If only Hitler had a vagina, then he'd be off moderating a neo-Nazi website somewhere instead of gradually turning into the amoral know-nothing version of Geir Hongro.

I don't get your american idol jokes [/tuomas]

Whatever truth they might hold (which is arguable - were Debs and Goldman and Proudhon and Joe Hill and Woody Guthrie and MLK 'predisposed to authoritarianism'?) is obscured by the image of a comfortable middle-class white person patting him or herself on the back.

Images you make up in your head do tend to obscure things, that's true.

He showed me his air force wings, and gave me his P.D. card...and moreover answered many questions I fired at him about his career in the minutest detail. Plus, there was something about the dude I could sense before he'd opened his mouth, the feeling that this guy had truly lived.

Look, I'm tellin' ya, his voice was bona fide New York, and his knowledge phenomenal. He didn't try to convince me to do anything.

show me where

Bad videos (with cats, or shooting in negative) have sort of become an 4nimal Collective tradition. Apparently that also extends to solo projects. The first video from Panda Be4r's excellent Pers0n Pitch, co-directed by 3xc3pt3r's J3ff Ryan, falls in line: colors swirl like gasoline on water, a cat's face pops in and out, and a long-haired dude (Panda B3ar himself?) takes a shower, drinks beer, and bros out with his shirt off. We estimate that 70% of the video budget went to the six-pack.

cats, crappy graphics, lix

nothin wrong with gasoline on water swirlies.. dere classicks.

we did it all with water, whisky and cabbage

The virginity one? At least there were only two people in the room, even if their was vomit and fingers-in-bums. Homoerotic group masturbation didn't happen until much later.

there's something truly hilarious about the second of those rugby photos, and I think it may have something to do with the lady on the right.

poor lj, even the psychotic pwn him

Hahaha I read that and lolled. Pwnz0r3d by marissa!

That marissa thread generally =

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b379/Vietgrove/barthelmess.jpg

marissa thread locked ;_;

it's a shame it was locked; I was planning upon using the killer 'not interesting' line right back on one of her many interminable and unfathomable Joachim rants.

that would have shut her up, no doubt.

WHAT HAPPENS TO A ZING DEFERRED?
does it dry up like raisinsssssssss???

It wouldn't have worked, Louis. I don't think she's a real person at all, I think she's a chatbot designed by a sadistic maniac.

I'm not so sure; how would she have picked up on forksclovetofu's claim that he was Joachim if she was just a bot?

I reckon it's Blount.

Am I the only person who believes Marissa is a real person? You never her.

I don't have an opinion either way, but I actually would be kind of disturbed if she was real.

Marissa is REAL, believe it. I have heard the voice messages and all their rambling pathos.

i want to believe in Marissa

man, someone needs to reup the marissa voicemails

I had them, but they were lost in the great '06 hard drive crash :( :(

I'm pretty sure some of the old Aja/Dante crew (Dom, forks) would have them??

if we all clap our hands and say we believe, maybe the thread will be unlocked?
