Perhaps by definition it would be, but I don't think it'd function quite so well. Due to the naturally slower nature of Wi/Ht? it's less likely to sink down through the pages, and due to this thread becoming embedded in the core of this, the question answerers tended to mix with those users whom were more interested with stats and begin to sort of merge into one group - the Wi/Ht? users we have nowadays. Apologies if I've essentially restated what I previously said, I'm getting slight deja vu right now.

Speaking of the City / Utd rivalry, I found a nice poem yesterday:
United are red,
City are blue.
Both spent more than Arsenal,
Though Arsenal got through!
But I think United fans are more pissed than City fans. It was the first champions league ever for City, so many said: "Euro League? Good for us, bad for them [United]!"
Yeah, but top of the Premiership means that they're playing pretty well domestically, but in Europe, not so well.
But life is supposed to get better every day!It's all relative - they did it out of personal choice and some people will be unhappy with the way that you get worse before you get better.

Exactly the case. I think that we can also say that since the other stat topics (lists etc) belong here, why not have the Levelup! Lounge in here? The exception to prove the rule, as there are technically no stat threads allowed, i.e. no threads to say "this is my 1,111th post!" or similar. If we allowed that, our back teeth would be swimming in even more piss than usual.

Also while you are at "passing messages", can you go to Leo's Fish Bar on Oldham Street and tell them that their Full English Breakfast isn't really that good? The sausages where quite raw and the mushrooms didn't taste good as well.
At least, the Full English Breakfast I had in a different café a few meters away that was much better. (I forgot the name. I think it was between "Cheque & Pawn" and "Studi 81 Tattoo", but I cannot read any name on Street View).
I really am sorry to disappoint you.Oh, I'm sorry to disappoint you.You should work on the way how you deliver bad news...
Thank you.
One of the best views I've seen, for sure and I only reached the halfway point. It was an additional fee just to be at the very top of the tower.Well, you have one but you may as well visit the other. It's like going to the Eiffel Tower once in your life. It's something that has to be done just so you can say you were there.I've never been to the Eiffel Tower and right now I don't think I missed too much.
I bet I can have a better view from the television tower in Hamburg. But I don't know if the upper plattform is open to public... there used to be a (bad) restaurant, but due to new fire escaping regulations it will never open again. Then there used to be a bungee jumping plattform, but it closed in 2001.
Oh fuck, now, err, there's still some muscles there so it shows some fighting skills. :PYeah, it really does suck out of everything else. Even seeing a half-naked man at level 59 is better. At least there's some balls there.We can't tell for sure. The picture doesn't chow them. Maybe he chopped his balls off LIKE A BOSS?
I wonder why on earth I typed "chow" instead of "show" there...
Anyway, yes, that are some VERY manly muscles (no homo of course).
Golden shitblade?That would make you really lucky. Too bad they didn't get the redesign done soon enough.Maybe they give you the switchblade for level 50 after the redesign? :P
Why not? It has to be better than a golden cupid.

I don't particularly believe that it looks too bad, although it certainly looks more delicate than some of the other ones, although the word intricate could be substituted in. It's more of a beautiful weapon rather than a nice, solid one like 43 or 23, my two personal favourites. I always believed I'd stop at twenty-three, as it's far superior in my opinion to all of the other icons surrounding it, but the problem with that is that is that it's coming in about two months or so now, and I wish to continue B/Ping as I'm only about a ninth as far into the B/P ranks as I would like to be.

I'm not sure about this. Although hipsters seem to have more of an impact on the internet and such, when walking around the streets I seem to find emos far more common, although a few of the people I know whom used to call themselves 'emo' have been slowly swinging over towards the 'hipster' subculture instead.
By the way, if quadruples still count (I'm wary as my two recent ranks haven't been acknowledged), then this is my 5,555th post on the website. It is far more than I expected to have a week or so ago, but on a few days I've made quite a few, and I'm glad as this hasn't come by through spam posting or such, and very few of them are less than a few lines long recently.
Now, to do that final dozen icons in my current batch. :3
