y u sad? being small is cool! you fit in places. And there's plenty of guys who enjoy tiny romantic/sexual partners, you know who we can manhandle, balance on one hand, and carry in our shoulders without getting tired.

Sad because I'd probably actually lose if I got into a catfight with finlay :P

And I'm not tiny, exactly, just a bit too short and way too skinny. xD


EDIT: I would probably love being tiny, actually. I have a thing for being manhandled, as you put it. :P

I was wondering what's the deal with Eddy here, because I joined the ZBB after it was over, apparently. So I looked "eddy thread" up in the tiny search box at the bottom of the page, and this is what it said:
The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: eddy thread.

Well, yeah. We say thread a lot because it's the title of the section below 'forum' and above 'post'. If it's not counting every time Eddy himself posts, it may be counting everytime he's vocally addressed, which often occurs before or after screaming at him.
In every U.S. presidential election between 1976 and 2004, the Republican nominee for president or for vice president was either a Dole or a Bush.

I realized that, but theoretically, if you don't think about it like this, it's amusing.

Anyway, what happened with Serali and Eddy? (I know they were separate issues, but I'm curious about both).

Serali earned herself large amounts of negative karma by posting several PRETTY SCRIPTIES!!! which she tried to pass off as her own when they weren't. So she was banned, and returned some time later accompanied by hordes of boingies. Not everyone welcomed her back as a result.

As for Eddy - I'll just say that to explain about him in any depth is too great a task for mere mortals, and it shall have to be left unto the LORD.

Have you not seen what Eddy's like?

He's always been like that. For the last 8 years that he's posted on here. I think he got banned because it got too much for everyone at one point. And now he's got severe restrictions on what he's allowed to post here because he's quite stressful to deal with.

And to make things better Serali later revealed to be a he. And 13 years older than he had originally claimed (28 instead of 15, IIRC). So the whole controversy of claiming having created scripts when others had was just conscious trolling from the beginning.

Wait, really? I don't remember Serali revealed as male.

Yeah, pretty sure Serafín is either very misinformed or making shit up.
