Shouldn't you be banned?
Problem?

That would fall within the purview of your conundrums of forum politics :)

Politics? Politics be damned! I want you hit with the ban hammer for having a sense of humour!

Watch you don't hit your thumb with it, then...

Until I break the rules, you got nuttin. You can't arbitrarily ban a law abiding engineer. Not if you know what's good for you :)

Snark.  Snark, snark, snark.  SNARK!!

This was a test of the emergency snark system.  Should this have been an actual snark, you would have been informed how to respond to the snarking emergency.  We now return you to your previously scheduled thread.

:laughing:


Snark me! What the snark? No snarking way, man?

Funny story... I read this as "potato, potato" not "potato, potato" or "potato, potato" or even "potato, potato" :-D


This?

That being said, I digress.  I've ruined this perfectly off-topic thread by re-assuming the seriousness I wanted to so desperately shed off.

Let's put down our respective weapons and have a toast to what once was, and to everyone's health and happiness.  I think that we can all agree on that, and this is -- after all -- the holiday season.

In light of this, myself and my equally neer-do-well spectrally challenged partner in crime Adz feel the following is appropriate:




I'll tell you what happened to the real Amiga community -- and I'm not talking about hispanic lesbian chicks, though that would be kinda cool nehheheehhhehh -- No, this is a story that must be told and I shall tell it using the powerful medium of the 80's answer to glam rock, Bon Jovi. I call this song "Livin' on a LOL"...

*sings*

Once upon the org,
Not so long ago.

T_Bone used to post on the org,
Kenny's been on strike,
We're down our lulz, it's tough, so tough

Blobrana used to post here all day,
Lookin at the skies for fun things to say
For lulz - for lulz

We've got to lol on at what we've got,
We're only getting older,
So why the hell not?
We still got pancakes and that's a lot.
For lulz - we'll give it a shot!

[Woooa hoah!] We're half way there...
[Woooa hoah!] In a rocking chair!

Pass my pills, I need 'em, I swear
[Woooa hoah!] What happened to my hair?

Meers went and gave up his spot,
And Fluffy's long gone, when he used
post so much, it sucks.

Glaucus went and legged it away,
Iama trolled in the night
We'd all figure he's gay... so gay

We've got to lol on at what we've got,
Though Wilse is not here
And PMC's dropped
So many friends gone but not forgot,
For lulz - we'll give it a shot!

[Woooa hoah!] We're half way there...
[Woooa hoah!] This place is getting square!

Post more lulz, we need 'em, I swear
[Woooa hoah!] It's to serious to bear!

That is all...

Speaking of "funny as hell"...

Anyone catch Fleecy Moss' profile on Facebook?  Particularly the pictures of him in drag?


Step 1: Apply mind bleach
Step 2: Rinse brain thoroughly
Step 3: Repeat until image eradicated

(PS - Love the Potato site. Strangely, the site had adverts for 'Pork' - a recording/merchandising brand started in Hull by an old acquaintance!)


Tis the website of Jonathan Picking of weebl & bob fame :) First saw his stuff around 2002/3 or thereabouts.

I saw the first "PIE!" episode of W&B and was hooked :lol:

wow, isn't it sad that some people have never had the pleasure and honor to use an Amiga! We are the Elite.


We were in the right place at the right time, I guess :)

linux is making inroads. it may seem slow like a glacier, but it is craving deep groves in the ground. These days I do most of my work in Ubuntu. I only use Windows for AfterEffects.


I only boot into WIndows to play (modern) games; the one niche where it can still truly be said that it destroys all competition. Even the few productivity apps I did use I've subsequently got working under Wine.

Harsh guys! There's nothing wrong with either cross dressing or being gay!


Not sure I follow... who said there was? :confused:

Very quick to jump on the defensive there Matt. Summat you're not telling us? :lol:

Some of the previous posts were a bit unnecessarily derogatory


Well, we did used to insinuate Iama was a repressed homosexual whenever he'd go off on a big anti-gay rant.... *shrug*

If you ever came to one of our gigs you'd see my shameless attention seeking stagewear ;)


Well, keyboardists always get a rum deal on stage...

Either forced to stand behind a their instruments, or worse yet (and thankfully this died the death it deserved) get a keytar and look really ridiculous.

So I decided I needed to play guitar too :lol:
