Expressionless:

There just seems to be a lot of trash on there right now. Just too many people with identity issues. It leaves you not wanting to participate through fear of a BS deluge. The problem is you end up second guessing everyone's posts, wondering if you're talking to someone's Sunday best or just their pyjamas. Fuckin fiction suits! How can you talk to a pair of boxer shorts?

Ladies, gentlemen and Haus, I love that man.

quote:I think the problem here is that everyone who likes the Invisibles in that special secret way will construct "living like the Invisibles" as describing their chosen mode of existence.

posted 22-01-2002 05:18 PM in one of our many recent discussions about alleged bullying and administering of "on-line kickings":

<munching popcorn at this whole melodrama>

It happens. People get kicked here ALL the time. I delurk on rare occasions because of it. But so what? Life's rough. Buy a helmet, mate.

Without wanting to imply that I either agree or disagree with any of the above whatsoever, I do have to say that it had me in stitches. Sheer comic poetry.

There's magic in words. Words can help you and hurt you like gods. Sometimes they fight amongst each other, sometimes they hide things from you. It's good to handle them with care. And that I know with my head and my heart and my stomach, every part of me.

A gem.

The award for inherent Mordant Carnivalness in the face of opposition goes to:

quote:Mordant Carnival: Only last week I was walking past a construction site and three guys started yelling at me, asking for my for my opinion on the latest Noam Chomsky book. I mean, sheesh.

Love it. Even if you do post big scary pictures which bite me at two in the morning and scare the crap out of me all night.

You should worry - Meme Buggerer gave me nightmares about a game from the early learning centre...
Any hoo, not so much a quote but a couple of phrases I've enjoyed recently (fuck off, I've got short term memory issues).

- Pearly man-mustard - Ganesh

and - Quimbecile (lit. stupid cunt)

I apologise for forgetting who came up with the latter but I have been working to get it into common parlance. Like I have with the word 'pigfucker'.

"Pirate fans are conducting an argument about which is the more attractive of the two, whereas ninja fans are only interested in which is the most efficient killer. Your average ninja fan would switch their alliegance to botulism if it were brought into the debate.

Despite the ire it generated, it must become shorthand for irreconcilable viewpoints.

Also from the great discussions on this issue, the wise Chairman Maominstoat:

"that would rock like a bagful of bastards being pushed down some stairs"

which goes instantly into my list of cool expressions to teach my nieces. For which my brothers will gut me...

Current variation on the theme of Runce:

Runce enjoys pleasuring battle-oxen (romantically)

Just preserving this, lest we're called upon to give evidence in court.

The Knodger's only sadism is in posting, the only masochism is in replying.

Haus finds the perfect expression of the only viable response to Knodger's 'violent sex' thread.

The many-headed Haus of Hydra has outdone himself:

Fuck. Shit. Yeah!

$1100 a month! Fuck! Shit!

Wow! That's, like, $244 a week! Fuck!

That's, like, about £150 a week! Twart! Cock! Balls! Fuck! Yeah!

Which, you know, after rent and bills, could leave me with *up to* £30 to spend on food a week. Fuck! Arsebagels! Spunk! Yeah!

And, you know, if I live on bread, lentils and tapwater, that could leave me with a good £25 just for me, me, me. Yarooo! Shit! Lay off, Bunter! Sand in my urethra!

Well worth the irritability, manic episodes, suicidal episodes, impaired judgement, low self-esteem, disengagement from social activities, inability to concentrate, sleeping problems and all that PUSSY SHIT.

DAMN, I wish I was manic depressive!

Well, no: it was in response to Rizla's ill-considered envy of someone else's genuine and debilitating condition.

Credit where it's due, and blame likewise.
