ARE YOU FUCKING FELCHERS USING ALL CAPS ALL THE TIME.
First, it was just a couple of words, just to get your attention, then it went into full sentences. Now it’s up to two or three lines, just for the title.
It’s starting to piss me off. So stop it.
HOW’S THAT?
Samples, give us samples!
Sheesh!
Yep. No ranting about the board, anyone on the board, or any post/thread therein without links.
Besides, what if we want to piss you off? What if this is all a plot that the rest of us are all in on, to drive you completely insane? What if it was working and you’re about halfway there already? Would you be able to tell? It’s not paranoia if we really are out to get you.
BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!
YOU ASKED FOR THIS. REALLY. MAYBE WE SHOULD DECLARE SATURDAY “ALL CAPS” DAY JUST FOR YOU.
Well, duh, the title are all caps because the OPs are SHOUTING. And the titles are longer because the OPs are SO FURIOUS THAT THEIR RAGE HAS EFFECTED THEIR EDITING ABILITY and they cannot shorten the title in that state.
It’s “affected” ::flees::
Damn tiggeril, you beat me to it. However, you forgot one important point:
IT’S “AFFECTED”.
::also flees, taking a different route than tiggeril, so any pursuit can only follow one person::
The one’s I could do without are the ones that give you no clue what they’re about.
Like list (which seemed so generic I haven’t opened them):
**This sucks ass
What is this?
I know I will get blasted for this but oh well
Women, let’s hear what you think of this!
HELLO… hello…
I might burn in hell for this …
how do you…
Very vaguely creepy. **
I used to bite on these teasers, but they seldom pan out.
The only result was that I wished they had longer titles so I could have skipped them entirely.
To be fair (::smack::–promised friends I would smack myself everytime I said that), very vaguely creepy is pretty much the explanation of the thread–about things that are, well, vaguely creepy. That’s about it. The others, though…
I stand corrected.
(Now that I’ve read it, though, I still wish I’d skipped it entirely. Maybe I’m too jaded, but rubber gloves don’t seem even vaguely creepy. Except at the proctologist’s.)
Hey, one of those was mine.
WHERE THE FUCKITY FUCK FUCK DO YOU GET FUCKING OFF ON FUCKING MAKING FUCKING FUN OF MY FUCKING TITLE YOU FUCKING FUCCCKkkkkerr… ::collapses in pool of drool and shakes violently::
fuuuckrrr… fuu… ::whimpers:: fuuuuck…

Hey, man, rubber gloves behind your dad’s keyboard when he has no earthly reason to have them, and I know he keeps porn on that specific computer, is creepy as hell.
::quickly wheeled out again::

Is this rant about the titles of threads being too long, or about them being in caps, or what?
(P.S. The rubber gloves are because there’s a short in the monitor and it gives you a shock every time you reach around to turn it off. Rubber gloves are cheaper than a new monitor.)
I can’t find the link, but I think Cecil covered this in one of his articles. Basically, it’s because all the short titles have been used already.

This is a good answer to so many questions.

Myrr, as a slight hijack, where’d you get that quote from Concrete? He was one of my favorite posters, he was uncanny, off the wall, and funny as shit. Sadly, he is no more.
–Tim
Damn I need to find a new sig; I keep getting asked that. The Concrete I’m referring to is Paul Chadwick’s * Concrete, * a very brilliant comic. In it, Concrete–well–eats a reporter’s tape recorder. It’s worth reading–very plot and thought-oriented.
