soapboxing

[Ming Yue]

Lately, it seems like almost every thread degraes into personal, overly defensive verbal tennis matches. It's getting to be a drag. Don't get me wrong, I'm guilty too. It's been nearly impossible not to participate.




1. Read the thread before you reply. At least try to read it.

2. If you understand the intent of someone's post but the grammar or structure is bad, just let it go.

3. If you post some remarkable claim, of course people are going to want proof or may question you further. Try not to be so surprised.

4. Don't just retype or rephrase something someone has already said. If you can't offer any fresh insight, that's ok, you're still a good person.

5. If you're going to hijack a thread, hijack it with style.

6. Don't type like you talk. Casual conversational english doesn't work on an international forum. I'm not a hopeless poindexter in real life, I just type formally so my posts are clear.

7. This forum is full of happily caustic, jaded individuals who all happen to have a variety of martial knowledge and personal experience, interesting lives and unique perspectives. Everyone who posts here knows something you don't, martially or otherwise. Ok. Almost everyone.






did I forget anything?

oh yea.

8. Don't start a useless thread *****ing about other people's threads.

:cool:

This kind of thread works better if you post a pic of yourself in a cheerleader outfit first.

[Ming Yue]

Yes. With a crooked finger and "no no" face.
:eek:

[MasterKiller]

And pigtails.

[Ming Yue]

what about those little ruffly ankle socks? I probably have some of those around somewhere...

[MasterKiller]

Well, now that you mention it...if it wouldn't be too much trouble, that is.

[Serpent]

Could you make it an animated gif? Maybe, like, 30 seconds or so.

[Vash]

Fug that.

Soap was mentioned, as was fisticuffs, therefore I demand bubble bath rasslin'!

[IronFist]

Poop and pee!

That pic was for my eyes only.

No, you're thinking of the pic of MasterKiller dressed as a cheerleader. That's most definitely for your eyes only. We're wanting the pic of Ming Yue.

[rubthebuddha]

i guess serpie is missing out on what moderator permissions allow you to learn. here's a sample:

masterkiller + cheerleader outfit = ming yue

i love priveleges. :D

[rubthebuddha]

other stuff you learn:

rubthebuddha + 30 more pounds of muscle + a really good tan = sevenstar

jellystone duo - booboo = oso

richard simmons + tolerable haircut = toby

meat shake = macaulay culkin

and so on ...

[rubthebuddha]

:o i was hoping no one would notice the difference. :(

FD -- is that supposed to explain the sunglasses?:confused:

[Serpent]

No, that explains why he always travels by broom.

[Ming Yue]

LOL


ok but now I'm seeing everyone in cheerleader outfits. Fatherdog has black socks on and sevenstar's skirt is too short.

[cerebus]

BLEAH! You just HAD to put THAT visual in our heads didn't you? That's just evil MY! :mad:

Dam mit Sevenstar! Get a longer skirt and cover that stuff up!!!

[Ming Yue]

Well, he can jump, I'm sure, but say something smart? I doubt it...

;)

[MasterKiller]

Even in my miniskirt and pigtails, I still look tougher than Bush. (http://www.funnycelebpics.com/items/39.gif)

[Ming Yue]

oh look, he practiced for being on the sidelines in Vietnam.

[red5angel]

he said "lately", with 717 posts I'd expect you to know that's the order of the day, not just a phase.

[Ming Yue]

lately it seems more acute. maybe more chronic. worse.


now where'd I leave those pom poms?

No, but it explains the hair, round glasses, and the lightning bolt shaped scar on my forehead.

The sunglasses are just to conceal the fact that my eyes rotted out years ago. I navigate using the Force now.

[Ming Yue]

I did ask you to jump up and down, didn't I?

[cerebus]

Not 'til he puts on a longer skirt dam mit! I don't need him flashing his landing gear while I'm around! :eek:

[Kristoffer]

"MeatShake=macaulay culkin

I knew MeatShake would never recover from his role as the adopted child of a slightly liberal gay Jewish couple....thats when the drug use began....SNNNNNNIIIIIIFFFFFFF*cough*thassumguudshi zznittt....*

[Oso]

i don't know what you're referring to

this is baloo:

and he's even doing the bear posture from bagua

[rubthebuddha]

the same baloo (http://www.geocities.com/shawndogg1986/baloo.html) was also the main character in disney's later cartoon "tale spin."

you old ****. :D

[Oso]

never heard of Talespin.


but this fits


Baloo is a lazy overweight gray shaggy bear who just likes to take it easy and relax.

but they forgot about the pie bit.

Bears love pie.

[David Jamieson]

who doesn't like pie?

I like pie!

especially muff pies! sans la cheveux!

[Oso]

mmmmm, Muff Pie.

Muttley? That doesnt look like muttley. I thought muttley was the dog with the raspy laugh and that dastardly guy.
