How is it proposed Seinfeld skits are always funnier than anything that was ever on the show?

The formula is the right mix of cheesy and honest, while proposed skits are able to go beyond the cultural mores and limitations of 90s Network TV.

You could also get probated for not punctuating a sentence or forgetting to capitalize something. Let's not pretend all the rules were good.

I have been around in some form since 2004 and I cannot recall a single time when those rules were stringently enforced as anything other than a means to get rid of shitposters and/or people the mods really didn't like.

Bear in mind these rules were also around during a time when SA's population was much greater and GBS in particular was heavy on Newsfeed-style content as link aggregators were nascent at best (i.e: reddit, tumblr, Facebook weren't really things), so there was a fairly strong divide between "comedy" threads and threads about anything else.

Certain posts require a proper tone through correct grammar, though sometimes a post just needs to let its hair down and party!! woo

There's truth here. A lot of the funniest quotes I've seen from SA would not be the same without deliberately awful grammar.

I have a degree in film myself, and amateur film review/criticism is something I've done off and on for a very long time. SMG's breakdowns aren't really all that foreign to the film school circles, there's TONS of guys just like him finding meaning in stuff where it doesn't belong. The funny thing is half the time I actually see what he's talking about completely. My main problem with him is that he's the sort where he then also refuses to listen to other interpretations of things, or well thought out rebuttals. Just "Nope, my interpretation is the ONLY one, and you're an idiot if you disagree."

This is the real problem with SMG. There's nothing really wrong with his gimmick and I enjoy it, I even enjoy the challenge to movies I like because I don't see things through his particular brand of autism. The problem is that he and those who like him (or like fanning the flames around him) quash any possible discussion via sheer force of personality and numbers. It's lame and I'm glad that more of SA is tired of that poo poo.

DNF isn't so much outright bad (although yes, it is a pretty big clunker) as it's just the unfortunate result of over a decade's development slapped together like a horrific collage made by a small child from the bits and pieces of who-knows-how-many different iterations the game went through over the years.

It's not unfortunate at all. Whomever published it snatched up the rights as soon as they were available because they knew it was the definition of "marketing will do all the work" and they were right. The devs were only ever on-contract to patch together whatever existed into a semi-playable state because the entire selling point was never the game itself, it was the novelty of saying "oh hey Duek Nukem Forever finally came out."

Back when I used to ride in Centuries all the time and was riding about 125 miles a week, I was always put to shame by the guy wearing jeans and a yellow rain coat. He would have a milk crate full of groceries bungied to his front handlebars on his comfort bike. He would ride on flat pedals with his heels instead of toes. I'd be completely blown, and he'd be happy as a pig in poo poo just crancking his way up and down the rollers. He's always about 300 lbs too. This dude is riding a Century like it's his daily commute.

This isn't one specific guy either, every single Century I've been in has had that guy. It really emasculates a fellow.

Whatever is faster than you are. Remember, this is a ridiculous person that participates in all such events. All that matters is that this ghost is always faster than you are, no matter how hard you push it or train, he always beats you to the next stop. You could be riding into a 40 mph headwind in the rain, or with the wind at your back and the sun at your face. Either way, he's always just ahead of you and looks like he's have the best day of his life with his stupid goddamn milk crate on the front of his bike.

Meanwhile, you're vomiting into a trash can from pushing so hard. gently caress guys that ride comfort bikes on their heels while wearing a raincoat. Who wears a raincoat on a hot day? Somehow, they always wear one. Why do they have a milk crate? What goes in it? You pass them going 10-20 mph faster than they are, yet somehow they overtake you. These goblins make no sense.
