if you're facing east
and you're looking for the sun to set my friend
you're looking the wrong way
and if you're standing in traffic and get hit by a car
you'll going to be hurt
I guess what I'm trying to say is, know your body !

Individually, I understand all of the words now on the Plastic.com homepage. Or at least I thought I did before I read the page. However, here's the same page run through the AltaVista translator twice:


Several days are possess us request. The just time enough will change the position "Plastic to "... to the Plastic most a little later the manager and the "friend", Carl sparkly new was new ("by the" butcher right skins) server Steadman. [1]

The time enough to the belt aid and bubblegum your affection NEWSPIT, returned its glory day, uncelebrated is similar to them perhaps is, completely went in us returns to use before 2400 bauds modulators. Why? (What?) Because we know you now rather wait for the ratio waits for FOREVER. [2] so. Remembers. This is the opportunity. Like this treats it. How many adopts downtime we the precious gift tells the friend or family them truly means to you, because they obviously are not Carl. (Only if I is Carl, impossible to divorce under again my situation in you). Therefore there. And prepares. For is brand-new, one has not reflected the picture point the difference, all this same and front but BETTER-THAN-EVER Plastic.com! [3] so comes back.
Hail Satan, lord of the underworld. But now. Now, gets out of the way.

-- Your humble (d) master, Joey Anuff and Carl Steadman

[1] Laughter other detonations. I request again. " what?" Andrew wipes one drop tear. What certain people " will it be are interesting spend their money, " he stop up, with will smile.
[2] "And do not forget this X10 guarantee person, " Carl increases, the achievement converses one useful line. " these fall popups needs the time does right. " and I will be supposed later then to say " Hmm... will not make any person needs to use this washroom?" That is " punchline. " I ever were the writer, you knew...
[3] Except all cool materials which went, but only too rapidly forgets. Does not have, does not worry regarding this. Occurs all times.

After reading the translated version, I really am sad. It means so much more now. :(

Good, I hope they stay dead. It's another piss ass hippie, anti-us, terrorist hugging rag.

It IS confusing blabber.
What WAS it?

 
theironchef 2001-12-01 02:20:40 PM  
....so now would be a good time to visit backwash.com!

plus it's not dominated by dumb-ass liberals...well, it's got some, but not everybody!

 
clscjones 2001-12-01 03:24:16 PM  
no idea what this entire thing was about, but not worth the time to figure out, looks like

 
MrEricSir 2001-12-01 04:18:00 PM  
Plastic was worthless Fark rippoff.

 
Michael 2001-12-01 05:05:59 PM  
I've never been to plastic.com but I'm really tired of dumbass conservatives talking about how dumbass the liberals are.

 
Permagrined 2001-12-01 06:07:04 PM  
I suspect most of the commenters thusfar have never even been to plastic. It's a lot like Fark. Users post news messages and then Users comment on them. Everyone aat Plastic has the ability to be a moderator, and you can filter out comments that are below your threshold. It was an awsome site, built on the slashdot model. It a little less technology oriented, and more political, but its certainly not run by liberals or any other political group. Just a place for lonley netheads to be lonly together.

Got Liberty?

Dammnit! And I'd just managed to acquire 5 whole points of karma before the site went down. Does anyone know where I can trade in my karma points in for cash?

Interesting coincidence: I began to troll Plastic.com like I do Slashdot and within a week, Plastic goes down. Now if only we could do the same with that turd of a website, Slashdot, everything would be peachy.

Trolling Slashdot? It's so pointless now, the S/N ratio is so bad all that's left are trolls and crapflooders.

 
hermit 2001-12-01 08:41:42 PM  
"Plastic Down" sure, I understand, artificial fluffy stuff. From there the drama gets murky.

I remember the site. I never could view it right using netscape on linux with my non-default font settings. The characters would overlap squished into cell too small that was specified by pixel count. I remember them as someone who tried to get fancy with html and ended up with a broken page.

No tears.

wtf?

 
wil [TotalFark] 2001-12-01 10:11:19 PM  
They shouldn't have always been dicks to me.

That's why they went down...and let this be a warning to all of you...I have sold my soul to so many various devils and demons, that I have all the forces of evil totally on my side.

*cackle*

Somebody Wil's string? Seriously though, plastic sucked a fat one.

Insert the world 'pull' in there somewhere and it will make more sense.

 
BAKup 2001-12-02 12:13:18 PM  
pull my finger?

 
Krik81 2001-12-02 02:38:46 PM  
Wil may have sold his soul to many demons, but The Shat got the Lucifer contract, i`m sure.

 
Rebar 2001-12-02 02:55:41 PM  
Plastic ate shiat. Good riddance.

 
AzraelBrown 2001-12-02 05:56:15 PM  
Awww....my karma was well over 100 It hadn't changed in months, because there was no reason for me to contribute any more - it stopped being interesting after a couple months. I second the backwash.com option, if only because the 'Plasticians' were so pissy about a backwash press release which mentioned Plastic.
