I know we're all about local news and stuff, but maybe the meeting was just painfully boring.

Kind of a bush-league move taping the other guy nodding off. How is that a story to anyone but us jerks on the internet?

Well, there are a lot more of us jerks on the internet than people reading a suburban newspaper web site. I'm going to guess this was one of the most popular thing they've run since the election if Gawker et all ran with it.

Just wanted to introduce myself, been a lurker on here for a while. Are there any subjects that we can't talk about on here?

Keep it work safe.

Don't make personal attacks.

Don't write short, content-less comments.

Stay on topic.

Don't spam with links to your own stuff.

Everything else is gravy.
