Someone left one of the hob rings on.

glad to hear you didn't explode/suffocate

( plentyofants can't start a fire without a spork, Sat 13 Dec 2008, 18:51, archived)

Thank you. Me too.

Bye now.

Also, it's bindun in a way that actually took more than 3 seconds, in animation form.

charmed im sure

(Rebel biscuit Manpad up the flaptrack, Sat 13 Dec 2008, 18:36, archived)

Erm. I do believe the compo spec said a tribute.

( riverghost blessed are the gleesmakers, Sat 13 Dec 2008, 18:36, archived)

It lacks magenta or anything funny

( maiden it probably wasn't my fault after all, Sat 13 Dec 2008, 18:37, archived)

angry cock, hmm.
You know if it were anyone else, it would have been bindun, then a reply bandwagon with that and then gone.

Sorry there fellow, I feel it may get rough somewhere
( Uncle Gilly hides from Plato, Sat 13 Dec 2008, 18:38, archived)

Okay, but now do something funny instead

I mean, it's not even magenta

pic doesnt really merit a comment, but....
b3ta logic is incredible. :)
make a joke about the parents of a missing girl covering up their evil deeds = lol

Not really it's more at the fact that he/she/it is not clever enough to read what the compo was.

( riverghost blessed are the gleesmakers, Sat 13 Dec 2008, 18:45, archived)

and it's bindun a couple of times before.

well you've got to have standards, haven't you?

( plentyofants can't start a fire without a spork, Sat 13 Dec 2008, 18:48, archived)

In all the years I've been at b3ta
I've learnt that logic never really comes into any of it. I think it's more down to the intent (mostly presumed/assumed) behind a post rather than the post itself.
( maiden it probably wasn't my fault after all, Sat 13 Dec 2008, 18:49, archived)

Good analysis.

( namdrah On /board no-one can hear you groan., Sat 13 Dec 2008, 18:50, archived)

True.
This is also why new people get a harder time than regulars when they post near-the-knuckle stuff, because it's much easier to presume what the intent was if someone's been around for years.
( The Hedgehog From Hell 's days are numbered, Sat 13 Dec 2008, 18:53, archived)

same with anywhere really
i know /talk go on about cliques on here, but the same applies over there. if regular started a new thread with an inane comment, they'd assume he was just having a laugh and join in; if a new person did it, he'd get told to fuck off
( plentyofants can't start a fire without a spork, Sat 13 Dec 2008, 18:57, archived)

I popped over there a couple of weeks ago
to join in the fun and see how many of the old skool were still alive and I was told to fuck off back to /main board - which was nice.
( maiden it probably wasn't my fault after all, Sat 13 Dec 2008, 19:02, archived)

absolutely
probably why some many noobs go through the baptism of fire - which I'm sure we have all gone through. It is a little unfair I know so my only words of advice for the L-Platers is to post fluffy kittens shops at the start and gradually bring in the hard stuff once you're settled.

this is precisely the tack happytoast took:

and it seems to have worked out alright for him
( plentyofants can't start a fire without a spork, Sat 13 Dec 2008, 19:05, archived)

See there is a man who can appeal the crowds
If Hitler had started his idea of World Dictatorship to the Fatherland with a kittenshop we'd all be Nazis today!
( maiden it probably wasn't my fault after all, Sat 13 Dec 2008, 19:08, archived)

I like your progression . . . kittens to hard stuff . . .
got me gigglin' !
( Valin That that is that . . . is that . . ., Sat 13 Dec 2008, 19:05, archived)

It is to some extent the same as social situations anywhere.
An old friend might be cajoled with "you daft cunt" said with some affection, try it with someone you don't know and the effect is often different. Taking away cues of inflection and expression makes it more pronounced.
( namdrah On /board no-one can hear you groan., Sat 13 Dec 2008, 19:09, archived)

That nicely illustrates why emoticons and smileys are so popular on the internet,
it's a handy shorthand to replace the inflection and body language that would otherwise inform everyone's interpretation.

Saying that, I refuse to use them. Fuck it, if anyone can't understand the fact that I'm joking without me going SEMICOLON BRACKET at the end of it, it's their problem.

imagine if swift had sprinkled
smilies and LOLs throughout 'a modest proposal'.
actually, i'd like to see that
