Your pointless thoughts & observations

on the contrary, once i had someone over and had to hide the ichi the killer manga i was reading

lel I was talking to my wife about this trend of literary peacocking last night and a)it's fookin' weird to think about WATMM invading my IRL life and b)she said that it reminded her of The Confessions of Felix Krull. Which I've never read, but the short version I gleaned from our talk is that the character is portrayed as sort of the anti-Aesthete in the sense that he kind faffs about, living off the credit earned from his familial wealth which has now been squandered, never actually investing in anything of culture but trying to surround himself with the trappings of such things because he thinks it makes him cultured. Which is fascinating 'cause it certainly sounds like hipsters to me. Guess there really is nothing new under the sun. 

Also, just realized the above TOTALLY fits the topic because it involves thoughts, observations and is also pretty pointless. 

Sorry dude, I'd award you a perfect score except you actually made a good point at the end about there being nothing new under the sun!

There's no "d" in refrigerator, but then u look at its universal contraction (fridge), and whoomp, there it is.  Frige just wouldn't cut it I guess.

i raised something that i'd read on WATMM once and her response was something like 'thats the random people on the internet with the weird pictures?'. 

lol I tried to kind of explain what exactly WATMM was like to her but then I gave up. Next time she asks I'll tell her that. 

Just ate more at one evening than I'd normally eat in a week, I think I'm not even exaggerating. Asian all you can eat restaurants are the very pinnacle of cultural evolution

we used to watch the funny pictures thread together. that was before memes took over.

Things I've noticed following a 7.0-7.2 magnitude earthquake:

- It's damn near impossible to reach someone on your phone within the first hour after the main tremor
- Gas/petrol/fuel pumps are busier than usual, as are grocery stores/supermarkets
- Many local restaurants and businesses are closed, and people are especially bitchy if it's liquor stores
- Pets remain scared shitless for hours
- Phone texts are frequent, as are FB notifications
- Aftershocks get gradually weaker with each hit (thankfully)
- In the same city that saw a 9.4 magnitude earthquake back in 1964, most infrastructure is adapted for this very scenario, and it is apparent even today.

Shit, man. We were only about 7 miles south of the epicenter. But considering you're about 360 miles north and still felt it, it's just a humble reminder that plate tectonics don't give a fuk about us little sausages skittering around topside.

I've never read this thread before but decided to say I'm 50/50 on getting banned from twoism. Part of me thinks it's a right brilliant drunken laddish success, hahahah! Another part thinks I might, because of my outburst, regret it because it is the closest place I'll get to rub shoulders with them The Brothers. And I do respect The Brothers immensely.

Maybe some of you have read the mathematical conspiracist dork who posts there, and trust me I have nothing against mathematical conspiracist dorks, all are welcome. But what's not welcome is attention seekers. I hate attention seekers. So this guy is going on and on. And on. Slightly wearing away his welcome. Then he posts something saying he's not just into maths he's also been walking in the woods this weekend, he's also drank a few 'craft' beers and eaten some 'organic' ice cream. Blah blah fucking blah.

Instantly the red mist explodes like an atom bomb. I've at this point had enough of this attention seeking cunt. So I post something right snarky. So now I find I can't log in.

Me personally if I was a moderator (pretty obvious which one who banned me, I think he's called MexiNannyStateCola) I'd PM me and give me a verbal warning and say cut it out mate or your out. Nah nothing. Just silently and cowardly in my opinion pull the plug.

I'm not into sucking The Brothers Cock, but I'm well into their music. Seeing as we're on the subject of sucking cocks, the Mod and The Attention Seeking Mathematical Dork can suck Beewolf's Cock.

God that pointless thought and observation makes me feel real good.

lol

There was one poster who was made uncomfortable by the Scanners exploding head gif. I thought... WTF you fucking child it's a gif from a movie and it is fiction. So I posted it a bunch more and then a mod changed it all to pictures of a Care Bear. A bunch of other posters chimed in to say that they were shocked and appalled by what they had witnessed on the forum, that I could be so insensitive. The overall Bubble Boy vibe of that forum even made me wonder about BoC, like why does their music attract such weenies? I think there is some Bronie overlap on that forum, sad to say.  

Might change my username here to 'Trombone Joe'

i will support you in all your endeavours

Jesus that felt good writing that, usually when I write something while steaming from 7 pints of fairly strong beer I wake up in the morning and think why oh why Steve did you post that on watmm.  Which is all part of the fun at the time I guess. Anyway enough attention seeking from me. You lads have a good day *tips hat*

*tips hat*

I don't know about everywhere else in the world, but I swear I've never seen mead sold in a single liquor store in Canada.  Good mead is great, it's been around for like 10,000 years, and it's super simple to make.  How is not readily available in every liquor store?  What's the hold up, microbreweries - get on it!

Yeah you can get mead here, mainly in places that stock a large and diverse collection of poncey craft beers

*tips hat*

being morbidly obese would be so comfortable
