Oh, absolutely. It's designed for us all to get snarky together. Plus, the rules are different in "Open Discussion".

More subtle, because there are still times when you don't snark.

Expecting no snark is like expecting no laugh when the photo of the van is handed up to the Judge...

Either that or a face palm...

Brilliantly funny.

Don't know why Rice is waiting until page 2, it's not like we care. Once a post has been answered (in a regular forum) you can snark, on the Open forum... hell, go for it.

However, at this point, if the snark isn't brilliant you may get demerits.

I hate profiling! In my case I keep getting pulled over in school zones, and I'm sure I'm driving at the speed limit!

Badger.. I was just about to ask if it said 'free candy' or 'ski trips' on the other side of the van.

I mean it's kinda like writing NAMBLA on a van and camping in Kidsville... :coffee:
