1. Thou shalt stay On Topic. Unless the original Bitch is lame. Or you have something funny to say. Or somebody else goes Off Topic first. Then all bets are off.
2. Thou shalt not bitch about other people going Off Topic. For the OnTopic Police are loathesome in the eyes of Tim.
3. Thou shalt have Something To Say. Or be funny. One or the other. Ideally both. Otherwise, STFU.
4. Thou shalt not flog a dead horse, kick a dead dog, or otherwise belabour the same point over and over in every thread until everybody else wants to stab you in the eye with a fork.
5. Thou shalt not call the Office, lest you disrupt the Nap of Tim.
6. Thou shalt respond to bitches in the comments, and not by means of a new bitch. For that would make thee an Attention Whore, and unclean in the eyes of Tim.
7. Thou shalt honour the Bitching Hour. Between the hours of 1AM and 2AM, thou shalt suspend thy bitching, and post not. For he who bitcheth during the Bitching Hour shall be cast out, and flamed, and reviled as a Fake Name Sockpuppet forever.
Amen

I need to know who wrote this NOW. Come forward.It’s floyd, isn’t it. Or wait, it’s Miles. Or Miranda.
*tentatively raises hand*don’t flame me…
Also, I would like to add, Thou shalt not use the word “them” interchangably with “those”. God, I hate that.
Miranda, you rule.
Bravo Miranda… On my morning toast I saw an image of you in the melted butter… I didnt know why,,, but knew also that I had never laid eyes upon anything so absolutely golden… Now it all makes sense…Anyway I better go now and list it on e-bay before I forget and feed it to the dogs by mistake…PS I likes the fact that there were no rules about Coveting… Myself I like to covet and I never thought the rules about coveting should have been on the original list… I am glad we now have a list that we can all live by…
Liked the fact… (duh)
Brothers and sisters, can I get a hallelujah?
Sounds good to me. But keep it down, willya? I’m trying to nap.
If I may be so bold as to add an amendment to one of these commandments:4.i.: When such a creature enters our midst, he shall heretofore be known as Tired Redundant Old Long-winded Loser, or “TROLL”, and regulars must cease all discourse with said creature immediately upon realization that said creature is partaking in the otherwise interesting discourse.
agreed. we may need some sort of TROLL signal though- possibly in the form of someone commenting in aforementioned thread that that is what’s going on, for the noobs among us who aren’t able to identify a troll, of for those like myself who seem unable to resist….. damn them and their trolly goodness…
AWESOME!!!
