Are you a big shot in The Cellar? - Page 15

So, Maggie, that's an emphatic "yes" then?

So you do enjoy it, sometimes. I can live with that.

The original issue, now:

I don't care message board stats that have to do with "who has the most posts" or "how high can I get my post number".

Though I do sort of like when a thread (like this poll-thread) is put down early on by some Cellar long-termers, though it has gotten many votes, and many "times viewed".

So, I don't care about my personal stats or post numbers, but I get a chuckle out of the fact that this thread has lasted (not only as a vehicle for you to insult me), and the actual poll keeps getting votes.

I will take a leap and say quite a few here liked the poll, and got the humor implied.

And it's not all about me... so I am clear... I'm not smugly happy that my thread did well. I like that "big shots" tried to shoot this thread down early on, and yet it got a lot of votes and posts (the votes being the number I pointed out originally).

I am laughing at people that wanted to tell me how to post in the Cellar, though when I do post using my "style" and my humor, the thread gets a lot of interaction.

And look, I haven't insulted you yet. But you keep scanning every post I have, and quote them, and attack or challenge me. Because, you enjoy it.

A lot of people pay attention to Paris Hilton's work too. Not because they like it, but because they can't not look.

Well, my original post was just a mere observation, a momentary chuckle. But the words seemed to resonate more with some here.

Flint · 04-21-2006, 12:52 PM

I think we all have to accept that "taste" is subjective. People like different things. It doesn't seem like rocket science to me.

Yes, it's like watching a car crash on the side of the highway.

How, exactly, is it like that? What common traits do these things share?

Well, its not something you want to be a part of, but you're drawn into it anyhow because its right there in the other lane as you pass by - a car wreck with a dead horse in the middle of the road. It slows traffic, and you have to creep by and can't help but look at it.

Why? Why wouldn't you want to be a part of it?

(the thread, not the car wreck)

Because its old news. We've been over it before. But every time I log onto the Cellar, there's this thread sitting near the top of home base. Try looking at the thread at the bottom of the Cellar. You might be amused.

I don't know if you knew this, but it wouldn't be at the top if people stopped posting on it. Like when you posted on it just now, and then again when I posted in response to your post.

so flint, you're a drummer? in texas? got a band?

Flint · 04-21-2006, 01:46 PM

@twentycentshift: Yes, we do a strange brew of covers from Pink Floyd to Willie Nelson to The Meters, and a heavy dose of originals and improvisational funk. Just a little bar band project, I've got so much else on my plate right now, from working as a System Administrator and going back to school after ten years to just buying a house and having our first baby (soon). The gigs let me blow off some steam and keep my chops up. You?
