Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Lots of interesting birthdays today.

I can't imagine when I've ever seen Cheech Marin on a list with Julius Caesar
In C&C’s Next Movie, Cheech dreams that he’s an Aztec emperor. He’s wearing Caesar’s colors of red and gold, as well as eagle feathers.
Made my day🤣 I doubt Caesar would have tolerated Cheech. He's a funny dude.
“They don’t fuck around!!!”
Strange times my fren. He's currently in ad rotation on Truth Social ostensibly against CBD. Very strange times.
I thought that was Tommy Chong?
Man, you are right. I got the two mixed up.
