As long as I don’t become know as the FeTch guy, I’m pleased with all the reactions, including the adorable naifs who didn’t get it at first :).
There’s one more odd poster I remember: he came on the boards to preach the gospel of Carlos Casteneda. Does anyone remember who that dude was? I remember challenging him to some sort of belief-off, and then feeling bad about it because I realized the dude was nuts, but I don’t remember much more.
Okay, off to post 160. :dubious:
If the general level of response to this post seems underwhelming: At least in my case, you can rest assured that it’s not because your examples aren’t interesting. It’s just that I’m now officially rendered speechless.
Yeah, that pretty much sucks.
This is like if a Dr. Bronner’s Soap label took a course in legalese, had a stroke, and ate a bucket of hallucinogens.
Either that, or it’s the mad death rattle of a malfunctioning evil android.
That’s pretty good.
I must ask if you swiped it.
Torture homeless people so they’ll stop being homeless
Remember Umbridge? Nobody could decide if he was a troll, crazy, or both. Most of his threads were bizarre, semi-coherant ramblings about various sex and relationships.
-Angle degree and movement in human copulation-odd sex questions that starts with some sort of complaint about previous threads
-Are the multiple penetrations that occur in sex biological or cultural?
The dude who was convinced his neighbor was listening to through the walls and laughing at him… I mean, the poor guy seriously thought his neighbor could hear him breathing or turn over in bed. (I do hope he got help)
Was that the same dude who claimed he got his nads shot off in Vietnam?
Well, rstrats is back with his:
See my post #7 in that thread. Do a google search on his username, and he’s asking this question on countless other MBs on the internet (this is his 3rd or 4th attempt on this MB). Is it time for the BanHammer?
Was Sqrl Cub the guy who pretended someone was breaking into his apartment right as he was posting, and everyone freaked out? And then he came back and was like, lol, jk.
I think I was just joining the board in the midst of that, Guin.
Yep. He came back as a sock a short bit after that. I forget what name he had, though.
Found it! It’s GrahamWellington. And Here’s his crazypants thread on Carlos Castaneda.
Has Zeke N. Destroi been mentioned? His attempted takedown of The Beatles is more sad in its approach than anything: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=801899
He sounds like Dennis Hopper’s character in Blue Velvet more than anything. Fool.
Hey, what about that odd duck who tried to disprove anal rape was impossible between a standing man and a young boy using a cardboard tube? This guy thinks blacks were better off and happier before civil rights, women became mean when let out of the kitchen and everyone was much more polite under a strict patriarchy. 'Member him? Pepperidge Farms remembers.
He reminds me of a different, banned poster whose patent line was ‘the soft bigotry of lowered expectations’. He argued blacks were genetically inferior. Damn, cannot remember his name-- it’s right on the tip of my brain. . .
Yeah, I thought about linking to that thread. I first thought ‘typical troll’, but then I saw Zeke’s join date and remembered him slightly as a rather normal poster. But in that thread, he went into full meltdown mode so badly that he had to be saved by the mods by temporarily suspension, so I suspect there’s something other going on.
The odd duck in your first paragraph is still with us. It’s Starving Artist. The conversation about anal rape was part of the Jerry Sandusky/Penn State scandal.
Yeah, I know.
At least she’s still hanging out with us here. I’m waiting for her to storm off in a huff. No sign of that so far, though.
Hang on. About ZPG: I just now happened to look at her join date. 2003? She has seniority on me? For some reason, I thought that she was a relative newcomer. How come I haven’t noticed her until recently?
Well, in that case, I guess she’s not going anywhere. Which is good, I think I have a crush on her. There’s something about the way she picks a zany hill to die on, and then refuses to move an inch, even under a full-on artillery barrage of facts and good sense.
Wiser minds than I would be able to tell if she’s batshit crazy or just another troll.
