Without anything to prove, we just come here and stare at each other's posts, like regulars eyeing each other across the bar from their prospective stools, going shot for shot, silently, judgementally. Eyes narrowed to slits, waiting for the other to make the first move. Its because the internet isn't anonymous anymore, we are all tweeting each other, we are all facebook friends, we all got jobs where we have to wear bigboy pants and a thousand other reasons. And even though the world has moved on, I for one am ecstatic this place still exists, that I can peek in on who we were, back when we were kings and the scene lay in ruins at our mighty feet.

A new thread getting past two pages?

A thread bump and a double post on the same page?

Coming out of slumber or just the nocturnal rumblings of the b.cum giant?

more like the end stage autolysis and putrefaction of the corpse. some faint gaseous emissions before the final withering, drying up and blowing away.

Just got done flashing all the v1's in the gym. Fell off all the v2. Fondled the pink tape roof route but feet never left the carpet.

Worst post ever contender.

Huge text post is huge, thanks droid.

What a shame.


Not only that, but the groms who started out here are now old men losing their minds.

But at least he did the Mandala.

So he's got that going for him, which, you know, is nice.
