Title: Breathing. Fuck, why?
Post by: Dominus Nox on February 04, 2007, 09:55:27 PM
Why do we go to all the trouble to keep breathing? I mean, it's a nuisance, it keeps us from going placed where there's no air, it makes us cough, sneeze, etc. What a fucking nuisance, so why bother with it?


(PS, for the benefit of the thinking impaired, the above post was SARCASM, as was my post about "Rolling dice". I was and am satirizing the string of "(Aspect of gaming) Fuck, why"? threads that have proliferated since pundy started one.

I'd thought people would grasp the idea with my last thread re dice rolling, but apparently they didn't. I thought about leaving this sarcasm explanation off the message but was afraid people might fail to grasp the fact I was being sarcastic, again.)

Not one of your better contributions to the roleplaying subforum, mate.

I'm not sure I'd be asking "why continue breathing" on a board where I generated as much dislike as you. Even if it's a joke, it's just too easy a door for folks. ;)

My joke re the trend was going to be: "Fuck, why" - Fuck, why?

While expressed with the usual spectacular inelegance we'e all come to expect from Nox, at the core of it I must confess I'm similarly annoyed with these stupid thread trends.

It was starting to feel like I was back on RPGnet again.  This thread itself only serves to be a reminder of one of the constant cycles of stupid I try to forget about RPOpen . . .

Hmm, your take on it might have been somewhat amusing, too bad you didn't make it.

As for me, the knowledge that the fact I'm breathing annoys you and some others here makes me decide it's worth the effort to keep it up.

At least I expressed my fatigue with the "XXxXXXX: Fuck, why?" threads, which is more than you did.:hehe:

Actually, I'd considered saying something myself, but I must say that I wouldn't have done it in a fashion that only serves to continue the trend.  It only serves to hammer home the reminder, because it's exactly how these stupid little "me too" thread trends inevitably played out there as well.

It's an affectation I've only really encountered on RPGnet, and it's one I'd hoped would stay there.

Where did I say that? Your stopping breathing means you stop typing, which means I lose a few good chuckles and guffaw per day. So please, as long as you aren't breathing in my face, continue.

Yeah. I was so ticked off when he complimented me I almost insinuated that his mother was a nice person, but didn't want him to fly off the handle again. ;)

I play only in games where the characters don't have to breathe :)

Unless they're breathing acid.

That's why me and his mother kept the noise down (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) whilst he was starching his hood.  Didn't want the poor lamb to have another of his tantrums.

One of Flann O'Brien's novels featured a professor who was certain that breathing oxygen was hazardous to your health.  I think it was The Dalkey Archive.

Breathing oxygen is bad in the long term. Free radical oxygen atoms slowly fuck your system up.;)

Maybe a new post should be "reading pundy's posts. Fuck, why?" and deal with the fact that all you ever do is call anyone who doesn't agree with you a "swine " or a "retard" all from the safety of that third world country you've fled too.

I guess down there there's not much chance of running into someone you've insulted and having him punch your teeth down your neck, as would likely happen to you if you ever opened your big mouth in the western world.

1.  You write that as if your own internet persona wouldn't get you knocked on your ass in the real world.

B.  Isn't Uruguay in the Western Hemisphere?  Which western world are you talking about?

Yeah, but he's a badass. Pundit's an old man. At least, that's what they tell me.

North America. That's the only real Western World, and we only let Canada and Mexico in out of pity.

Nox is in or around Frisco, Texas.

Oh and Nox, feel free to get your wheezing ass over to Edmonton, Canada in April, and I'll be glad to kick the shit out of you.
