Hello Everybody

Been reading TDWTF for a while*, only recently found out there was a forum. Not that's it's hard to find, I just suck at the interwebs, and this little doohickey that... what did he call it? a Hamster, I think. Yeah, and I finally figured out how to move the hamster cursor and click the proper link.

Anyways I better mention that my posts are likely to be TRWTF in and of themselves much of the time, often changing a conversation from Data recovery software to the size of Patrick Stewarts testicles or something else equally inappropriate.I'd post a link to a sample of such ridiculous crap but It will reveal my true identity, and I'm not ready to know myself yet.

Also! Preemptive snarky comment about my avatar. Yes, that IS the letters "VB" on there. It stands for something else. I swear. Wait no, it's supposed to say VD... yeah, that's the ticket. To make matters worse I use VD6... (that being said it is possible to make non-WTF programs with it; although Vista and now 7 are making this insanely difficult and requiring my abilities with C/C++ to force Visual Basic** to recognize things it never was designed to do, to make the run-time scream out in mercy "no more!" and then crash back to the desktop without and error report because I used SetErrorMode() to change the error mode, and then declare the project a success.

*"while" in this context means a few weeks. Hey, I'm livin' in Hamster time. (the similarities to "hammer time" have caused some uncomfortable and awkward moments)

** Sorry. It slipped out. I of course meant to refer to VD. Apologies to all whose eyes might have been seared by the juxtapose.

Where's that implied facepalm demotivator again?

DOA

We wore that out back in the MPS days.

hmmm. avatar isn't showing up. Oh well. Probably for the best. Of course now thefirst post is just me rambling about something that can't be seen.

masterplansoftware was definitely a character and appears to have caused many a "scuffle"... I'd say he was trolling, but then Morbius or someone will say "it's not trolling, dumbass" or something along those lines. I will reply with a quote from a dictionary, which will be shot down because "Canadian English doesn't count", and it will then become a nitpicking session over grammar.

Anyways... perhaps for the sake of appearing daft... what's the facepalm demotivator?

It's not trolling, dumbass!

In other news,

heh, gotcha ;)

I will also say that Community Server is one of the strangest forum implementations I've ever experienced. (Although to be fair I once mistook a African Pygmy for a gummy bear. Not that that's related, just had to get it off my chest.)

If this is "real" life, where the heck is the decimal?

I smell a bad katy (NSFW) troll.

wait- what would being legit entail?

I managed to restrain myself from another outburst here. This is harder then it looks.

google for my screen name and lurn moar. (because I'm a loose cannon and I'll likely start explaining it and suddenly go off on a tangent about misaligned table legs or something).

I just realized I have made a critical error for my first post. I was [i]supposed[/i]to post a link to "my website" or something, and then when everybody rightly calls spammer I call everybody asshats, or something to that effect, and then claim I have better skillz even though I continue to use "lolcats" grade spelling and grammar.

I apologize for not following the unsaid rule that dictates this method of introduction.

Either this is all a work, in which case I find you unfunny and I hate you, or you are being sincere, in which case I find you unfunny and I hate you.

Did you actually Google him? I'm far too lazy to give a shit.

I didn't; normally I contract out my stalking to btk. But what the heck, I'm a handsome, industrious guy; I'll do it myself...

Let's see, the first thing that comes up is this thread. That's not very useful.

Next, we find that he was having trouble with his Sony Walkman MP3 player. Ew, WTF? Who has a Sony MP3 player? Maybe it was just years ago when MP3 players were new and--

<font size="2" color="#000000"><font size="1" color="#800080">posted 08-11-08 02:45 PM ET (US) </font></font>

Moving on to his profile on that same site, we can see that he is "lacktoes intolerant. [He] can't stand people with no toes." Hilarious. Also, his location is billed as "Nanaimo B.C" which is some operation on the C member of the B class, or in Canada, home to Lingerance, SpecatateSwamp, and Welbog. This would explain a lot.

Apparently he participates in Folding@Home, which is so boring I won't even link to it.

Next, we find that at computerhope.com, he is listed as a "Sage", presumably because he is a good herb to use with fatty meats and Derby cheese. He also uses the same unfunny signature on that site, too. Aw, it seems we've missed his birthday this year. Also take the opportunity to examine his computer specs. He has a SoundBlaster X-Fi XtremeGamer sound card, which will come in handy for the next site.

Yes, that's right, he needs that sound processing power to handle the decade-old Age of Empires, where he started another introduction thread, albeit a more coherent one. Also from this thread, we learn:

<font size="2">I can't any of the options

I hope he didn't also accidentally the whole thing.</font>

Well, if nothing else, he has a good eBay rating, so that's something, right?

And that's it. That's everything (not counting this illuminating site in some made-up language) there is to know about this guy. What have we learned? He's not interesting, he's not funny, he enjoys video games so old they were originally designed for Windows 95, and I hate him.

dear god... spectateswamp is in Canada?

I also wish I could read that "made-up" language.

bstorer you are also my new idol. That was awesome.

This thread is a Community Server WTF. It comes up unread every goddamn time I log in. I want to read more juicy stuff.

TRWTF is that the post above is the one that always comes up new after spam gets deleted.
