That's pretty cool.  Thanks for putting that together for us, Ross. Now I can start sending Bunky pictures directly from Fugly!!

No one's going to raz me about sucking up to Ross here??  Wow.  I really MUST come across as a sad little individual.

Too bad you're not coming out to Zilla's this Saturday for his halloween party.  I'm going to go dressed as a martyr.  It's a role I'm particularly good at.
From: The Bone Entered on: October 22, 2008 2:39 PM
Dude, half the time I have no fucking idea what you are talking about on here.
From: NickNick Entered on: October 22, 2008 3:02 PM
Thank you.  I'll make sure to let the bag know exactly what went down here.  But I'll have to wait until next Tuesday.  But seriously, thanks for showing the way out of the only thing to happen in twenty years.  HA HA HA!!! wait... what towel?

At least your posts are consistent.

The Bone said: At least your posts are consistent. HAHAHA, I know what you are saying. Nick - Dude... what is going on with you?  Your posts took a serious turn in the past weeks.  Are your issues getting worse?  In all seriousness, you need to talk to someone.

Can anyone say Crockett?

Ah, now you're calling me Crockett?!?  Fuck. Touche's all around, everyone. And in reply to Fatty, Way ahead of you.  Hopefully I can leave the little bitch at home on Saturday.  Perhaps a scheduled leave of absence would not hurt.  I know you all would enjoy it.

Ross said: Can anyone say Crockett? In redirecting me to this older post, I found this gem courtesy of Ross. It's appropriate in this thread as well: "The last two comments of yours have been nigh-on unintelligible and I must confess I'm not keen on having to scratch my head wondering what the hell you mean every time I read something you post. Focus, man! Communicate!"

Nick, I think the good people at Shire Pharmaceuticals might be able to help you out...   Did wonders for m... Oooh, a butterfly....

There's an interesting article in last month's Playboy on Adderall. I wouldn't mind giving it a try.
From: RobotSpider Entered on: October 24, 2008 10:54 AM
I know the general concensus on the site is anti-pharma, but I can honestly say if I hadn't found something that worked (Adderall, though I tried lots of others first) I would be in a very different place today.  Probably divorced, unemployed, etc. etc.
From: NickNick Entered on: October 24, 2008 12:02 PM
I agree Robot.  I'm not sure if I would even be living if it weren't for the meds and Megan. I just watched a movie last night called "American Splendor".  About writer Harvey Pekar.  Great movie.  Great insight into the creative mind.  Also recommend the bio "Crumb."  These might make it a little easier to understand me.  Mind you, I'm only comparing myself to Pekar and Crumb on the most basic of levels.
From: The Bone Entered on: October 24, 2008 2:50 PM
We discussed American Splendor way back in 2003. Most seemed to like it. I thought it was boring and I'd just as soon throw Pekar to the lions.
From: NickNick Entered on: October 24, 2008 3:30 PM
If Pekar bugged you, then don't watch "Crumb".  That man is a neurotic asshole..... that I somehow identify with.
From: The Bone Entered on: October 24, 2008 3:56 PM
How's this for a crazy bitch? Beats her own ass up, carves a "B" in her face for McCain.

Ross said: Can anyone say Crockett? Kick a brother while he's not around, huh? Just because you couldn't keep up with my advanced stream of consciousness and worldliness, it wasn't wrong - just different. "Oh, what's a cheese bus? ....a window licker, that's nonsense." And in reality, a part of the vernacular of folks on the East Coast. "But I never heard of it, so Crockett is just making shit up." Hey if you can't understand something, then it must be mocked and belittled. (Sounds like the stance of a certain political party and various religious zealots.) Yeah, I do throw out some dumb shit to throw people off guard ("Don't ping my cheese with your bandwidth," a classic one liner from Dilbert) - life is too short to be so damn serious. It's all in fun. Just trying to keep people on their toes. All in how I roll. I close with the immortal words of Adam Savage, "I reject your reality and substitute my own." Yeah, I'm back - so?

(Sounds like the stance of a certain political party and various religious zealots.) First of all, you're writing those quotes like anyone actually said those things, instead of making it clear that that is your interpretation of what I (or others) said. Second, the argument that because someone uses a particular vernacular as you put it, it therefore is valid communication with this particular group is false.  Communication is a two-way street (help me out here Fatty the Communication Major): your audience must also speak the same language as you if you wish to be understood.  You don't see me posting Swahili on here and getting indignant if no one understands me.  So you can roll with nonsense if you like, but don't get upset if I or others call you out and "mocking and belittling" ensues. :)

Of course that is only my interpretation of the group's reaction - what else could it be? I never professed to be a mind reader. It is purely conjecture. The responses of the group clearly stamped my comments as being utter nonsense. But even if you do not understand Swahili, the message is not invalid. I explained my comments and we should have moved on to the next round of nonsense. Instead it becomes a big affront to your intellectual superiority to even be exposed to a such a comment. Indignant? I believe that was your role in the whole affair. Was it the flippant "stoopid white boyz" comment? It was quite humorous to see the group prattle on about a tossed, ill struck attempt to be funny. I only bordered on being indignant at the way a silly little comment was blown totally out of proportion - it was a waste of time.  I was through with it. I eventually just faded out. Why am I bothering now? Why not? Got a reaction out of you, didn't I?
From: Ross Entered on: October 27, 2008 5:42 PM
Actually Crockett, you only explained yourself at our prodding.  And I'm not nearly as excited/excitable as you apparently think.  I just wonder if you came back for any other reason than to pick a fight?

They may not, and that's for you to argue (for what it's worth, I think it's a perfectly valid comparison), but it would be a false analogy, not a straw man.
From: Crockett Entered on: October 27, 2008 5:51 PM
Of course at your prodding - it wasn't until I realized that you did not understand that I felt compelled to elaborate. And in the four hours after I posted the comment, there was a whole line of questioning already posted - I didn't get the chance to reply. Ross, I am not here to fight. But it is really apparent that you have to give as well as you get on this site to survive. Can't I join in the fun, too?

Nick Nick, Ross is our Grand Master.  Only those with bearing the highest midi-chlorian counts would be able to serve under him and learn the ways....
From: Ross Entered on: October 27, 2008 8:32 PM
Midichlorians!  Blasphemy!
From: NickNick Entered on: October 28, 2008 12:20 AM
Grand Master??  I'm not sure.  I always pictured Ross more as a Sith Lord.  Either way, your point was made.

I finally figured out what's wrong with me.
