o.k. so iknow that some of you guys have been at this a long time, and im not trying to act like a salty vet of the BBS or the portal, any of them for that matter, 'cause i know i sound like a know-it-all noob. I will be the first to let you know that i dont know even as much as the regulars on the site,but i am still a noob; only in regards to certain things, for the most part, like the fine details. but i come here everyday, for quite a while most of the time, and just peruse the possibilities. The not so endless possibilities of dick and fart jokes, the quasiphilosophical possibilitis of the deep, complex, dramatic flashes,=====(or their attempt at, sorry guys, you know who you are.[actually, they mite not considering they posted their schtick with genuine meaning, feelings and/or intention.] even tho its not opinion that makes them bad, its the lack of quality, usually in the writing. once again standards impeding fair judgment, because not everyone can be deep or philisophical; although those who cant, shouldnt do it,(for sake of dignity and avoidble bashing and blamming and so on) they who've proven lack thereof, deserve everything they get, my words are to you; not ppl who didnt know any better.) ========the caliope possibilities of ever-changing content in the seemingly abyssal depths of the collections vault, whos flashes are WIDELY varied and most wholly unpredictable, from the speculation as to what bases belong to who, to what mite NOT be more than meets the eye(or just an odd satire of modern religion), to the legions that followed johnny_utah into the wasteland battlefeilds of 20XX, or the legions that formed in respnse to the railings of one (now infamous) NGer, whose mockings of a certain "fruit-shaped-clock" led to a legion of locks, (and a website + cult status following)and lest we forget, the numa-numa dance a of evil, that was never to be heard from again; (not even the highlander could put to rest, that evil beast that was sensational to the internet), and of course thr bountiful parodies, comps, and collabs of our greatest adolescent pixelated heroes, villians and stories. ive watched ever so carefully the postings of portal kings, absolute queens, flash heroes, and blammed-out zeroes, all so that i could learn the wais of the Newgrounder. a long winded fledgling i may be, but i will prove beyond the shadow of a doubt, that can keep up with most, maybe not all of, but most of, the seasoned members of our belovedly twisted society. dont get me wrong, i mean some of the usuals defy that description, kirbopher, egoraptor, the locks(most of em, meaning the REAL ones), the clocks(same for them too), luis, el cid, MrFulp, just to name a few,(there are way too many that fall under this catagory; if they didnt get mentioned, its not a matter of opinion, there are just too many kings of the portal to list,[do you relly want a repeat of the first half of this post? i thot so] besides they probably could give two shits about a noobs opinion of them)they'renot just seasoned, they're char-broiled, pan-seared, prepared rite before your eyes, just how you like it, hot, juicy and melting thru your plate at the speed of sound; yes, im talking about the untouchables those so in tune with teh tank-riding (thats us,) masses that its almost hard to believe they are real. even tho most of them are college kids using this for their master thesis in whatever, or just using whatever excuse they can find to make a shiny new flash toon. these are they who are only matched by those who are held in the same regard; touched only by other untouchables.... and the gym coach, step-dad, creepy aunt / uncle, or wierdo next-door-neighbor, that gave them the issues that inspired most of the wild, irreverent, and yes, even taboo, ideas for the bountiful flash toons, games, and other craziness that acheived them this status. These obviously, by the way i speak of them, are those who i beleive surpass not only my, but most of our understanding of the newgrounder, i can only hope that someone would, not only read this entire tome of bullsh!t, BUT, also help affirm me in the standing of my knowledge, as prevously stated and henceforth spoken, in refference to the rest of the community, as a soceity.( this really should have gone at the top of the page :P )
