…when I realized I didn’t have an idea for the weekly rant I get paid to write. So I gave it to Dana “The Slave Driver” Massey for the website, because, um, the nine of you are awesome, but not paying for the dog kibble I have to buy. And he is. Anyway, I swear I’m trying not to do this too often, but here was the post I was going to make for you: http://www.massivegamer.com/features.php?feature=38
There was a tortured analogy involving sex toys and sandpaper in the first draft, but I gotta be more family friendly for the paying job.

Hey, you gots to pay the bills. Also, good read. I’ll have to use that trick as a forum monkey.
“Please refrain from flaming people by telling them that ‘your nuts are smaller than Milk Duds’. There’s a lot of banter we are more than happy to allow, and it would be greatly appreciated if you didn’t post like you were 5.”

Yes, but we’re a loyal 9 people aren’t we?
Oops, didn’t learn…um…Yes, and we hope one day that we’ll be able to donate kibble.
Did I do it right? Oh, I’m so terrible with these Intertubes…

That trick should help me on VN when I feel like complaining about a company’s game. By the way, in the about the author at the bottom of your article it says “Sanya Weathers if” instead of “Sanya Weathers is”. Just a heads up

So shouldn’t your previous post here been “I Know, I’m Disgusting… …and I swear to you” ?

There is just so much 3rd grade body humor surrounding the word “but”. One possible synopsis of the article is, “Sanya is on a campaign to wipe ‘but’ from community service vocabularies.” I’m sorry it had to be said, and it’s not my fault if the conversation degenerates further.

Look! There’s at least 10 of us! (that or I’m just one of the previous 9 in disguise…)

Sex toys, Sandpaper, and Butts… no, definitely don’t like where that’s headed.

Sandpaper is a sex toy . . .

I can’t resist commenting again…it compels me!
Not being a community person I can roughly guesstimate that trying to tell a customer to “chillax” would resort in the kind of thrashing that’d make intercourse with a sandpaper-wrapped, oblong self-gratification aide seem a pleasant alternative.
I think that was a rather artful use of language there, even if I’m not Tweety…

I’m sure there are more than 9. 12 at least!

Let’s not dwell on the numbers here, better get back to thinking about sandpapered butts…

“Doctor! Come quickly!”
“What’s wrong, nurse?”
“New admit to the ER…he’s suffered an incredible amount of blood loss.”
“What caused the wound?”
“His rottweiler bit him on the and.”
Okay…it doesn’t ALWAYS work…

And this is why all of you community weenies deserve raises. Seriously. I can’t read some game message boards for too long without seeing red nowadays…
