Smoke 'em if you gottem!
Isaia lived a humble life separate and alone
One day he received a calling and it wasn't on the phone
It was a spiritual summons, he must now atone-
His mission he was given and the battle plans were shown

Three heroes he had needed, heroes brave and true
Lurkers from another world, just happened to be passing through
The first to answer Isaias call was immediate
New to this universe was named Planet Idiot

Killertunes was also new without history or past,
The second of three Isaia needs (but wasn't yet the last)
The final one to make it done and finalize the three,
RNG appeared as the battle neared and what will be will be.

"I have gathered you here to do a task, but you won't be alone!"
He intoned, "Because you see there has to be a world made up of bones!"
"We must try to calcify the inhabitants of this place!" he cried,
"Make skeletons out of our enemies, all! I shall not be denied!"

Planet Idiot stepped forth, a steely gleam in their eye
"I'll slay our enemies with you where ever they may lie!"
Killertunes slipped into the room and hid quickly from sight
An assassin isn't ever seen or heard and clings the shadows tight

RNG seemed to be from other worlds and forums
Visiting and listening to other's thoughts and quorums.
The Heroes Three were collectively assembled for the fight,
Killertunes was nowhere seen, slipping quickly from our sight.

Isaia said, "Be filled with dread! Your bones we seek this night!"
The stars shined on high as the battle drew nigh and the forums fled in fright.
GBS as one confessed, and Isaia's wrath hit with force,
Their bones were spilled as Isaia's will let the spell run it's course.

The next to flee was FYAD with bones showering their flight,
Games would flee and next D&D took off well into the night.
Planet Idiot went to PYF and posted their fave finishing move,
From the shadows crept killertunes, getting into the groove.

Ask/Tell became a ossius hell, ask me anything and I'll say-
Many butts were turned to bone, on that fateful day!
Isaia held forth his bony hand, and there was a thunderclap,
CPUs were suddenly strewn in Serious Hardware/Software Crap!

IYG and SAS and YLLS were next, as Isaia flexed his ossious hex-
Something Offal soon turned Goons with spoons into calcified nervous wrecks!
Clavicles and humerii and mandibles would fly,
Crankshafts and engines were turned into bone in what was once AI

Pet Island was spared, and well they fared from a calcium fate
The bonestorm moved on to TFR and still would not abate!
TCC was next to be the target of the treacherous three (plus one)
Bongs became bones and tantrums were thrown before the fight was done.

The other forums without decorum soon too were crushed to bone,
RNG and the rest of the three now faced one that stood alone.
Isaia said, his voice filled with dread, "this place is fraught with danger!"
They stood outside where threads had died, the Comedy Gas Chamber

"This place resists the eldritch mists of my mighty spell," he said,
"There's no need to fear this place if you choose to write a new thread."
"RNG and killertunes and Planet Idiot," Isaia said their names with pride
"You battled well and turned to bone all those who'd run and hide."



The victors stood shoulder to shoulder as he fell to the ground,
A light from the sky blinded their eyes and struck Isaia down!
He fell to the ground with a clattering sound into a death-like faint
He looked composed when he soon arose with the countenance of a Saint!

A voice from above said with love, "Isaia you have done well!"
An army of bones awaited as one where the forums fighters fell.
Saint Isaias went off into the night but before he left he'd say,
"To everyone lurking in BYOB, it would be good if you'd all stay!"

This thread is cool and good. After a long absence of SA, GBS seems to have gone to hell, and the entertainment is right here in BYOB. So I guess I am not lurking anymore.

I usually enjoy GBS and GBS is not good at the moment. BYOB is a good place to stop lurking.

although 2016 GBS has been looking better than 2015 GBS so far. the Shmorky/fast food thread, "f-fingerblast this little turd", Dare's spam accounts and subsequent 367-page manifesto, TUH getting perma'd for credit card fraud, and now Caro getting released.

anyhow, welcome Bacon! :wave:

DOPE FIEND KILLA G

i miss old gbs because when someone would make a funny post that wasn't even necessarily trolling or anything people would still get mad, and that was kinda funny in itself. and sometimes there would be a news thread for something i didn't catch in the news myself that would be neat (though the thread itself would be pretty bad a lot of the time.) comedy forums on the Internet are definitely a great place to learn news let me tell you.

it's got some great individual things happening but there aren't too many good times holding all the set pieces together

E: that manifesto is the greatest

i still like getting news from GBS because usually there is someone who knows or lives nearby the source of the story or someone interesting who actually gives you something to think about as opposed to the news on tv or the various crap comments sections on news sites.

the one thing i miss about GBS is that a lot of the creative people were driven out and its rare to find good creative type threads anymore. I didn't mind having the goofy christmas threads or zoo fights threads there even if i wasn't a fan or didn't read them because those goofy types of threads made other people feel like it was ok to go out on a limb and try something different. I can understand why a lot of people just don't feel comfortable even trying to post there anymore but i am thankful for those who do still produce good content and who weathered the storm.

i only started posting on GBS towards the tail end of "no-rules-no-masters" era between GBS 2.0 and 1.9, so i wasn't around for all the creative, artsy threads, which is quite a shame for i do love that sort of content. at least Applewhite consistently makes some pretty great threads.

he's one of the good new posters to come around, yes.

and again, not all the creative threads were necessarily good or funny or worth reading but in my opinion it fostered a better environment for potentially good threads to be posted.

Congrats, Sid! You'll do fine. Don't ever hesitate to ask here if you need help with anything, there's people here from a wide spectrum of life experiences in the 'Yob that can direct you to whatever answers you require. That being said, God bless and good luck with your new human!

Welcome to the 'Yob! Colorado is an awesome state and not just because of Rocky Mountain High, either! Although I can't say it hurts any... Colorado, Washington State and Oregon are all incredibly beautiful states, I've been to all three and loved them all equally!

Alright I'll post a thing here (although I may have posted in this exact thread here once before????). I lurk sometimes, and made a thread about my cats here a few months back, which was fun. I used to post here a lot, like a lot a lot, back in college 6 to 8 years ago. I can't promise you'll see me here regularly but just wanted y'all to know that you're still alright!

Is zuu still around? I remember that name. Welp, see ya later!
