Definitely a classic Muzha Man. Had me laughing all over again. Blueface made a fortune out of that scam, mostly from sandman.

The American oligarchy spares no pains in promoting the belief that it does not exist, but the success of its disappearing act depends on equally strenuous efforts on the part of an American public anxious to believe in egalitarian fictions and unwilling to see what is hidden in plain sight.

Yeah, he saw me coming and no mistake. Fucking "Toothbrush of Frank" indeed! In fact it belonged to some guy named Kenneth. Almost totally worthless. :fume:

Read a gem today by seeker4. It's stuff like this that keeps me trolling the boards. Too few and far between these days.
Trillian: You idiot! You signed the order to destroy Earth!
Zaphod: I did?
Arthur: He did?
Trillian: Love and kisses Zaphod? You didn't even read it, did you?
Zaphod: Well, I'm president, I don't have a lot of time for reading.
Trillian: My whole planet destroyed because you thought someone wanted your autograph!

Here's one from Tom Hill

The behaviour of the local ladies is diverse, but by all accounts, common threads seem to run through them all. Family, personal desires, strength of character look like the top three.

Family. Lets face it, there are a lot of adult males who are pigs. Worldwide. MrsHill's father is a pig, for example. He is racist, unpolite, unbending, and generally lords it over everyone. Why? Cos he struck it rich, despite his tendency to be piggish. New pig money. Yuk. And there are many many men like this. I must always remember that this man educated my partner. His money paid for her education and also her slavery. Many girls, or so it seems, are loyally devoted to their families, but deep deep down they wish they weren't. This brings me nicely to part 2.
Personal desires. Common pastimes seem shallow to the 'cultured' foreigner, who conveniently forgets they are addicted to drugs to get through their lives. (booze, fags, puff, pills, Canadian bacon.) My partner may be moody from time to time, but that is because she denies herself the sweet sweet pleasure of total annihilation, on a weekly/daily basis. Hats off to her. So maybe she likes shopping, or drinking tea. Maybe she hasn't ridden a mountain bike. Drag her kicking and screaming from the sofa and force her to look at God's magnificence. She will see it, just as you do.

Strength of character. This is where we all, to a man, fail. I am weak, she is weak. Her family and mine too: weak. Mothers display emotional shallowness, Fathers display emotional detatchment. Your girl will have to stand in the middle of all this, and deal with our whining "I wanna go live in X where the grass is greener, and the trolls are smaller, and I can earn a decent crust." Poor cow. To whom should she show her loyalty? To ma and pa who raised her and taught her her values. To herself: who tells her 'things ain't right, you want something else." Or to Whitey, who tells her, "we'd be happier off if x,y and z didnt exist."

All in all I'd say as noodle scratchers go this is a dilly of a pickle. Hats off to all who stay sane. Hts off to the local ladies who are brave enough to take another path. Forewarned is never forearmed!

If this gem first written in these pages by Comrade Stalin and repeated often by many others is not a classic, then I don't know what is.

Definitely. :cool: I've got a few additions I'll make when I've got the time, and the above is definitely a Forumosa classic. It should probably go on the back of a t-shirt. :lol:

This one is in my opinion a true classic. I'm sure Forumosa is proud to have posters from all walks of life and for good reasons I think. It makes this site simply interesting.

For this classic, I suggest the following title: ImaniOU's Rant

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll add this to the Classic Post list once I have a look at the post (I checked, it's a long one) or if a moderator tells me they agree with you to add it on

Cheers

Thanks Gus.

I see that the post hasn't been made a classic yet and I'm thinking the same as my last recommendation, it will not happen. What does it take to be a classic? You've got a handful of classic posts and thousands of archived posts.

There's been a lot of talk about racism on Forumosa and sometimes it creates tensions as you know unless a post is written in good spirit. I think that the above mentioned post is a classic and I hope someone can acknowledge that and do something about it or else that's the last time I'll participate in this thread and recommend a post to be made a classic. Not a big loss to anyone I guess.

My last recommendation was for one of Sandman's hilarious post and that was overlooked as well. Why would I bother with this Classic Posts idea?

I appreciate your response but maybe next time you could take the time to read the proposed posts before you reply in this thread.

Cheers!
