What are you waiting for?
We've lost it. We had it for a long time and now it's gone. What is it that we've lost: our sense of humor. We've lost the ability to taste, touch, feel, or even recognize humor. We've let the gods of political correctness dictate to us what is humor and what isn't, and they have left us in the dark void of nothingness. As far as they are concerned nothing is funny and any attempt at humor is a sign of "disrespect", "insensitivity", and shows a lack of "compassion"
I know something about humor. I learned it well when I was a young one. I was abandoned by my natural parents, who divorced and left me in the US while they went back to the old country. Being without a family, up for adoption with no prospects made me an easy target for the other kids. Kids were more brutal then, but in their brutality I learned to deflect their harsh words with humor. I learned the meaning of the phrase:"Sticks and stones my break my bones, but names will never hurt me. When I die, you will cry for all the names you called me". I learned the subtle art of sarcasm and the skill of quick retort. As I grew older, cynicism was added to the repertoire especially when it came to looking at the world around me.
As I look around me, especially on Fubar, I begin to realize that I may be a dinosaur, a dying breed. A relic of a time, long ago, when we laughed at ourselves and each other. A day when people had thicker skins and knew that words had no power over them. A time when:"names could never hurt us"...So sad, so sad......
I'm sure if you ask anyone who lives on this site what the trouble with Fubar is they can probably give you a long, long list. They'll tell you there is way too much drama, the bouncers are a hassle, etc., etc. For the most part tho, I cant complain. Fubar is a lot more interesting than MySpace and a lot more fun than Facebook.
If i had one complaint it would be the restriction of the sizes of graphics a person can upload: it's no more than 1MB. That pretty well covers most JPEG photos, but it destroys morphs and animation pics. Take for example this photo:
Not too shabby, if i say so myself!!! And i can say that cuz I created it for , hopefully, a good friend of mine, Sunsetbeauty. Tis a beautiful ting, aint it? And the morph's not too shabby either, LOL. But because this file sits at 1.67 KB it wont work on Fubar. Fubar will drop enough frames to make it fit and in doing so will ruin the morph. So instead of her getting a real nice one, Sunset has to settle for this 947 KB pic:
Still not too shabby, but not as good as the original.
I know that this site probably cost a small fortune to run and the Fubar management probably isnt making a small fortune on it, but maybe, if we all yell loud enough, they might break down and get a server than can handle, lets say, maybe, 2-3 MB.
...which brings me to Fubar insanity. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, i guess you didn't read "MUMMS and Fubar insanity pt.1". Anywhoo, as I drive up and down the roads of the Fubar community, I'm seeing a lot of "For Sale" signs. People are packing it up and moving out. The reasons why break down into two areas: the bar tab change and too much drama.
Now, I cant understand what the fuss is about the bar tab. Mine tells me what i need to know. It tells my what my friends are doing to me, what they are doing to other people and what they are doing to themselves. I don't need to know what anyone else is doing. I'm not nosy and I don't care.See the thing is no one can tell me what the problem with the bar tab is. In the end, it always comes down too "Well, I just don't like the change". Get over it, deal with it. Change works in both underwear and Fubar. If'n you don't like the change, don't let it get too you. Theres more than enuff around the community to help you get over the bar tab change shock.
The next problem is alittle more difficult to solve and harder to ignore: drama. My sainted Irish mother use to say (usually after a few nips on the whiskey bottle)that as long as there were two people left on the face of the earth, they would both try to kill each other. We just find it hard to get along. Fubar is no different than your work, home or anywhere else. Your always gonna find someone who rubs you the wrong way. The best thing to do is just ignore them, and if that doesn't work, pass their name to the management. The last thing the management wants is problem children, cuz having problem children creates bad publicity, which no site needs or wants. Theres no need to get yourself all worked up over drama queens. They just ain't worth it and its certainly not worth leaving over. Stay and fight the drama queens!!! Thats the only way we are ever gonna get rid of them!!!
There is one thing that I do find a little annoying. A friend brought it up the other day. She said she rated, commented, and fanned a packfull of newbies, and only had a handful of return rates and fans back. This tells me that the lack of proper etiquette on the part of newbies falls directly back to poor sponsorship. Theres more to being a good sponsor than taking the points new people signing up underneath you bring. You need to make sure your new charges are properly brought up to speed on how to operate here. To be perfectly honest, no one likes to take the time to rate, comment, and fan someone, only to be ignored.
Well, thats pretty much all I had on my mind today. Maybe some things I said made some sense, made some difference, if not, then, hopefully, it amused you. Crawling back into my cave....
Is it just me, or has the quality of MUMMS really gone downhill lately??? Oh we have the usual good ones, "Shaved vs. Unshaved", "Oral vs. Anal" but the rest of them look more like commentaries that actual MUMMS. Sometimes it seems like people are really stretching to make an actual question up, one thats worth voting on.
As long as we are on the subjects, guess i'll weigh in on the two above mentioned MUMMS:
"SHAVED or UNSHAVEN"??? Gotta go with unshaven. Its an age thing. When i first started my sex career, there was only unshaven.(Heck, we were having a good night if we found a girl who shaved her armpits.) A woman's hairy bush was considered her crowning achievement, like the hair on her head. And it helped us to spot the real blonds from the wanna be dyed blonds. It also gave a little variety to the lower half. Frankly speaking all shaved ones look alike. I know some guys get turned off by the smells they hide, but body smells are part of natures pheromone process. But to each his own. I vote "Unshaven".
As far as "ORAL vs. ANAL", i gotta go with oral. I've only had the anal experience twice in my life, not hard to believe if you knew my generation. Well, three times if you count when I was seventeen and had this sweet young thing in the backseat of my '69 Chevelle. I was dutifully performing oral sex on her when my tongue slipped and ended up between her butt cheeks. When the sensation hit her, she jumped up, grabbed her clothes, slapped me in the face, called me a "perverted monster'. ran out of the car, and never spoked to me again. Pity, cuz she really did have a nice, sweet, ass!!! Fortunately for me I found out she was the exception, not the rule and many women like a good rim job which cannot be said about anal sex. Both times, working with my lovers, I found out that there is simply not enough lubrication in this world that will turn an exit door into an entrance door. Didnt need a rocket scientist to tell me it was really hurting them. So that ended my anal career. And thats why I gotta vote for "ORAL".
Well, I guess I kinda went off on a tangent. Didnt really get to the Fubar insanity part. But its my blog and I'll write what I want, and it only means I gotta do another one....
Ok, so here how it goes: this morning, during happy hour, i was out trolling the new members looking for a fresh victim to R/F/A. I found someone who looked interesting so I did the Fubar dance. After I left her profile to move on the shout box went insane. It was her. We exchange the usual idle chit chat, then things got a little naughty.
Her first mistake was she told me I, the old wolf, was sexy. I'm a lot of things:I'm lewd, crude, socially unacceptable, and meaner than a snake, but I am not or never have been sexy. It just aint happenin!!!! Just when she said that the hair on the back of my neck stood up, awaiting the inevitable pitch. I wasnt disappointed. Her pitch was that she wanted me to whip out my VISA card and get her set up on certain sites so she could show off her body. My reward: all the nude pics of her I could handle.
Whoa, whoa, back up the horse, sister!!! I'm 52 yrs old. I have seen and been with a naked woman in those years. In fact, many naked women. I have touched, tasted, felt, smelled, and left my wolf-juice in many a naked woman. I have inhaled enough female anal gas to be declared a walking hazardous waste dump. I've done naked. If you think that some digital pic of you is gonna get the old wolf hard and happy and make him whip out his VISA,,,ur mistaken. I know I've told some ladies around here that I was looking at their pics and furiously masturbating, but I lied. I was prolly looking at their pics and making a tag in Paint Shop Pro. I lied. So sue me!!!!
So it goes. Fubar has joined the ranks of community chat places that have been infiltrated by scammers. I use to have an account with My Space till I dumped it a year ago. My Space had a rash of scammers from the Nigerian scammers to the "sweet young thing" scammers. The way the latter one worked is that you would get a friend request from a sweet young thing, likely about 18-21. Click on her profile and she was the all-American college girl who loved Mom, apple pie and Elvis, ohhhh and btw, she had these naughty pics of herself that My Space wouldnt let her show so if you clicked on this link and whipped out ur VISA card, you could see more of her than her boyfriend did...assuming of course if she really ever existed. The end came for me when I clicked on my mailbox one day and found 10 such requests. The pictures were of different girls, but the profile was exactly the same for each one. I deleted my account. Got back into it recently and it looks like My Space did something about it. Now theres only spammers in there....
As Fubars reputation spreads theres going to be an increased amount of scammers coming in. It is inevitable. The question is how Baby J and the crew will handle it. As far as my "friend" from this morning: well, after I gently told her how she could post her naughty pics on Fubar, I never heard from her again. Not too worry though. I'm sure she found someone. Some poor schmuck who works at McDonald's, lives in his parents basement, who sits in front of his computer with his sister's panties on his head, someone more the willing to max out his VISA card for nude pics of this woman. As the great showman P.T.Barnum once quipped: "There's a sucker born every minute"...
Ok so heres the deal: it's been raining here for 4 days straight. In fact, by the time I'm finished with this blog, my cave may have moved 3 miles down the road. On top of that the temperature is falling. We wont have snow. That junk has been reserved for yu godless yankees up north. We here down south only get the best Mother Nature has to offer. Of course, Mother Nature is a woman and as such occasionally goes PMS even down here. Which has been the case as of late.
Anyway, if I happen to be talking to you on a shout and you lose me, hang in there. As soon as my cave stops moving, I'll get back to you.
