I own this bitch.

I am now the last recorded post-er on over 50% of this site's forums.

Can anyone challenge me as Lord of Jolt Country?

Like a Jap winning the All-american Coney Island hotdog-eating contest, me, a "JC" outsider, have taken over and warped this place into my own nightmarish vision.

JOIN ME OR DIE!! CAN YOU DO ANY LESS???

Grammar has no place in my world of pain.

... but not nearly "Undisputed Lord of Jolt Country" territory. You think yourself prolific? Look at the benchmark set by Jonesy: OVER 1/3 OF THE TOTAL POSTS. His reply rate borders on Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. And we're only talking about this BBS. Ain't the only place the man posts, son.

I am seriously in awe of ICJ's output. I type a few lines to a month-dead thread of his on Groucho.org, and he responds within a day or so with something unique and witty. Unique and witty enough to completely rule out the possibility that "Ice Cream Jonesy" is simply a few hundred meg of erudite Perl scripts put together by some grad student working on AI research and natural language processing. As such a torrential and voluminous correspondence might suggest.

Mark my words: from the quantity and quality of his posts, and the relative permanence of text typed into the internet, you and I and the world will live to see a hardcover multivolume set of "I, Ice Cream Jonesy: The Collected Posts, Authoritative and Unexpurgated Version" up on Amazon.com, right after the Oxford University Internet Literature people collate them in 2050. Like that 100-volume set of Euler's papers. Yeah.

No offense intended, but the bottom line is that "Last post by:" is ephemeral and transitory. "37.4% of all posts" is the sort of thing that has motherfucking permanence.

Is "this bitch" up for grabs? If so, I own this bitch. In the name... of Pain!

You got that right! Jonsey is the ONLY person I know that can write code all day and STILL spew forth his (semi) private life for all to know.

I could be three sheets to the wind and still not write about half as much of my life as RobB does in a week.

In fact, I AM three sheets to the wind right now, (gin rickeys, MMMMmmm!)

Look, Not that he's up on a pedestal or anything, He just can live his private life online, something that I could just not do. Beware of mudslides, eh? O.K. drink is a- calling..
must go.

Anyone know William Sylvanius Baxter? booth Tarkington?

It's easier to do such a thing when you have no wife, kids, girlfriend or, really, any sort of family that is affected by the events and pictures described on-line.

In fact, I view my transparent divide between my on-line handle and my real name as much the same way that Matt Murdoch views his life as the costumed crimefighter known as "Daredevil." Essentially:

(When asked by his girlfriend, Karen Page, when he plans on stopping jumping off rooftops and beating people up:)

DD: "I guess when I... when we... have a child. I always assumed to quit when there was a kid to think about."

KP: "Really?"

DD: "Sure. It's one thing to have you waiting home for me, hoping I come back alive. I mean, you're an adult -- you're aware of what I do... and you still choose to be involved with me. A kid, on the other hand, wouldn't have a choice. An infant couldn't say my night job was "suicidal" and leave me for another parent. It'd be stuck with me as a dad. When I make the decision to be a parent, I think I owe it to my child to be there for it, as long as it needs me. I'd say that leaves vigilantism out for good. Besides -- there are more than enough costumes in this city to pick up the slack. Spider-Man alone could cover the Kitchen in my place."

OK, there's some differences, obviously, and Karen in the above case goes on to convince Matt not to give up being Daredevil, but I'm not doing anything as important as fictional crime fighting. I would have hated it if my dad worked in the quirks of me taking my first dump on a toilet to his internet friends, so I certainly hope that I will be able to afford my eventual kid the same level of privacy in a digital world.
