TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Ever since I hit the quadruple digits with my reputation level, I've glanced at the number each time it changes to see if it reminds me of a year. I got inordinately excited when it was at 1776, and now I'm looking at it and thinking, "Oh, 1860. Tensions between the Northern and Southern United States were heating up. One more upvote and the Civil War will start." So, uh….what happened in your reputation year? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kobold King he/him Posted September 7, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 3315. The first cyborg was elected President of the Neon Union, marking a point of significant progress for the InClusionist political party. President Thomas Benson (serial number 219034359uu320) went on to reflush the Titanian economy and mend relations with the Empire of the Tainted Blood. It was an interesting year in many ways. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dellexe he/him Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Unfortunately my knowledge of Thirty-Fourth Century history peters out after the Benson Cyberarchy. Good textbooks on the era are impossible to find. You know, if you're trying to lower/slow down your rep growth you should really stop making snarky/comical comments. You already got an additional eight points on the last one in this thread. - - In 174 A.D. Marcus Aurelias wrote Meditations.

You know what you need, Kobold? A rant. A nice, long, typo-ridden rant about how Brandon Sanderson eats gym shorts. That should do the trick. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delightful Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 So in 1132, (seriously, I disappear for a couple weeks to discover I'm a waffle cook? Hello Mistborn cooking abilities ) 1132 BCE: A Bronze-Age Greek settlement associated with Jason and the Argonuats was burned down, and Ramses III died. Wonderful year, that one. 1132 CE: Hangzou was declared capital of the Song Dynasty in China, Champa invaded Vietnam, and the ruler of Deheubarth, Rhys ap Gruffyd was born. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kobold King he/him Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) Al Capone laughs at your judgment. True but somewhat unrelated story: I spent much of my youth under the impression that Al Capone was behind the 9/11 catastrophe. The subtle distinction between Al Capone and Al-Qaeda was not one my sugar-addled mind could cope with. Moving away from my crippling intellectual failings, here's Grace Coolidge with her pet raccoon. EDIT: I did create a thread for downvoting me, but the day I stop spewing quips, one-liners, and hilarious photos of Calvin Coolidge is the day I put my hand in that crazed raccoon's mouth.

Also true but equally unrelated story: I refused to eat hot dogs and hush puppies for years because I thought they were actually made from our canine friends. I see your Grace Coolidge and raise you….whatever the heck this is. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
