The Cellars Greatest Hits
 
dhamsaic nominated a warch post here for top ten status on the cellar so I'm thinking how bout a greatest hits thread for the summer doldrums? Funniest one-liners, impenetrable rants, unreadable postings, shit storms, flames that sort of thing.

juju 08-30-2002 05:57 PM

How about the first time I got into an argument with Dave? :)

dave 08-30-2002 06:14 PM

That one falls under the "superbly well crafted and well reasoned, most thoroughly contemplated and thought-out posts" category, right? :)

elSicomoro 08-30-2002 08:51 PM

As posted by Dave in this thread in November:

"Oh yeah. I have a suggestion - on your tombstone, have inscribed 'Here lies WWARNER11, the fucking smartass.'"

That was classic...Dave has posted some gems.

Of course, so have I, but I'm not going to submit my own stuff. :)

elSicomoro 08-30-2002 09:08 PM

Hubris has also come up with some fantastic gems, like this humorous exchange with Griff from here:

Griff: "Shut up, pay yer taxes, and thank God you have betters who understand what art is."

HB: "Oh.

Why art man not say so first?

Ogg feel better now.

Ogg go make lunch now.

Cow meat on bread.

Good. Good.

Later, bang rocks together."

--
And then there was the extremist thread he created...man, that was good stuff.

Uh, yeah. Lol.

I think you came off as a complete raving madman. On the other hand, I look back at my post today, and can't decipher what in the hell I was thinking. I feel strangely compelled to reply to myself and start arguing with myself! So I think I can see why I provoked such a response. :)

juju 08-31-2002 01:28 AM

From here.

Simple as that.

Get some facts and back up your assertions. Or try and reason them out better.

Remember: criminals will *always* have guns. Period. Do you want your police chasing after them with butterknives?

And later on in the same thread..

Lol! No.. she doesn't talk down to Jag at all. Condecending? What?

juju 08-31-2002 02:46 AM

Here's some jewels from this thread.

Trying to hold Jag to a connected train of thought, a reasoned, principled position--to find out exactly what it is that he *is* saying--has proved elusive in most of the threads I've read he's been a part of...the moment he's challenged, and on the horns of a dilemma of his own making, the smoke machine turns on and there's nothing left but fog. The fragments of his stream-of-conciousness discourse mostly just don't add up. A half-remebered slogan, a value judgement shot from the hip, and he's off to the next thread.

and as I have stated before, I am not trying to get published - merely, I am trying to get a point across. Sometimes this is like ramming my head into concrete, or trying to explain nuclear physics to a five year old who is running around, fingers firmly implanted in ears, screaming "YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA". That five year old then, of course, turns around and attempts to decimate my arguments in the most condescending, holier-than-thou manner I've ever been unlucky enough to stumble upon.

jaguar 08-31-2002 02:54 AM

Ah...sweet memories....
Not.

I didn't need a reminder about the many hours i've wasted on here when i could have been doing someing constructive, like snorting wizz fizz.

juju 08-31-2002 03:35 AM

Wizz fizz?

Wizz fizz? Its like the coating on allot of lollies in pure form, in a bag, with a little spoon. Some people like to snort it coz it tingles like hell, i know a lawyer that does it with like its crack just to freak people out.

dave 08-31-2002 12:16 PM

I was going to point out Hubris' extremist thread. I've said before, and I'll say it again, that is probably what I consider <b>the</b> post on the Cellar. It was a beautiful thing. :)

I should also note that the spiders thing has since been debunked. It's a myth, my friends. Nothing more.

elSicomoro 08-31-2002 03:37 PM

Jag, you have become incredibly cranky lately. Lighten up man. :)

Griff and Tony's follow-ups to the extremist thread were great too.

The "Be a person" thread...heh...that was a blast. :)

Dave posted some gems in this thread too.

dave 08-31-2002 06:51 PM

HA! Man, I had forgotten about those. God Muse was an ass. :)

jaguar 08-31-2002 07:29 PM

I'm with dham, the extremist thread takes the cake.

BrianR 09-01-2002 11:01 AM

How far back can we go with this?
 
I mean, recent threads that can be viewed, anything back to the online debut? Or can we go back to the caveman days and nominate fun threads from days gone by? That only a handful of us actually remember? Maggie seems to have found the next Barak in jag. No one can replace Mike Smith (pause to laugh). Crystalline is only a name in the Saga now and RIP RichH.

So what's it going to be?

My memory is long, but system resources are short

Brian

Griff 09-01-2002 01:29 PM

Its free form Bri. Take it anywhere you can.

Under the heading two dogs on one bone, I'd say Mag-n-Jag get the award for sheer persistence. The gun thread is a lot more entertaining than I ever expected it to be.

Griff 09-01-2002 04:15 PM

The deja vous all over again award goes to Jag. Everybody wants a little short hand to figure out where folks are coming from... so we've seen the quiz four times now. recently here

warch 09-02-2002 07:38 PM

My vote for "classic" has to go to the Taxidermy girl- After I read that, I knew I'd like to stick around. (I'd make a link back to it if I knew how to use this thang.)

juju 09-02-2002 07:46 PM

You mean this thread?

warch 09-03-2002 06:20 PM

Yep, thanks, that's the one. That the kid's mom popped up was so cool and then the classic expanding spins through personal philosophy and religion.

Griff 09-04-2002 07:34 AM

I'd forgotten that one completely, great thread.

Nic Name 09-04-2002 08:41 AM

It's amazing how the Cellar reaches out and touches real people in real places like that. And it gets more usual as the membership and readership grows.

It is quite amazing that the other day when I post links in this thread to a couple of websites in Thailand about a teenager on yaa ba, and his teacher Sawatdee becomes the newest member and follows up right away in the very next post with a personal account.

Now, that's community!

Hubris Boy 12-14-2002 04:45 AM

Another plaque on the wall in the Cellar pantheon. I still haven't stopped laughing about this one.

elSicomoro 12-29-2002 11:37 AM

Another gem by HB

Griff 03-09-2003 08:35 AM

Dave breaks out the rubber hose.

wolf 04-02-2003 11:20 PM

Do-dooo-doo-do-dah-doo-dooo-dooo .....

headsplice 04-03-2003 05:20 PM

There was a topic a while back where HubrisBoy had a cloaking device that he broke, that should be in the list. I almost soiled myself reading that.

Good old fashioned smack-down from mrnoodle.

elSicomoro 10-16-2004 02:40 PM

Nice work, flippant...this was great.

flippant 10-16-2004 03:28 PM

Thanks Sycamore! (maybe I have finally made it to celebrity status as lookout may have been so wise as to project)

xoxoxoBruce 10-16-2004 11:27 PM

celebrity = target :eyebrow:

lookout123 10-17-2004 05:44 PM

my personal favorite was this one by sycamore, about 2/3's of the way down the page.

elSicomoro 10-17-2004 05:54 PM

Ah, yes...Radar...what a waste of humanity. I dedicated an entire thread to him last year.

elSicomoro 10-17-2004 06:01 PM

Oh, and thank you, lookout. I try to do my part. :)

wolf 12-02-2004 02:13 PM

My nominee for greatest hits ...

wolf 06-17-2005 02:05 AM

I am very much enjoying Lookout123's "Random Cellarite Facts."

They are funny, and cleverly tailored to the individual.

I am not just saying this because I am the Random Cellarite Fact o' the Day today.

I believe they deserve to be archived, because once a sig is changed it is gone forever.

lookout123 06-17-2005 02:07 AM

because i believe in full disclosure, i want to be perfectly clear that i am not making them all up from scratch(i'm not that consistantly creative). some of them have been altered from the VD site.

wolf, because you like that one, it will stay in place until Tuesday. that is when i will be back from Rocky Point, Mexico. I leave tomorrow morning for 4 days of sand, surf, margaritas, and general relaxation.

wolf 06-17-2005 02:22 AM

Awwwwwww.

Have fun on the trip.

breakingnews 06-17-2005 07:35 AM

I'm really glad you've continued using the VD site in ominous fashion, lookout.

I say that because my friends don't find it funny anymore. :( The fucking jerks. I should start plugging some of their names in, as well as *actual* information about their equally lame lives.

elSicomoro 06-17-2005 08:43 AM

Nice one, Brianna.

Trilby 06-17-2005 08:47 AM

:blush: Thanks. I'm honored. And a little choked up! :blush:

Big V puts a notch in his gunbelt.

When you reveal your sources like this, it makes it easier to refute your misstatements. Should I take it up with O'Reilly and Hannity about their mistakes? I will instead correct your misunderstanding, since you repeat their ignorance as your own. ouch
