Pushing someone's buttons

[Vraith]

And what exactly would be the point of this. To deliberately atempt to insult someone - someone you don't want to insult - and you probably don't really mean it - and they know you (probably) don't mean it (but is that doubt I see in your eyes there?). Sorry. This is beyond me. I don't get it. There are too many people who really need to be insulted to waste time playing games at it.

Of course you don't get it. Insulting people who really need it is like shooting fish in a barrel, you dork. [or, as the old joke goes, a real masochist says "hurt me." a real sadist answers, "No." ]

Not as dork as Io, who has failed to realize her "Friend" is constantly asking self: "Just how filthy and offensive do I have to GET before that (*&(*& (%*^% LEECH Io STOPS ASKING ME FOR RIDES! "

Nor as moronic as anyone who thinks top hats belong anywhere except in musical theater and bad comic/magicians. [This may be related to the connection between Hashi and Hashish...

That's a riddle...and it's quite clear unless one is opiumated.
I'm not one of the ones who think avatars suggest anything...or look for compliments...I wouldn't recommend asking them [or me] for the answer.

And really, Finnish Female Forenames may well be flattering. The problem is too many Finnish Females have ForeSKINS.

Not to mention that references to "Rocky Horror" should be left to the pro's [like Vader], no matter how dynamic your "tension" is, Eff.

More seriously [if you choose] I apparently push buttons without even knowing it, as if I had verbal fingers of independent and malicious will...and have a bizarre combination of one button connected to everything and infinite buttons connected to nothing.

And for christ's sake <---[notice: how some will think insult to atheists, some insult to jesus, some think it should at least me capital "C" and "J" for fuck's sake], why not insult "The Close"...yea...is that "don't come here if you value your sanity?" "Here there be close[d] minded bastards," or "Some of these folk are close to saying something adjacent to reality?"
?????<<<<<>>>>>?????

That pushed my laughing button!

[Lefdmae Deemalr Effaeldm]

That is because I do not recognize that person. I suppose the top hat and what appears to be a syringe leads me to think "Jack the Ripper". At a stretch it could also be someone's interpretation of Sherlock Holmes (or even Moriarty) but I honestly don't know.

I couldn't see anything at all except the side of a face and a hand until I stood up and looked down on my screen, then I saw the man, hat and syringe. Not Orson Wells is it? Looks a bit Third Manish.

Yes... and no - to both of you. Hashi, the thing is that I know that you know exactly the person on this avatar even if you don't know that you know

And, Io, perhaps you could use positioning your screen differently, some have very specific angles they're good at.

Did they have syringes like that in the 1880s? Mind you, they were vaccinating for smallpox in the 1860s so they must have had something.

An Internet search returns many fun pics of old medical torture devices and the information that syringes were used in Roman times and the ones with hollow needles able to pierce skin were developed in 1853.

Vraith,

shooting fish in a barrel

Oh, a convenient game, I like it.

Nope, Riddle is Voldemort, that's definitely not him And sure I was asking for compliments exactly here.

A De Lordy-sized troll will have a hard time trying to attack me with a stab about the lack of RHPS pro status

infinite buttons connected to nothing.

Perhaps. Cool visuals at least.

"don't come here if you value your sanity?" "Here there be close[d] minded bastards," or "Some of these folk are close to saying something adjacent to reality?"
?????<<<<<>>>>>?????

My what? And adjacent to what?

Well, of course they do, and chest hair. What are you, being a fricking moron??? This is exactly why we prefer huge, burly men that can wrestle bears with their bare hands, and go avanto swimming in -40C frost. A man must possess more balls than his cavewoman.

[Hashi Lebwohl]

Hashi, the thing is that I know that you know exactly the person on this avatar even if you don't know that you know

I am highly intrigued by this comment. It is almost as if you know more about me than I think you do....

Frosty, your sparkly vampires bringing up frequency starts to get suspicious.

And this almost sounds as if I'm some FBI/CIA/KGB/MIB agent/creepy stalker/all-seeing monster/etc. Not like I can guarantee I'm not any of those, but don't you think I should know about you what you told me?

In case that's your concern, the person on this avatar is not someone you know personally - but after what you said on the Watch earlier I almost expected you to recognize him, though he's quite a chameleon.

[Linna Heartbooger]

So, who is considered under threat here? I suggested about Io for the case you could be concerned she could be dragged to the evil side I haven't seen much anger and frustration yet, mostly people amused and curious.

Naah, I wasn't saying anyone was angry about this thread...

You ask who is considered under threat here?
...Ahhh, since you ask..
Pretty much all the human race.
All the time.
But maybe you meant something more specific.

Also, I'll note that Io is actually "racking up the points" on this thread - I counted at least 2 gracious responses to ribbing and at least 2 good zingers from her.

Frosty, lets hope so, when are we seeing the pics? Does it really have to do with steeples?

Well, Effy, here's a picture of how a typical evil mastermind is supposed to steeple his fingers..
I offer this instruction because I think you need it in case you ever attempt to seek "evil mastermind" status.

Actually, I think you could gain a lot by copying the modern literary/film traditions for the stereotypical ways of doing "bad guy" things.
Because you're just not gonna succeed in coming up with off-the-wall creative stuff for your evil genius persona(e) on your own.
You really are best off trying to copy someone else.



Also, this was great:

"don't come here if you value your sanity?"...

My what?

I might note that any juxtapositions of Vraith quotes with pictures of Montgomery Burns are entirely incidental.

Of course, it's a clever ruse meant to snare you into confessing your undying love and adoration of Edward Cullen! One day, when I have remarked enough upon certain matters, your unwitting reaction will be to start defending him and praising his beauty, that apotheosis of sparkly-warkliness...

[Lefdmae Deemalr Effaeldm]

You ask who is considered under threat here?
...Ahhh, since you ask..

All the time.

Well, that's a normal situation, everyday life. And I asked to know what your concern could be.

Well, Effy, here's a picture of how a typical evil mastermind is supposed to steeple his fingers..

I was picking on Frosty's word choice, it can be interpreted differently yet. See her reaction about the Urban Dictionary. And the gesture can be called a finger pyramid - if you want to avoid people finding some very unexpected interpretations - though I think I already found one for the finger pyramid as well, but quite a bit far-fetched one.

Also, this was great:

Thanks.

The scary part here is that I can quite easily do that - defend him and the like - after all, I haven't seen/read any Twilight, ain't I in a convenient position?

Well, my concern was about "triangulation"... one person going to another person to vent about a third person who they're frustrated with.

But notice that if I say, "I'm concerned that Iolanthe is going to turn into a drooling, slavering, ravenous monster reminiscent of Drool Rockworm if she continues to occasionally express her frustration about a friend of hers to a third party who doesn't even know that friend..."
...if I say that, Effy... I will be TRIANGULATING too!
So I'm in a bind.
I then become hypocrite, convicted of a crime by my own words.
...And plus I'd be triangulating incompetently too, because like.. Io can overhear me; this is the internet.
(Like my hyperbole, Io? )

See her reaction about the Urban Dictionary. And the gesture can be called a finger pyramid - if you want to avoid people finding some very unexpected interpretations - though I think I already found one for the finger pyramid as well, but quite a bit far-fetched one.

D'oh! You're right... she said "standard Dark Lord gesticulation"..
I'd forgotten that! Sorry, Frostheart.

[Iolanthe]

Oh yes, I do like a good hyperbole Linna.

What made me laugh so much is that my friend got very upset when I refused to go in her car because it stank, which is exactly the opposite of Vraith's comment, which I realise was not made in all seriousness. So, you see, I was not being too much of a hypocrite as I've already complained to her about it - although not about some of the other things I said as she is mentally very fragile.

Hey, it doesn't take hardly anything to get me wrestling bare! [or going commando in my kilts]
[I do have viking ancestors, maybe that's why...]
BTW, it was a freaking sissyGIRL who invented the sparkly vampire...probably cuz the silly wench couldn't get a good man to give her a sparkly ring.
The damn creature is being lusted after by 100 million dupes in 37 languages [heh...I bet you've read it in all 4 you speak!], so it's a big heaping stack of disingenuousness to spout off about american sissies, whatever their gender.

Linna, next time you "coincidentally" attach me to steeple fingered triteness, can you at least make it something evil with decent coiffure? [either the hairstyle or headgear definition is OK]
Otherwise, I'm coming for your buttons.

Hummm.
I considered escalating this one, but your threat is actually rather credible and specific, sir.

Edit: Wait... I just realized that that threat was just for me 'coincidentally' attempting to associate you with "steeple-fingered triteness."
I just realized you said nothing about comebacks...

What made me laugh so much is that my friend got very upset when I refused to go in her car because it stank, which is exactly the opposite of Vraith's comment, which I realise was not made in all seriousness.

Okay, yes... reading vraith's comment while knowing how things really went down would be HILARIOUS.

This is the only Twilight popular in my circles. Of course the sparklecrap's read in several languages, how else would we reach the anti-crowd in the nearby Äöåüland?? Also, four languages is for sissies. You clearly don't know your Finn facts, aside from some random scraps about womanly foreskins.

If they do speak, it will most likely be in the language you speak as they have some sort of psychic ability to realize that you are a foreigner and your native language is Punjabi. They then download this language from your brain and use it on you, thus saving you the challenges of actually learning the Finnish language.

Before Yanks prattle of Viking inheritance, at least go master the music genre first ! !

Bumped a certain thread.

[Vraith]

I officially and publicly bow down [this ONCE! don't anybody get to feeling uppity!] to Frosties last post.
The only shortcoming was it takes to long to follow everything...this is a button-pushing thread, not post-modernesque Wagnerian micropuscular deep analystic humour[us] dissection and reification.


[in other words, that was SweeEEET, Frostie.]

[Frostheart Grueburn]

Buahahaharrrhahahrrhaah.

Viking metal is post-modernesque Wagnerian micropus...whatnow? I thought it was mainly "GROAARRRRH skogens svaRRRRta möRRRRka djup MRAAAR" and entertaining enough for contemporary Nordic cavefolk, especially now that the remaining 5 hours of daylight* are too short a time to find polar bears in three meters of permasnow.

*this is not sarcasm

[Lefdmae Deemalr Effaeldm]

Hey, Frosty, looks like Twilight is actually good for something)

Spoiler

It did start the talk you got praised for.

Bumped a certain thread.

That was such a hint about my avatar. That thread is still on top, since it is, as a proper hiding place should, an obscure one not often viewed with a casual glance.

[Cozarkian]

Wow. Just wow. I came in here expecting an insightful essay explaining how hurtful and cruel it is to poke fun at a person for the enjoyment of others. Instead, I find that not only do all of you think that is acceptable behavior, you actually treat it as some sort of internet game.

All of you disgust me, none so more than Effaeldm, for the post suggesting Twilight might have any redeeming value.

Hey, just cuz you're some Watch Infant, doesn't mean anyone will be nice to you...especially in this thread...so don't go thinking you're some l'enfant terrible when you're probably just l'enfant IGNORABLE.
I mean...Cozarkian???
what's that mean? You Cosplay Noah's kids getting off the boat after GOD knows HOW long without a single shower, but non-stop cuddling with animals and their byproducts 24/6 [not 24/7, cuz on /7 you spent all day praying for a breath of fresh air...you weren't REALLY free of stench and labor, but you could complain about it out loud, and none of the other reeking creatures would take it personally...which is almost as good.

And this ain't no "play" [coz or otherwise] it is real

Spoiler

[bull]

shit!

So HAH! That's my ESSAY, and it didn't hurt me or cruelify me the slightest bit...
and SERIOUSLY [as essays must be] there's plenty of things more disgusting than Twilight, and Effe, [like folk who smell like "every species of animal butt." nudge nudge, wink, hammer in the skull]

All for your enjoyment...sort of...I mean, LOOK at yourself!
