“The smell of you, And your intimacy”
I think I might have been spiked (ooo-err) once, but never knowingly.
Again, like the saunas, I don’t think there’s anything necessarily wrong with it. Unless it becomes a habit/addiction, which I know it has for Son of Harambe.

Reposting this, I already said everything I had to say to TheSmiths_IBS in this post below and I stand by every word. TL;DR unfunny, unjustifiably arrogant, has very little to say for himself, etc. I’m sorry that I dented his fragile ego but I’m moving on now. (And he started the thumbs down campaign on me which my honey bunny can attest to because she noticed it and commented on it at the time.) He started it and I finished it. Next!
All right you asked for it so let me oblige, but I’m getting it all out in this one post so don’t expect me to go back and forth with you after this.
Not enough people throughout the course of your life have informed you that you’re painfully unfunny. They’ve done you a disservice by not telling you, since you seem to base your entire identity around being “the funny guy” and yet you may be the least funny “funny guy” I’ve ever seen. Your low effort, repetitive, and uncreative posts don’t amuse me. Your shtick might have raised a few chuckles at school when you were 13 and you’ve carried around the misapprehension ever since that you’re funny, but your humour has been in stasis for 25 years and grown adults should rightly roll their eyes at your incessant and desperate attempts to get laughs.
But the annoying thing about you isn’t your lack of natural wit and how oblivious you are to it, it’s your unearned arrogance that goes along with it. You have no reason to be pleased with yourself: you’re not well-read, you’re not humorous, you don’t write engaging posts, and your Morrissey/general music knowledge appears to be lacking as well. Say what you will about Uncleskinny and Malarkey, at least when they come here 90% of their posts are about the subject of this forum, whereas you in contrast spend more time writing posts about Uncleskinny and Malarkey than about Morrissey. There’s a very good reason why you’re “moved to off-topic”.
And I’ve never touched a drug in my life and don’t personally know anyone who’s addicted to drugs but another thing you appear not to realise about comedy is that ‘punching down’ isn’t highly thought of, so using drug addiction as fodder for your “material” isn’t the best look. But I’m not surprised that you can’t come up with anything better, it’s like you watched a couple of series of Bottom and thought “I can do what they do, it’s easy, look”. Similar to how this guy thinks he could write in the style of Shakespeare if given enough time:

Redacted finds you funny at least, which is like a tone-deaf person enjoying a piece of music you composed. So she’ll laugh about drug addiction in this thread, then go and have a good cry about sexual abuse in the Russell Brand thread because she’s all over the place and her empathy towards downtrodden people in rough situations depends entirely on her mood.
By the way, do you remember the time recently that I ‘ratioed’ one of your posts? I did that specifically to draw a line between your lazy “humorous” posts and posts that are actually funny and relevant. The difference between putting a bit of thought into something and just going onto Google images and pasting the first image that comes up.
I don’t usually reach for the crowd pleasing posts but watching the deluge of ‘’ ratings come in for me while you received a few drops trickling down from mine filled my heart with gladness (made better by the fact that you were bothered enough by it that you felt the need to give it a thumb down), so I’m going to post both of them here again right now because I live a drug-free life and need the high:

About you attempting to stare menacingly at a bus driver for not letting you off at the right stop: you were too spineless to say anything to him about it, not exactly the shock of the century. 38 years old this year and too scared to put on your big boy pants and speak up for yourself. Just staring at him instead like a petulant schoolboy. Even if he had acknowledged you were staring at him and began looking back at you while stopped at a red light, you would have been the first one to break the stare and avert your gaze, I guarantee it. And taking the bus at 38 years old rather than driving yourself; imagine admitting to that. Are you another Carlisle Baz type manchild who never learned to drive? You exposed yourself in that post in so many ways and it’s incredible to me that you didn’t seem to realise how pathetic you came across.
It must be this rigorous pursuit of truth and evidence that wins you so many cases (when you’re daydreaming about being a lawyer, that is, either while sitting behind the desk doing your job as a receptionist at a law firm, or when your lawyer husband comes home and tells you about the case he worked on that day, whichever of the two of those is true because there’s no chance in hell that you are the lawyer).

There is no proof Palestinian fighters ‘beheaded’ babies. The only source is a radical settler.
U.S. and international media outlets are repeating unsubstantiated claims that Palestinian fighters "beheaded" babies. These unverified assertions aren't just sloppy journalism — they are being used to justify a massacre.BY DAVE REED OCTOBER 11, 2023 10
“One story has been dominating the U.S. and international media cycle for the past 24 hours. It has been repeated by pro-Israel activists, Israeli government officials, reporters, and anchors throughout the U.S. media and even alluded to by the President. The thing is — this story has not been confirmed in any way. It appears to come from a single source with a history of espousing calls for genocidal violence against Palestinians.
You have probably heard the story that Hamas fighters beheaded 40 Israeli children in the Kfar Aza community near Gaza. This story can be traced back to an article by Bel Trew, a reporter for The Independent. Trew entered Kfar Aza on October 10, soon after the Israeli army, and reported on Twitter that gunfire erupted just as they arrived. She is told by a member of the Israeli military that children were beheaded, but the article notes, “The Independent did not see evidence of this.”
The military source of this claim is Major David Ben Zion. According to his Twitter bio, he is the Deputy Head of the settler leadership organization, the Samaria Regional Council, and a member of the Board of Directors of the National Fund for Israel, a quasi-governmental agency used to acquire land in Palestine that is then made available exclusively for use by the Israeli state.
In this video clip, Ben Zion speaks directly to the camera. He says the soldiers found children with their heads cut off. He is incorrectly named on-screen in the video but is correctly named in the description below the video on YouTube.
In addition to his role in settler leadership, Ben Zion has a history of calls to genocidal violence.
Earlier this year, Israeli settlers carried out a so-called “reprisal attack” on the Palestinian village of Huwwara after an unknown Palestinian gunman killed two Israeli settlers. As we reported at the time, Israeli settlers launched a ‘pogrom’ on the night of February 26, attacking Palestinian homes and property in Huwwara, Burin, and across the Nablus area, burning houses, cars, vandalizing property, and assaulting Palestinians.
Following the reprisal attack on Huwwara carried out by Israeli settlers, Ben Zion wrote in a now-deleted tweet:
And The Independent wasn’t the only outlet to run the story. Later on October 10, according to the Times of Israel, the IDF took the foreign press on a tour of Kfar Aza to survey the scene and document the carnage left by the attacks. Nicole Zedek, a reporter with i24 News, filed a report repeating the claim that Hamas fighters beheaded children in the community: “Some soldiers say they found babies with their heads cut off, entire families gunned down in their beds.” This article also noted that the bodies of “[a]bout 40 babies and young children have been taken out on gurneys”.
Here, Major David Ben Zion relates a similar story to i24 News.
A similar claim was made in a video posted on CNN’s official Instagram, where reporter Nic Robertson says men, women and children were found with their “hands bound…executed, heads cut.” Robinson does not name his sources in the video report, or clarify if that information was independently verified by CNN.
It was not long before social media sites filled up with claims that Hamas fighters had beheaded 40 babies in Kfar Aza.
On October 11, the Israeli journalist Oren Ziv, who was also on the tour of Kfar Aza, wrote on Twitter, “During the tour we didn’t see any evidence of this, and the army spokesperson or commanders also didn’t mention any such incidents.”
He continued: “Soldiers I spoke with in Kfar Aza yesterday didn’t mention ‘beheaded babies.’ The army’s spokesperson stated: ‘We can not confirm at this point… we are aware of the heinous acts Hamas is capable of.’”
We don’t know exactly who the reporters on that tour spoke to, but as of yet, no independent news publication appears to have verified the claim made by Major David Ben Zion about finding beheaded children in Kfar Aza, and the Israeli military has even denied having evidence of the event.
And other similarly horrific stories that have been reported are also starting to fall apart. The Los Angeles Times has retracted similarly unconfirmed reports of rape, and reporters are beginning to “clarify” or retract their statements about this claim of beheadings. We will continue to follow this story.
Of course, if this horrific event did happen, the world needs to know about it because it is an indefensible war crime and will color and inform how we understand the unfolding events.
But If it did not happen, it is also important that the world know that a member of the Israeli military lied to journalists about such a gruesome crime and, in the process, helped create a global story with no bearing in fact beyond the claim of one person whose own history should put his trustworthiness under deep suspicion.
And regardless of when the truth comes out, it is possible the damage has been done. As has been the case in many recent examples, in the rush to war, misreporting or intentional misinformation can help build support for deadly consequences.”
There is no proof Palestinian fighters ‘beheaded’ babies. The only source is a radical settler.
U.S. and international media outlets are repeating Israeli claims that Palestinian fighters “beheaded” babies. These unverified claims aren’t just sloppy journalism — they are being used to justify a massacre.

I straighten up, and my position is one of hope.
I love the fight between Born to Eat Meringue and 85. Two titans of shit-posting.
In one corner we have the cyber bully to end all cyber bullies, a man who single-handedly soils the reputation of all autists everywhere, the least humble person on planet earth, the creepiest weirdo creep of all of So-Low, and in the other corner we have a man who’s schtick is based around him being blasé and not liking anything. And that’s about it. I think you all know who’s who.
I wouldn’t want any of them at my birthday party, but I would perhaps consider having a beer with 85 on one of his good days.

You know absolutely nothing. You have the rare talent of being on the wrong side of every discussion you enter into. “For example, a black man killing a white man isn’t racism. He might’ve had a racial motive, but that’s not the same thing.” — Gregor Samsa. “Baz is mostly harmless and good-natured”, “he’s a decent enough guy” — Gregor Samsa. “Verso, despite being a bit too critical of latter day Moz, is one of my favorite people on So-Low.” — Gregor Samsa.
I’ve been vegan for the past 8 and a half years and I’ve never eaten meringue, you stupid b******. You recently took to calling me obese, when for most of my adult life I weighed somewhere between 133-140 pounds which is probably less than what you weigh. I’m not autistic which would be clear if you paid proper attention and didn’t just pop up every couple of months making sweeping generalisations. You know nothing about me, most of what I write goes over your head because you only glance at it. How many times have I seen you decide you don’t like someone and argue with them, only to change your tune months later and conclude “they’re not so bad after all”? You did it recently with Rifke. You’ve done it enough times that I associate you with doing that and you’d probably change your mind about me too at some stage.
Have you ever considered just not making any comments about a person until you’re sure you know what they’re about? Why do you insist on making your feelings about people known when it’s clear from what you write that you don’t read enough of their posts to have a good grasp on who they are. I guarantee you don’t know any relevant information about me: my age, where I live, my diet until I just told you, my weight until I just told you, my favourite Morrissey song or if I’ve been to any Morrissey shows, anything at all like that. You’re clueless, which makes your insistence on letting me know how you feel about me that much stranger. Nothing you wrote is reflective of who I am and you’re venting at a fictional person of your own creation. If you’re not going to put any effort into learning anything about who you’re talking to, why don’t you just ignore my posts entirely and go away? Then you can save yourself the bother of writing any more bimonthly rants where you’re no better informed than you were the previous times.

You’re just proving all of my points. The digging up of old quotes proves that you’re a weirdo creep. The fact that you get riled up by the meringue and weight bit and take it literally indicates that you’re probably autistic. And the fact that you’re creating threads and quizzes about yourself proves that humility is probably not your strong suit.
I don’t need to know what sort of underwear you wear or what your favorite chair to eat meringue in is, to know that you’re an utterly unpleasant character.
And since I possess at least a small portion of humility, I have no problem changing my opinion of people. Many people change, and sometimes I change. It’s the normal ebb and flow. You, however, are as unpleasant and creepily weird now as you were when I first interacted with you.
I look forward to further bouts between you and 85 and I trust that he will continue to clobber you given half a chance. I’ll chime in when needed.

It’s not “digging up”, have you ever heard of the search function? I know you said you didn’t even realise this site had an off topic section until after you had been posting here for 15 years or something, but it’s as simple as typing in a username and a couple of key words. I remembered your comments because they were stupid enough that I couldn’t help but remember them. I’m sorry that you think it’s creepy to have a good memory, but I can’t force myself to forget information just because you find it unsettling. If you don’t want comments you make to be remembered/searchable, either don’t type them or delete them a few days after you post them. Or just deal with it in a level-headed manner and don’t get your knickers in a twist, yeah?
If it’s not meant to be taken literally then what’s the point of saying it, what other purpose does it serve? So just to be clear: the autistic part is meant to be taken literally, but the meringue/weight parts are not? And I’m meant to keep up with this how exactly? The whole meringue/weight thing has been a fixture of your posts to me for the past while, and now you’re admitting that you’ve basically been saying it for no real reason. Surely not because you thought it was funny? That can’t be it. You’ve just been wasting my time and your time with it — D.O.A. banter.
The fact that you get riled up and take it literally rather than as a bit of a laugh indicates that you’re probably autistic — or maybe just the biggest dryballs posting on this site. Why do I imagine you as a reverend with a Bible open on your knee, clutching your chest and gasping at every minor thing that offends you? The driest of the dry.
Nobody cares, get over yourself, stop taking everything so seriously.
Feel free to provide a list of all the unpleasant/creepy/weird things I’ve done to make it clear what we’re talking about here. Don’t worry, I won’t find you “creepy” for remembering! And you’ll have to do better than “-gasps- he recalled a few comments I made on this site, and then he -clutches chest- used the site's search function and found them, which is not unlike something John Wayne Gacy might have done”. And since you called me a bully, how about pointing out who I’ve bullied? Even name just one person if you’re struggling! Go on Gregor, who have I bullied? You!?
There won’t be further bouts because I’m done, like I said. Do you expect me to sit here doing this for weeks? But surely if he has been clobbering me, then you chiming in wouldn’t be needed? When you’re done listing my creepiest moments and the people I’ve bullied, how about providing a list of the ways in which I was “clobbered” so I can have a proper good laugh? Let’s see how delusional you truly are.
Gregor Samsa
I straighten up, and my position is one of hope.
I don’t think so. I think you log what all of your many antagonists on this site say and do, and then you dig out whatever they’ve said that you disagree on whenever you get riled up, in order to try and put them in their place. It’s completely in line with your character.
The fact that you need this explained to you is very autistic of you, isn’t it?
You calling me dry can’t ever be insulting. And I love reading the Bible.
Life is serious business. Oh, and pot meet kettle.
And I won’t ever, ever provide you with any lists, you absolute lunatic. I’m sure this will have you in bitter tears, tearing your hair out, driving you to want to make all sorts of assumptions and call me all sorts of names. Please, go ahead. But even typing this is far too time consuming. The only one here that takes these arguments that serious is you. And the only one as anal and autistic on this site to even think about making lists of all the things that bug them about other forum members is…drum roll…YOU. But I will say that digging up and keeping track of everything that certain forum members has written is deeply disturbing, dare I say even creepy, behavior. You also strike me as someone who would not be averse to doxing. Am I wrong?
Good for you for copping out of further arguments with 85. Self-preservation is a virtue.

i dont like you guys using meringue as an insult. meringue is superb! i wish i knew someplace where i could buy some. good meringue, that is, the chewy kind, not the hard kind that crumbles when you bite into it.

I like meringue too! Both the crunchy and the chewy kind. I just wasn’t born to eat it. Unlike some…
