    there is always going to be *something* that is going to incite/intice die hard fans.

    LOTR, Macs, Linux, BSD, Rocky Horror, ect.

    Especially the latter, if you think about it. I've seen it and was somewhere between mildy amused and not impressed.

    No matter how much you keep your mind open to possibilites, well, some things you'll never be able to explain...like riding a motorcycle..."If you don't know, I can't explain" pretty much sums it up.

    Oh, metamoderators out there, we need to keep an eye out a little more...some fuckwit with mod points keeps modding down funny comments. Overrated/troll seems to be "favorite" choice...puns, dry humor, mixed metaphores, seem to be beyond this person(s) sub 70 IQ. It almost approaches censorship'esque levels.
    If it is one person, his privelage needs to be revoked/rebuked, if it is many exibiting this moronic tendancy, it still does not make it right. Lack of a sense of humor is *thier* problem.

    Sorry for the rant, it has been bugging the shit out of me lately. Just because *you* don't get it/like it does not mean it is not funny.

    IMO (in Moose's opinion, naturally).

    Heh, I also had a funny comment to post, but the rampant idiocy lately has made me think twice. Pardon the egotistical comment, but you don't get an additional +1 bonus for being a fricking troll, now, do you?

    There, I feel better. Like pissing in the wind, yeah it is a bad/pointless endeavor, but sometimes you *just got to!*
