What are you known for?

  • Don't think it's up for me to say. Since I only got 66 fans I'm probably in the outskirts of the zoo.pl unlike the rest of y'all with the hundreds of readers.
    • wtf ever dude.

      Music rants and the Browns.

      Is this so hard? ;)
      • Music rants and the Browns.

        Well I guess that's better than High School where I was called both a Nazi and a Communist. How the hell id that happen?

        If I had more time/was a complete /.head I'd write about my other big love, film... but there are only 24 hours in a day and I gotta find time to repress folks!
    • Ah, but it's who you know, or rather, who knows you, not how many people. So, take the initiative!

    • that's more fans than me (i think).

      you're the music guy. you have more opinions in your journal than mekka b, which might be why even though you're on the cutting edge of hip, you aren't quite as hip as mekka b.

      as an aside (or an answer to em, take your pick), i think i'm known for stupidity.
      • So you still got more of the popularity than I.

        That mean I'm so hip I'm beyond hip? I like the sound of that. That or I'm elite to the point of alienation... shit, kin live with that too!
        • guess i haven't bothered to count in a while. this could be used to back up my hypothesis about my rep.

          That mean I'm so hip I'm beyond hip? I like the sound of that. That or I'm elite to the point of alienation... shit, kin live with that too!

          actually better than making a choice, it means both. you're so hip that you alienate the hipsters (that aren't actually hip) by making statements that are unpopular in the nonconformist hipster groupthink.

          haven't seen your picture, but did you see that haircut o

    And, of course, my ceaseless quest for News That Matters, in case you forgot...

  • Do I have a reason here? Am I known for anything, or do I just exist?

  • I mix a mean-ass Mai Tai,
    I funk it up on the bass,
    I beat box like nobody's business,
    I party like a rock star,
    I'm the stereo nazi at parties,
    I code like Knuth,
    I kernel like Torvalds,
    I'm the go-to guy who gets the job done.

    When shit goes down, you want me in your corner.*

    *(the only caveat is in terms of things I have some form of training for. I'm not so good with death. Not that I freak out and panic, but fixing computers and people are not the same thing- so I'm not sure what to do. Now-a-days, I have
  • stiring up opinion and every now and then making a few people laugh.
  • To say the honest thing, when it's the right thing to say.
    To be an asshole, when an asshole is needed.
    To not be indifferent, and say what I believe in even if you think it makes me a fool.

    And above all, to tell everybody whom needs to hear it: fuck ya'll.

      Be careful around mirrors; you could get stuck in an infinite loop.

  • I'd have to pose this question to the people who actually read the stuff I write :-)

    Anyone? Anyone?

    Didn't think so...

  • To my face more than one person has recognized me as...

    * precise in the verbal use of language (not sure how I got this one)
    * a very good hardware/software troubleshooter
    * decent web monkey
    * world traveller
    * ruggedly handsome
    * anti-authoritiarian
    * good in a crisis
    * rules nazi in card games
    * outdoorsy

    Is this a resume or a personals ad??
  • Luckily I have a good comic foil in real life.
  • "Cool" people don't know (or at least pretend to not know) what they are known for. It would imply that they pay close attention to what people say/think about 'em.

    Does Fonzie know he's the cool guy? No, not if he's really the cool guy. Either that, or we're seeing his tender and self-doubting side on a Very Special Episode of Happy Days.

  • ...Patron Saint of the Bleeding Obvious.
  • i'm not really known at all.
  • that is all.
  • I'm the horny/bored/lonely housewife/mother with the mind that is permanently set in double-entendre mode.

    ....Bethanie....
  • I'm known for stupidity, being completely irrelevant, useless and boring.

    what else, oh yeah, being a neo-conservative "fuck stick" libertarian "shit head."

    On the positive side I'm known for my obsessive passion for music and more to the point the recording of music and my attempts to do it.

    Oh yeah, I'm also known for being a "teetertoller," "no fun" and generally a real drag. My friends (I have 4 of them) think I'm just weird, so I'm known for that as well. But hey my SO loves me and that's all I ever re
    • neo-conservative "fuck stick" libertarian "shit head."

      You say this, and yet I have no problem differentiating you and GMontag...
    • i'm so much more stupid than you. you can't even step :)

      i'm also a no-fun tee-totaller. i also dig and try to make music. rock on, brother.
      • Well, if its any consolation, I just friend'd you :)

        Maybe our stupidity is at similiar levels? I mean, I just looked at your journal, and the whole skateboarding thing, especially the finger-boarding bit, seriously hit home with me!

        • in a completely predictable move, i reciprocated your friending action.

          "i'm a person just like you..." i've followed straight edge since about age 14, but i don't call it that anymore because i don't identify with a scene anymore. well, i do drink things with caffeine in them, but then caffeine wasn't mentioned by straight edgers i knew. rules were different in different towns. in some scenes, you had to be veggie or vegan. i'd never have made it in those circles. on a side note, some of the hardest

                • the lower case-ness is something i've held onto since i started emailing. back around '92 or so, all the email i saw was always lower case. i felt free to be lazy and not hit the shift key. i just never got rid of it. sometimes i'll use upper case stuff, but i usually just don't bother.

                  for the self-deprecation, it's really just a technique to try to keep myself from taking things too seriously. if i don't watch out, it's easy for me to do. but i'd much rather be laid-back.

                  i like being the down-beat.
  • I guess that means I might actually be really cool and just oblivious to the fact.
  • Clearly I'm a man of leisure.
  • NOBODY expects the Heliocentric!

    Our chief weapon is surprise... surprise and fear... fear and surprise....

    Our two weapons are fear and surprise... and ruthless efficiency....

    Our *four*... no... *Amongst* our weapons....

    Amongst our weaponry... are such elements as fear, surprise....

    I'll come in again.
  • I'm the Weekly Recap(tm) dude. :)

    Plus I'm well known for my far superior intellect and wit...uhhh...never mind. I'm the Weekly Recap (tm) dude. :)

    That and the "I have hot sex with bethanie anywhere anytime dude". :)

  • And while I'm at it, wtf is up with the lameness filter. Didn't someone have a sig like 'a lameness filter on /. is like a shit filter on a toilet'?

    Fucking 2 minute rule, what is this, football? Damnit, I've got snide comments to make in this JE, and this 2 minute crap is slowing me down.

  • Hockey, all things Pittsburgh, and telling off the YRO schmucks when (frequently) necessary.

    • 2 out of 3 ain't bad ... you just need to work on that YRO thing ;)

      As for hockey and all things Pittsburgh, let's try a simple word problem:

      Yinz 'r' 'n the Sow' Hills (up 'er in Mt. Lebo) drinkin' yer Ahrns, eatin' yer chipp'd ham or jumbo sammiches, enjoyin' a cold pop on occasion (cause yinz may need ta drive) and watchin' dem Stiller's play a late December Saturday game, n'at (with the sound off 'n Myron on the radio, of course). Suddenly, yinz remember that yinz got Pens tickets for the game t'nigh
      • Gotcha. Trick question. Da Pens try ta work around da Stillers' schedule 'n'at. With Mario 'n'em ahtta da pitcher, I'd have plenny of time ta drive dahn'a Clipper, listening to Cope's Cabana all da way. An if Scooter's bein' a jagoff, he can find his own way ta da hospital 'n'at.

        This is Stanley P. Kachowski, remindin' yinz that Karma is good food.

    Don't know really. Do I have to be known for something?
  • Excessive use of ellipsis...?
    • I'm actually quite good at them meself!

      As for me, I think its mostly known for being the perfect idol of the anti-slashdot-zealot... I guess?
  • ... Being composed of entirely jello. It's quite the feat of bio-sciences.

  • I am known for:

    sitting in the back
    not talking much
    the occasional good idea
    trying to be good
    waiting too long
    being humerous
