The official pathetic online dork appreciation thread

[anarky]

So I was just doing a search. I remembered a comedian years ago with a routine about how one could, conceivably, rob a bank with a booger. I think it MAY have been George Wallace. I'm not sure at all. I wanted to know who it was.

I got THREE PAGES of results, all people passing this off as if it was their own idea, and most using the exact wording he'd used!

And not a bit of information about who coined the joke, about 15-20 years back.

Christfarts! It's a fucking 20 year old movie about talking cars and planes and dinosaurs. I like the movie, but no need to discuss it like it's the fucking Magna Carta. Why bitch about minutae, or whether the tone is properly encyclopedic? Seriously. Worry about that for articles on Joan of Arc. A fucking cartoon probably isn't the best place to worry about making your shitty online encyclopedia look "proper."

gotta love this little tantrum:

"I have seen the movie countless times and it is SKYWARP THAT BECOMES CYCLONUS. CYCLONUS HAS ALWAYS BEEN SKYWARP. THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT CYCLONUS IS SKYWARP AND THAT SHARPNELL, BOMBSHELL AND KICKBACK- BECOME THE SWEEPS. ALL THE INESTICONS BECOME THE SWEEPS. MEGATRON BECOMES GALVATRON, THUNDERCRACKER BECOME SCOURGE AND SKYWARP BECAME CYCLONUS. I WON'T BE CONVINCED OTHERWISE. SKYWARP IS CYCLONUS.

JCH"

That's FUCKED vyn, I actualy copied that exact bit but had accidentally closed this thread and figgered I would just post it up later. Must be the all caps, no punctuation style that grabbed our eye

[vynsane]

HA! yeah, the caps probably sealed the deal, but it's more about the apparent emotional torment that this guy went through every time someone might have possibly said "bombshell became cyclonus"

NOOOOOOOOOES!!! CYCLONUS IS SKYWARP. HE IS, WAS AND EVER WILL BE SKYWARP! SKYWARP WAS MY FAVORITES OMG HE ROXORS!

[anarky]

Thing is, it's not clear in the movie. Unicron says that Cyclonus will have an armada. Skywarp is in the foreground, Bombshell in the background, and they become identical Transformers who look like Cyclonus. Not that it matters. The official word from Hasbro is always that Cyclonus was built from the parts of many dead Decepticons.

I just made myself the second-biggest internet dork there, didn't I?

yeah, all that was kind of part of the debate that was apparently deleted from the synopsis of the movie.

no, the fact that you have nearly 3500 posts (which is just about double what the owner of the site has...) at this infantile little site does.

EDIT: didn't even realize it when i copied it into my sig, but he misspelled "shrapnell" as "sharpnell". way to go, superfan. what do you transform into? a moron?

[anarky]

He mispelled it even moreso than you give him credit for. There's only supposed to be one 'L'.

[vynsane]

d'oh. i transform into a moron too.

[anarky]

That clinches it!

Incognito is really... DELL RUSK!

check THIS out

about halfway down the page there's a pic of Captain America that Liefeld drew that someone else took and drew in the proper anatomy as it would appear under the costume- it's fucking SWEET, I'm sure you'll enjoy- I found it doing a random googling of "Liefeld Feet" (which actually makes some funny shit come up- try it!!)

That was inspired by that thread there- prety goddamned funny, especially that wrist comment, and how much of an as Liefeld is for real, shoot

[anarky]

Gives a new meaning to "Is your fly buttoned?" and "Should I look down and say it?" doesn't it?

Edit: Man, I just tried to link to a video of his 501 commercial, but I can't find it.

"So you created X-Force?"
"Yeah."
"I bet Louise Simonson would kick your ass if she knew you were saying that."
"She can. She has feet."

[mabudon]

So Cap's little pink man is ROB LIEFELD??

That actually explains a LOT
