Prismo, just WHERE am I “following you around and harrassing you”? I asked you one damn question in this thread! Other than that, I don’t think we ever interacted.

Oh, and I made a very clever first post on page 1 of this thread, which most people seem to have missed or have not commented on. But harrassment? Please :rolleyes:

As Bill Cosby said (quoting Noah), “Ri-i-i-i-i-i-ght.”

I think this qualifies as all three:

Oh Jeeeezus, he’s back! ☹

For those not familiar with the sicko Serlin, this guy has a perverted little habit of writing long drawn out bullshit that serves as monkey-spanky material.

If he worked in a porno shop, I’m the Pope.

I’m new and don’t know the history of anybody here, but I found this thread interesting and wouldn’t consider it “monkey spanky” material, harmful to anybody, or disrespectful to any other posters.

xizor - If you enjoy reading make-believe, one-handed, sticky keyboard, typed stories, may I suggest Penthouse Forum?

Their stories have less typos, more imagination, and a nice beat that you can dance to.

Diane: Be very careful if you are calling me a liar. If you do not like the thread - which I have been asked to continue - do not read it. Go hang from a tree and pick fruit with your toes.

Now, for those of you who have had their reading enjoyment interrupted by those who have nothing better to do than to be suspicious and annoying, I’ll continue:

News Flash: The creators of South Park have sold the rights to an English Condom company to place the faces of their 4 main characters on rubbers. How interesting! The English guys will be running around with hard-ons with the cartoon faces of Kyle, Kenny, Cartman and/or Stan printed in full color on their rubbers!

It got a bit slow for a few days and the lady we had working the first shift decided to liven things up, so she went and got a small container of Helium gas from a friend in a novelty store. Then she opened up a package of rainbow rubbers, filled up a selection of the colors and tied the with ribbon all around the store.

I don’t know what it did for business, but I thought it was great! All of these pale, colored ‘balloons’ floating gaily around, secured by matching colored ribbons just above the ringed opening and fastened to various points around the store.

Colored rubbers can substitute for colored balloons at parties! However the gold and silver did not come out all that well. I borrowed her tank and some rubbers and inflated a bunch, then secured a small, neon dildo to them and let it float around on the air conditioning currants. I followed that with one of these small bullet vibrators – turned off – and discovered that it takes a lot of helium filled condoms to lift that small thing!

Maybe I should have taken the batteries out.

That was exactly my point, I don’t think this thread is masturbation material. I find it interesting but not sexual or arousing, along the same lines as Dr. Ruth or Loveline. Or do you consider that sticky keyboard as well?

:::Being the dare-devil that I am:::

**LIAR!**

xizor - I guess I wasn’t clear. I wasn’t saying that **your** keyboard is sticky, I was saying that the writer (Mark) is up to his old tricks by getting a cheap thrill writing things that are false but titillating to himself.

I merely suggested Penthouse Forum if you enjoy the writings of slobbering, air-gasping, one hand typing, keyboard humping, chair-squirming, crotch pulsating, hard-nippled pervert.

But then again, you are new and have yet to learn the ways of Serlinal. You’ll learn.

(Oh hell, now I’m gonna get spanked by the Mods :eek: I know, I know, this ain’t the PIT. Forgive me? Purdy please? :D)

You know Diane, this thread wasn’t turning me on, but now that you have starting writing sentences like the above… 😉

Just kidding, really!

If anyone who was here when Serlin was around is still not certain that PRISM is Serlin, I need only to direct them to this quote, by PRISM, in this very thread.

Yeah, I think Prism is Mark Serlin but he is not really trolling around all over the board. There is this thread which I don’t find arousing but it is interesting. Some things are a bit over the top like the remote control panties. I doubt they exist and work in that fashion. Other things seem real and reasonable as I have tried them myself and seen them around.

You guys forgave Micheal Masterson/Silo when he changed his ways, we should really give Mark Serlin/Prism the same opportunity. Here he is just giving some minor non-revealing stories of a time he spent in a pornshop be it working or shopping. I still find it interesting, non-arousing, and non-threatening.

HUGS!

There are remote-controlled panties. A friend of mine told ne that they’re supposed to be for surreptitious masturbation, but that they’re so damned loud it was pointless. I can see where, conceivably, two remotes could control one pair of panties.

However, I find it hard to believe that a porn shop would have THIS MANY public events. Maybe that’s just because I live south of the Mason-Dixon line.

Dude, have you been keeping score? Silo _admitted_ to being Mike Masterson. Silo _publicly apologized_ for being a dick. MS/Prism/Sentinel/RainbowCSR/etc did more than refuse to apologize–he tried to make it sound like it was some ridiculous research project. Yeah, right. He admitted **no** culpability, whereas Silo proved that he _can_ be a man and admit responsibility for wrongdoing.

BTW, Prism makes no effort to hide who he is outside of the board. Just put him and a collection of his s/n on AIM, and watch as he: signs on as RainbowCSR, then sign off, then immediately sign on as Sentinel (or MS, or another of your favorite 31 flavors), then sign off, then immediately sign on as Prism02, then sign off…basically, checking his mail for all his personalities. If you’re going to try to dupe us, at least _try_ a little harder–this is an intelligent community.

Dude, will you just _fess up_ already? You have interesting stories to some people apparently. I personally have no interest in running you off the board. I just want you to admit to the obvious and _move on_. Sheesh.

For those who weren’t around in the old AOL SDMB days, Opalcat HATES lists of only 2. Unless you want her kitty claws planted into your skull, you must always make lists of at least 3 even if it is just to say:

#3. Hi Opal.

I won’t even mention Ian and #4.
