And white hoes. Are you a white hoe? [ 06-16-2003: Message edited by: Comrade Snoota ]
Long walks on the beach at sunset, puppies and kittens, taking naps and the sounds of kids laughing.
No really!!!
Fuck you guys, I'm taking my ball and going home.
and yes, I'm serious.
I also like computers, cars, and sex.
No, Really. Bite me.

Welcome to EC .
Unfortunately for you, most people here like flaming new people for no reason at all. Don't take it personally just because they are assholes.
Enjoy your stay!

This insanity brought to you by Comrade Snoota:
I like pie. Poontang pie.And white hoes. Are you a white hoe?
Hoes is plural.
Ho is singular.
Hoe is a garden tool.
Ho is an easy bitch. Spreadin' her legs is easy as spreadin' soft butter.

There is no correct way to spell that as it is not a real word. Many people use ho, many people stay with hoe. I personally use ho when the need arises, but since the person who did my sig pic used hoe I used hoe in that instance.
I win and you, my friend, lose.

When I see you asking, 'Are you a white hoe?', I can't help but get this thought in my mind that you're asking her if she's a gardening instrument.
Ask her if she's a white ho, and you're asking her, 'You easy, bitch?'.
I am superior. My knowledge of 'street lingo' supercedes your own.

I, however, have actually been on the "streets" and seen this "street lingo" you speak of in action outside of the latest fad on MTV. I still win.

Dude, I cruise the streets all the time.
Well, okay, I drive down to the theater district to watch anime at one of the 'alternative' theaters that usually runs foreign films.
But I saw the Cowboy Bebop movie there on friday.
So, by virtue of seeing the cowboy bebop movie on friday, I win.

Khyron painfully thought these words up:

I saw it two weeks ago.

Friday is more recent than two weeks ago.
Plus, I watched a few episodes of it today. Episode 11, the one with the lobster fridge, is cool.

I watched some episodes today, too. I'm up to number 10. Just started on the series like three days ago and don't have a lot of time to watch them.

My favorite is probably episode... I think it's 17. Mushroom Samba. It's fucking hilarious.

Ja'Deth Issar Ka'bael attempted to be funny by writing:
1. Technically, "Hos" would likely be pronounced similar to "Hoss" or "Hoz". Adding an E before the S ensures the preservation of the Long Vowel sound of the O. In addendum, since "Hoes" is, broadly speaking, an abbreviation of a word, the more letters you retain, the more correct it is. Since "Hoes" is only two letters shy (an unnecessary letter and an audible letter the lack of which brings us the entire need to abbreviate in the first place) "Hoes" is still the more accurate term. Hence, Snoota is still correct.awwww yeah dig that "Future English Teacher" power!

Rule 4: Respect other people's time and bandwidthIt's a cliché that people today seem to have less time than ever before, even though (or perhaps because) we sleep less and have more labor-saving devices than our grandparents did. When you send email or post to a discussion group, you're taking up other people's time (or hoping to). It's your responsibility to ensure that the time they spend reading your posting isn't wasted.
The word "bandwidth" is sometimes used synonymously with time, but it's really a different thing. Bandwidth is the information-carrying capacity of the wires and channels that connect everyone in cyberspace. There's a limit to the amount of data that any piece of wiring can carry at any given moment -- even a state-of-the-art fiber-optic cable. The word "bandwidth" is also sometimes used to refer to the storage capacity of a host system. When you accidentally post the same note to the same newsgroup five times, you are wasting both time (of the people who check all five copies of the posting) and bandwidth (by sending repetitive information over the wires and requiring it to be stored somewhere).
You are not the center of cyberspace
Presumably, this reminder will be superfluous to most readers. But I include it anyway, because when you're working hard on a project and deeply involved in it, it's easy to forget that other people have concerns other than yours. So don't expect instant responses to all your questions, and don't assume that all readers will agree with -- or care about -- your passionate arguments.
Rules for discussion groups
Rule 4 has a number of implications for discussion group users. Most discussion group readers are already spending too much time sitting at the computer; their significant others, families, and roommates are drumming their fingers, wondering when to serve dinner, while those network maniacs are catching up on the latest way to housebreak a puppy or cook zucchini.
And many news-reading programs are slow, so just opening a posted note or article can take a while. Then the reader has to wade through all the header information to get to the meat of the message. No one is pleased when it turns out not to be worth the t rouble. See "Netiquette for Discussion Groups" on page 65 for detailed rules.
To whom should messages be directed? (Or why "mailing list" could become a dirty word)
In the old days, people made copies with carbon paper. You could only make about five legible copies. So you thought good and hard about who you wanted to send those five copies to.
Today, it's as easy to copy practically anyone on your mail as it is not to. And we sometimes find ourselves copying people almost out of habit. In general, this is rude. People have less time than ever today, precisely because they have so much informati on to absorb. Before you copy people on your messages, ask yourself whether they really need to know. If the answer is no, don't waste their time. If the answer is maybe, think twice before you hit the send key.

Rule 5: Make yourself look good onlineTake advantage of your anonymity
I don't want to give the impression that the net is a cold, cruel place full of people who just can't wait to insult each other. As in the world at large, most people who communicate online just want to be liked. Networks -- particularly discussion groups -- let you reach out to people you'd otherwise never meet. And none of them can see you. You won't be judged by the color of your skin, eyes, or hair, your weight, your age, or your clothing.
You will, however, be judged by the quality of your writing. For most people who choose to communicate online, this is an advantage; if they didn't enjoy using the written word, they wouldn't be there. So spelling and grammar do count.
If you're spending a lot of time on the net and you're shaky in these areas, it's worth brushing up on them. There are plenty of books available, but you'll learn more -- and possibly have more fun -- if you take a course. If you're an older adult , you d on't have to take a "bonehead grammar" course with a bunch of bored teenagers. Instead, look for courses on proofreading and copyediting; they usually cover the basic rules of grammar pretty thoroughly, and they'll be filled with motivated students who ar e there because they want to be. Check your local community college and university extension catalogs -- you'll be amazed at what they offer. A side benefit is that taking courses involves meeting people you can actually see.
Know what you're talking about and make sense
Pay attention to the content of your writing. Be sure you know what you're talking about -- when you see yourself writing "it's my understanding that" or "I believe it's the case," ask yourself whether you really want to post this note before checking you r facts. Bad information propagates like wildfire on the net. And once it's been through two or three iterations, you get the same distortion effect as in the party game "Operator": Whatever you originally said may be unrecognizable. (Of course, you could take this as a reason not to worry about the accuracy of your postings. But you're only responsible for what you post yourself, not for what anyone else does with it.)
In addition, make sure your notes are clear and logical. It's perfectly possible to write a paragraph that contains no errors in grammar or spelling, but still makes no sense whatsoever. This is most likely to happen when you're trying to impress someone by using a lot of long words that you don't really understand yourself. Trust me -- no one worth impressing will be impressed. It's better to keep it simple.
Don't post flame-bait
Finally, be pleasant and polite. Don't use offensive language, and don't be confrontational for the sake of confrontation.
Q. Is swearing acceptable on the net?
Only in those areas where sewage is considered an art form, e.g., the USENET newsgroup alt.tasteless. Usually, if you feel that cursing in some form is required, it's preferable to use amusing euphemisms like "effing" and "sugar." You may also use the cla ssic asterisk filler -- for example, s***. The archness is somehow appropriate to the net, and you avoid offending anyone needlessly. And everyone will know exactly what you mean.
