Here's a pic of me at the RNC in 2004; yes, I am standing in
the middle of Madison Square Garden with a toy wrestling belt
over my shoulder.

That puts me in the same elite company as Hulk Hogan, Pedro
Morales, Ric Flair, Bob Backlund and Bruno Sammartino.

What doesn't show up is the Al Jazeira sign just above my head....

hand out such a title.

I wasn't sure why this was greened. Then I saw DjangoStonereaver's post, and I knew why: so we could make fun of him.

My favorite part:

"Django Stonereaver" is the name of my main character in the "Living Greyhawk" campaign run by Wizards of the Coast's RPGA network.

(Pause while people stop snickering).

He is a dwarven sorcerer/Rogue/Fighter/Arcane Trickster, with a thing for Elven women. Though I originally started him to be an easy to keep track of character (less paperwork for sorcerers), I always wanted him to be a 'dwarven hippie', and he's taken on a life of his own through my activities on the message board for the local chapter of the campaign, so much so that I am actually writing stories featuring him.

Because you've never done anything to me that would require me to cast "Eat a Bowl of Dicks" on you, I'll give you some straight-up advice here.

Abandon this thread. Further attempts at attention-whoring are not going to serve you well here.

Lay low, and soon all will be forgotten. If you keep feeding this thread, you are in danger of attaining "Fark meme" status, and not in a good way.

jasonmicron, but at least I don't have a MySpace or a

Yup. Another qualified critic.

I think Dave should make Django his running mate. Who wouldn't want the man that carried a championship belt into the mecca of pro wrestling a hearbeat away from the presidency?
 
2008-09-02 2:29:54 PM  
And here I agreed with you about Depeche Mode & Erasure. You just set yourself up for a bucket of failure here Django. If you run and hide now, as Cagey said you may come out of this one.

Drew is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to surfe the net without good purpose:
He leadeth me beside the tapped kegge.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for boobies sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of snark,
I will fear no mockery or memes: For thou art with me;
Thy HTML Editor and thy beer-soaked webservers, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a web forum before me in the presence of mine enemies;
Thou slapest me upside my head with own silliness; the Foobies links runneth over.

Surely well deserved and good hearted mockery shall follow me all the days of my TF Account,
and I will dwell in the House of Fark forever, or until my PayPal account is hacked

Believe me: I did it knowing full well I was doing the digital
equivalent of dousing a campfire with kerosene. If I become a
meme, for good or ill, then I will relish it.

But, I am completely honest when I said that pic is the
fulfillment of a childhood dream. Any one from the NY Tristate
area knows that MSG is the center of the universe, especially
wrestling fans. To not have done it would have been far more
galling than the worst you all could say about me, and I figured
that of anywhere in the world apart from my own circle of friends,
this would be the place to share it.

I see that I was correct.

If that's attention whoring, then paint my face and call me Jezebel, daddy! WOOOOOOOOOOO!

Really? THAT'S your childhood dream?

Well, I suppose congratulations are in order, then. Some people aim way to high to achieve their dreams, so, kudos, Jezebel, kudos.

Well Django, then you have my respect for that comment. I will let my Farky speak the rest.

Barack Obama contends that he is more experienced in executive matters than Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin because he has managed his presidential campaign for the past 18 months.

For Barack Obama to argue that he's experienced enough to be president because he's running for president is desperate circular logic and its laughable. It is a testament to Barack Obama's inexperience and failing qualifications that he would stoop to passing off his candidacy as comparable to Governor Sarah Palin's executive experience managing a budget of over $10 billion and more than 24,000 employees
