I may have my thick moments, but in the meantime, I'm just rollin' too hard to take any of you seriously and not laugh my arse off.

I suppose it could be taken a few ways if it was a picture alone. The cobra could be one bad-a$$ newb about to own the forum. It could be a newb against a gang of senior members about to get its a$$ kicked. The mongeese could be a gang of newbs about to own some snake of a member who likes to pick on them. I dunno; interpret it however you'd like.

I'm not really a newb by the way. I used to play in the games threads with you quite often under a different name. Perhaps you recognize me, perhaps not.

EGGZACTLY!!

THAT is the expected response

The face looks familiar

Here's one for you poor newcomers who aren't feeling the love, I forget who wrote it unfortunately.

If you can keep your head when all around you,
lose what's thiers and blame it on you,
if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

I have always found these words of wisdom quite enlightening when judged by lesser men.

I believe it's Kipling.

I have gotten slammed a few times over my comments.. I don't care.
What are ya gonna do, come beat me up?

By the way, has anyone noticed that bigjohn has deactivated his account?

Gee, I thought he was going to buy the place.

Not that I didn't respect you before, but that respect has grown tenfold

sooo back on topic....

i've seen someone ask a new female member if she was really a woman or a man... and the lady understandably took offence... and the questioner's friends stepped in and criticized the newbie for not accepting immediately the apology....

asking such a question.. while not against the rules, is rude, is it not?

Who was bigjohn again?

I dig Kipling



If
by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream---and not make dreams your master;
If you can think---and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings---nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And---which is more---you'll be a Man, my son!

The really buffed out guy that opened the thread and asked all those who hated him to come out in the open and tell him why... and he always had cap locks on...
he was only here a few days.
Dan made a comment about steroids his first day ... something along the lines of steroids shrink your pee pee...

Some people are rude. Some people tell jokes. Some people tell rude jokes.

Yep we are supposed to be nice to people but MY GOD HOW BORING would it be if we were all so nice. Posting nice pictures to eachother and nice pictures of flowers? UGH! i swear all that niceness is just false anyway.

The world aint so nice and there aint no reason to create a false sense of niceness in this place either.

Steroids do make your pee pee shrink.

Anyway, that profile was, lets say, less than 100% real.

I am glad some people get hounded out.

Dan you know for a Brit, sometimes you are really spot on.

A 'Mingle Beer Summit' would solve any and all problems. be seeing you
