SBOTD - Good Boy! aka. Things You Don't Need to Hear

[LMNO]

I know a guy who might just barely fit into his own species.  He's Ted the Tedanian, and he's human shaped, but his genes are just different enough to classify him as inhuman.  Guy changes color.  After a month of dried noodles, he turned yellow.  Also has inhuman endurance... a lot of shit that doesn't come to mind, but he's a freak.

Is that otherkin?

I think otherkin indicates that you are so pretentious as to believe that your own differences from the rest of the human race make you unique enough to warrant a special title in a classical form of mental masterbation.  I always do my part to recomend to anyone that pretentious that they, rather than mentally masturbate, just get straight to it and give themselves head whilst fisting themselves.  Why dance around the subject?  Why not get straight to it?  Point is everyone is, everyone is different and that doesn't make you special to be different too.  This is exactly why the bartender gives you a savage blow to the head at the end of the barstool experiment, to let you know that being pretentious doesn't make you immune to the laws of physical reality.  In this fashion, realizing that you are oh soooo deep and poetic (aka a giant bleeding heart/vagina wussy) that you must indeed have the blood/spirit of the fae (or some other ridiculous myth) in your body and feel it necessary to share your delusion with the rest of us who are doing our best not to push our retarded bullshit on other people for the sake of harmony, peace and good will toward men.  Much like the barstool experiement, a savage blow to the head cures all.
Unfortunately without this level of delusional behavior i would lose much of my entertainment.  Crazy, pretentious and ridiculous people make up about 95% of my friends beause their ridiculousness can at least hold my attention span if I'm in the mood for it.  Further, being that they are so delusional they are also usually preconditioned to dealing with the fringe benefits of being counted among my friends.  Indeed, being among friends does not excuse me from flaming them incessently about how retardiculous they can be, and I would expect no less from them (as it's all in good fun anyhow).
In any case, Ted the tedian isn't actually human, he's a superhero, and he sounds like he kicks ass, especially if he is self described as ted the tedian.  I give him 2 points for style for not hyjacking some other overused cliche.

Weird -- I seem physically unable to entirely read your posts; it's like I read the first line or so, and then my eyes slide down the page like a greased monkey at a strip club.

Maybe you should take some pointers from LHX.


his posts


have a lot of carriage

I get the point but I don't quite understand the metaphor... even still, I like the imagery.

Improving the "Optical Ergonomics" of forum posts is on my agenda.
I'm practicing at it.  In time I'll get a good handle on it and it will soon then after become old hat.

Poop.  hehe.

It aint like proper english

More freeform - upgraded language

also try to get into the habit of

- reading back what you just wrote before hitting the POST button.
- then deleting everything that's superfluous, be bold!
- then editing for clarity
- then taking one big last look and think hard and decide whether it's really necessary to make this post, if not, just press F5 or navigate away, don't post

seriously, the best way to write intelligent stuff not come across as a total moron is to know when NOT to post

It's ok if you don't find my posts stimulating.  I'm ok with that.  I'm not concerned if people think I'm a moron.  I know where I stand and why. 

Truth is, sometimes I am a moron.  So are you, so is he, so is she.. etc.

Not every post will be classic gold in your, my or anyone else's eyes.

Try critiqueing in a less subjective fashion for better results from me and I will do what I can to accomodate that.  Use less "that's not funny", "I don't like that.", "that is stupid." etc. and try pointing to specific things you feel would improve a post and offering potential sollutions.

I see some of that in your post, but there is also a bit of the former in there too.

I a good critique example would be what LHX threw at me somewhere which said something to the effect of:


"it makes my eyes sore to look at your shit

Put in more line breaks

line breaks R teh gooding..."



or something like that...

also, approaching with handshakes over fists is also a good tactic to make your audience see the light.

I'm beginning to think you're doing this out of malice.

Is there another reason?

Okay.  That's all I needed to know.
