Re: The Big(?) Issues Thread
Haruhi can't be on first... she's too busy finally getting her second season~ I can appreciate Kyoani's plot-point three year gap and all, but...
Anyway, I think... Sunohara was on first? Or Yusuke? I don't remember; the baseball special was the first episode of Clannad After Story, so it's been a while since I watched it...
But the correct answer is yes. Who is on first...
That's what I want to find out.
And that's what I'm telling you.
Who's on first, What's on second, I Don't Know's on third...
You know the fellas' names?
Yes.
So then who's playing first?
Yes.
I mean, the fella's name on first base.
Who.
The fella playin' first base for St. Louis...
Who.
The guy on first base.
Who is on first!
Well what are you asking me for?
I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. Who is on first.
All I'm trying to find out is, what's the guy's name on first base.
Oh, no, What's on second base.
I'm not asking you who's on second!
Who's on first.
I don't know.
He's on third, we're not talking about him.

"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

Re: The Big(?) Issues Thread
Silver posted the first part, BTW. It's a classic Abbot & Costello routine. If anyone hasn't seen it, you really have to. Looks on "Who is on first?" on youtube or something. Or just watch some Abbot & Costello movies, they're hillarious.
But, back to the matter at hand. For the purpose of this dicussion, who is on first?

Re: The Big(?) Issues Thread
Aside from a guy who's name is Who, I'm still sticking with my Haruhi/Time Lord/Duke Nukem Forever theory.

That's what I'm trying to find out!! Alright, when you pay the first base man, who gets the check?Josiah wrote:But, back to the matter at hand. For the purpose of this dicussion, who is on first?
Yep.
Who gets the check?
Every penny. Sometimes his wife picks it up.
Who's wife?
Yes.
Hmm... This signature just got really short...

Re: The Big(?) Issues Thread
There are many nuclear weapons around the world (enough to blow the Earth up ten times over?) The scary thing is... countries such as North Korea are acquiring them. The scariest thing is... some nuclear missiles have gone missing and possibly were stolen. They could very well be in the hands of terrorists. I'd say this is a pretty big issue... what exactly could be done about this?
(sorry if this is too heavy for this forum, but big issue to me means big big, you see)

Re: The Big(?) Issues Thread
There are couple things I should tell you about this forum, Eclectric. First is that our members are alarmingly mature when necessary and have, in the past, discussed deep issues like religion, politics, and global warming with eloquence and social grace.
Second thing is, we tend to avoid that when there's something more silly and fun we could be talking about instead.
Also, the question mark after "Big" is there to imply that this thread is more easy-going; the more deep discussions tend to happen in the Official Rant Thread or in separate topics created specifically for those issues. Like "The Psychology Thread" or "Climate Change- Man vs. Nature?" Although we... could discuss missiles here if you want to... but for now, "I'll break your arm, you say 'Who's on first'!"

Oh! I know who's on first! The Doctor!

Re: The Big(?) Issues Thread
FYI, Eclectric, when posting in a thread for the first time you should make a habit of reading the first post of the thread to get an idea of what it's about. For example, to quote from the first post of this thread...
And, back to the issue at hand, awesome Abbot and Costello gag aside, for the purpose of this discussion I never did say what first is. Everyone seems to assume it's first base, but what if it's a different place, or an object, or a person? What is first anyway?
As you can tell from that line... A: This thread isn't actually about real big issues, it's about making a big deal out of random things. B: I'm the only one who can actually post new issues in this thread. However, as Silver said, we've tackled plenty of serious topics before so if you feel like making a new thread in which to discuss nuclear weapons or other serious issues, feel free to do so.Josiah wrote:So, I figured the forums need a thread where we can discuss big issues. And when I say big issues, I naturally mean whatever random issue I happen to throw out there, whether anyone actually thinks it's big or not.

Re: The Big(?) Issues Thread
I'm guessing that first is an awesomeness line-up, i.e. "The Doctor is on first on the awesomeness line-up."

^ I assume you can read what he posted, otherwise you would not be on 73h 1n73rw38z.
You're right Gar, The Doctor is first on the awesomeness lineup. Second, third, and fourth would be Francis, Louis and Bill from Left 4 Dead (Nobody likes you, Zoey!)

Re: The Big(?) Issues Thread
Oh God, I love that Abbott and Costello thing. I had to perform it with another classmate in reading one year back in Elementary. I was Costello.
Anyway, back to the question. That's easy. Nine Inch Nails is on first, followed by Jane's Addiction.
... It's the next upcoming concert at a place near me. Not going though, not familiar with the bands.
