Maybe having no redeeming social value is its redeeming social value.

This thread reflects the ultimate party conversation.

I landed here and find that this thread has a huge social value, well...at least for me. Where else do you get to interact with such a diverse group of good humored people that are not just stuck on photo-snobbery.

Whoaa easy there!!! Not sure what you mean, this thread has far more social redeeming value than any 10 threads in the rumor section. In fact I believe it has distinct medicinal value as well. When I go to the rumor section, or that other section that begins and ends with 'F' my blood pressure goes up. When I come here it goes down. And it's much cheaper than a doctor visit.

Yep, what they said.

I'm just gonna leave it at that.

I like to think of it as the folks that don't feel like the highbrow conversations going on in the living room or the loud drunken political debates in the hallway. So they sit around the kitchen table and chat while raiding the trays of cheese sandwiches.

Whoa! And in 30000 years it will be found wellpreserved in the tar, then displayed to represent Our Time forever.

He yells at the top of his voice..

" The only people who come from Timmins Ontario Canada are whores and hockey players."
A big huge guy, a least 6'4 and 280 pounds quietly says " My wife is from Timmins." And stare at him.
The guy calmly replies "What team does she play for?"

Is that the one you were referring to?
