Any board members have a confession to make?

Really, in all seriousness, I have no idea how to even go about replying to this.

So, I won't.

It could be westernquinoxrocks... he's gone missing for a while and probably has a speed addiction to fund, considering the amount of posts he had per hour.

[atsonicpark]

Hahahaha.

[pokkeherrie]

Actually I'm not ruling out anyone from here, except for Moshe maybe... he's an honest man.

[atsonicpark]

Moshe may be honest.. but he is a bit mysterious...

[pokkeherrie]

yeah, come to think of it.... it would be the perfect cover for him, wouldn't it?

thats right. I always thought that to myself while typing "thank you" replying to any posts by him.

[_slavo_]

It could even be sonicl, who knows?

[blunderbuss]

It can't be a real SY fan, you'd have a hard time finding anyone who'd even heard of them in Essex, let alone buy a t-shirt.

Unless they got it from Top Man, of course.





EDIT - Oh, it's Epping in Australia, not Epping Forest in Essex. I never imagined there would be more than one place called Epping. Never mind, I stand by my little joke about getting the t-shirt in Top Man.

Naturally, It's in Australia... [insert your favourite joke about convicts and penal colonies here]

To be honest I wasn't even aware that there also is an Epping in the UK. But then, I guess it would've been almost inevitable that there was one considering the British origins of many geographical names there... Oddly enough I was familliar with this Melbourne suburb that goes by the same name. Not that I've actually ever been there, but I did have to travel the Epping railway line to Thomastown for a shitty backpacker job* I had there once long ago.



*In the unlikely event that anyone over at Thomastown firewood supply happens to be lurking at this board, this one's for you.

[Flow my Tears]

I have to confess : it was me

...even if I shaved myself since that day

[acousticrock87]

I think there are Sonic Youth fans who don't frequent the board.

But then, the culprit would say that...

He would say that, too...Reverse psychology sarcasm...

And that...

Oh fuck, I think I did it. I don't even remember doing it!
