Lobsang, it appears to me that you were “whooshed” by (you missed the intent of) kambuckta’s post. Of course, I could be wrong. It’s happened lots o times before.
Does it seem odd to you that right after saying what a bad idea this was, kambuckta jumped right in and played along?
No worries, luv. No competition here. Way too rich for my blood! 
How much did they pay you to spy on us?
Two dollas n’ fifteen cent! ::giggle::
I just don’t want this to turn into a real pile on and meltdown thread.
I hope I was whoosed.
[sub]help![/sub]
Nope. Sorry to disappoint you Lobsang but I DO think the concept of this thread is bound to end up being troublesome. You weren’t whooshed, as such. IMHO, the OP of this thread sucks seriously.
Anyway, back to business, I’m opening a ‘book’ on when Ryan_Liam is gonna turn up.
5-1 for the next half-hour. Anybody offering better odds?? 
I think the percentage would vary quite a bit if you looked at active posters who’ve been to Dopefests, as opposed to the registered members as a whole.
Or of the beer holder. Oh yes, and the answer is moi.
And just a reminder that this is an INTERNATIONAL board. I’ve checked out the talent at G’DopeFests (here in Aus) but alas, there isn’t any. We’re all bog-ugly down here.
You wouldn’t be saying that if you had run into me!
Lobsang, I’ve gotta agree: this thread is one heck of a bad idea. In short, it reeks. I’m with kambuckta – this kind of thing only serves to get people into either ego-inflated or absolutely outraged and hurt frames of mind.
You may have thought it a good thread idea at the time – and I admire your “go for it” attitude in starting up threads here when an idea strikes you. But, sincerely – this is a dog of a thing, man.
Oh, and I wouldn’t be in th’ running, either. Non-beautiful old cow of an EnZedder talkin’.
Clears throat, shoots cuffs, digs toe in ground and says, “Aw shucks, you guys.”
(Skims thread)
(Reads thread)
(Re-reads thread very carefully)
Nope. Didn’t think so.
Carry on!
Ok. As usual I am wrong.
Mods - close this please.
Now, I have a few options.
Seek to get banned by shitting all over the boards.
Seek to get banned by asking nicely to be banned.
Weather this feeling of self-worthlessness and misery and remain a slave of the boards.
I’ll get back to you when I’ve decided.
Am I watching the most self-indulgent, self-inflicted meltdown in the history of these boards?
Geez Lobsang, get a grip dude. NOBODY will think any the less of you for starting a dubious thread…hey, we’ve all done it, and at least you were lucky enough to get some funny responses. How would you have felt if you had been totally ignored?
DON’T PANIC. And don’t piss-off either…that IS just pathetic!
Lobsang, get real with yourself for a minute here! Just because a few of us have said, with varying degrees of vehemence, that this wasn’t th’ best and brightest idea for a thread – doesn’t mean you should take anything as a personal slight. And especially not to feed those self-doubt demons of yours.
Send the mods an email. Use th’ “Report post to mod” function. It might take a while, be patient. I’ve gone and started threads (in th’ Pit, no less!) which in my right mind I would have run off shrieking into th’ woods before startin’ up – but I got over it. 'Cause nothing was a personal shot at me.
Ease up on yourself, okay?
Ok calling me pathetic and self indulgent is really helping.
kambuckta - I am being melodramatic for show. If I really was close to suicide I would not try to be funny about it!
:rolleyes:
Hmm. Melodrama. A most underated art-form…
I’ve just noticed – the only one really using th’ words on you over this thread is kambuckta, and you’re responding to her, Lobsang. Some pile-on!
And, I think, a non-meltdown … hmm…
Ice Wolf - the point is not that people have said this is a stiupd thread. I can cope with that. It’s the way they do it. You did it with tact and friendliness. kambuckta has done it by calling me various below the belt names.
It is hard not to take such namecalling as personal slights.
And I didn’t say I was being piled on - I said I wanted to avoid a pile on.
