I am now stepping into a hopefully punishment-free zone. Sorry rosko. I have to mention the p-word. This is hopefully the only post I'll have to do so with.

The Explanation of the Pornhipe.
By Tim Highfield
The Q&A on my webpage
The story behind the P-word:
| Quote |
I said in the Phases topic in Mike's Style(s): I was at the house of one of my friends, a party-like gathering, and I and one of my other friends brought over some music, namely Tubular Bells, Ommadawn and Tubular Bells II. Now the friend whose party this was (and isn't the Mike Oldfield fan) had heard Tubular Bells before when we were working on a major group science assignment, and he distinctly remembered the Hornpipe. He grew bored listening to Part 2 (the introduction), and wanted us to skip forward, now knowing that there were only two tracks and that the Piltdown Man was to come anyway. However, he didn't exactly get his words right, and asked us to fast forward to the Sailor's Pornhipe, which caused hails of derisive laughter. So now whenever Tubular Bells is talked about amongst my friends (which is hardly often, usually just between the two others mentioned here) we refer to the Sailor's Pornhipe.

One of the friends (the MO fan) has since registered here- cp.
From there, the P-word started appearing with alarming regularity, usually thanks to me or cp. Until...

Thus I, the person responsible for bringing it to Tubular Forums, decreed:
| Quote | Fine, rosko, It actually seems very overdone now that it has been broadcast over the whole planet. I'll refer to it in private as the Pornhipe, but I think, for everyone's sanity, including mine, as of March 2, 2001, anyone's time, Tubular Forums will be a Pornhipe-free zone.
Topics containing the p-word can still contain them IF they were posted before the watershed.
If you want to use this word (which I sincerely doubt) you have a few hours left to do so.
Anyone using this after the watershed is eligible for punishment decided by rosko.

The P-word is dead. Long live the H-word. <gag>
