Sim, please dont kill me

Whilst I heartily disagree with the whole "he wears black and paints his nails and therefore is a Goth" stereotype, and let's face it, there are very few true Goths left. However, that page is damn funny!!!

Mystic Fibrosis

no. Go to hell, Mcd.

oq4v3ht0u76kf2

Yes, MCD should go to hell because they couldn't organise a shag in a whore house.

McDara on the other hand, shouldn't go to hell. He should go to a happy place called Sweden.

s0l

dude, calm down, its a satire

TheAlmightyArse

Y'know, it's funny... any real goths I know
a) don't mope all day, and
b) are THE best source for goth jokes/satire.

For a bunch of humourless dullards, they sure know how to poke fun at themselves, the crazy fiends!

lordsippa

I have no goth but I must hunt?

s0l

I know,
compairing us to the sterotype, this year at session one, we were pretty much the happiest goths ever (I was classed as a goth just because I wear black apparantly in ireland thats all you need to do to be one here)

lordsippa

I wear black cause of my build and hair <black suits blondes>. And yet i, of the golden hair, am a "goth"? YOU FECKWITS!

s0l

black makes my stomach stick out less then other colours

edit: that and its my fav colour, ohh david borenezz(or how ever you spell it) come to me my love!

lordsippa

Yeps... hence "suits my build". I said it nicer y'see.

Shoeless Ailbhe

I've been asked more than once if I'm a goth. I was wearing dark blue jeans and a League of Gentlemen t-shirt. I despair, I really do...

Dalamar

You're gonna die s0l, now, which way?
a)kill you, skin and hang you from a lampost,
b)kill you, and put your head on a spike outside my house to scare away all the scumbags,
c) kill you, and wear you skin as a jacket,
d) kill you, skin you, and use it as a poster?
e) all of the above (somehow).

lordsippa

Aha! I was wearing a black t-shirt with a batman logo on it, blue jeans and a short black jacket and i was also sporting BRIGHT BLONDE HAIR! GODDAMIT!

<ahem>

And sim, if you really want someone dead just put them in a room with me, give me aphrodisiacs, lock the door and block your ears. Hehehehe... truly a fate worse than... um... not dying?

TheAlmightyArse

Today I purchased ChuChu Rocket!, and now I am reassuringly livvid (in a good way). To my knowledge, goths don't, nay can't, get livvid. This is why it's reassuring.

Mystic Fibrosis

i just wear black because it reflects the cold, black heart in my chest.

s0l

okay, hmm, I didnt mean any offence to any goth out there
its all in good humor anyway, I mean whats life if you cant laugh at yourself?

Mystic Fibrosis

i mock, not laugh.

lordsippa

Hmm... do goths taste any good? And how would one properly prepare one?

And vampiric crap isn't "goth". That's what is known as "baby bat" and is mocked worldwide <sorry sim, but you know it's true>. Unfortunately many baby bats are damn sexy and wear all that cool goth clothing to enhance that <like you sim> so... stupid... bloody... grr... hrmm... miaow!

Dalamar

I see / Oh well.

Asuka

I like it, very funny

Its just sad that everyone doesnt get the joke

Today I purchased ChuChu Rocket!

That game fúcking rocks!

Indeedy it does! But, alas, the theme tune's not on the GBA version!

At one point, people called me a goth because I wear black a lot. This is stupid, because I have dressed in predominantly black clothes since I was seven years old, before the word Goth even came into regular use.

The thing is, if you ask an ordinary joe, and by this I mean a scanger standing at a corner with a fag in his hand, what a goth is, they'll say "A person who, like, wears black and listens to Korn, y'know". In fact, what they mean is

"A person who doesn't, like, dress in tacky looking Nike and Adidas everything, from shoes, trousers, jumpers and a cap riding high on their heads, the way I do and who doesn't, y'know, listen to the depressingly talentless crap spouted out by Oasis and Atomic Kitten, like I do. Oi mean oi know that they listen to Nirvana and that's ok, cos I love Nirvana. MY favourite Nirvana song? that one that smells like teen spirit. Do I know any other Nirvana songs, well no I don't actually cos I'm a dumbass."

By the way, I think in the next ten years, it's possible that a gang war will erupt in Ireland, with the scangers and scumbags on one side, and Goths, metalheads, skateboarders, nerds and every other marginalised faction. With the combined superior intelligence of the intellectual Goths and the pissed off nerds, and the carefree insanity of the skateboarders, they will form an army of suicide skateboard bombers.

Dalamar

Yes, i for one certainly hope scumbags will die off.......

s0l

and alas I live in sligo, people think of it as a backwards hole (which, dont get me wrong, it is) but it also has and i'm convinced about this the largest amount of skangers in the country.
luckily i live close enough to strandhill so my school is spilt 50:50 between skangers and surfers but ahh help me!

TheAlmightyArse

I've noted myself that in the eyes of the scanger populus, you're only a goth if you wear black clothes. The resultant being that on a day where I choose to wear, say, blue jeans instead of black, or say, a not black jumper over my t-shirt, I cross the divide from being a goth to, in fact, being a "rocker". Amazing how quickly and easily you can cross a divide, isn't it?

Incidentally, I don't claim to be either. I'm not really sure what a rocker IS, so I make no claims to being of the sort, and I know I'm not a goth, for 'tis BLATANTLY obvious to anyone with a halfway open mind to these things... I prefer to think of me as a geek (not nerd, subtle differences), but since that's more of a charactersitic and not a cultural subdivision, and since I've already said far too much and don't feel like typing anymore, I've no idea what I am.

Therefore I propose we start a NEW faction. A NEW underground culture. So who's with me?! Who wants to be a... er... a Twidgery Plank?! Go us! Huzzah!

Plasticman

despite wearing black and being very pale for the past ten years, i'm not a goth. i like rock, but i'm not a rocker. i'm a bit goth, a bit punk, a bit metal, a bit rock, a bit jazz, basically a bit everything except pop, dance, techno, rap and r&b, all rolled into one. i'm, well, me

TheAlmightyArse

Oh come now, we all need to be cubbied in convenient pidgeon holes...
Can I interest you in being a Twidgery Plank/ So far, all our members (er, me) have an all-over-the-place taste in music, and a penchant for native and British comedic silliness... we're all tres cool, obviously...

Plasticman

well, it seems to suit my tastes, so, hell yeah

you didnt wear black last year....

<< Fio >>

Mystic Fibrosis

I wanna be a Twidgery Plank!

TheAlmightyArse

Huzzah for the Twidgery Plank movement! (ooooh yes, it's a movement now...)

Hmmm... Twidgery Plank... TP... I see a bunghole connection slowly but inevitably forming...

shep the malevolent pixie

eeeexcellent, i was waiting for that...:D i have finally classified myself as an "unpretentious semi-goth glitter punk" after much deliberation, being asked by way too many people etc. ah, the joys of being different...:rolleyes:
i am willing to be in the Twidgery Plank movement however, does it constitute free love and happy hippyness?
sHep :cool:

i did wear black last year. hugh said he thought i did it cos it was "k-rad" as he says...

TheAlmightyArse

An oxymoron. It's a contradiction in terms, like "cricket highlights" or "unpretentious goth".

As for hippyness/love, et al, I've nothing against it, so why not...

Plasticman

we can make it a secret society... well, we could if we hadn't posted about online, but...

anyway, we should have a hierarchy based on first entrants. i'd be number 2, and thealmightyarse would be number 1...

(homer): hah, what kind of name is number one? hello, my name is number one!!:D

TheAlmightyArse

Oooooh, I've never been head of an orgainisation before! Except the Mr Pants thing, but that bombed. So did my band, Thirst Pockets (we rocked. In a brilliant, totally non-musical sense. Huzzah!), and my Legz Akimbo Theatre company tribute troupe...

Hhhhmm... failure seems to be somewhat attracted to me...

Which is nice, makes life more interesting, really...

Plasticman

watch out masons, you're nothing compared to twidgery plank!!

WE WILL NOT FAIL!!! NOT WITH ME AS NO. 2!!!

Smiley

I like myself the way I am and if anyone has a problem with that then I honestly couldn't give a bat out of hell I'll be gone when the morning comes...

Classing yourself only narrows your potential and connects you to a group which only has potential in itself.

I am joining the Twidgery Plank movement.

Stay tuned,

Mike...


.....Logic? You only get that in the movies....and even then people have to write it. It's silly. Just like in the movies. But even then people have to write it.



If 'If's and 'But's were candy and nuts........how does the rest of that go?


Someone in my room just said 'Chop-chop'.

Night night.

Incidentally, if we're still faffing around with goth-talk...

"'Well then,' she said, 'I don't want something soppy and posey. No silly black lace or anything worn by idiots who write poetry in their rooms and dress like vampires and are vegetarians really.'"

That Terry Pratchett, eh? Now this raises some interesting ponderisms:

a) What the flute was it like for his daughter growing up?

and b) What the cake was it like at the ceremonial dinner when the Dracula society awarded him with best Gothic novel for Mort?

quiet you....:p hehehe. ah yeah, sure i just like the clothes.
sHep :cool:

TheAlmightyArse

Admiteddly, the clothes is good. Provided you're given some indication as to the sex of the subject.

And anyway, I can't give goths too hard a time, what with going out with one and everything... thankfully, though, she's too embarrassed to take me to any of her poetry dealies, heh heh...
