crazy.
 
2003-01-13 06:59:25 PM
but i do agree that AOL farks up everything they touch, look at ICQ. Once great, now shiat.
 
2003-01-13 07:04:12 PM
I read fark everyday in class.

Couldn't agree more about the demise of ICQ
 
2003-01-13 07:04:58 PM
You know they read it for the photoshops and boobies.
 
2003-01-13 07:05:36 PM
Rock on PeterHook! He sums it up
 
2003-01-13 07:05:42 PM
Heh, before ICQ, before Ebay, before MMORPGS, there was 1991, and I knew they'd all be big. MUWAHAHAHAHA. Why am I laughing? I just graduated college and I'm not out of ideas.

Trillian owns all other messaging programs.

Whoa, Drew has a TF account. Movin on up, eh?
 
2003-01-13 07:08:44 PM
Yeah I finally splurged for one
 
2003-01-13 07:08:51 PM
I always laugh when I see some news site quote users from FARK - or for that matter - users from the internet at all.
 
2003-01-13 07:08:56 PM
This is what passes for journalism? Copy & paste from message boards?
 
2003-01-13 07:09:35 PM
Huzzah for PeterHook !!!
 
2003-01-13 07:09:45 PM

I can't believe they didn't reprint my scathing comparison of AOL membership to a case of genital herpes

Lazy freekin newscasters.

I wish I could fark at work an get paid for it.

Eh, screw it. I'd have to have a job first.

Fark.com the new sorce for accurate and knoweldgeable predictions for the future of business...

yep the world is screwed.
 
2003-01-13 07:11:12 PM
Oh, swanky.

CBS quotes anyone, though, so I'm not surprised.
 
2003-01-13 07:11:20 PM
I've read Fark in almost every class block during school

1st: did that last year
2nd: same (had the page freeze for a bit while in a lab, but I got lucky)
3rd: did that this year and last year
4th: did that also
5th: I don't think I've covered this year
6th: not quite yet
7th: did it today
8th: not yet

No wonder my grade point average will be a 2.995

Ah, those magical early 90s... ICQ rocked, RealPlayer was the absolute coolest thing to squeeze through 14.4k, and videogames starred has-beens (Mark Hamill) and bigger stars (Ginger Lynn)
 
2003-01-13 07:12:20 PM
Milkman - just what I thought. If copying messages from messages boards is all it takes to make a publication, I'll give them my favorite posting just in case he's reading this:

All you motherfarkers are gonna pay, You are the ones who are the ball-lickers. We're gonna fark your mothers while you watch and cry like little biatches. Once we get to Hollywood and find those Miramax farks who are making that movie, we're gonna make 'em eat our shiat, then shiat out our shiat, then eat their shiat which is made up of our shiat that we made 'em eat. Then you're all farking next.

And that is all the news that's fit to print.

All I want is for AOL to stop sending me their stupid coasters.
 
2003-01-13 07:13:19 PM
I want to be cited in an article.
I even have a good quote:

"AOL is SOL"

I'm so witty. Feel free to use that one, MarketWatch.
 
2003-01-13 07:13:37 PM
Heh, nice 43%.

looks like someone was caught reading fark and had to quickly build a story around it...
 
2003-01-13 07:15:37 PM
Well, at least they source the site.
 
2003-01-13 07:16:30 PM

Yeah Drew, that must of cost you quite a bit to get a Total Fark account. Do you know much it costs me for me to repair my own computer???

RobbieFal that's right about where I finished High School.

Wait...you mean people actually read the stuff I post??
 
2003-01-13 07:17:22 PM
maybe it's just that i haven't farked for a few weeks, but is the font different or am i just hallucinating again?

Code_Archeologist:
"Fark.com the new sorce for accurate and knoweldgeable predictions for the future of business...

Take it easy... was quoting Fark.com about AOL, and they have been screwed for a while now. PeterHook was not making a predicition, he was stating a fact.

Now if they start quoting fark.com about more issues surrounding our buisness and economy... then we are screwed.

Kudos to PeterHook, could not have called it better!
 
2003-01-13 07:18:14 PM
Wait a minute. You mean Fark is a reputabl enews source? I'm outa he...Oh never mind it's cBS
 
2003-01-13 07:18:24 PM
Holy crap! Drew's in here? The Drew? I thought he was made up, like the Great and Powerful Oz or something.
 
2003-01-13 07:19:20 PM
Now that you mention it Backgroundnoise, the font does look different. I thought it was the Heineken messing with my vision.
 
2003-01-13 07:19:23 PM
Spaced out. Apparently
 
2003-01-13 07:20:14 PM
I heard Drew's allergic to oxygen.
 
2003-01-13 07:20:39 PM
There's a pretty ideal writing job: Get paid to surf around various message boards, cut and paste a handful of postings, and then write a couple of paragraphs for an intro and conclusion.
 
2003-01-13 07:21:37 PM
You splurged for a TF account, Drew? Sounds like someone's up to sexual favors again...
 
2003-01-13 07:21:52 PM
Hi!
 
2003-01-13 07:22:44 PM
Do you mean The Oxygen Channel Supervillain? Because yeah, that channel sucks.
 
2003-01-13 07:23:02 PM
They're quoting a message board?

No more stock tips from CBS for me.
 
2003-01-13 07:23:21 PM
Absolutben

Or like the "Great Pumpkin".. lol
 
2003-01-13 07:26:15 PM
Quick Question: Why is it when you try to look at the profile of any of the "farkers" mentioned in the article, it says they don't exist? Tastes like chicken.
 
2003-01-13 07:27:36 PM
Hey man, The Great Pumpkin is real dammit! I've got pictures of it. Sure they're pretty blurry and they could just be pictures of a regular pumpkin being dropped from a roof, but they're not. Trust me!
 
2003-01-13 07:27:54 PM
Im proud to be a farker
 
2003-01-13 07:31:58 PM
Hey, CBS.. You can write that I said, "If AOL buys google, I'm going to shoot myself directly in the brain."
 
2003-01-13 07:32:01 PM
Hi, CNN... pay attention to me, damnit!
