OMG you guys, we did it. And by we, I mean I.

I hadn't been this active on a forum since 2006-ish. Usually I just create an account, ask for download links for whatever celebrity's hoochie-coochie has been photographed, then forget about the entire thing. So thanks to everyone who kept me engaged here.

I'll do a quick name call to thank the people who have been an important part of my ride here.
And I thought maybe you'd like to share your favorite story about me. Or just say what you think of me, as long as it's not an honest negative answer.

@No Avenger and @Olymoon : Of course I must start with you guys. How many warnings did I get from you, but remained extremely polite instead of lashing out like I do at my mom's grave? You keep me in check, I can't thank you enough

@Stevie Dude : I don't use it much, but Serum is a fairly good synth. Thank you for your work.

@justwannadownload : You're the only user on this forum who's had the honor of listening to my music. I think people would be really grateful if you said a few words about my genius. Don't be too mathematical though. Use this if it helps : https://www.thesaurus.com/browse/emotion

@Lois Lane : Fellow Deadhead and Phan. Nobody here can understand the world like we do. And fuck Scarlet>Fire, give me Dark Star or give me death.

@Xupito : I was so honored when you put one of my stupid jokes in your signature. Now that you've taken it out I hate you with all my guts (but try to say something positive, eh?)

To everyone else I may forget : oh don't worry I didn't forget about you. I just don't talk to bigots.


THANKS Y'ALL. I LOVE Y'ALL. AND I'D LOVE TO SEE A LIVE SHOW OF WEIRD AL.

 

Oi thanks!
Your music is... [checks thesaurus] perturbation? Responsiveness? I'm still not sure how this works, sorry :sweat_smile:

 

With the very loud guiro...

Congratulations, a one with three goose eggs

 

69-71 DSs are, unsurprisingly, dope as fuck.
But DS becomes something else when Keith joins the band. 72-74 Dead has no equal whatsoever.

Thanks anyway...

 

You're welcome.

 

But the guiro!

 

Did you know that bigot resembles a lot the spanish word for moustache?

Now you know. You're welcome.

Anyway, i've been blessed with your nonsense this far, keep it up, i love you, but not in THAT way, or maybe, who knows.

 

Love your profile pic man, I've seen it for years.. it reminds me of getting loaded. Here's to another 1000 posts.

Edit: Who is it though? It looks like a distorted Jeff Goldblum.

 

It's... complicated.

Let's just say I know a guy from the X diaspora (don't wanna reveal much), to which I also belong, living in a foreign country just like me.
He works as a grocery clerk but some years ago he started writing poetry, and insane amounts of it.
He wanted to have some of them recorded as songs, and make videos for those.

Thing is, if poetry was sex, he would be the napkin drenched in cum.
And he's so tone deaf that when he sings even a jazz monster with perfect pitch would try to get a lobotomy to tune their hearing to his voice.
I'm talking about a guy who, when he has to lipsync for his own video, having his own song on cue with a loud as fuck speaker, not only manages to completely fuck up the rhythm, cadence and flow (not even mentioning the key of the song) he even can't sing the proper fucking words he's written -which, btw, are not Finnegans Wake Vol II, as I said above.

Anyway, a set of circumstances led me and a friend of mine to direct his two videos, which I may share one day if I have stage 5 cancer.

At some point, as a goof, my friend and I started photoshopping this guy in flattering situations, making him look like a great poet etc. which he LOVED.

Long story short, I have today over 2500 images of photoshops of him in my hard drive.
We literally created an entire mythology around this guy, his entourage, his life story etc.
It's the biggest, most ambitious artistic project I ever took part in, and am proudest of. Unfortunately 99% of this mythology makes zero sense to anyone except me and my friend.

When I started I had to look for tutorials on every step. After a while I became a level 6 photoshop ninja.

My profile pic is a shamanic mask I tried to make out of his face. Or that's what I tell myself. In reality I was probably just high as fuck and messing around.

Here are some of my favs. Not that it will help, but some of them are visual translations of his poems :












This last one I'm so proud of that I had it printed on a large wooden panel and hang it on my wall :

 

I guess they had to keep Pigpen busy?

I will try to keep y'all entertained till the day I inevitably off myself because I'm still trying to finish that song I started in 2019.

And if by THAT way you mean giving me a tonsils exam going through the rectum, you're not the only one. It feels great to be loved.

 

Congratulations on your 1,000 posts, you are now officially a newbie

Thank you SO MUCH for this.

 

Now that you have more than a 1,000 but less than 3,000 posts I'm no longer interested in this thread.

 

Thank you for sharing the origin story and some examples. It makes it even better that it is someone you know. The backstory and your writing is very funny too. I feel just a little more blessed today after having received that knowledge. Make sure to backup your archives brother.

That shamanic mask definitely gives a ket vibe. That's what I'd guess you were on when you made it, looking at the colors and artifacts and the warping.

 

Damn, I almost forgot this tread. Congrats @triggerflipper my man
I'm not much into ass-kissing but I can safely say it's amazing what you've done. Making it so far without being kicked out by the mods, that is

Full disclosure, I've laughed a lot with most of your naughty jokes but some of them I didn't rate because I couldn't rate funny and naughty at the same time. Coming from me I guess it's the best compliment I can give.
The worst for some others I'm guessing, but those are no fun so screw 'em

Cheers!

PS. About my favorite quotes, I try to change them from time to time. I also accept bribes. Anything but subscription models. I may be the worst but still better than Waves

Oh, I forgot something important. I voted unconditionally "I wanna be her dog" because of my also very appreciated buddy @Lois Lane .
I don't forget that cover, prideful of that

 

Wait. What? Are you a triggerflipper without flipper?

Why always the best guys on forums turn out to be a chick and chicks turn out to be guys.

I think I am lesbian gay.

 

Nah, just THC
I haven't done more than a handful photoshops on ket in my life. One of them is this one :

A moderator on Reddit once deleted my comment, but added "(however I must admit it was hilarious)". It's a once in a lifetime career highlight.

I never said I don't have a flipper

 

So good. I'd throw a party if happened to me
