A Noob Intro

Oh, I’m well aware of the grmpysmrf “phenomenon” on this board.

Trust me.

Can’t say I agree with his brand of rhetoric, but we’ll see how we go. I’m not here to rock any boats at the end of the day.

And my favourite Nirvana? Sorry if I sound fanboyish but they are an amazing band with an amazing legacy, each album representing a different piece in their puzzle. It’s hard to go past Nevermind in terms of a “favourite”, though. The production’s insane and musically it’s their most positive and uplifting. In Utero’s a fantastic album but it’s a bit of a grumbling downer compared to its predecessor. It’s almost as if it’s intentionally atonal and difficult. Maybe they did this to spite their fanbase? Yeah probably.

Well, at least you are aware and have observed such idiocy. Rock the boats. They need to be rocked. The stagnant assumption some people have that they are celebrities or important due to being acknowledged on a forum needs to be rocked into the Pacific.

Anyway, enough of that nonsense. In Utero is a downer and way more aggressive compared to Nevermind but that and the production is what make me love it. When the production and sound matches the words and perfectly creates that dirty, miserable, mentally ill vibe it’s great.

I think they did go a bit back to their roots in terms of not being as accessible and being “atonal” on some tracks (pretty clear with the sound and title of “Radio Friendly Unit Shifter”). But it also has some of their best and most accessible pop songs, in my opinion. “All Apologies”, obviosly. But “Serve the Servants” is an overlooked piece of gold. It’s like a fuzzed out, fucked up, Beach Boys track loaded with benzos. And on the other spectrum you have “Milk It” which is dark and dirty in every aspect and conveys the tone perfectly. The lyrics and music are great and really come together as a coherent piece of art on that album.

But to each their own. I can see, due to your explanation, why you yourself would prefer that album over In Utero.

Apparently my dog whistle still works:

Why Atom would call himself a mean girl and long winded is beyond me… Although he is fairly new and thinks he runs the place so perhaps its the drugs/split personality talking… either way he’s harmless… Just think of him as one of those little yapp dogs that stands at the door shaking and barking but then runs whenever the bigger dogs show up.
Late,
grmpysmrf

Oh, what a fucking humdinger, knee slapper, etc. The king of zingers pulled the old switcheroo on me. Brilliant. I am what I say you are. I get it. You are at that leve now. Fair enough.

Nobody likes you and everyone knows you’re a long-winded, boring, dick. I’ve lurked and observed your faggotry for some time… oh, and I’m not new.

You don’t need to warn people about me (or defend the board from me like you tried and claim to do when I first signed up under this name and broke your heart). Any lurker is well aware of how I behave and what a laughable, little obsessive retard you are. I mean, you’re dog barking analogy doesn’t even make sense. I’ve not ran when these “bigger dogs” have supposedly shown up. You on the other, you have done everything you’ve stated in that post. Where are these “bigger dogs”? Where are they? Who let them out??? Who let the…

So, disappear for a day again or flip your shit and try and hit me where you think it hurts again, ya boring cunt. Come on already. You talk such a big one but are the biggest let down. Disconnect your computer and get a life or take a long walk. A lot of people hate you and you care about that deeply. People like you hate me and I find it hilarious.

Tomato, tomato. You twat.

I don’t know if it’s the black tar or my other self talking but you are a grade A faggot and probably need a literal slap upside the head with a frying pan or a brick. Then again you are so far gone nothing can help you at this point.

Those poor children. ): ): ): ):

And here we go. Ruining a nice intro thread. Nice going, grumpy, you fuckwit.

boy you just can’t keep me out of any thread can ya’? fanboy much? “I can’t even say hi without bringing up old grmpysmrf.”

you are learning well you long winded blow hard.

although you lose points for threatening violence outside of the board… “just you wait… my mom’s gonna give me some money and let me borrow the car and I’m gonna come find you and slap you with a brick.”

you’re a joke and not even a funny one at that.

you’re a fucking clown wig.

Late,
grmpysmrf

If Grumpy and Atom’s boat is a rockin’, don’t come knockin’.

Well as I’ve said before as long as he’s focused on me he’s not really giving anyone else any shit so I don’t mind taking one for the team.

I love Paul Barker.

Yeah probably.

i have long held In Utero as my favorite, but i think that is because when i was getting really into Nirvana (2002-3, and shut up, i know i was late to the party, i was 12 haha) that album spoke to where i was mentally the best. it had a lot of the polish and shine that Nevermind did, but with a lot more of the fuzz and confusion of Bleach. ‘Serve The Servants’ still makes it into playlists frequently.

Atom makes some good points in his argument, and i can already tell by your calm attitude and interesting points that i will like reading a lot of what you have to say, so welcome to the board man. i was a lurker here for a VERY long time before i registered, and even there, i was registered for a long time before i actually started to throw in a lot. even now i kinda show up in waves. sometimes its better just to read and shake your head and then move on in real life than it is to get caught up in some of the arguments around here. haha. but there are some classy and nice guys on the board.

welcome.

The main point of the forum is to bask in my glory. The rest is superfluous nonsense which I allow only to keep the dogs contented.

Aren’t you the Marilyn Manson guy who likes shit and fat girls?

No. I don’t know who that is, he sounds awesome, but no. You see, haters like to call me bitch, faggot, whitey, (and fat girl/poop lover), but I AM SOMETHING YOU CAN NEVER BE

too funny

The infamous turd was also featured in this brilliant and often overlooked music video:

Notice the small peanuts. It’s a Snickers.

…and here is a recent photo of me and my friends. We are younger, more attractive, sexier, and cooler than all of you! I am giving you priceless inner glimpses here so I hope you appreciate this, Ambulance.

The infamous turd was featured again in this brilliant music video. Notice the small peanuts. It’s a Snickers.

and I quote:

I don’t even know what to say to grmpy’s scatological nonsense here but I will say:

[orange][size 4]the turd was real. [/size][/orange]

a lot of people have said the same thing, that it looks fake and it DID
it was really quite huge and actually quite hard. Not at all as I expected a turd to feel. It was not messy at all thankfully. It wasn’t one of those ones where you have to wipe your ass six thousand times after. If you look closely, a small piece of it falls off as I lifted it from the water, which I found amusing. I think maybe the turd was an entire burrito I ate before passing out the night before. I don’t remember now what I had eaten.

(this footage was filmed winter of last year and only now did I figure out what to do with it)

For those who do not believe the turd was real or want another funny insight, I pose you this question:

[size 4][orange]would a fake turd that was made of, say, a brownie rub off CLEAR ooze on to the lens of the camera (I’m referring to the very end of the video)??[/size][/orange]

That was another odd thing about the experience. I was surprised that this turd was so solid that what came off was actually a clear oily smudge and not what you would expect: a brown oozey paste.

what is the purpse of this?

some visuals that I think are important is the contrast of lipstick and shit both being applied to the lips in terms of interpreting on an abstract level.

this is more of an abstract art video piece so there is no clear cut message or meaning. It was meant to be viral and to cause a collective “what the fuck??” and also degrade me as a human being in people’s eyes.

part of the reason I did this was, as Gunnar said, to exercise ultimate free will which, in my thinking, is to do something socially unacceptable and dehumanizing not because you want to do it but precisely because you DON’T WANT to do it.

We are predisposed to make choices that will benefit us in a given situation and we are socially conditioned so thoroughly to not do certain things that true free will to me is to do something you really don’t want to do that is socially embarrassing, potentially devastating.

Consider that my boss is friends with me on Facebook and follows what I do with Nursing Home. When I posted my suicide video entitled “???” (see above in this thread), I accompanied it with a suicide note message to fans of Nursing Home on facebook and he is one of them. He expressed great concern (as did many friends and family) and I told him it was fake. He was a bit weirded out but he is a creative guy (we work in tv) so he seemed to get it.

But with this video which I have to assume he’s seen, he has said nothing and neither have my other coworkers, some of whom I expect have seen it.

All of this is risky because the freakier they think I am, I become more of a liability.

This is social conditioning as well. Even my boss who is a very smart and creative guy (and has in fact viewed and commented on SALO in a discussion we had) will be made uncomfortable by this video, because he personally knows me and he has a vested interest in me NOT being some crazy psycho fuck who will shoot up the office on day.

But isn’t all of this so silly that this little video and act of free will could be so potentially degrading and embarassing in the eyes of other people?

The reason I find “shocking” things inspiring is because they reveal the power of the communication and the fact of how unevolved we still are as a culture and species. They reveal an animal side to us by eliciting immediate mental and emotional reactions that everyday art does not release.

When you think about it, is it really so ludicrous to want to touch your own feces to see what the fuck it smells and feels like? You spend your entire life shitting it out and it lands in a wet bowl and you never even make contact with these little abortions your asshole continually spews out. You never even know exactly what they are like, because you are so thoroughly socially conditioned to not ever touch that waste matter, conditioned that it is disgusting and repulsive.

Well yes it smells and yes it’s disgusting but it’s really not so degrading after all I took a shower washed my hands and now, a year later, I’m still here alive and breathing. Smoking a cigarette or drinking a beer or driving a car is certainly more stupid than rubbing shit on your face when your ultimate main goal and need in life is animalistic self-preservation as it is for most of us when it comes down to it.

I am willing to wager that as a baby or small child while toilet training most of us tried to or actually did touch our own feces out of simple chidlike curiosity. But now the very idea seems completely insane to us, repulsive and degrading.

It was that childlike state where there are no rules and boundaries and you just simple DO what you want at the spur of the moment even if it’s weird or freaky, distasteful and has no clear benefit or reason, that’s what I find very inspiring.

grmpy you do not have the ability to replicate this piece for a multitude of reasons, but the most obvious is that social conditioning and your pride will not allow you to do this act. Yes you don’t WANTto do it, duh, but you also lack the balls to prove me wrong and do it to prove your point.

So you not only lose the debate because you won’t prove me wrong by attempting to replicate my art (and thereby prove it’s not art…or that it’s a lesser form of art or whatever the fuck your convoluted and absolutely asinine"point" is here), but the fact you spent what I would surmise amounts to more than twenty minutes typing out responses and comments about a still image preview of a 90 second video you never actually watched is actually more retarded than rubbing shit on your face WITHOUT a camera present for no purpose whatsoever in my opinion.

If good art is supposed to elicit emotion, discussion and reaction then I’d say this particular piece is a more effective example of art in our modern context than the Mona Lisa.

However the Mona Lisa obviously required a greater mastery of a particular skill than this video did so I lose there.

Apples and oranges and really, the point you are making grmpy is totally unclear and pointless.

Yes my still image was not art in and of itself. NO SHIT sherlock!! (pun intended) But it was a fucking PREVIEW of a video which was the art piece.

You are clearly predisposed to not like what I do. That’s fine. Move along or post something worthwhile or better yet grow a fucking set and [size 4][orange]prove me wrong[/size][/orange] by making a parody video of this in which you rub your own shit on your face to prove your “point”.

well if you’re going back on your rant (you’re a long winded blow hard by the way) then it took just a touch under 3 years before I proved you wrong by getting you to admit you lied… but now I’ve changed my stance. you really did it, and now you’re lying. either way I win again… just too easy with a few in this bunch.

…and here is a recent photo of me and my friends. We are younger, more attractive, sexier, and cooler than all of you! I am giving you priceless inner glimpses here so I hope you appreciate this, Ambulance.

You hangin’ out with the cast of Jersey Shore now? Say “Hi” to Ronnie, Pauly D, and The Situation for me. I’m sure you have big plans for some GTL action and fist pumping all summer long, so I won’t bother you from finding some Guidettes who are DTF.


Does the dude on the right have “DNA” tattooed on his chest? not nearly as cool as a lopsided swastika carved on his ribs with a piece of broken glass but whatevs.
Late,
grmpysmrf

what is the deal with the lame fucking reverse V signs in the photo? why it is there?

Void why are you hanging out with dudebro guidos? lol

I’m more fascinated by his chest hair. It kind of looks like he shaves, but then he left a scraggly patch in between his titties. Is that so Void can pretend it’s a hairy butthole and nuzzle his face in the middle?

(this footage was filmed winter of last year and only now did I figure out what to do with it)

Okay, now I need to jump on the turdwagon too. I thought you did the turd stunt FOR your TickyTickyTicky video, but actually you just decided to have one of your Guido friends film you rubbing a log on your face without any plan. You were like, “Hey, film me grabbing my poop and rubbing it on my face. Maybe the footage will come in handy someday.”

This really begs the question . . . What other footage is archived in the VoidVaults just waiting for the right application?

The three of you look like cage dancers in a gay night club just getting off an eight hour shift.

Are any of your friends named Raoul by any chance?
