The "Every thread that's ever annoyed you" thread

I just saw something in the sky that looked weird. Does anyone know what it was?

Well, if it looked like a "weird", it probably was a "weird".



Coincidentally, this is quite possibly the weirdest thread ever on BAUT.

[MAPNUT]

Their are to many people who cant spell, i dont no why there so ignorant, its rediculous.

[Solfe]

Any thread with the word "fony."

[Gillianren]

I found this one website that says this thing that must be true. What do you guys think? Oh, the name of the website? The Onion.

[Fazor]

This thing that happened is an outrage! I don't have any facts about it, but it should never be done! No, I can't offer any alternatives for how it could have been handled, but it should have been handled in a way that would have ended differently! Anyone who doesn't share my ill-formed rage is obviously a horrible human being and an idiot! How could it not upset you?

Hi! I want to buy a telescope. What should I get and what will I see with it?

Ah, now that depends. If you are an idiot, and/or have no money, a cardboard tube would do admirably. Do be aware that it will greatly diminish your field of view, unless you are an idiot, in which case you won't know what this means.

Otherwise, I recommend you get a telescope with lenses in, but keep in mind they cost money, and don't look at the sun with it. If you must look at the sun with a telescope, then you're an idiot, so it's just as well I recommended the cardboard tube.

Actually, you know what is the worst thing... any guesses, ok, I guess not, so I'll have to tell you. It is a rather long story so you might want to relax, put your feet up, get real comfortable, because this is certainly the worst kind of post that one might encounter on any sort of Internet forum on any subject. OK, the worst kind of post is the one that is just a complete and utter (not udder, ha ha) wall of text, with no paragraph breaks at all, just a continuous, never-ending block of text that makes it really, really difficult to read or even to remember what the person who is posting this block of text is even talking about or what their point is or anything. It gets even more worse (is more worse a legit expression?) if they throw in a lot of parentetical (did I spell that right?) clauses, or if they is a lot of run-on sentences (is it "run-on" or "runon" or "run on" sentence, I'm really not sure, but you know the type I'm talking about where the person just keeps going on and on, with hardly even a coma or a semi-colon (or is it semicolon) and they just keep prattling on and on (can you "prattle" when you type, or is that just a vocal thing). Any way, back to my point (no, I didn't forget, you should not even suggest such a thing, it has not been that long since I started this post), and way, my point is that such a wall of text (or is should "wall of text" be in quotes?), anyway, such a wall of text post is really, really hard to read. I think it probably has to do something with how our brains are wired or maybe it is a learned behavior (you know, nuture versus nature, film at 11). But we find it very hard to even read such a thing. In fact, when I see a post like that I usually, maybe 75% of the time, or maybe even a little more often, don't even read it, or at least don't read it completely, I just sort of skim over it and see if I can figure out what they are talking about; or maybe I wait till someone else comments and let them figure out what the person was saying and then I can post a nice, real short post with something like "Me too!!!!" in it for the contents of my post, so people will think I read the really, really long, wall or block of text post, and they will think more of me because I have been contributing important stuff to the thread. But if the person does it a lot I might report the post to the moderators or I'll just make fun of them in thread and tell them they really, really need to stop doing that because it is really, really hard to read such a block of text and why can't they hit the Enter key every once in a while so it isn't such a big block of text. What would make that really bad thing really bad would be if the also picked a weird or small font or if they used a weird color or maybe a lot of different colors or if they made the background for the post a weird color (though I don't know how you do that). Hey, do any of you have problems with your wrists, because mine are really starting to hurt a lot and I really don't know why? And do you think I use the word "really" too much or does it really not bother you? Hey but thanks for listening to all this (actually, I guess it should be "thanks for reading all of this") but you knew what I meant. OK, bye.

[Van Rijn]

I agree! Wow, I was just looking around the internet and saw your great post, and decided I had to join this wonderful discussion group. As an aside, I noticed the wrist problem you were mentioning. I was having the same problem recently, and just happened to see an ad for Frobnitz Wrist Fixers at the time. I was skeptical that something with such a low, low price could work so well, but I was having so much wrist pain I tried it anyway. And! It's amazing, I've never had any pain since! Even more amazing, Frobnitz Wrist Fixers have a five-day money back guarantee. If you don't like them, you can get a full refund any time!*

I really hope you'll try them, I'd hate to see you stop writing those amazingly wonderful posts of yours, when Frobnitz Wrist Fixers would help you so much. Remember, that's Frobnitz Wrist Fixers. Buy yours today!

Hey, there's this thing in the sky they've been talking about. It's where Jupiter used to be. It's as bright as Jupiter and it has these things around it that look like Jupiter's moons. What could it possibly be?

[mike alexander]

I must protest the *MODERATORS* closing my thread on the threat of ATM machines (i.e., Sessile Daleks). I realize it is hard to classify, covering both 'ATM' and 'conspiracy' subjects, but the fact is that these machines were introduced in the same decade as the Kennedy assassination AND the end of World War II.

And Dark matter. Don't forget dark matter.

This is the title of a typical incendiary blog post

[Gillianren]

I will now pontificate on something, ask for discussion, and never post in the thread again.

I have nothing to contribute to this thread, but I don't like it and I think that you should all quit discussing this topic. :annoying smiley:

[peteshimmon]

Oh dear...

[Tog]

So, I was just looking into my bag of corn chips and noticed that the dark spots on them kind of looked like stars, then I looked over at the big plate of "brownies" as saw the nuts looked like starts, and then I got thinking that if all those things looked like stars then maybe stars weren't really big fireballs in space and that they were really just brighter spots of the stuff they call dark matter which is really space. I said something about it to my buds (LOL buds, I didn't do that on purpose, I swear) and Hyde said I was stupid, but Fez and Kelso thought I might be right. So, am I?

I know this is a strange thread, but you'll be surprised by the many people, who ask similar questions on car/cameras/houses/nuclear war heads/etc.

In the forum for dictators, the other day this guy wanted to know if NASA could build him a moon base and how should he phrase the request (to NASA of course).

Congratulations on making post 2000000.

I thought we were talking about threads. Not the News.
