Hence the reason I pretty much gave up on it.

What the hell are you getting at here? I have no idea what you're trying to say. You're not going to start threads here because Steve didn't?

Hey Jonsey... your girl wants me.

Can we have our own private forum?

Thanks.

If you can't realize that posting badly is the only natural result of posting well, I can't fucking help you. I post recreationally maybe just for the joy of typing, or maybe because I get off on knowing that some fucking will read it and not enjoy it, but I do so recreationally. They'll be good when they become good again, or when you start forcing them down.

Ah... I feel for you, Worm.

Used to be, around these parts, you either JUST dealt with ICJ, (which was normally easy enough, because all you had to do to make him shut up was compliment one of his games which would result in him spending the rest of the day giddily stewing in a pool of his own drool, giggling softly to himself), or JUST deal with Vitriola.

Nowadays, though, we're all outnumbered. It's like fighting the Incestuous Wondertwins.

Here's a handy guide is you're ever wondering if I'm a fucking moron or not. Go ahead and bookmark this. It'll help you out whenever you get into a bind on this particular point.

Q: Is Ice Cream Jonsey being a fucking moron?
A: NO, CORNCHUCK, IT'S PROBABLY YOU.

I know that you never posted on OMM. I was stating that... oh, for Christ's sake! Now you've got ME doing it.

Fuckit. Gonna do it anyway.

Caltrops is a forum that a bunch of us created when the guy who ran OMM kicked us out. IN THE HISTORY of Caltrops and the site that came before it, nobody's had a worse string than you in the last week.

(Course, I say that, and you promptly don't post poorly for the entirety of Thursday, March 11th. Who knew? But. Anyway.)

OK... this -- regardless of what forum we're on -- is what is annoying:

I don't even have a fucking point here, d00d. All I see is you saying "Hey Knuckles is the sports mod of this base and you are the music mod so just post then". So, I kept fucking posting, maybe to pass a few minutes well in my college's computer lab well waiting for the bus. Another second or two when I got home wondering if Ducksworth was a mouse or a dog.

That bit. Bits like this. Give me something new, goddammit. The Worm that did the "The More You Know Post" gave us something new all the time. He was funny, sharp and edgy. These are all traits I want to see in you again.

I want new things from you.

So, do me this favor. Everytime you post the rest of the week, I want you to ask yourself, "Am I clarifying a point I already made?" If so -- DO NOT POST A CLARIFICATION. Post anything else. A slanderous statement. A funny story. A joke, a gape, a jibe, a picture of a high-flying coke-snorting grape Jewess -- anything... other than a reintrepretation of what you've already said.

I quite like you, Worm. I liked reading your posts up until like a week ago. I want to like reading them again. Help me do that. Please.

And yet, your points so far have been pointing out the low caliber of everyone else's posting.

Worm wrote:then she replies "WELL I WOULDN'T EVER WRITE A FUCKING REVIEW SO HAH" then it all fell apart and I don't give a shit.

It fell apart long before that, sweets.

And who said I wasn't going to review anything? I mean, seriously? I've made some jokes, with varying degrees of success, but I don't remember saying anything for real to that effect at all. Or to any effect, for that matter.

Worm wrote:You're acting like I am putting forth more effort than she did for her stupid little simile. Overstatement is the new black right?

Nobody thinks you're putting forth much effort. You're one point away from derisively telling everyone they're posting in English.

Whatever you do, please please PLEASE, Worm, do not clarify your original point. Do not restate it. Do not say it again, but in a different way. We ALL read it the first time. If you're going to post something to what V wrote, post something new.

I'm willing to help you in this time of need. Please, open your heart, mind and eyes, and let me.

You're like the insecure chick dressed in black at Thanksgiving dinner whose family can't say anything to even remotely non-positive before yelling out dramatically that nobody can tell her anything because sis is too fat, dad cheated with the next-door neighbor a few years ago, mom drinks Sudafed before bouts of compulsive television shopping, brother thinks he's so perfect because he got an A when he wouldn't have gotten it if he hadn't been on the Lacrosse team, grampa blew up a bunch of people in the war just because their eyes slanted, and America has degenerated into a consumer driven country of spoiled brats with Imperialist ambitions. And honestly thinks that nobody else already knew these things, and that's she's special, discerning, and telling-it-like-it-is, because she's the only one on the room who isn't fake.

That was a SIMILE.

Oh, I realized the tongue in cheek nature. Though, I don't really think people here need to be reminded that they don't watch baseball, especially with a "ZANY SITUATION" joke. I just got pissed that you simply assumed that no one here could ever be interested in shit they aren't right now fans of.

Bitching about it would be, making a joke about how much time he put into being in inverse proportion to how much any of us watch baseball is just a taunt. Seriously, did you even read my original post? Or are you just responding to the furor that has been raging for the past 3 days? It was a JOKE.

Has it really been that long?

I am already part of some metal discussion outlets that I don't post reviews for. I kinda thought my job around here would just be to point out why what everyone else is listening to is crap.

Well, moderation is just moving crap. Though bitching about a guy posting sports in the correct forum is a little much when you do little music posting in the music forums, which is said to be your forte.

Oh yea Vit. Who could ever benefit from a review? I hate Metal. Oh, wait. I don't. I love metal all the way from black to noise. Review something you self important bitch.

If lurkers know this is a good place to get album reviews, they will start coming by every day and possibly even eventtually contriibute posts. In order to make a BBS a place that people want to go to everyday, you have to make an investment of time and resources even if nobody out there is going to respond to it.

And besides, if you post a few of them I will collect them into a single "features" to post on the front page of the BBS for people to easily find and read until the end of time itself. The features get read quite regularly.

Me posting an album review anywhere in the vicinity of this board would be about as uselsss as talking about next year's Bocci Ball tourney.

Turns out that it is not only a sport nobody cares about, but also a drink recipe nobody's ever heard of.

1 oz Amaretto
2 oz Orange juice
Fill with Soda water

or

2 oz. Amaretto
Orange Juice
Orange Slice

I'd be more than happy to write an album review. Unfortunatley I'm one of the few people left in the world who doesn't pretend to hate pop music.

In order to write effective music reviews I'm told you must listen to utter shit. YOu must champion the cause of whatever terrible music you listen to and hope to god it doesn't become popular to more than 5,000 people across the world. Because then, you aren't so special and you can't be a fucking snob.

My favorite (no) is Rolling Stone. Back before Radiohead did exactly what was described above, Rolling stone gave the radiohead release the BENDS a 4 out of 5. 5 years later they revised the rating to 5 out of 5. WTF is that?

Also anybody who rates things out of 5 is an asshole. (Unless you use decimal points like 4.3 out of 5). Rate things out of a fucking 100.

Me- I'm just waiting for Level 42 to release another catchy single.
