Dunno why you leave me a riddle instead of actually calling me a name? (Some kind of half assed insult attempt?) And I didn't say I was special or better than you (guys). You are reading into my post exactly how I told you not to. I wasn't specifically claiming this 1 post on all of TL is the only reason I am different. It's a number of things I just don't relate with at all, and this kind of random fan fiction stuff is part of it (ex; hot_bid does this kind of stuff all the time).
imo it's not even a joke it's just clutter to me (and I'm not implying that my posting is the best or his is the worst either). So that is why I do not understand how you(guys) all loved it, when it's the complete opposite to me. I was just trying to understand it. That's all I'm saying.

ps- brown nosing and cocksucking mean the same thing, what the hell difference does it make how you say it. In fact if you visualize each act, which one is more disgusting?

Alright we're way off-topic here so I'll be brief... er than I usually am:

I was just explaining the joke, something I hate doing, and you were not just asking someone to explain the joke to you, you were at the same time implying that there was nothing to understand and that anyone who liked the joke was a cocksucker. Great job there bub. And if you were to tell your friends you didn't want to join in their games not because you felt they were immature or even childish, but because you yourself were "dissimilar" to them, you'd get your ass kicked wouldn't you?

And Charlie, the difference between "brown-nosing" and "cocksucking" is the same as the difference between "you're a bad man!" and "FUCK YOU!"

Which is something any third grader will be able to tell you. And on the subject of words, I think the common denominator of people who liked the joke was love of language, in other words it was not the joke itself but the way it was told that made it what it was. But fuck, I do hate to explain why shit is funny.

Buttfuck shit, teeheeeee!

Ok so feeling a little guilty here about jumping on the bashwagon, I gotta say I'm curious about this whole legal action thingy. The ones who are being sued are... record companies, right? And the ones who are doing the suing are... other record companies, right? Or are the artists acting on their own, outside of influences from their labels?

So basically all we need now is for the consumers to sue the artists and the whole deal will have gone full circle. I propose we start with Kanye West, that guy is a total douche.

Edit: Charlie, we're way too dissimilar, I'm taking a furlough from this congregation of altercations.
Excuse me hun, but what is your name? Vivian? I woke up next to you naked and, uh, did we, um?

i didn't call anyone who liked the joke a cocksucker, I said it could be either that or the other.

Brown nosing = sticking your nose up their ass because you think their shit doesn't stink.
And where i'm from, if you refer to someone sucking someone's dick it means the same as brown nosing. (a relevant context would be a woman in an office who sucked her way up the ranks)

ps- your analogy is absurd
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

I'm going to print out a thousand and bathe in it.


I will print out however many it takes to approximate the weight of a healthy female. Then, I will not allow myself to rest until I have used this mass of articles to fashion a crude homunculus. Carefully, ever so gently, I will construct its facial features, its breasts (just the right size), its hips and thighs, the gentle curving of its buttocks and finally, (with trembling fingers), its genitalia. I will have it don a pretty dress and I will take it out to picknicks by the beach. I will tell it jokes and I will share stories that I have never before shared with anyone. Slowly, it will fall for me. We will hold hands as the sun dips into the sea over by the horizon, in silent awe of nature and quiet appreciation of one another. We will share secrets. We will share a bed, and even a toothbrush. When the time is right, we will get married. Others will judge me, but I won't care. With the most self-confident of smiles, I will call them ignorant. I won't even notice the empty church as I say my vows - I will have eyes only for my spouse. In due time, a pregnancy will follow. The doctor will be unable to hide his revulsion as he delivers our children. He will proclaim them to be demonic creatures and he will try to douse them in petrol - I will stop him. We will love our children, despite them being mushy, half-meat, half-paper wads. We will raise them to be good wads, the best wads they could possibly be. As they leave the house, we will know that we have done a fine job. As we are alone again, we will fill our autumn years with slow walks and cosy nights by the fireplace, quietly reminiscing about a life well-lived. We will tell each other "I love you" with nothing but a simple glance and a little smile. We will see each other grow old and wordlessly accept the implications. Finally, as she expires, I will find myself wanting to have gone first, to spare myself the grief of having half of one's soul taken away. When, after a few days, my weeping stops, I will solemnly carry her coffined remains to our back yard. By the cherry tree (her favorite tree in the whole wide yard), I will dig a grave and lay her to rest. Stopping only to dry my eyes and clear my vision, I will then dig a second grave and, smiling, knowing I could not have asked for a more beautiful and joy-filled life, I will use my dad's old gun, and lay myself to rest.


Damnit Cow, couldn't you have let the idea grow a bit before you out one-upped us all?

But lol anyways.

Charlie, you're a level above us. It might just be too hard to comprehend our thinking.



I love when arrogant is the first response to questioning others. Sadly to say Badjas, and I know this is really gonna hit the spot:

Somebody doesn't always think they are smarter than you when they oppose your opinion. Now please, get on our level. You're one step below.

edit: In retrospect, I guess it IS the easiest way out of an argument. Somebody debates you, *BAM*, call em arrogant, and you've possibly just discredited their argument somehow (wtf?)

I guess I took charlie's post in a different light than you did. I found his post to be arrogant, and I countered.

Definitely not suck CoW's cock but I will definitely suck CoW's four breasts since it's rich in calcium!

not to derail the thread if they fucking win that 60 billion dollar lawsuit? Hell, what will happen to recording artists?
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

I get better news coverage here at teamliquid than I do watching cnn or your average shit-for-news tv news. Anyway, best news I heard this week, I truly hope they get nailed with their own poison and they don't weasel out of the class action suit.

TL.net does deliver some great news stories, yeah

As to the lawsuit... I'm not a particularly vindictive fellow. But the big four of the recording industry? They were just asking for it.

They had a bad, reactionary business model that stomped on innovation.

Instead of trying to win back consumers with good, legitimate alternatives, they harassed consumers, bringing some of them to financial ruin.

They claimed to do this on behalf of the artists, but most artists didn't want this. In fact, the record labels were also screwing the artists over, raking in the vast majority of profits from album sales.

They led a crusade against consumers in the name of copyright- and now it turns out they also engage in copyright infringement on a massive scale? Man, but I hope they burn for this.

On an unrelated note, CoW's controversial post was a bit over the top, but quite funny :p
