This thread was linked on other forums, for example Tom's. People joined the forum to get in on the fun.

Can anyone give a link for this one?

Link :)

Who knows. I just know one thing for sure. There is no way i will let a girl touch me inless its to get papers for work or anything i have to do. If they touch me somewhere i don't want i am going to court. i don't want money either. I just want jail time or something for that person. They have to learn you do the crime you pay the time. That goes for anyone to.

Strangely I can't find any of his threads now(yes i used search), but for those of you who read them, I'm sure you can vouch for the weirdness.

Edit: Search in the archives too next time ;)


Doh :eek:

I wondered why they weren't coming up!


Well I came to the conclusion that imtim83 is either a attention-whore or a troll.

Such a wonderful, unbelievable thread. "I have high levels of smartness" being the most memorable line. Have to read into it to get the full effect.
So that's where "high levels of smartness" came from -- I love that phrase :)

Thanks, definitely worth the time to read, though not quite as densely packed with deadpan goodness as the Hasselhoff CD reviews on Amazon. Red acting sweet and helpful had me laughing out loud.

Dannylove's goodbye thread was pretty intense.

edit: so it wasnt THAT great of a thread, BUT HEY! It was pretty cool to see him last so long away from the forums.

Pillage2001's sig reminded me of this one: Who was the guy again who bought 5 crappy keyboards in an offer, and half the replies in the thread were people asking him why he bought those? :D

Hehe you know, now that I think of it so many of those threads I remember being really involved in. I let nightflyerGTI have it in his thread, tried to help but ended up going off on deeko etc etc. Seen some funny sh*t on these boards.

If you search for user THUGSROOK, Archived messages, in CPU/Procs, General Hardware and OT, you find several threads from him. It seems though like he edits out a lot of his threads, removing both the title as well as his posts.

LOL spike! I still have the fishy snuff video on my hard drive.

Shameless self plug, but I nominate my own "My fish has no face!" thread.
