Smash The State & it's Dip-Set Byrd Gang Taliban, are the largest percentage of G.I. Joe fans who aren't stupid fucks, obsessed with internet memes that went out of date years ago (Fact: You will find at least 2 Chuck Norris fact signatures and 1 Heath Ledger's Joker Avatar on a G.I. Joe message board)
Looking back on Mike "De Aço Fountain": De Aço was a dick, but damned amusing in restrospect. Maybe he realized early that toy collecting is about being the biggest spend-o-holic nerd in a tiny pool full of other nerds. The early internet days of praising army builder nuts and their rows of figures was just that, patting people on the back for simply having spent more money than everyone else.
Truer words were never spoken: I think I like trolling just as much as joes at this point.
Felonious Monk was a heroic jerk and probably owns a Miró painting: All this type of shit became pretentious when geeks started calling it "art". I met a game developer who actually referred to it as "art" as well. Apparently, if writing code can be art, anything can be art. I consider repacking an art form along the lines of that shit Christo does. It's making a statement about the futility of consumer culture at large and the insignificance of the geeky-fuck subculture in modern society.
Talking about the weirdest fucking dude on HISSTANK: I fucking love JROD. Talking about him is like the highlight of coming to the board now. Thing is...I bet that guy lives the happiest life ever. He loves his ugly wife has a hobby and friends! We could all learn a lesson from this fucking guy. He may be the one happy person on the planet. Why are stupid people so damn happy?
General Hawk (Yeah that guy with website and a lot of Dio Stories) said this: This probably sounds funny coming from a guy who devotes way too much time to this shit, but I do think a lot of folks take this way too seriously and need to have more fun with it.
The best example of this recently was at Toy Fair in February...someone stood up and asked the Hasbro panel (with reps from Star Wars, Joe, Transformers, and Marvel) if they saw this stuff as "toys for kids" or "adult collectibles", and every rep was adamant that this stuff is "toys for kids".
The whole audience looked crestfallen. I thought it was great.

A conversation on Patrick Swayze: "He didn't win a poll on 98oldsmobiledotgov.blogspot.com and he didn't win against cancer.
Fun fact: One time in an Airport I saw Kurt Russel(or someone who looked like him) and I totally yelled out "HEY PATRICK SWAYZE YOU FUCKING RULED IN DIRTY DANCING""
"When I read about that the first thing I thought about was you verbally accosting him in an airport.
Hopefully when Rod Stewart finally dies I can expose the full details of how I killed his monkey"
The most intelligent thing ever said about HissTank: "That site gives me the creeps."
The reply to EVERY JOE FAN WITH A QUERY ABOUT REAL LIFE MATTERS thread ever: "HAY! JOEBROS! GIVE ME ADVICE ON MY KID'S HEALTH! YOU LAME FUCKERS WITH BACKWARDS PRIORITIES OUGHT TO BE AUTHORITIES ON SUCH MATTERS!"
In response to a query of the legitimacy of Nacho as a cheese type: "No, but it IS a type of JRD208's favorite kind of food: processed."
REAL TALK: You harassed and lied to some low wage workers because you had to get a figure for $2 (which probably already owned one of anyway). Fuck you.
A possible use for HISS Tank: "The Tank has so many unemployed men, it should be in some sort of Barrack era study."
Some stupid fuck once asked me "John, why is STS still around?" This is the reason:
"You can just tell that Shin Gouki fuck is standing there thinking he's a soldier of liberty ready to hold off the Red Menace/the New World Order/Brown people." Last Best Angry Man
Happy 2011 you god damn folks.
I was a very good year for stupid toy playing racists having diarrhea of the mouth. You should have quoted me when i said, "I collect GI JOE figures so I can rape hookers with them."....wait, that was Footloose!
ReplyDeleteWell, shit. I guess that board was/is good for something. A collection of funny fuckers keepin' it REALZ! is never a bad thing.
ReplyDeleteFact: I'm still a heroic jerk.
My wish for 2011 is that Jack(assorted numbers) gets out of rehab/county jail/commune/pharmaceutical research contract/mojo hole/Safeway's stockboy job and comes back to say, "Hey". "Should old acquaintance be forgot..." and etc.
There are so many things I want to say, but my iPad battery is low and I need to wipe.
ReplyDeleteIt was a good year for STS.
it wasn't a bad year.
ReplyDeletehave you ever seen Crumb, that movie about R. Crumb? that part where it shows his insane brother eating this really long string of cloth so when he shits it out it cleans his colon? i feel like that's what 2010 was like... my colon is clean, but was it worth it to swallow that cloth?
