I don’t know where to put this so I’m putting it here: did the background color on dark mode change? I feel like it used to be black and now it’s dark grey. Needless to say it’s turned my life in an unrelenting living nightmare. Or, if actually nothing happened, maybe I’ve had a stroke.

Mine is still black… but there is a dark mode (old) setting. The discourse code was just updated to 3.50, so some things may have glitched. i would go into your settingss and just make sure it is set at dark mode still…

WTF is a Ben Folds Five?

Maybe if he folded 10 he’d be onto something

[jazznutUVA]

I know this is a joke… but I was wondering this as well years back. His name is actually Ben Folds.

The group is his group of 5 dudes in the band.

I have never heard of anyone with the last name Folds… so where does that come from?

When I’m trying to really get to know someone’s character. Like quickly evaluate them. What I do is take them to my giant horse ranch, and then ask them for their top 5 Ben Folds Five (or solo Ben Folds, if they prefer) songs of all time.

(Okay, with that, I really should do some work…)

Ben Folds Five is actually a trio.

[4547Lambeth]

Ben Folds Five is a trio, not a quintet.

I remember being surprised a few years back when I heard that Ben Folds was going to conduct the National Symphony Orchestra. Like, why’s the guy who sang Brick when I was in HS doing something with classical music? Looks like he got pushed out along with most of the Kennedy Center leadership with the change in presidential administrations.

yeah… I forgot that too… It was in the article I read and I’m not a huge Ben FOlds Five fan… whole thing stinks of weirdness.

[haney]

(According to Wikipedia) Ben Folds (has) Five (ex-wives. No joke!)

More about the surname Folds/Foulds/Fowlds than you ever wanted to know: Foulds

[DFresh11]

Its like Harrys Italian. 5 spice meatballs and they only give you 4 here. Buuulllshit

[WFS_HOO]

So the state of affairs is basically LRA is talking about some shitty 90s band and we have a team full of cat guys? Am I all caught up? The more things change the more we are still so fucked

[htraylor]

Yeah, but we are so fucked that our fuckedness has become our strength. #sofuckednation #sofuckedstrong

@chavlicek15

Does anyone else have some anxiety or a mild panic attack when they open up Forum and there are like 5 threads with 20+ comments? Feels like you are behind and that some good stuff is being shared and you’re way behind…. Yeah- me neither.

Yes, I totally relate! I just logged into this community recently and felt the same, like I was already behind on so many great discussions.

Glad to know I’m not the only one experiencing that.
