A Jericho Fan Walks Into a Bar

or

all in all you’re just another brick in the wall

.

I think it is probably a common dream amongst message board inhabitants; to create a thread that is so well received that it takes on a life of its own. Well, Need2No2 of the CBS Jericho Board did just that. She created a thread that leapt like a pop up book from the screen. Here is her first post on that thread in its entirety:

Hello, and Welcome to ~

.
Baileys: The Place Where Everyone Knows Your ScreenName!

.
My name is Mary Bailey. I will be your Hostess and Bartender. Bailey's is a "Virtual" Bar where we have virtually anything you would want. I do offer specials. Today's specials are:

.
NutTini; TangoMargarita With Salt; Nuts.

.
Until the ATMs are operational, I will barter a drink for a grain of salt! The nuts, however, are free -- for some reason (probably a computer glitch) I have about 20 tons of them in the store room!

.
There is also a virtual jukebox; although, I can't seem to get it to play anything but "World" and "Nothing Compares to You" ??! - feel free to sing along - you're all such good singers!

.
Also, virtual darts and pool table are available. You may virtually wager but only salt bets are acceptable. Bailey's is open all day, every day, and we never run out of virtual bar stools!

.
So Welcome one and all; come in, relax; put your feet up; have a drink or two or many whatever you can handle. We have free "tankie" service (compliments of CynCity30) for anyone who is too drunk to drive home.

.
So, what's your pleasure?

1416 pages later Baily’s is still drawing posts from its virtual patrons. As I write, those patrons have apparently not heard the news that Mary Baily AKA Need2No2 has just placed her name on the wall in a thread that I created barely a week ago. A thread called the Jericho Memorial Park.

The Jericho Memorial park was born from the idea that it would be nice for folks to have a place to post about and remember their ranger friends that are no longer with us on the boards. It did not have a wall as I envisioned it but embellishment is the name of the game on a message board and in a somewhat ironic but not totally unforeseeable twist of fate the Park has become a place for folks to lay down their nuts and call it quits. An act that is fast becoming known as Placing your name on the wall.

So, Mary Baily AKA Need2No2 has done just that this evening and she leaves behind her a tiny URL and a whole heck of a lot of very real memories to be swept up off the virtual floor.
