# I spent my day off making a miniature Companion Cube.
As it's my companion, I used non-default colours and symbols of my own choosing.

CFB (140kb)

Here's the tutorial I followed if you want to have a go yourself. As you can see, I couldn't be arsed to fanny around with hot glue guns and biscuit sheets, so mine is quite flawed. And here and here are some papercraft versions I found if that's more your thing.

'Ning!

# I invited your best friend, the Companion Cube, but he couldn't come.
Because you murdered him.

# Some people have way too much time on their hands.
I'm not being horrible, but do you really have nothing better to do?

So fuck you.

# I said i wasn't being horrible, and you didn't answer my question.
No need to resort to childish retorts, i thought you, as you're not 10 years old, could maybe respond without being a childish ass. Obviously not.

# "I'm going to claim I'm not being horrible while saying something horrible and condescending anyway."
I did answer your question: I did it because I wanted to and I enjoyed doing it -- had there been something more enjoyable or profitable to do, I would have done that instead. So obviously, no, there wasn't anything I thought better to do. I suggest you pull the pineapple out of your arse and throw yourself off a cliff.

# I think you're pretty pathetic if you think what i said was horrible.
And no, you didn't answer my question, i'm not going to argue because i don't care that much, i asked if you had nothing better to do and i assume these are your thoughts that followed,
"What a horrible bastard, i hate him, fuck him, fuck." Then proceeded to write the first thing which came to mind, and when i highlighted you hadn't answered my question you decided to just be a complete twat about it and dig yourself into a hole trying to justify yourself, oh, and you added a really witty insult on the end aswell, i suggest maybe you take more time to actually read things, learn to not act like a 10 year old and get a job, as you've obviously got far too much time on your hands.

# what an asshole you are
(I helped save b3ta! mr horrible up yours, dickface, Tue 2 Dec 2008, 18:57, archived)
# I do have a job.
As implied by "I spent my day off."

Saying "I'm not being horrible but" or "No offence but" doesn't magically make what follows non-offensive.

I wasn't digging myself into a hole; I was elaborating on a my previous statement which you obviously didn't understand the implications of. I suggest YOU take the time to read things more thoroughly.

# Haha what a clique you seem to be in.
I like how you can all have opinions on anyone else stuff and people respect them.

But as soon as someone not in your clique decides to actually say what they think you all jump in and defend her, maybe you take yourselves a little too seriously?

# it's not cliquism.
I have no idea who Bob Todd is, but to paraphrase you:

I like how you seem to think we can all have opinions on anyone else's stuff and you respect them.

But as soon as someone disagrees with you and calls you on prickish behaviour you jump in and defend yourself with excess prickishness, maybe you're annoyed about something else and internet prickery is your chosen vent?

# Well i wouldn't bite someone's head off for just asking a question, even if it was worded a little patronisingly.
I just think i deserve an opinion, and it doesn't matter to everyone else what it is.

And i'm not a fan of how everyone has jumped in and started having a go at me for no reason, if some people actually read what's happened, it was her who started being a dick.

This isn't directed at you personally, just everyone who's jumped in to defend her by having a go at me.

# I'm going with the crowd on this one.
I think it's fair to say that
"Some people have way too much time on their hands.
I'm not being horrible, but do you really have nothing better to do?"

constitutes the "started being a dick" in this particular case.

# It could have been worded better, but i still stand by what i said.
But i am pleased to see you've actually tried to sort this out a bit.

As opposed to a few others.

It's cheered me up no end on a crap day stuck at work doing urgent stuff for a bunch of bastards with the power to demand the work but not the wit to recognise it's needless.
