Best threads, February - April 2005 by Ray of Light 11/13/2008, 6:18am PST
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 every single month.

Is now the time to go LCD? by CattleHumper 02/15/2005
Ray: Despite everyone starting out with the best of intentions, this Cattlehumper thread has taken a turn for the worse.
Fussbett: Yeah, hilariously.
Fussbett: At first I didn't care about that thread, but now it's fun.
Fussbett: I feel he lead the charge in taking the thread down, I merely tweaked it a bit.
Ray: 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-"
Ray: Also he likes being called an idiot so burn on you for doing so.
Fussbett: Played right into his clutches.


Review request: LotK The Third Age, GBA version by FABIO 02/15/2005
Ray: 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
Fussbett: It's no good. It's no CattlleHumper monitor.
Ray: No matter where I click in the thread I see anger and incoherence. It could be read in any order
Fussbett: Basically Casual Observer trying to explain that he's NOT a Mysterio.
Ray: hmm this stoo post is funny www.caltrops.com/pointy.php?action=viewPost&pid=12749 ... thread redeemed!



Lou Dobbs, yesterday: Canada says no to missile defence by Fussbett 03/03/2005
Fussbett: Lou Dobbs on Paul Martin saying no to the missile defence shield.
Fussbett: "Public opinion on the shield has been negative in Canada, so many think Martin made this move only for political reasons"
Ray: As opposed to personal reasons.
Fussbett: Right.
Fussbett: How dare he represent the will of the people.
Ray: I can see how it would appears strange to an American
Fussbett: Look for a post soon!
Fussbett: Once the transcript comes online.
Ray: That ought to a trigger a civilized and informed discussion
Ray: I look forward to it
Fussbett: It will be no Lou Dobbs China thread [IBM Taken Over by Red China by Fussbett 12/08/2004], but maybe there will be some good Worm/laudablepuss discourse.


Xenosaga 2 (5) by Creexul :( 03/05/2005
Fussbett: I can't stop posting into this thread!!!
Fussbett: 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...
Ray: yeah that was really great
Ray: how anyone could think it's boring is beyond me. Making fun of anime people, making fun of Japan.... It has everything!
Fussbett: Between you and me, I think that dude is maybe an anime fan.
Ray: I bet you're right



Ten "unmissable" examples of New Games Journalism by Choson 03/04/2005
Ray: Is the identity of Mixerman's band known? To you I mean?
Fussbett: No, and believe me it drives me crazy.
Fussbett: Pre-Umberto someone on Caltrops said "It's probably Metallica"
Fussbett: Like a stupid idiot.
Ray: Yeah I recall that but it's stupid.
Fussbett: They backed it up with "on the internet, that's the thinking..."
Ray: For one thing he says the band is unknown (at recording time) outside of the music biz
Fussbett: Well sure, there are a thousand reasons.
Fussbett: Literally thousands.
Fussbett: We could start and end at Metallica being excellent musicians, love them or hate them.
Fussbett: And I also get the feeling that we'll discover the band to be... "The Alteriors" or something.
Fussbett: And we'll say "oh"
Ray: There's an upscale furniture shop here called Alteriors
Fussbett: ok, so I'd say "oh", but you'd say that.
Ray: I thought it was a made-up word, but now you've used it too
Fussbett: I assumed the band would try to be original too.
Fussbett: In a crappy way.
Fussbett: That's my Charlie Kaufman's "The Three"
Ray: Donald posted today about Woody Allen. That line made me laugh again.
Ray: Incidentally the same thread where kthor assumes there are wire racks full of the Village Voice in delis and pizza parlors the world over
Fussbett: And then there was a boom
Ray: If it had come just a little earlier, it'd have drowned out his post and saved him some face



Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries review by The Joosh 03/07/2005
Fussbett: go douche NT by The Joosh 03/09/2005, 12:01pm CST
Fussbett: My favourite post of the MechWhatever thread.
Fussbett: The parent is so far away, it's impossible to know the target of "go douche" without putting a ruler onto the screen.
Fussbett: And secondly, you can parse the sentiment in two ways.
Ray: you sure can
Ray: he's replying to casual observer, I've deduced
Ray: The trick is to look 2 down, at Fahb's post. Then find the parent of that (from subject) and go down 2



Get Your War On updated a lot: Terri Shiavo by Fussbett 03/22/2005
Fussbett: Denis Obell is back!
Ray: I saw!
Ray: I have to give him credit for battling on three fronts simultaneously
Fussbett: I think his response to you is the worst.
Fussbett: Apparently any jokes about Christianity or Terri Schiavo mean that you hate your parents and are an adolescent.
Fussbett: 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.
Ray: There are problems with all of the responses. Zseni's OP provided the most openings for his brand of rhetoric to not sound insane.
Fussbett: What is that? Why don't you have a mature opinion on this, Ray?
Fussbett: We all need a mature opinion on this.
Fussbett: Jerkcity should've gone to black for the day with a solemn message about life.



Our homeland may be a little too secure. by jeep 04/17/2005
Ray: the jeep knife thread was very good
Fussbett: oh totally
