Wait... Don't click that lock button, I'm not done yet.
Before you go questioning the wisdom of what I have to say, remember that we live in a universe where tape is electrostatically attracted to arm hair. Somehow, I've perceived that this is the same power that makes the internet possible.
The intarnet is by definition, a temporal beast. Though it bears the many heads of the Medusa, who notices the necrotic limbs, lopped off, and fallen to the ground? Some day, the sun will go supernova, and all this will fall down G*d's great memory hole, so what's the point, I ask?

What is this flame to which us moths return? And what of the moths who have flamed out before us? History suggests that even the staunchest of wings will one day fold. So let us salute them, the ones who escaped. The ones who flamed out. The ones who gained traction in the outside world, because like it or not, the outside world is still there, and somebody has to run it.

Meanwhile, as the rest of us sit here in our dark, windowless caves, impusively tapping the re-load button to see if anyone has given a to our witty reparte�, out there in some corner of the intarnet, sits an idle terminal waiting (while he eats real jelly doughnuts with real fashion models, while wearing a real velour tracksuit, partaking lustily of the outside world in all its manifest glory) for Fat Barry to make his 26th post, though history also suggests it won't be in response to this.


The unanswered, and the unanswerable. Thus, my 5000th psot, as I circle the flame, yet again.

Once again, my subtle use of ironic misspellings is utterly lost on the unwashed masses. No wonder I'm suffering this misanthropic bent.

[euphras]

Amusing........especially the "hit reload button" annotation

....and: congrat�s, man




and dude: edit your thread title (yes you can do it now!)

"Internet" should be capitalized.

He's talking about the unnecessary and incorrect use of the apostrophe in "congrats."

I was, in fact, referring to your use of the possessive form when your sentence structure obviously called for the plural. In English, there is no need to add an apostrophe before the s when pluralizing a word. Especially when calling attention to other people's (intentional *cough, cough*) text-entry errors. But since you're German, and Mastrap is German, I'll give you a break, since you Germans are alright.

This thread should now be about punctuation and misspelling, since the great unanswerable question of why the Internet IS seems to be beyond the pale.

you should hit the little button that says "reply" instead of creating your own crappy quote.. thing.

[euphras]

I guess you mean "Quote" instead of "reply", dude

For unknown reasons the "quote" button never worked for me (i�m on Win2k)

so i use my "own crappy quotational thingy".........live with it!

One day on hte interweb, little Miss.Muffet stumbled across a MAC sight. She didn"t know what too make of it. Was this four serious 'mac geeks' or for peoples playing around in what they called "The Lounge".?
But, rather than just observe them...she decided to join there ranks!! Its remarkable how quickly she were welcomed. She got PM after p.m. asking her for dates, sexual favours, and pictures of her feet. One even bragged that he could "plus one her into a coma!"! It was exciting and new and strange and different and.
But like, most things; it had to end. She clikked the {logout} button [twice], and never looked back. Every now-and-then she thinks about the wonderfully different people she met on that macintoosh site, and wonders wear they are now, what theyr'e doing, and weather that guy ever got the pictures of feet that he wanted.
