.. when the RHP forums were so crowded that additional Science and Culture forums had to be created
.. or earlier, when Sports and Debates and Spirituality got their own homes

Note: Wish I could have known Bowmann (and Mathurine for a longer time).

Here's a link that will show how the "original" site looked in the real "good old days".

The oldest one I could find: http://web.archive.org/web/20010304170336/http://www.redhotpawn.com/

The earliest forum page I could find: http://web.archive.org/web/20010801160923/http://www.redhotpawn.com/forum/


You can find these kinds of old vintage pages for other older versions of your favorite sites by using the "wayback machine", using this link. http://archive.org/index.php

That's a very old Irish joke. There are people dying now that never died before.

Another play on words is.....let me shake you warmly by the throat.

Or as you drive by a cemetary you ask your kids, "How many dead people do you think are in there?"
