You grownups will never understand!
Nothing you say can hurt Cull because he’s a rebel! He rides a skateboard, wears Limp Bizkit t-shirts and wipes from back to front! He rejects your hypocritical bourgeois values, man!
You’re all just jealous because you don’t have the balls to listen to Blink 182 and read Catcher In The Rye! So go wallow in your mediocre cesspools of suburban decay and leave the cool people alone!
Hmm, apparently Mademoiselle Cull is just a tad obssesed with us. And, again, Sondheim speaks for Cull:
[quote]
ALL AFTERNOON, DOING EV`RY LITTLE CHORE,
THE THOUGHT OF YOU STAYS BRIGHT.
SOMETIMES I STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FLOOR,
NOT GOING LEFT, NOT GOING RIGHT.
I DIM THE LIGHTS AND THINK ABOUT YOU,
SPEND SLEEPLESS NIGHTS TO THINK ABOUT YOU.
YOU SAID YOU LOVED ME,
OR WERE YOU JUST BEING KIND?
OR AM I LOSING MY MIND?
I WANT YOU SO, ITS LIKE IM LOSING MY MIND.
DOES NO ONE KNOW? ITS LIKE IM LOSING MY MIND
You don’t seem to understand youth culture at all. Someone who listens to the bands you mentioned would never read a book. Your shotgun method of criticism missed, I’m afraid. Though I do reject hypocritical values, the label “bourgeois” is useless. Do you have some reason why people shouldn’t reject hypocritical values? No, you just seek to put me in a box, because compartmentalization is so neat and clean. Well… nobody belongs in a box. Nobody is that trivial, not even you. Life isn’t black and white, it is much more complex. We live in a world of glorious technicolor. Just open your eyes and look.
I’m glad that you’re interested enough in me to sit there and think about what my life must be like, even if you didn’t get it right.
And as a tribute to unsere deutsche Freund (from the ouevre of Messrs. Kander and Ebb for a change:
Stereotype much? A person’s musical preference does not determine whether they read books or not. Please. Even smart, literate people like shitty music sometimes.
I think this has less to do with compartmentalization and more to do with soundproofing.
Fine. If we’re going to Kander and Ebb, then let’s go ALL the way back.
Let’s reflect on Cull’s description of the totalitarian oppression he suffered when he was FORCED , FORCED to post on the fascist message board, as we consider Flora, the Red Menace:
Are you in favor of free milk for kids?
If you’re in favor of milk for kids!
Here sign, sign here!
Free milk for kids!
A good Message Board!
The rights of man!
Democracy!
Then it’s clear!
It’s clear!
You’re a Communist!
Sign here!
The wind of change is blowing
The tide is rolling in!
And we’ve a richer, riper, fresher, faster Board
That you can all post in!
Damn…now I wanna jump to Les Miserables:
Do you hear the poster’s rant
Posting the posts of angry men
It is the posting of a grumpy guy
Who’s posts were eaten again!
Do you hear old Cully’s rage
Echo the rage that’s in our hearts
It’s a post that’s quite as loud as a rodent’s fart.*

*Hey, they can’t all be instant classics. At least it rhymes.
Y’know, this jacket just doesn’t look good at all, but we must keep the pants. They’re stunning.

This doesn’t always work. In fact, for me it never works. Why? I have no idea. But on my system if I hit the back button, 95% of the time, anything in any form previous is once again magically blank. (It has nothing to do with cookies or whatever, or any settings in IE. It’s just my crappy system hating me.)
Not at all. You should try it some time, instead of petulantly accusing people of something in one breath and then doing it yourself in the next.
** Ferris ** I recently heard that song on Sarah Brightman’s “Encore” CD, and I love it. But what is the lyric after:
An aeroplane flies across the bay,
But I can hear you as clear as day.
You say you love me above…
I can’t make it out.
I don’t like pie. I love cheesecake. I bought a huge 12 slice (6 flavor) cheesecake at the store on Wednesday, and went I went on Sunday, they had a special 8 slice (4 flavor) autumn cheescake. So I bought one of those too.
Heheh. They do it for the same reason that techies choose to cleverly display their disgust will Bill Gates’ relentless pursuit of money by tossing a dollar sign in the word Microsoft, i.e. Micro$oft, or more commonly M$.
And to the OP - sounds like you’re using an inferior browser. Ever heard of Opera?
Oh, and if you think vBulletin sucks, try UBB. You’ll never speak ill of vB again.
An aeroplane roars(?) across the bay
But I can hear you as clear as day
You said you love me
Above the sound and speed
With your love, what more do I need?
I really love Sondheim’s stuff and that’s probably my all-time favorite Sondheim song. (For anyone who cares, it’s from Saturday Night.)
And BRIGHTMAN did a version of this? Darnit, Annie! Now I gotta go out on my lunch break to get a copy! She’s gotta be great doing that song (My current favorite version is by Liz Calloway)

HAMSTER pie!
But not as much as I loves me some DORRANCE NUMBER FIVE STAINLESS STEEL HOOKS!
Oh, and Monkeypants, that’s a very nice bit of juxtaposition you presented above. Just goes to show, sometimes the most devastating attack is presented without any words at all.

Is that the best Shining reference ever?
I’d like some gay pie, please. Hold the cull.

Oh lord.
You know, the saddest part of all is that I suspect you think you’re being really deep and insightful here. Just so you know – spouting random platitudes and bumper sticker slogans is not original, clever or useful. It’s just annoying.
Kull kalm down.
Actually, no. The subject, in fact, is really rather sad. See here and here for previous SDMB discussions. The original homepage for the individual in question appears to be dead, which might suggest she got her wish and is no longer able to use her computer (ha. ha. erk), but you’ll get the gist of it from those previous threads.
