Cool and Uncool posts in OOT

[Boris]

I thought I'd clear up some misconceptions about what constitutes a quality post in OOT. If you disagree with me you're 99.99% likely to be extremely lame.

1. Pictures of Your Alleged Girlfriend -- These posts are extremely cool. Matt says you can get in trouble if the girl doesn't know. Don't let that stop you. Get her permission or lie and say you got her permission. Don't listen to the anti-hetero crowd hating on how you lack taste and class for splashing the object of your affection all over the Internet. It's not true. It just means your proud of your love.

2. Any post by chicks not named Peachy -- These posts are also extremely cool. Peachy would be OK if she wasn't such an uber negative hater biatch.

3. Any post trying to impress a chick poster -- Another awesome category. No, we don't think you have game (except for cnfzzed; he's definitely got serious game.). We just like to laugh at you and laughter makes us feel better.

4. Any post with a video of the Milk Bet in action -- I laugh my ass off when people vomit. Awesome.

5. Any post discussing the best this or the best that -- With rare exceptions, these posts are extremely lame. The only good one I can recall is the Worst Album Cover thread. Please restrain yourself when it comes to these sorts of things.

6. Posts asking for advice. In general these posts are not entertaining. But they can be good. Please use discretion when starting these threads. If you want advice on how to deal with a chick you MUST POST A PIC! Otherwise go back to your room and jerk-off.

7. Trip Reports -- Usually lame. These posts have potential if you post pics. We like real life pics.

8. Posting while drunk -- Awesome. especially if you're an obnoxious drunk. Posting that you're drunk is lame. But you already know that.

9. Posts recommending a good band or a good book -- quality content here. Please have good taste.

10. Any post by Saltcracker - Awesome.

It's usually funny at first. Then next thing you know the thread has ~400 posts /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

No [censored]. Diesel is a damn indian giver, getting our hopes up with promises of pictures of whiplash, just to let those hopes crash and burn after weeks and weeks of no pictures. Damn you, Diesel. Damn you to hell!

Well done Boris.

Perhaps this should be amended to Mat's Welcome to OOT post.

[SL__72]

/images/graemlins/confused.gif I was just agreeing with you... although you are right about one thing, I'm probably not cool.

[Shajen]

yeah, you got a raw deal homey.

[Boris]

Sorry Bro. misunderstanding.

[Matt Flynn]

Excellent post Boris.

Also cool: posts about gladiating animals and 5-year-olds. And posts about gladiating girlfriends, but sadly there have been so few.

Yeah, misspelling the TSC is nearly unforgivable. Otherwise, great post.

[Piz0wn0reD!!!!!!]

11. posts that are a cry for attention = lame. IE sean p (or whatever it is) style.

12. random links to weird/funny pics/movs/articles + good taste = pwn.

Hmmm, so if I post my Brewfest trip report that I never posted, which includes TSC and various pics, I've got a chance at a non-lame thread, right?

post a trip report with a pic of TSC sharing a glass of beer with your wife and you'll get red letters instead of green.

I don't read that much OOT, but his posts in Sporting Events are usually pretty good. Unless he is talking about how good the yankees are, then his posts suck /images/graemlins/smile.gif .

Hmmm, it took some photoshopping, and the fact that I'm included probably hurts it, but here you go.

And don't worry, I probably will never post a full report, because my recollection of the different beers is, um, hazy at best.

I will throw in a bonus picture of some drunk chicks dancing at the piano bar we went to later.

tres cool bro. tres cool.

I like how you kept yourself between TSC and your wife. Wise move.

So, did the mod that posted this picture of random girls have their permission? Probably not, and neither do you /images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[Boris]

don't be a nit. besides you can't see any of the faces.

[benza13]

I kid, I kid...plus, I agree that trip reports need more pics.

[ThaSaltCracka]

oh jeez /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Blarg]

Hmm, I guess you mean threads, not posts.

My favorite five nominees for worst posts, not threads, in order:

1. Song lyrics, especially by the kind of lame band a guy like YOU would like, and especially if they have nothing to do with the thread.

2. Links without explanation. No, I'm not that fascinated by strangers that I want to take your word for it. If even YOU don't like it enough to explain the link or try to sell it, it must truly suck, so why bug me about it?

3. Posts that are really e-mails in disguise. Not only annoying, but this always looks like a gay love affair between two guys nobody would want ANY kind of consensual relationship with.

4. Posts that are 2048 x 1600 or something and screw up the whole page.

5. Posts that quote another 1000 word post and say nothing about it.

[Boris]

nice. agree.

6. Posting idiocy, getting called on it, and then following up with a lame excuse. "Ahhhh well, that's what I get for posting before coffee..."

Hey, don't quote me like I came up with it! Quote the guy that used it first.

And I agree with you.

Ugh, without even clicking on it, I'll bet ChipWrecked's link is to one of the many flirtfests between you and mslif. It is extremely lame, especially when you two start using winking smileys and [censored].
