It was Wesley wasn’t it? or Graemento? I remember Ravello was up there too, although I’m pretty sure it ws Wesley… I LOVE him!

~every virtual conversation begins with “My friends on the COTH board…”
~You know where Mosby’s is AND how to get there… and you don’t even live in Virginia!
~You know which BBer has a Tiara.
~The word ‘uber’ starts popping up in your virtual conversations.
~You start thinking Alex Trebec, Hillary Clinton and Alan Greenspan really ARE posting here!

when you can actually add something new to this thread!!!
“Don’t take life too seriously, you’ll never get out alive.” - Van Wilder
“You can pick your nose and pick your friends, but you can’t wipe your friends on the couch.”
You remember the origin of the peeps…
You miss people you’ve never even met.
Just a lookin’ fer a Glebe…
… when I get together with another BBer and dish on BB happenings.
As if I’m not a big enough goofball for being riveted to it, in my spare time, I feel the need to discuss it. And discuss it. And discuss it some more. 
You were one of the original members of the BGSG, but your greenie finally isn’t so green anymore. 
The thought of wearing rust breeches is beginning to have a certain appeal. 
You have friends all over the country who seem more real to you than the people you see every day.
The sight of Peeps always makes you smile.
And you have a COTH cap! 
you have finally met fellow BBers and keep forgetting to use their given names and slipping back to BB name
(which, by the way, confuses Portia’s trainer no end)
even the moderators call your child by her pet name, and know her marital status.

You have to be smarter than the horse, and since that will never happen, pretend you are.
No one seems to notice, but I’m constantly staring at my computer and either laughing or crying. I think they just think I’m a sensitive thing…and I’m starting to get a touch of carpal tunnel 
It’s the “you know what we were talking about on the Coth board today” when my husband and I get home from work. One night I actually logged on and had him read some of the stuff from that day…he was howling. Shoot, he was just laughing at all the subject lines.
Superheroes of the universe, unite!
You email a friend that lives a thousand miles away and say “pst…have you seen the Boards?” - and she knows exactly where to look!
Or, when you are standing at the in gate and realize the announcer just introduced the entry as someone you know who posts on the board (hi Heather Dobbs - Woodedge June show) 
-When your bookmarks are set up so that you don’t have to move the mouse to click on COTH.
-You know what a toque is, and secretly are in search of an orange one.
-You remember the Thanksgiving Invasion, and can sing “Oh Canada” in your sleep (even if you are a southerner).

Please tell me you weren’t going to post that pic of your new thong! As I understand it, Mr. Merry was rather proud that he was shown to all of us, and lurks to see if we’re still admiring him.

You know you really matter around here when riders you don’t know, call you, “Great Warrior Volunteer!”

Our Frying Pan outings have been wonderful!
How about when you are temporarily sent to another state, you post on the BB for help!
(Hobson and N2Jumpers, it was so nice having you!, Florida BBers, look after our Clive’s Mom)

Dearest Pony Rock, I believe it lasted less than two months! ie: Queen Heidi and Queen Merry!

you read Colin’s Priceline.com post, and start thinking seriously about altering your show schedule to fit the accomodations you turn up that way…
…you know what the letters TH and MJ stand for, and why threads about them tend to dissolve in flames.
…you know that Moesha is male and Fred is female.
…you have made a Sea Urchin joke.
…you know what it means to jangle a curb chain.
…you know what kind of beer Colin drinks.
…you use the acronyms USAEq, USET, NGB, and USOC frequently.
…you know what the Inverness Problem is.
…you loff Willem.
…you remember the War of the Earbunnies.
Next?
In your post about DQ’s, are the first two attributes part of the third?
How about this one?
Your keyboard needs to be cleaned at least once a month, because you constantly drip PB&J onto it while posting over your lunch break?
What is that odd whistling sound? Oh, heavens! My pencil punched a hole in my forehead!
Well, I DO post here, and I am most insulted that you didn’t mention me in your post, Kryswyn!
