Taco you fucking suck. Slashdot has gone downhill. Why don't you start monitoring your website? Instead you try to code the monitor into Slashcode, which only causes the trolls to work even harder.
If you would just accept that any post at -1 is a troll and leave it at that, this website would be much much better.
Has anyone else noticed that fucked up ad from IBM at the top of Slashdot? Rather than being the standard size its almost a square, with a scroll bar? This is either another example of poor Slashcode or VA's way to get past all those ad filters. WHICH IS IT TACO?!
I think Taco should give me complete control over Slashdot. As my first responsibility I'd have Jon Katz shot. Then we'd go from there. Who is with me?!
True, but at least she's not as hideos as Taco's mom. I can't even bring myself to post a picture of this hideous hag. Suffice to say that she's most frequently seen on Stileproject. Its kinda sad, really.
Actually that was my perspective of yourself, Ubertroll, after I pulled out of you. Remember, I was wearing the black leather Nazi uniform. I greased up my arm to the elbow and made you call me the Tower of Power all night! That was a good night, wasn't it?
Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I'm a woman's man: no time to talk.
Music loud and women warm, I've been kicked around
since I was born.
And now it's all right. It's OK.
And you may look the other way.
We can try to understand
the New York Times' effect on man.
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother,
you're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin',
and we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive.
Life goin' nowhere. Somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah.
Life goin' nowhere. Somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah. Stayin' alive.

Sounds to me like Cowboy Neal has gotten sick of Taco telling him to stop watching anime and to go code. So here he is, trying to find a list of excuses to stall so he can watch *one more* episode of Cowboy Beebop.
CALHOUN FALLS, SC--Garry Melcher's plans to have sexual intercourse at last weekend's DragonCon 2001 were unsuccessful, the 27-year-old comic-book collector and science-fiction fan conceded Tuesday.
Above: Melcher stands alone in the Dealers Hall.
"I was really hoping to meet some ladies at DragonCon for a little of the old horizontal bop," said Melcher, who has been unwillingly celibate for the last 17 months. "It didn't really pan out, though."
Billed as "America's largest annual convention for fans of sci-fi, fantasy and horror, comics and art, games and computers, animation, science, music, television, and films," DragonCon 2001 was held at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Atlanta from Aug. 31 to Sept. 3. Unfortunately, not one of the convention's 20,000-plus attendees was willing to copulate with Melcher at any point during the four days of the event.
"I drove down to Atlanta with my best friend Andy [Razowsky], but I opted against sharing a hotel room with him, just in case I ended up needing a little privacy," Melcher said. "In fact, I was even thinking of going to DragonCon just by myself, to do a lone-wolf sort of thing."
According to Melcher, women in his hometown of Calhoun Falls "wouldn't know the Green Lantern from the Green Arrow." As a result, he has not had a date since former girlfriend and longtime Illuminati: New World Order opponent Carrie Lenz broke up with him in March 2000.
"I know a lot of girls online, but that's not really the same," Melcher said. "I needed to see some face to face."
Melcher said he was greatly looking forward to DragonCon, which offers attendees many opportunities to socialize. Events this year included three dances--the Classic Style Gothic Industrial dance on Friday, '80s New Wave on Saturday, and Electronic Body Music, Synth-Pop, and Modern Gothic-Industrial on Sunday--as well as unofficial dances and drum circles each night on the Hyatt Regency's Pool Deck.
"The whole week before DragonCon, people on the Internet bulletin boards were posting messages about different parties they'd be throwing," Melcher said. "They were all like, 'Anyone can come. It's in Room 645 Sunday night. See you there!' I hadn't been to a party in a while, so I was pretty psyched."
As DragonCon approached, Melcher found himself daydreaming about some of the possible convention scenarios that might lead to sexual congress.
"I imagined some girl and I talking about the new Lord Of The Rings movie," Melcher said. "Then I could say, 'Oh, I have the trailer on my laptop back in my hotel room if you want to see it. I was also thinking it'd be really cool if I was up against some girl in a trivia contest, and it came down to us battling it out neck-and-neck... I could definitely see things getting heated in a situation like that."
Added Melcher: "The crazy thing is, I did actually wind up entering a trivia contest. Unfortunately, I got knocked out on the first question. I should've known [Angel cast member] Andy Hallett's hometown was Osterville, MA."
Above: A trio of DragonCon 2001 attendees, one of whom, significantly, is a woman.
Upon arriving at DragonCon, Melcher found himself disappointed in the dating pool, noticing a gender ratio decidedly skewed toward males.
"I guess girls aren't into dragons and superheroes as much as guys are," Melcher said. "That fact really hit me when I first walked into the main exhibition hall: Talk about a total sausage fest."
Though a distinct minority, some females were present at DragonCon.
"There was this one girl dressed up like Black Canary. She had the boots and the fishnet stockings and everything," Melcher said. "I couldn't really talk to her, though, because there was a pretty dense crowd of guys around her at all times."
Melcher's luck did not improve, even when he attended events more likely to draw females.
"Andy and I went to this Sailor Moon thing because we knew girls would be there," Melcher said. "Make no mistake--we do not like Sailor Moon. The animation totally sucks."
At the Sailor Moon symposium, Melcher finally spoke to a number of women in the target 18-to-30 age group. The women, however, were only interested in talking about Sailor Moon.
"This one girl asked me if I wrote fan fiction, and I said yes," Melcher said. "That worked pretty well until she started asking me which Sailor Scout was my favorite."
Subsequent efforts to meet women were similarly unsuccessful. Saturday evening, Melcher attended a special get-together in the Hyatt Regency's Colonel's Room. The event was populated with dozens of long-haired, middle-aged men and a handful of drunk, heavily made-up 15-year-old girls. The following night, Melcher attended a party he had heard about in an online chat room. Held in Hyatt Regency Suite 239, the party consisted of 20 people discussing comic books as They Might Be Giants' Lincoln blared on a boombox.
"It was an awesome party, but I was nervous about not knowing anyone, so I ended up drinking way too much," Melcher said. "I distinctly remember talking to this one girl who actually did inking on the last Batgirl series--right before I puked off the balcony."
"The next day, Andy had to drive the whole way home while I slept in the back seat," Melcher said. "Oh, well, I guess there's always DragonCon 2002."

I already have a dress on, so there!!
Good lord he's an ugly fucker. I'd be a recluse too if I looked like that! Yuck!
I think Taco should give me complete control over Slashdot. As my first responsibility I'd have Jon Katz shot. Then we'd go from there. Who is with me?!
True, but at least she's not as hideos as Taco's mom. I can't even bring myself to post a picture of this hideous hag. Suffice to say that she's most frequently seen on Stileproject. Its kinda sad, really.
I call your mom and she comes over.
True, my Italian heritage and lack of showering pretty much makes me greasy all over. But I save a fortune on the KY bill!!
Actually that was my perspective of yourself, Ubertroll, after I pulled out of you. Remember, I was wearing the black leather Nazi uniform. I greased up my arm to the elbow and made you call me the Tower of Power all night! That was a good night, wasn't it?
I think the best way to explain myself is this:
Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I'm a woman's man: no time to talk.
Music loud and women warm, I've been kicked around
since I was born.
And now it's all right. It's OK.

Hmmm...what could be the mysterious connection between your ass and chicken?
Never thought to. Although now that I think about it, haven't I seen you shopping at that same Piggly Wiggly?
I think your post pretty much sums up a post by a fag AC. Come back when you're wrist isn't so limp.
What kind of love are you inquiring about. Eros or agape?
I buy it at the half-off section of the Piggly Wiggly!

Sssmmmmmmmmmmmmmoooooooch! Hmmmm...tastes like chicken!
I want to pleasure you in so many ways, Ubertroll. Allow me to reach up your poopchute and squeeze your uberprostate like I'm juicing an orange!!!
Hey ubertroll, whats the haps?

I think Taco is a troll. I bet he's part of Spork Nation.
Truly an American icon.
Because Slashcode is gay beyond belief.
