What happened a year ago?

[Rick Munroe]

I never look at the bottom of the Forum page but I just happened to just now and saw this:

 

Most users ever online was 243, 06-07-2010 at 02:21 AM.

 

So, what was going on a year ago that there were so many logged in at the same time?

IIRC, somebody issued a throwdown so everyone logged in all their identities that night.

What's a throwdown?

What's a throwdown?

 

Isn't that something involving Bobby Flay???

[+ purplekow]

Have you ever eaten his food? That is more of a throw up.

Who the hell is Bobby Flay?? Don't make me google this stuff!

American chef well at least an American TV chef and a restauranteur

[Rick Munroe]

OK, so now I know that Bobby Flay is a reality television personality. But I looked up "throwdown" in the dictionary and it said it's "a performance by a DJ, rapper, or other artist" or "a fall in wrestling, indicating defeat." I guess this was a good time to ignore deej.

Throwdown is a challenge Bobby Flay's TV show is Throwdown with Bobby Flay I have eaten at his restaurant the Mesa Grille and I got sick which made it Throw Up with Bobby Flay. So there you go a few

degrees of separation

Sorry that you got sick, I have never had the "pleasure" to eat at any of his restaurants, and so I will avoid the experience if I have a chance. He has a kind of Howdy Doody quality that is quirky, but annoying at times.

I ate at Mesa recently. I didn't get sick but was unimressed. The food was good, but hardly anything to write home about.

Here is where threads meander. No one has yet to simply answer Rick's legitimate question...or maybe there is not an answer.

That was funny!

 

At that rate, it wouldn't surprise me that in the end there are two people left here who keep talking to each other thru their multiple identities ...

[Guest Rich.]

Shit, SD, you've uncovered Rick & Rich.'s secret!

A Throwdown

 

A throwdown (for those of you asking) is something in wrestling that is used. I don't watch wrestling but I know because...um..

 

.....crap....

this is awkward now

Daddy may be the only one who can truly answer this question...but he may not know either... it is just probably a coincidence that so many were on at the same time.

[Guest DuchessIvanaKizznhugg]

There was a gradual build up to that number, and it was noticed and commented on here and here

[Rick Munroe]

Ah-ha! So it was all the Duchess's fault.

Thank you, Your Grace, for the links, very much appreciated. I'm guessing that someone, somewhere in the web-o-sphere, mentioned Daddy's (tweet, tweet!) and it went mildly viral as a load of thrill-seekers came over to see what they were missing. I'm betting the Duchess didn't disappoint!

What! You don't know what happened late in the evening of June 6, 2010?

[Guest Rich.]

Jerry, mate, you do know that we are ALL thinking of hurting you, right?

Um, that was the night my central a/c broke down and I woke up at 3:30am drenched in sweat. Was everyone logging on to commmiserate with me?

Catch me if you can.

Is "my central a/c broke down" a new euphemism for "I was getting my ass pounded into oblivion"?

[Rick Munroe]

Catch me if you can.

 

I know where you live! (Well, not really, but you drove me past it.)
