*EDIT*

My fun parody is on a blog that isn't around anymore, so edited out my "Day in the Life of a 40k Pro." *sigh*


*EDIT* And this Youtube Rap is for all the noobs out there that get owned: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL2HAwZ6fzM&feature=related


Also, if you have any questions that you'd like to address to a 40k professional, drop them in this thread and I'll return correspondence when time avails itself.

It was funny and was satire, but I know this won't end well.

Then we'll make fun of the people too stupid to get the joke.

What if, hypothetically speaking, there was someone who got the joke but still thought it was asinine?

Just for the sake of discussion, of course.

I had written a long reply to the bat rep thread about this, but edited it away because I'm trying not to be negative.

I get what you're trying to do, Dash, but it falls flat a lot of the time.

If someone else brings up rankingshq, it would have been different, but it looks like AH'ing when you do it. Especially when you post it in the Bat Rep and then create a whole new thread for it.

Just saying. This is the kind of stuff that gets to people. You need to go back to basics and not sensationalizing (even in satire). It comes across wrong on the interwebs.

Well, hopefully that hypothetical person would realize that if they don't have anything useful to say, then there's no need to say anything.

See, now I get to make fun of you, right?

You're welcome not to share my sense of humor. It happens. I live life and have a fun time doing it, and if you haven't figured out by now.....I don't care if other people don't want to take part in the ride. I don't care what you think I should post on the internet, how I should play my games, what I should do with my time - everyone is different, approaches things a little differently, and takes pleasure in different things.

Celebrate our differences, don't try forcing conformity!

Useful is a subjective term.

Thankfully I enjoyed your link immensely. Up until the poop bit. You dont have to work blue, Dash. You're better than that.

Fair enough; do what you would like.

Just don't get butt-hurt or surprised when people take it poorly.

Words fail me

I was going to attack you for self-promotion and call you an elitist err... blank... but then I actually bothered to read the link.

Amusing, good sir... amusing... particularly liked the implication that you live in your mother's basement.

No nention of your special diet

Dash, you should get Sponsored! Get some Pepsi logos, Coke, Mobil 1, GW, (IP HAMMERED)!

There is only one sponsor DoP would accept, and if you really knew him, you would know it already.

For those too lame to know:

Fix'd.

I assess the risk of Dash giving a gak as: Low

Anyway, I LOL'd. I like it when people mock the internet and those who think it matters. Sometimes I forget it doesn't matter, and stuff like tihs helps me remember.

Yeah....anyone who can read this and take offense at something clearly funny is someone who's thought processes are so screwed up that I couldn't care less what they think anyway. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!!

And I *did* forget to add something about Captain Morgan in there. :( Although its not part of the daily training routine, only a tournament requirement.

I wonder why? <Passes Dash the 16th bottle today>

Remember when you were so excited about building your DE army? It was infectious.

So Dash, you are technically at the top of the pile?

What do you do now?

I Lol'ed a few times well reading this.

Good Job!

Now I'm going to write a book about how to be a 40k winner, publish it and cash in on my celebrity status!

Something along the lines of this:

Dash, I love your sensationalism. The fact that it does get to people is a solid sign you should keep it up.

I enjoy sharing bits of my life from time to time. Usually the funny parts.

I mean, I wrote and sang (rapped) a fething parody of Vanilla Ice for 40k called Dice Dice Baby. The same people who didn't think that was funny don't and won't think this or anything else I do is funny. The joke is on them, because I'm laughing that they don't get it.

Monster Rain here for example - no laughs. I even started a diary about wanting his tomb spyders. I thought it was clever, he thought it was annoying. Different strokes for different folks.

You may be #1, but you're not "manly"

It was clever, but it was not sensitive to his feelings. Some people can get offended very easily, and others merely shrug off the slings and arrows of every day life.

For instance, I am sure Dash has little problem with internet drama, as he obviously ignores most of it unless it damages his reputation in the context that he believes it insults him and is unfairly biased. If he didn't respond, every time he would go to play a game of 40k with unknown people who clearly know him, it would put him at a disadvantage in terms of having fun and getting people to have fun with him (if they intend to have fun while playing a game).

Where is that all coming from?

I was nothing but polite. I wanted to keep my Spyders, dude. I'm pretty sure I was downright cordial.

To be honest, the only thing I don't get is your obsession with other peoples' opinion of you. I mean, positive or negative you can't get enough attention. I was done with this thread until you brought my name up, but that's my opinion of the whole thing.

Also, I'm pretty sure I said I liked your link, so calm down.

Ha! Single Malt FTW! When you're doing scotch and water you're not messing around, that's for sure. Shame they don't rate a vodka martini. I'd like to see where my drink of choice stands.
