Nomination-Worthy Posts Thread Harder

Another quote from the "Forty Percent Leadbelly" review thread that I really enjoyed:

I mean,he is a great writter,but isn't a god either,people should stop to treat him like that,he can write more relaxed stuff than episodes about angst and science and this was a proof.

I just think "episodes about angst and science" is a great descriptor for the prototypical Ken Keeler episode (I am reminded of TKOS in particular).

tnuk seems to be hogging this thread lately.

Perhaps it's a subtle allusion to the fact that Ellie is pretty much Joel's pokemon. He's Ash to her Pikachu, Misty to her Staryu, Brock to her Geodude. He's her trainer, and she is his protege. She's his companion and pet, deriving affection and protection from him. He goes to extraordinary lengths to ensure her safety, and ultimately cares too deeply about her welfare to let her be harmed by people who would like to exploit her.

Plus, just like Ash and Pikachu, he's probably going to rape her at some point.

Saying one's religious identity is Christian is like saying one's racial identity is primate (in the case of archbishops, it could be both).

Epic, Maz.  Simply epic!

I thought it was an American tradition, whereby if the bride finds out her husband-to-be has slept with one of her bridesmaids she may chase after him with a running chainsaw. If she lops off his head, she has her choice of groomsmen to marry in his place. If she chops off one of his limbs, she still has to marry the original groom but has her choice of groomsmen to sleep with for the duration of the marriage. If she only manages to scratch or otherwise non-lethally wound him she still has to marry him and doesn't get any other form of revenge. If she completely misses, the groom is allowed to chase after her with the chainsaw. The opposite to all this applies if the groom finds out the bride slept with one of his groomsmen, although in the sense of bros before hoes he will often forgive the groomsman if it is his best friend, in which case they will both be able to choose a bridesmaid to poke in the boob and run away laughing (after the chainsaw ritual has taken place).

Through which I mean to say; why wouldn't you have chainsaws at a wedding? From what I've heard, non-chainsaw weddings are rather boring.

Oh sure, when Randi shows off her body, everyone stops and stares, but when I show my body, everyone's all like "OMG EW NIBBS PUT A SHIRT ON, GODDAMN YOU PASTY!"

We say that even when you don't show your body.

It only happens very rarely, but often passes after about five minutes. Nothing to worry about, I'm sure. Just temporarily uncomfortable..

Your dad or mom is supposed to have a talk with you about how your body changes at your age.  It sounds like you're just manstruating.

Aww, maybe your dad will take you to the store to get your first box of manpons. Be sure to read the instructions and rest assured that a manpon can never get lost inside of your body.

DrT and Josh. Two of PEEL's best and funniest posters...

George Zimmerman has been spotted for the first time since his acquittal, helping a family out of their rolled vehicle.

Is there going to be a trial to see if he caused the crash?

Only if it was a black SUV.

Turns out he had been following the car for miles despite the fire department advising him otherwise.

Some commentary on the squabbling up-thread :

There's nothing wrong with constructive criticism, tnuk, but constant criticism is bound to get other PEELers backs up. And calling people idiots for enjoying the current run, or snidely asserting they're not "discerning in their tastes" is just rude. Your opinion is just that - your subjective opinion. Posting a graph which shows other people share your opinion does not make it the definitive opinion. Posting "you're wrong" in flashing red text doesn't make it the definitive opinion. Calling everyone who doesn't agree with you stupid and blind definitely doesn't make it the definitive opinion. It just makes you an asshole. And I'm a little sick of you lampshading your responses by claiming to be smarter / more invested in the show / more sarcastic than your opponent.

You think that those who disagree with you are generally wrong, and generally back away from the argument with egg on their face. That's a statement that's a little hard to swallow.

It's impossible for you or your opponent to be "right" in many of your arguments, because they often revolve around your attempts to prove your opinion is fact. You can state your opinion as exhaustively and as eloquently as you like, but that won't transmute it into fact. Your vocabulary alone suggests you're a smart guy, so it baffles me that you persist in this. You make a statement like "the new series was bad" and expect us to bow down to the unimpeachable power of the bold button and accept your opinion as fact. Unfortunately, it's easy to bold things. Anyone can do it! It adds no weight to your argument. If you want to state "the last series was bad" as your opinion, go ahead. But if you insist upon calling it fact, and getting snotty about everyone who doesn't agree, you're going to annoy people. It's poor forum etiquette, to say the least.

When you present your opinions rationally, I quite enjoy reading them. But I don't enjoy disagreeing with you (if merely reminding you your opinion is not fact can be called that   ). You think those you argue with have all retreated with "egg on their face" because you were winning the argument. Not true, I'm afraid. In my case, I got sick of your obfuscating text-dumping, and gave up trying to talk to you. It was boredom, and the happy reminder I had better things to do, that led to me abandoning the conversation. I'd wager I'm not the first. Bombarding your opponent with text and breaking out your best vocabulary doesn't make you right, it just makes you obnoxious - the metaphorical kid in the sandbox, screaming "MY CASTLE IS THE BEST!!" so loudly no-one else can be heard. You haven't won the argument, you've just exhausted everyone in range.

Friendly reminder : your opinion is not the word of God.

"Yeah, some people still really enjoy it. That's fine. They're allowed to. But I'm allowed by the same token to point out that this means they're about as discerning in their tastes as a hobo rummaging through a dumpster for his dinner."  -   No, you're not. You're allowed to say you don't enjoy it, but that doesn't give you carte blanche to insult everyone who does.

Your inability to respect a different opinion is just absurd now. As is your assumption that all praise for the new run is "blind". It isn't and you know it. There's a healthy mix of praise and concrit on PEEL, often within the same post. Just because posters praise things you didn't find praiseworthy, or have the audacity to declare they still love the show, doesn't mean their praise is "blind" or "undiscerning", or that they're witless berks. It just means they've committed the cardinal sin of having ( ) a different opinion to you. If you can't accept that, a forum is really the wrong place for you, and I suggest you replace PEEL with the sycophantic comfort of a mirror.

Nailed it. Full-on, nailed it.

You would do the same thing, Freako.

No, he wouldn't.

If Freako did that, there'd be no towel, two octopi worth of tentacles, and Leela would be fourteen.

Before breakfast each morning, I  wander the streets and lure 9 men back to my lair, where I crush their ballsacks and use the resulting delicious, sweet powder as a sweetener in my coffee. I then take their dick and add it to one of my beautiful dick necklaces (or, as I like to call them, dick-laces) and wear these dick-laces around to show my prowess as a hunter.

Me and new kitten

I went round to my parents to play with her. She was rather shy at first but then came out of her shell a bit. What I didn't realise (having lived in the house for 2 years) was that there was a hole in the wall behind the family pc. She decided to climb in and fall the other side, in between the two houses I assume. At this point it was like being in a horror movie kind off. You hear of those stories of cats getting stuck between walls and such so I was kind of freaking out. She tried to get out a few times to no avail. She managed to get her paws underneath her head but again couldn't move so I quickly grabbed her head and pulled her out. To probably the biggest relief I've felt. Scared wasn't even the word. But all is good now

The thing is that it's not a joke. This is really how things work. Many women just point their back end at the toilet and whatever happens happens. Then they wipe up and flee the scene, leaving a befouled toilet that no other woman would voluntarily plunk her butt onto. Thus the great circle of filth continues.

Ah yes, as a musician I've studied the circle of filths quite a bit.
