I like that one. The...sexual overtones are a little...okay, not going there.
I'm also a bit interested by the repeated suggestion that I might be suicidal. I don't know whether that's just wishful thinking or a really clumsy attempt at soft-soap brainwashing. Like that one episode of Arrested Development, that was pretty funny, eh?
I've been checked out by the mental health police plenty of times, but they never were able to figure anything out. Probably due to their fundamental assumption that I was human. I'm sure that some of the humanistic traits I've picked up over the years could be considered neurotic patterns if anyone who understood my kind were to check, but I often find them quite useful. You know, since usually I don't make a big deal about how I'm only on this planet in the first place to assist in "human telophase procedures".
But hey, somebody asked. And I'm not in the habit of lying or evading an honest question. You can all ignore it as a joke or a delusion if you like, I'm not particularly impaired by it and there's nothing you can do to change it, so chalk it up to eccentricity if that makes you more comfortable.
The original point was to figure out what you would say about me, not to tell you anything about myself, after all.

Of course, if he's not kidding, I, for one, welcome our new alien overlords and would just like to point out that there's a lot of free real estate out Utah way.
You're just sucking up because you hope our new overlords will let you pilot the ship. On second thought, I second your sentiment. Only good things can come from their enlightened rule. Plus, when they let ME pilot the ship I can pretend to be Wash.

I'm sort of wondering whether I should say anything in response to that...I think I'll simply caution you that you might not want to count on being allowed to pretend you're Wash while piloting the ship.

I don't think it would happen again. I mean, it's a proven fact that lighting absolutely never strikes the same place twice, right?

I'm afraid you don't understand human beings nearly as well as you might think you do if you believe it's wishful thinking, or an attempt at brainwashing. Both would require intent, and no intent for either suicide on your part or brainwashing to you exists.

This probably has much more to do with the general lack of in depth responses than do your other claims about humanity and lack thereof.

What the hell is going on here? I've been trying to figure this through seeing a few scattered posts of Survivor's, but I can't put it together. I'm hesitant to pronounce crackpot status and consider the case closed, if only because this much oldbie interest usually warrants patience to see what's coming.
Anyone care to explain?

erosomniac, just because a troll is old doesn't mean he's not a troll.
Think about it. Even murderers get old and some of them are grandparents. Doesn't make them any less a murderer. Which is not to equate that to Survivor, but to clarify a point.
Going by Survivor's recent posts (I don't remember him prior to his recent spate), I would call him a troublemaker and disturber. I get the distinct impression that he cares more for his own entertainment regardless of the cost to others, or perhaps the entertainment value increases in relation to the emotional cost to others. I think he's egocentric and angry and is taking it out on Hatrack.
The fact that he's been around for a while means nothing to me. He's still a crank.

Ask Survivor...he is the soul of discretion, after all.
Don't worry about him, seriously....it doesn't matter if he is cracked or if he just wants us to think he is. Posts: 15082 | Registered: Jul 2001

Hey, Survivor. I just realized who you are. We've actually met in person a couple of times. Sorry for not remembering.
Most of my interaction with you has been on another forum. I must admit that I didn't understand you there or the circumstances surrounding you leaving any more than I've understood you over her.
But then, I don't understand your sister half the time either, so that doesn't really mean that much.

He's the same one I saw in that landmark thread, where he was all like "I have shed tears for humanity and wonder if I in all my benevolence ever really gave your species a real chance, but that wasn't my choice to make; I do not have authority with my (INSERT WHATEVER CULT/ALIEN COLLECTIVE HE'S KNEE-DEEP IN) to be allowed to save your 'kind', but I do like to wander about and be bemused with what you silly little humans do!" etc etc etc so the theme is very consistent. If he's being honest then he's totally cracked! If it's a play, then he's very good at playing a total nutball.

Please let us know what religion, cult, splinter group, or other secret organization you're part of, so we can learn more about their crazy ways Posts: 3950 | Registered: Mar 2006

I think this means that I was right about who his sister is then.
eros, I don't have any clue as to who this guy is. I'm guessing that, based on the pattern of people responding, that he is active on other forums, which is why he's getting more attention here than a random nutjob.

I'm telling you doc...I mean alien guy...it was a million to one shot.

If you read his posts from 5-7 years ago on the Writer's Forum, you will see some excellent critical work.

Hey, wait a minute now. If CT is getting a gold start for 10.5K posts, should Captain Apathy be getting a gold star for his piddling 9868 posts? I think not!

quid, does it have to be from Stormy? Because I have some too (and mine don't even need licking, they come pre-stickified), but I wouldn't want to step on any toes.

Giving Captain Apathy a gold star is OK (although in my humble opinion, horridly misplaced) but giving him the same gold star as CT got for a much lesser achievement, now that...that's shameful.

So you're saying that every poster must meet precisely the same guidelines to receive rewards? What is this, No Poster Left Behind? Posts: 32919 | Registered: Mar 2003

Incidentally, rivka, I couldn't find an email from you and you shouldn't be hitting any of my filters now. Could you resend?

Weeeell. That'd put me below 20,000. And I landmarked at 20,000, so someone might notice. How about 1000?
