2. newbie
being new to posting does not necessarily extend to not knowing anything. I find it slightly offensive. Therefore, I may begin to post like a hyperactive, crank addled freak in order to push past the newbie threshold. How many posts does that take?

I live in a group type home. One could call it a commune, if one wanted.
GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT!!!!!!!

Sorry, it's the hyperactivity.

5. Back in the good old
days all you had to do was post lots of sex threads to run your count up.

IE: "I`m a hot young bisexual college freshmen, ask me about my sex life"

Alas, they are no more!

8. "Blah blah blah... ask me anything!"
The "...ask me anything" thing is way overused. So is "meme." Time for new ones, folks...

Edited on Tue Jan-06-04 12:10 AM by Nailzberg
On second thought, don't ask me anything. If I can't come up with something to say, I should leave people alone.

18. "Sheeple"
Its elitist and undemocratic, an insult to the personal dignity of others. Those who feel they are innately superior need setting straight.

Also. "nuff said!" Who says? What if I don't think it's "nuff said"? Who are you to determine when there has been "nuff said"? Can you even speak proper English you illiterate ass, it's e-n-o-u-g-h unless you're a pre-teenage girl who still dots her "i's" with circles.

End of rant.

I get damn tired of everyone spelling "MORON" incorrectly.....

It is spelled with an O instead of an A!

Good or bad, right or wrong, doesn't really matter...:)

Edited on Tue Jan-06-04 02:56 PM by Zuni
or, another one (a phrase)----But he really speaks the TRUTH, a phrase used to describe various writers (most often Chomsky, but also real wingnuts like Parenti) and then their critics are accused of not being able to handle said truth.(If one critizes the infallibe Noam they are accused of everything from being a PNAC plant to being a mental patient in total denial, which strikes me as a lack of ability to think for yourself on the part of the accuser/chomsky devotee) It sounds totalitarian to me when someone says that 'my man speaks the TRUTH' (always capitalized to point out they trust implicitly what this author might say, no matter how off base)

Also, the acronyms BFEE and PNAC are way overused and used to emotionalize some of the most inane conspiracy theories.

Nobody but Dean.

Sorry, but the thought of 4 more years of Bush makes my skin crawl and the thought that someone would flush their vote because Dean isn't the candidate does not foster favorable feelings in me.
