Are you a QOTWer? Do you want to start a thread that isn't a direct answer to the current QOTW? Then this place, gentle poster, is your friend.

What ho, chumlingtons.
Thursday is here, huzzah, huzzah zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I got a little merry last night, via the medium of beer. How fascinating.

My question to you is this: don't you think it's odd that the B3tan who nicked my username used it to suggest a perfectly innocuous QOTW with it? I find that rather creepy for some reason. I know I keep going on about this but I find it mystifying. I can see why someone would purloin someone's name for piss-taking and parody purposes but to be still using it months later, and no longer even trying to be 'funny' with it, is just downright odd, no?

Alt: Tell us something else which is odd....Me!!! HAHHAA brilliant. Have a rusk, you flipper-limbed flid. You've earnt it.

Yes, it's odd,
but then the whole sock-puppet penomenon is, I can see it being funny for a brief laugh, but to spend days and days being a parrot? OK, I do find that one quite funny, but what does the person behind it get out of it, or the person behind Quentin, assuring he's not actually a total flid, or whoever was behind that LOLarious Rory Lion? I mean it's bad enough having to be a mental deficient, but why on earth would you waste time pretending to be one for more than a brief period?

Alt: The fact that cyclists wear Hi-viz stuff but host bikers don't, I reckon they are less visible naturally because they are lower down and there bikes are less often bright colours, purely anecdotally, more of them get seriously injured and killed by cars than cyclists, is it just because they are too cool? Probably.

I am afraid I am not well enough versed in the history of talk to know of these.
Of the ones we've seen recently:
Personality horse: Dull pointless and ultimately quite annoying
Quentin: mildly amusing some times, a bit dull but no worse than some regular posters
Bollocks Parrot: quite amusing and very good at staying 'in role' but could get old fast.

I'm genuinely not upset by him, when he's being himself I find him tedious and unfunny but not annoying.

I suppose it's the difference between genuine insults and comedically exaggerated internet insults.
