the longest thread, thread - Occasionally NSFW

Indeed... it certainly was about nothing... much like this post... in fact, you'd be better looking at my siggy picture for 10 seconds than spending your time reading this. Oh yeah, if you've got this far, then you've spent the time already. Ah well.

A True Post about Nothing wouldn't even have a topic at all. The arguments put forth in support of the topic would also not be relevant and might even be contradictory. A post like that would meander all over the place. Sometimes going around in circles and coming back onto itself. After reading a post like that you would be very confused. You would have to check the Thread title just to remind yourself why you were reading that kind of post.

It might even get to the point where when the phrase, "a post like that", was mentioned, you wouldn't even know what kind of post was being referred too. A thread that was full of posts like that would be the anthesis of all of our struggles to find meaning in our everyday lives. Such a thread would just be full of of distorted and disjointed ramblings, yet might also have a goal. With a post like that, in a thread like that, you might still find satisfaction somehow, if you were part of a team that was having fun trying to accomplish they knew not what.

Indeed...

I was thinking more that meaning to find struggle would inevitably lead to a post full of threads. You know, like the mail-order garment industry. Besides, I think rather than a struggle to find meaning, CC necessarily features people meaning to find struggle, or at least some symbolic representation of large numbers of soldiers slaughtering each other.

I think I'm supposed to hit myself with a wooden paddle now.

Was that meant to be purposefully baffling, or am I just not on the ball tonight?

Baffling maybe, but a bit much to say it had a purpose, I think. Maaaaaaaahhhh......(drool bathing my ankles)

Incidentally, I'm not sure I know exactly why there's a comma in the title of this thread. I mean, I figure the intention was to indicate that it wasn't a typo, but considering that at the top of this page I've got Club Forum Forum Index -> Off-Topic Topics, it would seem appropriate for it to just be the plain old commaless Longest Thread Thread. Or maybe Lack should follow this lead and change it to Club Forum, Forum Index -> Off-Topic, Topics.

Now THAT's a post about nothing.

Scarus

there's no way were losing sight of our goal...all of these posts whether about me or not...have no other purpose but to elongate this endearing thread...

I like it! I think something's missing, though....it must be that pointless comma....

I think you're full of crap.

and sometimes I think you are a horrid human-being bent on making my life hell... :shock:

lol

No, I was talking to rocksolid. You were just too quick on the draw, is all.

by **thegrimsleeper** on Mon Apr 17, 2006 5:25 pm

but now that you mention it, I am a pretty horrid human being, and it making your life hell might actually be kinda fun...

That was a pretty random 'it' you put in there Grim. And, to quote cahoots, 'lol'.

Well it's working my brain to the edge of its intellectual capacity

Yet another bullet taken on my behalf.

For the record, I am full of crap.

i know...that's why I was trying to speak slowly and in simple words....you know, so that everyone (and especially you and grim) will feel like they belong here, too...just like those of us with considerable levels of intelligence...us being, of course, myself and Scarus.

Considerable, eh? It would take me two seconds to consider Scarus' intelligence level :lol:

that doesn't surprise me...as I see that your power of imagination is limited to what is plain and concrete...and as I know that Scarus' unimaginable intelligence is well beyond that standard.

j/k

It may be unimaginable, but then so is the contents of grim's underpants...
