Best Post of the Month VII

Recommend any post that you think is the most witty, the most clever, the most profound, or the best in some way. Make your recommendations throughout the course of the month, then during the next month we'll vote on them while we nominate new ones.  The winner gets fame and glory!

PLEASE FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES:


Make nominations at any time you see a good quote, but you may continue to nominate up to the 10th of the following month for any quotes during the previous month.

Eligible quotes occur between the first day of the month and the last day of the month.

Voting will begin on the 11th of the month.  Voting will be ended when it appears all votes are in or by the end of the month, thus giving you a monthly winner before the next round of voting.


IMPORTANT!

Nomination guidelines:

Please FORMAT your nomination using:

 <quote> tags with the format of <quote Player Name; Thread Name; Date>Quoted text</quote>.

This will save the GM time and will make sure your nomination gets added.

If you do not follow this format, there is no guarantee your nomination will be counted.  Feel free to fix your fellow players' nominations if they do not follow this format.


RULES AND LIMITATIONS

powerisall, Kagura, Germ Ant; Time Waster Lounge; 15 May 2009:
powerisall:
oh come on, I was thinking about nominating that typo.

Change i back!
Kagura:
What would we be changing you back to?
powerisall:
typo
;p
Germ Ant:
You'd be changing back into a typo? I didn't realize you used to be a typo.

...

But now that I think of it, it explains so much...
powerisall:
What can I say?

I was a accident.
Kagura:
So... squids evolve from typos?
Germ Ant:
PIA is not your average squid. Perhaps he was meant to be a squad.

Vixcis:
I always put forth my best and sexiest effort! wich is why I should automaticaly get poster of the week, and royalty, and best post of the month!
Germ Ant:
I'm afraid your sexiest effort isn't allowed due to this not being an adult game.
Vixcis:
boo...Then I'll make it an adult game!!! just look at these *rips off her shirt only to find a black bar covering all her good parts*

Ugh how did this get here?! *throws off black bar only to find another one in it's place*

There is something I would like to tell you.  What is it, you ask?  Every now and then, something special happens at ASWOT; Noteworthy accomplishments that deserve recognition.  Think of things like Best Post of the Month or Most Posts in a Week.  You can't help but enjoy our various time-wasting achievements.

For some of us, time-wasting here has become part of our routine.  I can hardly remember what it was like for me before ASWOT; Very different, that's for sure.  Everyone here has their own ASWOT story.

Things like "bad voodoo" may mean nothing to those outside our small group, but to us they are special.  How can I possibly recount all of our, ahem, accomplishments?  Only let me say this.  Ultimate time wasting is something we excel at.  Sure, no one else in the world cares most likely, but that's not the point.  All of us should strive for a more pure time wasting experience.  Never let real life get the best of you!  Do what you must to stay at ASWOT!

Perhaps you are wondering where I'm going with all this.  Open disclosure, though usually my style, is not in vogue for me at this moment.  Surely someone will waste the time to figure out what I'm trying to say, and exactly how I'm trying to say it.  Then again, maybe this is just a long ramble from someone who's been at ASWOT too long.  Siezing the throne, as I just now have done, may have been my only goal.

Why was this post special?
  1. It was Yoss' 25,000th post
  2. It spelled out "twenty five thousand posts" using the first letters of the sentences
  3. It gained royalty using the post
  4. July 1st is Yoss' anniversary


June 2008 1st place (we had too many nominations):
Presto, Yoss; Time Waster Lounge XIV #828,905; Jun 2008:
Presto:

Snakesssz, Powerisall, Raz; Flea market; 26 Jun 2008:
Snakesssz:
With all the explosions around here, I'm sure you could use a blast shield.  And I'm amazed that you've even survived this long without Mime repellent.
Powerisall:
....yeah.  i'll keep that in mind.
Snakesssz:

Powerisall:
i wont.
Raz:

Dragon:
I'd like to nominate these for April...

quote Time-Wasters Memorial Mental Asylum, April 2005:
Germ Ant: *Germ Ant parries Raz's thrust while ducking the flying tackle and comes back with a lightning fast riposte.*
Raz: Feeling overwhelmed by the tall fencer, Raz flicks some controls with his toes, launching springs under his feet, making him bounce up and down as he attacks and blocks.
Germ Ant: *Germ Ant responds to his opponent's unorthodox maneuver by reabsorbing his legs and floating in seemingly random vertical and horizontal patterns as the fight continues.*
FourLegged: Ooh, Crouching Goblin, Hidden Alien!
King Scorpion:
I thought that the posts had to be from this month to be nominated
Dragon:
They ARE this month! It says nominations for the month of "April". It does not say what year! :p

Ms. Brill; things that make you go hmm...; 14 Jan 2008:
When voice recognition software was new and no one had a very good product, much less a product on the market for the general public, I had a programmer friend in the biz who asked if I would help him test a programme he was working on.
Needless to say, after a short time of the computer mis-typing what I was saying I got very (very) frustrated and shouted into the microphone.  What came up on the screen was this:

Far queue bar stewards!

Explanatory Comment: CL had found a "Chronometric Eraser" gun which erases whatever it is pointed at from history and into nonexistence.

Heath:
"Don't we want to know what happens here?  That gun of yours will disintegrate as soon as we leave the room.  At least shoot something with it."
CL:
"Thats not true. Is it? Well, I better not tamper with the chaotic nature of everything."
Heath:
Well, since you start each room fresh...
Rules:
However, your character does not have any special powers or equipment unless the DM okays it first.

Since I wrote the rules, I remembered that.  :)
CL:
"O."

*CL zaps the rules with the gun*

There is a word in the English language in which the first two leters signify a male, the first three signify a female, the first four signify a great man, and the whole word, a great woman.  What is the word?

No thanks. I'll stick with the aspirin for now.

Heath; The Definition Game II; 12 Feb 2007:
Redundancy is...

...saying the same thing over in repetition and saying it again until the same thing has been heard over and over again without saying anything new and repeating something so that it becomes long and old and repetitive and backing up with the same thing so that nothing new can get through to ruin what has already been said over and over.  It is the unnecessary use of either needless, tautological, pleonastic or superfluous text, by which one repeats, in duplication, the same, identical, aforesaid things over and over again, beyond what would be needed or required to explain, or make comprehensible, the intended or signified meaning of that which one wishes to convey.  It is usually common in redundancy to repeat, sometimes with different phrasing or words, the same idea or reasoning, thus restating one's thoughts, sometimes paraphrasing oneself and effectively saying the same thing twice, or double.  And it comes from Lord Alvin Redund, but I myself guess you (the reader) know or understand what I mean here in this sentence that was excessively repetitive to the point of being repetitively excessive. The wording was superfluous, repetitive, and more than required. In the times following, and subsequently, and afterwards, all things, items, speech, text, stuff, and things that are repetitive, superflous, or more than required are called, named, or otherwise denoted as Redundant, because, due to, and as a direct result of Lord Redund's text contained within his correspondence missive letter.

And in case it's not clear, this is the original missive letter from Lord Redund which started the word Redundancy:

Lord Alvin Redund:
Dearest, esteemed, important, and beloved colleagues, friends, and comrades,
I, Lord Redund, also called Lord Alvin Redund, am writing and penning this missive letter in correspondence to you, my friends, colleagues, and comrades, on March 15, 1734, this fifteenth day of March of the year 1734 to request, inquire, and ask of you, my friends, colleagues, and comrades, if it would be possible, feasible, or conceivable that I might borrow, or obtain on loan from you a small, tiny, insignificant amount of money, coin, or currency with which I might purchase, obtain through sale, or buy additional paper, or parchment, with which I could then write or pen more letters, missives, and messages unto you, my friends, comrades, and colleagues.

Thank you. I am grateful, and much obliged.

Sincerely, Truly, and Earnestly,

Lord Alvin Redund, Lord of House Redund

Any questions?

Yoss, FourLegged; Question Game IX; 8 Dec 2006:
Yoss:
Do you enjoy being nostalgic?  If so, wax nostalgic in your response.
FourLegged:
Ah, I remember nostalgia.  To wax poetically about remembering remembrances of days gone past, it makes me a little misty eyed to think upon the memory of it now.
I recall remembering my memory of remembered remembrances.  Yoss asked me to wax nostalgic in my response.  Those were good times.


Yoss, Bart; Last Letter Conversation IX; 16 Nov 2006:
Yoss:
You said it, not me.  Just remember that.  :-)
Bart:
"That", ok, I'm remembering it.  I've got to hold that word in my brain.  Ok, I'm picturing the word on a tray and I'm standing on a beach, holding the tray, the waves are rolling in, I can smell the sea breeze and I'm waving with both hands at... No!  Wait, what happened to that?  Did I drop it on the sand... Let me get down on my hands and knees, perhaps it's still around, oh, there it is -- my towel was blown on top of it.  Ok, perhaps the beach is too distracting.

Ok, I take that and I'm now in a forest, surrounded by the pine trees.  I'm holding that in front of me, as I feel the cool breeze lightly brush my hair and the warm sunlight streams through breaks in the needles of the trees and I reach up with my hands to stretch in the sun and I... No!  Wait, what happened to that?  I must have set it in some nook of a tree somewhere, maybe here, maybe, oh, it fell into that old stump over there.  I'd better pick it up and dust it off.  Ok, the forest isn't working either.  Maybe if I remove everything around me.

I'm dressed in white clothes, floating in whiteness, there are no floors, ceilings or walls, I can see nothing around me, it's just blank and that is floating in front of me as I contemplate zen.  Wait, what's that, a sound?  I glance around but when I look back that isn't there anymore, that is now this.  Ah well, I think I'll just give it up for lost and move on.  Ok, back to the beach with that.

I'll just put it in a box and set it down on the sand here.  I walk away from that, secure in the knowledge that I know where I set it down.  I can walk back and pick that up any time I want.  Good, now it's remembered.  Even if I forget about that, as long as the box is there I can always wander over, see what's inside and remember that.

Bart; Suggestions II; 14 Jul 2006:
I think, going by the strict rules of the God Game, there are a lot of "minor" laws of the universe that could used so that a person could never get anything done.

I create Light
I create a world
Wait, you forgot to create photons, you can't create light
I create photons
Wait, you forgot to create electromagnetic lines of force, what are the photons traveling along?
I create electromagnetic lines of force
Woah, you can't just do that, what's creating that force?  You can't just have a force out all by itself originating from nowhere.
I create whatever it is that creates electromagnetic lines of force
Lol, you haven't even created the strong and weak nuclear forces yet!
I create the strong and weak nuclear forces
OMG, but what about giving the electrons spin?
I give the electrons spin
You can't do that, you haven't even created electrons yet
I create electrons
But, now you just had a Big Bang-like explosion as all the negative electrons repeled each other and you forgot to create protons and neutrons.
I create protons and neutrons and tie them in together with the electrons to create atoms
I'm sorry, but the rules clearly state that you can't do so much in a single act of creation.
I create Death
That's just nonsensical, how can you have death when nothing's even lived yet?
I create life
Slow down there, pardner, what sort of life are you creating, how are you animating the body, electric shocks, slipping a soul inside, what?
I create a body
Woah, you can't just do that.  Ex nihilo creation?  You've got to at least whip the body up out of the dirt like in the Bible or use evolution or something.
Shut up
Sorry, but the rules of the game don't allow you to say that to me
I give you a name, you are now the Devil
...ok, I don't have a problem with that.

I smite the Devil with my godly powers
I block the smite with my Devilish powers
I go off to create my own universe to play in
Evil's reach extends everywhere...

Kienzan, unknown thread, ~16 Feb 2005:
FourLegged, I've been meaning to tell you this, but...

We're actually twins separated at birth. You went to our true parents, while I was stolen away by an Eskimo who was visiting his old college roommate. I grew quickly on the blubber fed to me by my adoptive parents, but I wasn't old enough to walk when I was mistakenly left on the ice on one of my "father's" seal hunting trips. Luckily, a mother polar bear mistook me for her cub, because I was swaddled in white fur and I had a full diaper, and she took me as her own. For many years I lived among the polar bears, until the day I came of age and challenged the tyrannical chieftan of the polar bears for supremacy. After long and fearsome combat, the beast was slain, and the Blubber Crown was bestowed on me. There was a great feast, and many bottles of Coke were passed aound, because polar bears are quite fond of it. It was at this feast that the wise and ancient polar bear seer, Frozen Paw, told me of my true origins. And so, I set out on a quest to find my blood kin, with only my guardian Mr. Biggums at my side. We roamed long and far, we ranged from Phoenix, Arizona all the way to Tacoma, Philadelphia, Atlanta, L.A. In Toronto, I lost an eye to an ornery fry cook, and had it cybernetically replaced, and spent many years as a laundry bounty hunter before returning to my quest. The road was long and arduos, and Mr. Biggums doesn't talk much. I had almost given up hope, when my garbage man suggested this site. I investigated, and chanced upon A Serious Waste of Time. Frozen Paw had told me that a marsupial would show me the way, so when I found you I didn't approach immediately. I watched from afar until it dawned upon me: this eucalyptus-eating creature was my twin brother. Still, I did not approach you with my wondrous news, not wanting to completely shatter your reality. The time has come now though, and here I am, your brother. This is why we look so much alike.

Re: Best Post of the Month VII

For March, let's use the nominations so far that never got voted on.  If I missed any below, please let me know.  So please vote on these.  Voting will close at the end of the month.

Looking back, it looks like we haven't had a "winner" since last April, so that makes almost 1 full year.

The winner will be the "2010-2011 Best Post" winner:

Begin voting on the following:

ChaosLord; Thread Name; Thu 17 Jun 2010 at 09:31 (PST):
Canadians shop at Chapters and Indigo.

Bart bumps bloomers bravely.
Bold beings believe before blaspheme.
Big bees buzz busily.
Bears bedevile Billy.
Bam. Bashing bozos blatantly beam.


FourLegged, Bart, Kagura; Question Tennis XXXX, Wed 14 July:
FourLegged:
Wh odemanded shrubberies?

Bart:
I didn't demand an ode, do you see me delivering any poetry?

FourLegged:
Shall I try again? Why ode dead man shy rub berries?

Kagura:
Why WOULD you ode about a dead man shyly rubbing berries?


Dragon, on Fri 23 Jul 2010 at 23:19 (my time) in the Timewaster's Lounge XXXVIII thread:
You work for HP? What, did you roll a tank class with not enough stamina or something? So now you gotta wander the streets holding up a sign saying "Will work for HP"? And how do they pay you anyway? Stamina pills? Health injections? Health enchants on gear? You might not be complaining, but have you had any of your 'pay' inspected? Lots of shady deals go down with cheap stamina pills these days...


Graham, on Wed 28 Jul 2010 at 08:03 (my time) in Unanswered Questions III in response to the question, "What is the best movie":
That is a dangerous question to ask, Bart. A very dangerous question.

In the 1970s, the US government attempted to answer this very question. They recruited a small cadre of scholars, cinema critics, and random American citizens and had them segregated from the rest of the world with a copy of every movie known to man at the time. The project's leader was a cinema critic named Frank Wagner. Don't bother looking him up on Google, there's nothing of his posted anywhere. After the disasterous results of the project, all mention of anyone on the team was expunged from the public record.

Things started well for the team. They watched six films a day on average, taking notes and comparing them with each other. On Sundays, they took the day off to recharge. Wagner and his team developed, in the space of a few months, a very detailed matrix for testing the worth of a movie. The front runner for quite some time was, from the scattered notes of what's left, Citizen Kane, but this is not a good indicator of what the best movie was, as the team was still watching film from the end of World War II when things went downhill.

While this was happening, the government continued to funnel movies to the team as they were released. Many people point to this as the downfall of the project, because in 1975 a particular film found it's way to the team. The Rocky Horror Picture Show. At this point, the team had been segregated from all outside contact for two years, and were starting get a bit loopy. It was, as far as anyone can tell, the perfect storm for what followed.

What's known from that fateful 72 hours between the first screening of the film and the death of all team members is that, after the first screening, the team realized this film didn't fit their matrix. So they watched it again. And again. At the end of screening six, Wagner proclaimed himself as Dr. Frank N. Furter. At viewing 17, he was killed in a bloody coup against the "tyrannical doctor." In all, the film was screend a total of 52 times in 72 hours according to records, but with a 100 minute running time it's impossible to have had that many screenings. The last team member was found hanging from the ceiling by a pair of stockings. No stockings were known to be owned by any team member. Two team members were missing, although evidence at a barbeque pit suggested cannabilism.

The government covered everything up, and a simple memo was circulated at the highest levels of power to never, ever ask that question again.

Do you think the Kool-Aid man has insurance to cover all the walls he busts down?


Heath, Kagura, Lounge, Sept 23:
Heath:
It's been pretty dead around here...

Kagura:
Yeah. I've noticed that too.

Heath:
Time to make it a little more un-dead.


Kagura on October 7th in the Lounge:
Nah. I mean, have you actually looked at what kinds of people we are? Shape-shifting aliens, assorted Earthly animals, a couple of dragons, some D&D monsters, a goddess or two, and assorted other humanoids. Most of us -already- don't wear clothes because it would just be weird.

I mean, can you imagine a beholder trying to wear a pair of pants? Or a dragon in a shirt? *imagines just that and giggles* It'd be pretty funny looking if you ask me!


Again, let me know if I missed anything.  It looks like April 2010 was voted on but no winner was ever announced.  I will have to get back to that one and also making a list of winners to date.

Re: Best Post of the Month VII

When you vote, just give a one or two word description of the quote you vote for and put it in a private line to me so others can't see it.

Example:

Re: Best Post of the Month VII

Also, please list up to three quotes you will vote for, in the order you want them to win.

I will assign points to your votes, 3 points to your top choice, 2 to your second, and 1 to your third.  The winner is the one that gets the most points.  I may have a runner up or honorable mention too if it is close.

You don't have to give any reasons.  Just let me know 1st, 2nd and up to 3rd choice in a way that I know what post you're referring to.

Re: Best Post of the Month VII

I liked this one from when I went nuts in question tennis

Vixcis:
*Bursts into the room*

WHAT THE @#$*! Why would FL want to hide from me?! Who wouldn't want to be my ally?! Dosen't everyone want to be on my good side?! Have you seen the people on my bad side? Do you visit graveyards often?! And what's wrong with how I show affection?! Dosen't everyone love a good squish?! If I wanted to torture Kagura what makes you think I would do it slow. WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT ME BEING OLD?! Arn't I equally gender biased in my tortures. Dosen't state law say that I have to torture men and women equally?! WHO CALLED ME NICE?!!! What are you trying to hide?!! Don't you know I always read at least to pages back, and that I can hear everything? What was it Magenta said from rocky horror "I see all"? Whose been calling my name?! Don't you know you have to turn out all the lights in the bathroom spin around ten times and say my name three times to summon me?! Did you call me a Yeti!?!! How did this fireball appear in my hand?!

Shouldn't you all be running away by now?...

Aribeth:

Because this board was not kept up, so I compiled all the posts that no one has yet had a chance to vote on.

Vixcis can add her nomination, but when was it and in what thread?
