In all seriousness . . .if you're ever in a jam . . .

Money worries ??

Depressed ??

Tired of Living ??

Job getting you down ??

Drinking too much ??

Wife doesn't understand you ??

Not sleeping ?

Tough . . .don't fucking bother me, cos I couldn't give a shit . . .

(Christ, I've got worse things to worry about . . . )

That's what I like to see, a Good Samaritan. You're quite the lady, you are, sitting there with a five day growth of beard chompping on a cigar, I'll bet.

That's not a pretty picture, mate . . .

. . .but - as chronicled elsewhere - today I'm MR Shadow . . .

. . .so a slight mental adjustment might be necessary . . .

 

[tiltjlp]

I still wonder who or what exactly you might be, Mr Liz. Probably either a religious nun who does this to ease her sexual frustrations, or maybe Bob's twin sister.

Yeah, well . . .

. . .dream on baby!!!

I ain't called The Shadow fer nuthin' . . . :evil:

If you aren't Lizzie, then who the hell are you?

I find it very wierd that I like the female side of you and despise the male side of you.

Maybe you really are a quack, but if not... Lose the balls!

 

[StevOz]

bob, you despise?

I can ney believe it, I though you loved everybody even that troll leo.

Ah hahahahaha chooooooooo!

Damn this flu is killin' me. :dizzy:

Shit, Bob . . .it's really complex . .

. . .the female side of me is actually the male psyche and vice-versa.

Ah fuckit . . .PM my shrink . . .

I think I figured out the problem here, we pretty much all like each other, although I can't imagine why I feel at home here, you're all a bunch of obnoxious twits and twats. What's missing is that one person whose very presence can irritate the hell out of us on a regular basis. Anyone know how to get in touch with that idiot's delight UT2player?

Or maybe a flame war would rouse things up, except it wouldn't be the real thing, except that probably wouldn't work either, since except for me and the Dude, no one here has the vocabulary intelligence to make a really interesting statement. Wrench is a member here, so maybe he'll get off his lazy butt and turn his storytelling talents into something that can ignite this group of losers.

Shadow can't do the job, because he/she/it/they doesn't seem to know from one day to the next if it's got a cunt or a cock. And Bob can't do it because he's too nice a guy, and isn't able to leave his good humor on the door step. Steve would be perfect, except, being an Aussie, who the hell would understand him anyway.

So we need UT2player, and we need Shadow to screw up it's courage and write that condesending and apologetic note to Mr Wanker, and then post it here so we all can rag on straight laced Mr Rightious. So see, it's not really anyone's fault. But if it takes a reformed son of a bitch like me to try and stir things up, it sure does reflect poorly on the lot of you.

About all that's left for me to do in an attempt to make this joint livelier would be to revert back into the rotten drunk of 30 years ago who used to write porn novels for $250 a pop, and I ain't about to do that, you moldering sacks of puss. Well, at least I tried. This forums fate lies in all your hands, so quit diddling yourselves and shake things up.

John, I tend to disagree with your statement... This one little forum is busier than the mighty shivasite AND the rest of Pinball Nirvana added together. :D

Mu-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha....

 

[tiltjlp]

Yeah, for once in your life you're right Bob. I guess I expected something different, that's all. I expected a lot spicier posts than we're seeing, and by spicy I don't mean foul language, although I did think there'd a lot more cursing, and I do appreciate the lack thereof. But other than all the goofy name suggestions, and Dude's thread about Randy/Black, it almost seems like this could be a church. So what I should have said was that I had figured there would be a different flavor and character here than I've seen so far. I'm enjoying it, juist surprised a bit.

Contrary to popular belief, VPFF wasn't all madness and mahem. It was pretty on-topic for pinball for the most part except in the lounge type areas, which weren't supposed to be about pinball. A few times some crap spilled over into pinball t hreads from guys like Cowboy and Catalyst, but it was usually a cool place most of the time. The last thing you want to do is invite people here that will bring nothing but flame wars. People like Catalyst are what RUINED VPFF, not what made it interesting, IMO. Free speech is the ability to say what you want. Just because you can, that doesn't mean you SHOULD. IMO, words are just words used to convey meaning. But the meaning of a foul word is lost when used constantly. Thus, Shadow's sailor-like talk doesn't have much meaning, IMO. If I choose to use a foul word it's either for social context or to indicate irony (e.g. Shadow's Fucking FunHouse) or because I'm pissed off. Not being able to use a given word at VPF is irritating sometimes, but given the way different people react SO differently to some language (the Puritan types get pissed off seeing the word fuck no matter HOW it's used; they give WAY too much power to that word, IMO.) My mother hates that word for some inexplicable reason so I hated it too growing up for a long time and then I got a speech in a debate class on foul language and this PHD feminist changed my mind about foul lanugage in general.

It's just a WORD and words by themselves are meaningless. A word has NO power except that what you give it, particularly so-called "bad" words. "CRAP" is IDENTICAL to the word "SHIT" in definition except that "SHIT" is supposedly much fouler for some reason? Why is that? I can't think of ANY legitimate reason for it. "HECK" is OK but "HELL" is bad. Why? I'll tell you why. It's because at some point in time some prude decided they were too good to say "HELL" and so they came up with HECK instead. It means HELL but is supposed to candy-coat the word for some reason. We're all going to burn in HECK for saying HELL? UGH....


I'm of the opinion that a spade should be called a spade not a spud or something because gambling is EVIL.... Don't even mention CARDS! They're EVIL dang-nabbit (DAMN IT!)

Language is a total HOOT, IMO. I've run into total NUTS that tried to tell me that the only legitimate version of The Bible is the King James version. They actually tried to tell me it was the first and only proper translation of God's Word. Gee? What happened to Hebrew and Greek? They tried to convince me that was nonsense just like some NUTS think The Holocaust never actually happened.... But it's EASY to think like that when your mind is SHUT and you only believe what some priest/pastor/preacher/bishop/cardinal/NUTCASE tells you instead of thinking for yourself. A closed mind is a rotting mind, IMO (very easy to brainwash to cause evil at that too, just pervert it what they already think so they attack all others that disagree with them; that's where all the religious wars come from). This devil character (present in some form in many religions) has a very easy job with these people if his purpose is chaos. "It would be a sin to vote for John Kerry" some Cardinal or Bishop prolclaimed awhile back. Well there's a self-righteous person playing God if I ever saw it....

Anyway, what was I talking about?

 

[StevOz]

Strueth Dude, I thought you knew "SHIT" is one of the Cursed words. :evil:
