

Almost all the scores are fives and the rest are fours. Then Randi asks the students to pass their horoscopes to the student behind them.

After a few seconds the students realize that every horoscope was worded exactly the same.

Then again, I'm a skeptic and 90% of the surfers out there would probably eat that stuff up :)

This one wasn't accurate at all. Sure, I could pull out a few of the aspects of it and say it applied at some point and time, but I could do the same with that page and almost everyone I know :)
