Well, I’m sure you all think it’s tremendously ‘modern’ and ‘progressive’, and I’m sure I’m no more than a silly old fuddy-duddy stick-in-the-mud, but, speaking for myself, I should infinitely sooner say what I have to say on Ultimate Frisbee than on ILXor, where one might easily meet Robin McKenzie and be rendered unmarriageable forever!
And yes, I am perfectly aware that nobody actually posts on Ultimate Frisbee. For my generation, that sort of thing did not arise until marriage, if at all. Messages? The very idea! You’ll be asking to express your unique personal identity next!

While we are all very fond of the strained oak and tattered sails of HMS Greenspun, there are too many leaks for this crazy boatman to pitch himself to its mast. If we are to reach the land of fine spices and interesting vegetables that is the new world we need a sturdier vessel.
We can still be boarded by random Googlers at Port 80, our crew is anything but skeleton and the rum is exquisite. The sea ahead may look choppy and we are to cross many unmapped waters, but the mainsail is flapping nicely and the pirates are nowhere to be seen.

Xven as we slowly feed like some kind of sick parasite from the digital-lactose of the xuphorically titled ILX, we still yearn for a deeper bitterness, a darker metaphor, or bigger hamper than the next man. With regular evil such as “notorious terrorist Matthew ‘The Hyena’ Fallaize” and with the site now being “administered by a degenerate trisexual, properly clad in skin-tight rubber and a urine-soaked surgical mask”… I really must ask, IS ANYONE SAFE FROM THESE MONSTERS? I certainly wouldn’t want to meet one in an empty thread.
Rehabilitation? Regime change? Who knows where the answer lies, but something must be done to stop these people who are desensitising us to the world around us.
Just the other day I saw an anonymous helpless sea bird, fighting for its right to party, but felt no compassion towards the oil ridden little shit. Instead I proceeded to point and laugh at the creature, mocking it, as if I were but a small spoilt child with a Waitrose Platinum Card. Sickening I know, but almost entirely subconscious. But the pain does not end their....ive started to drink ink, eat clocks, and excrete feathers in some kind of bodily ethical backfire.
Doctors, councillors, psychologists, gather here and tame these vexatious merciless figures who terrorize our families.
