"shockah" is bad enough, "non-shockah" constructions should be an instant 5-day ban

in-between non-zing posts edited out:

guilty lolz b/c I disagree with Dom on this thread mostly:

also why do nearly all student newspaper writers write in what feels like the same voice? there's certain syntax and word choices that only student newspapers ever seem to have.

paul please, please tell me you don't actually care about the answer to this

Hoos zing is quality. what we hate about others is what we hate about ourselves lol

Mets games always started at 8:05 when I was a kid. And were usually over by 10:30.

But I thought the Mets didn't come into existance until 1962!

rofl

hahaha

my arteries are nowhere as clogged as David R's, just sayin'

now make it funny

Nice to see that Laurel's given me another reason to write her off entirely.

where dude where

what are you talking about?

For posting Dan's zing of me on this thread.

my arteries are nowhere as clogged as David R's, just sayin'

Or: you could just say "LOL @ fat aspie Red Sox bandwagoneer"

and make that funny

I mean, it wasn't an especially good zing, because it kind of came out of nowhere (Dan has never said anything that harsh to me, even in person) and wasn't really accurate (unless mentioning to your friends that you wrote something that you thought they might be interested in = self-promotion), but it looks like she was all too eager to support it.

u mad

wow wow wow

i mean everything

UH? someone please break this beef down for me, i am a little slow today

is jaymc kidding or not?

someone got angry for someone posting a zing somebody else made on a thread where people post zings other people make

xpost

ok but i have looked and do not see the zing in question?

dude she totally explained the goofy reason behind reposting it and jaymc is all like crying in his oatmeal about it, plz plz plz be kidding dude otherwise i think you should be banned from ilx entirely and forced to only communicate via emo.

It's lost in the fold, Elmo. Unhide posts.

ok i see it now but hell 2 WEEKS AGO

NO ONE CAN ACTUALLY HAVE A BEEF ABOUT THE ONLY ONES, IT'S THE UNWRITTEN RULE OF THE WEST, GUYS

hey guys what's going on

laurel rules

i was gonna post a zing but this is funnier

that's the law, that's the law, it's the whole of the law

jaymc the zing sees no colors, knows no boundaries, accepts no distinctions. we are all potential givers and receivers of the zing. who among us has not been zinged? you cannot control the zing so much as channel it or suffer through it.

in summary, chill the fuck out.

zing buddhism

kudos

Look, the zing itself bothered me because it was from someone I consider a good friend of mine and a decent human being and I wasn't sure why he felt the way he did, and I've still not gotten a satisfactory answer from him. At the time, most people on the Chicago thread were like, "dude, Dan, wtf?" -- the consensus was that he had definitely crossed a line.

So it sucks to see that Laurel thought that the zing was casually funny enough to repost on the Noise Board -- but not entirely surprising, given that she has a tendency to interpret my (fairly innocuous) words and behavior in a way that has resulted in cruel, judgmental comments (cf. the Chicago thread yesterday and in a private e-mail dated October 24, 2006).

That's some .xls!

and in a private e-mail dated October 24, 2006

C'mon dude. Lighten up. People say stupid shit in emails all the time.

laurel cruels

Dude totally got this:

(is he joking????)

who hates on laurel?

seriously jaymc, despite the occasional database joke i actually like you okay but this is one of those "hating on peanuts"/"i think burritos are vile" things that makes me write off a human entirely.

who hates on burritos?
