Reread Rule 1, richey.

http://www.mountainx.com/content/forumrules.php

I hear ya..I thought this was a pretty funny original bit…lots of folks did..just a little levity..from a local forum poster…I think it has value..I might have taken it a little to far..Some of it was just responding to Buggs hate speech trying to get his profanity off the front page..

1. Think before you post: Seriously.

The lee way on this one is wide..I did think as seriously as I’m capable of..

We’re trying to spark interesting conversations about local topics here,

This is in the non local section

and the last thing we want is to flood the board with thoughtless content.

This is a very good piece of satire..that comments on our compulsion to condemn our celebs for their sexual behavior..

This includes the needless repeating of catchphrases, redundant posting of internet memes and posts with little original content.

I checked the onion and disclaimer and nobody has done a piece that is as humorous or original about this topic on the net.. that I can find..

Steve read the first post on this thread and tell me it isn’t a cut above most the posts on this forum..I might be way off base here..I might be full of it..and then again I might be a victim of a Bugg vendetta..

who are these ‘lots of folks’?

the voices in your head still only count as one, richey.

Everyone reread all of the rules, actually.

Saying it again for the page 3 crowd.

i read them every day before i log in.

Richey, please, who are these ‘lots of people’ you think enjoy your posts?

who are these ‘lots of folks’?

the voices in your head still only count as one, richey.

You just might be humor challenged…

I worked 7 years in a improv comedy club in southern CA..All the comedian want to be’s come there to make it….I have worked with some of the funniest folks you’ll ever see. .two shows a week.for seven years..plus touring all over the central coast ...you don’t last that long in the toughest market in the land with out bringing the funny regularly ( I’m very funny in person..I do look funny.)....the beauty of a crowd is you instantly know whether you were funny.. if they laugh you’re funny…the forum is different.

.Funny is a learned behavior..although people falling down seems to be universally funny..

I have made 1000s of people laugh..hard..I know funny..a bunch of boys trading inside internet jokes is funny to them..but to the folks at home maybe less so..I truly think the Letterman piece is not just chuckle funny it’s beer out your nose funny..

If you don’t think so..OK..you’re welcome to your opinion…we’ve got some funny guys on the forum..I’m one of them..I don’t need you to acknowledgment me to validate me..You seem hell bent on insulting me..I’ve tried to be congenial in my dealings with you..I respect your passion and dedication to the forum..ease up..play nice..have fun..I’ll try to draw with in the lines better..this is a big forum..there’s a place for us all to play..

No, really, I’m serious. On what do you base your statement that “Lots of people” find your incessant, repetitive, content-free posts funny? Do you go to bars at night and have people come up and tell you, Man “Richey”, i was having a bad day, and i logged into the xpress forums, and saw your post of gary buesy and boooooooy howdy did i laugh!”

Who are these ‘fans’ you think you are speaking to? really. Because the only ‘audience’ i am aware of here are the ten or so of us who participate who seem to all dislike your, uh, “contribution” to this forum. I mean, if you’re a populist, shouldnt you take heed when everyone in the theater is booing at you and throwing rotten fruit? Trust me, it is most certainly NOT love.

Go to Topix. Really. They are your people. Not an elitist among them.

Have you been stalking me?

( believe it or not some folks are laughing their ass off at our crazy interactions)

Sorry if you don’t find gary buesy funny..I laugh every time I see that pic..maybe it’s just me..

incessant, repetitive, content-free posts funny?

Man you are tough audience….

Here’s a little story..I used to tour around LA on my off nights to check out the comedy clubs to see waz up..One night stumbled Iinto small improv 50 seat black box..I saw one of the funniest nights of comedy in my life..the audience consisted of 15 agents, producers, and comedians..these guys are the toughest audience on the planet..barely a chuckle out of the crowd..My friends and I were laughing our ass off..as I’ve said about this forum before..kind of a tough crowd..

Charley Chaplin said

comedy is making fun of pomposity..

..

This forum can take itself a little to serious..sometimes my comments are tongue in cheek stabs at what is obvious pomposity to me..Maybe not to you..different strokes..

It’s hard to have perspective when you’re entrenched in the play..

I could turn the tables on you and ask you some of the same questions you’ve asked me..

“What makes you think anyone gives a rats ass what amazing political insights you have? Do people pull you a side in a bar and say ” Wow Piffy that comment you make about Afghanistan was super serious, intelligent and insightful..you’re the shit man..i WISH i WAS HALF AS SMART AS YOU DUDE !!”

But I’m to classy for that..

richey, i just spoke with the people, ANd they have informed me that your ‘people’ dont exist.

the people have spoken, and they hate your “contribution” to this forum and have unanimously supported you moving to Topix. dont be an elitist.

Piffy, i just spoke with the people, ANd they have informed me that your ‘people’ almost exist.

the people have spoken, and they think your “contribution” is way over rated and your self appointed overlordness of what is valuable and what is not..isn’t that valuable.to this forum and have unanimously supported you moving to Toledo, Ohio. I don’t know why..you are an elitist. of what club or persons you are elite to I don’t know..

If you can write one piece half as funny as the Letterman piece I will personally pay Bugg to blow you..seriously…I think he needs twenty bucks..if you can’t wait..

I just find it to be a low rent version of The Onion, minus the wit and originality.  The articles feel like warmed over, mad lib versions of Onion pieces with a smattering of Asheville references and personalities thrown in.

The Onion= Ray Charles

The Disclaimer= Michael Bolton.

seriously?

here’s how i see it:

The Disclaimer= The Melvins

Onion=Pearl Jam

what say you, Schievey?

When I started this thread I thought it was just a funny bit..and might get a quick 500 reads and fade into the forum hall of shame..but now the media is using this as an opportunity to continue to suppress us and make us feel guilty about having sex..AGAIN..!!!

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33146450/ns/business-careers/

teachable moment for workplace lovers

 

  Are office romances out of bounds?

Of course not!!!.. people spend more time working than anything other place ... sex is one of our most innate means of self expression..

When talk show host David Letterman went public last week with the revelation that he had affairs with women who worked for him, he pointedly said he hopes “to protect my job.”

For the late-night comedian, that is no joke.

Many companies have policies that restrict or prohibit relationships between a boss and his or her subordinates, and violations can be career killers.

I have been in this position..Having a sexual relations with a co worker is a natural occurrence and is usually good for everybody.. Unless you’re out of practice..

In 2005, to take one high-profile example, Harry Stonecipher was asked to resign from his post as chief executive officer of Boeing Co. when his extramarital affair with another executive at the company was exposed.

This is fascism at its worse..big brother watching your dick..

In the case of Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev., the damage is still unfolding from an affair he had with a member of his campaign staff (who also was the wife of a close aide) that was disclosed in June. In another case Fox News personality Bill O’Reilly settled a harassment lawsuit brought by a producer who said the two had phone-sex conversations.

Christ almighty..we have one of the most suppressive societies that has ever existed..Freud said

“People think about two things sex and ambition..

Let’s try and keep it a little real people..

In the O’Reilly case, the producer claimed she allowed the conversations to continue because he was her boss. “I’m not used to saying no to this man on any level,” she said in one interview.

Mo Fo now we can’t even talk about sex..?

That is exactly why such relationships are frowned on in the workplace and why organizations establish guidelines for such liaisons, especially when they involve a head honcho and subordinates. Such relationships can lead to sexual favoritism, a hostile work environment and straight out sexual harassment.

This entire planet is based on sexual favoritism..How stupid do these Nazis think we are?

“When you have a boss and subordinate relationship, one person has power over the other,” said Linda Henman, the author of “The Magnetic Boss.” “Whether that person abuses the power is irrelevant, the perception is there.”

There is no such thing as equality..it was invented by losers.. every person has more power over somebody..should we be penalized for having sex with those whom we have power over..If that’s the case we all should get fired and put in jail..Christ this is such a huge rash of shit..how do these prudish capitalists get away with such drivel? Good for business I guess..

Oh and Piffy… these guys kinda liked the Letterman thread..I guess you’re way hipper than they are..cause Mat is a total push over when it comes to funny..

Kneeslapping lolz.

I just heard Lettermans ratings are up 38 percent since this circus sexcapade thing..women really are coming out of the woodwork ..I must be psychic..

I’m thinking we need to start telling the truth to our readership if we ever want to get paid..we need to come clean with the forum sexcapades..Piffy?  Bugg? Bigaloo? Tat? Matcat? Willc? let’s come clean…

Go away. Nobody likes you. Go away.
