Welcome to the MacNN Forums.

It's well past time for this to happen.

It's so extremely rare to have a MacNN member that is universally loved and admired. But besson3c breaks the mold.
Sure, politically he's way off in left field. And he knows more about blues music than anybody has a reason to. And he somehow (bribery is my guess) managed to break into the USA legally. And he doesn't ever drink or smoke weed....which is bizarre since he's like from Canada and whatnot.

But we love him just the same. Except for the fact that he keeps calling me a goat. And says my moustache makes me look like a porn star. I haven't been a porn star since 1985.

OK, so enough of the BS - let's all congratulate besson3c for being the best member MacNN has ever had the privilege of knowing.

Here's what I imagine he looks like.

BlueSky · Jul 19, 2007, 01:25 PM

Nope, that's not what he looks like.

Yay besson3c.

Spliffdaddy · Jul 19, 2007, 01:25 PM

I don't think anybody knows what he looks like.

BlueSky · Jul 19, 2007, 01:28 PM

I do!

Spliffdaddy · Jul 19, 2007, 01:31 PM

why don't you have a boob sig? are you not cool like us?

edit:

here ya go. these are some righteous boobs. Don't worry about what your wife thinks of your sig.

BlueSky · Jul 19, 2007, 01:38 PM

I am now boobified.

Dakarʒ · Jul 19, 2007, 01:39 PM

Those suckers look faaaaaaake.

Peter · Jul 19, 2007, 01:40 PM

IIIIiiii SEEEEEeeee NIPPLEEeeee

Spliffdaddy · Jul 19, 2007, 01:42 PM

ACK! nipples are not allowed. It's a small miracle that boobies are even allowed.

I figure it won't be long before there's a ban on boob sigs.

Dakarʒ · Jul 19, 2007, 01:45 PM

Nipple? Maybe there's a hint of areola.

Also, why the **** doesn't the OS X spellchecker recognize the word areola?

BlueSky · Jul 19, 2007, 01:46 PM

Oh c'mon, you guys can see nipples in that? I see hair and boobies.

Spliffdaddy · Jul 19, 2007, 01:49 PM

true. ok it's acceptable

analogue SPRINKLES · Jul 19, 2007, 01:49 PM

I'm gay for besson3c

Spliffdaddy · Jul 19, 2007, 01:50 PM

At this rate we need to ask for a 25 pixel vertical extension on the sig guidelines. It was all I could do to get my girlfriend's boobs into 50 pixels.

Where does it say that?

besson3c · Jul 19, 2007, 01:55 PM

Thanks Spliffdaddy for having the courage to start this thread despite MacNN's rules and regs, it takes a hero to swim against the tide, and you my friend are one hellova swimmer. I just wish you wouldn't insist on wearing your speedo...

Addressing all of the legends and folklore about besson3c, yes, I know what he looks like. Yes, he exists. Yes, his real name is besson3c.

Also, he is married to an American. He met her when he came down to study music. He is legal, and nice.

When he isn't playing with his horn, he is either administrating servers, or doing web programming for his day gig he hopes to not rely upon forever, or his business he is frantically working on forming.

Since besson3c is not racist, he likes goats alright, and is fascinated by the fact that they will eat anything including cans. He would like to watch a goat eat a can, which is why he keeps on offering cans to Spliffdaddy. Maybe only straight goats eat cans?

Besson3c remembers the time that he was reprimanded for calling Spliffdaddy a gay old goat that likes ointment., and now enjoys being able to say this out in the open whenever he wants without being punished.

Besson3c tries very hard to make his complex viewpoints understood. The final path to enlightenment involves the realization that his political viewpoints aren't partisan, he sees value in both the Mac and Linux/Unix machines, and that he is right about most things, and quite splendid.

Also, besson3c is straight, handsome, Canadian, married, smart, reasonable, and agile. He can perform many tricks and likes ice cream too.

I hope this dispels many of the rumors which I'm sure will arise during this wonderful tribute thread.

Peter · Jul 19, 2007, 01:59 PM

Rock on besson3c, Rock on.

besson3c · Jul 19, 2007, 02:02 PM

Yes, rock on!

This may be on of the best days of my life! Right up there with getting married and watching Short Circuit or Police Academy for the first time...

Thank you everybody. I would like to thank everybody that made this thread possible. You are my guiding light and I love you.

I'm pretty sure that's an exception to the rule because its Demonhood and he can do it, and damn it, who doesn't love Demonhood? I mean, I'm not even gay, but if I met Demonhood, I'd let him have his way with me, provided he was in dragon form.

Spliffdaddy · Jul 19, 2007, 02:07 PM

To be perfectly honest...I never met the person that didn't like besson3c.

I didn't know he was married, however. But you hafta figure he has exceptional taste to marry an American. Everyone should be so lucky. I have a feeling she's a yankee girl. Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm southern as southern gets, but all my girlfriends have been yankees. There's something about yankee girls. Red headed yankee girls. holy cow. It makes life worth living. twice.

besson3c · Jul 19, 2007, 02:09 PM

This thread was locked, and now it isn't...

Am I going crazy?

No, she's originally from Minnesota and prefers the North, as do I.

All the people in the south do is eat beans, drink ice tea, and shoot tin cans all day. That's not for me.... Well, the beans and ice part is cool.
