Caltrops - Rants





	[quote name="Ray of Light "]I compiled this by searching aim logs for the word "thread." It was going to be a very comprehensive list, but there are just too many notable threads <i>every single month.</i> <a href="http://www.caltrops.com/pointy.php?action=viewPost&pid=12606">Is now the time to go LCD?</a> by CattleHumper 02/15/2005 <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: Despite everyone starting out with the best of intentions, this Cattlehumper thread has taken a turn for the worse. <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: Yeah, hilariously. <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: At first I didn't care about that thread, but now it's fun. <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: I feel he lead the charge in taking the thread down, I merely tweaked it a bit. <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: Yes the responsibility rests on his shoulders. "A debate would be nice, but I see no supporting arguments. I must therefore give this thread a grade of F-" <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: Also he likes being called an idiot so burn on you for doing so. <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: Played right into his clutches. <a href="http://www.caltrops.com/pointy.php?action=viewPost&pid=12527">Review request: LotK The Third Age, GBA version</a> by FABIO 02/15/2005 <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: What's it even about? I ignored it at first because I don't play GBA, and then it somehow exploded into a fierce debate over christ knows what <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: It's no good. It's no CattlleHumper monitor. <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: No matter where I click in the thread I see anger and incoherence. It could be read in any order <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: Basically Casual Observer trying to explain that he's NOT a Mysterio. <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: hmm this stoo post is funny <a href="http://www.caltrops.com/pointy.php?action=viewPost&pid=12749">www.caltrops.com/pointy.php?action=viewPost&pid=12749</a> ... thread redeemed! <a href="http://www.caltrops.com/pointy.php?action=viewPost&pid=13536">Lou Dobbs, yesterday: Canada says no to missile defence</a> by Fussbett 03/03/2005 <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: Lou Dobbs on Paul Martin saying no to the missile defence shield. <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: "Public opinion on the shield has been negative in Canada, so many think Martin made this move only for political reasons" <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: As opposed to personal reasons. <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: Right. <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: How dare he represent the will of the people. <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: I can see how it would appears strange to an American <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: Look for a post soon! <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: Once the transcript comes online. <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: That ought to a trigger a civilized and informed discussion <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: I look forward to it <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: It will be no Lou Dobbs China thread [<a href="http://www.caltrops.com/pointy.php?action=viewPost&pid=8027">IBM Taken Over by Red China</a> by Fussbett 12/08/2004], but maybe there will be some good Worm/laudablepuss discourse. <a href="http://www.caltrops.com/pointy.php?action=viewPost&pid=13697">Xenosaga 2 (5)</a> by Creexul :( 03/05/2005 <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: I can't stop posting into this thread!!! <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: And so, on that fateful day full of fate where the sun rose in the south and golfbags became magically filled with huge flopping dicks... <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: yeah that was really great <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: how anyone could think it's boring is beyond me. Making fun of anime people, making fun of Japan.... It has everything! <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: Between you and me, I think that dude is maybe an anime fan. <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: I bet you're right <a href="http://www.caltrops.com/pointy.php?action=viewPost&pid=13789">Ten "unmissable" examples of New Games Journalism</a> by Choson 03/04/2005 <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: Is the identity of Mixerman's band known? To you I mean? <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: No, and believe me it drives me crazy. <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: Pre-Umberto someone on Caltrops said "It's probably Metallica" <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: Like a stupid idiot. <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: Yeah I recall that but it's stupid. <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: They backed it up with "on the internet, that's the thinking..." <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: For one thing he says the band is unknown (at recording time) outside of the music biz <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: Well sure, there are a thousand reasons. <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: Literally thousands. <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: We could start and end at Metallica being excellent musicians, love them or hate them. <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: And I also get the feeling that we'll discover the band to be... "The Alteriors" or something. <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: And we'll say "oh" <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: There's an upscale furniture shop here called Alteriors <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: ok, so I'd say "oh", but you'd say that. <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: I thought it was a made-up word, but now you've used it too <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: I assumed the band would try to be original too. <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: In a crappy way. <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: That's my Charlie Kaufman's "The Three" <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: Donald posted today about Woody Allen. That line made me laugh again. <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: Incidentally the same thread where kthor assumes there are wire racks full of the Village Voice in delis and pizza parlors the world over <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: And then there was a boom <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: If it had come just a little earlier, it'd have drowned out his post and saved him some face <a href="http://www.caltrops.com/pointy.php?action=viewPost&pid=13975">Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries review</a> by The Joosh 03/07/2005 <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: go douche NT by The Joosh 03/09/2005, 12:01pm CST <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: My favourite post of the MechWhatever thread. <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: The parent is so far away, it's impossible to know the target of "go douche" without putting a ruler onto the screen. <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: And secondly, you can parse the sentiment in two ways. <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: you sure can <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: he's replying to casual observer, I've deduced <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: The trick is to look 2 down, at Fahb's post. Then find the parent of that (from subject) and go down 2 <a href="http://www.caltrops.com/pointy.php?action=viewPost&pid=15111">Get Your War On updated a lot: Terri Shiavo</a> by Fussbett 03/22/2005 <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: Denis Obell is back! <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: I saw! <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: I have to give him credit for battling on three fronts simultaneously <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: I think his response to you is the worst. <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: Apparently any jokes about Christianity or Terri Schiavo mean that you hate your parents and are an adolescent. <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: This is a defense of Jerkcity�s "feeding tube in her cunt" joke? "The Christian Right won�t change their minds, so why should I bother having any kind of mature opinion on the subject?" Please. <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: There are problems with all of the responses. Zseni's OP provided the most openings for his brand of rhetoric to not sound insane. <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: What is that? Why don't you have a mature opinion on this, Ray? <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: We all need a mature opinion on this. <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: Jerkcity should've gone to black for the day with a solemn message about life. <a href="http://www.caltrops.com/pointy.php?action=viewPost&pid=16964">Our homeland may be a little too secure.</a> by jeep 04/17/2005 <font color=lightgreen>Ray</font>: the jeep knife thread was very good <font color=lightskyblue>Fussbett</font>: oh totally [/quote]
