It is rather appropriate that more than 25% of our total posts have come in this thread!

Is there any way to list all of our threads in descending order of how many posts are in each?

Not sure the software supports that function.

Congrats. And I have to ask - where is The Rock? Up here newfoundland is known as The Rock but I highly doubt that is where you are so I'm curious.

I imagine it's Little Rock, the capital of Arkansas (as in ArkieDukie).

DevilAlumna is thrilled that the University of Washington has the opportunity to be the team to bounce UNC from the tourney.

DevilAlumna asks that all CTN'ers say it with her, "Go To Hell, Carolina! Go Dawgs!"

"Go Dawgs" is to Washington fans what "Roll Tide" is to Alabama fans. It is perfectly acceptable to say it in passing, in goodbyes, in greeting, in response to, "how's your day," etc.

Yes indeed! Yay for our family's second miracle baby. The first was my now 6 yr old nephew, born a year after his mom (my SIL) won her battle with stage 4 Hodgkins lymphoma.

Interestingly, Georgia Tech's songs, generally speaking, are far more profane, despite the fact that their students, generally speaking, are far dorkier.
Dorkier? How about geekier?

Hmm. . . the Georgia Tech grad I'm thinking of is geeky, but not dorky.

When are we going to get our cute little spaceman smiley?

My oldest son is on two teams at his high school, the science team and the ultimate frisbee team. We have an ongoing argument as to which is geekier. Then there is always the cross country team to consider. Andrew maintains that ultimate frisbee is the geekiest of the three. They have an A team and a B team. Andrew is on the B team, or, as all the geeks in my house refer to it, the penultimate frisbee team.

The Science Team's big event, the Science Olympiad, is today.
