    • Don't use asterisks for emphasis.
    • Learn to spell.
    • Never use asterisks for emphasis.
    • Learn to spoof a user in less obvious ways - that grayed icon next to the name is sooo lame. And a period at the end?!?! X|
    • DO NOT use asterisks for emphasis
    • Be creative - you already did the whole "John is a fag" thing in a previous thread. Writing on the walls is cool, in a sort of anarchist way; painting the walls with a crayon is lame.
    • Did i mention the asterisks? Don't use them. Especially not for emphasis.
    • Learn to copy/paste HTML code. Here's a hint: JS doesn't end his sig with </td></tr>.
    • About those asterisks you seem to think you can use for emphasis - you can't.

    Hope these help you become a less lame-and-boring troll. Oh, and lose the asterisks.

              You guys go right ahead and refuse to use your *butts*. While you're showing off your co*ks to attract attention, I'll be making money with my *butt* because I used *lubricants* that helped me get my butt smoother and with more gloss that my clients have come to expect from me. I personally take great pains to *format* my ass so that it's easy to use, and it's sometimes heavily polished, but that doesn't make the *butt* any better or worse (but it does make it more easily maintainable). There are times when I don't like my ass either, and there's a lot of stuff I could have done better, but using it for the sake of *shitting* is pure folly (unless you have something better with which to replace it). Vaginas have their place, but as a replacement for a perfect ass like mine, it's not viable nor conducive to pure sexual pleasure. You can't rely completely on vaginas any more than you can completely rely on breasts or mouths to do the entire job. Nothing replaces good old fashioned get-yer-hands-dirty masturbation, but if there's a way to eliminate some of the tedium of the job, I try buttsat every opportunity. I value *male butts* because I can have a well-targeted *orgasam* in as little as 20 seconds.

                Why are you posting anonymously? It makes absolutely no sense to do so in the Soapbox because you're allowed to be as big of an asshole as you care to be without worrying about being called out on the carpet by management (as long as you don't let it spill over into the other forums). Being an anonymous asshole doesn't make any point at all, it just makes you look stupid. Beyond that: A) Everyone can see the "shaded head" icon next to the name you used, which is a pretty good indication that the post was not authored by yours truly B) Everyone knows I don't write that way, so you're just wasting your time. C) Stop being a chickenshit lamer. At least I have the juevos to post as myself instead of hiding. ------- signature starts "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 Please review the Legal Disclaimer in my bio. ------- signature ends

                          Am I late for class? There was supposed to be a seminar here today. Sorry if I missed it, but there was a serious accident on the way home from the office, and the cops were on the way. Very little time left to rummage through the victims' pockets, but I couldn't resist the opportunity. John Simmons / outlaw programmer wrote: Being an anonymous asshole doesn't make any point at all, it just makes you look stupid. So true.

                            We should start some form of "guess who this is" sweepstake! ;) Joking aside, spoofing another user shouldn't be allowed IMHO. It would piss me off no end if someone spoofed me. If you don't have the balls to post using your own login, then f*ck off back to Slashdot.

                              It would actually be a bit more clever if you quuoted somethig I wrote, but then changed the "So and so wrote" part of the quoted text to something derogatory or insulting. However, that would only be semi-amusing one or two times. After that, I doubt that many people would notice. ------- signature starts "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 Please review the Legal Disclaimer in my bio. ------- signature ends

                                  Spanish lesson for the day: Both cojones (coh-ho-naes), and huevos (webose) may be used to signify "balls". Their use varies among Latin American countries. I've noticed that the Caribbean countries use cojones where as the Central American countries use huevos. I'm not sure what they use in South America or Spain. But like you pointed out, huevos is universally used for "eggs". Regards, Alvaro

                                    Spanish lesson for the day: Both cojones (coh-ho-naes), and huevos (webose) may be used to signify "balls". Their use varies among Latin American countries.

                                      We should start some form of "guess who this is" sweepstake! ;) Joking aside, spoofing another user shouldn't be allowed IMHO. It would piss me off no end if someone spoofed me. If you don't have the balls to post using your own login, then f*ck off back to Slashdot.
