R.I.P. Miss. Taylor. :(

Heard she was the last of the classic Hollywood icons. Any truth to this?

[EvilNed]

To be honest, I had no idea she was still alive.

R.I.P. nonetheless.

[bassman]

It's funny that just yesterday I was reading that David Fincher is tossing around the idea of directing a remake of Cleopatra...

Big deal all your false icons have reached their expiration date.
Many more to come,...can you not continue to live your own lives without them?
Telegram me when "Mr.Warmth" Don Rickles bites the big one.
There's a man who made his mark.

There we go. That's a good way to be warmly invited into the community. But what do I know? I can't live without my false icons. :rolleyes:

I for one have no idea how to continue my pathetic life without Liz Taylor. Do you have any pointers?

[Tom Price]

funny empty response (must have used a picture)
Don't you have forums to search to allow you to go nazi on noobs?

[ProfessorChaos]

new guy, you need to lighten up....jesus christ. what's with all the hostility?

[slickwilly13]

Probably a past or current member trolling. I am just going to enjoy the ride.

[ProfessorChaos]

yeah, that was my initial reaction too.

[Tom Price]

Sure gang up on new people,...
and you wonder why there are only 7 users a day who post,..
The other 48 users in the who is online link are search robots
I figured I would hammer this guy a bit since I saw him ratting out and reporting post's for the most trivial of transgressions,..
in my 2 years before registering.
Carry on nothing more out of me.

[ProfessorChaos]

well, you must realize that coming in with only a dozen or so posts and personally attacking someone (one of the longest standing and agreeable fellows on here) isn't the sort of behavior that's gonna make people welcome you with open arms.

i for one, was glad to see a new person posting, but then you got kinda smart-ass about everybody seeing (the highly overated) liz taylor as an icon, and i had to re-consider my initial impression of you....then you fly off the handle and start ripping into bassman over his remark. not cool dude.

if you're a legit new member, stick around, use some tact and politeness, and you'd be appreciated around here. like you said, this place isn't exactly a hotbed of activity these days and new input and opinions are likely to be very welcomed.

if you're a formerly banned member trolling just for shits and giggles, grow up.

[Tom Price]

Point taken I assure you,..but no one should like rats (agreeable,..bah look in users online and see what he is doing reporting post after post)
Nothing more from me on this subject and thanks for the welcome Chaos.
Meet my friend Easy Andy :lol:

[ProfessorChaos]

diggin the taxi driver reference. like i said, hang around a bit, get the feel of the place and allow us to get to know you, and you'll see that even though he's got the nickname "search nazi" for a reason and he may be the biggest GB-nerd you'll ever meet (online or otherwise), bassman is a good dude, just like most of us here.

and then maybe after a while, you can bust his chops about shit, but you sorta took it to the extreme pretty quicly there, bro.

but really, please do stick around. this place is pretty fucking dead as-of-late due to lots of stupid bitching, in-fighting, people getting all butt-hurt over silly shit, etc. it'd be great if this place got back to the way it was a year or so ago.

[bassman]

Where do you get this reporting thing? I don't think I've reported a post in a few years. And before that I've maybe reported two or three for personal attacks. Wouldn't use the feature anymore, though. No point.

Anyway....like Prof says, welcome to the board. I don't think anyone here really holds Taylor that dear to their hearts, anyway. Just a well known public figure that passed away and the news was spread in a post. I think we have one of these for just about every deceased public figure in the past few years.

Prof - I love you too, sweetheart. :lol:

[ProfessorChaos]

(dare i? oh yes....)

that's what she said.:p

Past member, trolling hard?

Hmmm....

An enigma.

[bassman]

I'm a felon? Shit, why don't they tell me these things...



and yeah...past member...

"Do not upset the wildlife."

[ProfessorChaos]

wait, so the guy's actually a past member? seemed somewhat legit to me after his last couple of posts....

and it's funny how no one gives a shit about the point of this thread....

[bassman]

Judging from what he's been attacking me with, he's either a past member or just a really observant lurker. He made a point to bring up what I do for a living, which is just odd. But on the other hand he also fabricated some things like calling me a Felon. Either way it was obvious from his idol post that he's just trolling....



and it's funny how no one gives a shit about the point of this thread....

Yeah. I guess there's only so much that can be said on her passing. "RIP....moving on" :lol:

[Doc]

Meh, I liked her films. I'm no hardcore fan though.

But, I love Cleopatra. Like Butterfly 8. And thought Who's Afarid of Virginia Woolf? was ok.


Once again no big fan, and even I would say she was kinda overrated.

[MoonSylver]

(dare i? oh yes....)

that's what she said.:p

[ProfessorChaos]

moon!!!!!!! stick around, clown. fuck the haters.

yo fuck this thread. we should start a "never-ending rambling thread" or some shit.

[bassman]

I back that up 100%.

Moon! You're a legend. Stick around.

[ProfessorChaos]

and in case me & bassman couldn't convince you, allow dutch to re-iterate:
