I thought she was great!

Well... not really. She said a lot about them but I caught her in a lot of gross misinformation or misunderstanding, but the kind that a younger person who hadn't grown up with them might have. She claimed for certain that a lot of the intricate, virtuoso guitar solos on Sticky Fingers and Exile belonged to Keith Richards. Just not so, as any source, including liner notes, will tell you. It was all junky Keith could do to keep up straight rhythm guitar much less the jazzy noodling that Mick Taylor was providing. The Stones hired Taylor, in fact, to provide those tasty solos.

When I tried to correct her, she wanted to hear none of it.

ha ha ha-- i didn't know that-- but that sounds just like her!

i found her bullshit & bravado highly entertaining

I did, too. Amusing, and sweet, in her own way.

yes! very much so.

ANYWAY

the forum is on its lung leg

Ha ha. Perfect.

Yeah, but it got kind of lame when it was just a bunch obvious lies and not in the I'm-pulling-your-leg kind way but in the please-like-me-and-think-I'm-cool way.

damn, i missed pillowgate. congrats to her though.

Sorry to correct you but I have never challenged Saturnine about her pregnancy as far as I remember. I was convinced, and I still am, that she wasn't pregnant, but I never voiced my opinion to her in public or in private. If anything, realising what was going on made me more concerned about her mental health because of a long, verifiable history of made up stories she broadcasted on this forum while she still posted. Somehow I liked her a lot anyway and I still do. It's probably a good thing she's not here anymore.

lulz I died. I never wish this on ANYONE....but wow.

actually, the whole pillowgate thing went down slightly different than symbol says. but you know what, im not going to get into it other than to say it boiled down to some jokes that i made in response to trolling by satan. her response was to get angry then leave. quite possibly she is better off for me doing that. maybe not. i dont know. let the past be forgotten.

i didnt mean to annoy her that much or push her off the board. i dont actually give a shit about any of this.

not my finest moment, but then again my whole back catalogue is a wild oscillation between avant cyber bullying, genuine psychotic breaks and madcap comedy capers.

im not going to condemn anyone for simulating, if we abandoned our pretenses to self and truth all together we'd all be a lot happier imo. some people get dogs as practice ffs. whatever.

I love me a pompous internet warrior. I'm going to tattoo this on my chest. This is a comedy capers moment, isn't it?

tattoo my anus onto your back and stub out cigarettes into the hole

How far up you own arse I have to travel before I find the hole. :)

this is the most poetic thing i've ever read on the internet

no need to apologize-- i just remember her fighting nik and you and others during her last days here. but i'm not even going to claim that this memory is in any way accurate. i sort-of-summarized because, shit, i'm not going to go and do some archeological dig of old posts (i might for other things but not for this).

as for the mental health issues i believe she herself declared to have been diagnosed as bipolar. if true, that was probably consistent with her presence here. i have several bipolar friends and they're all different but at some point everyone gets very "intense". i don't mind that.

i really don't know about any made up stories though. i'm not challenging this one way or another, just proclaiming my cluelessness. which is, actually... irrelevant. well there's a waste of a paragraph.


yeah, i sort of summarized/generalized. and yeah i read your old posts and i don't recognize them from who you appear to be today. so i'm glad you made it out of that. it's not the same person at all. now don't let me get all heraclitean.

I understand and I don't want to divulge further. I loved her presence on the forum. RIP Saturnine.

One poster I'd really love to find out how she's doing is Laila. Top ten poster for me.

All I really remember of her were two threads she did. One of them was asking whether Robin Hood was real, to which she got slaughtered for. The other one was her rambling about how great showers were. That last one was just bizarre of her.

Stop hating on laila's robin hood thread yo

I used to wonder if Robin Hood was real when I was 17 too.

Laila was cool. Last I heard from her, years ago, was she was at University somewhere.

And yet you were quick to jump down her throat about it. http://www.sonicyouth.com/gossip/showthread.php?t=3783

Some old names I'd forgotten on there. Atari, King Buzzo et. al.

Never said anything about it!

How? I said "research shit in BOOKS damnit. the Internet does NOT have everything."

and

"Robin Hood is more real than Jesus"

How is that "jumping down her throat?

oh wow, i forgot about that. that's classic. i wonder how atari is doing.

She asked an innocent enough question and that was the best answer you could give?

Ahh Laila, you still live on.

I loved Laila because she was very sincere and held her own, despite that scorn she got on here on a daily basis. The Robin Hood thread was funny. She was lovely, affectionate and sweet. Hopefully she's more grown up now and she does smack instead of internet.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving more negative Reputation points to Genteel Death again.

Yes we all miss Laila, she was like a symbol of the innocence our own internet snarkery has robbed us of

dammit, i hated her for the same reasons you enumerate for liking her-- but from a different perspective. i mean her whole everything ("like me on facebook" etc) striked me as... completely fake or just lunatic.

BUT---that didn't justify my aggression.

in retrospect, i was an asshole that didn't give her the benefit of the doubt. and sure, i didn't have to like her, but i didn't have to attack her either. those were brutal times in syg and i was a part of whatever ate her. i can't undo what i did, but in hindsight i regret my actions. o well. this has been my 2 cents towards the laila virani reparations fund.

6 pages of this shit!! you guys should get some sunshine.

"sos and so destroyed the board, so and so was my fav". jesus!!!

it's just random thoughts people have downloaded here theirselves, if you can call it that, without a care in the world on the wide web.

no biggy.

it's just a message board. some are dead, some are doing alright! I hope.

we tend to throw sarcasm and irony out the window these days like those terms don't exist because...well, I don't know. im old and tired..... back to sunshine. fuck.

this place and others are a straight descent into Parkinson's and Tourettes.

all that excitement and letting nothing else loose with only just fingertips. it's muted, blunted dialog. no wide range of senses. all the other muscles are getting no relieve.

can't be healthy. not to mention the curtain that hids the poker face.

not healthy at all.

what the fuck are you talking about

I never wanted to fuck or breed with the prep school Baptist southern girl. she can burn in hateful homo and zodiac witchcraft piss.

the things they're teaching our kids now in school around here!!! some don't even know their astral sign.

I took my mother out for mothers day and I saw the fruitiest boring looking church going young men I've ever seen in my life eat at a Mexican restaurant, with those played out plaid shorts and that same good ol' boy shaggy haircut. i'll do whatever to make their girlfriends scream and vomit. so gross.

white people these days!!!! they suck and have no style!!!!!

i'll stick with the dumbass crazy tattoo tough bitches because it's my only route to prove.

conservatism is strong and it's multiplying by the day. it's sad and funny.

time to rise hell.

the internet is fine. what's not healthy is to take it for a drinking companion
