no prime directive?
come on. don't ya even wanna, a little?
hahahahhaa
It's true

BBP - 14-7-2008 at 11:51

Yeah... I miss the old regulars Gojira (Pappawas1975) and Puptent (Studebaker) though, used to have real lengthy chats with Goj... and of course the late Studebaker_hoch...

Badchild - 15-7-2008 at 09:21

Funny thing, it looks like there are many more people on that forum now then 5 years ago. Has FZ' music touch more people or is it just that internet access has allowed more idiots to join forums????

scallopino - 15-7-2008 at 09:45

I would say people just find the forums. Some of them leave though, like me. I would love to know who popular FZ's music is in terms of album sales and such.

Badchild - 15-7-2008 at 14:10

Not very as far as new consumers are concerned me thinks. Sales figures are impossible to find and are a close kept secret. The ZFT want's it that way! Alltough Fz has worldwide Rockstar status for just about anyone over 40 yrs old, and a much bigger following in Europe than in the US, he remains, for most people, just a name. They've heard of him but could not identify any of his albums xcept maybe Joe's Garage. But not many would buy an album, new or otherwise.
BBP is an exception to the rule of course, as she is still young AND pretty...I guess it's because she's smart too.

i feel just the same as you, bonny, I miss Gojira and puptent a lot.

BBP - 15-7-2008 at 19:04

I hear you Badchild... First of all remember I only post flattering photos.
Secondly, HERE I managed to squeeze in a little Zappa reference. Leading to the comment of a member awkwardly named Z:...

I feel that the amount of Internet users has grown massively over the past three, four years. While back when I started to study musicology the WWW could barely deliver any source, nowadays Internet is a heavily used feature. Some teachers even use it to spread college texts. While 6 years ago a youngster could get around without the Web, there's no way you could go to school without it now.
And with that grow the amount of people hanging around on the Web. And with THAT another evolution happens. While computers were just for geeks a long time, and the early internet users were pretty much a class of their own. You couldn't run a message board the way they were run a couple of years ago. Would be full of Zombie remarks.

polydigm - 16-7-2008 at 00:43

Pappawas1975 is still a regular at zappa.com. Why did he stop coming here?

You should have corrected the moderator who thinks FZ' real surname is Francesco!

You're right about internet use today. I actually liked the Alt-Fan Frank Zappa thing better than the forum. There were real extraterrestial fans in there. Like Buffy the Elephant Shrew and Bossk.

BBP - 16-7-2008 at 09:17

I did correct him! Or maybe her.

Pappa has a son (which, as you may recall, is called Frank). That eats his time. He's promised to pop in occasionally.

I understand that newsgroup is still around... at least a friend showed a Zappa fan news group to me about two years ago.

Totally. Internet users are now all kinds of people. My grandfather is a fierce critic of television and he despised computers and the internet when it came about. He always said: "You'll never get me sitting in front of one of those things." Now he has two computers and uses the newest one all the time and spends a large amount of his life sending and receiving emails.

punknaynowned - 16-7-2008 at 19:48

yep, yep, yep, all true!

BBP - 17-7-2008 at 10:11

Cute story about your grandfather!

We recently got my grandmother a new PC, with XP. She doesn't surf though, she plays Lingo and Solitaire.

Badchild - 17-7-2008 at 12:58

couldn't you just have bought her a deck of cards??

BBP - 17-7-2008 at 13:06

She has some already! But then you have to shuffle them and lay them out, which is a drag.

punknaynowned - 17-7-2008 at 18:00

I'm sorry Punk but I don't get it.

BBP - 24-7-2008 at 13:05

Unless he was sneakily referring to my telephone fear (which I didn't think I informed you about) I don't understand it either. And if he WAS referring to that peculiar personality trait:

DAMN! I missed!

scallopino - 25-7-2008 at 05:55

What kind of a telephone fear is it? Is it a Woody Allen thing? "I-I-I think it has something to do with the shape of the receever."

BBP - 25-7-2008 at 06:44

I'm very nervous about calling people, even good friends and family. And when I pick up the phone I'm nervous as well. But once I'm talking the only thing I truly hate is when the receiver becomes warm from your ear.

I'm ESPECIALLY nervous about calling good friends and family 'cuz I hate dealing with "wow, I haven't talked to YOU in ages!".

Whenever the phone rings at home, if I answer it (which is rare), I immediately hand it to my wife if she's not taking a shower.

Me too. Maybe it's a Zappa related thing.

Either way I'll try to avoid using telephones as much as I can...

zombie1210 - 3-8-2008 at 19:04

I hate phones, but they are a necessary evil.

Bonny, you look hot in your avatar pic!

aquagoat - 3-8-2008 at 19:29

i don't really like using phones either, i don't know why but I don't feel comfortable with that tool.

Jakeobs - 3-8-2008 at 21:03

About 10 minutes ago, the phone rang while I was watching a YouTube video of Lou Reed inducting FZ into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. My wife asked me to answer it. I did not.

polydigm - 4-8-2008 at 01:06

I find the telephone a real handy tool, but I guess I'm hypocritical about it, because I always expect whoever it is to be there when I call but I hate it when the phone rings and I'm in the middle of one of my favourite shows on TV. Mind you, I don't ring people at times that I figure would be inconvenient for them and wonder why some of them can't get the hint about when it's not convenient for me. Of course, now that I have a decent DVD recorder I record most of the shows I watch and I can start watching them while they're still recording so if the phone rings I don't miss anything. It's especially convenient for commercial television shows. I start watching 20 or so minutes after the scheduled start and fast forward over the ads.

To steal a joke, I tried to have phone sex once but the holes in the phone were too small.

Hummer? Surely you can't cross the canyon on a cellphone?

Jakeobs - 6-8-2008 at 09:16

No, but you CAN cross the love canyon if you put it on vibrate, tape it to your privates and call it over and over again.

What if your mother calls you right at that moment?

BBP - 6-8-2008 at 18:46

I sent an email to the Zappa.com webmaster offering to sign on as a moderator. Received no reply. Someone really needs to deal with the shit going on over there. I've received dozens of harassing PMs and those idiots keep bumping those stupid posts in order to further harass me, and now there's a new Ban Isaac thread? Who let so many goddamn toddlers onto the Zappa board?

zombie1210 - 28-9-2008 at 00:49

Your problem is that you think everybody should be some little closet freak like you who spends his days fantasizing about movies, and masturbating all day.

People are who they are. Fuck you.

There are many ways around it, Bonny.

I just think its funny how they "run" that place.

That place is all about the games. FZ content is nothing but silly polls and overused cliche garbage.

Not to mention the endless wars... get rid of one, the next one's not far away! Very tiring.

I've had some interesting conversations there for instance about how to improve on the guitar, the piano people in CP3, complex time signatures, how FZ constructed various solos or even the latest release and so on and although they may not have been extremely learned discussions, what's wrong with a bit of socialising involving your favourite composer.

Yes, Zombie, you are encouraging vile reactions because of your own vileness. If you're too headless to see it, I suggest you take up a different hobby, preferably not involving PCs.

punknaynowned - 1-10-2008 at 18:06

woah!
it's all cozy in here!
(:
for what it's worth, I thought it was dumb for the zforum to ban you, zombie.
I also think the fight between you and Isaac is dumb. Not my form of entertainment.
But what do I know? I'm just another faceless typer half way around the world.
May everyone's Zappa dreams come true.

Uh...whatever, Bonny.

I could give shit what you do. Ban me if it makes you feel good.

But know this.....I have done nothing to warrant it. All I did was point out that Isaac was on a misssion to cause trouble.

Please feel free to point out exactly how it was me causing trouble. It you use my response to Isaac, it is an EPIC FAIL, and you are just looking for ANY reason to ban me because of things that happened on another forum, that have no bearing whatsoever on this place.

BUT.......

When you're the Queen, you can do what ever the fuck you want.

scallopino - 2-10-2008 at 06:05

Zombie, I like having you here and didn't understand your bad rep before a few days ago. It's only since Isaac came that you just seem to stop your normal activities to engage Isaac in vileness, as Bonny put it. Why do it? You don't have to. Just don't even respond to Isaac and Isaac will either stop doing it or get banned.

zombie1210 - 2-10-2008 at 13:52

I've done nothing to Isaac except point out that he is here on a mission.

Bonny doesn't like me because of another forum.

Go back and read. Show me where I've been such a terrible person.

In the end, it doesn't really matter to me what she does.

BBP - 2-10-2008 at 17:16

Isaac was here before Zombie. It gets up my nerves when he's bumping a lot of threads and calling other members names, but when people like Zombie encourage him it's worse. It won't end until one of the guilty parties puts his foot down and stops it.

zombie1210 - 2-10-2008 at 23:45

I haven't ENCOURAGED anything. When are you going to figure that out?

It you want the little pissant to troll, he'll troll. That's what he does.

I only pointed that out. That's all.

BBP - 3-10-2008 at 13:38

You're calling somebody names. Do you think he'll take that lying down when he comes back here? No, he'll fight back. Fortunately he's smart enough to stay away.

zombie1210 - 3-10-2008 at 13:49

Whatever. You just plain don't like me, so you are trying to villify me,

OK fine. Rationalize it any way you want. He is a troll.

I don't call people names. Or else I do so very rarely, and in jest. But 99.9% of the name-calling is directed towards me, and nearly all of the time, someone other than myself is "bumping a lot of threads".

And despite Help-I'm-A-Spammer's insistance, I've done no trolling in his thread, but rather responded to his "Hello Hello Hello" reference with a couple of Three Stooges jokes. But since he knows absolutely nothing about one of the greatest comedy teams of all time, he responds with actual trolling, just as he used to do on the Zappa Forum.

I'm not going to argue with you because it's a waste of time. You have to make some real posts at some point, because if you spend all of your time screaming at everyone else, you'll get banned a lot sooner than at the Z-Forum.

zombie1210 - 6-10-2008 at 02:52

fuck you. THIS is what you do. You bait people and then you get all butt hurt and play innocent.

If Bonny can't see that, she's dumb as a rock.

And there you are calling people names. Don't worry, I'm not dumb. I don't like you arguing here, and as it takes two to argue, you are both guilty of that.

Make me go away if you like. Have your little love fest with Isaac the Troll for all I care.

It must be a foreigner thing.....you really don't get it.

Isaac is a fucking troll. He always has been and he always will be. He will suck up and kiss your ass at the first hint that you might ban him. Then you will play right into his hands.

I only point out what is really going on, and I'm the bad guy. I really don't care what you do one way or another. Like I said in another post, I can be back if I want to. Its really not that hard to do. I'm thre different people right now on the Zappa forum. Care to guess which three? I'll give a prize if anyone can guess TWO of them!!!!

You're both exasperating, vexatious, annoying, irritating and boring the living shit out of me (I'll send it to you for a kiss). I considered your mental capacity to be over that of Isaac, as you seem to know how to behave, but I was wrong. You just like to fuck up people, and you'll even make an extra account (or more) so you can do just that.
I've had numerous complaining about your bickering, and it has caused people to run away from this place which does not have too many people anyway. Worse, you're spreading it over more thread than one.

THIS IS MY FINAL WARNING.
If you can't act normal beyond this message, I'll have to delete the offending posts, and if necessary, even ban your ass. If you know how to behave, then fucking DO IT.
