uhmmm well it's a joke -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 1, 11:37
because not everyone is around when it is initially made clear, so one ends up repeating oneself incessantly... - znufrii Mar 1, 11:34 9
- hyde has made it clear for a long time that they are annoying -- nm - jingoist pixie Mar 1, 11:40 8
  - He's not saying they are annoying. He's saying that because we're not original and repeat the same joke over and over (and over...), we're annoying. - JaxSean Mar 1, 11:42
  - but, obviously, some people hadn't gotten the message. -- nm - znufrii Mar 1, 11:41 6
    - that's not a result of the message not having been delivered - jingoist pixie Mar 1, 11:42 3
      - Has he said it on here before? I've never seen it where he said it bothered him. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 1, 11:51 2
        
        he has. -- nm - b. Mar 1, 11:54
        
        he definitely let me know not too long ago, but i know not everyone saw it. -- nm - TFox Mar 1, 11:51
    - Exactly. It was ML and kilbo. Say what you want about either of them...but it's not there style to run a joke into the ground... - Jim Mar 1, 11:42 1
      - and by "there", I meant "their." -- nm - Jim Mar 1, 11:43
this is what I do. -- nm - decline Mar 1, 11:32
I don't get this either. - Callisto Mar 1, 11:32 32
- Were we aware that they bothered him? This was the first I had heard of it. And yes, I will stop it. -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 11:34
- I don't have a horse in this race...but everytime I complain about annoying posts, I get told the same thing. - Jim Mar 1, 11:33 4
  - just cause that's what you get told doesn't necessarily make it appropriate. - Callisto Mar 1, 11:36 1
    - I agree...but it's pretty much par for the course around here. not just for me, but for everyone. nm - Jim Mar 1, 11:38
  - How many of those annoying posts are directed at you? - Will Hunting Mar 1, 11:34
  - i'd prefer no swearing at all on ST but that's obviously not going to happen - jingoist pixie Mar 1, 11:34
- See, this is why we need User Profiles on ST. Then we can put "don't make jokes about my ... " in it -- nm - oblique Mar 1, 11:33 24
  - #dontfuckwithme -- nm - TFox Mar 1, 11:35
  - that's what the wiki is for! -- nm - Max Mar 1, 11:35 2
    - When do we get contextual links on ST to the wiki? So like if someone posts something about a burrito, we can hover over the word - oblique Mar 1, 11:36
    - heh -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 11:36

    - Sterility might not be a bad outcome for some STers. -- nm - TWuG Mar 1, 11:37 1
      - to some it might even be an improvement -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 1, 11:42
    - there's about 5 running jokes about people that have carried over from TT. it's not that hard -- nm - jingoist pixie Mar 1, 11:36 8

        in this case it ends at the "hyde is old" jokes because he drew the line - jingoist pixie Mar 1, 11:41 3

        we'll deal with that reality if and when it actually happens - jingoist pixie Mar 1, 11:51
        
        I'm pretty sure the other 50% will make fun of them for it - oblique Mar 1, 11:47
        
        The dude is just saying lay off the old jokes regarding him...and somehow this is a battle for ST censorship vs not? C'mon - Will Hunting Mar 1, 11:40 2
        
        Actually...had he said "lay off the old jokes...seriously" or something like that...this thread probably wouldn't be here right now. - Jim Mar 1, 11:48

  - I'm not averse to this suggestion, but is it OK if I file it under "oh, this will end well"? :) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 11:33 7
    - i think the point goes back to original takes on a running joke, which would be nice sometimes. -- nm - Andie Mar 1, 11:35 4
      - like what? the return of the Cheerleader? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 11:37 3
        
        i sort of don't want to tangent off here, but, *personally*, i don't find just a mention of an old joke funny. if you play it differently, or subvert - Andie Mar 1, 11:38 2
        
        what about going Pauly Shore on the "buddy" stuff, and inventing fake surfertalk wordplay variants? Would that be original? - Beryllium Mar 1, 11:40 1
        
        i'll take what i can get. :) -- nm - Andie Mar 1, 11:40
    - If you implement it as an uploaded picture, I'm sure it will be fine -- nm - oblique Mar 1, 11:34 1

- I really do wish people would show some originality from time to time. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 11:32
I try to make this my rule of thumb. -- nm - TFox Mar 1, 11:31
It's been accomplished once, I think, in ST's history. And I can't say when or what or whom, because that might ruin it. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 11:30 7
- Do it. Do it. - Spawn Mar 1, 11:31 6
  - damnit. Twug went there. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 11:32 5
    - At least I didn't use his real name this time. :-P -- nm - TWuG Mar 1, 11:35 2
      - no, I meant the first one in your list. That one was requested to be retired. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 11:57 1
        
        not by him though - Roger More Mar 1, 12:06
    - Heh - I was actually thinking of a different one -- nm - Roger More Mar 1, 11:33 1
      - Yeah, I thought those were all fair game. -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 11:34
