does any1 think 90% of threads are pointless

bLINK2005uk	Date: January 15, 2005 @ 1:47 AM eg. 1 does any1 visit artisits websites ? 2 so when does ur 2005 start ? - jan 1st maybe its me or people have too much time on there hands 3 this thread
Droquen	Date: February 28, 2005 @ 3:57 PM They're usually pointless. But hey, it all adds to the interaction between artists/users so doesn't hurt.
MindSculpture	Date: March 1, 2005 @ 7:50 AM 4 this thread again
imemine	Date: March 1, 2005 @ 9:14 AM ......and your point is?
Cryxan	Date: March 1, 2005 @ 4:22 PM Pointlessless is in the eye of the beholder. If all threads were about something important, people wouldn't hang out in the forum because it'd be too taxing. It's the pointless threads that keep people around for the relevant ones.
BlackMage	Date: March 2, 2005 @ 11:54 AM One of my threads got mentioned. Hurray-a for me! This forum's threads have been pointless for ages. I think they've gotten more sense to them now than two years ago. But it's getting pretty pointless when people start pointing out how pointless it is. But at least this place has gotten mostly ridden of flamewars.
-dp-	Date: March 2, 2005 @ 12:30 PM Is this like the 90% of statistics are bollocks thing. V. clever, first time I've seen irony in a forum.
Resiliance	Date: March 2, 2005 @ 5:02 PM The forum just isn't active enough.
GreatGooglyM...	Date: March 3, 2005 @ 10:00 AM Yeah, and you haven't seen Ultimate Guitar's forums... We need more activity here.
Svensta	Date: March 3, 2005 @ 11:08 AM 85% of statistics are either made-up or misleading. Who wants to discuss news and/or politics all day anyway?
ICF	Date: March 3, 2005 @ 1:57 PM Ok.. imagine this, lonely old men and women, great musicians, but dont get out much. They find this site, they find other musical humans.. they're not just gonna talk about music to them! They're gonna have the same pointless conversations as kids do because they wont be pointless to them.. So theres my contribution to this other pointless thread
BlackMage	Date: March 7, 2005 @ 3:06 PM No wait... my thread wasn't mentioned. "so when does ur 2005 start" My thread name had "when did your 2005 start?" My bad!
imemine	Date: March 7, 2005 @ 3:09 PM Who you calling "old" ICF?
ICF	Date: March 7, 2005 @ 3:49 PM Sorry.. was just generalising
leplume	Date: March 7, 2005 @ 8:45 PM I'm old! Well, I feel old anyway...And I've been listening to alot of music here. And frnakly there is just not enough Lawrence Welk for my liking!
sinai	Date: March 7, 2005 @ 9:47 PM i'm not old, i'm just too lazy to leave the house
Jesuszilla	Date: March 8, 2005 @ 6:24 PM All my posts are pointless and tend to made up of complete gibberish, usually run several times through a translater. All my masts are unjustified and stretch at composition of the complete run, usually marks by one to shift.
Jesuszilla	Date: March 8, 2005 @ 6:25 PM And my spelling is terrible. Translator!
BlackMage	Date: March 8, 2005 @ 6:51 PM "usually run several times through a translater" So that's your secret! Gotta try it myself...
GTLive	Date: March 9, 2005 @ 8:00 AM ICF was definately talking about me with that last remark. sniffle.
pancreaspuppet	Date: March 9, 2005 @ 8:28 AM I think what this thread needs is 25% less point.
Jesuszilla	Date: March 9, 2005 @ 8:48 AM I must agree there with marionnette which produces itself, if someone terminated falls and their head is struck by the pointy edge of a thread there would be much blood, which would climb down the short whole equipment in the host and cycle, on which this place works.
Intergalacti...	Date: March 9, 2005 @ 11:22 AM Lol yeah they are and this adds to it but whatever its somehtin to talk about
zedsalt	Date: March 9, 2005 @ 11:49 AM I like the stuff that's been translated into Chinese and back into English in the most literal way possible. There's such a poetic beauty to it.
kingo	Date: March 9, 2005 @ 12:15 PM Now that i'm saying this, this thread is officially 37% less pointless, thus surpassing the mark set by pancreaspuppet. We are in the hall of fame. It feels good.
dkeifer	Date: March 9, 2005 @ 4:20 PM God, my head hurts. What's this show? Hey, who took a bit of my cookie?
DaveWL	Date: March 9, 2005 @ 4:28 PM That's 37% less pointless as an average across all age groups. For the 60+ age group(that's Gary Tucker, Imemine etc) it's as much as 64% less pointless.
kingo	Date: March 9, 2005 @ 5:10 PM ldmen:
leplume	Date: March 9, 2005 @ 8:06 PM Now you did it...the whole nursing home is on the rampage!
pancreaspuppet	Date: March 10, 2005 @ 5:52 AM Jesuszilla!!! I have one thing to say to you!!! If you obtained a dollar for every starter shaft that has urged it to wish launch, they would have several full buckets of cash. Then I would use those moneies in order to constitute a bottom for a square of excellent-manifestos, that they make only the starter shafts that they do not have the meant one. Then the envelope of volont of assurdit the world!!!
GTLive	Date: March 10, 2005 @ 7:07 AM Respect your elders. Or, your ancients as the case may be.
MindSculpture	Date: March 10, 2005 @ 7:34 AM according to a recent non-existent survey, 90% of these threads are pointless...my point is there is probably only a 20% chance of that.
Svensta	Date: March 10, 2005 @ 3:05 PM What's more to the point(less) is this: What the hell is a pancreas puppet?
kingo	Date: March 10, 2005 @ 3:14 PM That's when you have a puppet made out of a pancreas.
Intergalacti...	Date: March 10, 2005 @ 4:27 PM Its quite self explanatory really. Oh by the way what do you think the saying is: 'Go blow a donkey' or 'Go blow a goat'
BlackMage	Date: March 11, 2005 @ 10:32 AM If it is more hairdryer implied the task, which goes from the numbers. Gotta love those translators...
Svensta	Date: March 11, 2005 @ 10:45 AM Is it a puppet made of pancreas material, or a puppet of synthetic fabrics made to resemble a pancreas? And how many would kjnow what a pancreas resembles in the wild?
zedsalt	Date: March 11, 2005 @ 11:48 AM "All water served in this establishment was personally passed by the management" "Anatomy of a Cheeseburger: 1. bread 2. cheese 3. flesh..." Both are real-life examples.
imemine	Date: March 11, 2005 @ 11:58 AM Fleshburger
shadowself	Date: March 11, 2005 @ 2:42 PM Any thread with "any1" in the subject will be pointless. So I didn't read it.
Intergalacti...	Date: March 11, 2005 @ 7:05 PM lol good point you know shadowself. Is that a shadow of yourself or a self preserved shadow.... please explain
shadowself	Date: March 11, 2005 @ 11:00 PM A shadow within myself. It's a reference to a Kevin Gilbert song.
shadowself	Date: March 11, 2005 @ 11:03 PM I read the thread from the bottom to the top. It was sseltniop.
pancreaspuppet	Date: March 13, 2005 @ 6:00 AM I think the question we all need to ask ourselves is this: what isn't a pancreas puppet? eh? eh? That's the question burning within our souls. Perhaps deep down we all are a little pancreas-constituted and puppet-like.
zedsalt	Date: March 13, 2005 @ 10:12 AM Truer words were never spoken. And on this topic, allow me to remind folks that the shelf life of a Twinkie, provided the seal remains integral, is twelve years. And one is MUCH more likely to have extraneous nipples up by the armpits or down by the crotch then they are to have one centered between the other two. Just thought you all should know!
pancreaspuppet	Date: March 14, 2005 @ 5:40 PM "And one is MUCH more likely to have extraneous nipples up by the armpits or down by the crotch then they are to have one centered between the other two." Great! So I AM unique after all!!!
leplume	Date: March 14, 2005 @ 6:54 PM um, define "extraneous"...
redrasta	Date: March 15, 2005 @ 12:16 AM " he was born with dual rectums....an 'extra -anus'...." sigh
Svensta	Date: March 15, 2005 @ 7:58 AM Yes, and everyone wishing for a psychic third eye should realize that chances are it will NOT be conveniently located in your forehead. The gift of clairvoyance will be most likely offset by your need to take your pants off to see.
zedsalt	Date: March 15, 2005 @ 11:26 AM I read somewhere that the abilities attributed to the third eye might generate from the pineal gland, which would put the bindi in it's proper place, more or less. Another bit of useless info from my figurative extra anus.

Intergalacti...	Date: March 16, 2005 @ 7:37 PM I'm drunk as a motherfucker
BOWILLIE	Date: March 17, 2005 @ 12:22 PM pineapple gland?
southwing	Date: March 18, 2005 @ 1:26 AM mmmmm, food, now we're gettin some where
leplume	Date: March 19, 2005 @ 2:40 PM I think I had my pineapple glands removed when I was young. It was during the great pina colada pandemic that struck the midwestern US in the late 1970's.
Intergalacti...	Date: March 19, 2005 @ 6:52 PM aaah yes sad times, the pain and misery going through the US at those times was catastrophic with the millions of deaths lets hope it never happens again.
zedsalt	Date: March 20, 2005 @ 10:39 AM There's just one, centrally-located pineal gland in each of our brains. And I'm told it doesn't taste like pineapple; it's more like chicken liver.
Intergalacti...	Date: March 20, 2005 @ 1:00 PM Everything tastyes like chicken if it doesnt have its own taste anyway
Cryxan	Date: March 20, 2005 @ 4:44 PM Ah but chicken liver doesn't taste like chicken.
leplume	Date: March 21, 2005 @ 7:04 PM Cripes you're right...what is that taste anyway?
Intergalacti...	Date: March 22, 2005 @ 10:55 AM hmmm not sure tastes like chicken but not ya know?
kingo	Date: March 22, 2005 @ 11:06 AM Chicken liver tastes like cow testacles.
leplume	Date: March 22, 2005 @ 12:13 PM I don't even want to know how you know that!
DaveWL	Date: March 22, 2005 @ 5:50 PM Halaka is literally talking bollock. In fact Bullock's Bollocks to be precise. Can't we put this thread out of it's misery - perhaps a swift bullet through the brain.
Cryxan	Date: March 22, 2005 @ 6:04 PM Brain tastes like chicken, too.
TameasDust	Date: March 23, 2005 @ 7:04 AM we all have to sometime
DaveWL	Date: March 23, 2005 @ 7:07 AM
Svensta	Date: March 23, 2005 @ 7:43 AM Rocky Mountain oysters taste like.... well... balls.
sinai	Date: March 23, 2005 @ 8:24 AM fresh out fo the gym balls? or just your average run of the mill balls?
leplume	Date: March 23, 2005 @ 2:43 PM great big swinging gorilla balls?
Jesuszilla	Date: March 24, 2005 @ 9:52 AM I am painful concerned in order to uncover examined what a woman is and which a man is, who is made true and who is a true woman or who is a man, and a woman or a true and genuine man of the woman infact, but neither one nor other one at the same time it than that one.
imemine	Date: March 24, 2005 @ 9:54 AM ….we have no bananas today!
Intergalacti...	Date: March 24, 2005 @ 6:57 PM I prefer pears to bananas I much prefer the juicy fruit but ever had bananas on bread? Exquisite
mattbanx	Date: March 27, 2005 @ 3:11 PM I like this site overall. I notice though that if you put a MP3 in to a certain genre, as an example pop/rock, that it does not show up in the main pop genre, either through recent downloads or the browse search. I also get that with the Other genre. I would like more traffic for feedback. Maybe there is something I left out. But in some areas there does not seem to be enough to go with the links. Anyway, that is my problem. Ta Da! Matt
bLINK2005uk	Date: May 2, 2005 @ 4:22 PM point proven people
imemine	Date: May 2, 2005 @ 4:43 PM This thread needs some substance!……… You know, like something we can abuse or something. Then we could call it the Substance Abuse thread….or start another one called that or something and stuff and things! Then it would fall into that other 10 %. Ya know, life is really an 80/20 proposition anyway. So I refer to my original post-----what’s your point?----------point----------- it’s not polite to point
furiousBall	Date: May 2, 2005 @ 4:45 PM someone mention balls in here?
zedsalt	Date: May 3, 2005 @ 1:00 PM I refuse to abuse balls of any sort.
greatscottpr...	Date: May 3, 2005 @ 1:06 PM Nt If YU use a seing machine
koiulpoi	Date: May 4, 2005 @ 6:34 AM So, doesn't that put us up to around 100% useless? But useless is fun! Hehehe, blue balls.
MindSculpture	Date: May 4, 2005 @ 8:05 AM balls and twangers!
imemine	Date: May 4, 2005 @ 10:02 AM You know that there is a Blue Ball Pennsylvania? I’ve actually stayed at the Blue Ball Bed & Breakfast. It’s just North East of Bird in hand and Intercourse and not far from Paradise………..Pennsylvania! It’s true, in Amish country Lancaster County. And you thought this thread was pointless.
DaveWL	Date: May 4, 2005 @ 10:51 AM The fact that there is a town called Blue Ball is kinda dull really. A town called Intercourse – now that’s hilarious. Do people visit it much - I mean how often do people go all the way to Intercourse?
imemine	Date: May 4, 2005 @ 11:05 AM Yes, Intercourse is actually the hub of Amish country in Lancaster County and people visit it in LARGE numbers with great frequency. More than Blue Ball in fact but that was the segue you see. My wife and I used to get away from the kids and go to Paradise a couple times a year when we lived in Maryland. Nice quiet place in Paradise and just minutes from Intercourse. And if you can’t make it to Intercourse, remember that Bird in Hand is also just minutes away too! Which IMO is still better than Blue Ball!
DaveWL	Date: May 4, 2005 @ 11:32 AM It's kind of an unfortunate set of town names or maybe the Amish people knew exactly what they were doing. You can write your own tourist promo- "come to Amish country - experinece Intercourse and take your wife to Paradise and back." Me I'd probably get stuck with Blue Ball
imemine	Date: May 4, 2005 @ 11:34 AM That's why Bird in Hand is there too!
zedsalt	Date: May 4, 2005 @ 12:38 PM Some friends of mine brought me a souvenir t-shirt from Big Bone Lick, KY. They said they got me that one because they didn't sell t-shirts down the road in Beaver Lick, but I have my suspicions. Don't underestimate the bawdiness of the Amish. All of the Pennsylvania Dutch I learned in elementary school is profanity of one sort or another. The problem is, no Amish person has ever ticked me off badly enough to justify using what I know of their language.
Intergalacti...	Date: May 4, 2005 @ 2:10 PM I would like to meet an Amish person
imemine	Date: May 4, 2005 @ 2:22 PM Amish Person " id="133543">Amish Person
zedsalt	Date: May 5, 2005 @ 12:42 PM I don't know what, if any, web presence they have, but there's a band that performs around here on a regular basis called The Electric Amish. They do "Mennonized" versions of popular tunes (The Beatles' "I Want to Hold Your Hand" becomes "I Want to Hoe Your Land", for instance). The parents of three of my fave Dmusic denizens (jd2theog, mystery-machine, sgtmay) are among TEA's biggest fans.
jd2theog	Date: June 24, 2005 @ 9:10 AM gay foost da coo,oslo. its all so-so or 50/50 just how ya look at it!! areosmith's sweet emotion becomes "were from goshen" The Electric Amish crack me up!! great GOD what a good laugh!! not realy Amish,this makes the true Amish mad Around here we call'em Bucket Heads.good people,plus they can bake some of the best treats you ever had!!plus some of em'Bucket Heads grow some good no joke!!so thats a good combo,sweet leaf & sweet bread. when they get old enough they can go wild,:drive:,and often do just that till the day comes when they go back to their Amish ways or become...... Fence Jumpers.
imemine	Date: June 24, 2005 @ 10:33 AM Ah yes, the 90% 0f threads are pointless thread rebirthed from the dead. Reminds me of the good ole days when you had to 'live life to the fullest'.
zedsalt	Date: June 24, 2005 @ 12:14 PM "Gay foost da coo" is phonetic for one of the few things I know how to say in Pennsylvania Dutch (the language most Amish in this area speak, though there are a number who speak Old High German, too. "Old High German" doesn't have anything to do with the :Leaf: JDog mentioned). "Gay foost da coo" is a suggestion that the listener leave to go...um..."have relations" with a cow. Here's a nice, relatively inoffensive Amish joke: What's three foot tall and does carpentry? A toy Yoder!
Alecs	Date: July 2, 2005 @ 8:46 PM "Reminds me of the good ole days when you had to 'live life to the fullest'." LOL, the good ol' days
