6. Don't start too many OT threads because someone will complain in an OT thread that too many OT threads are being started.

Damn you CO!

I thought mine would last longer before someone caught that!!

LOL...

And yes, your #66...oh sooo true!

67) Do not bring up jonathan brown or joey jameson as examples of Ron Wolf's horrendous drafting

68) If you have only one thing to contribute, don't let that stop you from contributing it as frequently as possible.

quote:

Damn you CO! clap1

Hey PB!

69) lombardi would've done it exactly opposite ... and better.

70) do not ever bash the Brewers because they have a bunch of guys in the minors that are developing nicely.
71) understand that it is not the Vikings fault that the league or the refs have it in for them and that's why they can never get over the hump
72) know that Detroit Pistons fans aren't poorly behaved; rather they are just misunderstood.

73. B.J. Sander will never be more than a camp leg.
74. Every time Brett throws an interception he should be benched for Nall.

75. this is brett's last season.

76. And Jamal Reynolds is still a bust!

77. See Rule 78
78. See Rule 77
79. Rule 77 & 78 shall be strictly enforced!!

I think this one deserves to be archived.

80. Never criticize a player who went to the University of Miami.

Dag nabbit!! I was about to say that I HAVE fried them, in cast iron with butter, and gotten a nice brown sear similar to a grill

On a separate note, I've ordered a bust of Jamal Reynolds!

81. A team, like a train, that is getting it right, is getting "on track", not "untracked".

82. If you need a special avatar, see TimthePackerfan

83. If something in your post gets edited, it can be said to have been [poofed].

84. If you post a poll or edit a post or something out of the ordinary like that, sometimes it will develop a "mad face" smiley icon that you didn't put there. Relax, it happens for some inscrutable reason, and there's nothing you can do about it.

85. Scoop and Oshbaul--ever seen them in the same room together?--went to the same mysterious Far Eastern school?--or just separated at birth?

86. No profanity. Putting in a @'s or $'s doesn't make it not profanity.

87. One of the people who declares Brett gone or washed up will eventually be right, so quite a few people want that particular medal.

88. LIONHEART doesn't come around any more but Scoop knows more than he's saying.

89. Lorenzo's Babe doesn't come around as often any more because she's busy planning her wedding. But she still has this thing about sweaty pictures of Brett Favre and has reportedly still been seen from time to time, skulking around Lambeau with a butterfly net.

Appendix 1.a Idot is spelled that way because that's the way a former Mr. Know-it-all poster (Mr Ftball?) spelled it. Spelled that way, it's the one pejorative that is allowed to be directed toward other board members.

90. Oh yeah, this used to be a written one--well, words to this effect--but now it's not: "I will not make derogatory remarks about fellow posters; I will not assume multiple identities.

91. Do not prematurely proclaim Favre's retirement...even if your mom says so.

92. Tony Mandrich, Jamal Reynolds, and Torrence Marshall are busts.

8a. Understand you should know hardware count before you question the dominance that is UW mens hoops. Also, its alright to accept that Marquette and UW-M are second fiddle in the state of Wisconsin in College Hoops.

34a. Another team's coach is NOT considered a classy guy just because Viking fans that post on X4 too much, say they are.

51a. A violation of Rule 51 should carry a punishment of detassling corn every summer for life !

8b) Understand that 1 national championship over a 100 year period doesn't make you better than teams that have been more successful year in and year out over their respective (team) histories.

34b) Another teams' coach is not assumed to be classy because they were once affiliated with the Purple.

51b) NOT maintaining rule 51 in principle should result in a penalty of having your college football posting rights revoked!

8c.) Understand that Rule 8b has been thrown out due to the fact it is misleading and could be misconstrued as pertaining to any team in Wisconsin. Please refer back to Rule 8a as gospel(Especially the second part).

93) Don't be afraid to use the "Edit" utility to its full extent so as not to look like a fool worldwide.

94. Use "there" & "their" correctly....

There house is over their?

95. The Bears are the Packers' chief and most-hated rival. Unless you are under 40 and don't really understand the concept of "historic rivalry"; then it's the Vikings.

96. The Vikings are the Packers chief and most hated rival. Unless you are over 40 and enjoy living in the past.

97. The BADger board is "moderated"

98. Lacrosse is the male stripper capital

99. Some people have over 8000 meaningless posts

97)

This one actually is unwritten so I can only tell you if you call me on the phone. 800-Speakeasy

97. Are they're examples of that? Always provide examples.

98. The contents of Acorn Stew must never be questioned
99a. Someone must always ruin a nice thread by starting a political discussion
99b. Everyone must then respond to the post, thereby making the thread unable to be repaired


BTW, these rules are no longer "unwritten"

100) Ketchup can be put on Bratwurst.

Ah, Cable you might want to refer to rule #49. The first sentence in particular.

Catsup or ketcup is not to even be on the same table as the brats unless someone else is having a burger or dog.

These are unwritten rules of course, but rules concerning brats are etched in stone.

101. Stupid is spelled stoopid

The good senator from MN yields to Old Navy.

Hey cable did you read what I put in the Rosenshaus saves a little boy thread about Edina MN?

97a. Only one person on the Badger board has ever had to be moderated.

102. If someone posts a personal attack, politcal comment, etc., do not quote it in a post telling the person what a bad, disallowed, disgusting post that was. Also, do not quote the person who told him so, including the quote of the quote of the original, and agree. That just drives your friendly neighborhood mods nuts when they have to poof it 3 times. If they aren't in the mood, the whole thread is likely to be locked or poofed.

It's really very easy to hit the "report a post" triangle and/or say without quoting them, something like "Zoolander, your last post (or "Your post near the top of this page" or "on Page 1", or whatever) is totally inappropriate."

I just went and found it. Great story. Congrats to your mother on her 80th.

103. When you're the first person to reply to a post, go ahead and quote the post anyway, in your reply, as we've forgotten it's content already.

That darn Zoolander has to be one of the worst posters ever here.

104. As with other homophones like their, there, and they're, x4 users should be versed in the correct usage of its and it's.

105. If you find a story that is OT and really off the wall, don't bother posting it, Fedya probably beat you to it.
