Auntiehth I really think you are taking my post too seriously. I'm not that interested in examining the semantics, dynamics or whatever else to nail down a scientific meaning of "incrowd" or in seriously discussing whether such a thing exists on Ship of FOols and how it manifests itself or the implications thereof, seriously that's just making a discussion forum disappear up its own arse hole.
If it puts your mind at rest (given you've asked me twice) to know how I, personally happen to define in-crowd then I'd refer you to that vague, unreliable resource urban dictionary who have a few defns. When I use the expression "in-crowd" it refers to some combination of the following, in different circumstances one definition might predominate over the other.....
quote:
A group of people who know the specifics or details about certain things such as games, programs, chatboxes and forums.
with a dash of
quote:
Popular kids
and
quote:
people who hang out with the popular people.
Lastly, I reiterate that my thoughts on h&A day are not connected to "in-crowd" notions, to me the conversation had moved on from H&A day to how to join the "in-crowd", which is a laughable concept as most others seem to realise.

Sorry Orfeo, x-posted with my last post and I agree with you, although I'd plead mine was satire, not sarcasm.

Ah but that's the point Boogie, the current PM is not a friend of Royalty, he only gets to see her 'cos he's the PM, big difference.

Not that I've heard. I do, though.
However, until the Ship software is upgraded to include audio chat this information is unlikely to be useful.

Technology has brought us all closer together. Turns out a lot of the people you meet as a result are complete idiots.

Not really, but I have been known to do a disturbing impression of the Predator after sneaking up on the unsuspecting.
And my laugh has been compared to Jabba.

I didn't particularly enjoy H&A Day, but this thread has given me days of amusement. Please keep them coming if they produce such windfalls.
