My name is Fishy and I'm a Snark.
I've been on this board since 2003 and I just get tired of seeing arrogant young pups saying stupid things, so I say something nasty, hoping to shut them up. Those pups say the same thing over and over anyway. I don't care about djs--I didn't even when I could dance, sorta. I'm not a good joiner, and that loud music overwhelms me; I prefer witty conversation. So, I'm very tempted to be nasty to djs. Especially when they ask for free tickets and act like they're doing me a favor.

I'm young-ish, sometimes arrogant, often say stupid things, and I am hoping waiting wanting you to say something nasty to me.

How the fuck is that helping me surrender to a higher power? You're just trying to tempt me into a snark fest.

Oops, wrong thread! I thought I was at a snark meeting.

I appreciate your snark and the excellent way it is applied! You are a snark doctor. When someone is crying out for snark you are there with a treatment. It may or may not help them but it helps all the rest of us. :D

Fishy, Fishy, Fishy...

I love the snarkiness. And your lucky enough to be able to boot assshats that go over the edge.

Anyways - I almost always Pm the newbies (the ones that i pity anyways) about the snarkiness, and the wit, and dry humor, and banter, and quips.

Ayways - on with the snarkyness.

How could you do that to those poor kids?

Post by lonestoner916 » Wed Jul 09, 2008 9:05 pm

Well I for one am apalled at the mistreatment of those poor DJ's! I mean, they are trying to provide a valuable and useful service to the community here, if they don't play their shitty house music (a variety of shitty house music to boot!) then who will? :cry: They are willing to play CD's and all they ask in return is free tickets, seems more than fair to me... everyone knows there's an enormous DJ shortage at Burning Man!
And then Crypto Fishy has to go and burn them so bad they probably held each other and cried until they fell asleep in each other's arms...

I hope you can find the help you so desperately need, I lost an uncle to Snark, and it wasn't pretty.
:+}

Yep! And if you milk it just right you too could possibly score free tix to BM. Here's some DJ's that are trying just that...

Im DJ Jiggy Dammitt Diggy Dogg, and I bring a big mutant vehicle that seats lots of people, lots of margarita supplies, tools and knowledge and parts to fix shit, and a goddamm sound system and an iPod.
Screw those other DJs! Spend the same amount of cash donating to my fuel fund! I'll play tunes for you AND pour you a frosty margarita AND take you on a cruise on the playa!

In fact, I'll do all that for nuthin'!
Why the fuck would anyone subsidize some freeloading one-trick "DJs"?

Why?
Because it's a mechanical skill!

Maybe they would rather actually play music?


We had quite a few women playing records on the radio stations I've worked on.
One of my favorites would go from Brel to J Airplane and then play some unusual stuff.
I like Black Sabbath played on accordion and viola.
I got a good response to mixing Jan and Dean with the Beatles once.
I won't bore you with the special effects mixes, but I did get a lot of calls from folks too zonked to deal with it, begging me to stop.

They always asked if what they heard was real, first.

You think the netweb is anonymous?
That's so cute.

Better be wireless using an artificial number on your machine or running through randomized servers with anonymizing service if you want to get close.

Anonymous in the sense you can't pat me on the head when you're being condescending :D

Sure there's the problem of the disfunctional yoyos that find entertainment in hacking and snooping but it's nothing a credit card re-issue and a HD reformat can't handle.
