I recently got an email from a mailing list I'm on (hi Autocon), and it mentioned the following site:

www.angelfire.com/az3/transtopia

No, I'm not going to make that a link because the site is ass.

I wrote the following response to the mailing list and damned it if didn't sound like my old anti-'blog' tirades, so here, have it.

To quote the email from Autocon: "I've done some searching and found out that the other meetup member in Tucson is a girl, about late teens-early twenties I guess. I'm only basing that on the content of her website, which you guys can check out here if you want to hazard a guess at her age"

Late teens early twenties? Jesus Christ. MFO is (mostly) late teens-early twenties. We are obsessed with sex, alcohol, and loud music. THAT is late teens-early twenties. Her site reminds me of junior high scribblings... yeesh. (I also assume Transtopia is short for Transformers Dystopia, because ... yuck.) And while I do realize that I'm an overcritical, jackass snob, some people were complaining that I haven't been ranting enough lately. Allow me to rectify that. I'm sure you'll be sick of me again soon.

I dunno. Maybe she's cute. Of course, cute with a personality that is about as inviting as nails in your eyeballs (I mean the long metal sharp kind, not the long painted red on the end of fingers kind), so...

While I'm being an elitist pig, Third Eye Blind is a shitty band and their stupid song 'Semi-Charmed Life' is really fucking annoying. Even if they're a local band, even if their singer used his fame to buy his way to Japan and get groupies to hunt down Japanese toys for him, even if he used to work at Kimono My House (a nearby toy shoppe) and even if he's a cool guy, their band fucking sucks. And what the fuck is some airhead teenybopper doing polluting the Internet with this shit?



(Note: I didn't really think to mention this before, but the reason I mentioned 'Semi-Charmed Life' is that the subpar intellect behind 'Transtopia' named a fanfic after that rancid excuse for a song.)

Sorry. I was reading my old posts on MFO's anti-blog and realized I hadn't said anything horrible about some shitty website lately.

Lalalala.

More quotation from the letter, " I'm trying to get John (the Steelskin guy) interested in joining, but he's just not into it."

With people like her as his meeting partners, I can see why.

More quoting, "He thinks it'll suck so he not joining. He's been making jokes about how the girl is probably way younger than 19."

Hey, I think I could like this John guy. Can he write scathingly?

Quote-o-rama, "So worst case scenario is I'm stuck at McDonalds talking Transformers to an 8 year old. Now I know why there's an 'Adult Fans of Lego' group."

An 8 year old? She's probably some idiotic high school cheerleader (or otherwise vapid) girl who had a boyfriend who wore a shirt with the Autobot symbol on it he got from Hot Topic and can hardly remember Transformers. Fuck, he's probably one of the assholes who tried to beat me up for still liking Transformers in sixth grade when no else did anymore. He's probably one of those guys that we were talking about on here before... you know, the ones who can name Optimus AND NO ONE ELSE. She probably went, "Oh! Jazz is so cute! I wanna be a Transformers fan so I can pick up STUPID UNDERSEXED NERD BOYS AND GET THEM TO SPEND LOTS OF MONEY ON ME!!! RAR! FEAR ME AND MY POWERS OF SEXUAL PERSUASION!" But she probably spelled all of that wrong when she said it in her mind, and it was in between bouts of fantasizing about the Backstreet Boys. You know, one of the girls that spent the last four years tormenting Hellbunny and one of the ones that will receive their just desserts when Hellbunny receives her degree in chemical engineering and unleashes an unstoppable super disease and turns the planet into a barren wasteland. Knowing Hellbunny, she'll find a way to code it to your IQ and call it the 'Stupid People Plague', but I'm getting ahead of myself here...

Quoth the Esteban, "I'm giving up on convincing John to come. Looks like International Trtansformers Meetup Day is going to suck in Tucson. I'll take a camera anyways and see what happens."

Please send pictures.

In other news, I'm going to stalk whoever designed the website at SFSU because they need to learn the true meaning of fear.

P.S. Thank you, "thumper", for sharing your brother's pic of Jazz and your sister's pic of Ironhide that they drew circa 1984 when they were TODDLERS. Yes, thank you for making this startling discovery available online. I wish you good luck in your career as an archaelogist.
P.S.P.S. Gee, you think she didn't care about Transformers and just picked it up because 80's fads making a comeback is now trendy thanks to Hot Topic? Noooooo. Couldn't be.
P.S.P.S.P.S. You can't write.
