At first, I thought Randall Munroe's* idea of starting a limerick database in the same vein as bash.org was a bit "meh", but, once again, it turns out that the man is a genius:

I'm just an asshole in general but I don't think that's language related

Viper, you weren't even out of line with your first comment, you didn't seem overwhelmingly harsh or anything. The jackass simply took it out of context like assholes on the Internet are wont to do.

At this point, just go on a massive sarcasm-filled rant because it's amusing anyway. I can help in that regard.

There's plenty of room in the right one."

Maybe it's just me though and I was the one being rude...

Viper, I dunno why you're so upset... I mean, he called you "Jesus". I know a lot of people that would take that as a decent compliment.

IRC is where it's at

^ I'm so glad the forum regulars are slowly infiltrating the IRC channel. I got sick of it being some elitist cool kids hangout.

Also, I never understood how some IRC regulars aren't even members on the boards. How else do you find out about FG's IRC channel?

Blind_Io · March 1st, 2008, 12:59 AM

Trust me, most of them are not that cool.

Of course what you forget about is the secret channels that require a secret handshake and wink to get into

Blind_Io · March 1st, 2008, 1:08 AM

I think for to get into #AmberRoom you have to felate all the more senior users of IRC.

"infiltrating"

You must have said something stupid.

Shawn · March 1st, 2008, 1:54 AM

I've seen that before, but I figured most people would first check out the boards then maybe the chatroom. Seems like the natural progression to me.

This is epic. It's a compilation of threads from a forum about some douche who is a security guard but "is the Sergeant of a three-man Rapid Tactical Force at one of America’s largest indoor retail shopping areas." He feels he needs an arsenal to be a security guard for a mall.

One gem of a response to his stupidity

Quote:

‘If Plan A is to take multiple .338 shots to the back, you really need to come up with a Plan B.”

He feels he needs all this (I know jack diddly about guns so go easy on me) just to walk around a fucking mall all day.

Quote:

I am writing a proposal to replace our current Mossberg/Smith armament with the following:

* 3) MP5K-PDW with red-dot sights;
* 2) G36 rifles using SS109 rounds;
* 3) Glock practical tacticles in .357 Sig
* 1) PSG-1 using Fed Gold Medal .308
* 1) Starlight scope for the PSG-1 in case we lose power in the building.
* 3) Glock 27 backup guns
* 3) Kahr P-9 holdouts

I think this would make us capable of facing nearly any situation. I’ll let you know what the management says!!!

It's a lot to read, but it's worth it if you're bored (or not).

No, it's not an issue of native language. English is a second language for me as well, yet I am quite well mannered.
But rather, I submit this is the fault of parents who have not instilled into their children the values of politeness and good manners.

Yeah, but you see, after that he took the Lord's name in vain.

So... I'm a home owner now.

Well, I will be once I have the downpayment and mortgage approval. It's a celebration, enjoy yo' self bitches. Alcoholic bevvies for all on me.
