No. We are fat slovenly souls who will never have teh cex with anyone except our pudgy hands.

Seriously, though. What are you getting at? Whats the point you're trying to make?

Your signature is too scary. Nevertheless, I agree it was rather large so I cranked out a new barcode at a smaller size.

This one requires a bardcode scanner to decode.

Actually it's apicture I made for just such a purpose.

It's inspired by a similar pic you're bound to see of a girl in a bikini doing a cartwheel, with the caption "Look at me! I'm an attention whore".

I found this rather disturbing picture after doing a google search for pole dancers (according to the place where I got it from, this guy is taking "pole dancing lessons" *shudders*). Then I added the caption.

Now I'll tell ya' tha story of the time ol' blue and I was chased by a bear on the side of shadow mountain.

...

Oh, wait, never mind.

No litterally your sig is TO BIG, for some reason the mods have rules that I think it's it can only be 40 high and 140 wide and not over 10 k and not animated.
And they'll get mean if you don't want to abide... MEAN!
Otherwise I'd be using this in my sig

Thank your God that you don't use that sig...I'd go nuts having to look at that propaganda at the end of every one of your posts.

Hey, now. One man's propaganda is another's salvation so show a little respect for alternative lifestyles.

Mac Zealot · Mar 1, 2003, 04:58 AM

That is a weird sig. I don't mind using a religious thing in my sig but not something that strange.

Uhm... supposedly christians are just any person who believes in God, but I'm begining to think that those who identify themselves as 'christians', while they have the exact same beliefs as catholics and the like, play that country music that makes me barf and watch the 700 club as their favorite show.

And one man's salvation is another man's persecution.

Perhaps he could show a little respect by not preaching. It's not that I'm against established religions (okay, so I am). I just have so much more respect for individuals that are spiritually close to their creators but don't feel the insecure need to convert others to their beliefs.

At least I don't follow people around in threads just waiting for my chance to personally attack them. In really lame ways at that.

If you are going to do it Adam, please at least make it interesting for the me and the forum.

Porsche was much better at you than this. And look what happened to her.

I don't think that is the case here.

Looking at this thread, I would say yes.

boots · Mar 1, 2003, 11:16 AM

Since this is a bogus thread anyway, I'll share my morning's moment of humor here, rather than start a new thread:

Russian Humor:

Scott Simon (NPR Weekend Edition) was interviewing Nikita Kruschev's son about Joseph Stalin..

Scott Simon: Did you love Stalin?

Kruschev: (paraphrase) For a while, but not for long...but our family in particular couldn't discuss these things.

Scott Simon: Did your father love Stalin?

Kruschev: (in dead-pan voice) Well ... my father was of the normal sexual orientation...

Scott Simon: (in the "Oh Sh*t, enter damage control mode) No, no, no, I wasn't suggesting....

Kruschev: It was joke. I make joke.....(chuckles softly to himself)

Scott Simon: (Breaths a noticable sigh of relief)..

I don't know, I just thought that whole exchange was pretty funny. Its been a slow morning at work. So sue me.

Haha, thanks.

Scary is good. There are signature size restrictions, thank goodness - 140*40, under 10K, no animation, etc. Good thing too...

well people can keep their "salvation" to themselves - I don't wanna read that bullshit. It's called preaching. I don't appreciate it, nor do many others.

And BTW, he wasn't preaching.

No, he wasn't; the signature was. The situation presented was *IF* that was his signature... it isn't. So he isn't preaching. But if it was, then he is.

Years ago in Germany when I was a very small boy, zere was a lot of people standing around on ze corners asking questions: "Why are you standing on ze corner, acting ze way you act, looking like you look? WHY DO YOU LOOK THAT WAY?" And they ask me and I only would say: "I don't . . . I don't know, I'm just standing 'round ze corner waiting here . . . just in . . . in ze evening, and . . . and it's so nice outside . . . the night is so nice . . . why . . . are you just asking these questions . . .

Oh hell yeah, you are so right. Following people around is so lame. I've noticed some people doing that but thank G.O.D. I'm not one of them. I was like "Whoa! Everyone gotta take easy on Zimphire since he is so thin-skinned" and they was like "Yea! We were trying to help him expand the skin size and he kept

My jokes on Religions really sucked so I'm using you as a practice target. Wonder if that is alright with you? Praise the lord if you are completely okay with it because I think I will be needing a long practicing.

Thanks for your time and patient with me... Take care, dude.

I didn't see it as preaching, and even if he was, it's not against the rules. He is allowed to. Don't like it? Ignore him or don't read his post. It's silly to tell someone what they can or cannot post.

Adam if you aren't doing it, then you are doing a great job of faking it. Would you like me to post how many topics you have tried to derail with your religious personal attacks? I mean I can if you want me to.

It has nothing to do with thin skin, as it doesn't offend me. You need to start using the term in the right context.

I could care less. But when the mods come down on you for breaking the rules, I really don't want to hear you whining. Ok?

Sure why not! After all, you have tons of time to spend (psst, G.O.D gave you lot of free time, right? Come on, you can tell me... there's nobody around)

Oh yeah, I completely agree with you about me using the term in the right context. Like you know, if I'm not doing that, I will be transferred to HELL

I've contributed a lot to this forum so you won't be seeing me away any time soon

. I think you are the only one who are having problems with me. Everyone seem to be fine with me. Lerkfish is a religious person and I respect/like him very much. That should be saying something about you

Have you been around cleaning products recently?

Heh, now this is starting to be funny. Some mods told me that you repeatedly told them to do something about Porsche, etc. Really clever

Well said mods are lying then. I never once told them to "Do something about Porsche"
I had asked her and the mods to stop the personal attacks. Now I really don't care about personal attacks. But Porsche, like you are bringing me up in topics I am not even apart of. It's silly and petty. Now people were getting mad this kept going on. You do know I was just one of the many people that complained about the way Porsche was acting right? Did the "mods" tell you that? I am curious as to which mod you are talking about, gor or Demon? Which one said anything to you? If they did that is.

I've contributed a lot to this forum so you won't be seeing me away any time soon .

Nor do I want you to go away Adam. But this is hardly contributing to the forum.

I think you are the only one who are having problems with me. Everyone seem to be fine with me.

No, I am not having problems with you. You are obviously having problems with me. I am not the one following you around personally attacking you.

Lerkfish is a religious person and I respect/like him very much. That should be saying something about you

That is because you and Lerk both have the same opinions on matters. That is what that says to me.

No , sorry Adam, the problem isn't me.

Adam Betts · Mar 1, 2003, 03:27 PM

Zimphire,

You are so right. I agree with you 100% that the problem is me. We should do something about it since I annoyed you pretty much, right?

I'm preaching at you by showing my signature picture from another board? Yeah... right OK, I suppose you also have moral objections to hearing a POD song on the radio? Cause after all if anyone believes different than you and isn't in the closet about that you're offended and that's a BAD THING.
Why don't you guys get out of your bubble. I swear atheists who act like because they don't wanna believe in anything the rest of the world can't, are all most as annoying as the Chistians who act that way.

Serious people I acctually forgot I had that quote in there, you were supposed to pay attention to the lil apple store spoofy thing on the side, that says free when you pry him from my cold dead hands.
