HA! HA! Thai got called out by RJ!
She sent me an e-mail thinking that pic was hilarious, so...
I have to say, I'm quite surprised. Even some of the biggest worshippers of Benoit are laughing at me and Doc's images. See? Those OOsters aren't THAT bad!

Or don't do either. If you can't find an image you like at either than don't force it. Just give me something you like and which will look good on the board.
I don't mean to have made it sound like I'm all anti-OO or anything. I love OO and a lot of the folks I've seen say this stuff have been guys I like and I'm genuinely surprised by their reactions. Most of the really annoying ones have been newbies or guys I didn't like anyway. But its not like I really hate on anyone who was emotionally affected by this. Its just the overall wave.
Yeah, I am glad to see that very few people are pitching a fit with the comedy. When Thai and I were joking around a few days back everyone took it pretty well then too. And Zig was getting by without much criticism. That thread probably isn't as emo as it seems. Its just that only the emo stuff was being said.
Fuck Warrior. The tool threw a fit with me the other night. I apologized twice on the board and once in private despite the fact that he clearly just overreacted. Still had a bug up his ass. He's a little drama queen.

I've been looking all through that thread for this Warrior v Lucky thing, and all I'm finding is Warrior getting kind of weirdly pissy about Lucky's Pet Semetary riff. (Which, by the way, was awesome.)
While I have agreed pretty much with Lucky's sentiments since the news passed about the 24 hour mark, I am 100% in the corner now. If we can't joke about this A WEEK after the fact, some people just can't take a fucking joke.
The Warrior thing with me isn't that great a story and happened all outside that thread. The other night he started a thread in the Divas forum for Woman. He posted the pics you see that are oddly cropped and put on kinda generic backgrounds. I asked, "why'd you put them on generic photo studio backgrounds?" because that's what it looked like to me. He immediately flipped, removed his photos, and copped a fit. And pretty much the same time he started a thread in "About OO" asking for the front page image to change from Benoit to Nancy/Daniel. I commented on the fact that Benoit REALLY is the news at this stage and thus relevant. Again, he copped a fit.
I guess it was because it was 3 AM or something and we were pretty much the only ones on OO. I responded immediately to both of his threads and he seemed to take it as some sort of attack. I immediately apologized/explained myself in both threads. Then I apologized by U2U despite the fact that he clearly just overreacted. I just decided to accept the villain role because I've been picking fights all week. But he stayed smarmy.
Then he posted his little smarmy thing in the Benoit thread. So whatever. I wasn't going to call him but if Thai thinks he's overreacting I'm more than happy to say he pissed me off the other night by being a drama queen. I even deleted some stupid porn from his Woman thread trying to maintain his intent and he has yet to show an ounce of decency to me. So whatever.
I can't complain about the separate joke Benoit stuff. Whatever. I was discussing that idea with another mod the other day. Its probably better than pissing the sensitive folks off and getting into a huge thing about the moral weight of it. Makes the proper Benoit thread as insufferable as before but whatever. Sub forum caught me by surprise, but ok.

I almost replied to Mod's post to say I'm taking this pretty seriously and pretty hard, and I find the jokes just as cathartic as anything else at this point.
But then I saw that there's a whole sub-folder for tasteless Benoit jokes. As much as removing all jokes from the mega-thread seems like an over-reaction, The Benoit Memorial Tasteless Joke Forum is just fucking cool.
We should keep that fucker going forever.
I'm still trying to think of something funny to make of the premises "Fragile X-Men" and "Ultimate Fragile X match."
a subforum makes it not even fun. the fun part is the chance that fucking idiots will get pissed off.
and i don't like the description that making jokes is how "some people deal with it." i think most of the joke makers are doing it in response to those that feel they need to "deal with it"
Yeah - it's like picking fights with the homeless. Part of the fun in that is the reaction from your everyday people who are witnessing it and shocked at what they are seeing.
But when you go and move all homeless fighting to an empty warehouse that people have to purposely go to in order to witness it all, the thrill just ain't there.

In one of the transition scenes on the Yellow Brick Road there's some weird sight. Right after the Tin Man I think. There's a long shot of a tree in the distance in the shadows. If you look closely there appears to be a person slowly ascending what one presumes is a ladder and then falling, dangling from a noose off the limb off the tree. The myth is that one of the cast or crew killed himself on set and they accidently caught it on film and included it. The explanation is something like its just a weird visual affect and the guy is actually the neck of a peacock that's walking around in the back. Google "Wizard of oz hanging" or something if you want more. I'm sure there's hundreds of links and I'm sure Wiki and Snopes cover it.

Thanks Lucky. I caught myself in hypocrite mode - I hate it when people ask questions when a simple google search gives the answer in far less time...and then I did just what I hate.
In other news, look what hilarity we have to look forward to at OO sometime soon:
