Seriously, I'm not getting enough Kobe stannery at present and had to resort to putting Darth on the no fly list and argue boxing with Gandhi's grandson.

We like guitars...sort of...

That's OK then. I was worried Esch hurt her feelings, like the others.

Can't believe he caught feels over people not wanting dudes grabbing the guitar and picking away at a party.

I've long been a fan of Shinobi, hate to see him go like that over such a trivial issue. Dude has problems obviously and I wouldn't want to see him in a position of power (tbh the future would be safer if he was a minority), he he's still my nicca.

RIP

yeah, I like Walrus too. He's a good guy. But he does take things way too seriously.

He needs to watch Frozen a few times.

jakefromstatefarm · « **Reply #12 on:** March 24, 2015, 11:49:17 PM »

wow, it's already been two weeks?

I feel like it just happened. I don't know if that makes me a dick or not.

ftr, I want The Walrus to come back; he can be super abrasive and there are a handful of issues about which I adamantly contest he's in the wrong, but he's a good dude, contributor and I feel the discussion on the forum is less colorful w/o him

I just didn't think he'd take it that seriously. Also I don't know why the onus lays at my feet. I was hardly the sole purveyor of banter, friends

Like you wouldn't be taking credit for it if that thread had gotten HoF'ed.

Anyways, he's had worse thrown at him in multiple threads over the years. Didn't quit over most of those, and was occasionally a very good sport about rolling with the punches. He's had trouble responding to disrespect/rejection, both that we've all seen on here and that he talked about, and it's likely that this had more to do with where his head was at when the thread happened than the actual content.

You gotta hope for his sake that he's able to cope with this shit better on a consistent basis in the future and that if/when he comes back it's because he's chilled, not that he's looking to overturn some old L's.

And that it's during the NBA offseason, so he won't be posting in that thread.

I like Walrus and hope he comes back. Right now iirc he's in Argentina so it may be a little bit before he sees this.

we should have a dedicated forum roasting thread so we can just get it out of our systems from time to time. kinda like scheduling a buddy jackoff meet at a dingy rest stop during a road trip.

The way he reacts to things and his jokes are unique, lol. He may have a penchant for posting some batshit crazy material that he gets (rightfully) ragged on for but isn't that just part of the locker room atmosphere we have going on here?

I hope he doesn't think I make fun of his violent fantasies out of anything but love, he's had some good ones (and non-violent ones) at me. Only thing that really tires is when he latches onto one subject like duckroll, Dwight Howard or Metaphoreus and that's all his material.

Quote from: The Walrus on March 25, 2015, 04:58:33 AM

Later on there was a guitar dude who kind of made me understand some of the posts in that other thread. Dude just picked up the guitar, sat in the back of the room on the corner couch, and stumbled through the main riffs in Enter Sandman and a few other songs. He could only play about 10-15 seconds of each song, nowhere close to one song from beginning to end, and he didn't do very well at it. If that's a good representation of the average guitar dude at a party, then I fully understand the negative reaction.

Also playing the guitar some girls think the guitar dude is "deep" and "sensitive", it's just a douche monkey that learned how to play.

Argentina is an amazing country. I highly recommend it. I'd even consider living here if not for the fact that they have crazy inflation. We should loan them Paul Volcker.

The other day in my hostel in Buenos Aires, a bunch of us were all drinking in the common room. There was a classic guitar sitting there, and for a moment I thought about picking it up and playing Babe I'm Gonna Leave You or Classical Gas or something. Didn't even touch it though. Just kept drinking and shooting the shit.

classic puddles, begins by hinting at some sort of self aware revelation, ends by reaffirming his original conviction that it's just all those bad guitar players who are ruining it for all the fretboard casanovas like himself.

also; do what you love, love what you do; get out of your comfort zone; be yourself... unless you suck; when things aren't adding up in your life you need to start subtracting;to forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you; lean in; a party without a cake is just a meeting; be the mom you want them to remember

this is his core problem, in my opinion. oddly, it's also my core problem, though I usually take things less far in the "damage my enemies" fantasies.

ironically, Lennedsay's de-tuning of the guitars at once makes the world safe from guitar creeps, exposes their limited skill set, and debilitates their immediate threat non-confrontationally. it deserved every Like it received. shit, there should be an APPLAUSE button.
