Nomination-Worthy Posts Thread (nom nom nom)

Best. Post. Ever.

No, that's not true at all; I can select a winner – and honorable mention, for that matter – for many reasons: humor, creativity, parody/satire skills (but never irony؟), and many more that I am too lazy to type at this time. Do you really think that I would rank "punctuation" so highly on the list‽

Merci beucoup, Xanfor.

Maybe they had sex at the parade? It was Fryday, so I'm assuming they'd let him get away with something like that.

Alternately: The mayor's wife has a confetti fetish (a confettish, if you will).

My heart is so full of love, that I'd detonate every church/temple/synagogue/mosque if I could

Seriously, no quote could close a religion thread any better.

[Reply #123 on:]

Anyway I'm done with this show If it's staying this way. I mean I love futurama but not in this format.

How do you delete your account?

I like fireworks too, but when all the car alarms are going off and every single dog in the neighborhood is barking, and everyone's cats are hiding under the bed...I wonder "what is it that is so exciting about watching colorful exploisions?

Funny. I think that same thing whenever a new Transformers movie comes out...

[Reply #125 on:]

I've stated my liking for that episode before and never gotten any serious shit for it. People might debate me, sure, but I've never encountered anyone trying to shut me out or being nasty about it. Then again, I don't walk into the conversation with a persecution complex operating at full volume.

Also, Otis, for this:

I'm curious, how would you choose which two numbers to assign each person? Would you flip a coin? ...

However the fuck you want?

No dice...

Once you translate it, it's rather funny. Especially his last sentence.

Xanfor's not eligible for July's POTM, but he would've gotten a nomination for this:

I bet she's getting some cunning lingo from him.

Unfortunately, he's left with all those blue balls.

I think I've done this correctly. Now I'll just list Xanfor as an honorable mention when we do July's nominations, then quote that post in the honorable mentions thread. It's a convoluted system, but it works!

So many lovely sentiments on PEEL these days.

I have fond memories of reading the discussions in the shippy threads, and wishing I was more eloquent and better at analyzing things so I would have something worthwhile to contribute. Those days have returned. I nod my head and smile reading these posts, try to think of something to further the discussion, and... nope. Nothing.

I do have this to say- Fry and Leela fill me with sorrow, anger, fear, every emotion a shipper can display. But mostly they warm my cold heart, and though I love nearly everything about Futurama, watching their relationship develop and how it makes them change as people might be my favorite part of the whole show.

As a minor rant: My dad is a colossal ass. I was talking about going
to the HP movie on Friday and saying how I wanted to dress up. My
mum asked who my oldest friend was going as and before I
answered my dad piped up "Well she must be going as both the twins
because she's fucking massive."

Your dad is BirthdayClown?

DrT's been on a roll lately (which comes of no surprise)...might have to put him back in the standard rotation again...

[Reply #131 on:]

Why? Why not just give him an honourable mention?

[Reply #132 on:]

I never saw that post from DrT... nice.

[Reply #133 on:]

Found it!

If for some reason it doesn't link directly (a problem that I'm having that Otis mentioned in the Complaints thread), it's post #507. I have no idea why Randi's original quoting didn't link to it at all, though...

[Reply #134 on:]

It didn't link because I can't quote between forums while posting on my phone. I can quote within the same page of a given thread, but anything else I have to copy paste.

[Reply #135 on:]

Could you press and then copy/paste that?

Just wondering; you'd get your links that way.

[Reply #136 on:]

She said she'd have to copy/paste, which I'll assume is a difficult task to achieve on the phone.  I think that's the biggest problem really.... using the phone.

[Reply #137 on:]

Wait a second... if she can't use copy/paste on her phone, that means she went through the trouble of memorizing verbatim the original quotation? At that point, why not just wait until you are at a computer and can do it properly?

[Reply #138 on:]

Yup, that's a lot of trouble to go through, Randi...I would've just waited.

But hey, what can you say, maybe she likes a challenge.

[Reply #139 on:]

It really disgusts me that the makers of that film are going to make millions of dollars off of that...

At least the television show has its own story and ideas. This movie is literally just going to be a filmed performance of COVER SONGS. (And from what I gather off some concert reviews, many of their voices un-autotuned are...less than fantastic.)

This is what can pass as cinema nowadays? Fucking pathetic.

* Somebody says anything negative about a new episode, not even mentioning old episodes or "classic feel" in the critique.

* Danny responds saying, "Zomg nostalgia goggles! Y u no appreciate Futurama?!" and demands they get off his internet.

Quoted for truth. I mean Christ, on-topic posters, get your acts together.

[Reply #141 on:]

It wasn't just that guy's post, others have been complaining about Futurama's loss of that 'classic' feel over the last few weeks.

[Reply #142 on:]

Fair enough, Danny. I honestly just took Weiner's post as an admonishment of all the posters who have been flaming people for either loving the new episodes or hating them. I realize that he's mentioning you by name, but it's a problem that's been going on with lots of people in on-topic since the new season began. Sorry if you feel like I'm singling you out, because that's not my intention. I am annoyed by everyone in equal measure.

[Reply #143 on:]

don't believe it, she was TOTALLY singling you out.

[Reply #144 on:]

Let me just set aside my torch, pitchfork, and GET DANNY sign to tell you that you are dead wrong, Gopher!

[Reply #145 on:]

But you didn't even try to hide the URL!

Yeahhh, but his URL isn't exactly a famous one.

Ow baby, that hurts.

[Reply #146 on:]

But I said his URL. Randi's post thus implies that Gopher (to whom DocT was replying to) owns URL.

[Reply #147 on:]

If I got out more, I wouldn't be having a conversation with a one eyed duck troll about a throwaway sentence in an science fiction cartoon on an online message board about the aforesaid science fiction cartoon.

10 feet from Joe Satriani? I probably would have creamed my
pants.

If you weren't wearing pants, what would you have creamed?

You don't need excuses to stay away from Indiana, just to live

Does finding two four leaf clovers cancel each other out as far as luck goes, so that the odd finds are lucky (1st, 3rd, etc.) or are you just exponentially more lucky now with each new find, allowing you to find even more clovers? If you owned a black cat for 18 years does that make you unlucky? What if the cat found a four leaf clover for you, while crouched under a ladder in a middle of a field? If you break one mirror, and then another a year later, does that mean you have double the time of bad luck (14 years) or does it just tac on 7 years to your initial 7 year bad luck run (making it 8 years)? Or, as in the 4 leaf clover scenario, do they cancel each other out? If you see a penny on the ground tails up, and bend down to pick it up, only to avoid an arrow being being shot from a crossbow across where your torso would have been had you not been bending down, and that arrow shoots your black cat missing you in the process, does that make you more or less lucky? If an autopsy is run on the cat and Nazi paraphenalia is found in its stomach, and you are detained by the cops for trying to traffic those goods, how fucked up are you? 

Please note in all these scenarios the luckiest clover is the four leaf.

I can think of quite a few sports correspondants in the UK who have awful, awful hair

Are you saying that Ginny Weasley is the Hazel Irvine of the Potterverse?

[Reply #154 on:]

Meh. Four, seven, what's the difference?

Three.

[Reply #155 on:]

But it's clearly negative three. Order matters in math!

[Reply #156 on:]

It would matter... but the question clearly asks for the absolute value.  The answer is 3, because 3 is the difference between four and seven, as well as, seven and four.

[Reply #157 on:]

Yeah, but remember, 3 is the magic number.

They have absolutely nothing in common; without Ron, they really don't get along with each other.

Kinda like Leela and Bender in "Law and Oracle"

How dare Booze be so exact in his cognizant paradigms!
