• Hello!

Mother Fuckers

I only just got this all downloaded and working a couple of weeks ago, and the bastards are pissing on my (and many others') strawberries!!

I don't want to have loads of shitty, emoticon laden (yahoo's are shite) chat programs on my computer if one prog can do it just as well. And in some cases better. Yahoo chat looks like it is aimed at 5 year olds (it probably is) so I don't want to use it. Anyway, what with IM and flickr and GNE, I'll have no room on my monitor for anything useful!

BASTARDS!

Cal? I hear there is a patch, but it only affects Pro. Is that true? I assume you have pro, how much is it?

the patch is available for non-pro too. it's patch 'i':
cerulean.cachenetworks.com/trillian-v0.7...

o wot a disappointment this thread is; i was hoping for some hitchhiker porn

there's still time, guys...

and girls too. girls should always feel free to post lots of nudey pics

of girls

This is constant with Trillian man, worry not, they circumvent/patch almost the instant anything is changed.

I just had a look at Miranda after many recommendations and I'd have to say it looks like fine stuff. Open source, free, covers all the biggies plus jabber, and you can put it on a floppy or thumbdrive with all your contacts and take it with you wherevers. Might start using it instead of Trillian.

Cool. Thanks Cal.

Salti: We've tried the 'getting girls to post naked pics' bit before. All it does is attract complete numbskulls to the site. It hasn't worked since the great, much vaunted Naked Pics thread that featured a naked arse competition between Suzie (no longer here after some sort of tiff, I know not why) and Sul (still here. At least while his liver holds out). Oh, and Nov showed her gash on here before, but that wasn't much to write home about :)

Always worth a shot, though!

ah tish, twas not a google scam, was a genyoowine plea from the very bottom of my groin for some genuine pr0ny shots of trillian from hitchhikers.

nov showed gash? ...

and you have to hand in your pedant badge and calm down on the anti-slapdash calumnies, m'man. or else be prepared to be accused of woeful double-standardness(es)(es). i cite thee... Jason's post... [dramatic chord] dum dum DUMMMMM!!!!

What (the fuck) are you on about?

Oh, and on the subject of showing gash, they used to keep posting a picture of Grim... up here in various comedy "one-can" poses.

That counts right? It is a picture of a cunt, after all?

;D

gash - oh what a delighful word
and you wonder why your not getting any

Yet you haven't objected to the use of the word 'cunt'?

Don't come here brandishing your fake classiness trying to pretend to be above it all!!

Charlatan!

my favourite anime is "konjiki no gash bell". 100% FACT

brock: first clause of jason' post --> you whinged not


thus: no more a pedant may you be.

failed, you have. yoda you now be must. ye-eessssss...

He's american. They have bad SPAG as standard. It's a factory fitted option along with geographical blinkers that obscure the rest of the world.

So keep off my pedant badge, fuckface!

It's American, not american.

Good job it's not SPGAC, huh?

=]

*whoooooooooosh*

You haven't noticed that I deliberately spell 'french', 'france', 'american' and 'america' with small letters on almost every occasion then? Ever since I have posted on here?

They are both insignificant and don't deserve a capital letter, nob-jockey.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuullshit.

Quite frankly.

Check the archive, cuntface, and see if I'm right...

fucking french is always in lower case, for example, no matter who types it.

No, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuullshit to them not deserving a capital letter - you can't just make up the rules of English to suit.

Although I suppose that you think you can =]

I can if I'm making a point. I do it as an insult to them. I bite my thumb at them.

I'm not saying it is 'correct' in the traditional sense to do it, I said that I always do it deliberately to signify a lack of importance.

Don't try and suggest that I am pretending to change the language just because you missed the joke, Grim...

I completely missed the joke, but it wasn't that funny now, was it?
Did anyone else spot it?

And, because Jeff says I'm pedantic when I'm arguing:
It's 'try to suggest'. If I 'try and suggest', I've succeeded. Fanny-butter.

Hang on:

I didn't - you did!
Christ, no wonder I keep being accused of changing the argument!

Errr *puts hand up* I got it. But then I seem to remember a conversation we had about insignificant things not deserving capital letters.

cal for instance - hehe :)

Looks like I missed that conversation, Sul.

However, I'm glad to see that Brock capitalises 'Grim...' (but I'm sure that will stop now I've pointed that out).

I don't know why cal likes his name in all lowercase. I guess it is just one of those things you don't question and just accept it.

Reminds me of a lesson I learned from my Geometry teacher. He is the only teacher that I had that ever said "Don't worry about why this is true, just accept it." I got a A++ in that class. Not only because I just accepted what was being taught, but also because I was trying to redeem myself for an incident that happened the previous year.

I was pushing a A/V cart down the hall (ok people, try to control your laughter) and I saw a kid sitting out in the hall and working on homework. The kid stopped me and asked me if I know Algebra and if I could help him. I said Ok, let me take a look and as soon as I did, the teacher came out into the hall and started yelling at me because the kid wasn't working on homework, he was working on a test!!

As luck would have it. My geometry teacher the next year was THAT teacher...

Uhg, one of these days I got to get "your" and "you're" straightened out..

*AHEM*



You don't even remember what you post 30 minutes earlier, you stupid fuck. The whole issue was that I was using the rules of the language to make an implication of lack of worth. I was fully aware of the usage of English at the time, but was making a statement with a subtlety obviously far beyond your comprehension.

And the only reason you get a capital letter is that you do actually have a significance. Namely that of bulk.


()*&(&(*&*(&&

Fucking bollocks. Can't spell, just woken up.

btw, thanks for your support, Sul.

:)

Just to be sure to be sure I wasn't siding with you, Baldboy, rather providing backup for your argument. I couldn’t possibly choose a side because I've no idea what the argument will end up twisting into.

Your stand was assumed well before that clarification. I was acknowledging your support mainly because of the personal inner fight that you would have had to have gone through, just to have said anything that agrees with me.

Bravo.

/claps

Eh, It wasn't that difficult. I'm a sheep not a shark.

i have to say - we've discussed non-capitalisation of 'french' etc., so brick is right. i think it was in the last couple of weeks. i'v enever seen anyone capitalise 'fucking french' on here

Yeah, ya one-can fuck!

Smoke on that chubby cock, bitch!

tone down the hostility, cuntface

FUCKING FRENCH!

Is it ok to shout it?

No! Fuck off Frohman. No-one likes you anymore!

Yeah, you tell him Sul!

I think Pete Griffin just settled the arguement with this stunning quote:

"That's no good Brian, homosexuals are very clean people, and they have been ever since they came to this country from france"

puts a whole new spin on "cheese eating"...

and "surrender monkeys" too, for that matter

Grim... is right about the whole 'try to suggest' 'try and suggest' thing btw.

englishplus.com/grammar/00000253.htm

Try And or Try To?

The expression try and followed by a verb is nonstandard.

Use try to instead.

Incorrect: Try and do it again.
Correct: Try to do it again.

HaHaaaaaaaaaa! =D Piss off =|

Shouldn't it be Knob-jockey?

No. That would imply that someone was riding an a door handle or portion of butter, rather than a rod of man fat, as the insult is meant to suggest.

Brock, you soooooooo only read what you like.

In your quoted post up there ^^, read it again, but put emphasis on the words 'I am pretending'.

Or, to put it another way, READ THE WHOLE FUCKING SENTENCE!

Completely missed that. Wierd.



Yeah, funny how he's ignored that (twice, now), huh? Probably because that requires actually knowing something about the English language rather than just looking on dictionary.com...

i'm afraid i can't see where all this anti-grim vitriol is coming from, and it's a "joke" that's gone from barely funny to irritating

i haven't seen any recent discussion re F/f french A/a american either

the whole mega-pedant when-it-suits thing is getting way over-used

and deciding that grim's changing the argument because someone else has decided to read things differently is neither fair nor interesting to read when it is harped on.

there's a not terribly fine line between abuse intended to amuse and simple lashing out.
any chance of giving it a bit of a rest, guy&gal?

But we like it!

:D

Anyway, who made you God?

As for the "Try and" debate, I haven't ignored it twice. First time you mentioned it I went off to do further research to try and get a definitive answer. So I've only actually ignored it once.

;p

Can I go now?

Run along, child. Be good in future, eh?

I need to go and buy Saltation a present or something.

If only eBeer existed...

Why would you need to buy him a beer? You're obviously already taking it up the arse from him...

;)

I may have just come up with the best idea for a website EVER.

or the worst.

"the whole mega-pedant when-it-suits thing is getting way over-used"

As is the "ooh look I can talk crap and add random things to sentences, look how cool I am, I'm as cool as the Doc" thing

Why's that?

(Although it would be handy if you'd tell me in this thread)

Funny how that wasn't a problem when the Doc did it, isn't it?
Fear the bullshit IAmCal Hierarchy.

There is a difference between the ramblings of a madman (or someone I like to think is a madman) and someone adding "randomness" to their posts to make themselves more interesting. At least that's what the badgers tell me, quack quack.

Badgers?
You're fucking mad.
Just ask my camel, Dave.

"adding randomness to make self more interesting"

interesting preconceptions a couple of you seem to need to impose on other people.
sorry kids, you'll have to flail elsewhere: if i'm going to strive for attention or mass adulation i'm not going to do it in a forum/medium which is microscopically small relative to the wider world.

i post what i post for my own and potentially others' amusement. mood, energy, and velleity determines the style.

you may read into it whatever you like. but be aware it is not me but your own filters or internal bugbears adding any needy overtones you're detecting.

Who said I was talking about you Saltyboy?
Wooooh someone has issues. ;)

Yeah, Alfie was talking to Grims camel, Dave.

Bastard Dave.

Should that not be 'I need to go TO buy ....'?

Why?

hehehe!

Handbags at the ready!

Now there is an interesting one.

Because I'm older than you and I said so.

:)

sorry, sounded identical to recent previous accusations of the same (assumed) thing

hoist on me own petard here, eh? heh

"go AND buy" || "go TO buy"

no, he needed to piss, then he was going to buy some beer

/comes in late

I think go and buy is acceptable.

I also don't really care, but Jeff said I did =]

Okay, that's better. I wondered why Vic had come back for the dead.

If ya looking for an all in one solution, I found Miranda most useful. You can install plugins for practicly anything, it uses next to nothing in computer resources, it doesn't install anything in the registry and can fit on a floppy disk.

Enough being helpful, MAKE BROCK CRY AGAIN!

I don't want to annoy Brock no more. It's annoying

Ayway, with Miranda you can download almost any protocol for connecting to almost any chat network in the world. Also if you aren't like Brock, and are a 5 year old (I'm sure the grammers wrong here), you can download the smilies you need. But frankly, whats the point?

Anyway.
grammar.
what's.

Fuck, I soooo haven't missed you, you amoebic, irritating rash of a child.

Whoosh

What did you mean there?

Anyway, I offered a good peice of advice, and you've spat it out into my face. Why are you tormenting me so?

Because I think you're an irritating cock.

What have I done to irritate you?

yeah, calm down brock mate. just because he's not identical to you doesn't make him bad.
total homogeneity makes things pretty dull pretty quickly.

he's young, sure, but he's not scriptkiddy wanker material so rat's arse

to be fair to brock, when moitio first appeared he did seem to be a scriptkiddy

fair enough. but he's not being overtly obnoxious now.

hey, howcum iamcal.com's appearing/disappearing at the moment? you under DoS attack or having machinery issues?

I think that Moitio is a "peice".

local routing issue i imagine - load is low and i've had a session open to the server for the last 3 hours.

yeah, all my stuff has been fine

Maybe it's allergic to Australians.

(and I reserve the right to dislike anyone that I choose to. So there :p)

Who cares about being fair to Brock?

actually to be fair to Brock - he did give moitio a second chance a while ago, he might have even streched it to a third.

Victor Menendez, 12:01 04 July 2004 (cache10-mant.server.ntli.net) :
Who cares about being fair to Brock?

if it was a routing issue it was an odd one. tried all manner of local and yankee sites, all fine-- iamcal would time out

Heck, you kids all wish you were as cool as the Doc. Wait til he gets wind of this. He'll circumnavigate some bifocals in your honour, madam.

The Doc sucks, Lucy Record is where its at.

/me sticks the 'v's up at Vic.

They don't call me Lucy Record for nothing!

Hell, Lucy Record's spent more time on her back than Scott spent in the Antarctic.

Not wanting to be a pain in the arse bucket (although many of you already think I am), but what is a scriptkiddy?

/edit
Ok sorry found out. I never knew I came across as a weirdo scriptkiddy calling oneself "l337" at every possible moment. I don't even hack computers. The only bit of "hacking" I've done is fun website challanges on HTS.

I love urbandictionary.com

script kiddie
script kiddie clique
scriptkiddie

Asshat:

www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=...



I can see this being used (probably by Brock mostly) to descibe some of the people in here.

hahhhahaaha. ah but once upon a time Brock himself was an asshat, or perhaps Arsehat.

and iamcal doesn't have social rules as much as it has anti-social rules, for example:

The longest threads are reserved for arguments.

Arguments should degrade into name calling if at all possible.

Photoshopping pictures of people which make them run off and hang themselves will be considered funny, until someone confirms the hanging (and even then the picture might still be funny)

Arguments on vegetarianism, cars, fox-hunting and war should reappear every few months, in a new thread but with identical arguments from both sides, proving that neither side has learnt anything or moved their stand point even one inch.

People should pick on grim... as much as possible, regardless of whether his argument is right or wrong he will always be considered to be wrong.

Alfie/Chandler will storm off every few months only to return after everyone (especially himself and Cal) have calmed down a bit.

Newbies will get no benefit of the doubt or acceptance until they have been here a number of weeks. This is regardless of the contribution they make during their first tentative posts.

Spelling Nazis will jump on the smallest of mistakes, regardless of who posted and what time of day they posted. They will however make mistakes of their own and say that they couldn't be bothered.

im sure there are many others.

It is unacceptable to admit to not understanding something if the answer is on google or urbandictionary.

Anyone younger than Brock will be instantly disliked by him.

Most people older than Brock will also be disliked by him.

Sorry. Looking back into the history it appears I typed it into urbandictionary as "scriptkiddy".

now that is a good image.

that's the second agreeable post from moitio.

another rule:

If there are sunglasses to be worn then they should be worn indoors, or if that is not possible then only worn when it isn't sunny.

:D

Hahaha.

- All girls apart from LUCY RECORD may become approved by severe eyelash-batting.

- For the purposes of arguments, there are two different interpretations of 'Objective Truth'.

"Alfie's Rules" -- class!!!!
