Seattle wank. Thankfully, we all own umbrellas here.
We have wank in Seattle!

Sorry if the links are wrong. I will look it over, but all the formatting at this time of night is making me queasy. Bear with me.

It all begins when arthippy makes a post to the community with information about The Middle Earth Ball. Problem? She posts in a font that is brown, rendering it unreadable to those who have a dark flist and cannot figure out how to highlight text.

pounce points this out without much wankiness and arthippy gleefully misses the point.

It doesn't get wanky until further on when maggotdude attempts humor only to have arthippy miss the point once more.

meatsiebeastie throws in some comments and it goes downhill from there when reverendcrass joins the party.

It's apparently all about hippies and premature babies.

Small, but hey, homebrewed wank always tastes the sweetest. ....or maybe not.

This line right here:
arthippy gleefully misses the point.

That's what sums up why I love fandom_wank and it's daughter communities.

Cuz we see everything so gleefully. *grin*

Okay, this has gotIf you (they?) wanted the info bad enough, you would try a little hard to read it.

a) "A little hard"? Way to make the English language cry.
b) WTF. You're advertising for an event, but other people should have to try "a little hard" to read any info on it, or what? They're not worthy to attent? Oi.

Show me your LJ credentials and the rules that say fonts apply here and there.

*boggle* LJ credentials? WTF?

I think I left my LJ credentials at my internet lawyer's office.

They were stolen while you were on the bus. Really.

Can't a person get felt up on the bus without something bad happening to them? People these days...

And all this time I thought that hippies were supposed to be peaceful, loving, happy-go-lucky types. I must have confused them with mimes.

Sorry.

I recognize the quote on your Avatar as being from "A Fish Called Wanda", but I can't place where the picture's from.

It's from "I, Claudius", in which Derek Jacoby played a the stuttering Roman emperor (i.e., it's an amazingly bad joke, which is the kind I like).

Translating from arthippy to English:

"I'm too lazy to change the font and too wanky to admit I fucked up, so I'm just going to call you all unqualified and go sit in the corner and suck my thumb."

And spend more time bitching about you than it would take to actually edit the post.

Yeah, that's the part I find the most amusing mind-boggling. If she possessed enough motor skills to make the font brown in the first place, surely she can get it together to change it back, in about as much time as it took her to slap together such a crappy layout in the first place.

Wankers are so inefficient sometimes. *pfft*

You can always count on the Seattle comm for lots of tasty drama! I'm sad however, about the lack of appearance of PTSD GUY! and HEY! GIVE ME A CUT BECAUSE I'M AWESOME AND YOU DAMN KIDS HAVE IT TOO EASY GUY! But there wasn't any images, so I guess that's that :)

But there were images just scant days ago! The library! Folklife! D:

...Then again, I've only been on the comm for a few weeks. I don't think I've seen either of these guys.

Though I had a feeling there was something going on when I discovered the existence of an alternate community for those who don't want to play with everyone else.

Aaah, Seattle.

I keep reading that username as short for "Arthritic Hippy". Somehow I don't think that's the image she was going for.

It's so sad to see what could have been good mockery applied so badly. Arthippy and reverendcrass were so cute in their attempt to rise above the nonsense and carry on a delightfully lofty conversation over the heads of those fools who were unworthy of the effort. And yet, sadly, they somehow forgot the difficulty of rising about it all when buried to the armpits in their own wank.

Visionaries are always so misunderstood in their own time. Perhaps they should look toward posterity and donate some of their own copius wank to a sperm bank.

[shakes head and apologizes in advance to posterity]
