Who or what is the zimphire ?

RAzaRazor · Sep 19, 2003, 02:09 PM

Damn, you sure post a lot of garbage Catsank.

iWrite · Sep 19, 2003, 02:14 PM

That desperate for post counts?

Zimphire as a thread?

I bet you're Zimphire.

Spheric Harlot · Sep 19, 2003, 02:15 PM

some sort of rental service?

How much is a zimp per hour?

(Sorry, zimph - can't resist a bad pun. No offense!)

oh, er.um: +1

Is this a sincere question or a troll? Me thinks a troll.

catsank · Sep 19, 2003, 02:30 PM

Everyone has an opinion on the Zimphire -
I just wondered why this living legend has
become so infamous ?

nonhuman · Sep 19, 2003, 02:33 PM

Because he has the courage to publicly and vocally express his beliefs despite the fact that he knows most people will be violently opposed to them. As much as I often argue and disagree with him, I have to respect him for that.

Why not just PM him and ask?

That's it - he must have a certain devilish charm,
to arouse such passion, still be Mischievous
and yet respected ?

Is he...

The devil's advocate incarnate ?

Admire Zimphire ? - he is one of the most memorable characters i've
come across here - so yes, maybe a little - many who post don't
seem to have a sense of humor or only have a scathing and bitter
wit. As he seems to be 'Ignore list' enemy number one - I just wanted
to know what users really thought of him.

Zimphire · Sep 19, 2003, 03:19 PM

You like me, you really really like me.

Bug off Zimphire, tempting as it may seem to you -
this is the unofficial thread and not for your eyes -
start up an official one and see how many turn up.

willed · Sep 19, 2003, 03:26 PM

catsank, you will be delighted to know
that you will soon share a great honour with the one who you admire
so much.
You will be joining Zimphire
on my ignore list,
mainly for writing everything in
italics,
but also for being
genuinely odd.

Zimphire lacks the cunning wit catsank offers, so it can't be him.

You'd think that would be a reason to KEEP him.

If we can get Zimphire to reciprocate catsank's admiration and reverence, maybe we can get a love connection going.

Zimphire · Sep 19, 2003, 03:41 PM

What is wrong about it?

I am seriously curious.

Oh catsank is just dripping with smarmy lovinglyness.

Says the dude with the grotesque nic, and sig.

Anyway, Zimphire? fcuk knows, who cares, this is small forum, in a large world, who gives a toss. People say they might respect him for his opinions, well sh*t, everyone has opinions, doesn't make them bright, humourous, or even enjoyable.

Severed Hand of Skywalker · Sep 19, 2003, 04:02 PM

So why does anyone care either way?

Zimphire · Sep 19, 2003, 04:20 PM

Originally posted by Severed Hand of Skywalker:

Not sure. I tried recording myself saying "Zimphire" and then tried to play it backwards to see if there was any hidden meaning in my alias that made people react a certain way, but all heard was "irehpmiz"

Got me.

lil'babykitten · Sep 19, 2003, 04:33 PM

lockinated?

wolfen · Sep 19, 2003, 04:36 PM

Well, as required by any thread of interest to Zimphire, he continues to have about 20% of the posts.

The more that I think about it, the more I think you're right... Were it a real life situation, however, I would stand by what I said.

Become he's a republican/christian/pro-war zealot. And it's just too much irony for me.

Am glad you've registered the fact that both you and Betts
have nothing of any real value or interest to say - just a couple
of rhetorical giggling ninnies ... But I do apologize for starting
the thread and as Ambush so apply puts it - not in the least
bit profound,funny or even cool.

As Zimphire is my intellectual antithesis - I was genuinely
interested in peoples opinions - but this is not that kind of
forum and I was wrong and naive to start the thread.

Ditto. Personally, I think Zimphire is cool as hell. First off, he drives a Neon R/T, so he's down with the 'underdog' econobox that (performance wise) kicks the living CRAP out of anything else in its class.

Secondly, he's very opinionated, witty, and sarcastic. I admire those qualities, and because of such, I almost view him as the 'anti-Ca$h' in some ways. He pisses a lot of people off (as do I), he gets them so mad people put him on their ignore lists (as do I), he digs the neons (as do I), and he's stubborn and doesn't usually 'give up' an argument (as do I). And seeing as how I consider myself the pinnacle of human existence, I think quite highly of him.

- Ca$h

rampant · Sep 19, 2003, 06:37 PM

I have nothing against Zimphire, other than he snitches on people. I enjoy pissing him off, and he enjoys pissing me off.

It's all gravy.

vod[k]a · Sep 19, 2003, 06:38 PM
