I like vanilla ice cream on top of my hot apple pie. A piece of extra sharp cheddar cheese on the side doesn't hurt, either. 😀

That's the best conspiracy theory I've heard in weeks! :beer:


I agree that it's a kickass conspiracy theory. HOWEVER...

That theory assumes that Syringer played upon the Mods' "human side." I.E. "I made a mistake and I'm sorry and I just want to post again!!!!"

And allegedly, The Mods would have mercy.

Bwuaahahahahahah!!!!!

With very few exceptions, The Mods are Old, Angry, Bitter, Unforgiving and Blatantly Belligerent...much like myself. They would not grant him a favor. He was/is not one of the Favorite Sons.

Much like if I got myself banned. You'd all cheer, cajole and make fun of me...and The Mods would take great joy in finally banning me...Lord knows I've come close, but never quite jumped off the edge.

/waits for sarcastic mod comment

ps
Syringer got what he deserved for being the most fcked up mutant of a cock-tease EVAR! And then he rode the train of fame on it. "Hey, there's the guy who left the World of Computer Geeks hanging on that "Kill a spider, bang a chick! thread!!" 😛

Is a grassy knoll involved in this somehow?


Yes, but we don't talk about the grassy knoll.


It was more of a pile or mound really...

I hope I never get what I deserve. Syringer may have basked in the attention, but still I have some sympathy for the situation. If he had finished the story we would still collectively been busting on him. I thought he took it pretty well, and if he had a second account to avoid the limelight, then I can't be too hard on him.

His sole fck-up (IMHO) is that he never finished the story. Once you're accepted into the AT Geek Brotherhood, you can't leave us hanging like that. Not every YAGT requires pics...or is smart to post pics!! Especially if you want to keep said chick! 😛 But ya gotta let us know what happened. Whether it be you got the panties or you got your right hand when she threw you out, ya'gotta finish the story!

Yeah, but ban him? I'm reasonably heartless but I'd keep him around 😛
