Ah huh haa haaaaeeeyaaa..

I know this....much is true.

I've just checked through the QOTW and you are spot on.

They had been on a bit of a roll recently with some decent ones, matter of time before it collapsed round our ankles like a house of cards...made out of particularly flimsy cards...next to a deskfan...during an earthquake.

hey ho, I'm not going to let anything spoil my day.

happy days

Thanks Pooflake

Well, since we've got a specific thread for it...
I've going to reprise my grump from the tail end of last night's HSH thread, beacause it was a good rant and the subject deserves it:

"Meh...

I think I've read about as much as I can take of the new QOTW. I've only got a limited tolerance for (what I tend to see as) short term nostalgia, especially over whatever pieces of plastic people pestered their parents into procuring for the purposes of prepubescent peace (although I do however quite enjoy alliteration).

Star wars Toys. Power Rangers, Transformers, Mighty Fucking Max? Fine, they were an essential piece of your childhood, but unless you happen to have saved some pristine packaged pieces (and if so - why? I thought you were supposed to be a child), keep one or two pieces which was special to you and toss the rest.

Sure, I've got a nostalgia box (Ok, and a few othe treasured things scattered around the houe) - but it's one box, and it will get opened up in 10 or 20 years or me to relive my youth then.

To all of you toy hoarders? Just fucking grow up will you.

*Grumps*"

I've just posted on the qotw
that if you have something that is valuable, sentimentally or otherwise. don't fucking abandon it to a bin bag or a box at your parents' house when you move out.

that's just stupid and asking for it to be thrown away

Here fucking here!
I will be posting soon. I hope to buck the trend a little bit!

Agreed
I'm hoping chthonic's mother throws the bloody qotw in the bin.
I can't even think of a crap pun for it.

Yeah
The cellotape question PJM was joking about would actually have been more amusing than this.
( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Fri 15 Aug 2008, 9:53, Reply)

indeed it would
at least with the favourite film/book questions we could get some new reading or watching material out of it, as well as the occasional decent story. most of this one is dross

there are a couple of good ones already though

^GB
Sometimes reality is more disappointing than satire.

If I read another story about "My evil, abusing mother threw out Han Solo AND Boba Fett. How could she do that to me? I'll never forgive her!!!!" then I'll probably have a hissy fit.

All of a sudden, QOTW is deluged by somethingteens, all lamenting or celebrating the loss of something trivial in three badly written sentences.

Pooflake, chickenlady, DiT, PoD, Rakky, Legless, Kaol, Davros & Tourettes (plus anyone else I may have inadvertantly neglected to list, pending QOTW rage): Your adoring public needs you.

I've resorted
to reading old QOTWs. I have a strict no work before 1030 rule
( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Fri 15 Aug 2008, 10:02, Reply)

Strap yourselves in ladies and gentlemen...

It is with utmost sorrow that I regret to inform you that I have thought of a shit pun.

If you know what's good for you, you will not visit the QOTW again...

It's just not safe.

Aw, shucks, PJM!
That's a beer with your name written on it at the bash!

no need to include me
I've only written 2 or 3 good stories in about 3 years

I just reply to everything!

CHCB's latest star wars post almost did me in with the laughing

Not sure I should post mine
It's none of the above, and probably quite depressing. But I might have a punt later. This really is a wanky QOTW though eh?

Is it wrong to admit...?

That I am actually enjoying the pisstaking and complaining posts more than the actual relevant ones.

I have lolled more times than usual this morning...but I am in a good mood.
( Pooflake braces for an onslaught..., Fri 15 Aug 2008, 10:29, Reply)

I think it's probably worth sifting through the tat to get to the good ones.
CHCB's post was funny though wasn't it.

I love her dark humour.

I think its a bit close to My Favourite Possessions QOTW
Which was quite recent, so oh well. I do wonder why they dont pick out of the suggestions. Im sure they have their reasons.

Hey, don't knock it.
This QOTW is actually turning out some good stories. Unoriginality is always out there, but there's some great gems this week.

I did try and put my own spin on it

Apart from that, I'm not overly sentimental. I've lost a load of stuff but not really that fussed.

I think a fair few regulars should break out all those 'alternative' accounts we they have and write something entertaining for us all!
