Banning registry

[Pogo]

Oh god, this guy actually has a website?

[Mario_AU]

excuse me, i am not blind.... you talk about me as if i wasn't here or something ???

you do realize that even of the ones that are banned they can still read the forums, right ?

tsk tsk....

[Dave Markell]

excuse me, i am not blind.... you talk about me as if i wasn't here or something ???

Give it an hour or so.

THE POSTS ARE COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE

[Hans Lauring]

We need a very small graphic for all the idiots who join and flameout before they hit 1000 posts or Woos nice poster will be full of "who was he?"-names in no time.

If a guy called FoRmaT is teaching proper use of capitalization and knifewielding vigilante Pogo is the voice of reason, then the thread has taken a bad turn...

[Lazy Shiftless Bastard]

What I really like is that he pretty much lurked for almost six months before suddenly coming out guns blazing with no provocation, and then decided to start spreading his raving to unrelated threads for no reason (http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showpost.php?p=1437065&postcount=86). It's like he woke up and decided "Today I will go insane!"

[Mario_AU]

For this single post I will make a temporary signature as an omen to you haters.

I can not be denied.

I think that about sums it up.

Fire away!

[Siren]

Dewd. That was epic.

[Rimbo]

If a guy called FoRmaT is teaching proper use of capitalization and knifewielding vigilante Pogo is the voice of reason, then the thread has taken a bad turn...

He posts sober worse than I post drunk.

Wait, what? I stop following a thread because it gets boring and *this* happens? Wow.

[Glenn]

I didn't notice this before, but holy fuck is it hilarious:


it seems i'm being persecuted because of my race. (i am part aboriginal)

http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showpost.php?p=1437571&postcount=106

If only I had known that the barely coherent retard was of a different race, I'd have treated him differently and expected less of him.Alan, please please please include the quote on the poster.

[UncleSmoothie]

O.K., off I go then as it were to play computer games. Special greets fly out to BobJustBob in the meantime (http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showpost.php?p=1437733&postcount=135).

All that, and he's in league with Bob, too.

It's as if he registered in March, and then spent 5 months watching and learning every conceivable button he could push to be the ultimate Qt3 troll. Mario AU is a message board griefing mastermind.

[RSofaer]

Not many reasons to do an update since the last version, but since people asked... *chart*

What are the little numbers on some of the names?

[Mark Crump]

you do realize that even of the ones that are banned they can still read the forums, right ?

tsk tsk....

Actually, that's part of the fun.

[Kunikos]

What are the little numbers on some of the names?

Hell, I just want to know where the teddy-bears in berets came from.

[ZekeDMS]

The mysterious imagination of Woo, clearly.

[Albert Woo]

What are the little numbers on some of the names?
The graphic is essentially a combination of two different charts, so the numbers are cross-references linking the two sides.

[BobJustBob]

All that, and he's in league with Bob, too.

I'm being set up!

[RickH]

Hey! How did Rimbo get an additional title line?

Someone has something I don't have. Dammit.

[Sol Invictus]

What happened to Magnetic_rose? Self-banned?
Magnetic Rose still posts as MRose.

[Rimbo]

Hey! How did Rimbo get an additional title line?

I don't know if I should be proud or ashamed. (http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showthread.php?t=46445&page=2)

[Bill Dungsroman]

Magnetic Rose still posts as MRose.

Does she really now? There's uh...no MRose. Tell me you don't mean you think she's posting as HRose, Sol. JESUS.

[Bill Dungsroman]

Oh.

Crap.

I had a brainfart right there, Bill.

[Bill Dungsroman]

Oh.

Crap.

Hehehehe eh, it happens.

[Robert Sharp]

Sometimes if you say something silly (or shameful) you get an extra line. Or if you are super cool and own a frop bog.

[Hans Lauring]

BillD is dating HRose.


That would explain his seething anger...

[RickH]

I don't know if I should be proud or ashamed. (http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showthread.php?t=46445&page=2)

Wow. That was one great meltdown. You earned it.

[ElGuapo]

Wait, holy shit. BillD just admitted he was Magnetic Rose. Or something.

[Robert Sharp]

How did Bill fit into that red dress?

[Dave Markell]

There are certain things man is not meant to know.

[Bill Dungsroman]

BillD is dating HRose.


That would explain his seething anger...

I'd be offended by proxy if anyone was confused with HRose (even you you freaky Dutch bastard)

[Jon Rowe]

"God I hate you so much..."

Is this guy serious? Wow, awesome awesome self destruction.

I can feel his anger, it is very weird

[Aleck]

Wait, holy shit. BillD just admitted he was Magnetic Rose. Or something.

The "or something" being that Mag's body is decomposing out in the Nevada desert.

[Tankero]

Decomposing? Oh no, Billy Dee is keeping that carcass nice, conserved and lubriderm'd where appropriate.

[Patrick]

Just dropping in to once again say great job Albert.

[Machfive]

Initiate countdown.

[Tortilla]

Countdown for . . . ? It there's a meltdown happening in a thread somewhere, at least have the decency to link.

[nlanza]

He probably means this (http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showthread.php?t=46708).

Also, looks like Mario_AU is gone. Can't say I'm all that surprised.

Ah, my bad, Nick. Nlanza guessed at the right one, though.

Yeah, that was a dead cert. Surprised it took as long as it did.

[MikeSofaer]

when did dashingly go down?

[Dirt]

Can't even view the public profile of banned folk no more.

[Pogo]

Did Mario_AU actually say something that drove Tom over the edge? He seemed pretty quiet after his last hissy fit in the whatever-thread-that-was-about-pirating.

[Adam Sensoy]

That guy was crazy!!

[Jon Rowe]

So, that Mario AU thing.

I have done some nerd-rage dramatic readings in the past, and well.. I was thinking about doing a new one of Mario_AU's post.

I was wondering if that was Taboo to post on here?

[Adam B]

If it is, can we sign up for it to be PM'd?

I don't see how anything other than hilarity can ensue.

[Jon Rowe]

Yeah, I have done a few before, and I typed up a script for this one, I just don't want to step on any toes.

[Anaxagoras]

If you do a nerd rage reading, and aren't allowed to post a link here, I'd love a PM.

yentacracy

This is so my new userid or character name or whatever for the next year.

Sorry

I was all set to do this last night.

Quite a few from that thread he was banned in, and I ordered them into some sort of climax

[Tortilla]

Absolutely brilliant!

[Menzo]

Where the heck is this thread?! I totally missed it and this reading is unbelievably awesome. There should be a museum of awesome flameouts.

[Funkula]

Yeah, that was awesome. It almost makes me want to clip out little snippets for use on the PoE TF2 server, and I never do that sound-clip shit.

[Hans Lauring]

"Mr. Collage degree!"

Damn fine work.

I love the use of music behind it all as well. This is great.

[DrCrypt]

Among Mario's many fine qualities and habits? He's a spammer too. Curious about his utterly terrible website, I clicked on it (within Firefox 3.0, on OS X). I didn't enter my email address anywhere. Nevertheless, he seems to have figured out how to slurp it up from all of his visitors automatically, or else just scraped it from Qt3's public profiles... despite the fact that I've never once even replied to him or talked to him on the forums. I just got this email from him to my account:


Hello yentas,

This is to let you all know that I'm about to start playing BioShock.
In the meantime there is an awesome sound clip I'd like you all to listen to.
If you like funny this is very so. Here it is. Thanks go to J man for making it. (Aldo he's a fucking kike cunt for deliberately saying taxi538 instead of taxi583 at the very end to send people to the wrong site. Faggot fucker should fuck his mother.)
Anyway, the clip had me literally in fucking tears. Enjoy.



Remember, you can always leave your hate on here.

It's a brilliant bit of retro webdesign. There's absolutely no content, but he did manage a donation page.
I'm no expert, but don't see how he can get my e-mail adress just by visiting his webpage, so go. Look at the wonders and enjoy this bit from his FAQ:



One of my fundamental web design philosophies is based on the K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid) principal. This ensures that most visitors can easily navigate my site without getting lost or confused whilst maintaining a high degree of awareness. Finding up to date, relevant information is only mouse clicks away. It is also not uncommon for myself to ambulate the Internet seeking out great ideas and concepts to implement into my evolving design strategy. My rapid deployment schedule of new and emerging technologies ensures the most up to date and visually stunning experience for my visitors. This factor combined with habitual technology improvements assures I remain competitive and fresh.

Cliffski and the Pirates, page 2 and further. (http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showthread.php?t=46451&page=2)

[Hans Lauring]

It's impressive that the last piracy-thread involving Cliffski led to him and Chet more or less selfbanning.
This one, where Cliffski sort of returned but in a very reasonable manner, led to the quick flameout of Mario_AU.

We should have more threads about piracy.

Anybody seen www.mygazines.com? That has the potential to hurt even more of the professionals posting here than most torrent sites...

[Wholly Schmidt]

I thought Chet bowed out long ago, did he come back and I missed it?

I started doing dramatic readings a while back, but I do enjoy doing them. I am sure I will have more soon.

Expect for pretty much any flame-out ban to have an accompanying dramatic reading.

[Sidd_Budd]

Jon, that was amazing. We've had some crazy flameouts on Qt3; it would be great if you could search through the archives of some of our earlier banned folks and make a couple of these a year for us. Along with Albert's graphics, our yenta-like fascination with bannings would morph into a multimedia extravaganza.

[Jason McMaster]

I almost want to pay you to read all of my posts

[Funkula]

I nominate the Fallout 3 thread to get the treatment next. It might be hard to narrow it down to a particular dipshit though, so maybe a mix of all our favorite NMA denizens would be in order.

[mono]

The next banning registry needs to be a flash/multimedia affair. When you hover your mouse over an entry, you get the dramatic re-enactment of their flame-out.

I wasn't lying about the whole "room full of paper thing"

My Friend Petey
http://i35.tinypic.com/mwefyu.jpg

My Room basically was like a Chuck-e-Cheese ball-pit
http://i38.tinypic.com/10h3dbd.jpg

I am at one with my new paper world.
http://i33.tinypic.com/116sxtz.jpg

[Dave Markell]

The paper-room thing is a good prank. Still, it pales in comparison to my all-time personal favorite. A friend at Duke lived at the fraternity next door to mine. When he was a pledge, his entire pledge class developed a serious hatred for their pledge master.

Well, another pledge's father owned a construction company nearby. Late one night, the pledges grabbed a bunch of cinder blocks and mortar from said company, went to the fraternity, and built a floor-to-ceiling wall in front of the door to the pledge master's 3rd floor room while he was asleep inside it. Imagine his reaction the next morning when he couldn't get out. He eventually tied his sheets to his bedframe, swung through the 2nd floor window below him, and took a sledge to the wall.

[Jason McMaster]

you're also one with the dark lord, it appears.

[Funkula]

More frat pranks need to draw inspiration from Edgar Allan Poe.

[Ryan A]

Does the fact that Jon Danger and his friends look young mean I'm old?

[Rimbo]

Actually, rasputin ought to do a dramatic reading or two. He's got mad voice talent.

[Rimbo]

Does the fact that Jon Danger and his friends look young mean I'm old?

Ayup.

[Funkula]

I would just like to note that the phrase "It's so elegant and real." will not leave my head. It sounds like dialogue for a supervillain, describing his vision of a world without humanity or whatever.

[Sol Invictus]

Here's how I imagine Mario:


A world without ISO doubters. Some day! Cracks, they say? CRACKS?! Such a frivolous term for art... for beauty.

Oh they will see... THEY WILL SEE.

[hong]

How I imagine Mario:

[Aeon221]

http://fidgit.com/

Mario_AU spazzed through most of the comments after he figured out he could post with the name Tom Chick. Linked his shitwagon site. I posted a comment to warn people who click the top one, but I figured it'd be best to link here so that other people could see what a total rectum romper he was.

Hopefully Tom will have fixed it before anyone gets a chance to check.

[Hans Lauring]

Never mind, the site is great entertainment.

[Unicorn McGriddle]

Hey Tom, did you ban BobJustBob for calling Dave Markell a cunt?

[quatoria]

You yenta!

[Machfive]

In Bob's defense, Dave is.

[Not One Of Us]

A cunt?

[Tom Chick]

Hey Tom, did you ban BobJustBob for calling Dave Markell a cunt?

Not that it's any of your business, but no, I didn't. If you have any questions about the how the forum is run, you can PM me.

-Tom

[Unicorn McGriddle]

Yeah, I could ask you privately and get a private answer, but it's as a member of the Qt3 public that I want to know if we're still allowed to use the word Dave.

[MattKeil]

Oooh, I hope the updated graphic says "BannedJustBanned"

[Tom Chick]

Yeah, I could ask you privately and get a private answer, but it's as a member of the Qt3 public that I want to know if we're still allowed to use the word Dave.

Alternatively, you could act like an adult. It's pretty sad when I have to ask people not to run around using the c-word like little kids testing how much they can get away with. I've made my opinion clear in the thread where the issue came up. If you can't figure from that what is and isn't appropriate, there are plenty of other forums where your lack of social skills will be welcome.

-Tom

[Machfive]

Is this the wrong thread to talk about how the thing I love about QT3 is that we're all adults and we don't have to have stupid things like prohibitions on language because, as adults, we don't read too much into silly little things like 'curse words' and can act rationally when confronted by things that would sometimes be called 'obscene?'

Maybe it is.

[hong]

Ppl, there's plenty of ways to be juvenile without swearing.

Trust me on this.

[Tom Chick]

And just to clarify, it's not swearing per se that's a problem. The problem is when someone rightly points out that you guys are being crass jerks, your reaction is to post a giant picture of an objectionable word and then use the word over and over again because you think it's funny. When I then suggest that it's not funny to me, rolling it out again and again doesn't increase the funny.

-Tom

[Unicorn McGriddle]

Certainly there are worse justifications you could have given. Under the circumstances, I am inclined to be mollified. Nevertheless, banning Bob seems awfully harsh, as he wasn't the one who posted the giant graphic. True, he is a lunatic who loves only Dynasty Warriors and upskirt shots of rare birds, but I'd hate to see him gone over this.

[Tom Chick]

Under the circumstances, I am inclined to be mollified. Nevertheless, banning Bob seems awfully harsh, as he wasn't the one who posted the giant graphic..

As I said, no such thing happened. And again, next time you're in need of "being mollified", there's a little hyperlink up there and slightly to the right that you can use to send me a message. You'll find my username immediately to the left of this post. If that's too complicated, you can click on my username and select "send private message" from the dropdown menu.

-Tom

[BobJustBob]

I don't only love Dynasty Warriors. I love Dynasty Warriors in addition to many other things. Like Mercenaries 2, which is far better than GTA4 no matter what Tom says.

[Ed Solomon]

I was going to ask, "what the hell is a tapir?" But then I remembered the internet.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapir

[Dave Markell]

Me, man. I'm a tapir.

[Angie Gallant]

For the record, I find the idea that we of the weaker sex need the menfolk to protect us from the big, bad 4 letter word incredibly patronizing.

[Staff Sergeant]

You c-...tapir.

[Stroker Ace]

CARLIN!

[Machfive]

For the record, I find the idea that we of the weaker sex need the menfolk to protect us from the big, bad 4 letter word incredibly patronizing.

That's because you're a huge Dave Markell's weeping twat.

[Tom Chick]

For the record, I find the idea that we of the weaker sex need the menfolk to protect us from the big, bad 4 letter word incredibly patronizing.

For the record, no one's trying to "protect" you, Angie. Believe it or not, this has nothing to do with you. It has to do with social standards. I'd react the same way if people starting tossing around the n-word.

-Tom

[Dave Markell]

For the record, I find the idea that we of the weaker sex need the menfolk to protect us from the big, bad 4 letter word incredibly patronizing.

I don't think anyone has said or implied that, Angie, just as I don't think we're being patronizing to African-Americans by disallowing the big, bad 6 letter word. A (very) few terms are so demeaning and controversial that's it's better to avoid them entirely. My wife doesn't need "protection" from the environment here. She decided it was a hostile place to be, and left for friendlier pastures. That angered me. I'd like to think that this forum, because of its industry and journalism ties, would be the best place on the net for female gamers, so I spoke up.

[madkevin]

Noika?

[Angie Gallant]

The original request by Dave was framed as protecting a woman's sensibilities, and that seems to have caused the snowball to this point, so that's what I was reacting to. For what it's worth, and I know that's not much, I don't see any equivalence between the two words you are comparing.

[Staff Sergeant]

I don't think anyone has said or implied that, Angie, just as I don't think we're being patronizing to African-Americans by disallowing the big, bad 6 letter word.

No place is a friendly place if you can't handle some internet ass-hats tossing around cliched curse words just to get a reaction.

[MattKeil]

Like Mercenaries 2, which is far better than GTA4 no matter what Tom says.

Welcome back and all, but that is batshit insanity.

[Ed Solomon]

Come on, Angie. Think of poor little me. I can handle just about anything, but that particular synecdoche just makes me want to punch people. Hard.

[Tim James]

I don't think I've seen global word replacement since the BBS days. Good to hear it's alive and well!

[Staff Sergeant]

... synecdoche ...

Holy shit... thought it was a typo but wikipedia returned results. Do you actually use this word with any regularity? That's hardcore.

[Aeon221]

I don't only love Dynasty Warriors. I love Dynasty Warriors in addition to many other things. Like Mercenaries 2, which is far better than GTA4 no matter what Tom says.

I am very glad you did not get banned.

[Bahimiron]

Welcome back and all, but that is batshit insanity.

I donno, man.

Maybe I've just not yet gotten to the part in Mercs 2 where I have a choice between four different arbitrary chase missions, but so far I'm willing to go with Mercs 2 if only because the characterization on Mattias is so much more consistent than Nico.

Seriously.

[Ed Solomon]

Holy shit... thought it was a typo but wikipedia returned results. Do you actually use this word with any regularity? That's hardcore.

Hardcore? Hardly. Tom would have spelled it in the original Greek.

Ed, a kenning is the use of a recognized property or action to represent that which has that property or performs that action. In the strictest sense, it refers to the use of a traditional alias of this kind in Norse poetry. The technique is a form of synecdoche.

Norse poetry has a couple of other interesting and unusual properties. Assonance (similar sounds in successive words) was a popular substitute for rhyme because it was better suited to the language (of Old Norse). Some works incorporated two-part lines and even call and response.

How'd I do?

You guys are morons. I'll give you a clue. "Kenning is 'alf the battle."

[Unicorn McGriddle]

Yes, "ken" also means "to know" in oldey timey speak. (Gaelic picked it up from one of the Norse languages, I think, but I'm a little shaky on that, so don't go citing me in your research papers.) That's why these poetically indirect allusions to things were called kennings -- because the audience knew -- kenned -- what the speaker was talking about. Everyone already knew that "drinker of ships" was another name for the ocean or whatever. It was what today would be a pop-culture reference -- a callback to the shared entertainment knowledge of the people involved, like Shakespeare's use of myths and legends.

For the record, I find the idea that we of the weaker sex need the menfolk to protect us from the big, bad 4 letter word incredibly patronizing.
That's not very fair. TC's made his policies on the forum very clear (I should know!) and whenever someone repeatedly crosses the line, what reasonable choice does he have left? The fact is that "the c-word" is perhaps only mildly obscene and jocular in some cultures, for instance in England; but in America some (including me) consider it to be the most foul, derogatory, end-of-discussion word that exists in our language no matter the context of its usage.

A forum consisting primarily of black Americans discussion racial issues would probably treat "the n-word" the same, and it wouldn't be simply protecting women or something if the moderator got heavy handed for gratuitous usage of these words (in large images, no less).

edit: And now I see people have already said this. Well in my defense, the feminist martyr complex has gotten a little higher around here lately what with Hillary Clinton and all, so my bad.

Particularly since you obviously don't give a shit about offending women one way or another. Also, really, Shift? Martyr complex? A woman saying "I don't find that word particularly offensive, and I don't need you to defend me from it" is exhibiting a 'martyr complex'? The suggestion that Angie is trying to be a martyr by making it clear that she's not going to faint dead away at the sight of the word is a hell of a lot more offensive than the word itself, frankly.

[shift6]

You know, that's a good question and I don't have the answer. Perhaps part of it is that there are no non-vulgar meanings for the word (among Americans) while most other vulgar words have non-offensive, if marginalized, meanings (as Carlin joked, a Disney movie could say "we're going to snatch that pussy and put it in a box"). Perhaps it's the single syllable, starting and ending with strong consonants (what's the word, gutturals? I can't remember.) that give it a kind of final hits-the-ground-with-no-bounce flavor. I don't know to be honest.

It's clearly quite near the edge of the spectrum for others as well however, so my opinion that it is the #1 worst doesn't seem too much of a stretch.

No, I said very clearly that the recent feminist martyr complex had to do with the Hillary Clinton goings-on. I invite you to those many threads to read up on it, but one clue that I was not bashing Angie right now: Angie didn't defend Hillary or Hillary's womanhood in any of those threads (that I can recall), hence Angie was not playing martyr cards.

I note, also, that you sanitized Angie's actual statement quite a bit by replacing her sarcastic "we of the weaker sex" with "I" in your "quote" above. Her sarcasm was clear in first using the weaker sex phrase she actually used and then directly calling it patronizing; and this is in sharp distinction to those others (again, not Angie as far as I recall) who in my view have recently been playing feminist martyr cards in other discussions.

Although I am curious how you arrive at your conclusion that I "don't give a shit about offending women one way or another". Why would you think this, because I don't subscribe to the extreme positions of feminism (such as the oft-repeated suggestion, paraphrased, that people who preferred Obama to Hillary are sexists who hate her for being a woman)? Must I agree with that evaluation to be a woman-loving man in your view?

I agree. If you don't want the word to ever be used on the forum, then why turn off the word filter? There's something sort of weirdly passive-aggressive about telling people "I'm going to let you do this... but don't do it." Just cut the Gordian knot and let the tapirs roam free!

edit: And now I see people have already said this. Well in my defense, the feminist martyr complex has gotten a little higher around here lately what with Hillary Clinton and all, so my bad.

That's fine, you can think it's unfair. I was pretty clearly expressing my personal opinion and I don't have any real expectation of anything changing based on my preferences, I just wanted to throw it in there.

I know some people take legitimate offense to the word for whatever reason, but the amount of outrage expressed strikes me as being over the top. After all, both on this forum and definitely in the gamer culture in general are pretty liberal with using "pussy" in a derogatory way and it's referring to the same thing. Perhaps I've seen too many girls, and I use that term deliberately, use it as a "get out of being in the wrong for verbally abusing someone else" card. The outrage frequently, but not always, feels manufactured to me, partially because people often insist that any use of it is equally offensive no matter what the context is. Consider me closer to the Brits in this case, I guess, I just fail to see what is gained by getting wound up over a perfectly satisfactory swear word.

For what it's worth, I have no problem no longer using images that contain swearing even though that means no more singing shark. I don't want to get anyone fired.

[Guido Jones]

See the difference between me and you Tom, is that I would have replaced the offending word with "Dave Markell" instead of "Tapir"

Disagree. It's censorship. When some damn comedian replies to "please don't say strawberry licorice as it's offensive to both fruit and candy" with a giant NSFW picture of a soaking wet package of twizzlers drooling viscous red goo he should be dealt with individually. But that's just my opinion, and it's not my living room.

I don't normally comment on closed accounts, but the Rollory situation is different. He asked me several days ago to close his account and when I didn't (I get these requests from time to time and I tend to give them cooldown time), he then threatened to start sabotaging the forum by posting bannable stuff. I'm not sure what he had in mind, but I didn't care to find out. So, his account was closed. Personally, I didn't feel he'd done anything bannable or even PMable, although his "you aren't American if you don't vote for McCain" post was pretty crass, even for P&R. This all predated the latest stuff.

As for calling this latest stuff an "outrage", as Angie put it, the only outrage I see is from some of you who don't get that being on a private forum is like hanging out in someone's living room. If you want to exercise your Internet-given right to be crass, juvenile, and willfully offensive, there are plenty of places you can go to do that.

And if you can't see the difference between a funny comic of a shark singing "suck my dick" and a giant h-scroll-breaking picture of the c-word written in lights posted for no reason other than to antagonize someone who was offended, then you should fit right in at those other places.

[Tortilla]

Whoa, Rollory had a class one meltdown? I always wondered if that guy was that angry or if that was just an affectation. I guess he was that angry.

Too bad he didn't meltdown in a thread where we could all see it. It's not that I like watching trainwrecks, it's that I love the meltdown thread dramatic readings.

[quatoria]

I didn't get the impression that Angie was equating the two images, Tom. I thought she was genuinely saying she'd stop posting images with profanity in the text, if that's the new forum rule. Personally, I hope that isn't the new forum rule, as I would miss the blowjob shark - but it's clear that blowjob shark is in nowhere near the same league as a giant tapir. Did I say 'blowjob shark' enough times? I can rewrite this post to work it in a few more times.

-Tom

[MattKeil]

why would a shark want someone to suck his dick

Because being a shark is so awesome, anyone who isn't a shark can just suck his dick for being so much less awesome than him.

At least, that's my interpretation.

[Angie Gallant]

I never understood him (why would a shark want someone to suck his dick?)

No opposable thumbs.

[RickH]

I thought it was because inter-species blowjobs were pretty much the only shark option. And they sound like such a great idea...

Oh, hush, you!




Don't listen to this dumb little tapir, Lorini. Silly little things are only good for eating or the occasional surprise poke. Oh, it gets so worked up when you do that!


Next time Tom, might I suggest chukars? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chukar) I mean nobody cares about chukars and the word sounds nasty already anyway. Watch:


STROKER, YOU BIG DUMB CHUKARHEAD!
