Title: Obligatory Intro Thread!
Post by: Lazarus_Grimm on May 30, 2011, 08:29:06 PM
What's up, dudes? I should put down a bunch of crap you don't really care about, because it's some kind of "tradition". Being realistic for fun and profit!


So I'm kind of a jack-of-all-trades kind of guy. I'm an English nerd, a gamer, a foodie, and a root beer snob. I dick around with a little bit of art, but mostly I don't have time for it these days. I'm a big indie music lover, and I'm always looking for bitchin' new bands because I tend to get bored fast. Other than that, I'm narcissistic, pedantic, sometimes an asshole, and almost always sarcastic. It's just what I do.

... because it's some kind of "tradition".

Some traditions stem from practical and even vital rules for living. For instance, shellfish may have been dangerously perishable in the days before refrigeration, causing death by ingestion, perhaps prompting some ancient cultures to impose a ban on lobster. Likewise, in forums past, posting without introduction often caused immediate and painful death by banination, perhaps prompting some ancient geeks to codify this practice in the Holy TOS.

(By the way, I don't really buy the shellfish story.)

Heh, anything'll keep if you dump enough salt on it, right?


Reigning in the old sarcastic snap, I'd rather not get banned before I made ten whole posts.

You'll find that most people here have pretty thick skins and are hard to offend. Except that Juggstown Massacre guy. He's a little manic-depressive.

Yeah, you guys are fun, in that just-a-little-of-kilter kind of way.

I'm still ON kilter and the methadone clinic refuses to take me seriously.

It's getting bad, man.

It's getting bad, or better?



I mean, I don't know how much you actually enjoy the shakes.

Mmmmmm, shakes.  My favourite is blueberry, followed closely by banana.

Wait... he said of kilter, not off kilter.
I'm not from kilter.
I'm a girl, we just call them skirts.

Fuck! Eff button stuck, TOTALLY not my mistake! Can't believe I didn't catch it though. I claim no fault.

Blaming the hardware when we all know it's user error.  So are you in marketing or sales?

Good answer.  Get yourself a sponsor and work the steps.

I think as long as it was his own eleven year-old it's cool, but killing other people's animals is like, destruction of property, right?

The ASPCA usually gets pretty riled up either way and I think there are these things called humane laws. Like animal rights laws.

So you gently euthanize the kid and it's cool? Making a note here, for when I each the appropriate age...

Seriously, after twenty-one, you've got twenty-five for insurance purposes and that's it. They need another "allowance" at like, forty. When you turn forty-one, you can just drug it up. Drugs all day if you want. It'll be like college, man.
