I have an idea… There are two posters who are so far gone down the hidey hole of their own world that no matter how hard you try you can never break them out of what they “know” to be true. Both are impervious to evidence, logic and facts also both of them are completely obsessive . Many here have dealt with both of them. Why don’t we set them up together? Lets make a Doper Love Match, ladies and gentlemen I present to you **Kozmik and JOSH** I know, I know but hear me out One lives in a fictional Michigan town populated by washed up child actors, the other in the bowels east Tennessee, they have the internet and we can pitch in for bus fare They are both virgins and unlikely to be too interested in sex(though it might do them both good) as they are both obsessed with their particular object They are both batshit crazy and might leave us alone or if they didn’t it would probably be worth it. Imagine a thread on the Illuminati keeping James Otto from being the star he deserves to be and how he figures into the second coming of Jesus, Doper Gold Thoughts gang? **Capt** ---

> [@Der\_Trihs](#): > > Someone deaf. Nah, that wouldn’t save him (hehehe) either. You know those bloody emoticons she’s using to visually pollute the Boards? Now imagine what it would be like with someone constantly running up to your face, mere millimeters away, and making those “cutesy” hand signs that are, in fact, cute when used by kindergarteners but, when used by adults…well, freaky. You know, it strikes me that the target of this Pitting just very well may have her home decorated in such a manner that any potential suitor would run screaming into the night after seeing it: every room a shrine to a particular celebrity, every surface in the bathroom covered by some fuzzy and gaudy material, all the dinnerware being some kind of collectible like you’d see Peggy on _Married…with Children_ buying from a home shopping commercial, and the bedroom littered with all kinds of stuff animals, troll dolls, and other children’s delights. The thing that scared off the suitor? Oh, that would be the gigantic crucifix, with a life-size Jesus, hanging over the bed’s headboard. Heck, I wouldn’t be surprised if she has the lowest electricity bill in the city, what with the sheer number of votive candles all over the place. That’s how she strikes me: Fornagrapher (orgiastic delight in the extreme at telling others how evil they are and how they or someone they love is either headed to eternal damnation or is already there), completely ignorant of the tome used to thump others, and basically a child, but a very mean-spirited (heh, another appropriate pun!) one. ---

While an entertaining idea, my concern with any of these suggested pairings would be the possibility of producing a brood of creepy little children of the corn type young’uns. ---

^^^ What you are asking me about there is the very thing that I have done with certain members of my family. If a person is not sorry for the negative impact that they have had on your life, why have anything more to do with them? God bless you always!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 Holly P.S. And the preacher of my church has said that my doing such a thing is the right thing to do. 🙂 🙂 🙂 ---

Actually, Holly is making me think of Jean Teasdale from _The Onion_. > [@Gyrate](#): > > I know this is just emptying another thimbleful of water into a volcano, but: > > Just out of curiosity, I Googled the phrase “If it is OK to tell y’all about my most favorite singer here, James Otto is” which starts the OP’s signature (and now locked) thread. At a minimum I count 17 messageboards that appear to have received the same gushing post from this overly devoted fan. > > Holly. Listen to me. Seventeen. SEVENTEEN. That I know of. Ranging from country music sites to Disney to here to, well, a variety of places. Normal people don’t do that. Really, they don’t. They talk about their likes and dislikes with their friends and in their existing internet interactions, but they don’t spam the internet. Because that moves one from “devoted fan” to “obsessed person”. And while I’m sure you see this all as a labor of love, all it is doing is moving the focus from “James Otto? Isn’t he the guy with that new song?” to “James Otto? Isn’t he the guy with that crazy internet stalker?” Ultimately you’re not doing him any favors. > > Of course nothing I say will stop you, because your devotion to James Otto is what defines you and makes you happy, and if you didn’t have that what would you have? But do try to gain some other interests in your life to balance out your activities and, above all, a little perspective about how much is too much. > > God bless etc. She sounds like me when I was obsessed with the kid from _Terminator 2_. Difference? I was 13 at the time. _Thirteen_. I plastered my wall with pictures from _Tiger Beat_ and _Sixteen_. Was I obsessed? Yeah. But I was just a kid. :p:p:p -Praise Ceiling Cat, who be watchin yu, may him has a cheezburger ---
