Spawn Girl

I have a much simpler perspective on this subject, it's born from seeing the same pattern occur many times.

1. A creative, positive and hopeful person works long and hard on their dream project/job over many years.
2. A miserable bunch of jealous, spiteful subhuman degenerates work to destroy that dream over as many years.
3. Eventually the degenerates let their jealously get the better of them and then they plot to steal said dream.
4. The degenerates steal said dream, someone in charge ratifies the theft and then absolute fucking chaos ensues.
5. The degenerates lie endlessly about the theft and then go on to mismanage and/or destroy what they stole.
6. The creative, positive and hopeful person ends up utterly deprived of ANY justice and then slowly goes insane.

This is the story of Spawngirl, this is the story of Beaver, this is the story of a LOT of people.

In case no one has figured it out yet there was a damn good reason that I was the ONLY person who backed Beaver in EVERYTHING he did, NO MATTER WHAT. for the past ten years.


The same thing happened to me once, in a different community, in a different time.

I responded QUITE differently though - i STOLE everything (my stuff back AND their stuff) and held it to ransom in return for a full (their words ONLY) admission of the truth of what they had done which, naturally, they were only able to TRULY fathom once they were confronted with the powerlessness i inflicted on them.

There are few things SWEETER than watching someone who is used to having power and thinking they are right just BEGGING for mercy.

Once i had a full admission of the truth and had broken their false reputations i destroyed ALL of it, my work and theirs, and then i left!

Yes, there was cold hard evidence presented, not just their words, to prove my position and disprove their positions.


Does everyone understand why i am THE most UNBANNED person in this community now? i often see this shit coming and avoid it.


This forum has been dying from multiple 'chill effect' sources for a LONG time.

100% horse shit.

I don't know. It's in the past now. A lot of that history is now lost with quadz' passing.

Nope. It's still here with several of us who remember, despite your lurid attempts to revise history.

You know it, I know it, we ALL know it, this messageboard is one of the most easy-going messageboards on the entire web. It takes more to get tossed outta here than just about any other board on the web. She's gone, she's deserved it, everyone is better off for it, end of story. Thanks for digging it back up though.

Mental illness sucks. It happens to lots of people, but our society as a collective of individuals (not just a collective, period) has the right to continue functioning normally towards the pursuits of each individual without being hindered by a malfunctioning abnormal minority. We have multi-lane freeways, but if a mentally ill person is afraid of cars, do we all think it's best to sympathize with that mentally ill person and tear out the freeways in favor of walking everywhere? Fuck that.

Mental illness is a fact of life. You can wring your hands about it and point your fingers at others for not doing enough to fix it... like someone who is more concerned about virtue signalling than addressing the problem... or you can quietly and humbly address the problem itself without all of this dramatic showmanship.

Then again,... maybe we'd have more money for mental illness and such social problems if so many people weren't grifting the social programs like when they refused to work after covid, don'tcha think?

A weird short film with James Brown.

From the videos description: James Brown, Clive Owen, Gary Oldman and Danny Trejo star in this hyperkinetic short film from the director of True Romance. Commissioned by BMW to promote their cars, it was one of a series of shorts directed by top tier tHollywood filmmakers.

Tastyspleen's been around long enough that if you're asking people one day to start calling you something different... you're S.O.L. That's like when Gordon Sumner up and one day insisted that everyone call him Sting.

Since I'm on the topic of "oldies", another old one I watched a while back that I'd recommend...



Lady in the Lake (1947) - starring Audrey Totter

Definitely in the noir genre. A bit of an oddball movie for the time. The entire thing is shot in 1st person perspective. YOU are the main character. The synopsis from IMDB:

The lady editor of a crime magazine hires Phillip Marlowe to find the wife of her boss. The private detective soon finds himself involved in murder.

Audrey Totter. Like Kim Novak, an absolutely gorgeous woman - both proof that class matters and you don't have to look like a slutty whore to be a knockout. It's kinda funny how her character interestingly evolves from an aloof ice queen bitch to a clingy smitten-with-love submissive as it goes on.

Not a particularly amazing movie. The story is okay. I just thought it was something out-of-the-ordinary and interesting enough to recommend as something "different". So keep that in mind: not "amazing"... it's "different".

Vertigo (1958) - starring James Stewart, Kim Novak, directed by Alfred Hitchcock

WOW. See this.

I've never been too much of a Hitchcock fan. I remember the first time I saw The Birds (1963, starring Tippi Hedren) when I was maybe 7 years old and it scared the piss outta me. I remember my parents and grandparents thought it was funny that it scared me because to adults its not all that scary... but think about some of the scenes in the movie for a second. Hordes of crows attacking little children on a playground, killing them and pecking peoples eyeballs out. I was fuckin' 7 years old. My family: buncha fuckin' sadists. 

I was always more into 80's and 90's cheesey, campy, horror, cult kinda stuff. But you get older, your tastes evolve. I'm starting to appreciate older movies a lot more, especially the black and white stuff from the 40's, stuff you see on TCM typically. So Christmas Eve I was flipping through the guide on the satellite and saw that TCM was doing a bunch of Hitchcock movies on Christmas. I knew no one else in the house would wanna watch that stuff on Christmas day, so I DVR'd it.

Rear Window (1954)
The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956)
Vertigo (1958)

I've seen Rear Window before,... I think I've even seen a remake of it too, but I can't remember who the hell was in it - it was a long time ago. Rear Window is pretty good, a classic. I watched it the other night, but didn't get to finish it because rain or some kind of interference screwed with the recording on the DVR. The very ending was blipped, right at the scene where he falls out of the window and all the police finally show up. Almost like someone planned it that way just to annoy me. Totally ruined it, I had to hop online to watch the ending on youtube. 

Same thing Man Who Knew Too Much. About 10 seconds into it, the recording died and kicked me back out to live TV mode.

Vertigo worked though.

Man! What a good movie. A lot of people these days rank it as Hitchcock's #1 masterpiece. I might have to agree with that. (I always thought Psycho was Hitchcock's best - one of the greatest horror/psych thrillers and it was top 3 on my favorite horror movies list.) Great use of augmented reality with some clever usage of animation in key spots that doesn't interrupt the flow and feel of the movie the way you'd think tossing in some animated effects might. Sort of a noir kinda thing, little bit of a mystery, a classic romance/thriller like Hollywood was known for back in the 40's and 50's. An absolutely gorgeous Kim Novak. James Stewart is not really one of my favorite actors, but he was perfect for the part. And just the fact that it was made in '58 - the cars, the buildings, the clotches, art-deco style of everything... It was the PERFECT time and place for such a story. You can try to recreate it in modern film, but it never has the same feel to it.

It's piqued my interest in Hitchcock movies now. Went online and looked up a complete list of all of his movies. Eh... too many to get em all. I made a list of about 20 of them (which might be close to half (chatgpt says theres 53).

the biggest asshole here (you)

We can actually measure which one of you is the bigger asshole.

I wonder what we'd see if we read your server chats for the past year. Are you a nice fun loving guy, or are you a chronic shit stirring asshole?

ps. didn't download the demo. Still, I got 5 bucks that says NOTHING TO SEE HERE. I mean when you describe it as someone who just installed, then obviously they aren't walling. Wallers have been playing a while and mostly know what they're doing. How many times we gotta do this? I'm at the point where I'm not gonna look at your demos anymore.

Man. Is it just me or has this year, and especially this holiday season, gone by like lightning? I ain't getting any younger, and putting out all the Christmas decorations this year was a lot of work: digging out the 10 big ole plastic tubs of ornaments and decorations and doo-dads and everything. My god, it's SO MUCH. I gotta drag about 5 loads up from the basement around the side of the house and up the hill using big heavy duty handtrucks. And then theres my pre-lit 9-foot artificial tree that comes in 3 pieces and is like dragging 3 dead mooses up from the basement. And this year I added a whole bunch of big lighted yard decorations that took forever to hook up with 90-zillion different extension cords and 3-way adapters. I guess I've just been so busy this year with work and everything that it's taken up all my time and made things go by faster. Luckily I have JACK SHIT to do other than sit on my butt and watch tv and whatever the hell else I wanna do until the new year.

October, November, and December... without a doubt, my favorite 3 months of the year. It's great. Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Leaves changing in fall (plus grass stops growing and no more yard work for a while, hooray), football season, nice cool weather.

But alas all good things must come to an end.

Anyway, like my lord and savior hath said, I hope EVERYONE, even my enemies, had a wonderful Christmas.

One of many peoples favorite Christmas movies, National Lampoons Christmas Vacation.

They've show it damn near every day on TV this December... and I've seen it on TV plenty thoughout the rest of the year too. Hell, it's almost like they're TRYING to make people get sick of it. Here's a short video with some interesting info about several deleted and missing scenes that are likely hidden away in a vault somewhere. Maybe they'll dig 'em out one day.

It looks like it belongs in a ZZ Top Video 

That was a 33 Ford Coupe.



My grandpa had a 1935 Willys Coupe that he bought after coming home from the Korean War.



He drove himself and my grandma all the way from the Naval base in Washington state back to Atlanta GA. I think there's pics of them in front of the car stopping at different places in the desert out in Arizona and such. My dad said he was kinda pissed when he sold it in the mid or late 60's because he was looking forward to getting it. Instead, before he started driving, they went out and bought him an old 62 Chevy Imapala SS. The car was stolen out of the driveway at night not long after I was born. Back in 2009 or so when I was making shitloads more money that I am now, my friend and I found him another one, towed it home, worked on it ourselves for a year in secret, and I gave it to him for Christmas that year.

So if I outlive my old man, I'll get it back... and I like a 62 Chevy Imapala... but I dunno, I kinda wish grandpa would've kept that 35 Willys too, then that would've been what I restored for him.

I dunno though, those old 30's coupes look cool, but they're pretty small inside. I dunno that my big ass could fit in one comfortably.
