Regurgitating the same lame inside joke stuff over ad nauseum is starting to get old. All this crap is ending up in the hockey forum and it's getting old. And yes, I realize that this will spur some of you cretins on to do it more.

As you were.

New jokes will come. Patience young grasshopper.

People who use green to denote sarcasm are worse than Hitler. Seriously.

I've always felt that the green text is for easing in newer or lurking posters who aren't automatically given the benefit of the doubt that longer-tenured posters like Fotze are so that we don't blow up or ban people for stupid comments right away.

They are like training wheels.

I hate that Calgarypuck has hockey and softball teams named after the site, comprised of members of this board. No offense, but those people are pretty lame, what a stupid bunch of idiots.

The problem is, is there is always someone who after being smacked over the head with the sarcasm mallet still won't figure it out. That's why some people choose to write in green in the first place.

CARRADINE!!

this guy is a complete joke, he knew nothing about martial arts before he took the role in Kung Fu. And now he acts like he revolutionized Martial Arts.

I was at a Martial Arts convention (I know, who the hell goes to those things!) and he was there signing autographs, the line up was huge and i was wondering what was up, so i walked up to the front and there he is, old as hell and signing his name to whatever was brought up, the trouble was he didnt look at anyone, at any point. He was wearing these huge ridiculous Hollywood glasses and just kept his head down signing away. Fans would wait an hour to get up in the line to get a pic and an Autograph and the guy wouldnt even look at the camera or reply to the fans, he just kept signing and throwing the item back at the fan, like a production line robot.

I HATES David Carradine!

There have been a lot of "I hate this" or "this annoys me" posts about CP lately. What has everyone so wound up that a message board is causing them undo stress?

Religious/Anti Religious Zealotry. Is this CP's new motto: Pick a side and fight about it forever?

The economy's in such great shape, I don't know why anyone would feel stressed now.

For me there were two parts to his roll in KungFu. There was the martial arts aspect and there was the spiritual aspect. Carradine played the calm monk very well, he rarely showed anger. I don't see Bruce Lee as the calm monk type.

The problem as I see it is that there are some people on this board on this board who are very funny.

But there are many on this board who are not funny. So what happens, funny person says something funny and then 100 posters imitate that funny thing until it gets beaten to death old.

You can't restrict people from trying to be funny on a message board as you can in real life. Jackoff unfunny guy who thinks he's a riot is ostracized quickly in a group of real people. Unfunny person on the internet can keep blathering on with no consequences.

It bugs me when somebody posts something and then goes back and changes it to 'nm'. If you are going to say something then stick with it. Sheesh...

I agree, I hate the fata mongers, and I hate the green text.

But I will not stand by and allow you to bash hookers and blow. Hookers are people just like you and me, except they survive on blow and must perform sexual favours to attain said blow. If they happen to share this blow through out the course of the evening, OR if you supply the blow during the evening, then you have won over a hookers heart sir.

Or at least post why you said "nm." Like if I go and post something to prove another person wrong, and by the time I'm done posting 4 others have said the same thing, I should say "nm- was said better by Hoot above."
