And how I want to dye my hair black, but my Mum won't let me.

The Return Of Rothkoid

12:17 / 28.07.02

See, I'd put in a joke here about how I had a lot of adolescent spleen to vent when my mother stopped me going to see The Cure when Wish was touring, and how cut up I was.

But it's all true.

And it still hurts.

Sniff...

Don't forget a page full of "awards" the thread has won...80% of which will be from friends and the rest are made up (and accompanied by the most natty, "gotta-look-award-like" graphics).

And we soooo need a hit counter. A Rainbow Brite themed hit counter.

Were you, like, literally cut up, Rothkoid? 'Cause that's another thing that proves if your're a vampire or not. I've tasted my own blood so I am.

I would visit this thread. Put some monkeys in clown costumes and have them fight with knives and I would never leave.

...just a suggestion...

Just to rub it in a bit, Rothkoid - I saw the Cure last night for the 5th time, and they were, as ever, very cool.

On that note, how about a little section for wannabee old school goths on: Backcombing, tips and tricks? Or is that too fluffy (uh, as it were)?

that

And, oh yeah, p.s.: my mum loves the Cure. So she came with me. Nyah nyah!

Ok, I'll go away now, shall I?

Ah this goth thread is not finished, where are its pictures of the owner in a velvet cloak moping around a graveyard? And where are the seven goth webrings? You can't rush these things you know...

The Strobe

What this thread really needs is BLINK TAGS.

And a bad animated gif of the word "email" spinning in Xara3D-crapness.

And midis in the background.

Lots of bad midis.

When did this thread's construction get hi-jacked by goths? I demand equal representation for other subcultures...sprinkle some glitter around, hang glow sticks from the rafters and install a speaker system that causes complaints from the neighbours 'cause the sun's been blocked out.

And give every visitor a hug.

awwww.... look at 'em go! see, it's cute because they're monkeys!

18:40 / 29.07.02

OK gridley, seeing as how you think it's so cute, you get to don the wellies and rubber gloves and hose the thread down when they're done. Yeesh, will you look at the mess.

And they're messing up the designs we made out of the glitter...

That same Simpsons episode also gave us the greatest name for a monkey that fights with knives--"Furious George". Twenty bucks says he can go at least five rounds with a full grown badger.

The Monkey

19:33 / 30.07.02

Remember - visit my website for all of your retail-quality, wholesale-price monkey needs. We've got simians for every occasion - bar and bat mitzvahes, pyramid-building, long space voyages - and every lifestyle, be you pirate, ninja, or just plain hard up for a date.

We also have a fine rent-to-own policy on some good-as-new badgers left over from the Barbeflat security. The kakapo, however, is not for sale.

Hey, Monkey! Do you need any spare parts?

While I was cleaning up this thread, I found two partially chewed through but otherwise pristine monkey skull, a handfull of ribs, and about a bucket and a half of blood.

The teeth I'm saving to make jewelry out of. "See these cuff links? Genuine monkey molars!"

The Monkey

02:06 / 01.08.02

I hadn't really considered getting into the monkey-repair business, but sounds to me like you've got the basis for a smashing bouilbaisse.

the Fool

03:45 / 01.08.02

Look I won't be happy until we have lots of different coloured fonts. Like those really crappy basic 16 windows colours. All of them at once and changing colours too!!! Lots of different fonts that don't match. Fluro pink on black, always my favourite colour combo. Like goths in a cheap porno...

*BUMP!*

I think we should have a bunch of those really really convincing ghost photos. The ones that aren't in any way caused by dust motes on the lens, or by having failed to get the camera strap out the way.

Yes. This thread needs Ghoststudy. This month's most convincing:

Haunted plastic bag on pole

Photograph in window. Spooky!

Yeah! An some of those snapshots of people, the ones that look totally unremarkable until you read the caption saying that "This little boy/girl/whatever wasn't standing there when I took the picture! HONEST!"

Oh, and all the text should be centred.

Can we do something, like, really cheesy? Like, I dunno, like... YEAH! Like having an "Also Sprach Zarathustra" sound file as background music!

Oh bollocks. Apparently RAW's already done that.

"When Captain America Throws His Mighty Shield", maybe?
