I get the feeling maybe there was a surplus of stupid new threads today?

I think the renaming of Apple talk may be inspiring folks to be less serious lately.

As for this thread, I saw some statistics at the end of Alty's (i think it was Alty's, anyway) 99.9999999% thread and it made me think of a "we are the 110%" movement to tie in with the notion that one should work hard and give 110% but I could think of a way to further crystalize the idea, so, instead of shitting up Alty's thread with a non sequitor, I started this one instead.  Hoping someone else might like the idea, but also be able to flesh out some ideas in lower case letters.

So, it's Welsh then? This why we can't have nice things. See, and thanks to Coyote, I was starting to think positively of the Welsh, then YOU come a long and BOOM! nRight back to square fucking one! Or, if you'd rather it in Welsh: "Hawl yn ôl i sgwâr ffycin one"

SEE THAT INCOMPREHENSIBLE GIBBERISH YOU MADE ME SPEW, ASSHOLE! THIS IS WHY THE WELSH NEEED TO BE PERSECUTED! THEY CALL THAT A FUCKING LANGUAGE!

I mean that's not even pronounceable if you have six tongues, eight sets of vocal chords, and five mouths! And I thought English was bad, Jesus Christ on a Sheep Fucking Cracker.  :argh!:

Nope, not Welsh.

Although, while in Cork, my wife and I met a guy who claimed to be Welsh.  He seemed nice enough.  He said he worked for Sinead O'Connor's dad.

That was 6 years ago and I haven't experienced any symptoms of Welsh exposure.  I assumed I'm through the incubation period.  Can EWS (Exposed to Welsh Syndrome) go into a dormant state? I regularly consume alcohol as a purgation agent.  Should I up the frequency?

If you were able to understand what he was saying, he was neither Welsh, nor from Cork. I say spy.

It's not that, rong.

It's just another part of what seems to be a pattern of you throwing out an idea in a way that makes absolutely no sense to anyone. You're almost as bad as Yatto sometimes.

As the author of that OP I can safely say you may not want to use it as a starting off point, it was kind of crap. This is worse, but that one was pretty awful. I mean, that OP was a horrible shit stain on epic magnitude, a skidmark that never leaves your nastiest pair of underwear that smells so awful that you get vertigo and puke every time you walk within 5 feet of your laundry basket making it impossible to clean the damned things so you can get on with your life.

But this thread is worse than that.

Still better than the weather threads though...so there's that.

rong, I want you to pretend you're not you for a moment, and see if this makes any sense, or is in anyway not annoying.

You even start off the thread saying, in caps mind you which automatically means whatever it says is garbage, that you don't know what it means.

Here's your first problem. Stop doing that.

QuoteRe: the op, I was being as honest and truthful as I possibly could, and that's what came out.  I've had positive results using that method for song writing.

We're not recording software. Unless you are actually using music as a medium, please try and think out as clearly as possible what you are trying to say in plain English. For example with this, something like, "hey, Alty's thread got me thinking about being the 110% percent and what that could possibly mean. What do you guys think about that? Maybe something like working hard, etc..." which would then give us something clear to work with and we could rationally tell you "hard work gets you nowhere, you have to be born into money and know the right people. The 1% may think they're doing 110%, but really, they let their money make money, rather than their hands. They don't do shit, and even if we do, it don't do shit." Now, that reads more like the beginning of an ok thread.

Serious question: would removing the section "USING A DIFFERENT TEXT SIZE TO ..." make the post more or less annoying?  

Yes. It would be a start. But don't forget content.

CONTENT.

Getting back to your music analogy, have you ever listened closely to a Nirvana song, thought about it and went, "man, that was one stupid junkie"? The songs themselves are good to listen to, but the lyrics are by and large meaningless. Part of what he did was chop up lines from his poetry and rearrange it into lyrics. And that's why they make absolutely no sense. Except, he could get away with that because there was guitar, bass, drums, and mumbling to distract you from that fact. You don't have that luxury here.

It's not like they have a choice in Orkeney.

It's like living in the town of Asshole, Newfoundland.  There's 30 people, and nobody's driving way the fuck out there to fuck.

I think I want to take this opportunity to point out that I'm not Welsh. Also that my European ancestors don't even have a cuisine at all.


Psst... Hey Nigel.... There's no shame in being Welsh. You may be Brythonic, but you're one of us. Join with the Gaels. Only then can we form the Six Nation Confederacy and onwards to glory! We will make the world pay for speaking English! Death to the Anglophones (except us and the people we give a crap about, and the accidental non-Anglophones who learned English because they had to). DEATH!!!!!!!


AM NOT WELSH!!!! :crankey:

I thought you were? Meh.

It was a dirty rumor. I'm Orcadian.

Ah, I thought that was an "in addition to" background as opposed to a "rather than."

My mistake  :)

Actually, that was the disturbing part. My mom did the DNA sequencing thing and somehow, her entire ancestry came up as being from THIS ONE FUCKING CLUSTER OF ISLANDS.

Can you say "inbreeding"?

It's not like they have a choice in Orkeney.

It's like living in the town of Asshole, Newfoundland.  There's 30 people, and nobody's driving way the fuck out there to fuck.

:lulz: Good point.

Also, explains why my grandmother's side of the family is DWARVES.

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that it snowed in New England the other day. We lost power for a little bit, some people still don't have power and some never lost it. Also, it's cold out.

I know this may come as a shock to some people.

After giving some consideration to the content of this thread, I have realized that I tend to think of new threads as being analogous to things whizzing by as you drive your car.  Some things catch your attention and you stare for awhile.  Some things don't and are quickly forgotten, if noticed at all.

To take that one step further, I would say what is going on in this thread is akin to a passerby telling a tree it isn't interesting enough.

I think it's mainly because they've already heard us New Englanders talking about it a couple of days ago.

If I can ever get my phone rooted, I could post with the benefit of 9 more digits.  Typing all this shot out with my thumb on a tiny add screen is a tremendous motivator for being cryptic and not really explaining onesself thoroughly

i was considering starting a "rongs incomplete thoughts thread" where i can post things such as "I am the 110%"

would something like this be met with approval or more disapproval?

i seem to have lots of these ideas, but my creative process seems to work best collaboratively and so i have a hard time deciding what to do with it once conceived.

Sure! You can get a blog for free at blogspot or wordpress.com , that way people who are actually interested in your incomplete thoughts can go there and comment and collaborate on your creative processes.

What's that?

You're not sure if you'd get any return visitors so you'd rather shove it down our throats over here?

now is the part where a lesser troll would provide evidence of other posters doing exactly what I have done in this thread.

Instead, I will tell you about a meme I'd like to propagate, but I know it will not be successful without first explaining it.

A couple weeks ago, at work - we were in the shop and one guy was looking at yahoo news.  a story came up about why barns are red.  one of the comments to the news article was "who cares? lick my balls"

this has become a popular saying around the shop.  i have had to now fight the urge several times to respond to posts with "who cares? lick my balls"
