Its a watch-setable event, really. Something momentous happens in the world of politics and evil rears it's mop-headed maw to chime in with "scathing" wit and a "biting" retort or 7. Nothing anymore on the contribution front save the odd tangential story about a river save from chin deep in the house's *******.
Mention another's name and, regardless of the time that has passed since his last meaningful contribution, he is there in an instant, called by the great bat light that is a reference in the Asylum to add yet another auto-erotic ****** of a post to the lexicon of bored lore.
The un-holy trinity wouldn't be complete without Di[/b]ck. Tom and Hairy are fun to play with sometimes, but Di[b]ck's the one that can really do some damage, right? I mean, if you really have to get your movie reviews from a gaming site's Way The F[b][/b]uck Off Topic board, it may as well be from someone who has proven in the past that they once had something relevant to say, right? How can you argue with artistic criticism from a man (?) whose claim to fame is calling himself an Alabama negro for 2 years and inciting a board riot out of 12 year old FFXI players?
Yet these are the three that are singled out as the great heroes of the OOOT/Asylum hierarchy. They are immortalized in the sentimental manner we reserve for people like Mohammed Ali and Christopher Reeve. Their accomplishments so mythologized in our selective memories that they are unassailable.
The sad truth is that they are no more immortal than Joe Montana, taking a last run at glory with the Kansas City Chiefs. No more potent than Ricky Henderson tripping from one minor league club to the next, refusing to give in to what the rest of us have known for some time now: that the careers of distinguished warriors can be tarnished by not leaving at the top of their game.
Watching the shell of a great competitor is just painful. Find the chunk of ice and push yourself off in to the sea. Stake yourself in battle when you are no longer able to contribute to the tribe. Retire and let the lore of your deeds grow. Don't saddle us with the burden of watching you fade out like a spent fire's last glowing ashes.

That's why I strive for mediocrity, knowing that so long as my fame is based on a whole lotta posts and being here a long time, it can never be taken away from me.

Coincidence that one is a punch dummy and the other a quadriplegic? I think not.
I sometimes find it quite funny who gets lumped in with the "good 'ol boys" of past posters. For instance, Pickleprince. He was no wheres near a great poster. He had some good one-liners, I'll allow. But for the longest time I could barely tolerate him. Then, when I finally got used to him, or rather numbed enough to where my stomach didn't turn when I saw his name, he disappeared in a puff of pachuli and pumpkin seeds.
Now he's often mentioned in tones of reverence. Hell, I should disappear for a while, even I could become one of the missed ones mentioned in whispered veneration.
But then what would I do at work all day?

All that effort when you could have just said:
"Be gone 'has-beens' and do not disturb the rose coloured lenses of my nostalgia glasses!"
Well if you can't be pretty you can at least be verbose.

Thanks for the update there Sparky, next you'll be telling us Rick James is dead.

Whoa there, Shemp, easy! I didn't do it. I only do that in extreme cases of ***-hattery trolling and I promise you it wasn't me. It's not my style, bro. Shemp is hella cooler than Curly-Joe, anyhoo. If you were a true Stoogephile, you would know that!
I will say, though, I've been around a long time. I just prefer quality over quantity when it comes to posting - mediocre quality, but quality mediocreness. #

Smoggy, is it ok to cut and past from the guild boards?
Sarcasm is lost on the interwebs.
I know it wasn't you, ya big galoot. That's why it was funny.

Er, better let me know what you want to paste over here - I thought of pasting something I thought was funny, but others may not, heh. I didn't want to **** off the guildies...
I actually thought it was a good read, Moe - if only to nag those bastards into sticking around more often. And then, enticing them into playing WoW with us.

hehe, I adore Smoggy, but sometimes I just want to pat him on the head and assure him that everything is going to be ok. Smoggy hon, when you read something that one of us wrote that seems a bit off, you should stop and ask yourself what the likelyhood is that we're being serious...since we so rarely are. Just for future reference, if there is a chance that I'm just teasing you, you're best off assuming it is so.

I wasn't taking Moe seriously, not after that time he said he was dying! He got me on that one.
And I certainly don't care if I'm karma camped or anything by any means - I just wanted to make sure Moe knows I wouldn't do such a petty thing. Again, I liked his op! I thought it had a certain Frank DeFord-style to it. And it's a two-way street, Nexa - sometimes folks don't know when I'm teasing either! Hence my overabundant use of icons for goofiness sake.
*sigh...Too many hits to the head as a small child, I guess. They did tell me the hammer was not a toy...
