No one clearly answered my tweaker question. Here's one of the many lists of definitions on Urban Dictionary:

Tweaker:
1. Person who constantly stays up cleaning, washing, organizing, powertooling, sorting or otherwise keeping themself busy doing menial tasks.
2. Someone who constantly makes slight alterations on (usually a very specific) object, i.e. computer, software, automobile, etc.
3. A compulsive liar, thief, or both.
4. A methamphetamine ("tweak"), or other form of speed, addict (who displays all of the above in an obsessive-compulsive manner)."Tommy what are you doin' man?"
"I've been real busy sorting bolts!"

So which meaning are you using, newsfreak?

"Society for the Protection of Obnoxious Observations: ( SPOO ) "

Good one!

1970, a good year for hair

Hey, damn it, you screwed up my 1970 post!

"Society for the Promotion of the Unintentionally Sick and Sexually Oriented” (SPUSSO) "

Eeeeewwww. But also LOL.

SPUSSO sounds like some kind of art medium gone wrong.

1974, the year of my birth, yeehaa

"Jeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzze…only 48 more posts until Huh?-2000 & you "

SJ Jim, you can't be a SPHUH member, or a SPUSSO or a SPOO member for that matter, if you only contribute one puny post to the cause! Come on now!

"Carter Reagan Bush Clinton, PLEASE Noooooooooooooooo! No more walks through yesteryear inflicted on us or I am leaving early! "

Jeeez, you're kind of a prima donna today aren't you?

Ok, I think I have most of you beat on having the best year to be born.

1969 Huh? Huh?

It kind of explains a little depravity don't it?

Post 1980.

You can't be a gen-x'er and not have a certain fondness for the eighties. Wall o' bangs anyone?

Let's not forget Duran Duran.

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!

The site stopped working for a few minutes! I almost had to like, go do some work or something.

Gasp, gasp. Whew.

Yes, very depraved birthdate…Did you get some “rest” last night SactoQT?

O ye of the dirty mind.

My husband is an overgrown kid and likes to skateboard (yes skateboard) and wednesday's are his night to skate. I get time ALONE on wednesday's. Little piece of heaven.

1969 explains everything, SQT.

Everything!

The 80s were kind of miserable for me, honestly. I do have some fond memories of Duran Duran, David Lee Roth, and Prince, among others, but mostly my life didn't start getting fun until the 90s.

Wow, that's really cool that your husband still skateboards! My husband (a bit older than me) still plays basketball but keeps breaking body parts. :-( Will be a sad day if he ever has to give it up.

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!

Gasp, gasp. Whew.

Don't scare me like that! I am working on my underachiever status.

"got to know you better and appreciate you “as a person”. (Don’t you love the phrase?)"

That *is* a really weird phrase. I mean, I guess it's good that you're not appreciating me as a goat, or an automobile, or a tree, right?

But you know, I smashed my finger in a car trunk--I didn't cut it.

I graduated in 87' so I had a few college years in the 80's. Way more fun than high school.

"Women always seem to go for the “overgrown kids”…"

I dunno.... I think it depends on the woman. I've got plenty of friends who prefer overgrown assholes.

"I guess it beats the alternative…”Fencepost”"

Huh? Er, I mean, Sphuh?

Overgrown kid's beat Bad Boy's any day of the week!

So who gets to do the much-anticipated 2000ndth post?

"Except when I say it of course…"

Hmmmm.

I do!

So who gets to do the much-anticipated 2000ndth post?

I guess it depends on who has the best trigger finger (heh).

Ah-ha. I don't know any meth users, so I guess this is a whole phenomenon I'm missing out on. Thankfully.

It was me! My "I do" post was 2000. See, how clever? I answered my own who gets the 2000ndth post question with the answer "I do."

Terribly, terribly clever.

A hard day's work done. Whew.

Oh darn it, other people answered before I hit reload. Well, now my last post sounds even dumber.

Ah-ha. I don’t know any meth users, so I guess this is a whole phenomenon I’m missing out on. Thankfully.

You are lucky, my brother was a meth user. It's not pretty.

And dumber and dumber and dumber.

"I was deeply hurt by what you said earlier, so I was just giving you a hard time. "

Deeply hurt? Like curled up on the floor of your shed weeping violently? So hurt you can barely type?

(Dumber and dumber and dumber was referring to me and my posts--not your brother SQT. I'm sorry your family had to go through that.)

Hey, let's stop and 2020 and move to our new residence.

It's a nice round number, and no one will want to disturb it.

NO MORE POSTS!

DOH! Okay, 2022 works too.

2025, are we supposed to meet with Vulcans yet? Or will that be another century or so?

Huh 3000?

One more Huh, for old time's sake. And 2050 is a better number than 2049.

We need to go for Huh-2222. No need for a post-frenzy...just a goal to gradually work towards...with a day-by-day, baby-steps approach...to be achieved by mid-late next week.

2222 indeed is a very nice balanced number. I would set my heart on it except that it seems impossible to stop Huh from growing. Soon as we reach 2222, we'll have to aim for 2424.

I kind of like this new slow-growth policy. It's like we the Marin County of threads or something now.
