   What the Heck is this (didn’t want to use “heck”)? I just checked out that site, and it looks like a site where “raunchy Lego talk” takes place. The discussion about putting ones mouth to..... well I won’t say it here, but it does mention reproductive organs. Is this where raunchy people who have been kicked off of Lugnet go? Or am I missing sothething?

Um, I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. Granted, I only did a cursory look-see at the forum, and maybe you clicked on something I hadn’t, but FBTB has always prided itself on being kid-friendly as far as I remember.

We shouldn’t give them any more grief, though. In case you hadn’t heard, the FBTB forum was hacked by some amateur who probably exploited that one weakness in old PHP code. And now it looks like they’ve got a lot of lost data.

On the other hand, from the way you’re acting so scandalized, it’s gotta be pretty awful. Anyone from there wanna shed some light on this? Or better yet, Gary, give us a non-work-safe link?

I was only trying to help that Adam kid. Even if there was a bit of ulterior motive of keeping his dirty feet off my freshly-vacuumed LUGNet.

Kevin, I got weird messages when I visited the temporary site that you referenced. The “NEWS” line (which initially says “Sign the Guestbook”) changes every few seconds to some pretty raunchy lines of text (Afro-Whores, shaving buttocks, etc). That was as far as I went in checking out the website.

Huh, I didn’t even notice that news ticker thing until you pointed it out to me. I recognize a lot of these quotes, just not the raunchy ones. So I Googled them. Here’s what I found:



Sign the Guestbook (Links to the guestbook thread)

“Madam, we must have waffles! We must all have waffles forthwith! We must all think, and we must all have waffles, and think each and every one of us to the very best of his ability...” (This is apparently from The Ladykillers)

“I can do whatever I want. I’m eccentric. Grr!” (This is, i guess, from Rat Race)

“2:00 ‘Afro Whores’, 3:30 ‘Afro Whores’, 5:00 ‘Afro Whores’... It says in the morning you watched ‘The Grinch’ for ten minutes, then switched back to ‘Afro Whores.‘” (Again ostensibly from Rat Race)

“Kate, it’s time for you to put your mouth where our balls are.” (From Dodgeball, it says)

“Can you keep a secret? I’m trying to organize a prison break. We have to first get out of this bar, then the hotel, then the city, and then the country. Are you in or you out?” (From Lost in Translation)

“Well, I have all your equipment in my locker. You should probably come get it cause I can’t fit my nunchucks in there anymore.” (This is a Napoleon Dynamite quote.)

“Except... we’re both wearing sailor hats. Then we get into a jacuzzi filled with Pepto-Bismol, I clip your toenails, and you shave my buttocks.” (This is also from Rat Race)

“Napoleon, don’t be jealous that I’ve been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I’m training to be a cage fighter.” (Another Napoleon Dynamite quote)

“I spent like three hours shading the upper lip.” (Another Napoleon Dynamite quote)

“Too bad, she said she doesn’t want you here when she gets back because you’ve been ruining everybody’s lives and eating all our steak.” (Another Napoleon Dynamite quote)


So, I guess they just like some dumb movies. In any case, I agree with you that some of these quotes are rather inappropriate. They may be very funny in-context, I can’t say, but putting them up on a supposedly “kid-friendly” site like that seems kinda tasteless. But, on the other hand, it’s not my site, and therefore not my call.

From what I can see, Collin Harvey (NOSPAMchalcyon at NOSPAMmac dot comNOSPAM) and Mike Crowley (countblockulaNOSPAM at gmailNOSPAM dot NOSPAMcom) are the head honchos over there, send ‘em an email and tell them what you think.

(...) Yeah, you can thank Repoort for doing that. He put the forum together for us, so I haven't been bugging him much about taking certain liberties with the layout, etc. I'll PM him about this. He'll change them if he hears that people are finding (...) (20 years ago, 6-Jan-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)
