And thus Madbaggins inspired a new meme, and "Hump the Shark" spread like wildfire across the internets.
 
It's about time Trek BBS started a meme instead of being the last to jump on board.

Well, clearly, someone needs to start using "TITS!" in other circles. ;)

Does that actually stand for something (like LOL or wtf?) or is it just used to quickly spam a thread that is doomed to be closed?
I'd guess the latter, but I'd be disappointed if the season ended as is, especially if this is the series finale. It'd be the worst series finale since TATV.
 
Well, since TPTB all seem to be in on this to one extent or another, I doubt that the thread will get fried before a proper resolution has been reached... especially after that rushed, trippy ending last season!
 
I don't know, after the writers strike, this season just never found it's legs. Really flat, no characterizations, poor plot lines with unbelievable outcomes.... I'm really surprised the network has pulled the plug on this show...

Q2
 
Well, I'm posting this back at my mom's. My girlfriend and I are on some kind of "trial seperation". Here's how it went down.

As you know we've been distant lately and it got even worse after I went to see the doctor. I just didn't know how to talk to her anymore. At all. I felt like an alien in her presence, on a completely different plain of existence. She wouldn't be able to understand me. We weren't the same even before the doctor, but afterwards we were even worse. We pretty much stayed away from each other. I've been down to the soap kitchen a few times in the last couple of days beause it's the only place I can keep my head straight.

(I saw Matthew there a couple of days ago, by the way. I didn't recognize him at first, not just because of his new unkempt hair and beard (though that was certainly a part of it) but also because of his eyes. His dead hollow eyes. I don't know what's happened to him in the last year. Maybe I should have stayed in touch and he wouldn't have ended up on this. He always used to smoke pot but it was obvious looking at him that he'd been smoking or possibily injesting MORE THAN POT in the last few months. It was so depressing. He was like a zombie. He looked at me and I could see the gears ticking inside his head trying to figure out who I was. I'm ashamed to say I ducked out into the back of the kitchen because I couldn't face talking to him. It was just too depressing. I saw him wandering out a few minutes later. It was so sad. He probably wasn't sure if he'd seen me at all or if it was just a delusion in his drug-addled mind. Anyway.)

Things at home haven't been helped by my girlfriend's older sister being there. She came up at the weekend and as soon as I saw her I knew there was no point making an effort, she wasn't going to like me and I wasn't going to like her. Sometimes you can just tell. She treated me with disdain right away. She treated me like a kid, even more than she did Chuck and Lisa. Well, the bitch is nearly 40 so I suppose she's old enough to be my mother.

I thought my cousin being finally gone (she's back living with her mom as of last week. I dont' know if her and my girlfriend fell out but they don't seem to be hanging out anymore. OH WELL!) would help but it didn't really. :(

My girlfriend and I have been so distant. We didn't even watch BSG together last week. We haven't made love for well over a week, nearly well over two weeks actually. I needed some kind of sexual release but I couldn't bring myself to touch her. Believe it or not I was reading TrekBBS when I was feeling at my worst. I was reading this thread about the new Hilary Duff video someone posted (probably TrekkerTrekker47 knowing him.) I watched the video and favorited it. I've always liked Hilary Duff. Not musically, of course, but sexily. Later on I was sitting in front of the computer feeling lost, unable to talk to my girlfriend let alone touch her. I felt so alone.

I've even been isolated from Chuck and Lisa lately. I still love those little guys and I know they love me, but it's just not the same. Their father has been spending more time with them since he's been back in town. I've been the bigger man and not tried to interfere with this. I still check his nose everytime he's up though, to see if there's any cocaine or heroin on it, but he seems clean. I can tell he's a good father and little Chuck and Lisa are slipping away from me.

Anyway, I felt so alone and of course sexually frustrated when I was sitting at the computer, so I put that Hilary Duff video on. I'm not sure if I actually would have jerked off. But let's just say I was halfway there. Then my girlfriend's sister walked in. Now, I closed the window right away and my pants were almost completely up anyway, but she still sneered "I know what you were doing" at me. I felt like giving that dried up old prune (she doesn't have any kids and she's probably too old to now) a Rock Bottom right there and then. I never would have done it, obviously, so I just stormed out. Later my girlfriend said she wanted to talk.

In a way I was relieved. Things had to come to a head one way or another. We were so distant that we had to have some kind of resolution. My girlfriend said that she'd always known going into a relationship with a younger man would be difficult and might not last for long. She said she was amazed it had lasted as long as it had. I told her how I'd been feeling and even said I'd been to the doctor. She was shocked. She said maybe we should cut our loses and split up now.

But I wasn't willing to give up so easily.

I said we should have a trial seperation for a week. Being apart we'd know if we still loved each other. If we did, we'd end up being drawn back together. That's what you're supposed to do if you love someone, isn't it, let them go and see if they come back? That's what I suggested. She was moved by my words and I agreed to this.

So here I am, watching soaps with my mom at her house. I still feel alone. (By the way, someone was asking about if I worked, I think I told you all in this thread that I was working at a gym? But after my leg injury I couldn't work there any longer. I'm nearly back to 100% now so I might go back and try to get my job back there soon.)

But it's not over yet. In one week I'll know for sure if this chapter of my life is closed for ever...OR IF IT'S ONLY JUST BEGINNING.
 
I'm not feeling well enough to do a point by point on all your angst, so I'll just hit the important points:

As you know we've been distant lately
Uh... no. By all accounts, you've been saying that everything was peachy-cane that past couple weeks. I feel hurt that you didn't fill us in on this disaster sooner.

But I wasn't willing to give up so easily.

I said we should have a trial seperation for a week. Being apart we'd know if we still loved each other. If we did, we'd end up being drawn back together. That's what you're supposed to do if you love someone, isn't it, let them go and see if they come back?
I got bad news laddie, this boomerang isn't coming back around... especially if you tell Olga about Alicia, or your little gay-extravaganza in her living room, or the fact that just a couple weeks ago, you didn't love her any more. This will end badly for you, which can only mean that it will end well for us...
 
Damn - and here I thought when the 40 year old 'sister' walked in, it was time for COUGAR SEX!;)...alas, not. Plus, the cousin has been written out too. Yep, this season is going downhill, FAST!

I guess I'll hang around for one more episode; but it's not looking good.
 
Wait, another point! You said the 40 year old sister was old enough to be your mom... does that count for your nearly-40yo Olga? Do you want to date your mom? Also, now that I think about it, weren't you against shagging your aunt because she was "old"?
 
He always used to smoke pot but it was obvious looking at him that he'd been smoking or possibily injesting MORE THAN POT in the last few months.

Maybe he's been ingesting a POT MORE THAN POT? :techman:

Is MORE THAN POT the same as love more than love?

And do the all caps have any significance?

This show is like Heroes, totally lame now but I keep watching anyway.



-nobody
 
Well, I'm posting this back at my mom's. My girlfriend and I are on some kind of "trial seperation". Here's how it went down.
I GOT IT! The episodes are airing out of order. Like Firely. On crack.


As you know we've been distant lately
Actually, the last update you’ve given us on Girlfriend was this, posted waaaaaay back…a week ago:
Things are going pretty good anyway, thanks for asking.

Like I said. Out of order.

and it got even worse after I went to see the doctor.
It’s not like the doctor actually did anything. He asked you a question and you yelled at him, what with the crazy and all.

I just didn't know how to talk to her anymore. At all.
Again, from your last update…last week:
I think my heroic efforts on Valentine's day in particular won me such grace that I won't even have to try again with her for a month. But I WILL keep trying because that's how much she means to me.

I guess what you meant to say was “I WILL keep trying for the next couple of days because that’s how much she means to me.”



I felt like an alien in her presence, on a completely different plain of existence.
A “ghost” would’ve been a better comparison since aliens are in our plain of existence. At least, in theory. NASA has no official announcement on the matter.



She wouldn't be able to understand me.
Because you’d just yell at her and storm off because you lack what’s called “people skills.” It’s just poor character development. Have a writers meeting and this’ll be fixed by next week’s episode.

We weren't the same even before the doctor, but afterwards we were even worse. We pretty much stayed away from each other.
Again, you didn’t do shit at the doctor.
I've been down to the soap kitchen a few times in the last couple of days beause it's the only place I can keep my head straight.
I can’t disagree with this statement…but I’m sure the next couple of statements will change my mind.

(I saw Matthew there a couple of days ago, by the way. I didn't recognize him at first, not just because of his new unkempt hair and beard (though that was certainly a part of it) but also because of his eyes.
And just how were his eyes? You must phrase it in the form of a literary cliché.

His dead hollow eyes. I don't know what's happened to him in the last year.
Winner.



Maybe I should have stayed in touch and he wouldn't have ended up on this.
I think if you would’ve been in his life over the past year he would’ve killed himself…like Thames and Batgirl. How many people must die, Madbaggins? HOW MANY?!?!

He always used to smoke pot but it was obvious looking at him that he'd been smoking or possibily injesting MORE THAN POT in the last few months.
He’s been hanging out with your girlfriend’s ex. He’s more popular than you.



It was so depressing. He was like a zombie. He looked at me and I could see the gears ticking inside his head trying to figure out who I was.
We’re all trying to figure that out.



I'm ashamed to say I ducked out into the back of the kitchen because I couldn't face talking to him.
Ah. Yet again you just walk away. Better change this up because soon you’ll just hide in a corner from every new character the second you meet them and that’s not exciting television. Try to carry on at least ONE conversation.

It was just too depressing. I saw him wandering out a few minutes later. It was so sad. He probably wasn't sure if he'd seen me at all or if it was just a delusion in his drug-addled mind. Anyway.)
The drugs help.

Things at home haven't been helped by my girlfriend's older sister being there.
The hell? You can’t just throw in a new character and expect all of us to know what’s going on. INTRO!

She came up at the weekend and as soon as I saw her I knew there was no point making an effort, she wasn't going to like me and I wasn't going to like her.
Meh. Why try? Knowing you she’s say “hi” and then you’d hide behind a curtain or something.


Sometimes you can just tell.
If you’re an asshole.

She treated me with disdain right away.
Probably because you weren’t making an effort. People don’t like assholes.

She treated me like a kid, even more than she did Chuck and Lisa. Well, the bitch is nearly 40 so I suppose she's old enough to be my mother.
If you’re 15, then yeah. Actually…that would explain a lot.

I thought my cousin being finally gone (she's back living with her mom as of last week. I dont' know if her and my girlfriend fell out but they don't seem to be hanging out anymore. OH WELL!) would help but it didn't really. :(
I DEMAND INSTANT RESULTS!

My girlfriend and I have been so distant.
Apparantly.

We didn't even watch BSG together last week.
What Adama as put together let no man put asunder!

We haven't made love for well over a week, nearly well over two weeks actually.
Well…never really.

I needed some kind of sexual release but I couldn't bring myself to touch her. Believe it or not I was reading TrekBBS when I was feeling at my worst. I was reading this thread about the new Hilary Duff video someone posted (probably TrekkerTrekker47 knowing him.)
God damnit TrekkerTrekker47! You’ve doomed us all to a story of him jerking off!

I watched the video and favorited it.
You are aware there are more efficient ways to view pornography on the interwebs, right?

I've always liked Hilary Duff. Not musically, of course, but sexily.
Sexily?

Later on I was sitting in front of the computer feeling lost, unable to talk to my girlfriend let alone touch her. I felt so alone.
Because you are. You ARE alone.

I've even been isolated from Chuck and Lisa lately.
Then your girlfriend is a good mother.

I still love those little guys and I know they love me, but it's just not the same.
Because they don’t love you.

Their father has been spending more time with them since he's been back in town.
This is why they don’t love you.

I've been the bigger man and not tried to interfere with this.
Except that one time you interfered with it.

Well I went to see her ex yesterday...

Me: Look I love your ex-wife very much and I care for Chuck and Lisa like they were my own.
Ex: I have no doubt of that.
Me: Then leave us alone!

Two weeks ago.

I still check his nose everytime he's up though, to see if there's any cocaine or heroin on it, but he seems clean.
Madbaggins. Twarted by Kleenex!

Oh, and I know you don’t know this because you’re apparently 12…but you don’t really snort heroin. I mean, you can but your nose would run uncontrollably.

I can tell he's a good father and little Chuck and Lisa are slipping away from me.
Because they ar.e

Anyway, I felt so alone and of course sexually frustrated when I was sitting at the computer, so I put that Hilary Duff video on. I'm not sure if I actually would have jerked off. But let's just say I was halfway there.
Then you were jerking off.

Then my girlfriend's sister walked in.
Duh duh duuuuuuuummmm.

Now, I closed the window right away and my pants were almost completely up anyway, but she still sneered "I know what you were doing" at me.
You should’ve kept going using her as “ammo”. I would’ve. Would’ve made for a better episode too.

I felt like giving that dried up old prune (she doesn't have any kids and she's probably too old to now) a
STONE COLD STUNNER!!!

Rock Bottom right there and then.
Damnit.

I never would have done it, obviously,
Except that one time you did use a wrestling move on someone.

so I just stormed out.
I think it’s safe to say we all saw that coming.

Later my girlfriend said she wanted to talk.
Woooooooo!!! Sexy time!

In a way I was relieved. Things had to come to a head one way or another.
And you sure as hell aren’t going to be the one to start it.

We were so distant that we had to have some kind of resolution.
I think that’s the first time you’ve ever made any sense. Kudos!

My girlfriend said that she'd always known going into a relationship with a younger man would be difficult and might not last for long. She said she was amazed it had lasted as long as it had.
It’s over. Back to cousin!

I told her how I'd been feeling and even said I'd been to the doctor.
You know, if I walk by a hospital that doesn’t mean I “went to the hospital”. That’s more-or-less all you did. You walked in, thought about punching an old man, and yelled at the doctor when he asked you a question. Nothing was accomplished.

She was shocked.
Probably because when you’re in a relationship and you say “I’ve been to the doctor” it means “it burns when I pee, have yourself checked out.”

She said maybe we should cut our loses and split up now.
Yup. It’s over.

But I wasn't willing to give up so easily.
The hell are you talking about? “Giving up easily” is what you do!

I said we should have a trial seperation for a week. Being apart we'd know if we still loved each other. If we did, we'd end up being drawn back together. That's what you're supposed to do if you love someone, isn't it, let them go and see if they come back?
You’re thinking of a canary.

That's what I suggested. She was moved by my words and I agreed to this.
…as she packed your bags…

So here I am, watching soaps with my mom at her house.
Don’t you have more than one tv?

I still feel alone.
Because you’re watching “stories” with your horrible alcoholic mother. You ARE alone.

(By the way, someone was asking about if I worked, I think I told you all in this thread that I was working at a gym?
Meh…don’t care.

But after my leg injury I couldn't work there any longer.
If you can walk (which, inexplicably…you can) you can have a job folding towels or wiping down the equipment.

I'm nearly back to 100% now so I might go back and try to get my job back there soon.)
But…we’re in a horrible global recession. The middle-class is dead. You’re fucked. No job for you!

But it's not over yet.
It’s over.

In one week I'll know for sure if this chapter of my life is closed for ever...OR IF IT'S ONLY JUST BEGINNING.
