I'm in the middle of a build for a production of "The Producers" and need chase lights for marquee signs. The TD sent me the link with a warning that the site was "a little overstimulating and a little unclear" and asked me if I could get anything useful out of it. This obligated me to spend some quality time staring at the garish colors and blinking lights attempting to parse the bewildering and digressive text.
As far as I can tell, he's attempting to sell used lighting salvaged from carnival machines. The reason I nominate him (and propose the new unit of measurement) is that he put way too many words on the scroll-scroll-scroll vintage 1998 HTML page, but makes it visually irritating so you just want to click away -- and yet he expects to see things with this page, including some kind of web service for selling other crap nobody wants! My favorite text on his page:

Don't you have to actually sell something for it to have a market value? http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showp...postcount=4529

^I was driving to work last week and there was a huge plume of black smoke rising over an area just off the elevated highway. My first thought was "hey there must be an oxygen starved fire going on". Upon driving by, I was shocked to find a raging blaze going in a smallish building near the highway. I've never actually seen a building fire live. It was pretty impressive despite the lack of oxygen. But not serious apparently, although the poor little building was a total loss.

Well, when you consider our somewhat lax adherence to speed limits, and our national pass time of smuggling stuff back from shopping trips in the US*, he's not all that far off.... *The recent increases in the limits we're allowed to bring back without paying duty have really thrown me for a loop. I keep catching myself about to smuggle things I don't even have to smuggle. |

Fart-propelled dragonflies, using the said dragonflies as a scapegoat for everything, hilarious absurdity in general, bizarre logic, unidentified sky objects are gigantic fart-powered dragonflies, and a hilarious drawing (post 126).
http://www.internationalskeptics.com...d.php?t=266378 I personally don't think it's satire, although there is the old adage "sufficiently advanced satire is indistinguishable from the rantings of a woo". Never nommed a stundie before, so mods if it's not stundieworth then remove my nomination - thanks! |
