Get a thicker skin, or get the HELL outta Dodge City!

Posted on by Eric Brooks

I’m not going to waste my bandwidth (or your time) linking to Pocono Crybaby’s recent rant about us outlaws in the wild west and how some joke of a legislation in New Jersey is going to curb all anonymous postings and blogging and protect people supposedly being slandered and defamed…

The readers digest version is: He’s cheering it on because he doesn’t want to be criticized. Any form of criticism to him is “slander”. End of story. I’m not allowed to call him a moron and a crybaby… even doing it here under my REAL name.

I know. Sick, right?

First of all, there is no way in HELL this bill is going to pass. If “Mr. Renegade Blogger” had half a brain and a little experience outside of his pathetic little world, he’d KNOW we’ve been though this over and over… Continue reading “Get a thicker skin, or get the HELL outta Dodge City!”

Problem Adults withdrawal?

Hey all….

Yes the site is still down. The hell if I know why, and ~T~ can’t tell us anything because the hosting company isn’t telling ~T~ anything. (So take that site, multiply it by the number of all her clients… and now you know why that poor woman is close to having a nervous breakdown right now).

So, I guess it’ll be back when it’ll be back. I have a kid in the hospital right now, busy shuffling other kids back & forth and trying to keep a brand new job I just started… so frankly, I’m sort of enjoying the hiatus. I also know this kind of stuff happens with new servers, so we all can give them a little more patience and understanding as I’m sure they’re doing all they can… some sites have ALREADY returned, so that’s a good sign.

But one thing I do want to make clear… WE WILL BE BACK. I didn’t pull the site because I quit.

Believe me, when I’ve had enough of the place, I’ll just leave quietly. Too many people have invested a lot of time, money, work and energy into the clubhouse for me to do something that unfair to them. You’re paying for the hosting, all the games, and all the modules… It belongs to YOU.

I’ll mass-email all the members when it’s back… no need to keep driving yourself nuts by checking.

See you soon…

Update 3/25/06: As of 6:30 AM…. we’re BAAAAAAAAAACK!

Three cheers for the Mighty ~T~!!!!

There are two kinds of people in the world…

  1. People that want to be lied to.
  2. People that *say* they don’t want to be lied to (but really, they want to be lied to).

There wouldn’t be all those Nigerian con-artists, Elvis sightings and the Weekly World News if it weren’t true. And the old breakup line “It’s not you, it’s me.” wouldn’t be so popular.

Trust me. You WANT to be lied to.
This is why we teach our kids that many of their observations are considered “rude”. Children are WAY too honest and have to be taught to lie in polite society.

I observe people all the time. The good and the bad.
Most people don’t want to hear the bad. And when they do, they seem to forget all the good things I’ve said about them. They just remember the bad. They get incredibly defensive and nasty.

I guess it looks like I’m passing judgement on them, but I’m not. I see things differently than most people. I look beyond the mask you’ve put on and see all the pain and the scars, and all your flaws… the things you either don’t know (or don’t WANT to know) about yourself.

And believe me… I am my own worst critic. You can’t put me down as well as I can.

I don’t see you and all your flaws as a good or a bad person.
It just makes you human. That’s all.

No judgments. Just observations.

THE WEB GOD SPEAKS!!!!

… AND HE SAYS IN A LOUD BOOMING VOICE….

“Jesus Christ I gotta clean the loft today. What a mess!” OY!

  • My ash tray runneth over. I smoke WAY too damn much.
  • And cleaning comment spam out of here has become a full time job. (What’s up with the new shit that reads like gibberish?).
  • ~T~ is moving us all on a new server so I’ve been tidying up and backing up all my MySQL data.

    • Don’t you wish you were me?
    Sorry. The position of annoying & sarcastic pain in the ass on the web has already been taken! 😛

    But man, speaking of WebGods… are my eyes decieving me? Did I just get a visit by the one and only Mz. Kitty?

    I mean, damn… this woman is an internet legend! I remember a time where you couldn’t visit a blog or website that didn’t have her graphics on it! Well, of course I’m still here darling… with all these “Eric Brookses” out there clamoring for this domain name, I ain’t letting it go! 😀

    I love when I get emails from some guy named “Eric Brooks”… they’re always amazed to find someone with the same name as them (look in the white pages, genius!). Wonder if all the guys named “Danny Gonzalez” go through this… I had three friends with that name growing up.

    Is it me or do all guys named Eric Brooks think they’re the center of the universe? If I irritate you people even HALF as much as these guys do to me… I am SOOOO SORRY!

    See a therapist! Maybe we can all get a group discount or something.

    I’ve been neglecting you, haven’t I?

    I suck.
    I know that.

    I think I’ll spend the day dropping in on all my cyberpals in the blogosphere and let you guys know I love you, ok?

    And if you’re up for some fun, register at Problem Adults. We have HUGE group chats every Wednesday and Saturday nights (that’s tonight!)… make some friends have some fun!

    FOUR MILLION VISITORS!!!!

    Posted on by Eric Brooks

    WOO HOO! My four millionth visitor walked in today at 10:02:22 AM!

    Congratulations! You won a can of Turtle Wax!!!!
    Damn, too bad this site was closed for two years, I’d be at 6 million by now.

    ICE CREAM PARTY FOR EVERYONE!!!!

    In Other News…

    PS: Awwww, it seems the pathetic and delusional Wayne Meyers is still obsessing and brooding over me dissing him.

    Too bad. I haven’t given you second thought in weeks. You’re not even worth a normal sized font.
    Seriously, dude. Get over yourself, seek help, and let it go while you still think you have control over this situation ok? I can make this situation unbearable if I want to.

    *points and laughs at this unimportant individual*

    Dear Senator Specter: I love you!

    Republican Senator reminds Atty General Gonzales ‘President does not have a blank check’

    Can I get a HELL YEAH!
    Checks and balances, baby! That’s why the power is split in three equal parts in our government.

    I can’t express how much this all makes me nervous. I was under the impression that the CIA and the FBI have “watchlists”. They know who the badguys are, they’re keeping tabs on them. So why is this “Surveillance Program” so urgent and vital to the War on Terror?

    Now to all the sheep in this country that reason all their rights away with “Go ahead, I’ve got nothing to hide! Nyuk! Nyuk!”. Chew on this:

    Specter told Gonzales that even the Supreme Court had ruled that “the president does not have a blank check.” Specter suggested that the program’s legality be reviewed by a special federal court set up by the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

    Gonzales then panicked, sputtered more pre-fabricated talking points, rhetoric about how the sky is falling and freaked out as this curveball wasn’t covered in his cue cards from the White House…

    So I ask our Federal Government the same question… why not run it past the Federal Court and check it for legalities?

    You have nothing to hide, right?
