...a regular joe with a regular job, your average white suburbanite slob. He likes football and porno and books about war.

ATOT as a personal ad:

------------------------------------

"poster seeking anyone who is willing to listen.

i am well versed in every subject of discussion, but especially technology, politics, science, finance, relationships, music, movies, cooking, luxury cars, legos, gas prices, guns, watches, poetry and bulk meats. my worldview is a fortress that will not likely budge even in the face of mountains of contradictory evidence. i am proud of my successes and accomplishments, and humbly mention them almost every chance i get. i have been known to anger easily and disrespect authority. i may instinctively insult you if i disagree with anything that you have to say.

despite this, i am always eager to hear what you have to say. i am available to talk almost any time of the day, even if it interferes with my work or relationship responsibilities. i will reminisce about the good times and laugh at your inside jokes. and even if we disagree about almost everything, i will wish you only the best in times of loss and fear and uncertainty and doubt.

in return, all i request is that you do the same for me."

I'll bite since it's been bumped.

The typical ATOTer is a white male between the age of 30-50 who shops exclusively at Cosco and buys alternator sized beef for some reason, has Amazon Prime and leans left. Loves Star Trek and Star Wars and all things "dork" related. A general idiot, but quite cunning in their call outs. Has mastered the art of memes and puns. Constantly talks about some guys basement and "pointy elbows." When they're not posting on ATOT they can be found looking at porn.

Of course this just describes ATOT. Not the other forums.

I'd describe the typical ATOTer that hasn't had any forum activity in over 2 years as presumed dead.

Last we heard from OP, he was actually going through chemo, so...you both probably feel bad right now.

it was either that or make a new post. i figured since this one was similar to the thread i was going to start, i would just reply to this one instead.

enjoy the complementary trip down memory lane.


One of the reasons why I don't have a retention period for any of my forum topics at my shitty little forum. There's no such thing as a "necro" (which is a god damn candy BTW!) as I feel like if the topic exists and subject matter pertaining to that topic should be added instead of creating yet another damn topic. Keeps the database small at least.

You forget the part of:
-0.00000001% body fat
-over 6ft tall
-2 ft long penis
-gazillionaire (millionaires and billionaires are losers)
-drive Lambo/Ferrari/Bentley/fillintheblank exotic vehicles
-madz skills in MMA/muaythai/krav maga/fillintheblank current "hot/in style" hand to hand combat/fighting skill
-vast knowledge and experience/expert on everything under the sun (mostly, if not all came from Wiki)...and on and on...

All that while they are still in Junior High and live in parents' basement. :D

Only a 2 foot long dink? You seriously underestimate me sir.

I can only assume you are attempting to refer to a Necco (wafer).

And don't sell yourself short--pretty sure your forum has seen a 1000% boost in traffic over the last couple of days!

I clicked on your forum link once and it was creepy enough I still remember it. An entire forum with hundreds of posts all by you and then there was one other person with a few posts, but I'm guessing that was just you as well. Maybe you aren't even a real person, but instead some poorly written AI that has infected the internet.
