Or, if you absolutely positively must stay, keep your incoherent stupid trash out of other people's threads.

PS - I don't read the posts either.

--------------------

It's this way sometimes in early fall. I remember feeling cool feelings of cool blended with melancholies. For example, once long ago when I was less years of age than 20, living with the one "girlfriend" ever I did, and she was gone, and I was listening to 'feast' morning dawning or something, and then a call came to the apartment that the sister girls had been in a wreck and thrown from their car, so I dressed and went to the hospital and saw them - for a moment - in the emergency room and Angie was having a piece of glass removed from between her toes. I think Kim had driven into a large piece of ice.

But I had such nice hair then and was wealthy enough to simply dress and drive over. They could have died.

Well I'm off today. It's a day for me here in charleston. I don't like charleston at all.

Yesterday was a good idea about cash. Though at the new job I'm making 7/hour (gets a raise in one month to 7.5) I do get to have $1 for each full-priced ticket sold and .50 for each discounted ticket. So kept down was I by cpcc.com that I had no idea what it felt like to work in the "stand" (not the "zone" anymore) and get $80 in commission, to take home as cash. So cash total that's a $140 day and things are looking up, I mean it's not the horribly slow season anymore, it's going to be good until Christmas. That's with no overtime too - only an 8 hour day...

Whewahhh. So I'm not alone here anymore there's another person at the computer bank in the hostel, where I live. I'm making an attempt at saving up enough to buy the firebird (even if I have to bid on a decal) and a new laptop... and then hopefully if I can stay here I can use the laptop on my 2 days off (like the next 2 days) to write write write so I won't be so intelligent about this intelligent life I'm living.

I'm going to get some food. The mosquito bites are itching painfully, one on a finger knuckle, some on the top of my foot, so itchy. huge puffy. yellowish.

What do you think? Dallas, Chicago, trips to Montreal, or just back to Prague after Dallas, and then eventually France?
I'd looked up info about him, he's alive still (I hope) he's got to be in his sixties now, and I guess the greatest dream come true would be to see a painting by Boris Vallejo of the scene I'm discovering how to reveal to the imagination.

Comes from Peru and was very inspiring to me as a child - he's very worked as a sci-fi bookcover artist. My mother was a reader of the Edgar Rice Burroughs "Tarzan" books and also "John Carter" books about "Pellucidar" - well so I like his style a lot.

Keep a blog on some other site and link to it in your sig. That would be just dandy. That way whoever here cares can bookmark it. And no that doesn't mean you need to post more nonsense here just so your sig can pimp your blog.

I expect a nonsense post as a reply, in which case you should just be banned.

Also please don't act like you don't mind him posting as long as it's not in other peoples threads. In fact you said that nobody cares and to go away. I find that amusing since you never post here anyway. He contibutes way more here than you do.

Also I could not find a single thread started by someone else with a specific topic that he posted in. I noticed two threads where someone said hi and he replied back (in his style of posting) to them but other than that I only see him posting in his own threads.

Of course if you could point out the threads you are talking about I would appreciate it.

I wonder if his statement was a true reflection of the puppet master or Mr. Harris?

I think we need some Admin assistance to try and track the culprit down. C'mon admin, publish his IP! (and that of every other regular poster while you're at it)

No doubt, lol... but I was laughing at the general conversation in this thread. Also, something Mr. Harris wrote hit me in the funny bone. I'm not sure it was even meant to be funny. It was: "But I had such nice hair then and was wealthy enough to simply dress and drive over. They could have died."

Or it could be that my posts are just ignored. No biggie, if people don't find what I say to be interesting, at least I'm relevant to the topic at hand, unlike the following:

Redlemons recent post, no mention of Harris until his out of the blue post, with no relation to the topic.

aitRus' recent post, same deal as the above.

*shrug* Might be a valid arguement for this one since at least part of his post could be construed as a response to the previous, but I don't see how it's relevant.

...

Well ok, I could only find three good examples, and his pointless threads do generate a significantly higher response rate than mine, so I guess I'll just shut my mouth then.

If I wanted to have a higher recent post count, I could just as easily cut and paste from some random work of fiction and spatter it all over the board too. In fact, let's all do that and see if anyone bothers reading the board anymore.

If he started a thread titled "Here's some of my fiction, what do you guys think." or "A diary entry I wanted to share." or something, then it would be different. That would be interaction, but tossing bits and pieces of a story in random threads is not.

You mean like this:

The squeaking of a rusted pulley, accompanied by the pressure of his widening jaws, awakened Serengeti to Nightmare #2.

He opened his nightmare eyes to the wet popping sound of dislocating joints. He saw the demon release the handwheel and kneel down to test the tension on the steel wires that ran from his jawbone and teeth up to the skeleton's spine hanging from the chandelier above the bed. Through tears of pain, Serengeti watched the demon pluck a steel string on the makeshift harpsichord and smile wickedly at him as a sound that can only come from a nightmare mind filled the concert hall, resonating through Serengeti's tightly gripped skull.

With nary a ripple, the sound of the harp ceased once meeting the surface of the grinning demon's eyes.

Another demon, smaller than the tuning demon, scurried across the ceiling to make minute adjustments to the spine. Serengeti listened to lead crystals clink against one another as the chandelier tilted under the demon's weight. He felt his head being pulled tight against the nail-studded harness, which cut deeper into his forehead as the hanging demon and tuning demon continued to fine-tune their harp. The audience waited impatiently and occasionally nipped at one another as they sat in bleachers made of bone surrounding the bed.

In one corner of the granite room sat a pristine and gleaming Wurlitzer jukebox with blood bubbling and churning through its shiny glass tubing. Behind the glass cover protecting the turntable and needle mechanism, a human hand held a vinyl record, awaiting the demon conductor who paced back and forth in a small hole carved in the granite floor beneath the bed. The Conductor's Hole, a noble and grand darkness occupied by demons of only the highest musical genius.

Serengeti's bed lifted from the floor several times, registering the demon conductor's agitated intent to perform. The audience began clicking and scraping their black talons along the granite, signifying their growing lust for performance as the tuning demons nervously adjusted the steel wires once again.

Serengeti watched the hanging demon move two steel wires over to another vertebrae, blood from his harnessed forehead poured into his eyes, blurring his vision as the tuning continued and the tightening increased. The tuning demon bent forward and licked the blood away so that Serengeti could continue to witness the demon-tuning and fuel its tonal balance with adequate fear.

The audience clawed, the audience roared.

Serengeti wanted to scream, but the demon conductor beneath the bed held fast to his spine with sharp claws piercing the mattress, controlling his body, controlling his mind. The demon conductor would decide when Serengeti would scream.

The genius of music knew its instrument well.

With the steel wires tuned and taunt, the demon tuners moved quickly to the sides of the bed and knelt before their master at eye level, beckoning it to come forth and perform.

The audience fell silent as the first black arm appeared. Claws dug deep into the oak frame of the bed as the demon conductor pulled itself out from its cherished hole. In the conductor's right hand, it held a bone staff with razors criss-crossing the tip. It raised the staff above its head and slowly turned in a full circle, paying due respect to its audience. Then it pointed at the jukebox with one black claw, and the human hand slowly lowered the record and positioned the needle.

The concert began.

The conductor played its instrument in unison with the human recording of "It's A Small World After All." Serengeti's musical screams enchanted the enthralled audience, enticed by the conductor's perfect plectra of pain. With a sharp claw, the conductor dug deep into Serengeti's intestines to achieve desired pitch as it strummed the harpsichord with precise note-for-note demonic perfection. Changing pain balance with an occaisonal brush of the staff across face, chest and groin, the conductor and Paul left the audience wanting more as the record began skipping at its vinyl end.

With the sounds of scratching, popping vinyl and moans of human agony filling the concert hall, the conductor decided to give its audience an encore. It motioned to the jukebox and, standing patiently by the bed as the hand flipped the record over, waited to perform Nightmare #1 again before the instrument expired.

The audience clawed, the audience roared.

I was just pointing out a few things. Out of your three examples I already pointed out the two threads where he responded (in his own way) to aitrus and lemonreds's threads that were just 'hi guys'. That is his way of saying hi. It's hard to explain.

Jonathan Harris is actually a real person and although weird he means no harm. It's not his style to respond to people although he has done this on rare occasion. He is a bit insane so that may explain why some of his writing makes no sense. He is writing a book called "Vague Value" which he often discusses here but what you are reading here is not the book but rather his diary. Cyborg is the one that first pointed this out.

Believe me you guys do not want him to interact with you and it's best that he not partake.

I can explain more but is there really any reason?

If you guys want him to stick to one or two of his own threads then fine I can ask him to do that.

JH are you reading this?

If the majority of you guys want him to leave here I can ask that too. Well if enough people ask him to leave I think he will.

As far as Flux or even you Ser wanting him to change his ways, I doubt that could happen.

he is

Nah, I know better than that. After all, I did 'attend' your wedding ;-)

I guess I just don't see the logic in JH's style, but who am I to criticize someone's style? That said, if the majority of the people don't 'get it', so to speak, maybe a different method of getting the point across would work better, assuming that the intent is to interact at all, which it doesn't appear to be... which I don't understand, what with the whole point of a messageboard being to interact with people...

Anyway, I can't see a way for me to continue this discussion without coming off as a jackass myself, because now JH has been painted as a misunderstood artist instead of the forum troll that I took him for.

Cac - cut it out. pseudonyms are fun to use (i have one or two, but not here), but we like to interact with people. we like to talk about hardware and games and (ugh) politics. its not fun to be talked to with no coherent response.

why post that stuff if the only replies you get are negative ones asking you to stop? i haven't seen anyone say "hey, this is cool" or "i like reading this" until now, and it was only mute who said as much. unfortunately i'm not one of them, or i'd be sticking up for it right now.

as creative as it is, i don't think this is the right place for it. maybe there's a better place to get the thoughts out.

What is up with that? I've been here for over 5 years, and out of all the forums I have posted at, I like this one the most. Almost anything goes. A lot of us are odd that way. We post weird and sometimes unconventional shite, and we like to read the same. I do. None of us ever keep a thread on topic for more than a few posts anyway, and that's okay. Chaos is more fun. Chill, and just let it be.

--------------------

BUT like Cac it is all good, don't sweat the small stuff, crazy wandering artists should be allowed to do what they do as long as they are not hurting anyone.

I don't know. Sometimes I want to sue Jonathan Harris for inflicting severe eye-strain on me with his long posts and sometimes unconventional phrasing that make me have to re-scan sentences. Cac, can you create a lawyer character to represent my claim for me?
