The Locking of the Avril Thread

I don't know, I'm just sore 'cause I felt like that Calum thread was almost harmless fun, he was taking his ribbing fairly well (except for his predictable "oh my mood is dark now that the question of vivisection has been raised) (note to Calum: I'm vegetarian and dig deep into my pockets when it's time to fight animal cruelty, so don't assume that I don't care, 'cause I do, it's just that your manner makes people wish ill on animals, which is counterproductive) and it was almost healthy, y'know - I dunno, it seemed pretty random. I know that mods are allowed to random and that's cool. It's just that that thread seemed like a fair bit of fun.

Aw, just teasin', sir. :-)

It's just that that thread seemed like a fair bit of fun.

In part this is why Dan and Tombot will be hashing out the standards more thoroughly here soon, partially so that way there's flexibility to deal with situations like this while at the same time making it clear what the basics are for posters and mods alike. However, in this case Andrew chose to lock it -- not something he does very often -- and as he is the machine maintainer and Server God both I defer to his judgment. If anything I would have locked it after the first post.

I wouldn't even have bothered reading that C-Man thread, except that I saw this thread so of course I then HAD to read the other one. Seemed OK to me. J0hn I think you're dead wrong about Avril - she's cute!

FUCK YOU Darn1elle -- Dan and I have dibs on that.

Well, obviously, every new-country person is sub-Shania because Shania is a goddess. Avril is cute.

RJG Andrew is not a dickhead, can we not name-call pls

QED I am kinda slow

I idly note that it is his strategy to seem like this at times.

COUSIN LARRY!!!!!!!

right the H.M.S. Avril Thread is like a luxury liner only Captain Waddell is insane and is steering it toward a terrible vortex which will transport everybody to a Stone Roses concert and everybody on board is, like, me, an' shit, and so we all really hate the Stone Roses except for "Fool's Gold" which is obviously genius, but we know from the closed-circuit that they already done played that one and sure an' nobody wants to hear anything else by those guys so we're all storming the captain's cabin, and we can hear the second-tier britpop bands blaring through his boombox and it's makin' us crazy, but somehow we get in, but the shit-waves from the bad music cause the gears to gum shut and now we're gonna see the Stone Roses whether we like it or not, omg The Locking of the Avril Thread coming this summer to a wall in a hangar someplace during an acidhouse rave near you

But then again, I am a cad
For I, too, have not called my dad.

I'm sure you are all erudite
And can the play in question cite?

It's all here! omgwtf xpost even the crazy html crap of style/substance thread

(xpost)

does that count?

The old Jew did this, made a new snuffbox, and filled it with tobacco. Then he went to the House of Study and offered everyone a pinch. They snuffed and snuffed, and everyone who snuffed it cried: ‘Oh, what wonderful tobacco! It must be because of the box. Oh, what a wonderful box! Wherever did you get it?' So the old man told them about the good sacred goat. And then one after the other they went out on the street and looked for the sacred goat.

The sacred goat was pacing the earth and the tips of his black horns touched the stars. One after another the people went up to him and begged permission to cut off a bit of his horns. Time after time the sacred goat leaned down to grant the request. Box after box was made and filled with tobacco. The fame of the boxes spread far and wide. At every step he took, the sacred goat met someone who asked for a piece of his horns.

Now the sacred goat still paces the earth – but he has no horns.

OTM. I'm just sittin' back with popcorn, enjoying the show.

(Sorry about that lame-ass rhyme,
I have neither the creativity nor time
To conjure up something worthwhile
But at least it's more fun than turning dials!)

Let me repeat, J0hn, I do think it's relevant;
All binaries compel us to privilege one element.
You say you weren't privileging 'roots' above 'becoming'
Then why did you say 'roots' without 'becoming' was 'just' something?

You wanted to have your cake and eat it too;
Eating without having wasn't good enough for you?

J0hn, your position here is absurd
He who doesn't use binaries doesn't use words!

The difference between our positions is, dontchaknow
Mine is pragmatic, yours braggadocio

I reject binaries after I've ridden 'em
You use them daily, but then -- whoops -- you've hidden 'em!

the picture of gareth i wish i had,
here's the next best thing instead

ken in new york as he pretends
to be gareth who would stand

on the road with pint in hand
with phone he can't comprehend

I only assert
that your "use then discard" claim

is hogwash:
which it is.

oughtn't reduce us
to models of partisanship

like your good
self.)

us from, namely, your inexplicable
defense of Vice and its open,

demonstrated, asked-and-answered
racism:

"I use them and discard them" makes me wonder
if it's cool with you

for a person to vote Bush
as long as she isn't registered Republican.)

The reason being, if I say
I discard my theories every day
Could this harden into another lie
More dogma with which to live life by?

Its seems through words it can't be settled
Can a theory grasp the nettle?

Kinda moot now, innit

I am looking for the original Avril thread. I can't even remember what it was about! ...Avril?

If you met Avril Lavigne at a party and she was well drunk would you lie to her about her music in the hope of copping a feel?

Snap! I never thought that one would be it.
