Thread dredges?

[caspernz]

I kinda like thread dredges...for they are like women, get better with age.

No actually it's funny to see that, for the most part, the same shit gets discussed over and over.

Can we get points for bringing up old threads? Must be about time for a poll on old threads?

[ellipsis]

...im wearing gear i bought or stole thirty plus years ago, maybe older...them's old threads...

But tell us whether you can do any dredging in them old threads?

[Skiwi]

I'm looking forward to this thread getting really old then someone dredging it it up = irony

That isn't ironic.

Irony is a woman singing a song about irony, and getting all the examples wrong.

Irony is a woman singing a song about irony, and getting all the examples wrong.

Irony is a motorcyclist riding safely above the speed limit and once the police decided he was being unsafe, pressured him to go an unsafe speed and crash. Speed kills, unfortunately the speed limit seems to kill more.

WTF? Drew is a closet Alanis Morisette fan?

No no, that's just plain old bullshit.

I'd agree with the premise of colouring the old threads.

if there was say an old thread say that one missed in the way newbies are prone to miss in excitement, and in its over 10 pages there was one piece of information that sat amongst the bickering... it might be mighty easy to miss.

Just saying, thread dredge is nigh inevitable.

Drew may have meaning the female who was singing Reckless and sung the line 'she don't like, the fat cow in the hay yard' instead of 'she don't like, that kind of behaviour'

[pritch]

It seems to fit so I thought he might have meant this:


An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
Isn't it ironic, don't you think

[Chorus]
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought, it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well, isn't this nice."
And isn't it ironic,l don't you think

[Chorus]

Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic, don't you think
A little too ironic, and yeah I really do think

[Chorus]

Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
And life has a funny way of helping you out
Helping you out.

Yeah, that's the one that springs to mind whenever someone mentions irony.
