Analogy: Idiot Members to Bees

Messages

While argueing with an oaf here I was trying to think of the best way to describe the local tools of GTP.

After trying to compare them to piles of manure, rotten eggs, and a vanerial disease I came up with the perfect analogy.

Bees.

I wrote this analogy in another thread. I loved it so much I thought I should throw it in the "Opinions" forum. Maybe you guys will have something to add, maybe not.

Anywho, here it is. I thought it was short and simple, but got to the point.

Idiots likeness to bees.

There is no sense in really argueng with fools. The smart members here are outnumbered atleast 367:1 by fools.

I think of all the dumb members here like bees.

They can sometimes be allright, just kinda floating around, not doing much but minding their own business. But then you get the occasional one who will go out of its way just to annoy the **** outta you.

And what do you do when a bee/idiot annoy you?

You give it a whack.

Problem is though that once you whack one of them then you got to deal with a whole cloud of them.

So really it's best to leave them alone, but sometimes you can't help but just try to swat a couple down.

Yep, bees.

Bees!
 
Your advice to completely ignore them is a good one. I do my best to follow that rule. Sometimes it takes serious self-control to master the violent impulses I get as it triggers feelings of being defeated.

Although I believe Complete ignorance is the true victory. That includes not to reply "I don't care about your opinions" because just the reply itself shows you care about what they think about you.

Flies woud be better. Bees are cool.

I thought of that, but I came up with a couple reasons why they are most akin to bees than flies.

Like bees you have to be weary of them ganging up on you.

If one idiot/bee senses an attack it will send out a call for help for other idiots/bees to come to the rescue. (for bees it's pheramones, for idiots its "OMG Dude! Liek whatS wrong MAn! You got soMEthing up your Ass?!!!")

Also, flies serve zero purpose (in my opinion) and are really just there to annoy the hell out of you. But bees/idiots (while still being annoying) still serve a tiny purpose. (bees make me delicious honey, and idiots make me laugh)

I am putting way too much thought into this.

:irked:
 
Flies serve a very important function. Their larve are maggots. Which help to decompose Flesh. Be it roadkill, a squirrel in the woods, or other thing.

They all congregate and fliter around dead or dying things. I think there's an analogy in their somewhere.

AO
 
how about they are like flies feasting on a dead body that is also known as us? Once one of them sees the body, they all swarm...hmm...that doesn't fill the analogy right either.

How about Locusts? GTP is the crop, the idiots are the locusts

bzzzzzzz................................zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.............zzzzzzzzzzzz
 
"buzzzzzz...Buzzzzzzz"

*I swat at you, you noobbees!!!!* Hmm... they seem to have retreated... Ha!!!... Like that'll ever happen...
*Swat*
 
It isn't new members that get me, it's people who can't type a clear sentence if their life depended on it. Capitalization! Punctuation! Think of these things. Don't act like a jackass! Its really inevitable, though. As forums grow and become more popular, the idiot member level raises quite a bit. It's only to be expected.
 
I don't know if anybody classes me as a 'Bee' and I hope that I've never offended anyone, but I have just come across one buzzing nuisance in a thread that I started. Rumple's got the right idea with his read and ignore strategy, but sometimes it's hard to hold back. I had to restrain myself from swatting the buzzing upstart and instead gave him a casual flick. One of these days though, I know that I'm going to bring my fly-swat down very hard, which I'll end up regretting. Such is life! :(

Nice analogy guys. Not too many bees here, I would say. Of course, I keep a Bee-Whacker 2000 in my DVD drive, just in case.


Only a 2000?! The 3000 model came out months ago!!! I wouldnt trust that 2000 with all the idiots around here!:lol:

No you wont. It actually feels great. And you might get quoted in somebody's signature!
 
Hmmmm,

Whilst reading through this forum I wondered what a Noo-bee would look like. On my travels I came across this picture,
