I'm not, nor have I ever been, a regular poster to the BET. But I have to say, I really enjoy meatbombz and PTFTWs. They make me laugh out loud and that's a good thing, no matter what forum I'm browsing. Except The Lab.

What the fuck is real? It's internet terminology, so is a bomz. Albeit much less popularized, but so what. And it wasn't 'designed' for anything as such. I know wiki isn't the most valid of references but:
Godwin has stated that he introduced Godwin's law in 1990 as an experiment in memetics.
mEATbomz is a meme, just because you don't like it doesn't change it. Get over it, and put your fucking big girl pantiez on.

Snupe is Francis
Donny7 is Donny7

There is no fun allowed here don't you know better? Apparently not. Time to learn your lesson son.

Come on Suzie, your talking in some kinda girl code. Do you mean TV show, and why is Rosie important to it?
If your going to get me to understand all your womanly ways, your going to have to dumb it down to a guys level for me.

Seems to me that most of the "big fishes" I know and care about post in both places.

The two sites certainly do have a different "look and feel" though.

I could be wrong, but I get the distinct impression that those guys, and many others, post less and less here, and more and more there. With the possible exception of RG.
