Title: Now I feel special...
Post by: DW on May 04, 2010, 04:29:31 AM
TOB sent me an email saying they missed me!  They noticed that I hadn't visited in a while. I wonder why that is?  Oh well.

They sent me the same thing....  But, they used my login name from Ducati.ms instead of my old DML login (which BTW became a series of numbers after they locked me out permanently...).

If they ACTUALLY knew whom they had emailed....I doubt they would've sent it.  [evil]

Since clearly I have been overlooked by TOB...my brilliance and stature dismissed callously and out-of-hand,,

perhaps I should reintroduce myself to them with furnished references...in the form of links to the Pluot thread, select passages of psychotherapeutic counseling and analysis for Piller...

and many links to dating advice for the love-lorn

advice that I so gladly and selflessly offered to those poor souls who were cast adrift on the high seas of emotion (em-ocean?)

I hate being slighted...even by those whom I have little interest in

not always....some chicks stalk...usually the really crazy ones...

the ones that you initially liked a lot

because the really crazy ones usually fark like banshees and will do anything you want

and enjoy it more than you

but when that (once) cute cackle-laugh starts to get to you and they stare into your eyes unblinking for hours on end and you wake up in the middle of the night and they are sitting at the end of the bed gazing at you in the dark

and your penis gets exhausted and scared and hands the situation back to you to deal with....and you try to apologize for its behavior and tell them it is over and said penis is back in the yard on a leash

and they start doing really scary stuff like leaving dishes of butter patty's in front of your door when you are out

or follow you on business trips and check into the same hotel

or hide in your bushes and send you psychotic emails demanding to know who was with you Thursday night at your place

then your car gets flats and gets keyed

and ..oh...ummm ...sorry i digressed

Let's face it

they are pinging the user list in some desperate attempt to get more site hits to keep the advertisers spending more good money after bad.

advertisers must be coming up on renewals or something and from the looks of it, the traffic has to be abysmal

and they are seeing the tally and asking why they should spends "x dollars" for banner space on a washed-out  dead-end dirt road going down into some bottomless back-hollow

I use our vendors here and always make a point of telling them I saw them on the DMF (usually as I am trying to wheedle some additional member discount out of them)

i had a reason to be a nice troll with numerous aliases on the old board, as I had some friends and some supposed "fans."
