God, DreadCthulhu, give it a rest.

So, I’ve noticed that you like to talk about 1920’s style death rays.

A lot. A whole lot. To the point where sometimes you are adding absolutely NOTHING to the discussion.

So, I have to admit I’m curious. Are you just going to keep pounding this joke into the ground? Do you think that you’ll get to go down in history as the great death ray-propagator?

You’ve shown no sign of stopping, and have even admitted that you won’t.

So, I’ve gotta ask. What exactly do you think you’re adding with this ? Do you think people find it funnier and funnier every time you show up in a given thread to add your witticisms?

Oh, and BTW you were a huge asshole here. Maybe you can start using the “must…resist…” thing as your new catchphrase. God knows you could use one.

Who ever came up with this Weapon of Mass SDMB Thread Destrucion should be crucified.

Eh, it’s not so much the phrase I object to–I know the board’s going to go through cycles where people think certain things are funny. No skin off my nose.

But it starts to annoy me when I see the SAME joke over and over again from the SAME person and I’m expected to think it’s new and creative or something.

“Nelson Laugh?” You turned into a total failure in a solitary post.

For Me to Poop On
1920s Style Death Ray
Is a good slogan

Has DreadCthulhu posted hot pics of herself or something, because it seems that a lot of people are inexplicably copying this 1920s death ray foolishness.

Having it come up twice would have been funny. Anything more is unfunny to anyone but the perpetrators.

Death ray come back pie bases are all belong to us.

Ah, they’re 1920s style “death rays.”

Actually, I think Michael Ellis has probably used it more.

Not that there’s anything wrong with it! Really, why all the hate towards a silly phrase? Can’t we all just get along?

Hey, it’s not like they’re prognosticating pirates or anything…

It’s not so much that the joke has run it’s course, is overused, and is no longer funny, its use invariably hijacks otherwise interesting threads. This goes for variations on the joke, as well. Occasional references might be mildly amusing, in the future. It’s too early to tell, though, since the ground is saturated with that reference, and it’s still raining.

10

Of course starting a thread on the 1920SDR is never a good idea.

11

:clapping: for the coding/research, I’m not bothered yet by the joke.

12

Arr, they be 1920’s “Death Rays”.

13

We need an animated smilie of the little guy repeatedly banging his head off the wall.

14

Yes, I forgot to add that was an insane job on the coding.

15

Yeah, I was going to make every word a link, but man, that shit’s a pain.

And Casey1505?

Exactly.

16

Burn that dog.

17

Or Grape it.

18

The title of this OP sounds like a prayer to a Lovecraftian deity. Possibly one that shoots death rays out its butt.

19

The post. . . it seems to be . . . jammed. . .

:tastes:

Grape? GRAPE? There is only one Poster who would dare give me the Grape Jam! Han Squink-o!

Sorry. I’ve got a bad case of the Spaceballs. Anyway, by any chance is your location (“Yes”) a reference to how John Lennon met Yoko Ono? If so, then cool. The refererence, that is. . . Yoko is not very cool at all.

Nothing of substance to add to the topic of discussion, except to note that posts and threads on the theme “[Catch phrase] is getting old” are themselves getting old." There’s much, much more of substance to discuss than that – and even more to share of who we are and what amuses us, in MPSIMS.

To elevate this post beyond being the sort of post-merely-to-complain of which it itself is complaining, let me observe that the other day my ISP took it on itself to alert me I could subscribe to new newsgroups, and that one item on the list was alt.sex.cthulhu. Talk about Tentacle Porn!! :slight_smile:
