I can’t put up with all this anymore–I enjoyed posting to this board for a while, but it’s no longer any fun. GOOD BYE.

I thought the line or song or whatever was “Thus spake Zarathustra.” It doesn’t really matter, as s/he didn’t actually say anthing, just typed.

I would have posted to this thread sooner, but I was busy changing into all black clothing. I would type more, but the requisite 30 days of mourning is leaving my tear ducts quite dehydrated and I need to fill up on water so I may continue to express my sorrow.

Be strong people, be strong.

_Don’t let the door hit ya where the lord split ya!_

Had I known the guy and found him as objectionable as y’all seem to, I probably would have gone for the simpler approach…

There’s the door, you ass, now leave.

There’s just something so unoriginal about the ‘good lord split ya’ line. 😛

Zarathustra –

I’m new to the board, do you have any tips for me?

Actually, since Nietzche spoke German, it’s properly written, “Also Sprach Zarathustra.”

Maybe this is some sort of experiment, sort of like that Seinfeld episode with the wedding in India.

Zara’ will act bitter and hostile for a while now, then gradually become relaxed and have fun, contributing and making friends.

After about 800 posts or so, Zara’ will start asking about felching and -gry, and refer to him/herself as a newbie.

Post 850 will say, “Hello,” and by then, everyone else in on the joke will welcome him/her to the board.

I, for one, am looking forward to it.

And there’s always the 2 Live Crew version:
