What are YOU doing to make the internet a bitter place?
 
Today, on another message board, I posted this:

I know, right? I mean, how cheap can they be that they've clearly decided to not build the buildings that are in the plans in the blue sky cellar and all over the internet for everyone to see and know just how cheap they are that they aren't building the buildings yet?!? And what about the eateries? Where will have the cone dogs?!? Are they just waiting to see if people will notice, or is it all about the almighty dollar that they've decided to not finish the buildings until people spend money there? Is that why they have all those people asking your opinion at electronica? Because they're considering rethemeing Carsland to Tronland? Cause that would be sooooo cheaping out to just use projections on everything and have it only open at night. I bet that's why they were doing that lighting test on California Screaming!!!

Cheep like a baby chicken.
:evil:

What's a Cone Dog?

Not Afraid 10-24-2010 04:55 PM

Thurston is a Cone Dog.

Give me my pencil!

No, but seriously folks, a cone-dog, and other cone pun on food item names, will be something on the menu at Sally's Cozy Cone Inn in Carsland. Cone on the cob, anyone?

€uroMeinke 10-24-2010 05:57 PM

I don't get it

Yeah, I don't get it either...

Oh, I put out, I just don't swallow......bitter pills. :D

I thought "Cone Dog" was how you're supposed to pronounce Corn Dog in the South.

BarTopDancer 10-24-2010 09:20 PM

I thought cone dog was some new Good Humor ice cream treat.

JWBear 10-24-2010 09:48 PM

I'm conefused.

Gn2Dlnd 10-24-2010 11:56 PM

Oh, yes. I see. Lisa's last name is the same word as the one being used by Imagineering for a motel facade in the fictional town of Radiator Springs, which is the setting for the new Carsland being currently built in DCA. Sally's Cozy Cone Inn is a restaurant themed as giant traffic cones.

"Give me my pencil" was a call-back to a line in another thread. In "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown," Lucy's line, "Give me my pencil" directly follows the line, "What's an enigma?"

Moonliner 10-25-2010 08:24 AM

I see so cars that normally avoid hazard cones and now get a meal in one.

I get it, that's great.

Cadaverous Pallor 10-25-2010 09:08 AM

Getting the joke apparently requires current knowledge of DLR affairs. Too bad I don't have any...

~whoosh~

Alex 10-25-2010 09:19 AM

I have reasonably current knowledge of the parks (though maintaining guide pages, not first hand experience) so I got the cone dog joke. I'm just not sure what the rest of it was about.

Kevy Baby 10-25-2010 09:32 AM

Oh, I just thought the "cone dog" was a typo. Shows how de-loopified I am.

Oh, I was just having fun on another board, by posting a fake, badly written rant about the state of affairs in DCA. I was tweaking them for the over-use of the term "cheap," and the unjustified complaining when actual construction doesn't look exactly like one of many iterations of concept art. I'm particularly proud of the use of the phrase, "Where will have the cone dogs?!?," for its ungrammaticality, and the tagline, "Cheep like a baby chicken." Either one should have been a tip-off that I was just funnin'.

Clearly, the wheel of internet Karma has rolled around pretty swiftly for me on this one. :cheers:

I thought you meant, because you were going to erase the word and re-write it correctly. I laughed out loud, but now I feel cheep and used.

Gn2Dlnd 10-25-2010 01:38 PM

Never, EVER, call yourself cheap.

JWBear 10-25-2010 01:54 PM

Unless you are proud of it.

Gn2Dlnd 10-25-2010 02:29 PM

Cheep.

Like a baby chicken.

Kevy Baby 10-25-2010 07:23 PM

It wasn't until today that I realized that the word in the thread subject was "bitter" and not "better."

I really should pay better attention.

Gn2Dlnd 10-25-2010 08:38 PM

Butter batter.

€uroMeinke 10-25-2010 08:51 PM

So this thread is about bragging about being a troll on another message board?

Gn2Dlnd 10-25-2010 09:51 PM

Yes! Finally someone understands!

(Not really. I mistakenly assumed people here were up on what was going on in DCA, and would find amusement in a little online snark. Don't worry about the folks on the other board, they figured it out fairly quickly, and received it with the humor with which it was intended. I'm not really cut out for internet trollery. I'm far too needy.)

Apparently so - you needed to tell us about it :p

Gn2Dlnd 10-25-2010 09:55 PM

:D I like to share.

Stan4dSteph 10-26-2010 12:34 PM

I got it.

Here I thought I was the only one that misread the title!

I feel better not bitter now. Not that I was bitter before ;)

LSPoorEeyorick 10-26-2010 01:35 PM

Crazy, man. I read "give me my pencil," and though I was not aware of the other thread, suddenly I had "Home on the Range" running through my head. I haven't listened to YAGMCB in years.

On the other hand, I was just reading about Dog Meets God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead. And I want to direct that very much.

Moonliner 10-26-2010 01:36 PM

Oh Pooh.

I wanted to do a bit of stalking and see where the comment that started all this was posted. I was hoping to find the post somewhere more exotic than what I found. You even use the same name there. Takes all the damn fun out of stalking someone.

Gn2Dlnd 10-26-2010 02:49 PM

Like I said, I'm a lousy internet troll!

Disneyphile 10-26-2010 07:21 PM

And, by posting it here too, you're also helping to keep conspiracy theories alive. ;)

Gn2Dlnd 10-27-2010 01:33 AM

Just doing my bit, ma'am.
