And it only took three posts for the thread to be ruined. Well done.

Whatever happened to rules like “no one-word posts” / “no image only?” #s shouldn’t count as a way out of that rule. Frink gets a hell of a lot of slack. Bit of a cockroach aint’ he?

Jesus dude. It was perfectly on-topic. What ever happened to “no images of a monkey drinking its own piss?”

But nah, I guess using a couple of gifs to answer the OP was the real shitty thing in this thread, huh?

No image-only posts unless the image has a direct bearing on the topic at hand and it adds value to the discussion.

How am I skirting the rule? The images were direct answers to the OP.

Believe it or not I might have just scrolled through the monkey dick because I don’t remember seeing it. I’m so used to all those (unfortunately popular) Harambe memes that if I wasn’t paying close enough attention I could easily write it off as that.

If that’s what was posted, then… yeah. No comparison between dumb .gifs and that. Whoops.

Don’t use people commemorating our Lord and Savior to justify your bs.

I lol’d.

Okay, you have a point, but the Scanners gif is really disturbing to those who don’t know what it’s from.

Understood.

It was like that when I got here, I swear!

This was the implicit yet unmistakable heart of my critique-by-gif.

Huh. Really did not expect Frink being the one coming out of this exchange smelling like monkey pee. Others, sure, but not this one.

Lol, nice. Winner: Darth Id’s Comment of the Week Award.

Give me a break. A Frink-referential “topic,” that should never have been outside Off-Topic in the first place, let alone used as a pretext for breaking express guidelines.
In fact, I didn’t realize it was in the Star Wars subforum until after S’wook exacted his justified moderatorification.

Oh dish, musta missed that rule. My bad.

Tyrphanax said:

…sweet monkey dick.

Oh come on, that makes it sound a lot worse than it actually was. The “dick” isn’t even a salient feature. …It’s all about the drinking its own pee.

[Id. Note: for anyone curious, google “Pitchfork Jet review monkey gif”.]

Careful, draw too much attention to the topic at hand and people might realize the topic was a little silly to begin with.

Are image only responces banned in the star wars pic threads too?

That shouldn’t change anything.

Reason #84 you won’t ever be asked to be a moderator!
