Time to move along here, so let's choose a winner!

Thanks, all, for some really good posts... but it's left me going back and forth and back and forth and forth and back... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

Some very apt illustrations from Cleglaw -- a picture being worth 1,000 words -- made him a strong contender from the start, but then the thoughtful and sometimes very funny comments quickly levelled the field. Ubereil had some good suggestions about containing the plague of advertisers, and forcing some balance in their blather; Draghermosran matched that with the clever pitch that advertising is really a life-improving force... Kris certainly gets my vote for Advertiser of the Year, and we should all buy into KRISKORP right away before the stock price goes up! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

Kiya's mention that adverts keep us "busy with earning... and yearning" was bang on to the point, and Master Guroth's reminder of uncontaminated places still left in the world was most welcome. Alrik's beautifully expressed image of advert pollution as a loss of innocence was particularly poignant.

Several mentioned the dreadful trend of paying high prices for "designer" clothing and accessories, effectively doing the advertisers' work for them. Plowking was quite right in saying, "They should pay us to wear their crap..."!

And along comes GlanceALot to point out the bad news: that suppression of the advertising blight would destroy civilization as we know it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

But finally, after much pondering, the argument that won out was the one that demonstrated the endless and often nasty cycles of competition and one-upmanship in advertising...

... so the winner is: janggut!

Next topic, please...

Dearest Barta, please forgive a stupid old wizard... I drafted a reply to you on Notepad yesterday, and then forgot to post it (at least I remembered to save...)!

Beards are lamentably uncommon where I live, and for me personally, a beard would simply "not do". But I am very partial to beards and was pleased to find an ava with such an impressive one. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

p.s. never fear, your sense of humour is known and loved by us all. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

advertisments? Beards? ppl?


This is what happens when I'm gone!


But my bloody carpet comes tommorrow! Wait, today! Or something.

Where is Janggut? I whant a new topic <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" />!

So. You wish to argue about where Janggut is?
I say he is in Malaysia.

I'll 2nd that.

, , ,

!!!

&+&=?

Are you guys gonna put up something decent to argue about or just spam crap at each other? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

It's Janggut who's supposed to put a new topic up, but no one know's where he is (exept of Malaysia, but that's a pretty big country).

Übereil

I know where is janggut.
He is in his bed because in Malaysia it is the night.
Then he will take his breakfast and in a few hours he will go at his office.
Only at this moment he will be able to connect to the forum.

Barta who has been a refugee in Malaysia a few months ago

Oh, yeah, spam. I'm deh king.

Something original here.


///

yeah! Uh, nevermind.

/sarcasim off.

yea malaysia is such a beautiful country that i will forgive janggut for being late in our standart! (who said rincewind was a vile flatter? sorry can't remember!)...

so lews you're definitly back... not that i was doubting that anyway... just a chance to say something really <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />...

No need to forgive janggut. It is not his fault for not being connected !
He lives in the jungle with no telephone, no electricity, no water and of course no internet connexion.
There are some pictures of his home in the Pic topic.

People just have to wait for arguing again.

Barta

there is? ohhhh, where? And yes I say that knowing you said in the Pic thread. Though there is two I guess.

Who did you insult? (It must have been someone big and it must have been someTHING big, since you (of all men... erm, whomen...)had to hide. In Malaysia of all places.)



I don't blame Janggut, I blame Rincewind, for picking Janggut. He is just as useless as the carracter he took his name from.
