If I'm in a good mood I'll throw in a free fortune telling.

You dislike me.

Luke, I woke up with a huuuuuge boner.

woah, A/V triple combo

Hello.

You dislike me.

Correct. I'd like you to post less, read more. You need to learn how to behave appropriately here. Maybe you're just young and you'll improve over time. I hope so. Harping on incessantly about that guy whose girlfriend has problems having sex has been tedious to witness. You're on my ignore list now.

I have no idea what you'll end up doing for a living, but I see you as being a Michael Scott (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Scott_(The_Office)) kind of character. Only not the boss.

Luke, I woke up with a huuuuuge boner.
I have to admit that I was a little disappointed when I saw in the quote code above that it wasn't wHATcOLOR. Nevertheless, you're a swell guy, and you're much better at hiding your creepy tendencies than that friend of yours. I forget his username. I Ate My Hamster? Anyway, nice work; subterfuge is high art in the world of wooing.

Your future probably involves statutory rape.

im waiting for costco to open.

i know my faults. i do appreciate you doing this though.

curious about the fortune telling, so i hope you're in a good mood

Hello.
Hi. I've held a neutral position with regard to you in the past, but lately you seem to have become more opinionated or something and it's gotten on my nerves more than once. I can't think of any specific examples but I think it's generally been Eurocentric/anti-American waffling. If you like, I'll point it out the next time you do it.

Your future is in IT-related middle management, unless you go to university and retrain. If you do not, I foresee a cry-for-help suicide attempt before the age of 30.

So you all know, I intend for this to be the opposite of Shannon's thread. (Honest, that is, not unrelentingly negative. Although I guess that depends on who replies.)

>_<

i was honest!

ok.

im waiting for costco to open.

You're a funny guy, but I have to admit that I know almost nothing about you. I can't recall ever seeing you offer a serious opinion about anything, and that's probably to your credit. Pockets of the internet such as this, I'm increasingly coming to believe, aren't worth wasting mental effort upon.

For some reason I have this mental picture of you living in your parents' basement, coming and going as you please, usually to acquire fresh supplies of beer and potato chips. This is likely inaccurate. If so, consider it my prophetic gift to you.

i know my faults. i do appreciate you doing this though.
You don't need to stop drinking if it makes you honest. You do need to stop pandering to ryan patrick and acting as if you have access to objective truth about music. Otherwise, you seem like a pretty smart chap, and significantly less deluded than other boarders of a similar age. That must be nice.

I have no idea what your pursuits in life amount to so am reluctant to speculate on your future. Consider a career in the sciences.

>_<

i was honest!
You were, shall we say, diplomatic. I can't help but feel that your version of this thread type gave a boost to all the terrible newbie-types who've spawned here over the past year or so, so that's a black mark on your record. Nevertheless, I like you; you like beer. And... what else? I find myself at something of a loss.

Consider becoming a guidance counsellor or a therapist. People need to kid themselves into being confident in order to get by, and you seem to have a knack for aiding that. I hope you have a happy life.

ok.
I have some vague idea that you're a bit of a know-it-all goon who's not liked very well, but beyond that you haven't really registered.

You're going to do some low-level political volunteering at some point and will manifest the unfortunate combination of overzealousness and lack of understanding. You will endear yourself to similar types who've made it higher up the food chain. Everyone else will just wish that you'd shut up.

Time to sleep. We'll continue this carnival of positivity tomorrow.

acting as if you have access to objective truth about music
honestly, i don't do this. just a few nights ago i had an almost violent argument about this with someone. apart from not believing in objective truth in general, i'm a fervent supporter of the idea that taste shapes quality for any individual individually

mozart is not somehow intrinsically better than linkin park

i do however appreciate people broadening their horizons, something that doesn't happen often enough on this board these days

Time to sleep. We'll continue this carnival of positivity tomorrow.

but dammit i don't wanna wait

mozart is not somehow intrinsically better than linkin park



banana03 is that you?

this will be nothing short of entertaining

banana03 is that you?
what are you trying to say

what are you trying to say

he once tried to argue that all art is entirely subjective, which is obviously false. sure, there's no easy/straightforward/totally accurate way to objectively make these kinds of arguments, but there is definitely a vague objectivity to measuring the quality of any art form. i'm not claiming to be able to make such judgments, but it can definitely be done and to claim otherwise is dumb and wishy washy.

basically i can say mozart > papa roach and be objectively accurate.

k i'm done hijacking.

there is definitely a vague objectivity to measuring the quality of any art form.
prove this

or don't, i have a feeling this won't lead anywhere, and i don't want to be responsible for messing up this thread

master, i'm here for you, mater de spa

basically i can say mozart > papa roach and be objectively accurate.

k i'm done hijacking.

i completely disagree. i think it's quite obvious that papa roach > mozart. what did mozart do for nu metal? NOTHING. Mozart is terribly outdated.

i have an 11 year old cousin who im friends with on facebook, and evidently shes really into papa roach. are you putting her down eulolgy???

facebook eh?

yes, facebook. are you putting him down coolasicecream?

fortune telling! awesome!!

we can't call it a citrus rice salad without adding citrus

yes, facebook. are you putting him down coolasicecream?

yes. him and his cousin. what has facebook ever done for nu metal?

I can finally throw my magic eight ball away.

What she said.

You do need to stop pandering to ryan patrick and acting as if you have access to objective truth about music.

i agree with this.
the whole 'i know good music, you dont' thing is probably more annoying then my little getup here.

You don't post too much these days, which is a shame. Anyone who loves Bob Hoskins as much as you do has to be a good guy. Especially when it's Christ. Good to see that the Lord, who has made many mistakes in his multi-millennial existence, is finally doing things right.

I'm not sure what the future holds for you but I hope it involves publicly humiliating Kahlo at least once.

WhhhhOOOOOOOOO im fucked up yo damn

Hello
For a long time I thought you and Noir Cat were the same person. I see now that I was wrong, but you're still a bit of an unknown quantity. Try to make use of paragraphs more often.

I want to eat one of your pizzas. And your cock.
Sometimes you're entertaining and sometimes you come across as a real prat. Sometimes both. I'm not really sure where the schtick stops and the ugly personality begins, which is probably how you like things. Hence, I'll reserve judgment indefinitely, and leave the ridiculous lashing out for the Eulogies and Trotskiliciouses.

Your future involves a threesome with BlueStar and, now that Gaddrow's a free agent, probably your wife.

oh hey
You've improved a lot over the years but you're still as blinkered as a half-blind racehorse with tunnel vision. It amazes me how easily Nimrod trolls you and how you never learn, even though he uses the same tactic every single time.

Everyone who's described your constant Caine Walker-related posting (and vice-versa) as nauseating has been right on the money, and no amount of denials or accusations of homophobia are going to change that.

You will never be truly happy until you are honest with your friends and family.

curious about the fortune telling, so i hope you're in a good mood
Sorry, I inadvertently skipped your post yesterday. I think you're a decent guy, but you can be a bit intense. It intrigues me that you can post pictures of yourself in places all over the world and make them look like you took a camera along expressly to take pictures of you "going for a walk".

If you're not writing a blog about current events filtered through the non-photographic metaphorical lens of your travels, you ought to be.

i just want my fortune told

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v89/Mooney/download.jpg
Is this you? I used to get you confused with some other guy who doesn't post here any more. I don't know much about you aside from you having a nice-guy aura which is, I suspect, tied more to the photos you post than anything else. With the exception of the above (if that is you), you look like a wholesome fellow. And perhaps you really are. Or perhaps you're a psychopath. Never trust anything you see on the internet.

From this day forth, I shall dedicate every breath I take and every waking moment that I spend on Netphoria towards increasing the quality of my posts until they meet your standard of approval and satisfaction.

You should change your avatar too. It was funny for like, two days. Getting old. Also that picture you posted in the pic thread was pretty tasteless.

Sure OK.

Ah, Trotskilicious. Trots. Old Trotters. The Vicious 'Licious. T-lish. I'll get to you another time.
Here goes. Trotskilicious. You are a man of promise but I find you to be pretty infuriating. You fall for Nimrod's trolling pretty much without fail. Maybe you think you're trolling each other, but either way it's beyond boring. Would it hurt you to calm down a little? Remember, you're not Irish, not really. You remind me more of a certain Polish Catholic.

<fg>
I had you on ignore for a long time. I don't remember why I put you there; I also don't remember why I took you off. My guess is that you were a nuisance to begin with and you've metamorphosed into a benign if bland poster. I was going to say "Kind of like Ol' Couch Ass", but then I remembered he's still a huge nuisance.

You'll live a long and healthy life, but when you die it'll be a while before anyone notices you're gone.

this will be nothing short of entertaining
You seem like a nice enough person. It's hard to say how much is going on upstairs since you mainly react to others here or post pictures of your haircut for people to complain about, rather than engaging in discussion. I have no idea what you do or what you want from your life.

<i>You're</i> dumb and wishy-washy.

Seriously, now. There's no way to prove a universal artistic objectivity. Try it (perhaps in a new thread) and I'll convince you otherwise.

Get back in your cage, dog.

You're easily my favourite Dutchman. It's truly inspiring to see just how far you've come, despite your disability.

I hope you enjoy the rest of the year, because it will be your last. You are destined to meet your end, at the hands of Rotterdam's second-most famous prostitute chimpanzee, on New Year's Day 2010.

facebook eh?
I thought I wrote about you already, but a quick check reveals that not to be the case.

I think that about covers it.

fortune telling! awesome!!
I think you're a mighty swell guy. I mean it. You're urbane and possessed of a sharp wit, and you've worked with some amazing minds (what's W**** B*** up to these days?) and amazing-er penises.

Accordingly, you're going to be very wealthy some day. When this day arrives, I would like for you to buy me a helicopter.

we can't call it a citrus rice salad without adding citrus
You're probably the most successful troll in the history of the board. Sometimes the results are pretty special; other times there's a definite quantity over quality issue. Maybe you think you're teaching the Eulogies and Trotksies slowly; maybe you just love messing with them. Maybe both. But I tend to wish you'd give it a rest.

I've seen you bend over backwards to help people, and I've seen you go after others with an almost pathological intensity. It can be difficult to reconcile the two. Apropos of nothing, but do you suffer from much (if any) Catholic guilt?

I can finally throw my magic eight ball away.
You don't suck nearly as much as you did when you were The Juerto, but you're not fooling me. You're still the same beer-ponging, self-congratulating inner city paramedic you always were – you've just learned to hide your true self in order to survive better.

If I had to describe you in two words, they would be "Kevin James".

.
You don't post a great deal, but when you do it's often thoughtful, or clever, or both. I have it in my head that you're relatively young (a teenager?) – if so, nice work. If not, nice work anyway.

Beyond that, I don't know anything about you. I will admit to having wondered at one point if if you were really Mayfuck, but I doubt he can fake graciousness.

What she said.
For some reason, you remind me of Penny Arcade. Maybe it's the sarcasm. Or the video games. (Speaking of which, I still think it's hilarious that you managed to convince Dead to waste money on that game he ended up hating.) You're the Hugh Jackman to Esty's Liev Schreiber, which isn't meant as a slight to either of you. Hilarious movie, by the way.

I don't know what the future holds for you, so I'm just going to copy the first paragraph from a random page of a book I have next to me:

<i>However, social psychologists are beginning to explore which strategies might help us thwart the bigoted tendencies of our brains. The fact that our unconscious will eventually help out if we consistently make the conscious effort to act in a certain way in particular types of situation – the phenomenon described in 'The Secretive Brain' – offers a glimmer of hope. For it seems that we may be able to train our brain to replace its spontaneous prejudices with more acceptable reflexes.</i>

the whole 'i know good music, you dont' thing is probably more annoying then my little getup here.
Wrong.

The worst thing about narcissists is that they're almost always delusional.

WhhhhOOOOOOOOO im fucked up yo damn

Yeah, pretty much.

I see a car wreck. A man dangling out of the driver's seat, a nearly-empty bottle of whisky in his left hand. Soot, mottling his face, arguing with a bright red gash on his forehead. A woman, unconcious, pinned to the passenger seat by a jagged metal rod. Flames licking at their feet. The man is mumbling, crimson-flecked spittle interrupting his words regularly. Something about Jews...

i just want my fortune told
Well, you can't always get what you want, even if you went to a fancy school. Moving on: you were awful when you started here, bordering on unbearable. These days, you're doing pretty well. Part of that is due to you having improved a great deal on your own, part of that is due to your friends leaving the board and the rest is due to the relative scarcity of good posters compared to earlier days.

In short: Fate has been kind to you, but that doesn't mean you can know her. No fortune for you, old boy.

Okay, hit me.
That's all for tonight, folks. We'll resume with Hillzy as soon as Space Jesus allows it.

The best part was how he claimed to like it until I told him, then suddenly it sucked.

HEY AT LEAST I CAN READ!!!! I never said or implied there was a way to prove artistic objectivity. I said there is a scale, and there can be objective agreement, in certain cases (not all cases) as to how artists and works of art relate to each other on said scale.

This is why I suck, isn't it. I'LL WORK ON IT OK.

I think you're a really cool dude. You're doing science of some kind on the West Coast. Science is BOSS!!! My flatmate was in Greymouth for a few months earlier this year as a dolphin observer for the Ministry of Fisheries and she seems to miss the place a surprising amount. I say surprising because, the last time I was there, I got food poisoning and threw up on a bridge on the way to one of the glaciers. Anyway, you should post more. Also, we should have a beer or several some time. You ever in Christchurch?

Is it interesting to anyone that the main reason I've procrastinated with this thread so badly is because I changed my Macbook's keyboard layout to Dvorak and had to relearn how to touch type? I doubt it, but if you wondered, that's why.

im impressed. i tried practising that shit during downtime at work and it just wasn't happening.

also can you do me before duovamp (or any of the other, lesser netphorians listed above me).

Now you know how it feels, asshole!!
Like I'm Hardcore, you've improved a great deal over the years. You're still responsible for your fair share of cringeworthy posts, but the frequency of these is definitely in decline. I don't share your passion for Japanese cars or flat-chested teenagers, but to each his own, I guess. I'm glad there's someone else on the board who's prepared to look like a pretentious fuck for the sake of defending the subjunctive mood.

go on then

You should change your avatar too. It was funny for like, two days. Getting old. Also that picture you posted in the pic thread was pretty tasteless.
The main thing I know about you is that you and your girlfriend have had intimacy issues. I'm sorry to hear that, but man, you sure picked the wrong place to look for advice. My conclusion is that you're probably kind of clueless.

Oh, yeah, I said I'd do fortune tellings. Okay. Uh. Your girlfriend was sexually abused and you can either deal with years of shared therapy or move on. You probably won't. Good luck.

also can you do me before duovamp (or any of the other, lesser netphorians listed above me).
Nope, I'm going in order. I think I'll get to you tonight, though.

Sure OK.
You're another enigmatic type. I know you're a girl, and into baseball, but beyond that I have little of substance to report. My unsubstaniatable (not a word? F off) impression is that you've a dry, acerbic wit, and are generally on to it. If I were [redacted], I'd be feel like a lucky [person].

Wow, wasn't expecting such a nice one. I'm in Christchurch reasonably often and would definitely been keen for a beer, I warn you now though I'm not a very interesting person.

The Dvorak thing is interesting. Do you think the inherent speed benefits are outweighed by the fact that when you use other keyboards you will be slowed down?

I want my fortune told! That is, if you even recognize my username.
I do recognise your username, but aside from the occasional SP board retort, I recall little. I'm sure you're a decent-enough guy/girl with a lot going for you. Actually, that's probably overstating it. Law of averages, etc..

Your future involves balloons. Don't ask me to divulge more; I'm just making this stuff up.

Sweet. I'll PM you the next time I'm planning a family visit.

Dvorak: yes, the speed benefits are demonstrable. But maybe only when you can use a Dvorak keyboard all the time. About six years ago, when I was a student, I switched my keyboard to Dvorak and it was pretty sweet. Now that I have an office job, it's much harder to get used to it since I'm still in QWERTYland for most of my keyboard time. I guess it's more a really nerdy hobby than anything.

Your future is in IT-related middle management, unless you go to university and retrain. If you do not, I foresee a cry-for-help suicide attempt before the age of 30.

Yeah. That's pretty much it, I'm afraid. You're relatively new here, yes? I don't have much to go on beyond the usual fitting-in-sarcasm and a recollection of someone saying you were more attractive than a Pumpkins fan ought to be.

I have no idea if that's true or not, so I just want to make a general statement: being a Pumpkins fan in this day and age isn't really a good idea. Bill's goals are, so it would seem, no longer our (my) own*. Yeah, wrong board neg rep whatevs. I'm just stating the obvious for the less-informed.

Your future: retail or middle management.



* AWESOME F-ING MUSIC!!!

you were the first to post in this thread, did you want to hear his opinion or not?
Now here's a guy who can grow a nice beard. My flatmate is always going on about beards, and I can't grow one (or even a non-rapist moustache), so you get some automatic bonus points for that. Nice work, hormone-monkey. Anyway, you seem like a good guy, but a bit conceited. Sorry. I had to say that because I'm a vindictive shit.

Anyway. Quebecois, right? I want to visit your land.

Your future is as a media maven. Online.

don't half ass it.
******. Jon ******? Is it Jonathan ******? No matter. You are, it seems to me, a man of great promise, and little direction. This bothers me. It is a mirror to my own basic state of inertia, something I try to rationalise and pretend is the fault of exterior causes, but is really the consequence of my own fear of failure.

Stop smoking, stop fucking about and make something of yourself.

Should I cut my hair
You seem, at turns, to be pretty switched on, and pretty rat-obsessed. I'm sure they're nice creatures and everything, but that's a little strange. Anyway, like Charmbag (uh, but not so much; no offence), you're uncommonly observant for someone who's relatively a bit of a youngun. As I said earlier, that must be nice.

It seems you've jetted off to Australia. Interesting. Ever used to be kind of interesting, too, but all his posts for maybe the last year have read like Adam Smith for Dummies. I hope your experience of him is richer than ours has been.

Future: so long as it doesn't involve makeup, you'll be fine. Crochet, perhaps?

hate me less

ooh i hope CH! is in a good mood!
You break my heart, D., you really do. You're fundamentally a good guy, but you seem to be in a bit of a rut. I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but it seems to me like you need some kind of intervention. You have a world view that makes absolutely zero sense to me. Religious conviction is bizarre enough when taken alone, but when the agent of it chronically acts completely counter to it, it's flabbergasting. How can your life make any sense to you? I wish I could say something helpful, but I've got nothing.

Future: muddling through. Sorry.

I'm not "CH!", BTW.

apology not accepted
Your mom is not accepted.

I like you. To succeed in life, you need to become the classic badass. What would Jean Claude Van Damme do if he had a hot stepsister? Exactly.

dude's a busy dude. He's got stuff to do. Know your place, 'pryn.
You facetious motherf-er!!

Seriously, uh, you're like the old guard of the NZ 'phorians. But only in a good way. I think you'd kick my ass if we met, and then we'd make peace, and gang up on I'm Hardcore.

Want to grab a beverage with me and Hillzy some time?

hardly anyone here knows anything about me, but i'm intrigued to see if you have an opinion, luke de spa
I'm afraid I don't. Did you just change your avatar? I think it was Venom before. I saw Spiderman 3fourfive and that sucked.

Edit: SUCKED

I'm a pseudo-intellectual prick :(

i might be the only "active" poster in central america. can anyone confirm this?
You can be funny, but you can also be a real meathead. I have no supporting evidence to offer, sorry. If and when I notice something in the future, I'll be sure to mention it.

Your future entails a large inheritance which will further solidify your already bias-prone worldview. Probably you will never suffer for it, but that doesn't make it right.

Sir Johnny Mac, Mac, Mac
All dressed in black, black, black
With silver buttons, buttons, buttons
All down his back, back, back
I think you are my favourite poster ever. Constant comparisons to DeviousJ be damned; you're better. Unless you're the same person, in which case: you've improved. Keep it up.

Go for it.
Self-indulgent, self-satisfied insufferable pighead. Go post your salary some more.

Future: you'll be back to making porn sites when they realise you're talking shit.

seismonaut is still frozen in the future ocean?
You've been nothing but kind to me for a long time, and for that I owe you thanks. I have no idea what you're doing now, but my understanding is that it involves science. Science is BOSS!!!

That said, you've posted your fair share of what are, in my opinion, reasonably bigoted remarks. I can't cite examples right now, but my recollection is of an even spread of racist and sexist comments. I know you're at heart a good guy, so I'm sure you'll get past this.

Future: journal publications en masse; academic success, Peruvian lost-gold adventures.

am I too late?
No. But I know nothing about you, sorry. You're a girl? What difference does that make? Rhetorical question.

Remind me in a few months and I'll get back to you. Sorry I can't be of more help.

i don't need your fucking review to boost my self esteem!!!





...you WERE going to boost my self esteem , right buddy?
I wasn't. I don't think you post much at all any more. You can be incisive, even insightful, but often I think you're more interested in shooting people down. I'm the same, I fear; it's not a desirable trait to possess.

You have a good deal of musical ability and I think you should, like, GO FOR IT.

Future: probably shooting Syrians some time in the next decade.

I once appeared on the who's hot and who's not list.

I was a different man then...
You seemed like such a precocious, free-spirited young man until you started spouting idiotic hypercapitalist blind man economic theory all the time.

Ceteris paribus, man. Think about it. Afterwards, if you're still into laissez-faire capitalism, uh, keep thinking about it. Utlis of $2 pizza + more imagination etc. etc.

I'm an arrogant, know-it-all, jerk that gets sucked in by other people's trolling. I'm nowhere near as smart as I try to pretend to be around here and I'm fat. Please tell me something I don't know, Luke.
Yeah all that, plus you're a self-hating consumer wanker. Enjoy driving/bragging about your Nissan Z or Toyota Prius or whatever the fuck. Cool dudes (like me) don't own cars!!!

LDS do you want to be my boyfriend?
Ah, Brady. Yes, I do. Leave that fake of a man, have your dog put down and move to the antipodes so that we might be together. Has it not occurred to you that, as Netphoria's most eligible couple, we would produce some seriously attractive offspring?

It certainly has to me. Future: my beautiful, awe-inspiring and earth-shattering wife.

oh okay what do you think of me?
Noise, nuisance, nothing. Stop posting.

Future: drive-through order taker.

go on then
I can't make up my mind about you. You've changed a lot over the years, at least so far as your boarding is concerned. For the better. I hope you can work things out in your personal life, uh, with that girl. If you haven't already. I haven't really been paying attention. Muse, anyone?

Future: probably treading water for a bit. You're young, right?

hate me less
I don't hate you, or anyone. But you do seem to be a rather blinkered chap with a great deal of bias, or at least premature judgment, to contend with. Maybe that's a result of your upbringing; I don't know. I found you insufferable until Gossamer came along. Perspective, huh?

Future: whatever your parents tell you to do.

I'm a pseudo-intellectual prick :(
You sure are. But you managed to get someone to marry you, and I prefer to give people the doubt (insofar as choosing a husband goes, in this case), so you can't be all that bad. Remember that having moderator status on a Smashing Pumpkins board is probably a bad thing in the long run and you'll be fine. Maybe.

Future: serial official photographer for "serious" European bands (serious lulz @ anything to do with Amanda Palmer) / academic.

Looks (to me) like I got through everyone. Finally. Take that, board! Take it.

(If I skipped you: it was an accident, and you have my apologies. Please post a reminder and I'll rectify the sitch ASAP.)

don't forget Luke de Spa

I think you are my favourite poster ever. Constant comparisons to DeviousJ be damned; you're better.

This has seriously brightened my day, because I enjoy your posts quite a bit as well, and remember you from my years of lurking on AMSP and AMR.

I'm not Mr. J, and people seem to have forgotten that he often had some really insightful things to say, and seemed, you know, knowledgeable about a variety of topics, whereas I just jump in to post whatever zingers come to mind. I don't mean to be falsely humble, I just miss the guy.

DeviousJ is a wondrous, rounded gentleman – let us not forget this. But I am a shallow man, and will ever prefer zingers to wisdom.

I mean, just look at the damn words! ZINGERS! Doesn't that just... pounce at you? In a way that 'wisdom' never could? Of course it does. You're a talking cat, FFS!!

Your mom is not accepted.

I like you. To succeed in life, you need to become the classic badass. What would Jean Claude Van Damme do if he had a hot stepsister? Exactly.step-cousin, asshole.

Your future entails a large inheritance which will further solidify your already bias-prone worldview. Probably you will never suffer for it, but that doesn't make it right.i guess my head is pretty big. as for the inheritance, unfortunately for me both of my parents are of the opinion that one should die in debt so as to prevent squabbling among children over petty things like inheritances. so i think i'm out of luck as far as that goes. but yes, i'm painfully aware of the inevitable bias foisted upon me by my privileged upbringing :( i just want to be a real boy.
hopefully i can surround myself with people like yourself who will have no problems making fun of me for being white and upper-middle class.

I'm afraid I don't. Did you just change your avatar? I think it was Venom before. I saw Spiderman 3fourfive and that sucked.

Edit: SUCKED

yes, i've been victim to avatar indecision recently

spiderman 3 did suck, you're right

lol lukedespa doesn't have a car? EAT MY ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS PRIUS DUST MOTHERFUCKA

But you managed to get someone to marry you, and I prefer to give people the doubt (insofar as choosing a husband goes, in this case), so you can't be all that bad.

When I found out that Monte got married, this comment made me eel sad inside Luke De Spa. You might be right about the academic thing..I just got accepted for a PhD today. Poor academia.

this sounds a lot like how my senior english teacher signed my yearbook.

my turn!

I think you'd kick my ass if we met, and then we'd make peace, and gang up on I'm Hardcore.

FUCK YOU!!

I WOULD THRASH BOTH OF YOU!!

post

did you make fun of me yet?!

FUCK SPA!

my turn!
You seem to have calmed down a lot recently; an improvement, I think. You get, or used to get, a lot of shit from a lot of people here. I can't claim to know all the reasons for that, but I'm sure at least some of it is justified. The fallout from the Boner harassment, for example. Anyway, you're growing up. Good for you.

Future: I don't know. Depends on how seriously you take your studies, I guess. You previously worked a bunch of crappy jobs, right?

post
Yeah, stop doing that.

did you make fun of me yet?!
I'm not making fun of anyone in this thread. I did, however, respond to you earlier.

FUCK SPA!
I recognise your username but you haven't made an impression. I'm guessing you stick to the SP boards, mainly. Your future, on the other hand, I see clearly. You will marry a Swedish princess and will preside over a large family. You will live a life of delirious contentment, rejoicing in your Nordic bride – and the life of luxury her status affords you – until the day you learn you are sterile.
