Relationships are hard....

[ChadTower]

Can I still feel pretty?

[Chris G]

Perhaps if you ask Ken nicely without using any quotes.

[Chris G]

What's ironic in all this is the fact that my original post (quote) was actually a serious question...

[horseboy]

You never asked Ken permission, so it doesn't matter.

[shorthair]

There should be severance pay. The day before they leave you, they should have to find you a temp.

I only get a date something like 2-3 times a year cuz I'm so timid. I say amen to this.

Be emotionally independent and you won't care. Then, someone may (or may not) come into your life and that could be great. But who cares, either way?


shmokes (and cheffo, or just cheffo, if the former was joking) : no, false dichotomy is a sort of negative version of complex question. Here, each of us just stated (perhaps speculated) something.

[CheffoJeffo]

Yeah, what Glaine said, and it's just a tad antisocial, not to mention freaking me out.  I can just imagine you guys poring over shorthair's posts, your little brains formulating what posts can be best taken out of context to make him look homosexual. 

 

Get a grip, dudes. 

Is it me, or are the fun police out today ? 

I would be willing to bet that shorthair has been having a good time with this thread -- he may post incoherent gibberish and quote incorrectly in his replies, but he apparently has a sense of humour.

And this thread WAS funny (even Chad's stuff!) ... right up until the fun police decided to impose their own incorrect assumptions regarding motivation on everybody else.

 

[Chris G]

Ya, Cheffo never had to deal with this!  Maybe because he was a one-man army...

No, I just had some clown suggest that I should be eternally linked to tommy in my custom title ... 

 

[horseboy]

Agreeing with horseboy ... shudder ...

Oh crap, Cheffo agrees with me ... shudder ...

[Chris G]

No, I just had some clown suggest that I should be eternally linked to tommy in my custom title ... 

 

   Sorry man.  If it's any consolation, apparently it's not necessarily eternal.  Reference:

Only Saint has those powers.

[horseboy]

I just noticed he changed mine yesterday. He also changed Chad's based on the same discussion. I wonder if he noticed.

[horseboy]

If only he will put that Sally quote as Chris G's custom title....

I suspect he was drunk when he did that.  He had to have been.  I think I was.

[KenToad]

Well, I thought the quoting just turned mean after Glaine posted that he only has a date every few years (End of Page 1). 

I kept returning to this thread hoping that shorthair would explain his first post, although I respect his decision to ignore you 'tards. 

[ChadTower]

It went from a couple a year to once every few years.

I think Glaine may be Chris Elliot.

[KenToad]

Chad, I remember when I first joined this forum that I thought you were schizophrenic.  You seemed to argue just for the sake of it and your humor was randomly violent.  I kept reassuring myself that it was just the Internet and Chad is really probably a very nice guy.

Now I think you're totally cool.

Pot. Kettle.Black.

I'd rather you just didn't comment and force me to point out that YOU didn't need to comment in a negative mannor for no reason.

It's one thing to object, it's another thing to object while committing the very offense you claim to be objecting to (Section 141.6 - Being Mean).

As a public service message to those who would post about their dating life on an arcade board -- go read the trainwreck that is the mind-numbing thread that Noice started on KLOV.

Uh, shorty, I was applauding the explosive and spectacular display of quote-fu ... I didn't say dich about dichotomies.

 

[patrickl]

I guessed his girlfriend dumped him and he wanted to complain about it.

Doesn't that actually make KenToad schizophrenic?


Dich about dichotomies...

Brilliant!

I am REALLY late to respond (no desk job during the spring/summer) but back when this thread was funny.

I posted the Jackson pic with the sole intent of making shorthair look gay.

That shizzle cracked ---my bottom--- up.

Ya, I thought it was funny. I mean, I agree with you Ken in that they really could be better spending their time, but it's theirs. As for elucidating on my answer, no one asked. So: while this little saying I posted is cute an funny, I think it underlies a true issue with people. They're inherently lonely. Further, I don't think it has to be so difficult and arduous. Boundaries. (or, in cheeky fashion: BOUNDARIES - NOT BORDERS.)


And for horseboy and the gang:

I have a firm grip on things here. Maybe you should check.

[CheffoJeffo]

This, coming from a guy whose posts in the non-arcade forums on an arcade board read like yodese ?

We *ALL* could be spending our time better.

This is just more fun.

[Chris G]

If only he will put that Sally quote as Chris G's custom title.... 


 

Ok, horsesassboy, you got your wish... now go get yourself a new signature already, will ya!   

[Chris G]

No one asked???  That was my first post!!!  And the reason I asked was because you've already explained your theory of relationships to me.  Of course a relationship isn't going to be difficult if a person confines it to tight boundaries.  Assuming your theory about lonely people is correct, such a relationship isn't going to make them any less lonely in the first place, so what's the point?

[CheffoJeffo]

Now that made me smile ...

[Glaine]

So let me get this straight - you guys are mad because I may have led to a derailment of this thread which you guys originally derailed?

Which by the by wasn't my intent - I did after all say that I still found this stuff modestly funny. I was partly just trying to give shorthair something for his thread and couldn't help commenting on you guys. Thank Zeus you guys didn't blow things out of proportion....o wait...

And yeah, I said a few dates a year - not every few years. You know whats even sadder? I've got friends who I get more dates than.

Be emotionally independent and you won't care. Then, someone may (or may not) come into your life and that could be great. But who cares, either way?

Definately agree and I am, but I'm also sensative and take rejection a little personal cuz I used to get stood up a lot. Don't start on telling me I need to get over this, in some strange way I like being sensitive. It's part of my personality, part of why I'm the original nice guy. I'm not changing that, though I can also accept that nice guys finish last and I might not finish at all    .

Typically I could care less about dating anyways (which means I try even less, which means even less dating). The only things worse is people who think they are worthless, because no one wants to hang around with a joy kill. Which means they are unhappy because they are alone and will probably remain alone because they are unhappy. Glad I don't have that prob. Too bad I've got the problem of talking too much and giving everyone way too much fodder for to shoot my face off with.

I thought only Koolmoecraig could say definitively what was funny.

 

 

Chad is really probably a very nice guy. Now I think you're totally cool.

[horseboy]

My, my, where to begin?

Glaine- Nobody got mad at you derailing the derailed thread. I explained that we were joking. KenToad decided to be an ass because he was quoted out of context unmercifully by bullies as a child. KenToad was then an ass because he was quoted out of context unmercifully by bullies as a child. We got mad at that.

KenToad- You are a turd.

Sally-  I will find a new quote. Thanks. 

JackTucky- ur momz

shorthair- This is good. It's a start, but there are a few simple things that you need to keep in mind here. Well, I guess just one thing. You can only clip from the ends of the quotes. No cutting stuff out in the middle, and no adding stuff. That's cheating. You added that period on the end. A little rough, but I'll give you credit for it this time.

And for horseboy and the gang:

I have a firm grip on things here. Maybe you should check.

[shorthair]

Hell na, dude. I've seen some stepping over of them rules. I think I was totally within bounds as I didn't add any words. And you're not giving me credit for my first quote in the thread - which, I think, is actual, but I just typed it in thinking it probly was accurate.

Glaine: tough bein a Glaine...or, toof baen ah Glaen? Sensitivity can be defined differently. I'm very sensitive. And I'm very sympathetic - at times. But, and I just figured this out, I'm not empathetic. That's just a distraction and drain of energy. I actually used to discourage people, particularly females, from this kind of behavior. You know, condition them to be more funxional. Now I just let people be whatever, though I do comment an stuff at times. If they like what they see in me and think it's useful, they'll incorporate it.

However, sensitivity doesn't equate to getting bent over rejection. They simply aren't related. Taking anything personally is just emotional drain. Not saying I don't do it...but I don't do it in many, let alone your average person's, ways. Say I did something which I thought was pretty decent, even remarkable. To me, it's not a reflection of my ability, but that something neat could be created. Who cares who did it. So, say, someone demeaning it or me through deamining it: just not possible, cos I'm not concerned with my ego. I'm just interested in what can be done.

Chris: no you didn't. If you asked anything, however indirectly, it wasn't of me.

[CheffoJeffo]

Chris: no you didn't. If you asked anything, however indirectly, it wasn't of me.

Sure he did, he just made the mistake of using your words and those have an uncanny ability to obscure intent.

 

[horseboy]

shorthair. Don't worry about it. It was a good try. You are wrong, though. Check the other thread.

[Chris G]

shorthair - I'm not going to argue over whether I asked you a question or not.  If you read the rest of that post, I actually wrote something resembling a relevant comment about the original topic (say it ain't so!)...

[ChadTower]

It's ironic that this relationship got so hard.

[shardian]

It's ironic that this ...got so hard.

hehe hehe. Dude, he said "hard". That was cool. hehe hehe yeah!

[Glaine]

My dad is the internet and he says that no (relevant) questions were asked and that I'm always right. He's can't be here right now cuz he's out buying a dinosaur that eats bad posts so I think we're all in trouble.
