TEN YEARS!

[Ghoulish Delight]

To all the hep cats and kittens that once made this the swankiest little dive I've ever had the pleasure of frequenting, thank you. :snap:

[LSPoorEeyorick]

Happy LoTaversary!

Happy Lotaversary Swankers!

[€uroMeinke]

The evening LoT was born shall remain one of my fondest memories - thanks to everyone involved.

[scaeagles]

I'm curious - how many of the regulars on here knew each other before joining the boards that resulted in the LoT springing forth?

[€uroMeinke]

I knew Lisa before the Boards and that was about it

[€uroMeinke]

BTW - if you're on Facebook but not in the LoT secret group let me know and I'll add you - there's a huge sharing of pictures going on there at the moment.

[SzczerbiakManiac]

Thanks for 10+ years of awesome community!

Sorry I missed the actual anniversary. Yesterday was an insanely busy day. I was at the office from 7:30 am to midnight.

[Strangler Lewis]

And happy birthday to anybody else who might have had a birthday yesterday.

Don't believe him about the secret group thing. It doesn't work.

[€uroMeinke]

Secret Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/168157823199852/)

[alphabassettgrrl]

I didn't know much of anybody before I joined the boards but I'm sure glad I met you all! And I'm loving all the pictures, even if it is on FB.

[Ghoulish Delight]

I'm curious - how many of the regulars on here knew each other before joining the boards that resulted in the LoT springing forth?

Save for those of use who were pre-coupled before joining MousePad, no one really knew each other. Here and there there'd be some people who joined on as friends-of-friends (blueerica was friends with HBTF, LSPE roped EH in...but they met only through Buffy a online community)*. But yeah, for the most part we were all almost entirely strangers to each other without MousePad.





* Wow, it actually felt quite weird to refer to people by screenname...

I guess it's not a secret anymore! ;)

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

Happy LOT-o-versary!

I joined the Pad and eventually snubbed up on Disneyphiles Single Rider group.

[skinnylycan]

Happy Anniversary everyone! I hope everyone is doing amazingly well!

[Cadaverous Pallor]

The pictures explosion at the Facebook page is incredible. You're all such a big part of our life story. We're so lucky to have been a part of it, and to continue it as we can. Did I mention we have passes again?

Happy birthday to the LoT.

[Alex]

Well, schedule a camping trip and maybe I'll join you all for something again.

[Ghoulish Delight]

What if we go to the park and let you sleep under one of the benches.

[Alex]

No, the tradition is that if you guys do something at the park I don't go. Or, perhaps, I do something at the park and many of you show up and I'm too busy to really notice you.

But going to Disneyland just for fun isn't really in the cards. That's why zoroaster invented Disney World (and most of the time that isn't even for fun either).

[SzczerbiakManiac]

Alex, if you come to the meet-up, I promise to being Love Brownies...

[blueerica]

"You must spread some Mojo around before giving it to Cadaverous Pallor again."

This is funny considering that prior to today, I haven't given mojo in close to a year.

Better start spreading that mojo... badum-dum! I'm stopping now before this gets way worse...

[katiesue]

This has been such a wonderful place full of so many adventures. I"m enjoying all the photos.

[Snowflake]

Ditto, seeing all the photos on LoT FB edition has been fabulous. You're all swell!

[BarTopDancer]

No, the tradition is that if you guys do something at the park I don't go. Or, perhaps, I do something at the park and many of you show up and I'm too busy to really notice you.

Or you see someone, after they spent quite a bit of time bar hopping, say hi and their response is something about not being able to talk to you off the internet. :D

Happy birthday LoT.

And GD - you not only used screen names, you used my OG screen name. I tried to mojo you but it said I had to spread more around first.

I'm loving the photo explosion on Facebook.

Here's to another 10 years :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

[Ghoulish Delight]

Err...I was just being historically accurate since that was your screen name at the time you invited blueerica over. Let's go with that.

[RStar]

Here's to another 10 years :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

I wonder where we will be in another 10 years? Using our flying cars to gather for Disneyland's 70th, perhaps? ;)

[lashbear]

...I'll have a flying Zimmer Frame by then.....

[blueerica]

This board is booming, once again!

With all the things being floated around on Facebook, it's made me miss this medium. I will likely be posting and checking in more often.

The lack of intimacy and sometimes gets irritating to me on Facebook. Plus, I'm finding an increasing gap in understanding between myself and the general public - a gap I don't find here.

Mucho love-o.

[scaeagles]

BTW - if you're on Facebook but not in the LoT secret group let me know and I'll add you - there's a huge sharing of pictures going on there at the moment.

I am frequently mocked for not having a facebook....it's just never really appealed to me. I don't get my family and their love of that and other social media such as instagram. But thank you for the offer.

[RStar]

...I'll have a flying Zimmer Frame by then.....

Oh, so you decided to have the operation after all? ;)

[Scrooge McSam]

I am frequently mocked for not having a facebook....it's just never really appealed to me.

YOU TOO!!! We're more alike than you'd like to admit, you know :p

[Ghoulish Delight]

Scrooge! We miss you.


scaeagles...Hi.

[scaeagles]

Just like old times :)

[scaeagles]

YOU TOO!!! We're more alike than you'd like to admit, you know :p

I have no problem admitting that you must be handsome, intelligent, and witty then.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I remembered to come back after posting!! Maybe this is a revival after all.

[DreadPirateRoberts]

I remembered to come back after posting!! Maybe this is a revival after all.

Possibly

[RStar]

It is starting to feel that way, though I admit the excitement is coming from the pictures posting on Facebook as well. Good thinking, use their bandwidth and storage space, then come here and chat! :D :snap:

[cirquelover]

I am very thankful for LoT and all the friends I have made here! Miss you all!

I am on facebook now, under the alias of the car but have no idea how to find you all.

[alphabassettgrrl]

This is a wonderful group. I am so glad to know you.

[innerSpaceman]

LoT revival? Anything's possible!

[Snowflake]

Possibly

GASP! DPR! :D

This year marks the 40th anniversary of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
The play, The Rocky Horror Show, debuted in 1973.

[RStar]

Wow, I can't believe it's been 40 years! Though, I only new about it once the film came out.

[3894]

Happy Swankaversary, my darlings!

I hope that's not one of those GHASTLY daiquiris made with honey...

[RStar]

It's most likely apple juice.
