The Future of This BBS
Posted: Wed May 18, 2005 8:27 am
I've spent an inordinate number of hours out of the past 16 or so doing something which was originally intended to be a pointless, painless way of killing some time in my boredom-infested existence as I wait for the sun to go down so I can turn the blue lights and the fog machine on:
Masturbating.
But then in between bouts, I also tooled over here to the good ol' JC BBS and diddled away in the Best Of base, where I was struck with several startling realizations:
1. It has been nearly an entire year since any thread on this BBS even had the faintest whiff of being put into the Best Of base.
2. Holy crap, is there some funny, amazing, creative, fantastic, brilliant, unbelievable stuff in there. Stuff which took actual effort to put together, stuff with some real angry energy and harmful intent to it. Some really great stuff.
3. I was sad to have to leave that base and come back into the unlocked sections of the site. The "real world", if you will.
4. That Matedire, man. What a shitstain.
Therefore, I am here to implore you (I hesitate to use the word "demand" because I am fairly certain that Larry King will not give it to me), and also myself, to, in the immortal words of the guy who I've recently been reminded called Signs a better movie than Magnolia: PUMP IT UP!
Look, we've all got things going on in our own lives. Jonsey's settling into a new job, and also trying to make a small triangle change direction. Me, I'm busy hiding in a cube 10 hours a day playing with thumbtacks and inventing fictitious women. Vitriola is trying to mate snakes with cats. Worm is AIMing me about Pyro II and random porn links all day. Lysander's blind.
But come on, people. PUMP IT UP. You all know me. You all know that life to me is an endless nightmare from which my only brief respites are sleep, glorious sleep, and the moment that first pint of rum drips lovingly down my godforsaken throat. But it would make me happy... yes, actually, stunningly, improbably happy if we could come up, somehow, with a thread in the next month or so, worthy of being posted there among the greats in the Best Of base.
I know you -- we -- can do it. It's been done before. Granted, not without a firm disagreement about a movie between Robb and I, or else Knuckles retelling a story about being served bad food by sourpus waitstaff with skin conditions. But as sure as the sun is going to set tonight, and Lysander is blind LOL!!, I know we can make it happen.
Can we make it happen?
Let's make it happen, okay?
