He speaks more softly, but he carries the same big stick.

And he still has his blog--somewhere. I think he was moving it to a different server last I checked.


So am I the only clueless person who doesn't know gad's new incarnation??? And I thought I knew his style so well.

Ok, I guess..... PLUTARCH.

Well, I always like finding out that other people don't have the massive amounts of willpower I imagine them having and wish I had. ("heh")

Next thing I know you'll be telling me EA posts here under a new incarnation, too.

Sethbag, I liked the one quote you had by Kemara--what was it? Something like "Congratulations, you just scored 100% on the stupid scale" It always gave me a chuckle when I'd read it.

Actually, I don't know why Charity wanted you to remove her comment. I'd take it as a compliment if someone quoted me in their signature line--It means You've Arrived! Most of us rack up the posts with little or no feedback from others, never knowing if anyone even reads what we write.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it something like, "Congratulations, you've just scored 99 out of a 100 on the Stupid Scale"?

Depends on who's doing the sig line quoting. I, for example, was immortalized in Juliann's sig line (out of context no less). I've been sick ever since.

The Charity quote that was ninja-modded a few weeks ago was basically Charity explaining that it's possible for someone to want something to be true enough that they find ways of convincing themselves, or something like that. It was 100% pure cast bronze irony. Of course, she meant it to apply to critics, and just stepped in it.

One of my all-time favorite quotes that I had of Hammer, which served faithfull duty for a couple months or so before I rotated it out, was Hammer explaining that there had never in fact been a credible moon landing. It was in the context of defending a statement of a former prophet or apostle who had said man wouldn't land on the moon or something like that. I'd have to look it up to find the exact quote again. Pretty seriously funny stuff though.

I agree. I took it--and still take it--as the ultimate compliment that The Dude has me quoted in his signature line at MA&D. Even DCP commented on it, which was icing on the cake.

I guess that I can no longer really see it as much of a compliment, since I have been "sigged" so many times by various posters, including DCP (multiple times), Will Schryver, Sput, and some others, if I'm not mistaken....

This really deserves its own thread, but Scratch will certainly appreciate it.

To clarify, it was the ultimate compliment to be sigged by The Dude. If I'd been sigged by any other MA&Dite, it wouldn't be quite the same achievement.
