This is kind of messed up - Obama was in NYC today, so if you had a bike locked up on his route, it looks to be gone forever.

Happy Earth Day

Olympic and world 400m champion LaShawn Merritt failed three successive drugs tests between October and January.

His lawyer Howard Jacobs claimed in a statement that the positive tests were caused by Merritt's "use of an over-the-counter male enhancement product".

Pro Tip: Put JoeyP and The.Accountant on ignore before venturing into any kipin thread. And since half of that thread is posts by Georgia Avenue or Limesparks, I'm assuming you're putting them in the 80% group which is kinda didsy, tbh.

Basically, repeatedly making posts like this:

Yeah pretty much one line insults in atf after mat asked a year or so ago that people start being constructive in his forum or gtfo. Which got me to stay away from ATF for idk 6 months or so. I think the quoted post above is pretty funny though (large bag of dicks) but the couple posts of that got him banned definitely had a different ratio of F:I.

Now that I'm not on a phone during a class.

To be clear- Mat PMed me (which was a shock, since I have PMs off) after one of my posts in the ATF thread telling me that I could tell Ed he was welcome back if he didn't insult people and stayed out of ATF.

I pm-ed Ed on fkn, and we got that short lived account, which is a pretty solid insult towards Mat's dad and Ed sure as **** knew that.

I think it's too bad that Ed didn't want to keep posting at 2p2, 'cause he's awesome- but whatever. He's made his choice, such is life.

That is basically what I told mat via PM. I wish he'd asked me about it before doing that through dids. Once the account was deleted it was game over between ed and 2p2 and that should have been pretty obvious.

oh and he obv has no self control whatsoever when it comes to saying offensive things no matter the circumstances, but that's one of the reasons he is so funny.

Oh, I didn't for a second think Ed would play nice- I just passed on the message. I personally wish that he would have, just for my own benefit in being amused.

What are these reasons? I actually went to kipin's forum to ask Ed this and his answer was "mat's a tard blah blah blah" which doesn't really do much for me.

No, GA is awesome and I have no real opinion of Limesparks so that means he's probably funny. The other two definitely, and probably some others I got used to skipping over.

Even suggesting that I would be Didsy - aka everything in the world sucks by my decree, stay tuned for more decrees from me - is pretty hurtful.

Yeah. I had the impression the original impetus for the forums was people were sick of bans for censorship reasons. I remain unconvinced that being able to say f*ggot (as but one example) freely has done much for the comic artistry.

nah, people just wanted their own forum - it's not likely to retain 'comic artistry' when it's the same 50 people.

Isn't that Lisa Lampanelli's shtick? Just be as obnoxious and offensive as possible and hope people somehow find it funny? To her credit she's made a lot of money doing it, so good for her.

It's not about wanting to be offensive imo.

It's about wanting to be funny without having to worry if you're going to get in trouble if your humor happens to be offensive.

I don't really understand why the fkn folks let TA and JoeyP run around like drooling ******s as much as they do, but whatever- it works for them.

That's a tough movie to like if you don't know any of the back story. Ridley Scott is a balla for making it.
