Deconstructing a myth


Brimstone Bruce

 

Posted

Since I16 is looming, another expansion is on the horizon, and the year is swiftly coming to a close, it has caused me to reflect on my time here. And in doing so, it has occured to me that no one really knows anything about this beloved vessel, inexplicablly short-hand nicknamed "voo". And ladies and gentlemen, that's a travesty. So here I am, willing to divulge arcane knowledge, bust myths, and otherwise open the portal of unknown secrets for this most singular of subjects, much like unicorns, rainbows, bigfoot, honest politicians, ocelots, and other fairy tales have been unmasked over the years. And while this may lessen his mystique and unusual, uncontrollable power over others, I feel that this is for the greater good overall.

I shall divulge some of this infomation in chunks so as to not completely overwhelm those with the fortitude to read on. Adding to the unraveling mystery in spurts as I make them up ... I mean, am able to cope with the burden of being the one to share these gifts.

So without further ado [enters trance]:

- Was born an orphan
- Has the exact opposite life story from that of Benjamin Button
- Wants to be a paperback writer
- Despite popular opinion, has never actually kicked a puppy
- it was a kitten
- Has been told the exact same thing by his mother and wife..."Even knowing you, I would not want to come across you in a dark alley"
- ok fine. The kitten and puppy were playing adorably and he couldn't help it
- Is mortal enemies with the act of not paying attention
- Indifference is both his achille's heel and greatest asset
- Has a magic Spanish castle made of sand and it takes about a day to get there on his dragonfly
- Can hopefully never be tracked down by peers from any incarnation of school as he used an illegal name that doesn't exist
[/trance]

Since we're sharing: I was born on a mayonnaise farm.

I'll take responsibility for this, everyone; I tried to global friend Voo last night and I think he snapped. I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

- Has this damnable curse where people infer the weirdest things from what he actually says
- Believes breathing is a fad that has stuck around for far too long
- Believes there is a reason for everything.
- Has passed, with flying colors, every conceivable test devised by man and beyond......except cannot pass a pregnancy test to save his life
- Is by far the weirdest thing he's ever made up
- His other personalities agree with everything he's said. Except that one thing
- Is a world champion of something very obscure
- Stands by his convictions......mainly because the judges won't throw them out

And you're reasoning for the timing is just adorable!

This made me laugh out loud and then I had to explain to Chicken why I was laughing.....he didn't appreciate it as much as I did *shrugs*

- Is slightly confused, yet a little interested, in why Bunny would be more interested in pics of a wife than of himself
- Remembers the last time he posted pictures/videos of him and his wife online. YouTube was flooded, TMZ went nuts, and Google offered a billion dollars for the rights to the property. It crashed the internets.

Quote:
oh and I'm jealous MG is your global friend and I'm not
- To the best of his knowledge has never sent out a gfriend request to anyone
- Treats his gfriend list as a tidy, handy go-to list and not a collection of past conquests

- Is an infallible optimist and sees the world through rose-tinted glasses.......made of human flesh and sorrow
- Reads all posts from others on the forum in a Mickey Mouse voice
- Encourages everyone to read his posts with Michael Clark Duncan's voice
- Has a Twitter account to recount the days of yore
- Prefers to listen to Sarah Palin's speeches over reading most of the posts in the forum games section
- Is a dirty, tree-hugging hippy

- Likes to be helpful, so this is for Sarrate as this seems new:
Code:
code     code         code
1      +   2        =        hax

Bah... Forgot to mention the thing about being a dirty, tree-hugging hippy.

Face it, the forums died a lot after Hamster got banned. The only way to liven it up now is to start a big fight. Those seem to bring people out of the woodwork to jump into the fray.

Any Goons still around?

- Doesn't disagree with the sentiment, just the reasoning behind it.
- Finds the irony between this reply and the previous one to be contradictorily askewed
- Secretly wishes he was as famous and respected as Hamster
- Has taken Nancy off his Xmas list

I for one haven't been to the forums too much as of late, I don't like how things are arranged and the dev's digest is just horrible now. I stick to my two favorite sections, Victory and Scrapper forums now.

Your reason for the original post wasn't clear. It became clear in the post where you said things have been slow. I knew you weren't going to divulge any info about yourself, I thought you were having an emo moment.

Thanks, I don't need another autographed picture of yourself.

- Has a free newsletter you should consider joining. It would alleviate your chronic confusion and not seeing clearly

As for the mentioning of the forum being slow, that was in direct response to being asked if Voodoo was bored. I just wanted to clarify that it didn't have anything to do with being bored:
- When bored, has a tendency to do things that aren't actually describable in coherent words. Using colors would be a better choice, or maybe even tastes.

I'm not very fond of the new forum format either.

I hate change.

WOW NANCY! Where did you find the room put this portrait?

And are some of the pics suspiciously close-up?

I blame VooDoo

that is all

Consider yourself lucky. That crashing of the internet mentioned above ... not for a good reason. I believe the term used was "scrubbing of harddrives" but others would call it a purification ritual.

Oh, and I always pictured Voo's voice as Gomer Pyle.
