St. Patrick's Day Snog Thread - Kiss Somebody, They're Irish

romana · March 17, 2023

Yes, the wanderer has returned in time for a classic snog thread. In honor of St. Patrick's Day, send a kiss, a hug or a friendly handshake to a special board member or to one and all.

If you need refreshments, Momma brought chocolate chip oatmeal cookies to share. If you're really nice, she may let you have a Guinness, as well.

Sending a sweet snog to my old pal, @tsar4.

André Toulon · March 17, 2023

This is unprecedented.

Or maybe it does have precedent...wtf do I know.

Hey.

scoobdog · March 17, 2023

You being here is the good news I didn’t know I needed.

Doom Metal Alchemist · March 17, 2023

I don't know what a snog is.... But I'll send a balloon to @TrigunBebop :balloon:

I like most of the people here, but…..don’t touch me….

Not trying to be rude, but…..yeah……

Raptorpat · March 17, 2023

I give snogs to my Irish brethren. I also give snogs to @Doom Metal Alchemist because he doesn't know what they are.

Blatch · March 17, 2023

They're playing Irish music at the grocery store I work at today. Pretty cool, even if it's mostly fiddle-based songs that tend to blend together. Oh, and U2, of course. So I suppose I'll send a kiss to @PokeNirvash, the reasons for which should be obvious. May your cup of content ratings be filled, as will mine.

[congratulations, you coaxed me out of my anime-and-toonami-general hole. also, hbd toonami!]

"Kiss me i'm Irish? That's more like it!"

**Motorboats chicks ass**

LMAO

Gemini · March 17, 2023

Well, as someone with Irish ancestry, I appreciate this thread. I'll gladly snog @Vela because, well, why not? I'll also give a hearty handshake to @scoobdog, @André Toulon, @The_annoying_one, and @atomicinumatt. (Oh, and @Doom Metal Alchemist and @Rogue_Alphonse. And I might as well say @Raptorpat.)

The_annoying_one · March 17, 2023

I don’t wanna say who I’d kiss, hug, snog, or handshake, for fear of accidentally leaving someone out. >_>

atomicinumatt · March 17, 2023

I SHALL SNOG THE ENTIRE WORLD LIKE THE DIRTY WHORE THAT I AM!!!

Not much, but it's something...

romana · March 18, 2023

A snog thread is an ancient Babbling tradition from the days of yore, in case there are young ones here.

I'm trying to revive myself as a board member, and this seemed like a good way to start. Of course, when I showed up here, I was a wild woman. Now I'm just an old married Momma, but still keeping track of a flock of board members over on Facebook ([as]stock group).

The boards have meant a lot to me over the years....

Hey, tsar4, any chance of reviving the old speakeasy?

atomicinumatt · March 18, 2023

Oof, I am a bit drunk guys.. I sorry!

Happy St Whatever!

As I recall, that was dropped on [asmb] because it was an rpg. Not sure I really want to bother.

We've cleared out some space so you can pen them all in here.

I completely left Babbling in 2007.... Didn't start poking my head back in there until the end of 2011, when signs of the end of the boards were nigh.

You should have heard of snogging before 2007.

Raptorpat · March 19, 2023

The_annoying_one · March 19, 2023

I’d like to state, for the record, that I have no idea what snogging is.

EDIT: And just as I post this, the definition appears, making me look like more of an idiot. >_>

Circa 2004-2005, maybe. Only lasted a few weeks before Karen shut it down. Pretty innocuous. Essentially pretending a particular thread was a local dive bar.

Meh, I guess I wish you felt like being bothered...I feel like shit like that could pump some life into the main boards.

I agree with Buddy. Not only could you this a thread, you could even put it in clubs. This is a perfect way to incorporate some of the more seasoned ASMB vets.

Raptorpat · March 20, 2023

I think it could be a good idea to have like a dedicated hangout thread or club with the retro theme, depends on what the content would be. Obviously no one is actually RPing, but like to have a thread where you metaphorically pull up to the metaphorical bar to talk about _______ could be cool.

Probably makes sense to do a thread in GD and if it blew up into something large and/or unmanageable then it'd expand into a club space and divied into multiple threads. But a single thread to start is probably a cool idea, @romana said so so it's gotta be true.
