So there was a thread started by some “archaeolog” from Istanbul. And, as best he could, he was doing his best to entice one or several young women to come vacaton with him in Turkey, with promises of kisses and such.
Now, this is likely in violation of a number of rules and policies, and I am, for the record, against violating rules and policies.
That said,
Screw you mods for deleting that. And I’ll tell you why.
I had crafted the most perfect response EVER. I responded to him entirely in SDMB in-jokes and quotes from such luminaries of the large and small screen as Tonto, Frankenstein’s monster, the hooker in Da Nang (from Full Metal Jacket), McBain, and Weebl. And it made SENSE. He might have even read it and felt hope flutter in his inarticulate little heart.
I had links and everything. I mean, how many of YOU out there know that the woman who played the Da Nang hooker has her own fansite?
It was wonderful. It was well-crafted. It was comic genius the likes of which I haven’t created in a good long while, or perhaps ever.
And what happens? I hit “submit,” and I get the “Screw you Scrappy, you lose” screen of inaccessibility. And I can’t even hit “back” to copy it to this rant. And I refuse to reconstruct it.
So keep up the good work, mods. Maybe I’ll cure cancer in response to a troll and the world will never know. I hope you can sleep at night.
Seriously? Link?
Well then sit in your corner and whine like a little bitch. Or you could rewrite it, post it here, and let us all marvel in your excellence and perfection. Grasp the moment to become one of the SDMB Gods. Let the light of your brilliance shine upon us.
That, or sit in your corner and whine like a little bitch. Your call.
oh wait. da nang hooker has fansite. tough noogies european and american girls. archeolog like love and cheap holiday by the hour instead.
Sitting in a corner and whining like a little bitch is vasty underrated.
Sorry, Happy. Actually, that thread had four views and three responses at the point that I deleted it, and I had four “Report Bad Thread” notices. So, I do want to thank everyone who diligently reported it.
I actually did think about leaving it up. It’s so amazingly stupid, and would have been a reminder of what’s not permitted. But that, um, seemed kinda moronic. (Q: “Don’t you mean oxymoronic?” A: “Hmmm…no, moronic.”)
Sorry to have fuddled your response. Casey, I’ll leave your quoting of the post up although you edited.
OK, Happy, go right ahead and post what you would have said.
#704: you download and install a keystroke logger just so you won’t lose your SDMB posts to clumsy hamsters or thread erasure.
Um, am I missing something here? I always copy to the pasteboard before I hit submit…

Not all that much there, I’m afraid.
Baby steps, Happy. Baby steps. 
Yeah, what you’re missing is that not everyone does this.
Dammit. I forgot:
Let my muscles hug you.
as well as
Eat Drink Man Woman.
Stole my thunder, damn it all.
I’m not sure you would be better off if your post had “stuck”. After all, it would still be gone.
