# No offence to this or any other poster...

# Haven't even tried.
I can bandwagon with thebest of them... but I just got on the board and found it full of rather unfunny tenuous versions of this.

Since when was a bandwagon an excuse to not actually be clever or funny?

# "I Want to Believe", Worf (the first time round), and the Original Abbey Road come to mind...
...I'm sure there were others. Nothing wrong with running with a concept... I just don't see why it's an excuse not to apply one's internal quality filter.

# something about worf?
(from the other day)
He was nervous about the flight, but the tempurature was good, the sky was clear, and there was a nice tailwind. all in all, it was...

# yes
the Mr Men one, and Abbey road, to name two. they weren't just a lot of mindless puns and unphotoshopped pictures with captions. there was a lot of work and creativity that went into both of them.
most of the rest have been shit, though

# Do you want to be the other grumpy bastard?
All we need now is a balcony/box.

Perhaps Rob could move the next bash to a venue with a balcony...

# is that irony?
babushka has a balcony. as someone who is probably gr33dy will attest.

maybe we need an irc channel running ticket-style across the bottom of the screen.
