Malefactors Beware

The oddest part is that he considers poop jokes to be there for "shock value." Who over the age of 13 considers a poop joke to be shocking? Poop is just inherently funny, and not really the least bit shocking. When it's overused, it becomes neither funny nor shocking (unless you're under 13), but Baio appearances are spaced out more than far enough to keep that from happening.

In Response to porcupine8 (#24766):

Poop jokes are so universal that even in high society, one would occasionally hear "Feces? My word, jolly good!"

In Response to porcupine8 (#24766):

Well considering that there are webcomics that have a robot designed for having sex with fruit, and pretty much all well known webcomics get sued for somethin. I mean come on if they review comics they should know that the internet has not enough surrealism and too many references to wang.
Besides, its not like Scott Baio needs more publicity right?

In Response to Almeur (#24781):

Well, that was startlingly incoherent.
I think I speak for everyone* when I say: What?

*cept tor. I never know what he's thinking.

In Response to tynic (#24782):

I caught the reference to the Fruit Fucker [penny-arcade.com]. However, I don't think everyone here reads Penny Arcade; better safe than sorry when it comes to links.

In Response to Almeur (#24781):

The fruit fucker is not a robot designed to have sex with fruit. It is a fruit juicer that is alive, just like their Xbox.

In Response to Dynedain (#24798):

Actually, that's their DivX player. Hence, they call him DivX.

He is a grouchy and drunken soul, who appears to bear no resemblance to any of the PA people I have met, all of whom were nice, none of whom were drunk, and none of whom were DivX-player-shaped.

In Response to sakuruth (#24800):

Hence, they call him DivX.

I think they just call him Div [penny-arcade.com], but good call.

In Response to sakuruth (#24800):

Actually, I think Dynedain just got confused with his generic gamer comics. He was thinking of the strip with two guys that lounge and play video games with a living x-box [ctrlaltdel-online.com]. But how can you confuse that with PA [penny-arcade.com]. I mean, its like comparing Get Fuzzy [comics.com] to Garfield [garfield.com].

In Response to Wobbles_the_Goose (#24805):

No Ctrl+Alt+Del's Xbox is a full android; I did not confuse the two. I hadn't seen the PA DivX in a while, and so in my mind's eye it had become an Xbox.

In Response to GeminiCrash (#24803):

That would be a nickname.

For example, my name is technically Katherine. Nobody (but my mother, and also my old AP Bio teacher) ever uses this. It is, however, still my name, even if most people only think of me as Katie.

Similarly, no matter what nicknames Div acquires, people can and will still call him DivX. Because it is his name.

In Response to sakuruth (#24808):

I never said that it wasn't his name. You said that they call him DivX, but they call him Div. There's a difference.

In Response to GeminiCrash (#24813):

Wow! That may be the best pedantic one-upmanship i've seen since the great soynugget breasticle debacle. I'm impressed-- i've been here for a couple years, and i still haven't managed to pull off that maneuver with any of the veterans yet. If there were a "+1 Super-Pedantic" mod, you'd win it for sure.

In Response to Teledildonix (#24815):

Gemi has become a product of her social environment [thescian.com]

In Response to GeminiCrash (#24813):

Except that they also use his name [penny-arcade.com].

Not frequently, but they do. And I did in fact state precisely that, if you will be so kind as to note.

In case any further pedantry seems forthcoming, I would just like to point out that I never stated that DivX is the name most frequently used to refer to him.

In Response to GeminiCrash (#24785):

It wasn't the references that threw me so much as the entirety of the post. I might try and break it down, see if it makes more sense.

Well considering that there are webcomics that have a robot designed for having sex with fruit,
... ok, PA ref. I think this is trying to say that 'poop jokes aren't shocking compared to fruit-fucker jokes.' Well, porcupine already made that point. Redundancy.

and pretty much all well known webcomics get sued for somethin.
Umm ... Strawberry Shortcake? Jesus Peanut Butter Cups? Who's getting sued? for what now? For Scott Baio? You've lost me. Incoherency.

I mean come on if they review comics they should know that the internet has not enough surrealism and too many references to wang.

...

... Did you eat fucking paint chips as a child?

Is he suggesting that Burns doesn't understand surrealism? Or that we can't wang the internet with surrealism and references?

The first intimation is clearly wrong. The second ... well, he just succeeded in bathtub full of power tools-ing me, so I guess he disproved his own point. Clearly, the internet is absolutely full of Dali-esque masters of the surreal. Whether we can then wang it is another question. Since this is the goats forum, not the PA forum, I don't think we wang things. Perhaps we sex-dwarf them, or eggplant them, or bend them over and give them a right good rogering. I don't know. Peculiarity PLUS incoherency.

Besides, its not like Scott Baio needs more publicity right?

... and this relates to anything how? Maybe the whole point of the post is to chide Jon for giving Baio too much exposure. I think I need to go wash my brain out.

In Response to tynic (#24827):

Yeah you're right. I don't know where my brain was when I wrote that.
The point I was trying to make was that if you look at stuff like PA's fruit fucker then it seems a little bit pointless to say that Goats of all comics sometimes falls back on childish humour- something that is the bread and butter of internet humour.
Hope thats a little more clear.

P.S paint chips are delicious. Don't knock it til' you've tried it.

In Response to tynic (#24827):

P.P.S I also just realised that in my first entry, I mixed up the 'to' and 'too' which changed the meaning of the sentence entirely, which probably also explains why it makes no sense.

There should also be a *+2 drunk* to that post, it'll warn people before starting a 15 comment discussion on how nonsensical I am and what the Divx player in Penny Arcade is called. Oh well, back to the scotch for me

In Response to Almeur (#24834):

Right. Sorted. All makes sense now.

Plus, you even used the only locally accepted excuse for incoherency. I must approve.

P.S. paint chips are delicious.

... you mean wall candy?

In Response to tynic (#24827):

Since this is the goats forum, not the PA forum, I don't think we wang things. Perhaps we sex-dwarf them, or eggplant them, or bend them over and give them a right good rogering. I don't know.
Well, factually, I think we have to say that all we do is discuss them.

But, probably, the term that fits is "skull-fuck".

In Response to Almeur (#24835):

...I mixed up the 'to' and 'too' which changed the meaning of the sentence entirely, which probably also explains why it makes no sense.

Yes, that must be it. How silly of me.

In Response to sakuruth (#24826):

I'd argue futher, but I thought about it last night before going to sleep - which is just sad - and realized that it doesn't really matter. Having an argument about a fictional, anthropormophous DivX player just seems rather silly. And they never really call him anything, he's just there.

I had been feeling sassy and I didn't say that you were wrong; we're both right.

In Response to Almeur (#24835):

So you meant to say I mean come on if they review comics they should know that the internet has not enough surrealism and to many references too wang.???

Meh.

You are too wang.

In Response to GeminiCrash (#24844):

So you're saying you chose consience over pedantics?

In Response to unFalln (#24855):

are you conscious of the fact that you spelled conscience wrong?
