Not that I like this band (but at least I know how to spell their name), however, last I heard they were going to cover “Totalimmortal” by AFI for some Jim Carrey movie.

**LOOK** people. We keep bitching about him using us and not search engines, yet _we keep answering his damn questions!_ Talk about negative reinforcement!!!

This guy bugs the hell out of me! We’re not search engines, dammit, we’re people, with lives, and families, and shit.

OKAY!?

Hey sublime.  
Why don’t you get a clue, bud?  
Stuff like this belongs in MPSIMS, not general questions.  
You’re cluttering up this forum with stupid questions.  
This is a friendly piece of advice, so don’t get hurt, but if you continue like this, you are going to piss a lot of people off, and you won’t even know why!

So trust me, check out MPSIMS and ask this sort of thing there. If you have an intelligent question, then ask it here.

Just tryin’ to help.

No, do **not** ask this in MPSIMS either. Use a search engine.  
[http://www.google.com](http://www.google.com)[http://www.dogpile.com](http://www.dogpile.com)[http://www.yahoo.com](http://www.yahoo.com)[http://www.lycos.com](http://www.lycos.com)[http://www.hotbot.com](http://www.hotbot.com)

You should be able to find bunches of band websites, football card websites and baseball card websites with any of those, and there are even more. If you don’t like those search engines, a topic “What search engine(s) do you use/recommend” would be harmless. But not in GQ. Start {i]that\* in MPSIMS.

I think everyone is being hard on Sublime1300.  
There is no need to insult the lad.  
He is the OP.

Go ahead, Opie.

Just a note in passing:

I recently saw a poster be very rude to a newbie. Turned out the “newbie” was an old AOL MB person who had just gotten back in town and started over at SDMB with a new nickname, because he was secure enough not to need a huge post count to make him feel like a real human being. Everybody else gave him a big hi-five, and the poster who was rude just sat there with electronic egg all over his face.

Moral of story: If you don’t know who you’re talking to, be polite–he might turn out to be Cecil. 😃

Heh. If Cecil himself came in here and started posting topics like Sublime’s been posting…well, I’d try to find a way to negate the alien mind control.
