Hell ya. How can anybody do that. Obviously they do not like coffee if they dilute it to the point you cannot taste the coffee.


I guess all they really want is to drink sweetened milk and the caffeine is an excuse?



I can sort of understand why someone would dilute hot brewed coffee though.

If I had any complaints about it myself it would be that hot brewed; instant, pre-ground, self-ground, or even pods; always has at least some acidity and bitterness.

That's why I prefer cold brewed if it's an option.

Cynic!


When you've just been grazed by multiple shards of shrapnel from the death throes of a sarcasm meter you tend to get a little acerbic, sorry.



I feel much better now that the neosporin and bandaids have been applied.

No more talk of sickening crap. Everything from me will be pink unicorns and gummy bears from now on. I'm committed to being a kinder gentler Iron Chink.


**SPROOOING!**



Huh.

I've seen sarcasm meters melt, and I've seen sarcasm meters explode, but this is the first time I've seen one do both at the same time.

Does she still crow about all the screenshots of nothing important that she took when she got access to the "Knights" section of the KOF forum?

I'll bet she does.


yep... I stashed ALL EBs posts in my secret batcave...


Oh. Hey.

I only miss certain people from Alt.flame who had very unique writing styles and who were very entertaining.


2-Belo's epic takedown of Maryanne Kehoe was a thing of beauty.

The Stainless Steel Moviegoer was a fun read, as was Checkmate and others whose nyms I can no longer recall off the top of my head.



Although they could be entertaining I don't miss the cascades, alt-caps, and other nonsense.



Some of the ASCII art was entertaining as well.

Quote from: iron horse jockeyI didn't know she did chops. I knew Blazor did. I know caskur does too, but I don't get along with her, so I can't ask her to do a chop or two of me.

I don't want to make it weird by hyping up cw_'s chops too much but I could if I wanted to. LoL

Poppy's contribution to the Flame archive is too long (10,410 chars whereas only 10,000 are allowed) to be included in one post.



Sorry.

They had a KOF hall of flame and there was maybe 3 flames in it.


Closer to 50 and wasn't one of them yours (posting as "fluffymeows")?

You ungrateful twat. LoL

Wasn't Caskur in KOF then she demanded they kick her out because she was so embarrassed by it?


Caskur was "included" near the end when Riotgear and his collaborators were intentionally fucking everything up for shits and giggles.

She was a mere tool, but worked well for that purpose.

Nothing says "this is shite" like making Caskur an insider.

I'll bet she does.

You guys were in Acronym Finder?  I didn't know you were famous.

You can probably thank Obi/ThWAP for that... it's the kind of thing he'd do.

Okay the genesis of the KOF phenomenon is sort of funny, so:



A bunch of us had been aggressively moshing around in a newsgroup (w.katzenjammer).



Behind the scenes, in email, we began communicating and discovered that we actually liked each other.



One day a fellow who went by Riotgear in the newsgroup declared that we were like digital knights, and in fact whether we liked it or not we were all part of something called "Order Of The Illustrious Katzenjammer Knights Of Fire".



Like most everything else we did in public we took it to absurd levels... knight/medieval themed avatars and signatures, etc.



The reactions we got made it all worth it and provided much amusement.



"OOTIKKOF" eventually became "OOTIKOF" when a fair number of us no longer posted in or even had access to the MSNTV katzenjammer newsgroup.



...and that's about it, really.

I only read the archives, I doubt anyone posts in alt.flame anymore except viagra bots.


I checked and my eternal-september account still worked.

When I downloaded the headers for alt.flame it fetched less than 200 articles, almost entirely spam and fruitcakes.



In 2022 there have only been about a half-dozen posts, according to eternal-september.



*sigh*
