Come off it. Zomp's quote was very funny, as well as dead accurate.
[quote]Let us not look too closely at ourselves to see whether or not we have, in our untime, been successful. Turn your face from yourself; it is too late for that. I turn my face from you and I; let us look instead at how the ocean purrs.[/quote]
Have you actually read the rest of this thread?

For playing mariachi music? For making fettucine alfredo? For using an alley cat to paint the walls?finlay wrote:Not the place...
That said, Nuntarin's on the mark: I thought it was a funny quote that deserved to be preserved well after the Ephemeral thread that it appeared in is long gone and those it was originally directed at have faded into half-remembered bogeymen to be invoked when new troublemakers arise.
In other words: Try not to be so downtimer.
I just love the wording.Dudicon wrote:People, he's right. I mean look at us. People disagreeing with each other! Arguing even! I mean, good christ, we even have a few people who don't like each other! This is not the Garden of Eden the internet is meant to be; what hellish dystopia have we wrought in our blindness? It's time for all the truly noble people like schwatever to leave, that their pure intentions and unsullied love for all mankind be not tinged by the stink of our evil.

I thought you were either a 12 year old, or a really young 14-15 year old at first, but damn if I didn't laugh when I saw mention of you being 22.

Actually, that IS what our french textbooks said, back in school. Admittedly, this is England.

One thing I find odd about the culture of this board is the liberalness of sigquoting. In other Internet forums that I know, it is considered a major faux pas and a transgression of etiquette to quote someone in your sig without their permission (unless it's from a published book or something, of course).Sano's sig wrote:zompist wrote:Serali, this is a museum thread; please don't add trivial posts.
Obviously not the case here, but I don't think I'll ever really get used to that. I definitely won't get used to sigs that taunt or criticise fellow board members in any way whatsoever (if I were in Zomp's position I would strictly prohibit them).
