I'm figuring out this place like a blind man in an anechoic chamber. What's that smell?

It's kinda funny how the Proboards layout/theme used to be so easy but now it's not ... kinda feelin' like Pale!
I'm also laying on the couch semi-watching Looper with Brandon ... pretty sure we've watched it before, he just doesn't remember. Thinking about starting up season uno of Glee when he goes to bed!

lol Well hello my dear Amy! ((hugs)) It takes a bit getting used to but the other platform was continually frustrating me on the back end. When we decided to have a fresh start it was time to come back to proboards just because I'm friggin tired of having to program fixes. Of course there's still the "mature" issue, but basically we've decided it's not our problem; if people post things that are too risque, we're going to just remove them. There are other places for that. I like the new thread labeling system,though. Getting people used to using it, that's a different story.

Thread labeling ... what's that?!?

Oh when you post a poem you can click the little "post options" gear thingy and label the poem. So if you post a poem in the Formal Poetry board you can select the label for "Acrostic" or "Villanelle" or whatever. In the Brighter Things board you can select "Beauty" or "Nature" or "Philosophy" or other labels that you feel more appropriately fit your poem. Labeling is now a Proboards standard feature but I thought this would be a neat way to use it. Reduces the number of boards, too.

Jamie you should call this haven of rest after an English Pub. Every pub has its sign with a suitable name, I am sure our members can supply one for us.
The Pub Culture in the United Kingdom is an ancient tradition that goes back centuries and they were often the meeting place for heroes and crooks alike. Plays have been penned and battles planned in the pubs of England. Pubs have played an important role in history and some date back to the 15th and 16th Centuries; originally private homes where ale could be bought at the door, later on some became coaching inns and resting places for travelers, where they exchanged horses and spent the night. The term ‘a square meal’ dates back to these times when Pub Owners provided slabs of bread with chunks of meat and a tankard of ale to weary horsemen.
One enterprising pub landlord in London changed his pub’s name to ‘The Office’ So at 10pm a customer rings his wife. “Hullo darling, soon be home” “Where the hell are you?” “Oh, I’m still at the office”
The Drunken Duck.
The story behind this one is quite cute: the landlady one day found all of her ducks dead in the yard. Unaccustomed to waste, she plucked them ready for cooking. As she finished, the ducks began to revive and a search of the yard revealed a leaking beer barrel surrounded by webbed footprints. She was apparently so contrite that she knitted little jackets for them until their feathers grew back.
The Quite Women
The Sign depicts a serving Maid, without a head, carrying a platter of food. As you may guess a pub that’s very popular with the males, but there’s a ghostly tale attached to this. The pub is named after a woman called Juthware who was decapitated in the nearby church by her brother. Her body picked up her severed head and placed it upon the altar before finally dying. And now, inevitably, she haunts the place. But at least she does it quietly.
Just a few more
Poosie Nansie's The Sociable Plover Sally Up Steps The Cat & Mustard Pot The Jolly Taxpayer-- No very popular with American tourists I’m afraid.

So....I'm thinking of taking a nap on this couch, looks comfy. Don't wake me 'till dinnertime
