Are you a big shot in The Cellar?
Secretly vote and tell me how cool you know you are here...
Well...i am teetering on the 1st choice and the last with an insert of my opinion of myself.
I can't decide really, cuz i am ”Titts on a Ritz” so-to-speak ;)
oh you are to me bruce ;)
you are a big deal in the human aspect too. :D
I'm the one who sits quietly in the corner wishing everybody would shut up about "what the cellar is" and "how people are supposed to behave on the cellar" and "do I or somebody else fit in on the cellar"--just shut up, and post. Post about something funny you saw. Post about something that aggravated you in the news. Post about your moron of a pointy-headed boss. Post about about your lust for the lastest European sportscar. Post about how everybody in your family hates your little sister's new boyfriend.
But for God's sake stop posting about what you think the cellar is or isn't.
(And before somebody asks, "wait, did you mean me?" I said everybody. I mean everybody.)
Post about your moron of a pointy-headed boss.
My boss has two points on his head. And he is always red faced. Maybe he drinks too much. But I always do what he says.
hmmm..."your lust for the latest european sportscar"?
The Lamborghini Gallardo convertible is quite nice...I'd lust for it, if i lusted for inanimate objects...
My boss has two points on his head. And he is always red faced. Maybe he drinks too much. But I always do what he says.
Did he have trouble finding a special chair to accomodate the tail?

Well said sir , well said !!!!!
Hey did you see that new Lotus Exige ???
HOT Little rocket in a pocket !!!
(Oh and we ALL are the SHIT here !!!
Some smell like it ,
some spew it ,
some roll around in it ,
and some step around it going "EWWWWWW!!!! " )
Did he have trouble finding a special chair to accomodate the tail?
We do a special order because then entire office staff needs that same chair.
That one girl down in section J - has the biggest tail I've even seen. Everybody want a piece of that tail.
wondering:
do people usually change usernames when they go from one site to another? I do. Usually unless I am too lazy to change it. For the most part I do.
What do you suppose is the psychological connection is in keeping one username no matter what board you went to? Perhaps at least a half a dozen or more.
Is it so buddys can find a person? or is it attached to the ego somehow? Do you think they have actually become close to that name?
I don't know. I just wondering. I can't imagine because a username is only a fake thing. Something to make me annonymous. If I wanted everyone to know me I'd just post my real name. You know in real life that's how we are known.
Seems like a weird phenomenon to me. Maybe sticking to one usernames on the internet is more common than I think? Maybe it is just more obvious when a whole group does it and sticks together somewhat. Here and there.
It's so they can be indentified with that particular group?
Just really curious. humm
I are Zippyt in a few places ,
I Yam what I yam ,and that's all what I yam , and that Yam ME . ( bad spellin and all )
Seriously , I am me , no faulse identintys , no suptrafuge , just me .
It's easyer here ( and other places ) ,
Who the hell wants to try and keep up with being 5 different folks , posting in 5 different ways ,
Mari got cought doing that when she first came here ( I think ) ,
LJ cought her argueing with her self ( mulit Identitys ) , and called her out , she went away for a while ,
but the celler is like crack , You CAN'T stay away
Look up Huberius boy ( again spelling ) , LOOOOONG time cellerite ,he went off on us all for being stupid and left in a huff , but he has been back recently , here and there
long and drawn out , but I think if you look into it you will see my point
Well...i am teetering on the 1st choice and the last...
I'm king of the hill, top of the heap, A #1 - I'm Undertoad.
If you are in fact Undertoad, judging by your profile pic you've changed a lot since I saw you last.
Not that there 's anything
wrong with that...
I've been here a long time, I practically run the place.
Nobody really "runs the place"...but Tony takes out the trash every once in a while. For which many of us are appropriately grateful.
i think it goes without saying.
Here's some hail from the storms we got last night. Iowa City was nailed. U of I cancelled classes today!:eek:
One more...Atkins is just east of where I live. We only got quarter size hail though. Sounded crazy on the house...
How's your car, Lab Rat? Lots of dents?
We got a heavy hail in this area a few years ago. Nothing like that, but enough that in certain light and at certain angles, you can see the dents in our car when you actively look for them.
i think it goes without saying.
haha.... i think he meant you too. :p
Here's some hail from the storms we got last night. Iowa City was nailed. U of I cancelled classes today!:eek:
I saw the tornado warnings on the weather channel. I am glad all is well. Cool hail pictures though!
I am skysidhe. This is the second forum I have joined in a year. The last one didn't have very many members so I don't hang there. I don't hang out at myspace either. I do have alot of bands on myspace page.I like appreciating unsigned labels.
I never thought to use a user ID that would affiliate me with a place I left a year ago. I want to be affiliated with where I am at the time. I like to be an idividual. I am simple. I do like to banter and have discussions with people of like minds but it comes off better in real life because I AM a really nice easy going individual.
I don't think in terms of big shots or not. I just think there are some really nice and cool people here and that's really BIG in my book.
If you are in fact Undertoad, judging by your profile pic you've changed a lot since I saw you last.

why thank you maggie.....
the swedes are amazing aren't they?

Is that a jellyfish or your diaphram?
Is that a jellyfish or your diaphram?
hehehe I had to look through sleepy eyes twice too.
Actually, those shots came from
http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/2633436.html, the local news channel's website. They have some pretty amazing stuff, including 5 or so videos of the damage taken from "Newscopter 9" I did get a picture of a few of the hailstones that hit our place, but didn't bring my camera to work today. Unfortunately, not enough damage to the car to bother turning in a claim. I say unfortunately, cuz at over 101,000, we're looking for a new one. The $1800 worth of hail damage to my old Escort ~5 years ago helped put the downpayment on this Taurus. (The car only booked out at $1900, the goofy hail about totaled it!) We figured it's about time:lol: There will be several car dealerships here (IC) that will be having sales next week, if you don't mind a few dimples.

I am pretty much Marichiko where-ever I go or sometimes Manitou Mule Girl (on Internet Infidels). I have a sock puppet named Buddha here.
I am at the point where I am getting amused rather than irritated that some people think I would make up 3 different idenities (well, 4, counting Buddha). For any new folks who might possibly care, I had a 3 D friend that got interested in the Cellar. She joined under the name Flippant. We would sometimes talk about the discussions here and post from one another's computers. Once or twice we forgot to log the other one out and I ended up posting as her or she as me which naturally confused folks. LJ accused Flippant of being me, and this PO'ed her, so she created an alter ego for herself called Atropos in order to make some obscure point of her own. One night "Atropos" came over and posted from my computer, and I didn't catch it and the shit hit the fan, so to speak. Flippant didn't have the guts to come forward and she and I are no longer friends for various other reasons, although that incident didn't help things much.
Like would I even send PM's to myself from imaginary users? I may be wierd, but not schizophrenic! :lol:
Holy cow, this place is like AG!
why thank you maggie.....
the swedes are amazing aren't they?
Indeed. Makes me wonder if I made a mistake going to Neenah, WI. Although what's visible in a pic would tend to be more due to hormones than surgery. Unless facial feminization surgery was involved...but geez, FFS looks painful & expensive.
I voted for "I hope to become a big shot here, but will the elite ever allow it?"
I 've been posting here for a while, but still feel like a lurker. I dunno why.
This place is starting to remind me of rehab.
I'm too new to be anything.

I have mad respect for you, Pie. I think you ARE a big shot. you're a little bit more respectful than some of us, which may leave you with the impression that you look in from outside, but as far as i'm concerned, you rank.
you just need a good flame fest with someone to break out. IMO, cheyenne is a viable target. wink wink.

Oh Deer....
:p
I was unaware that we had transitive coolness ranks that were generally agreed upon. I just thought everybody had their individual likes and dislikes. Of course, were someone to go on a campaign to deliberately be obtruisive and annoying they could probably manage to get on the majority of "dislike" lists.
Like barak.
But who would do such a thing?
I was unaware that we had transitive coolness ranks that were generally agreed upon.
We can't all be aware of everything. That's why I thought I'd create this handy poll.

:blush: You say the sweetest things, LJ. Unfortunately, flame wars take too much energy. It takes someone like UG to get me riled up enough to post a diatribe. And he's on my ignore list.
So, Cheyenne, got any controvertial viewpoints? I rank as libertarian leftist on politicalcompass.org, if that helps.
- P
And he's on my ignore list.
so that explains why you didn't respond to all those insults he posted about you yesterday.;)

Alternatively, You could read the archives, reflect and observe...that way you don't have to try to guess the truth and then include it as poll response.
<fieldset>
<legend>Pointless Options</legend>
<form>
<label>Have you stopped beating your wife?</label>
<input type="radio" name="1">yes</input>
<input type="radio" name="1">no</input><br/>
<label>Do you walk to work, or carry your lunch?</label>
<input type="radio" name="2">yes</input>
<input type="radio" name="2">no</input><br/>
<label>If not, why not? Answer in detail:</label>
<input type="text"/><br/>
<button type="submit" value="Who cares?">Who cares?</button>
</form>
</fieldset>
Alternatively
I agree, that is an alternative. There are always alternatives. Reading all the archives to get an opinion of each user could be exhaustive. Though, I appreciate that suggestion.
Besides, I did include "other, write in below" as an option.
I'm sorry, MaggieL, if you took offense to this poll.
I agree, that is an alternative. There are always alternatives. Reading all the archives to get an opinion of each user could be exhaustive. Though, I appreciate that suggestion.
Reading all the archives would be--by definition--exhausive. Perhaps you meant "exhausting". Of course, I didn't say read
all the archives. I haven't read
all the posts there either, and I doubt anyone has.
When entering any new online space it's always useful to review any available archives until you gain a feel for what the space is like. Imagine what AG would have been like if every new arrival started running polls to try to guess what they could determine by observation.
Or maybe it *was* like that...
"Perhaps you meant "exhausting". "
*waits* ;)
AG was a different sort of board. In its day the top thread would move to the bottom very quickly. One could see the board move as if it were alive. Threads that were not posted on or bumped fell off the edge of the universe so-to-speak... it aged off. You would have to check your own "history" to see where you had been the previous day or you could spend hours looking through the quick and ever changing pages.
There were MILLIONS of users, so if someone new came along you never really knew they were new.... just "another user".
No need for every new user to start a fun and silly poll like this, if there is one thread started already, that we can all chat on.
And yes, I meant "exhaustive", Ms. Roget.
Why does this poll bother you so much? It's just one fun post, I don't go running into your threads to bother you or tell you how to post here. Maybe I should. Maybe you should lighten up.
There were MILLIONS of users, so if someone new came along you never really knew they were new.... just "another user".
So it was "like that". My sympathies.
But by "like that" I mean exactly "a feel for what the space is like". This space isn't "like that"...by all means let's keep it that way. Certainly in creating "clone posts" just so you can see your name up in lights for another 15 seconds of fame is ugly, rude, pointless and unneccessary.

"Clone threads" like many of our threads are just to make people laugh. Not to see my name in "lights". It's just a message board, not celebrity status. Posting often doesn't make you cool, or a "big shot" Maggie. Just because you don't get that type of humor, doesn't make it wrong.
And yes, I meant "exhaustive", Ms. Roget.
Obviously reading all of anything is exhaustive. I thought perhaps your sentence had meaning. My mistake.
Why does this poll bother you so much?
As far as "so much", it only bothered me enough to comment on...as to "why", it's probably the attitude, presumptions and passive-agressive tone behind the framing of it.
After all, my comment is "just one fun post". "Why does it bother you so much?" :-)
I'm sure the kids with spray paint in the city think graffitti is "fun" too.
Your comment bothers me because you are trying to tell me how to post. My post is a joke; a lot of people played along, voted and weren't bothered by it.
Did you know that there are graffitti artists that get paid for their work now? To decorate buildings, in advertizing, in the music industry, and in other areas?
I think someday I may be considered a Clone Thread Artist.
Obviously.
I think someday I may be considered a Clone Thread Artist.
So why not do it on a "building" where it's considered art, rather than an annoyance? If you find "a lot of people played along" to be validating, then perhaps you'll consider integrating some negative feedback as well. And do let us know if you find somebody to pay you for creating clone threads.
Graffiti artists who achieve professional status do so by exhibiting artistry. If you're interested in the work of people who have demonstrated artististy in a single line of text, check out the work of Ashley Brilliant. Of course if you're only fascinated by the sound of
your own voice, you won't have time for that.
It would be..."too exhaustive".
Oooh, you cut so deep. Touche, mon pussy cat.
"So it was "like that". My sympathies."
No sympathies needed maggie although I acknowledge your sarcasm. We at AG are there because we choose to be. We were there in its heyday and will prolly be there until Michael closes it. Which won’t be soon. ;)
Do you think we know nothing else? I belong to two Thoroughbred sites and a few Native American boards. AG is our home base. If you don’t understand or like it and wish to put us down for it then perhaps you need to search your inner self for the acceptance of others. If you were able to make a name at AG you would be more than welcome to make any kind of thread you like.
If you do not like Steve’s threads, avoid them. In the mean time when you post in them not only are you acknowledging them but also you are keeping them at the top.
Steve's actually a smarter thread maker and a usually nuetral nice guy on the surface.
I think cheyenne is a cut above. In fact I don't understand the association.
Not that I agree with what she said. She just said it with such tact and beauty.
It's like pouring fine wine in a cheap bottle or is that pouring cheap wine in a fine bottle?
.....
If you do not like Steve’s threads, avoid them. In the mean time when you post in them not only are you acknowledging them but also you are keeping them at the top.
I'm noticing this common theme, from all the individual people who frequent the AG board, that top=good. Is that fairly common on other boards? Is it true here? I never made that association.
Is it true on AG even when all the responses are negative?
hey sky,
glad you are still here. your a nice cut of prime yourself. ;)
hey, i prefer fine beer out of the bottle. :p
gonna go relax with my kiddlie. see yooz! :)
Oh, before i go. I never said it was good, nor do i post in negative laden threads. I am all about lighthearted fun. :)
toodles.
Have a good weekend too! :)
@ jinx
Although I don't frequent that board. I don't believe that top is regarded as best. When I was there my threads or those I commented in could be at the top for days with just the kind of stuff flint and I were going through. Noone liked them but it becomes sort of a feeding frenzy Something to relieve boredom.
Same for clone threads. If there isn't anything of substance then you try to find a clever alternative. I have done them too but since there is such wonderful depth and substance here it isn't really necessary and seems silly and childish.
Why not go there and make clone threads? Doing it here is like driving your brand new bright shiny car through a mud pitt.
Just my opinion. Not written in stone anywhere as far as I know :)
lol I think she called me a cow :P mooo
Also when you have a bunch of the same usernames doing the same ole stuff it makes the host site less unique. If I wanted to be at AG I would be there.
I think all that talk about individuality should be taken to heart. Let's all be individuals while we are here and not acting like 'the borg'. Let's not assimulate or try to assimilate another sites behaviors and ways into another site. Let's respect the individuality of this site and it's members.
I have high hopes of fun and learning from many wonderful and separate personalitys that are on this site. I wasn't looking forward to the waters being muddied and having it looking like AG.
Bringing same usernames and habits as a group into another system is rank and nightmarish.
sorry
Oh, before i go. I never said it was good,
Then I've misinterpreted your point, can you help me out? :confused:
I want to understand the fascination with bumping, threads being on top, threads containing your name etc etc...
Thanks!
I'm noticing this common theme, from all the individual people who frequent the AG board, that top=good. Is that fairly common on other boards? Is it true here? I never made that association.
Is it true on AG even when all the responses are negative?
Really the common theme is: "If you want to see a thread (or type of thread) disappear, don't post on it."
If you see clone threads you don't like or bumped threads you don't like or threads that seem ridiculous to you, just assume you don't get the joke, and skip over it.
If you do not like Steve’s threads, avoid them.
And if you don't like spam, just delete it.
In the mean time when you post in them not only are you acknowledging them but also you are keeping them at the top.
So folks who don't agree should just shut up? I don't think so. (Besides...this isn't a clone thread. :-))
Nor does recent activity indicate anything but recency. If the AG style is to be hypnotized by site stats, then no wonder quantity is valued over quality and everything flushes through there in minutes like shit through a shark. Like a crowded room where everybody jabbers at once, and eventually everybody is screaming to be heard.
We don't have site stats on AG, and they mean nothing to me here, nor does posting often mean I like "seeing my name in lights". It's only a message board. Everything does not flush through AG in minutes. How would you know? Good posts last, boring ones don't.
We don't have site stats on AG...
If thread display is ranked by activity or recency, obviously you do. In a smaller pond like this one, you have the opportunity to convince yourself you're a bigger fish.
If you don’t understand or like it and wish to put us down for it then perhaps you need to search your inner self for the acceptance of others. If you were able to make a name at AG you would be more than welcome to make any kind of thread you like.
I "understand" it just fine, nor do I have a problem "accepting" it...at AG. I already know 'way more than I care to about AG just from the blather about it here...and based on it I have no desire to go there. Folks who do enjoy the AG style should go there and enjoy it. I just think having The Cellar swamped with it just because AG's become a word flood would be a tragedy.
I feel no implicit collectivist obligation to "accept" stuff I don't like. So go examine
your "inner self", mine's doing just fine, thanks.
I feel no implicit collectivist obligation to "accept" stuff I don't like..
:D
i can get real big with viagra.
I'm pretty sure that everybody on this board just sits around waiting for me to post one of my witty witticisms.
I could be wrong.....

Very true.
Really the common theme is: "If you want to see a thread (or type of thread) disappear, don't post on it."
If you see clone threads you don't like or bumped threads you don't like or threads that seem ridiculous to you, just assume you don't get the joke, and skip over it.
This is really stupid. This place has been here a dozen years and you want to post a New Rules sign. Seriously, I'm from NY too. And, yea, I gotta problm wit dat.
You bump treads here mutha fucka and my cousins Carmine and Joey go ova and break ya friggin wrists, ya gaba dusta. Then let's see'ya type.
As for your poll, this forum is very much listen first, egalitarian, support others, anti-attention whore, ... Very much in contrast to the flame-everyone FC-spinoffs that I was used to. Very much better here.
I can recommend several existing communities that already use rules closer to your own. Why bother the good folks here?
Rock, I will post how I like. I am not posting to bother, annoy or anger anyone. If you don't like it, I don't know what to tell you. Here are your choices:
A) There is an ignore feature.
B) You can just ignore me without the feature.
C) You can continue to post against me.
D) You can petition to get me banned.
I suppose only choice D will work.
This thread was a joke, and some people get it, some don't.
And, no, if most people here don't get my jokes, I won't leave.

Nice try with the jokey mobster/Italian American style threat. That makes us even; my humor isn't funny to you, and this "joke" isn't funny to me.
I see we've moved from simple "site-ism" or "my posting style is better than yours" to full-blown racial stereotypes. Isn't it funny how people attribute this seperate set of qualities to themselves or other on the internet, as if being a jerk on the internet doesn't clearly indicate that you are a jerk in real life. I wish we could drop the whole internet pretext, what we are dealing with here are basic human tendencies.
Oh, no! It's an Italian-American Mexican Stand-off!
ok
Let us cut to the chase,
I'm impotent,
screw you all.
*uses latestest technology to make a happy smiley penis*
*puts catnip on strange pussy kitty*
ahhhh, that explains the viagra.
There's a difference between not getting a joke and finding it (and the jokester) annoying.
""What do you mean it's not funny? You must not get it!"
ya know, i just had this mental image of Hubrisboy logging in and promptly imploding upon seeing this thread.
I'm pretty sure that everybody on this board just sits around waiting for me to post one of my witty witticisms.
I could be wrong.....
*waits* *falls asleep waiting* :p
I voted ;)
I'm king of the hill, top of the heap, A #1
And, no, if most people here don't get my jokes, I won't leave.
i'm not a big fan of banning people. when i run across a <strike>poser</strike> poster who annoys the ever-loving shit out of me, i usually just remember that i annoy quite a few people on here too. i can generally just ignore their ramblings, but there have been a few newcomers that, well... it just isn't working.
steve - take the not so subtle hint - we like new people. we like people who are funny. we even like people who are annoying. we don't like people who come in and say "hey you've got a really nice place here i think i'll stay" and then proceed to shit in the sink and set the carpet on fire. so i say from the bottom of my heart - be courteous. play nice. observe some of our customs. don't think that your chatroom banter, clone thread starting asshattery is going to grow on us. if you can't quit trying to make the cellar like AG - then fuck off and die. literally. i mean it.
i would rather see UT shut the cellar down than watch it devolve into the useless bullshit you think is entertainment. you've already got a place to post in your own special way - leave ours alone.
sincerely,
a member of the peanut gallery
I am not trying to make it like AG. I think that would be impossible. I will continue to post the way I like to post, no matter how many message boards I visit in a day. Thanks for the advice, though.
"Asshattery" is a funny word though.
Hey, it's almost your birthday. I'm a May birthday too, 05/26/68.
And if you don't like spam, just delete it.

pretty astute :)
or maybe I am confusing two eyes with astute but no matter. :)

I think when I am in another persons home you do as they do. It is a matter of respecting an established tradition of the place.
Without looking like I am trying to argue or attack I'll try to phrase questions generally.
I think we should ask,Why am I here? Why are you here?
I am here because there are threads with content and depth.
I find humor.
I find kindness and smarts.
Why would I want to be defiant to a host site? I don't because I found something I like. I want to keep it like I found it.
Why do you guys want to be here?
Why do you want to disrespect the host site?
Why do you only want to post in a style the takes away from and dosn't add to it's uniqueness?
I am sure you have something funny or intriguging to contribute right?
I am having to rethink AGAIN just who exactly was the aggessors and the defenders. What I am witnessing reaffirms to me a mindset I've had all along. I am again disappointed. The majority rule just dosn't transfer. The lack of respect is no less appaling than it was before.
I hope I have grown up and changed for the better. I would think that after a year others would be in a more mature place within themselves as well.
:headshake
me big shot. me number 1. me kagen. ugh
Sometimes I'm just about to post something and then I remember: Nobody cares what I think. It's very liberating. Some people should try it.
i think steve gets it. he's not intolerably annoying. he's not even pompous or pretentious. give him a minute to wipe the slime of the ag stigma off of him and he'll be ok. :2cents:

Weird Science: "I don't know what you're talking about, but I want you to shut up."
Scenario #1: All new users to this site are effectively driven away by the irrational hostility of a few uptight killjoys, and subsequently the site slowly dies as the last few remaining members slowly succumb to the ravages of old age, pausing only once a month to make a single post (because posting more than once a month clearly constitutes a sub-human mentality).
Scenario #2: The habitual complainers could lighten up and realize that they aren't the king of the world, their unsolicitated advice is not appreciated, and if they want to do anything about the big bad words on a screen they can run right away to their big buddy boss man and whine like a little cry-baby that their precious stagnant board is being ruined by the bad bad meanies who like to actually employ a sense of humor in their daily lives.
You are not "all new users".
You are not "all new users".
Correct, I am not "all new users".
Sometimes I'm just about to post something and then I remember: Nobody cares what I think. It's very liberating. Some people should try it.
My head , heart and mouth feel the same.They know no one cares. My fingers are only half tame. I know I am only pissing in the wind.

good start to a poem about ineffectuality. finish it

Wouldn't that be effectual?
ooooooo. good point. well, i always have been ironically clumsy.
Or is that clumsily ironic? Is there a difference?
yes, there is a difference.
ironically clumsy meaning i use irony clumsily.
clumsily ironic meaning you say, "where did i put that half filled bucket of water?" just before you step into it and fall down the stairs.
:2cents: I think you have that reversed, lumberjim. The adverb modifies the adjective.

Yeah, I don't know how this place managed to survive so long before you guys came along. All those lengthy posts we were making with footnotes and bibliographies, UT would come along and smack our knuckles with a ruler if one of us dared to crack a joke even in some forlorn, mis-begotten thread that no one ever read.
No fun, no new members - it was like the most boring class you ever took in college and generally cut class to avoid it. But we all dragged ourselves to our computers and slogged out our posts - a little like those antartic explorers who ended up man hauling their sledges. Good thing you showed up. We'd just eaten our last husky and were starting to eye one another. Why do you think Fargon wanted to eat you? He wasn't kidding!
So what are you? A wussy boy or something that you whine about newbies being chased off? I've been attacked by masters of the art of getting rid of newbies, and I'm STILL here, much to LJ's dismay. And I'm just a dumb GIRL! Grow some balls and take it on the chin like a man! :lol:
Scenario #2: The habitual complainers could lighten up and realize that they aren't the king of the world, their unsolicitated advice is not appreciated...
I find it somewhat curious that when I poke my head in this thread I find that you're
still bitching about your assumed status here. Jesus, man.
@Kitsune: I found it curious that when I poked my head in this thread I found that there were people who were "still bitching" about, you know, whatever they are bitching about, and so I commented on that. Human behavior is fascinating to me.
Lj--I need a car. Can you help?
Scenario #2: The habitual complainers could lighten up and realize that they aren't the king of the world, their unsolicitated advice is not appreciated...
Scenario #3: Flint could grow up a little and realize that there's a significant difference between "complaints" and "unsolicited advice".
(How the self-centered pot doth call the "king-of-the world" black!)
Nah, that would never happen.
Lj--I need a car. Can you help?
YES

That will need to take a back seat to my my photo essay which I have been putting together during off times. The last poem I wrote which needs some real editing. It has some potential.
Best I can do is make a cheap rap song out of it.
I do believe I am too old and uneducated to be cool or smart or otherwise find a niche here.
Alright it was just my paranoia speaking but I do not live amongst you, not in your RL or Inet space, not-many on my side, no-one to second me in this churlish challenge, not sure where meaningful challenges are to be found.., you will probably all cheer the last deciding point at the end of this sentence? Ha, strung you along for another paragraph. and you must prove you are cleverer than me, or forever sleep uneasy.
Boo sucks?
Just where are you....where is your side?:confused:
it's a long tale, the current headlines read *SMOKER* alcoholic bipolar outrage!

Sorry...just had too much Flint yesterday... :-)
Gee, you just noticed? And by "us" you mean...welll...
well, of course, I meant 'me'. Too smart for
me. But, don't get all high and mighty about it. I'm pretty dumb and easily impressed.
And just so's ya know--I don't believe in treating all God's children the same. I think a good lot of them should be taken out and shot. :)
:apistola:
"And just so's ya know" I never said that, either.
Maggie likes to put words in my mouth, to invent imaginary arguments.

Never said what?
@Steve: My contention that every human being is valid has been mis-characterized by Maggie as a suggested course of action, which has nothing to do with what I said. You know, the old familiar routine where people disagree with an imaginary statement that you never made, while simultaneously refusing to actually read at face value the statements which you did make.
"Every human being is valid" doesn't mean anything at face value. It's a platitude.
It means exactly what it says (and it's not a suggested course of action).
Yes it does. (oh boy, we could do this all day, or not)
If it didn't "say anything" it would be impossible to disagree with.

CBOL
It doesn't say or mean anything at face value. It has to be interpreted based on context. The context you use it in is as a retort when someone says you're acting like an ass. The implication is that all forms of behavior are equally valid, which is very easy to disagree with. When you are called on it, you try to strip away that context and have the phrase stand on its own.
But it can't.
Because it is meaningless. A human doesn't have a "basis", legitimate or not.
I came directly to this page without reading any of the first bits. I have no idea what you're talking about.
But I'd just like to say, I like pie.
I like the way most people debate here, mostly without insults. (I'm being serious now... not sarcastic.)
I don't much like when people give ultimatums such as "Do it the way we like it or you can fuck off and die." Since they are just words on a screen, and don't sting in anyway, they don't bother me, per se, but do deflate my desire to discuss a topic. How can you debate with someone on a message board that wants you to "fuck off and die"? And they say they mean it seriously.
For the most part though, I like reading what I call "linguistic tennis". It's not the only thing I like on message boards, but it is a fun part.
"fuck off and die" by joch is not ok as he was a noob. "fuck off and die" by a celery is ok it seems.
I like fresh strawberry pie from Marie Calendars :)
linguistic tennis?
I don't think you know the definition of 'linguistics'. 'Cause, linguistitcs SUCKS.
anyway, nobody said 'fuck off and die', did they?
maybe it could have been "fit in or fuck off"?
what say ye steve?
*lets steve look into it* :p

I do know the definition of the word linguistics. I was an English major in college, and took a quite a few linguistics classes. Why do you think "linguistics SUCKS"?
Regarding.... the ultimatum... give me a sec...
I think Joch's problem was that there was, like, zero content that *wasn't* FOAD and its ilk...
...if you can't quit trying to make the cellar like AG - then fuck off and die. literally. i mean it.
i would rather see UT shut the cellar down than watch it devolve into the useless bullshit you think is entertainment. you've already got a place to post in your own special way - leave ours alone.
sincerely,
a member of the peanut gallery
There you go. Not only should I fuck off and die, he means it. Literally. (And really, how does one "fuck off" literally?)
I think Joch's problem was that there was, like, zero content that *wasn't* FOAD and its ilk...
damn, i gotta make a tiny trickle of a wave somewhere!
*just don't fit in...goes to the island of misfits* brrrr!

Oh, beg your pardon. I think it sucks as I am trying to wrap my mind around it now. I do really hate it. Why is everybody so fucking touchy around here lately? Jesus.

Wrong. I never used it in that context.
Would you peasants stop this bickering. i command you as Lord of the Cellar get along. Steve! fetch me some beer. Flint! Start a fire (hehehe). and Brianna, youve got a long night ahead of you so maybe you should invest in a local anesthetic.
:: blink, blink ::

*lets steve look into it* :p
well, i would say that you've mostly fit in. i see that i may have stung your fellings a little bit when i said that. i don't agree that you shoud fuck off or die. i'm much happier that you guys are fitting in.
"may have" stung, but didn't... but it was something to post about.
anyway... next topic.
jesus 450 posts already steve. thats how many i had when you started here. and ive been here over a year
I know people here think I post to increase that number of posts, but I don't even look at it. The important listing is the "Join Date", not the posts. If it were up to me, the post number should be put on the profile page or not shown at all.
hahahahahahahahahah, you're such a funny turd, Stevil ( i.e. "important listing = join date")
We all know the important big shot(s) are the guest(s)... they make up the majority.
In fact I need to start a thread about "THEM"
Why are you laughing, Tiddy? I wasn't joking. The join date is more important to me. The number of posts is distracting.
OK, no "hahahahaha"
I'll LOL LOL LOLOLOLOLL
But,........blah, after a few weeks, I sorta get the sense that really what newbies and ancients might do is looks at the "join date" as a reference to bias. (especially since the advent of all this new meat that has appeared over past few weeks) ... anyway, I hear ya... to you, post numbers are destracting.
post numbers are not destracting.
The join date dosn't creat bias unless a new join date is pared with an ag username. THAT is destracting. It says. I belong to that community. I do not want to stand on my own merit and be an individual here. I want the association.
I respect the people who do want to be an individual here and repect the uniqueness of the site by not revealing their ag username. IF that is where they are from. Especially if said person had left ag a year ago. ( ie: like me)
Who thought is was in whos best interest to reveal mine? I will know the answer to that one day.
Let's carry on that theme? Why don't we just post everyones alias so we can really get bias down.( dosn't use a sarcasitic emoticon so bias that I am a hostile biatch can take root again)
True text interpretation is only for those who do not use emoticons. They are the only ones who can decern true human emotion via text only venues.
How's that for a log?
p.s. There was no emotion attached to that post. I was mearly pissing in the wind again. Beastie made me do it or the devil. Whichever works.

Not sure what you're saying here (I mean REALLY not sure). But, to me the number of posts is distracting. It's not something to be celebrated at least.
@ steve
I suggest reading it one sentance at a time.
You are talking about bias in join dates?
I say there is bias in using your ag username.
Is that simple enough for you?
Not sure what you're saying here (I mean REALLY not sure). But, to me the number of posts is distracting. It's not something to be celebrated at least.
Probably not, if all you do is post one sentence or one word. :rolleyes:
"Probably not, if all you do is post one sentence or one word. "
That to me looks as though it is one sentence and it gained you an entire post in count.
*pulls your hair*
:p
How's that for trouble making? :D
Yay! I am feeling more at home now :) *not sure which home*
*sings to all my voices*
"Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees
And begged you not to leave
Because I'd go berserk?
Well. . .
You left me anyhow
And then the days got worse and worse
And now you see I've gone
Completely out of my mind
And. . .
They're coming to take me away, HA HA
They're coming to take me away, HO HO HEE HEE HA HA
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see
Those nice, young men
In their clean, white coats
And they're coming to take me away, Ha-haaa!
You thought it was a joke
And so you laughed
You laughed when I had said
That losing you would make me flip my lid
Right. . .
You know you laughed, I heard you laugh
You laughed, you laughed and laughed
And then you left
But now you know I'm utterly mad!
And. . .
They're coming to take me away, HA HA
They're coming to take me away, HO HO HEE HEE HA HA
To the happy home
With trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket weavers who sit and smile
And twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they're coming to take me away, Ha-haaa!
I cooked your food
I cleaned your house
And this is how you pay me back
For all my kind, unselfish loving deeds?!!
Hah. . .
Well you just wait
They'll find you yet
And when they do they'll
Put you in the ASPCA, you mangy mutt!
And. . .
They're coming to take me away, HA HA
They're coming to take me away, HO HO HEE HEE HA HA
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time

Damn, i really should have broken all that up in one word sentences!
:smack:
"Probably not, if all you do is post one sentence or one word. "
That to me looks as though it is one sentence and it gained you an entire post in count.
*pulls your hair*
:p
How's that for trouble making? :D
Eh, you're gonna have to do better than that. I was merely making an observation, no need to pull my hair over it. I've made plenty of posts that go on for pages and make the reader's eyes glaze over, and that's if anybody bothers to read them all.
I like counting coup better than hair pulling, BTW. ;)
but...but...but.... *counts hairs..splits a few whilst at it*
I was only playin! *curls up in ball and cries*
"make the reader's eyes glaze over"
When this happens in conferences, classes, lectures....etc... it usually means folks are bored and feel the need to leave.
They're coming to take me away, HA HA...
I had that as a 45rpm record when it was in the Top 40, artist "Napoleon XIV" on Warner Bros. The B-side was the same song recorded in reverse, and the label was mirror image of the A-side label.
Reverse? Too funny. I only heard it on the radio back then. We managed to smuggle a Cheech and Chong album in the house, we would gather round and listen to it on a low volume and giggle ever so quietly.
I have the song on my old pc. I may have to d/ld it again. I was just singing it to my kiddle and my throat started huting before i finished. :)
When that song came out.... it sorta blurres things out for me... "They're coming to take me away, haha"... and somebody's song "Hot Time Summer in the City" .... and "Paperback Ridddddddder"... and "I'm Feeling Good Vibrations"... (all those songs maybe years apart, but on NPR today, they talked of a memory miricle(ist) who could recall any day in her life for the past 25yrs or so)
I LOVE TANGENTS.....

Yup, I'm sure I've chased off 100's if not 1,000's. If reading my posts didn't do the trick, a person could just continue on to a few of tw's. The sounds of mouse's clicking desperately to find other sites could be deafening around here at times. Ahhh, the good old days! :lol:
PS I was just a kid when that song came out. I used to love/hate it. Now I remember it fondly.
34 votes in this thread is pretty impressive, I think. There's 45 people signed up for the Frappr Map.
Huh? people ACTUALLY voted?
What the yuck?!!

Yes Steve, you are very impressive.:rolleyes:
@skysidhe: Does it make you feel good to be so hateful? Do you benefit in some way by spewing judgmental rants at people? I'm just curious, but, whatever floats your boat, it doesn't bother me, it just makes me feel sad for you that you feel the need to act that way. By the way, my actual name is Flint, that's why I use Flint as a username if it's available. I don't think it matters who came from what website or whatever, that is so childish to me that I cannot even comprehend it.
Yes Steve, you are very impressive.:rolleyes:
Not me, doofus. The fact that this poll got put down by some long-timers here and it did well. I really meant it as a fun thread, and I'm amazed some got so upset about it.
Although, you're right, beyond this thread, and even beyond this site... I am damn impressive. :D
i like it that ther were 3 people that voted for the Undertoad selection. Ut, did dagnabit and some other unknown puppet vote?
I like that too. 3 votes for that top slot, but none for the 2nd spot. Funny.
We don't have site stats on AG, and they mean nothing to me here...
The join date is more important to me. The number of posts is distracting.
34 votes in this thread is pretty impressive, I think.
... and somebody's song "Hot Time Summer in the City" ....
Loving Spooonful...and it's "Hot *Town*"
and "Paperback Ridddddddder"...
Beatles. "Writer", not "Rider"
and "I'm Feeling Good Vibrations"...
Beach Boys.
Margaret, you are so clever.
You just love attacking me, don't you? Is it just me? Or are you like this to most newbies? Or is it New Yorkers? Are not happy with your situation in 'real life' and like taking it out on others on the internet?

You glean much from little.
I'm sorry if you thought it was all about you
In fact it wasn't. I thought we had a truce thingy going.
It was a generic statement.An observation just like anyother. No better or worse. I am valid. My opinion is valid. Now start respecting my individuality please. :) ( oh and I posted a smiley so you don't accuse me of things that are beyond your ability to decern)
you truce breaker you.
oh and ps. I am very apathetic to what your name is.

Awwww...lj, I almost feel like overpaying for a new car...
You just love attacking me, don't you?
Do you consider every time you have BS called on you--in your own words, from the same thread, no less--to be "an attack"? And that it must be evidence of some life problem or deep prejudice on the part of the caller, or some other red herring?
Must suck to be you. Bad life situation, etc.

I think what she said pretty well sums it up.
@ Flint. I am not sure why my comments over others with the same intent would draw from you such an emotional reaction.
Please forgive me for asking because I've been thinking this for some time.
I think you are a really hair trigger emotional guy. Quick to anger esp at women or ARE a woman.
or maybe you are just Tom Cruise incognito. * shrug* I dunno what your problem is. If you can't answer a question or respond to a comment with the same regard you'd give anyone else then please refrain. Thank you.:)
Except for Tom Cruise like freaky behavior comment and the fact I think you might be female what other hateful things have I posted??
The sarcasm? Sarcasm is not hateful and I don't want anyone to feel hated.
really
I am not sure why my comments over others with the same intent would draw from you such an emotional reaction

Here's the whole problem: I have no idea what ^^^these sentences^^^ even mean.
Awwww...lj, I almost feel like overpaying for a new car...
I don;t care how much you pay for the car as long as you let me overcharge you for the undercoating and the warranty....oh, and Gap insurance. maybe a little bit of disability or life insurance......LoJack with that?? how about window etching or Road hazard protection? Now would that be 84 months or 96 to keep that payment down?

I'm not a big deal here, but I like posting, the people seem nice.

Well, I'm sure a well placed emoticon would have put it all in perspective for you. I'm ever so glad that you all have made Home Base a microcosm of AG. It lets me know that all your (plural) whining and complaints about the wonderfulness of AG versus the awfulness of the Cellar is merely "sound and fury, signifying nothing."
Are you sad-facing at me? I like you, skysidhe. You're confusing, but I like you.
whining and complaints about the wonderfulness of AG versus the awfulness of the Cellar
Do you have any tangible examples of these supposed posts? Quote?
band new here. hi everyone.
Where in Texas? I'm in the D/FW Metroplex.
same here flint. ft. worth.
You play piano? I'm a drummer.
i noticed that. yep, i play in a cover band here, and i do some studio work.
you have a band?
Do you have any tangible examples of these supposed posts? Quote?
I give you some of the best of AG members' top 40 hits over the past few weeks:
Fuck off and die, you total and utter fucking cunts – Jochser
I knew there was trouble, right here in CellarCity.... That's why I came in guns blazing.. Not wanting to start trouble, not mind gahoofing about abit.. Thats why I stated the obvious... " resistance is futile" – Tiddy Baby
But I don't care if they cringe or if anyone is annoyed by this or any thread I make. I may even annoy the other AGer/now Dwellars. But you know, to me its...
you know. – Steve BSJB
To be honest, I've mostly given up on what I consider to be "quality" - the reason being it's hard to find people who are interested in staying at what I consider to be that level. – Flint
Not sure who you're talking to but we don't care that you're here either...yet...
you people are like apes around a monolith learning how to beat bones on rocks for the first time... – Stevenez
crap,
I only made it to the #2 spot in the AG top 40, and as I stated in the rest of the original message, .... it was because the Ancients already had an attitude before I showed up to tease and play... I was poking fun at ourselves (the AudioGalaxy Alien Invaders,... duh)
But then again, ol obnoxious "fuk off an die Jocher" is hard to beat...
I, too, nominate him #1
whining and complaints about the wonderfulness of AG versus the awfulness of the Cellar
So, you weren't able to find any of these supposed comments, then? Still looking?
jochser: he says the same thing to everybody, on every website, including AG
TiddyBaby: no comparison of Cellar versus AG anywhere in that post
SteveBsjb: he even says that other AGers may be annoyed by his threads
Flint: I was talking about AG when I posted that in original context
Stevonez: he ended up being the biggest ass-kisser in the bunch, didn't he?
jochser: he says the same thing to everybody, on every website, including AG
He must have made a lot of friends.
Well, he's a misanthrope. I don't know if they make "friends" . . . I found him ineresting, as a person, but I had approx. five years to get to know him. (and that isn't the only thing he says, he just like saying it)
Do you consider every time you have BS called on you--in your own words, from the same thread, no less--to be "an attack"? And that it must be evidence of some life problem or deep prejudice on the part of the caller, or some other red herring?
Must suck to be you. Bad life situation, etc.
But do you like attacking me?
Someone catch me up so I don't have to read through 14 pages of this shit.
Did we absorb another forum's membership? Why do they hate each other? Why do they hate us? Or do they? Reader's Digest version, anyone?
Welcome, noobs :celebrat:
Hiya Noodle. Our site shutdown for a while, I found this place and passed the word to some others. Our "style" of posting is rubbing some here the wrong way. I don't hate anyone though, and try not to attack or be rude to anyone directly. Though some here think my posting in and of itself is a blight on the Cellar. Others have been very nice and welcoming. Some have grown to like us along the way too.
My feeling though is that there are some here that I will NEVER win over. But, that's a message board for you, no big deal.
Hi MrNoodle, basically we want to know, do you like wet t-shirt contests, or mudwrestling, or spelling contests.
:)
Noodle would prefer the spelling contest.
But do you like attacking me?
If by "attacking you" you mean "challenging your statements" (which would be a euphemism for calling BS)...sometimes. But I doubt I have the time or energy to call BS on you every time you do BS.
Of course, I don't see identity between challenging you and attacking you. It seems you'd rather call it an attack, so you don't actually have to respond to the issue raised, preferring instead to try to elicit sympathy for the poor little noob boy from New York who's being beaten up by nasty old Maggie. (Your chances of success, while small, are probably better than that of formulating any plausible response to your busted-ass position re: the original issue.)
That's why I called it it a
red herring. And it still is.
Of course, pointing out your red herring must be "an attack" too. Poor little Stevie.
Noodle would prefer the spelling contest.
in the mud, with wet tshirts.
So, Maggie, that's an emphatic "yes" then?
If by "attacking you" you mean "challenging your statements" (which would be a euphemism for calling BS)...sometimes.
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.
I think we all have to accept that "taste" is subjective. People like different things. It doesn't seem like rocket science to me.
this thread has lasted (not only as a vehicle for you to insult me), and the actual poll keeps getting votes.
Yes, it's like watching a car crash on the side of the highway.
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. :driving: :dedhorse:
its not something you want to be a part of
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?
@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?

*tries to out do*
So Steve, your a guitar? Mind if I play you?
I like mrnoolde. Anyone who can be calm and funny while stepping in poo is a big shot in my book.
At work today we spelled in shaving cream. That's sort of like mud only cleaner.

Maybe we should have polled that instead. I prefer local bands myself.
So, Maggie, that's an emphatic "yes" then?
No.
Chey, I like the way your mind works.
No.
Did you change your mind? That's okay, if you did.

No.
I think Margaret wants me. I am quite a catch, you know. :heart-on:
when ever my girls want something (foodwise) the other has...the one with the food will lick it all over and then offer it to the other.
*licks Steve all over* :D
Steve isn't one of these "one-pump chumps" either . . .
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".
You seem to have confused a vote *in* the poll with a vote *for* the pool or a vote for the thread. 1.3% of registered users isn't exactly impressive...especially since many of them are from your AG buddies; how many of them no one can tell; since sockpuppets are easy to make.
As for views, we're back to stats hypnosis again.
I will take a leap...
By all means do.

"Big shots" is your own little passive-agressive coinage. And again, you're using site stats as a measure of "how well the thread did". Site stats don't measure any useful quality of a thread any more than how many cop cars show up is a measure of the quality of a party.
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.
Trolling generates interaction. Even if you call it "style"; it's been done.
But you keep scanning every post I have, and quote them, and attack or challenge me. Because, you enjoy it.
I take some modicum of pleasure from busting on the bustable. I can gaurantee I won't "scan every post you have". Besides...aren't you "telling me how to post"? Pot, kettle, etc. :-)
*licks Steve all over* :D
Ew. Not sure which is grosser...the offer or you having to lick him.
Steve is most assuredly not my type.
For someone that doesn't scan every post, you sure do like to dissect most of them. I am not a troll, no more than you are a witch.
Who do you get along with here, Margaret?
I think Maggie is trying to tell everyone that she gets along with pussies.
when ever my girls want something (foodwise) the other has...the one with the food will lick it all over and then offer it to the other.
*licks Steve all over* :D
Now I don't have to shower!
Margaret... you really need to lighten up. Although I did notice that :-) smiley you put at the end of your post up there. You're warming up to me, I know you are!
Well, I could chat about me all day, but I have to run! Happy hour beckons! PEACE!

"Most" of 468? Not even close. Just the more egregious ones that come to my attention.

Actually, I *am* of pagan/wiccan leanings. But you haven't been here long enough to know that.
Who do you get along with here, Margaret?
See previous answer. If you'd been paying attention to anything here other than your stats, you might know already.
Well, I could chat about me all day...
<i>Ipse dixit.</i>
I think Maggie is trying to tell everyone that she gets along with pussies.
Not
everyone...the "old skool big shots" already know I'm bi.
Are you sad-facing at me? I like you, skysidhe. You're confusing, but I like you.
no mari-
Her opionion matters to me as does anyone this internet house belongs too.
She dosn't use personal put downs while liking me. (or not)
Please don't tell me again how cognitively limited you are. I don't like your two facedness. The game you are playing here. Why can't you just be nice?
A
might be useful there. There's nothing in the last few pages that seems to be relevant...
haha quite true. We keep trying for relevancy. Just alot of us shouting to the moon. Might as well be for any good as it's getting anyone.

did you mean to post this here, or was it a reply to a PM? it doesn't seem to fit with anything i saw. ??

There I fixed it!
I tried the 'reply to this post' icon thinking it would attach itself to the relevant post. I guess it dosn't work?
There's a 'submit reply' at the bottom and at both sides of a persons post.
I was just experimenting. :blush: :p
One of the best posts today.
uhhhhh.....thanks????
:)
how many of them no one can tell; since sockpuppets are easy to make
ha ha ha Yes it's a conspiracy, an army of accounts, amassed to take on the mighty [SIZE="4"][COLOR="Orange"]
Maggie[/COLOR][/SIZE] !!!

just a cover band. we play around the metroplex. lots of bar gigs too, but some private parties and corporate shows (more money in those hills).
let me know the name of the band, and i'll come give it a listen (if you please).
I'm new here, and likely to be so for some time. In relation to this forum, I don't know enough about it to say for sure where I may end up. I dislike overstatement.
Oh, skysidhe, you were calling me two-faced, cognitively limited, and accusing me of using personal putdowns, playing games, and not being nice?! This is the stuff that comes out of left field that I don't understand about you. I really think you are probably a nice person, but I have the damndest time understanding what you are ever talking about. I choose to believe that in real life, you don't come across as such a wack-a-doodle, the way you do, in my perception, here. All I have ever said to you is that I like you, I think you are an interesting person, and I have trouble understanding you, but I don't think that should keep us from getting along. Then you bust out with some really incredibly insulting tirade against me, and when I ask you wahat the deal is, why did you do that, you act all innocent. Can you explain this to me? I really am trying very hard here to understand where you are coming from. Work with me. A little. Please.
I am not a troll, no more than you are a witch.
Your statement is a) false b) disrespectful to trolls c) and witches.
Dear Flint
I'd private message this but I'd worry you'd lie and twist the content.That's not only my experience with you. Since that is what you seem to do best.
for gods sakes , give me your phone number and I'll call you. I don't want to leave here with the impression you have in your head. I'd like to clear up your confusion over the phone. Not on the internet but I will give it one last try.
You won't hear the person you describe. You will hear someone say, she dosn't understand how someone can be negative regarding someone and still like them.I don't really care if you like me. It bugs me you pair the negative together with liking. You feel sorry for me? I feel sorry for your family. Do you routinely kick them before you tell them how much you like them? You can't say to another human, I like you but here are all your faults. blah I happen to think that is two faced. I don't like people such as you are describing me as. What do you care if I am this or that? Why all the attention? It seems to be the females you bash over anyone else. You don't address points. You just want to talk about how vauge, hostile,hateful,confusing,how much you are confused,ranting, tirades....on and on while doing the very same thing. It's two faced.
I think you are unfair to maggie and mari and anyone else who has stood up to your twisting of words to gain whatever vanage point you seem to be after.
I don't think you are nice. Plain and simple. I say this without rancor or any undue emotion. Now if you want to keep talking give me a number.You'll hear a kind voice. Very sad that you are so jacked up and all about me, or maggie or anyone else that stand up to your behavior. Which is wrong.
lastly,
I didn't say you were cognitively limited. You did. If you can't understand me then please just stop talking to me. I am way past interested in arguing these non points. If you are really interested in my explaining. ( which I doubt ) give me your phone number. I only say this to show how sincere I am. You seem to be obssessed with this image of me instead of addressing points. The point isn't suppose to be me. It was suppose to be this cool place I feel you have ruined it for me. I am walk away for a while.
I am finsihed with this game you seem to be playing. I am sad more than anything. really. ready to call it quits again. Life is better than internet dramas :(
On 04-20-2006, I had the opportunity to be "A Big Shot" in The Cellar, "The Big Shot"; or, simply "Big Shot" of The Cellar. Trust me, I checked the Members List and it appears that none of these usernames have been taken. I considered that "the better part of valor is discretion" [ Henry IV, Part One, Falstaff's motto]; so, I come before you humbly as "NoBoxes."
I'm here by a member's invitation; but, I hope not to leave the same way. If I ever create any hard feelings, please let me know immediately; so, I can make amends.
The aforementioned is what I have gleaned from this thread. Thank you for your contribution. :)
as the big man here at the cellar, i welcome you, noboxes to our wonderful and sticky community

That's not the way it works. We'd forgive your transgressions then go around randomly accusing people of inviting you when they piss us off.
So, stick around for the Inquisition. :lol:
some one in this thread is legitimately crazy.
This is like the unofficial welcome newbie thread, with interesting tangent debates, attacks, and challenges, pictures of kitties, and "wack-a-doodles".
:( I guess I must be either unwelcome or totally insignificant
