No use in changing your TMP nick, Scurv. We know it's still you. ;-) |
| average joe | 23 Oct 2005 8:37 p.m. PST |
Procopius and Scurvy get away with saying stuff that any other person would take as a personal attack, yet the editor seems to turn a blind eye to it, so I would suggest that THEY have a 'special relationship' with the editor.
I do find it most interesting that someone that has been visiting this site for a little over a month (and a member of this site for all of thirteen days…) has come to such a quick opinion…

Oh leave the lad be. If people poke him enough he will run off and find lots of examples of lewd and crass behaviour that slid under the radar like a greased pig on a slip n slide. Then me n Pro will be in the pokey for a month with a rap sheet longer n' a turkomans beard. |
| Davoust | 23 Oct 2005 8:49 p.m. PST |
Wait a minute, DAD! You told me I was your favorite love child and now this thread!? Dad, say it isn't so!!! I have brothers named scurvy and pro? Oh the inhumanity!! Well it could be worst, they could be Aussies.:^))) Yes it has been a slow day, now off to see what else can be stirred up before the wife finds me. |
| Saginaw | 23 Oct 2005 9:02 p.m. PST |
Oh, and Scurv? Just for the record, you've never crossed me, bud. StarfuryXL5, I like your personal logo. Very…..symmetrical. :-) |
| Batman | 23 Oct 2005 9:19 p.m. PST |
No, I'm Batman… And I'm my Mother's favorite son. Sadly, it's by default, since I'm her only son… -sobs- |
| nevinsrip | 23 Oct 2005 9:29 p.m. PST |
Since no one will name them,let me profile one for you: Male
White
Late 20' to Mid 30's
Single
Likely facial hair or ponytail
Dresses in dark clothing
Under or unemployed
Socially inept
Lives home with parents
Basement or one room
Has posters of Metal bands hanging
Candles for light
Obsessive about some game or other
Neighbors think he's strange or weird
Siblings consider him a sponge
TMP reader Look in the mirror and see if you are a favorite son. |
| Mrs Pumblechook | 23 Oct 2005 9:41 p.m. PST |
Hmm, another assumption. I don't know anyone in Australia who has a basement. Though we do have sheds. And pawnshops. |
| Mrs Pumblechook | 23 Oct 2005 9:44 p.m. PST |
So then logically, that would mean that no one in Australia is a favourite son (though why he excludes daughters I don't know). So he musn't be talking 'bout Scurv and Pro then. |
| nevinsrip | 23 Oct 2005 9:50 p.m. PST |
Chick
Lives home with parents
Basement or one room. I would hope that Aussies can read better than you can. |
| average joe | 23 Oct 2005 10:03 p.m. PST |
Oh, come on, nevinsrip! Insulting ChickinChainmail juat because she has trouble understanding your blather? Step away from the PC, smell the roses and blow out the candle… |
| GreatScot72 | 23 Oct 2005 10:04 p.m. PST |
So that's what the mirror in your room (or basement) looks like, Nevinstrip! Was wondering how you got so much detail. |
| jimbeau | 23 Oct 2005 10:13 p.m. PST |
I am the walrus goo goo a joob. |
| Farstar | 23 Oct 2005 10:24 p.m. PST |
Maybe *he's* Batman: link To which the only replay is a webcomic: link link |
| mweaver | 23 Oct 2005 10:28 p.m. PST |
So now I'm confused – Sparticus is batman? And whose his favorite son? |
| Good Bye | 23 Oct 2005 11:03 p.m. PST |
This is entertaining. Basements are unhealthy. Us Aussies prefer to fight the local wildlife for possession of the shed. I am not Spartacus, and I am reasonably sure I am not Batman either. |
| Coffee Fiend | 23 Oct 2005 11:08 p.m. PST |
Have you ever seen Sparticus and Batman together? |
| GypsyComet | 23 Oct 2005 11:29 p.m. PST |
>>Maybe *he's* Batman: link<< If that link offers a commercial labeled "Parade Clown", I'd recommend not watching it unless you *like* your drink making painful exit out your nose… |
| Rattlehead | 23 Oct 2005 11:48 p.m. PST |

I'm confused….

This has all gotten too SILLY!! It must stop immediately, and the editor will be sacked. |
| adster | 24 Oct 2005 3:58 a.m. PST |
Where can I get one of those posters of a metal band being hanged? Oh, and I'm Brian and so's my wife… |
 Doms Decals  | 24 Oct 2005 4:54 a.m. PST |
What's with all the impersonators lately…? |
| Doc Perverticus | 24 Oct 2005 4:55 a.m. PST |
…… so what am I going to do with all theose Barticus and Spatman action figures that I have on back-order??? I oughta hang it up right now…….. |
| Ditto Tango 2 1 | 24 Oct 2005 5:03 a.m. PST |
C'mon Nevin, you're really letting this one spin way out of control. I know you're pi$$ed at being DHed and I think many of us feel that way when we're tossed into the clink in the middle of a heated argument with someone, but you're just making it worse for yourself. I don't recall you being nasty or an angry poster before this current event. Just do what I do sometimes when I feel I need (ala the Bruse Cockburn song) a "rocket launcher", walk away from it and step away for a few days. This'll fade and people will forget about it.  |
| Goldwyrm | 24 Oct 2005 5:12 a.m. PST |

Given the number of times Scurvious Maximus and the Pro-man have been hauled away in the dead of night, I think you will have a hard time making a case that they are "Favorite Sons" who have a license to rampage. We expect so little from the Australians. We hold them to lesser standards than the rest of us more civilized types. When the DH started, I asked Bill to set up a Police Blotter thingie, so we could track the recidivists, tally up their total days, times sentenced, etc. He saw no need for it, and such records are now largely in the realm of anecdote. Heck, I don't even remember how many times I've been in. Either 5 or 6. I forget.
Anyway, such a feature might refute the "favorite son" accusation. |
| Doms Decals | 24 Oct 2005 5:28 a.m. PST |
Come on, Glenn; be realistic…. ;-) |
| mweaver | 24 Oct 2005 5:44 a.m. PST |
I think a Spatman figure would be pretty nifty. |
| Doctor Bedlam | 24 Oct 2005 6:22 a.m. PST |
I haven't lived with my parents since 1982, so I must therefore conclude that I am not a favorite son, and must therefore be either Spartacus or Batman. I'll get back to you on that… |
 Editor in Chief Bill   | 24 Oct 2005 6:39 a.m. PST |
I do find it most interesting that someone that has been visiting this site for a little over a month (and a member of this site for all of thirteen days…) has come to such a quick opinion… I suspect that Red Menace is a certain member whose previous account was banned for misbehaviour… Since no one will name them, let me profile one for you: What's your point, nevinsrip? That I discriminate against people who don't "fit in"?  |

Male – Yes – last time I looked White – Yes – and not in a Wackko Jacko way Late 20' to Mid 30's – Yes – all of them – it changes daily Single – No – the missus says I am not allowed to pretend to be either anymore :-( Likely facial hair or ponytail – Yes as opposed to unlikely facial hair and pony tails – can't stand those! Dresses in dark clothing – only when I am out fighting crime with Robin Under or unemployed – Nope, but underpaid Socially inept – No of course not Im british, we shipped the social misfits off to the colonies years ago Lives home with parents – no, now live in what was mums house, since she died – but did live there before hand to help out, and because I cant afford a mortgage – sorry about that. Basement or one room – I do have my own room, but have full access to the rest of the house now I have been potty trained. Has posters of Metal bands hanging – nope – but I have posters of boybands and reality TV show 'stars' being brutally tortured. Candles for light – what else can they be used for? The mind boggles…. Obsessive about some game or other – well, I play LIFE(tm,copyright etc) everyday – but I do understand not everyone has a copy Neighbors think he's strange or weird – no, it's just haddock pasties that think that Siblings consider him a sponge – no, they call me an useless jack n danny and sponge off me TMP reader – no, I am just a bloody good psychic with amazing telekenisis power over the keyboard – what is this TMP thingy anyway?? well, there you go – am I a favourite son or not? Personally, I like to think I am not – I have been DH'd a few times. Bit worried there was no reflection in the mirror mind you. @John the OFM : We expect so little from the Australians. We hold them to lesser standards than the rest of us more civilized types. – yes, even more so than you Yanks ;-) (joke) |

On the dawghouse, I don't really mind it so much, its just the jackboots in the middle of the night and the torches in the face.

We hold them to lesser standards than the rest of us more civilized types.=== John, I really don't want to start a blue about this.

Male — Yep.
White — Guilty.
Late 20' to Mid 30's — 32, so yes.
Single — Nope. Married with offspring, no less.
Likely facial hair or ponytail — Absolutely not. I still wear my Army high-and-tight and shave to the skin every day.
Dresses in dark clothing — Only my $400 USD worsted-wool charcoal-grey business suits.
Under or unemployed — Nope. Chief training officer, chief diversity officer, labor negotiator, and employee-relations troubleshooter for a mid-sized municipal employer.
Socially inept — Yes, the other day I spilled my Chateau de Chasselet on the Queen Mother's knee. Such a ne'er-do-well, am I.
Lives home with parents — Not hardly. My wife and mother would kill each other.
Basement or one room — 3,000 square feet, including my own hobby room. Although I admit that that is in the basement.
Has posters of Metal bands hanging — Try pictures of my children and alma mater.
Candles for light — Wrong again. I have a bunch of those long-life "twisty" flourescents in my house.
Obsessive about some game or other — Well… yeah. Of course. We are *gamers* now, aren't we?
Neighbors think he's strange or weird — That's only because we don't watch TV. Almost a hanging offense in my neighborhood.
Siblings consider him a sponge — I have one sibling and she couldn't care less what I do.
TMP reader — Kind of a cheap shot, since we have to be one to be posting here, isn't it? Look in the mirror and see if you are a favorite son. Guess I'm not. Only your average, successful, well-groomed, well-adjusted, intelligent gamer — like 95% of the people here on TMP. |

And that was not a throw-away insult. PTSD is a big problem for a lot of people. One other thing it could be, is some sort of growth in the brain. I worked with a foreman at Mount Isa Mines called Crawford who started off alright but over the years became so much of a prick that his workers put a big sign up in the dunnies "It's Been a Crawford of a Day" meaning a crap day. He later died of a cancerous growth in the brain. As much as I think Mr Crime-fighter is a drongo, I wouldn't like to see him ill. Cheers, Pro… |
