    Memorable Posts

    Over the years, there have been many interesting and enlightening posts on the Litnet forums but, occasionally, a particular post seems so apposite and articulates a philosophical point of view so succinctly that it's imagery remains firmly fixed in the mind. Do any Litnetters have a particular favourite?
    Here's mine, I will always treasure it, with special refrerence to the use of tazers.

    Terror, fear, extreme ****-kicking, teargas, rubber bullets & tazers on the bollocks are the best methods to use on rioting looters.

    These 3 posts together are one of my favorite - hilarious.


    Alex: Someone hasn't been laid in a while...

    G.L: That's it - sex - that's my problem.

    Alex: If you live anywhere from Valencia to Petersburg, I could visit and give you a delightful shagging; you don't need to look like adonis, so long as you can be described as handsome or pretty (I am unsure weather you are male or female) - Either way I am up for it.

    My recent favorite is from my good pal Red-Headed (the second of hers to appear here, as it happens). It reads:

    A/ Mind your own business.

    B/ You are an obvious joke.

    C/ Have you nothing better to do or say about the OT other than troll me about your childish tantrums over G.L. Wilson?

    D/ You have finally made my ignore list.

    I thought RH was a female too.

    I have just been into RH's profile and there's nothing there to indicate one way or the other. The blog ( silly word ) seems to consist of a lot of poems which might have been written by a male or female. Of course, I may be wrong but RH's recent posts have a masculine slant which, admittedly, doesn't preclude the possibility that they were written by a woman.

    What's it matter? R-H doesn't seem to care, as she hasn't bothered to clarify one way or another, as she has seen people refer to her as both male and female. I assumed from the name, mostly, and I'm not the only one. Anyways, like you said, there's nothing to indicate one way or another. In any case, I did/do not not mean to be insulting by referring to R-H as a female (as if she cares, she can't see my posts, anyway).

    Why I can't have this bag?
    The first and only thread created by some random girl asking why her boyfriend won't let her buy a particular handbag. It was very strange, to the point of being cool.

    There are some corkers along the way but, to save possible embarrassment, it might be better not to reveal the name of the poster.

    Quirky. I gues it was one of those 'you needed to be there' things. Would have been surreal I'm sure lol.

    Would it be fair of me to suggest *anything* by the late Musicology..?
    "I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche

    Oh man, I almost forgot about the legend that was Musicology. How can you choose just one post?

    I must admit that Musicology has loomed large in my thoughts re this thread
    but setting him aside for the moment, how about this one from a couple of years ago?


    women can't pee in the woods? I do it all the time! Well, not standing up, of course.. anyway, when it comes to taking a crap in the woods we're all the same, boys, girls, blokes, men, women ...
