re: A legendary poster has returned

quote: One can only hope he returns to the OT. This place is void of all taste and decency without him. Indubitably. Although, I can understand why might not want to. To suffer the slings and arrows of, no offense (well, a little ) The peanut gallery. To the Philistines who chime in with that all too witty "you spent too much time on this." I can assure you, it was less than you think. He's a master at his craft, as is evidenced by his work. You lot are the sort who would chide Da Vinci for his choice of paint. "Who could spend that sort of time on lists about shoes and signs." You say. Well...not you. Not even if you wanted to. Gun to your head you couldn't produce something that even approached the sort of talent the man gives you...for free. He is a sculptor of words, an artisan of English, a linguistic virtuoso who, frankly, this place does not deserve. And the fact that it takes no effort to just ignore the threads you have no interest (nor the intellect) for, yet you choose to (poorly) mock. Now, this place has taught me to appreciate an acerbic wit, a well crafted jibe or a smartly aimed barb. But mindless, baseless boos...well, they aren't beneath this place. Hell, they are on par. So, if he does choose to return, I hope those of you to whom I refer can be content to contain themselves to babe threads and the constant doom doom doom. Because some of us rather enjoy his prose. ETA: But seriously, what is it about having to read more than a few paragraphs on a mostly text based message board that sends you lot into a fervor? The thread isn't for you. I get that. Move on. And if you must mock...at least have some ounce of wit to your jeers. Something more than a dumb monkey brain flinging poo because what he writes is far beyond your comprehension.

Flattered but, no. I'm a purveyor of cheap jokes, bad puns and worse poems.

My occasional forays into long form prose are mostly historical. I find that when I rant, I can be longwinded and bloviating.

I prefer verse because it truncates me and forces me to at least try to make my point in a limited manner.

I like to tell stories and rhyme. At best I'm a dime store parody artist.. TulaneLSU is the real deal

there are no racists on this site we have ethnicity critics

Culcha critics

People are critical of the sort that are shutting down busy thoroughfares doing...donuts for all I can figure. The same sorts that like to blast stank booty, window rattling bass at 2 am. Or the gas pump. Or whenever. I don't get it. It's annoying and needless.

If venting frustration at antisocial behavior makes someone racist, then so be it.
If abhorring sensesless violence claiming innocent people makes someone racist, then I am guilty as charged.

Hell, I wrote "killin Baton Rouge" about it.

And yet I am friends with many who don't share creed or color with me. As I assume a lot here are. Maybe. Or maybe not.

But sometimes "Culcha" crosses lines. Don't be surprised when people react to that.

it is truly a thing of beauty to see someone so committed to an ignatius reilly impersonation.

but alas Tulane slipped into a dark place and derided this site as a home to racism and racists, so for that frick him

I agree, but TLSU would use much eloquent terms to describe us...like "pale and economically bankrupt rubbage."
