A Conversation with MyselfFollow

A dark, smoky living-room. A young man stands in front of a computer, and un-lit joint in his hand, and a un-lit cat on his laps.



- You spin my head right round, right round, when you go down, when you go down down...
- Mate, stop singing that song... It sucks!
- I know, but I’ve had it stuck in my head all day. It was on all the bloody time in Israel...
- How about you post that ding thread, then? You’ve been stuck on 5,999 posts for 2 weeks now…
- I’m not sure what to write…
- What about that idea you had, you know, of finding a song, re-working the lyrics so it fits into an Asylum/OOT theme, and then playing it on the guitar? And then you could film it and do a funny little video, put it on youtube and just post the link?
- Yeah, but I can’t find a good song that I can play on the guitar and that can be re-worked easily. Also, it sounds like a lot of work. So maybe I’ll keep that idea for the 10k.
- Bah, it’s not like 10k matters anymore than 6k, now that the titles have gone...
- Yeah, but following that logic, it's not like any ding thread matters at all... 10k is still something.
- True, but by the time you reach 10k half of the forum will have passed away of old age.
- Well, then it’ll be a requiem!


The young man stretches his arms up to the sky, scratches his head, scratches his cat, and looks for a lighter



- Fine. What about some stupid film/play scenario thing?
- Nah, I always do those. I want to do something new.
- What about a thread where each poster is a country? So… like… Nobby could be Greece, cos he’s old, and cultured, and struggling to adapt to modernity…
- That’s a bit mean….
- I know, but it’s a joke. And Gbaji could be North Korea, irritating, paranoid, always seeing conspiracies everywhere, and Varrus would be Guinea, rich, awful vales, but always good to look at when you wanna feel better about yourself.
- Or he could be Chad, pointless, landlocked, and completely cut off from reality.
- That’s a bit mean to the people of Chad…
- True. Who’s France, then? Arrogant, rude, know-it-all, but once you get to know it you can’t help but like it?
- Smash?
- Yeah, Smash could work. Or BT.
- Nah, BT would be more like Cambodia: there’s some really fucked-up stuff in there, but all in all it’s a pretty cool place.
- Hehe, Gabji is soooo Morocco: long, dry, predictable, and obsessed with conspiracies.


The young man finally finds a lighter, and lights up his joint



- Samira would be Easter Island: hot, mysterious, and full of wisdom.
- Ok, this is silly. Think of something else.
- Hi guys, what’s going on in here?
- What the @#%^? Who invited him?
- My bad, sorry, I lit up a joint.
- Awww, dude!
- Sorry.
- Soooo, what’s going on in here? Thinking and procrastinating and whatnot?
- Just ignore him.
- I am.
- Come on guys, I can help! I always have good ideas! Like the time we made everyone into a French person! That was fun, wasn’t it!? Or otherwise we could just fuck it and browse ****! Or play Warcraft! Tweet might be online and we could play some arena, also we got the new Furious Mooncloth Pants all gemmed up, so…
- I told you not invite him, he’s just distracting…
- Ok, ok, ok, no prob, what about a thread where you talk about the trip to Israel and Palestine, and you put pics, and how it changed your point of view and stuff? Good, no?
- No, because we don’t have pics yet, the battery in my digital camera was broken, so we used the old camera with the old rolls of films, but we took 7 rolls, and it will be expensive to develop. I'm totally broke.
- When do you get paid?
- Monday.
- What until then, and then do the thread?
- Nah, I wanna post stuff before then. Like the Cap and Trade thread, I wanna write that I think a carbon tax would be better. And the one about cat names in the OOT, I think Ernesto is a cool name, and also the one about children suicide bombers, there’s stuff to say in that one too.
- Hmmm…
- Guys?
- Hmmm...
- Guys??
- What??
- What about we write all this sh*t as a ding thread?
- Hmm?
- Well, this conversation. We write it down, and bam! Thread done!
- How would that be any good?
- It’s perfect! That way, you indirectly write a bit about other posters, a bit about yourself, it’s also an insight into the way you think, all bundled-up in a slightly surreal, post-modernist, semi-schizophrenic wrapping paper! And it’s quite easy, so we can do it now and then go browse ****! Or play Warcraft, maybe Tweet is online and…
- You spin my head right round, right round, when you go down…
- Anyone else feeling a bit peckish??
- I can’t help but feel it’s a bit of an easy way out.
- And someone is bound to complain that all these colours make their eyes bleed.
- My money's on Joph.
- I want some bacon. Also, write about bacon in the ding thread. Everyone likes bacon. I want some bacon. Bacon, bacon, bacon!
- The End.

You should bounce red you and purple you, they're just holding you back from being what you were born to be.

I guess what I'm saying, Red, is that you should kill yourselves.

P.S. Grats etc.

Are you coming on to me?

07700 900267

Aww, welcome back! I missed you. Garts, etc.

Fun Fact #0287690238760239875: Using the FFXI skin, that post is completely unreadable.

Congrats!

I have a 1k ding coming up and for the life of me I can't think of a damn thing to write about. Maybe I'll just ignore it and no one will notice my lack of creativity.

I'm glad that Redphoenixxx is back from one of his many exciting vacations this year. Excited and overwhelmed with jealousy.

mmmm, bacon. There's a whole subreddit for bacon. I'd post a picture, but I don't have premium at the moment :(

grats and all that.

Aren't conversations with yourself a bit passé for an asylum?

I only read enough of this to remember how stupid I sounded, posting philosophical self-analytical ruminations while stoned, also.

Nah. Red gets a pass cuz conversations with a French accent are filled with teh sexy.
