Downfall of an Old Man

You would think that most old men would be out playing with their grandchildren, or possibly trimming their hedges, or just plain enjoying their life after their prime......think again. Check out the playstation 2 newsgroup to see what an old man named Rrevved spends all of his free time doing! Mr Rrevved is spending hours per day in the playstation 2 newsgroup trolling and flaming any credible post anyone makes about the PS2. Yes, this is the same PS2 that is used to play games! games! Rrevved is 50+ years old and has made it his mission in life to spend hours per day in a game console newsgroup. Does he have any interest in purchasing a PS2? No, he has stated so himself.....instead he goes there to act like a child. Sad I guess, kinda feel sorry for him. :(

If that's what he enjoys doing then so what? Some like to do gardening and others like to flame people on usenet. That's his business. -- xyz

The horror! The horror! Next it will be dogs and cats living together... Hey, I'm 52 years old and I spend hours per day in several newsgroups (alt.depends.binaries, rec.bladdercontrol.fetish) ... and most people here in ras probably think all I do is flame and troll. What do you think we should do with these oldsters, Aaron -- turn 'em all into Soylent Green? If you want to feel sorry for someone, start with yourself. Get THAT mess straightened out, and think work outward... Aaron wrote: > Check out the playstation 2 newsgroup...

Oops--didn't notice the crosspost to ras. I HATE crossposting! Jerry Morelock

Pasha-- This moronic obscenity may represent the absolute pinnacle of intelligent discourse in your part of the world, but it ain't the way to go on UseNet, AND it violates the TOS of clara.net (UK and France), SITA.net, and BBNPlanet, as well as this newsgroup's charter.

I'm trying to figure out why people would camp out in front a a store(some in the rain) just to buy some stupid video game...

People did it as investments? That's not a gamble I'd want to take. I've referring to the people who actually WANT the game.

Bruce Kennewell wrote: > > So Sony aren't releasing any more in the USA?!! SONY will release additional PSX2 units strategically to maximize sales for the Christmas feeding frenzy, which pretty much begins with the month of November, peaking on Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving here in the States), and usually running strongly right through Christmas Eve. With Christmas on a Monday this year, the weekend of 12/23-12/24 will likely be a horror show of classic proportions -- the US economy is hot (couldn't tell by *my* bank account...), and people are buying like crazy. I have little doubt that SONY will carefully manage their hype and their inventory of 2s to keep demand and price high. No one's better at this marketing manipulation than SONY. Whether the PSX2 is cutting-edge technology (so-far-vaporware Indrema looks like a much more advanced platform, but what do I know...) or cutting-edge marketing, the fact remains that Junior and Sis are screaming their materialistic little hearts out for them to be under the X-Mas tree OR ELSE, so give-'em-anything-to-shut-'em-up Mom and Pop will turn their wallets inside out to get them. Every year it's something: Cabbage Patch, Beanie Babies, Pokemon... This year it happens to be something with an MSRP of $US300. Don't be looking for any discounts until the President's Day Sales next Spring...

I take offense to that, none of those countries constitute Northern Europe, more like Central Europe, I'm from Northern Europe myself, Norway, which is pretty close to being as far north as you can go and still be in Europe, Iceland and Greenland excepted of course, and I ask not to be associated with people like that thankyouverymuch Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy http://www.theuspits.com http://www.teammirage.com "Mountain climbing, auto racing and bullfighting are the only true sports...all others are games." --Ernest Hemingway--

Didn't notice this before I posted my first reply..... So, you've actually separated us from Europe, which may or may not be a good thing, and lumped us in with the Swedes....? Sacrilege my friend, sacrilege, living next door to a bunch of Volvo/SAAB driving Swedes is bad enough when you're part of a large community such as Europe, but with only the "norse" countries seen as a whole, they constitute a much larger part of the total population of the area, and that can't be good, in fact, I think it's rather horrible.........

I didn't complain about you, as I said to Bruce...couldn't be bothered <G>. You do seem to insight rude responses from the passing pond life though. You really do know how to get up those peoples noses...great 'gift' BTW <G>. As for you breaking any rules, again, couldn't be bothered to check.

Glad to see that you followed the Germanic rule there, Bart. (adding the laughter). Now, whilst on the subject of American place-names and pronunciation, how in hell do you get "Ar-kin-sore" out of "Arkansas"?

Nonsense, it's just the fricken English language in written form. 90% of the flame wars start because some loony didn't get the real tone of the posting. Add to that the many posters using English as a second language, voila, the "whooosh" effect is international. -- l8er ronny Your mouse has moved.

Sorry for being dyslexic. BTW, how often do you go down to your local orthopaedic hospital and laugh at the people in wheel chairs and on crutches? Do you think it's a good idea to *incite the pond life when they stop by? Or is it better to ignore them so that they pass by with more speed? Or do you like to see the use of foul language? I think it lowers the tone when we have threads littered with rude words. I also think you should be ashamed of yourself for blatantly encouraging these sad people to swear and be abusive. Your behaviour may not break any rules that are written down, but you certainly help...at times...to bring this forum into disrepute. Anyway, you judge yourself old son. Now that I'm in your gang you will come to my aid if I get picked on won't you?? Sorry for any spelling, typo, grammatic, bad punctuation or syntax. Cheers Gerry

Unless I possess psychic powers of amazing potency and of which I'm completely unaware, I'm afraid I'm not quite ready to accept responsibility for other people's foul language and/or stupidity. You might note that I don't use that kind of language in my posts, and I can give you the URLs of several ISPs and mail servers who will attest that I don't enjoy that kind of language in the posts of others in this NG, either. > BTW, how often do you go down to your local orthopaedic hospital > and laugh at the people in wheel chairs and on crutches?

You know it's not polite to ridicule someone for messy grammar etc. English may not be their 1st language, or they might even be dyslexic, either way it's not nice to be on the receiving end.
