I'm dating an older woman!

[Locutus of Bored]

ALL sides.. back out of this tangent and get on with the topic.

Notice how the TrekBBS staff is always trying to angle things back to cousin-fucking?

My penis is the size of Manhattan Island and I’m the Queen of Mars.

After a line like that, how anyone can doubt the entertainment value of Squiggy's commentaries is beyond me.

 

[Scout101]

Queen with a giant penis? Not sure I like where this is heading...

 

[Kommander]

I should start a commentary on people who stand up for Madbaggins.

There's no "standing up" for him. He's not real.

It's someone having a laugh. When you make fun of him for things like "parrot-phrasing," you're making fun of intentional errors.

(pssst...I know it's all fake)

Some people aren't happy without some injustice to try and rail against, though. Real or perceived... Just can't believe anyone would take this thread seriously, especially enough to notify the mods about it (and no, I'm not talking about "notifying the mods" to the cousin orgy/bisexual experiment, you sick bastards ) Worse than that, who hits the NM button without even a slight background or understanding for an event? Supposed to be the LAST resort, not the thing you click more than the "post" button...

"If something is perceived to be fake because it seems too stupid to be real, it is most certainly real." -Kommander's Second Law

Another Friday in the BR.

Every night is cousin-fucking night at TrekBBS.

Given who suddenly appeared and complained that people were being mean to Madbaggins, and that poster's past history, isn't it obvious?

That poster's past history ? That is rich coming from you.

Spiff explained himself so I dropped the issue. It has now gone on for a good few pages more without any input from me.

I felt this thread was going over the top and that people who should know better were joining in instead of doing something about it. I can see that I was wrong about that. I'm sure, of course, that this won't be enough for you and you'll carry on droning on about posting histories and whatever it is you think my motivations were.

My take:

if MB is fictitious, then whatever we say, cruel or otherwise, as long as it's funny, isn't hurting anyone real.

If MB is real (and this might be true), well... from his very first post, he asked for our advice, and whatever we said to do, he did the exact opposite. Every time. Every time. Not once or twice, every damn time. Reread season one - a lot of us showed him kindness and advised him strongly... but not once did he take our advice. Hell, he'll probably tel you that himself. If that happened to a friend of yours IRL, you'd be mocking that person as well.

Doesn't say a hell of a lot about us that we take pleasure in it, but, well, old man gotta get his jollies somewhere.

Frankly, I was very disappointed by tonight's episode. I was hoping for another one of those "very special episodes of MadBaggins", not the introspective rant I got.

Me too. All this means (imo) is an upcoming 'flashback episode' or maybe a 'clip show' of sorts that covers new ground. Come on dude, we all want more the the agnst and sexual debauchery/insanity that made these threads so popular in the first place.

 

[MadBaggins]

Well things were weird with the doctor. I was sitting there in the waiting room looking around at the other people with their empty, worn out faces, trying to think of what to say. I realized I coudn't express my problems in words. My problems do that exist as words. They are bigger than that. I think I'm in the wrong Universe or something. Things play out in my head differently than in real life. I can't make them synch up with each other.

I felt an impotent rage as I sat there, I almost wanted to punch the elderly man with the cought in the face. I wanted to escape, to run out. I decided I would...then the doctor called me in. It was my turn.

I tried to explain, I really did. But then he asked me for examples of how my mind problems have effected my life. Real life examples. I paused. I actually thought about this place. I thought about how people here (a very small majority, but still some) ridicule and make fun of the things I say about my life. I felt paralyzed with dread. I know you're supposed to be open and honest with your doctor. I now you can tell him anything. I'd even told this doctor about some embarrassing problems in the past. But this time I couldn't bring myself to say anything. I just kind of grunted. I then made the most lame excuse possible that I had to leave because I'd just "remembered" another appointment.

The doctor wasn't happy. He said I could have problems and there might be medication that could help me. I don't want no stinking medication. I'm not a scientologist but I think 99% of all mood altering drugs are NOT NEEDED. I think you should be able to solve your own problems without needed a pill to alter your brain chemistry. I felt angry that this doctor would just resor to medication so quickly too. I suppose it was my fault for not telling him everything about my life? But still. I wanted out. I just got up and left. "YOU CAN'T STOP ME,"I shouted. "GET YOUR PAWS OFF ME." I realize now this might have made me look more crazy to him. I don't know why I said "paws" instead of "hands".

I didn't want to go home but where else could I go? I just walked around in a daze for a while. I almost thought of throwing myself off a bridge. Luckily I didn't cross any. Then I knew a place to go.

The soap kitchen.

My aunt wasn't there, whcih was good. But some of the staff remembered me. I said I wanted to help out. They smiled and put me to work. For an hour I just served up soup to the homeless without a care in the world. And you know what? It felt good. It felt real. I did feel in synch for a moment. Life made sense.

Maybe my problems aren't in my head but with my life.

 

[Squiggy]

Well things were weird with the doctor.

I’m shocked.

I was sitting there in the waiting room looking around at the other people with their empty, worn out faces, trying to think of what to say.

How about “I’m sexually attracted to my cousin and I’m in a sham of a relationship”. Something along those lines.

I realized I coudn't express my problems in words.

Then you don’t have a full grasp of English.

My problems do that exist as words.

This would be a good example of you not grasping English as this doesn’t make any sense.

They are bigger than that.

More wordy than words that you love more than love?

I think I'm in the wrong Universe or something.

Yes. That’s the next logical conclusion.

Things play out in my head differently than in real life.

Translaton: You’re crazy.

I can't make them synch up with each other.

I felt an impotent rage as I sat there,

“Impotent rage”?

I almost wanted to punch the elderly man with the cought in the face.

Makes sense.

I wanted to escape, to run out. I decided I would...

You are aware that you could just leave right? Escape implies that you’re forced to be there. You were. In case you forgot – YOU went there.

then the doctor called me in. It was my turn.

And you went to the doctor without punching that old man in the face. [FONT=Wingdings]L[/FONT] Coward.

I tried to explain, I really did.

Well see later that you really did not.

But then he asked me for examples of how my mind problems have effected my life. Real life examples.

Did you just print off everything you’ve ever said here?

I paused. I actually thought about this place.

See? Your brain isn’t totally fucked up!

I thought about how people here (a very small majority, but still some)

All.

ridicule and make fun of the things I say about my life.

We all do that. Well, all but Hermy.

I felt paralyzed with dread. I know you're supposed to be open and honest with your doctor. I now you can tell him anything.

I think you have “doctor” and “friend” confused…or you think that this is 50 years ago and Leave it to Beaver.

I'd even told this doctor about some embarrassing problems in the past.

1. I want to bone my cousin.
2. My mom is a horrible drunk
3. My friends are all hobos
4. I want to rob my aunt
5. My brain can’t interpret things correctly…at all…ever.

You’ve got options!

But this time I couldn't bring myself to say anything.

Shock.

I just kind of grunted.

Like an ape? Well done.

I then made the most lame excuse possible that I had to leave because I'd just "remembered" another appointment.

I’m sure you pulled one over on him. Well done!

The doctor wasn't happy.

Neither are we at this point. Lame episode. All talk…no action. Go back out and punch that old man in the face!

He said I could have problems and there might be medication that could help me.

We’ve all been saying this.

I don't want no stinking medication.

Because obviously you don’t need it?

I'm not a scientologist but I think 99% of all mood altering drugs are NOT NEEDED.

You think wrong. That’s why you need the drugs.

I think you should be able to solve your own problems without needed a pill to alter your brain chemistry.

You “should”, but you “can’t”. If you have you legs blown off you can’t just want to walk bad one day…you need help.

I felt angry that this doctor would just resor to medication so quickly too.

That’s what doctors do. If you want touchy-feely “You ARE good enough” crap, talk to your dead friend or drunken mother or sham of a girlfriend.

I suppose it was my fault for not telling him everything about my life?

Ya think?

But still. I wanted out. I just got up and left. "YOU CAN'T STOP ME,"I shouted. "GET YOUR PAWS OFF ME." I realize now this might have made me look more crazy to him.

Rational response. The fact that you thought this was an appropriate course of action THEN proves that you need heavy medication and possibly shock therapy.

I don't know why I said "paws" instead of "hands".

You’re a secret-furry?

I didn't want to go home but where else could I go?

Naturally you should try and kill yourself.

I just walked around in a daze for a while. I almost thought of throwing myself off a bridge.

Yeah! Now you’re thinking like a non-crazy!

Luckily I didn't cross any.

Awww….that was a let down. I mean, I though that maybe you had thrown yourself off a bridge and you were writing this from beyond. Thank you for spelling out that you did not kill yourself. I was confused

Then I knew a place to go.

Where everyone knows your name?

The soap kitchen.

Do you just have 4 places you ever go? Go somewhere new.

My aunt wasn't there, whcih was good.

Was that girl from Lost there? We don’t care about your aunt (who is touring Old Zealand with the money that’s rightfully yours).

But some of the staff remembered me.

Naturally. You spend all of a couple of hours there a year ago and most of that time you were getting high in an ally. I’m sure you made an impression.

I said I wanted to help out. They smiled and put me to work. For an hour I just served up soup to the homeless without a care in the world. And you know what? It felt good. It felt real. I did feel in synch for a moment. Life made sense. Maybe my problems aren't in my head but with my life.

No. It’s both.

I predict a plunge in the ratings. No action or sex = no interest by the viewers.

 

[sidious618]

Wow, I missed a number of episodes since the drunk post but it seemed to be filler. No plot developments otherwise than the ex confrontation and that was boring. Certainly, there was no character development but that's not a shock.

 

[Trekker4747]

Do you just have 4 places you ever go? Go somewhere new.

to be fair, you can only do so much with a handful of sets.

The "soap kitchen" set is actually a redress of the 10-Fwd set.

 

[Mallory]

Yeah, but he didn't even run into that homeless girl he liked. Sad.

It would have been better if he had gone to the grocery store and boffed that girl in the bakery again while making bread.

 

[All Seeing Eye]

OMG, this madbaggins stuff is still going on? I can't believe I forgot about it, it could take me a year just to catch up.

 

[Mallory]

One has to wonder what exactly it is that MB does for a living. Besides babysit Chuck and his sister. Where's the work-related angst?
