Subject: RE: Real BS: How To Really Annoy Folks From: Jeri Date: 18 Oct 00 - 03:54 PM If you don't like the way a certain group operates, attempt to convince them they're wrong, you're right, and they must all change. Every last one of 'em. This probably won't annoy the group members as much as it will frustrate you for as long as you keep trying. |

Subject: RE: Real BS: How To Really Annoy Folks From: Rich(bodhránai gan ciall) Date: 18 Oct 00 - 09:36 PM Helen, The Vegemite Incident (as it shall ever be called) seems to be one of the only things that's safe to joke about as of late without somebody getting annoyed. It certainly wasn't intended as an attack, but just in case ti was taken as such, let me put in my nomination that you be the Snog Of The Week recipient next week. And here's a big hug until then (((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUG!!!!!!)))))))))))))))))))))))) Rich |

Subject: RE: Real BS: How To Really Annoy Folks From: Little Hawk Date: 18 Oct 00 - 11:08 PM Okay, there are certain words that really annoy certain people...like "solipsism", for instance. I recommend that we all get together and establish some really SOLID Mudcat rules and get those words either banned outright, or make people print them backwards, so as not to annoy anyone in future. With any luck we could get Congress to pass legislation on this eventually, and clean up language everywhere in the good ol' USA. The word "tit", for instance is very offensive. It offends me every time I see it. I demand that everyone spell it backwards from now on...or stop using it altogether! |

Subject: RE: Real BS: How To Really Annoy Folks From: hesperis Date: 18 Oct 00 - 11:14 PM LH, there are birds in England called 'tits'. Blue Tit and Lesser Tit, I believe. Our UK people can probably tell us more about that........ "Tit" is not an inherently offensive word. It's just the way it is used by certain narrow-minded individuals that is the problem. Just like any other word. "Fuck" for example. |

Subject: RE: Real BS: How To Really Annoy Folks From: katlaughing Date: 19 Oct 00 - 12:51 AM RANT - Take a joke about someone's bodiily functions and run it into the ground, so that eventually every thread has references which make this seem like a site for repressed teens, getting away from mom and dad for the first time and using all of the "no-no" words and tasteless humour they can think of. In other words, lay off of Spaw, already!/RANT BillD, that is one of the best quotes I've ever read, really like that, shoulda been on the Unexplained thread. |

Subject: RE: Real BS: How To Really Annoy Folks From: Sorcha Date: 19 Oct 00 - 01:26 AM You guys is all nutso. I liked the original post,but why does silliness always have to degenerate into nastiness? Silliness is sometimes just silliness, with no (Freudian) overtones........... |

Subject: RE: Real BS: How To Really Annoy Folks From: Lonesome EJ Date: 19 Oct 00 - 01:46 AM Paraphrase a previous post with only minor variations,add "I'm surprised no one has said this yet!",then PM several of your pals to post messages praising your intelligence,insight,and creativity. Walk around work with your tie thrown over your shoulder.When someone mentions it,tell them you flew to the office in a biplane. Walk around with your pants unzipped.If someone mentions it,tell them you just got your underwear out of the drier and are cooling them off. When you are in an ethnic restaurant,for example Chinese,order loudly using a Chinese accent.Insist that all of your tablemates also use a chinese accent, to make the experience more "authentic". |

Subject: RE: Real BS: How To Really Annoy Folks From: Amergin Date: 19 Oct 00 - 12:34 PM Kat, you mean this is not a site for repressed teens? Damn, I guess, I'll have to find another site then... Amergin |

Subject: RE: Real BS: How To Really Annoy Folks From: Grab Date: 19 Oct 00 - 01:20 PM Damn Bill, I was trying to copy that so I could find what font you'd used, and I was well puzzled by why it wouldn't select the characters... :-) 1) Say you work for Microsoft. 2) If someone you know really does work for Microsoft, start with the "Here's a Bill Gates joke I bet you haven't heard." 3) Submit the same post more than once. 4) Submit the same post more than once. 5) Submit the (you get the idea) Grab. |

Subject: RE: Real BS: How To Really Annoy Folks From: Little Hawk Date: 19 Oct 00 - 01:41 PM Mention Bob Dylan in every thread you can, no matter whether there is any good reason for it or not. Actually, I can always come up with a good reason to mention Bob Dylan, but that's just me, of course... Throw in a quote from a Dylan lyric to further illustrate whatever point you are making. Add an obscure anecdote about Dylan which nobody except a total Bobaholic would know about, or even CARE about. My God, there are a lot of philistines out there... "You've got a lotta nerve, to say you are my friend..." Hesperis - taking me seriously, eh? Cool! If you do happen to use the word "tit" I will assume that you are referring to the bird, not the bodily attachment. Actually, I would have assumed that in any case, but it was good of you to point it out. We can't be too careful in our continuing struggle to provide totally non-annoying and inoffensive material to the masses on Mudcat. Please note that I did spell "tit" backwards in this posting, so that no one need be offended. I vote that we also spell "Spaw" backwards from now on, which is "Waps". Neat, eh? Kat - I'm willing to stop making fart jokes about Spaw if the rest of you are...but is HE willing to? Bill D - Actually, EVERYTHING is indistinguishable from magic. It's all magic. Or it isn't. Whatever turns you on. |

Subject: RE: Real BS: How To Really Annoy Folks From: Bill D Date: 19 Oct 00 - 01:54 PM Grab...the font is called "Dabbington"...it comes that way , but knowing that no one would have it installed, I had to do a couple of 'extra' things...(like sort of bending one of Max's posting rules...don't tell him *wink*) |

Subject: RE: Real BS: How To Really Annoy Folks From: Little Hawk Date: 19 Oct 00 - 02:22 PM Now, Bill, don't go ignoring my post just because it's too long... |
|
Subject: RE: Real BS: How To Really Annoy Folks From: Bill D Date: 19 Oct 00 - 02:34 PM ignore?...what, ME ignore?Nawwwwww...I merely failed to RESPOND... ok, here you go..... it follows that "Bob Dylan is indistinguishable from magic", which means I oughta be able to buy a book showing how they DID him. (now...off to the Getaway tomorrow...not sure if I can continute this witty repartee' until Tuesday or so,,,but maybe NOT doing so will reduce annoyment for some) |

Subject: RE: Real BS: How To Really Annoy Folks From: katlaughing Date: 19 Oct 00 - 03:29 PM It doesn't have to be an all or nothing, LH, just not in every damn mention of him. And, no, Spaw backwards is not neat. Don't be messing with our Spaw, ya hear?!! One more for the general list: make every posting long and write it in know-it-all rhetoric, esp. make it sound as though no one else could possibly know as much or more than you. BillD, whadja do pass the "ole curmudgeon" stick to me? I guess I'll continue on in your absence, unless they throw me out! katlaughinginacurmudgeonlyway |

Subject: RE: Real BS: How To Really Annoy Folks From: Irish Rover Date: 19 Oct 00 - 04:22 PM I find being myself, and stating my thoughts and positions is usally enough to piss of the general population. however I'm still here! |

Subject: RE: Real BS: How To Really Annoy Folks From: Bill D Date: 19 Oct 00 - 07:10 PM reminds me of one of the best lines I ever heard...a guy I knew in high school once looked at me and said,"I'm probably the only one at North High that more people don't like than don't know!" he DID have his ways of annoying people....like sitting in algebra class with his book closed, looking bored...and when the teacher would call on him, just look up, give the correct answer, and go back to being seemingly inattentive...I know it drove ME crazy.... |

Subject: RE: Real BS: How To Really Annoy Folks From: catspaw49 Date: 20 Oct 00 - 12:29 AM Oh gawd troll....That's GREAT!!! If they don't find me weird enough in this town, you can bet this will put them over the edge. Tomorrow for sure!!!! Had a friend who would pull through McDonald's in the old days when you could hear the customer over a speaker inside instead of the headsets they wear now. Jim would wait for the kid to come on and ask for the order and then say, "Hello......HELLO.......HELLO" and of course the kid would keep asking for the order. After about 3 or 4 of these non-exchanges, Jim would add, HELLO......HELLO.....HELLO????????..........Aw shit, these fuckin' things NEVER work!!!"..............and drive off. Spaw |

And after all,is not all alleged knowledge suspect? Is not knowledge,when kept hidden from healthy questioning suspicion,nothing more than blind,accepting ignorance? I hope that you might,Katlaughing,be able to grasp the brilliance of this statement,which seems so obvious to Your Humble Servant LEJ PS..That sorta along the lines of what you were talking about Kat?

Subject: RE: Real BS: How To Really Annoy Folks From: katlaughing Date: 20 Oct 00 - 01:41 AM OH! My LeeJ! Yes, indeed, darlin', THAT is exactly what I was getting at, but then of course you would know that IF you had the same references that I have, being the annotated text of the Sacred Fertility Rites from the Temple of Teksab, which is supported by the subtext of the Yhtapmys, so important to the timeline of what I was referring to in Thread #2397?88794&--707779. Of course, you wouldn't know about the Ancient Mother Mysteries of the Seventh and Thirteenth Houses of the MatreMonious Chapter of the Most Wholly-Owned Subsidiarary of the Humble Order of the Reconstituted Virgins, either, which knowledge I am not at liberty to divulge having taken the Sacred and UnDying Oath of Allegiance to the United Order Vulvania Amazonia, especiallly to those of the Dangly Bits, upon pain of losing my newly acquired virginity, which one works all of their life to regain if one wants to serve in the Higher Realms of Possibilies concerning the Absolutes of the Unexplained, for which I can reveal no explanation, neither for why we want to reconstitute our Hi!Mens nor what the Unexplained really is all about, but I'll give you a hint: it ain't about the Hokey Pokey! kattheerudite

Subject: RE: Real BS: How To Really Annoy Folks From: Bill D Date: 20 Oct 00 - 08:44 AM kat....why, if I didn't understand a bit of that, do I feel all tingly and flushed? (you didn't have some of that there subliminable stuff in there, did you?) |

Subject: RE: Real BS: How To Really Annoy Folks From: katlaughing Date: 20 Oct 00 - 10:21 AM My Dear Mr. BillDee, There are those rare times, when one of the Dangly Bits reaches a certain stage of advanced age, when in the consistent company of even one of the UOVA, that they might gain a slight knowledge of the Rites, although, most greivously do I report they are never quite able to reach the Higher Realms as it would take a miracle to reconsititute a rent asunder beFORE epidermal over a Dangly Bit, thus, they remain forever non-virginal, unable to partake in any of those ceremonies of the Inner Circle of Possibilities, Applications, and Decreed Activities. As to your question regarding any mind-altering techniques of the Realms: what is in your mind, is that which was placed there by those of you who know who you are and noone, not even they, nor those, can tell you exactly what it is that you believe has been used upon you, nor placed therein, except of course that part of yourself which is all-knowing, which is a smaller portion of the greater InSight of us all. In the sincerest wish that this has been, in some small measure, worthy of your attention and has shed even a glimmer of Light upon your world, I am maniacal giggle most humbly yours, katonarollwithoutthemayo! |

Subject: RE: Real BS: How To Really Annoy Folks From: catspaw49 Date: 20 Oct 00 - 10:45 AM Well, I did it! I waited til there were a few people around who would notice and I acted really happy and hopped out with my money in hand and a big smile. One lady looked completely confused....a truly CLASSIC look!!! Thank you troll.....I feel GREAT!!! Spaw |

Subject: RE: Real BS: How To Really Annoy Folks From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 20 Oct 00 - 12:26 PM There's teasing annoying, and there's slipping the knife in deftly, like in this post which hit quite a few targets pretty accurately. Well, that''s a mixed metaphor, of course, and that annoys people quite often.
Of course if you really want to cause an eruption, start a thread like this one....
Or when people get annoyed by something like that, say that you can't understand why they're upset.

Subject: RE: Real BS: How To Really Annoy Folks From: catspaw49 Date: 20 Oct 00 - 12:36 PM I think kat has shown great deftness with the knife you speak of Mac. Of course that's an oobscure reference without naming names and generally annoys folks too. And Bill, at your age, the wee dangly bits....well............uh, well......like,uh.... they are just wee dangly bits... Spaw |

Subject: RE: Real BS: How To Really Annoy Folks From: katlaughing Date: 20 Oct 00 - 01:01 PM E'now, m'Lord! Rise up o' thou Prostrator of the First Order. Ye have shown yourself worthy of the Mighty Honour of the T'irdee-t'ird Degree of Obfuscation of the Most Precious Mud, a subsect of the UOVA, unto which you will comport yourself in a seemly manner of untoward behaviour, delivering the eulogenic accolades of the HORV, while appopriately demonstrating the proper application of digital dexterity and satiation to those Dangly Bits of your own. Oyez, Oyez and so it is! MAR(s) |

Subject: RE: Real BS: How To Really Annoy Folks From: Little Hawk Date: 20 Oct 00 - 01:07 PM I believe you spoke of your "newly acquired virginity", Kat. Intriguing. I have been running a virginity restoration service here in Orillia for several years now. Its slogan is "Re-experience The Thrill Of The First Time". I do, of course, have a professional interest in exactly what method was used to restore your virginity, as it might involve copyright infringement on the Coventry Method, or then again, it might not. It would probably be good if we could exchange some detailed info on this at some point. Virginity restoration is a tricky business, but entirely worth the trouble to some people, while others simply can't be bothered. We once undertook the virginity restoration of an Ontario politician (whose name I cannot divulge). It was a desperate business. It took 75 days, and 130 gallons of chicken fat, but we finally succeeded. I sometimes wake up in the night, wondering if we made a tragic mistake in his case... The only group we have found that is almost completely impervious to virginity restoration is lawyers. Bankers aren't easy either... At any rate, do PM me on this at your convenience. I never fail to appreciate the erudite nature, the good humour, and the well expressed consistencies that are so liberally sprinkled throughout your postings on this and various other threads of dubious value. :-D |

Subject: RE: Real BS: How To Really Annoy Folks From: Jim Dixon Date: 20 Oct 00 - 01:34 PM McGrath: Just curious - In your last message above, why does your first blue clicky point to http://ragtime.mudcat.org/ instead of http://www.mudcat.org/? What IS http://ragtime.mudcat.org/? I've never encountered it before that I'm aware of -- |

Subject: RE: Real BS: How To Really Annoy Folks From: Jim Dixon Date: 20 Oct 00 - 01:41 PM And if anyone admits to being annoyed by anything, accuse them of being narrow-minded and too judgmental. (Boy, I hate judgmental people. They really annoy me!) |
|
Subject: RE: Real BS: How To Really Annoy Folks From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 20 Oct 00 - 01:48 PM Aha! The mysteries of the mudcat. There are in fact two identical mudcat sites. I think the official term is "mirror sites" - I think they're in parallel universes that happen to be running in synch for the time being.
Anyway, when for some reason the http://www.mudcat.org/ site is playing up - giving unobtainable, or being remarkably slow, it's worth trying the other one, which is http://ragtime.mudcat.org/

Subject: RE: Real BS: How To Really Annoy Folks From: hesperis Date: 20 Oct 00 - 06:19 PM kat - that was SO good! LH - assuming that the lawyers have, in fact, lost their virginity. If they HADN'T lost their virginity before purchasing your service, they might have a little difficulty in RESTORING what had not actually been lost. (I mean, who would DO IT with a lawyer?!!!) (That was supposed to be a joke, eh?) |

Subject: RE: Real BS: How To Really Annoy Folks From: Ebbie Date: 20 Oct 00 - 07:41 PM Rofl, kat, Lej, BillD, spaw, LH... It even shut up my budgies. (Why does that sound obscene??) JimDixon, I have never found a way to say, " Fundamentalists are the most judgmental religious people I have ever known." As soon as I say that, I've done the ultimate, myself. I need help with that... Ebbie |
|
Subject: RE: Real BS: How To Really Annoy Folks From: Jim Dixon Date: 20 Oct 00 - 07:54 PM Ebbie, I don't think you've done the ultimate. There's a difference between saying, "I say you're wrong" and saying, "I say you're wrong and God does too." Between the two, I'd say the second is more judgmental. On the other hand, if you're condemning fundamentalists on the ground that God says they're wrong, then you're pretty much in the same boat with them. |
