I'm plus/minus on the contests, mostly because of the failure of the MBrenin/Reevolving matchup.

Well that was not a contest. Reevolving asked for a fit battle. Im talking about the Friday "multiplayer" contests, where you can see different variants on a theme.

I didn't see the actual document posted, but I had read that the people who did it posted a file with all the information gathered.

In addition to or instead of the Friday contest? I can do a Monday battle too.

Rule #1 of Fit Fight Club is you NEVER talk about Fit Fight Club!

I think in addition to. The Reevolving battle sure provided a nice mid-week spark.

Call me puritanical if you will, but this is just bad manners. Plain and simple. Admittedly she posed the question with no parameters for her gift, but that's no excuse.

Let's suppose in "real life" someone you didn't know came up to you because you're generally a well put together fella and asked for some good ideas for her boyfriend's birthday. Would a ******* be one of those? Somehow I doubt it. Or at least I hope it wouldn't.

I'm all for salty language and sexual innuendo--just in the right context. And this wasn't one of them.


Same thing happened when a certain female poster first started posting, and of course anyone who criticized the puerile behavior was labelled a "White Knight".

I believe a couple Cap'n save-a-ho's were also thrown around.

While I don't participate because it will take me extra effort to find a suitable picture spot and photographer, I'm glad you started these because it makes MC interesting and worth discussion.

Unlike that fool Bull - he was banned I take it for his unsavory "synopsys" about Foo? Some of the pics he posted were great, but he was just like FNB, being useless most of the time, but even more useless because Bull had nothing else to share, sartorial or otherwise. I think it would have been appropriate to have a Bull-dedicated thread of his picture posting in CE or General Chat. But he was just like a kid with ADD polluting MC threads. Posting pics once in a while would have been fine, but I mean every freakin' thread he clicked on? As you can tell, I don't care for the guy.

He was posting away happily, blissfully unaware that not a soul could read anything he was posting other than himself and the mods. He seriously clocked up something like 300 posts like that. Never even occurred to him that not a single question had been answered, joke had been laughed at nor comment commented upon.

It was beautiful.


What were his aliases? I wonder if I remember any of his postings.

He is a real piece of work (along with the other cronies on FNB).

And why did this only last a couple of months - would have been better if it continued to this day.
