Author: The Chief
Subject: Holy Smokes, I FOUND it!


Recently someone lamented the loss of all the great and wonderful posts that made the HarmyBoard what it was then and set the standard for the years to follow. The post below about the old video reminded me of other wonderful videos that were made by HB-ers LONG before YouTube. I knew I had some of them on CDs somewhere, so I went digging in my old filing cabinet.

At one point, Our founder and Top Banana, Judi, and her faithful sidekick, Cece, started collecting these gems and the milestone posts that became part of our lingo here on the HB. The collection was saved to CD and sent out to some of the original members.

That CD is what I found tonight.

So in the spirit of nostalgia and education, I will try to post one text-based item a week (or thereabouts) until I've run out of files on the disk. (The videos will have to be uploaded to YouTube first and will not be that great quality, and I will see permission from the creators of those videos before I do anything like that.) So from Meat Trays to the Manly Arms, from "Shuddering Shippers" to the 50,000th post, this walk down memory lane should help relive some great memories and explain some of our craziness to those who haven't been around as long.

So.... Without further ado, here is a great place to start with this retrospective look at the HB. It doesn't say who wrote it, but enjoy!!

Ode To "All Things Harm" Day
July 30, 2003

'Twas a Harmy Board Wednesday and oh, what a treat!
We drooled over Harm from his head to his feet.

His eyes! That leg! That smile and those arms!
We discussed and debated his unending charms.

A quick glimpse of navel kept us busy for days,
While that rarely-seen clavicle started a craze.

Our posts could be sweet or a little bit kinky;
Some talked at length of a Commander named "Winkie."

Do we like baby Harm with long porno hair?
And most important of all -- what should he wear?

Black shirt or blue? How 'bout tight-fitting jeans?
Boxers and Jammies make for wonderful scenes...

Are dress whites and wings overrated? No way!
We'll take him in uniform any old day.

There's more to Harm than appearance, it's true;
So we spoke of his brain and his character, too.

But it didn't take long to return to this thought:
In clothes or out of them, Harmy is HOT!

As the sun set that day on each city and farm,
We hoped we'd soon have another day full of Harm!

[> Absolutely hilarious! I keep thinking about people who will find this 100 years from now and wonder who this 'Harm' was-- a sort of icon of worship and adoration? Haha! -- mj, 12:22:41 04/13/14 Sun

[> [> [> It didn't have an author on it or I would have included it. I wish we knew, too! I was guessing manette but she has demurred. Possibly Rachael. She was a prolific poet. -- The Chief, 18:03:26 04/19/14 Sat
