[QUOTE=unbrok3npp] Im hanging around because I paid money for this (which for some doesnt grow on trees, especially for students) and I dont want other people to have to go through this. [/QUOTE] So from now on you’re going to routinely post to warn others that joining this board is not worth it? Not necessary. With a one month free trial membership, others can figure out on their own if this board is worth the yearly membership fee- just as you should have. ---

[QUOTE=rayh] You’ve started a thread? :eek: [/QUOTE] You mean you missed by brilliant analysis of _First Mondays_? It had 600,000 hits and thousands of replies, even more than that other-author _Lord of the Rings_ thing. I’d link to it, but it seems to have vanished. Yes, my single-handed effort was responsible for that show’s rapid cancellation. I got a letter from the network thanking me and everything. > [@dnooman](#): > > Bear… bearfucker, do you need assistance? Take it easy, meow. ---

[QUOTE=Uvula Donor] It’s highly unlikely that \*\*unbrok3npp \*\*will ever be able to get his inflatable vinyl lover pregnant, and even if he did, she’d only give birth to a litter of party balloons. [/QUOTE] He’s just upset that in a moment of teenage sex-fueled angst, he bit her nipple, to which she reacted by farting and flying out the window. Suffering from the loss of his lover, he can only pine for her vinylly compliant openings, as he gazes, yearning, upon her deflated body across the street, atop the roof of the Dollar Store, her mouth fixed in a rictus of invitation, as pigeons crap on her head. ---

[QUOTE=Gengis] Okay - look at your keyboard. See the “L” key? Just to the right, there’s some funny squiggly things; we can ignore those for the time being. Now, look one more key to the right. No, no - not the “return/enter” key - before that. It’s called an apostrophe. Handy little thing, and you don’t even have to use one of those pesky shift keys with it. The apostrophe is your friend. Use it, embrace it, make it your bitch. [/QUOTE] I know this is sooooo 10 minutes ago but I just had to say that if some nerd ever said something like this to me in real life I would slap them in the mouth as hard as I could. ---

[QUOTE=flight] I think you mean, “Is he still reading this?” I find it unlikely he was ever paying attention. [/QUOTE] Out of about 20 comments I read maybe 5. Why would I want to keep reading this? You’re all just proving th point I made in the first place; and on top of that you’re proving that all you adults(who think you’re so much more mature than the stupid 18 year old) have absolutely no lives and are in much more need of growing up than me. There is a world outside other than behind a monitor. If you explore it, then maybe you’ll start threads that are worth reading and thinking about like the ones I have started (which were then closed). ---

**unbrok3npp** asks questions about him living his life (at least, as he considers it). That they get answered suggests… people are doing that? And better than him, at least for the time being. It’s sort of like asking people for wine advice and then complaining they don’t drink alcohol.
