I must say that though I have no idea what this thread is about I am quite enjoying it.
And I also like the song “Popular”.
From Coldfire:" I think few Dopers have a problem understanding THIS foreigner. But hey, you’re probably going to tell me I have been brainwashed by these Evil Yankees."
I don’t believe in Yankees of that sort. Liking popular culture means liking them and that’s all there is to it. I think someone put a question about the origin of the word “Yank” once. Why does it sound so - anatomical? Or is it just me? Maybe southern women were into verbs at some time. I’ll have to check.
I think my problem is - the more I try to to be a feminist the more I’m thwarted by the sisters - the Lunaseas and TVeblens of this world. They just don’t like me. They made act in this unpleasant, electronically extroverted way. It’s not fair. I mean, I’m on the bad side of WaterJ2 and that means so is my hard drive. I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry
Close the bottle of White-Out on your desk, idiot. It’s messing up whatever’s left of the sponge you call your brain.
G. Nome: breathe. Now, read: you’re a slave to what you fight. You, apparently, cannot make a decision about what you think until you divine what’s popular, so that you can define yourself in terms of your angsty railing against it. Now read the above again, you hypocrite, and get one fecking original thought in your head before you roll up in here and waste any more valuable bandwidth.
I believe it was neuro-trash grrrl, always the bearer of quality sigs, who had a sig that said something to the effect that there is nothing a nonconformist hates more than another nonconformist who does not conform to the prevailing standards of nonconformity. Tortuous sentence construction on my part aside, I believe the point is clear.
So go return the rebel personality you bought at the goth store in the mall, and try growing your own, Spanky.
I am not one of those ten, but I knew it must have been a quote because it is the only faintly understandable thing GN has ever posted.
what are you rebelling against g. nome? is it order itself?
Oh, G. Nome, you are so much fun. I for one appreciate everything you have ever posted? Why? Because intelligent, legible posts abound on this board, and they can get boring. I mean, I love to read everything that Anthracite and Coldfire posts, but it can get boring. But you? You shake things up. You make things interesting. I treat your posts like complicated poems I don’t understand, studying them, disecting them. Of course, I still have no idea what you are talking about, but at least it’s a good exercise for my brain.
I think you might have something important to tell us, yet you haven’t figured out how to make yourself understood. That’s sad. I hope one day you will be able to firmly grasp the English language and all of its nuances. When you do, I’m sure you will be a valuable asset to this board. **
**There is sarcasm in this post. Can you find it?
Uh… cuz I am an idiot?
No, wait, you just think I’m an idiot.
You know, UncleBeer, I try to like you, I don’t know why you gotta show up and be a dick to me every so often. Sheesh, man. Let go of the past. I’m pretty sure I know why you don’t like me, and believe me, I’ve paid for and apologized for all of them. Okay? Can you let it die? If you’d read my posts without the red visor of hatred (+3 anger/-2 logic, 2x stress multiplier) on, I’m sure you may be a little amused (not “man he’s dumb” amused {okay, SOMETIMES "man he’s dumb amused}) by some of the stuff I write.
Okay? Can it be over? The last thing I need is a mod that’s got some sort of personal vendetta against me. I’m just tryin to make due, you know, floating along, having some fun, makin some friends, just like everyone else (er, most everyone else) here. You shouldn’t make such strong opinions about someone you’ve never met, man.
Peace, and that’s the last word on this I’m gonna say. You leave me alone, I leave you alone.
I like chips.

It’s just you. That’d be too cool if “Yankee” really was an anatomy reference.
No, your problem is you’re a fucking retard.
Oh, and get a better retort than “I know you are, but what am I?”
Now G.Nome and her hard drive on on my bad side. I’m, um, flattered or something.
Oh, and G.Nome, it’s not your feminism that’s being objected to, it’s the fact that you’re a raving lunatic.
Spoofe, have you ever thought seriously about this site:
There’s a lot of synchronisation going on here isn’t there? That’s great, that’s so 70s.
But I don’t think you have my brand.
No.
Have you ever seriously thought at all?
No.
Why the hell would a fucking retard like yourself say as such?
I reply to your posts therefore I am pathetic. There it ends. Waterj2: I am saner than you on the basis of my top five movies alone. The diagnosis of my lunacy seems to be made, though, on the basis of my light banter, which I started as a polite way of acknowledging answers I received to my questions. If I was to ask you, in this same manner, what’s with the flames in your Rensselaer logo and portrait would it be worthy of another “special person” accusation? Sure, they make you look prettier, but do you really need all that Ninth Gate ambience? See? In a final effort to convince me, why don’t you list five good reasons why I should be committed. Five reasons that make sense.
What about this then Spoofe:
It may be something you and Castle Bravo can get into together. It’s only natural. Now, try saying fucking mentally challenged. That’s right. Now say sexually active mentally challenged person. You’ll come right.
Next time: hot water bottles.
FreakFreely, better claim that top bunk. Looks like you’ll be getting a roommate real soon.
What about it?
How so?
Try saying “coherent post”. That’s right. Now try saying “semi-intelligent thought patterns”. Very good. Now try saying “She sells seashells by the seashore” five times fast. You’ll come less moronic.
And I stand by my previous post, fucking retard.
Fair enough, Homer.
Now G.Nome, you shouldn’t hold waterj2 to a higher standard than yourself.
BTW, G. nome, you realize that by typing Ninth Gate, Rensselaer, and synchronisation in the same thread you have attracted the attention of the CIA. For god’s sake don’t type “safety pin”!!!
Telling people you have a biting sense of humour at the end of each post doesn’t make it true. It’s like intensely boring people going round saying “I’m mad, me”. Calling people retards isn’t clever, funny, original or interesting, although adding a swear word before it does show off your extensive vocabulary. Are you an English teacher? Or an English student? How long till your 11-plus? Fool.
Clearly you’ve missed the 1000 or so threads on role-playing games.
