Ryerson was right.

switters, too.

I've been here a lotta years and I usually dismiss the "it was better in the old days," posts, but this place has become truly disturbing. Way beyond the normal neuroses that always gave BotF its charm. We've been utterly overrun by fucktards, sock puppets, psychotics, and cartoon characters.

Fare you well, my honey, fare you well my only true one.
All the birds that were singing are flown, except you alone.

Gonna leave this brokedown palace,
On my hand and knees, I will roll, roll, roll.
Make myself a bed by the waterside,
In my time, I will roll, roll roll.

In a bed, in a bed, by the waterside I will lay my head.
Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul.

River going to take me, sing sweet and sleepy,
Sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back home.
It's a far gone lullaby, sung many years ago.
Mama, mama many worlds I've come since I first left home.

Goin' home, goin' home, by the waterside I will rest my bones,
Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul.

Going to plant a weeping willow,
On the banks green edge it will grow, grow, grow.
Sing a lullaby beside the water,
Lovers come and go, the river roll, roll, roll.

Fare you well, fare you well, I love you more than words can tell,
Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul.


See you in November. :) n/t

Thinking of leaving

What we need is an alert system to let us know when the trash has been carried out. I'm thoroughly disappointed with even some of the regulars' acting out.

you big pussy.
I ask you, Lono, if BOTFers can right this ship?
by Inkberrow
YES WE CAN!
Hope I'm not running you off.

Well now. That was positively WVMickoish. You made me laugh, Thanks.
There are a lot of reasons to stay

Demos, you, FB, August, Sawbones, Isonomist, etc

25% of the posts on this board are worthwhile.

And that is not a bad thing. If everything were worth taking the time to read, then we would never get anything else done.

Me, too

Not in a formal sense, but there is slim pickins' these days. It started out irritating and now it's just sad to read. After the election maybe things will get back to normal, but now I don't stop by here but once every couple days and it still isn't worth the time.

That's one of my favorite tunes, by the way.

Hey, we found the dog! There's some nice people in your neck of the cactus patch. Good luck pal and keep up the good fight.

Awww....isn't that cute?

Another arugula-eater declares himself too superior to go slumming with the working man Schleprocks they claim to understand and care about......

You bring up a something I've been wondering
by dumb_blonde

Why is this called "Best of the Fray"?

The best what?

Once upon a time...
by Archaeopteryx
...many years ago, in the time before the Human Network, there was a place called Best of the Fray. There, many giant-headed geniuses like those of the aliens of Talos IV on Star Trek communicated with each other, much like those same aliens, not with spoken words, but merely by use of their throbbing, giant brains. But, as big-brained aliens always do, they grew bored with each other and with the mere mortals who now remain. Now we are left with our legends--legends of the great wisdom and violent clashes between the Titans of yore. There were many Titans, and they were great. They had names like Bruto and Blender, and Kevin of Arno, and the Greatest of Them All, Colonel Bull Kuntz, who some say wasn't real, but was actually Hunter S. Thompson reincarnated, even though he wasn't technically dead at that point. Someday. so the legends say, the archives will be restored, and the true history will be revealed to us. It is a sad story without a moral.

LOL! Can't wait for the movie - or the miniseries on the Sci-Fi channel!

I'm just glad to know that it wasn't always like this. Too bad my back didn't give out years ago, but well....them's the breaks.

Some of you regulars are very funny and very clever. Some of you are very smart.

Some are very annoying!

Thanks for the story!

Hey! Who you callin'
by tartuffe

"mere mortal", asshole?

That was
by biteoftheweek

brilliant!

Henceforth, that post will be linked to when anyone asks why this place is called the Best of the Fray
