ForumGarden

Let's create a forum where we can honor fellow Gardeners through the fine tradition of roasting.



I don't know if the term is international. A roast is normally a formal dinner with a head table. The honoree is seated next to the speakers lecturn and has to endure as speaker after speaker takes the pee out of him/her.



We can do a similar thing here for special occassions such as birthdays or just because we want to . Someone starts a thread for an individual and we can all post a roast.



What do ya'll think?

Sounds cool, Acc. So long as people realize that the roast is all in good fun...not a place for mud slinging. I would just not want it to get out of hand.

I would participate, though.

That would be so fun, AC!:)

For more clarification, here's a link about Pamela Anderson's Roast on Comedy Central.

Fabulous idea, Acc!

Should we wrap it around birthdays or just choose someone?

Ha-let us make AC the Roast Master, he gets to select who gets it!

*ducking as the gauntlet is thrown at snooze*

Arnie, is roast a familiar term in the UK?

Maybe he is thinking sushi.......................

We can do it to celebrate birthdays, or maybe really high post milemarkers - like when Chonsi hits 15,000 day after tomorrow. :wah:

I think for some footballers, it's meat and two veg, usually dished out in a posh hotel :-3

Oh, Unc' needs to be seated near the head of the table, he is the King of Puns, this will be so much fun!

Hey Arnie - Now that you're a grandad, do you feel more comfortable about spending many hours in Mothercare than you felt when you had no reason to be in there?

cool idea! :-6

i'm still getting to know you all but it sounds like fun ..im game

This is so up my alley. :-6

This is a GREAT idea!!! I wanna roast!! I wanna be roasted!!! What fun, and a fabulous idea Acc!!! :yh_dance :yh_clap :yh_party

You know what would be cool-to have it live, in a chat room, not the one with Mother! I wonder if we could tie Mother up for an hour or two.............

Acc great idea I say we start with NOMAD...:sneaky: or You, or Arnold, or Clancy a man first, we women will fall apart if something is said that will hurt our feelings.:-1

I would have to go double check, but I think there is an alternate chat room, one without Mother earth..or whatever her name. If memory serves, you have to click on the bar at top to switch rooms.

Just checked, I was right. Near the top of the chat area there is a bar thing that says Rooms: Spirits in the Garden.

Just at the right there is the up/down arrow thing. Click on that, and you switch to the room :Relaxing in the Garden. No Mother Hen there.

Well, admin?



Shall we light the fires?:-6

i dont think this is a good idea, i think it will cause a few fall outs after all the usual ego massaging has passed

dont we already see enough ego massaging on the boards, do we really need anymore? light the fires & watch the flames

just my 2 cents worth

It's a separate forum, set up for this specific reason. People who don't enjoy it don't have to read it.



I seldom read the sports threads, for instance.

thank you for clarifing that accounts :-4



be careful in there if it goes ahead

I vote for Nomad first!:)

Yes, snooze is right. I heard several say they wouldn't want to be roasted.

Why doesn't AC be the moderator, and he can ask his selection first if it would be all right. That way, if they say no, nobody but they know about it.

I don't think libertarians make good moderators, do you?

You would be a great moderator! And you would get the opening roast!

i used to like a good roasting.

unfortunately, i put my back out when roasting with a couple of famous footballers a couple of years ago.

you may have read about it in the redtops?

My mum was the subject of a roast last week, it was great, she's got the video somewhere.

I think this sounds like great fun and it's a way to get to know each other better for us newbies. How would having someone (or more than one) volunteer to be the first and then just vote on who you want to spit and put over the flames first.

There doesn't seem to be a reply to your q. In the Yook, to "give someone a

roasting" means to castigate or harangue them for a percieved misdeed.

OK, at what temperature would one set the oven to roast a forum? And for how long, exactly?
