She is quite beautiful, despite being a ringer for Alf. Odd.

Nah, when you have Americans making fun of anything, then it is a fucking compliment.

What's your longest absence from the org and what makes you come back?

Have you ever done an, "I'm leaving," thread?

You do!

has billy turned into google or something?

here is my question...

i want to know what love is

sj1600 said:

1) I've not really left in six years, to be honest. I've not posted for months at a time for various reasons I'm sure lots of others feel. I know I'm not missed by the majority! I suppose it's like a orangutag harem where the alphas sometimes feel the wanderlust, the itch to bugger off for months to recharge their batteries, travel from town to town, solve strangers' family and work problems, the odd murder, then move on in a self-satisfied, pious manner. back to square one, of course, but better equpiied for the battle ahead. Lots of folk here are running on empty. they could with with fucking off for a wee while.
During those periods, I only posted once or twice every few months. Usually comedy gold, or deep philosophy. Quality/quantity and all that. just like you do, sj1600. The mods could tell everyone when we've logged on, all our behaviour, which threads we've clicked on, for how long etc. They know who's completely fucking bongo, who's obsessed with whom. They can tell lots of things some would be surprised at - including whether you've ever tried to get into someone else's account and what password you used. That's why it's absolutely terrifying a certain person here is a mod. Not you Carrie, but I do know how you get your kicks.

2)Absolutely not. Sickening cries of attention from strangers on the internet. unless it's Natisse who genuinely is lovely and deeply sensitive.

do you believe in creationism, or the big bang..unism?

do you have a favorite beer/ale/lager/bitters?...

do you have a favorite brand of vodka/scotch/whiskey?

there are some very pretty women on the org, arent there.

Can we all come and visit you?

Or...
How you sent certain tapes and videos to Jim Mallon with the intention of spreading your addiction and obsession. It worked and here I am - it's you fault I'm here, Ian. You're the reason you're reading this. That's how fucking weird life is.

BlackAdder7 said:

1) I quite like Robert Anton Wilson's personal philosophy of unabsolutism. He wanted to take out all the absolutes of one of our species' main methods of communication, in this case language. He loathed absolutes such as 'is', 'was', 'will', etc. You get the idea. He believed any absolute, once uttered or even thought, built up unbreakable walls in the brain - kind oflike a calcification of the thought processes. Now, when you really look at what he was saying, it's bullshit and completely unworkable in our reality - kind of like communism - but that doesn't stop it being a beautiful concept. Like communism. I guess that answers the question.

2)Nastro Assuro is probably my favourite lager, but there was one I tasted in San Francisco I'll always be chasing. I got too drunk to remember the name, ugh. Think it was local, though. A pilot I met in the Fisherman's Wharf bar recommended it. Yes, he was a real pilot. I know it was San Fran, but he wasn't dressed like that for fun.

3)I don't really drink spirits anymore. I'm a bit of a reformed character, these days. Nowhere near as exciting as I used to think I was but undoubtedly wasn't. Infact, I'd fucking ban spirits. They've caused more harm than nuclear weapons ever will, but I don't see anyone shitting themselves over a bottle of Bailieys. Weird world.

4)It's not why I'm here.

5)Anytime! I love playing host, getting people drunk and talking shite. Any noise to silence the inner scream, man.

Number23 said:

fucking a brilliant Billy. fucking a brilliant

Number23 said:

you should see me shit after i've drunk a bottle of bailieys. it's like a runnier version of 2 girls 1 cup. if only i was a hot chick i would be an internet phenomenon

Who's been the most influential person to you?

What's the worst lie you ever told?

What's your poison?

Did I buy you a beer? If not, why not?

JDInteractive said:

1) My dad, like most guys, I'm guessing. The older I get, the more I remind myself of him. Facial expressions I catch myself pulling at TV commercials, odd grunts when standing up from the couch, denial in the face of all evidence to the contuary, wilfully obtuse. The thought would have been ludicrous to me when I was 16. I see why people say the fruit nevers falls far from the tree. Loads of folk really, though. I read an outrageous amount of books when I was young.

2)Honestly can't think of one. I remember in primary school when Murray MacDougall and I snuck into the coat room and, for reasons lost to time, decided to snap every coat and jacket in the place off its hagner. By this i mean jump on and hang from every one until the bit of material holding it onto the hook snapped. Many times, it was the hook that gave way first. we must have snapped about 200 jackets in that five minute frenzy.
We were delerious with nervous excitement, almost frothing at the mouth as we stood among all these jackets and coats and blazers lying on the floor, it looked amazing, like KLF-style art terrorism or something. We fucked off very quickly and 30 minutes later the whole fucking school were talking about it. Everybody's jacket - I was canny enough to snap my own too, y'see. Later that day, the headteacher came into our class and said that whoever did it WOULD be caught and added she already knew who it was. If they owned up now, they would'nt get into as much trouble.
I stayed silent, my thumping, hurting heart surely audible to everyone in the room. Then she left - no doubt to bullshit the other classes with her mindgames. hit, that's not even a lie. Sorry, JD. And sorry, all my classmates. Yes, it was me.

3)Booze and fags, but nowhere near the amounts I used to take. I hardly ever smoke now. Good weed too, but I haven't smoked that in years either. all the other stuff too I used to enjoy, I just don't feel the impulse anymore. I guess the answer to your question is a good book.

4)I think you did buy me a beer. There were three balloons tied to my left arm at the time. It was meant as a metaphor on something I've forgotten. I was a pretentious wee turd sometimes, then. I'm a really nice, stable, broken machine now who loves Marks & Spencer, Coronation Street and walking in circles with the other prisoners. How my teenage self would slit my useless fucking throat.

does the success of this thread surprise you?? why or why not...

roodboi said:

Well it must surprise you to a certain degree to ask the fucking question! Seriously, I don't think it's very successful. It's mostly been Dan keeping it going, which is really nice of him. There are people I know floating around who I thought I was friendly with, but they haven't asked me anything. I've been quite honest too, I've surprised myself.
I'm guessing it's got such a large number of views because of new folk who never knew me or others that loathed my personality getting an inverted kick from reaffirming their thoughts.
Either that or a lot of orgers really liked that outrageously shitty film.

Number23 said:

I'm not surprised at all...

ok, maybe just a lil'

Number23 said:

*snort* you flatter me, thank you for that . As we both know my posts aren't comedy gold. I only post on the odd occassion as I'm gripped by the knowledge that nothing I say really makes any difference. Only things of huge importance, like a Gavin and Stacey thread, lure me into posting these days.

Do you miss me? Who do you miss communicating with?

When are you going to be in the States again?

Why are you ignoring me?

1. What are the 3 worst threads on this forum right now? If you haven't actually clicked them, that's o.k. I'll take speculation.


2. How do you handle conflict?


3. What is your view of the English?

GetAwayFromMe said:

1) I miss my toenails when I rip them off, Karla. I'm a sentimental, nostalgic, backward-looking husk of hazy fluff, filled with false memories and might-have-beens. I reshape everyone and everything to suit my ego, so you probably saved my life, at one point, in my head.
Of the org, I miss Jana the most. Nero was fantastic too. To hack into the org and change all her black marks into happy stamper faces. Brilliant. Loads of folk, though. I'm sure plenty of them have clicked on this and not posted. That brings me back to the hazy fluff. It doesn't hurt if you fall on something soft.

2)I have no idea, maybe never. I've experienced it, though. If you keep hitting your head off a wall eventually your fucking skull's going to crack open.

3)You never asked a question.

we clash ?

TY for your words

I spent hrs looking at and reading/learning about the Isle of sky

beautiful place !

Imago said:

1) against my better judgement, I won't include this one since you started it.
I would say:
If you care...gospel appreciation..williams bros...TODAY!!!
As of now (10.23) it has no views and no posts. 0 and 0. Even the author hasn't clicked on it! I've read the subject four times now and it still doesn;t make any sense to me. It's like four different sentences in an experiment. Or like Mick Jagger. Four limbs, each dancing to different songs. Mad as a snake of apples.

Missing Aksel and Anxiety...
I never took to aiberman, really. We had a bit blowout one day when I was a bit narky about him flashing his cash. We're polar opposites. Money is an embarrassment to me. I loathe it like cancer.

What are you buying yourself for Xmas? Didn't even click on this one. Very American, in many ways.


2) Due to the nature of my job, I get death threats on a daily basis, monstrous cunts busting into my office punching walls and screaming blue murder, calling me allsorts of crazy word juxtapositions. When they see my wanky haircut and youthful years in the boss' chair this infuriates them more. I just tell them the walls are bugged and I wouldn't advise saying or doing anything my company's lawyers would deem as threatening. I speak low. Like Prince says in Grafitti Bridge - when a man shouts you must learn to whisper.

3) I'm Scottish, we've been at war since conception. Saying that, I'm the least patriotic parasite on Earth. I really don't have an opinion. We're just as bad. England is really two countries itself, both in a perpetual state of cold war. I love Scousers, Geordies and Mancs. They're really honorary Scots, both in spirit and mind. They loathe Londoners as much as the Scots and Welsh do. The UK is very...complex. We slap about the French several times when they try to take over the world, and then when the Germans feel a bit totalarianist, we don't think twice about bouncing over the water to save them* as they're too busy watching existentialist movies and sneering at hamburgers. Cheese eating surrender monkeys, all.
*I do understand the geopolitcal circumstances and terms of the Versilles Treaty were slightly more complicated than my above flippant abbreviation of history.

that was my thread! I was hoping to draw Anxiety back out from org retirement.

This thread has been both heartwarming and gut-bustingly funny. I've needed the laughs and warmth after a pretty rough day. Thanks, Number23 and everyone else.

1. Do you believe the Universe is flat, open, or closed? How do you speculate it will end, if it will?


2. When is the last time you felt genuinedly embarrassed for somebody.


3. When is the last time you felt genuinely embarrassed for yourself?


4. You are obviously a Prince fan, or were at one time in your life. And yes I'm going to ask you about UTCM. Have you seen it? And describe the circumstances around that experience? What did you honestly expect from the film, and what did you think?


5. How do you approach love?

Look, yall. This is an incredibly productive and popular Q&A thread. That almost never happens. I believe this is a milestone.

Imago said:

1) I once, long ago, wrote a thing set during the Big Crunch, I guess you could say it was set a billion billion years in the future then back again. People were 'waking up' in their coffins and also in mid air, falling through the clouds to their doom, wondering what the sod their 20 seconds of existance were all about in wordless mindscream. I know. It sounds like a deeply gimmikey and completely unworkable scenario. However it was very character-based, like a Saul Bellow novel written backwords. You also had to start on the back page. And hold a mirror up to the words to read them. I'm lying.

2)Today, for the girl who posted her tits on the tits thread and had to take her tits off when her husband found out about the tits.

3)Everytime I type www.prince.org into a web browser.

4)It's like catching your dad having a wank. Over a picture of your gran. Deeply disturbing. It should be used to test kids for retardation.

1. How often do you think about death.


2. Do ever think the theory of evolution has a missing component--not a spiritual one, but just something that was factored into the equation?


3. Are Ipods good or bad for society?


4. Do you still smoke? Planning to quit?


5. Look out to the horizon from the room you are in. What do you see?
