Thing is, Nick and Slater would probably really get along if they met up in real life. The internet is a fucked joint.

That said, are you sure gettting a number into your phone, calling you, eating with you and sticking you with the bill wasn't just part of some elaborate strip tease?

Ask yourself, why was I desperate to sell the site?
TO BE ABLE TO PAY THE STAFF FULL TIME. Ask Devin about this fact.

Also, don't question my commitment to this site. If you have any idea how tough this last year was to get us to where we are today. Ask Devin about this fact.

And, I had to be political in regards to MEG...
I wanted out a long time ago and tried to quit several times. If you actually knew anything about the situation I'd actually be bothered.

Fuck that! I propose pistols at dawn. Or at least fisticuffs at San Diego Comic-Con. There would be no shortage of volunteers from either side.

I met Slater in real life. Bought him drinks. We got along famously. Back in the day I was his biggest fucking supporter.

Poor Nick. You have no idea how many of your so-called friends like to gossip about you behind your back. You'd be surprised some of the stuff I know. And some of the people I heard it from.

Not really. Nothing surprises me here anymore.

Actually, I don't think he'd be surprised at all. What's surprising is how much you think Nick cares about that Too Cool For School clique. Nick's problem is that he's tried to be diplomatic about things. That is/was his mistake. I'd have dropped the bomb on most of you fuckers and cut all ties eons ago.

I can count on a hand the people I know are truly my home team and not backtalkers. Zero of them are on payroll. So, no... don't assume you have some inside track.

Yeah, I heard he was in the running for John Bolton's job.

Nick, you can (and will) believe whatever you want, but you're the one who started talking shit behind people's backs. Don't act surprised that it's finally catching up to you.

Slater, you overvalue your ability to affect my life.
post #66 of 165
"I can count on a hand the people I know are truly my home team and not backtalkers."

Nick, I think the "home team" thing is overplayed, and frankly a little insulting. I know you get nothing but unwavering loyalty from Carl and a lot of the other Georgia folks, but there's no reason to think that just because somebody criticizes something about site content they're undercutting you.

I'm looking at this new blog feature that's been talked about a lot with the site redesign, and apart from the stuff Dre's done, most of what I see is a couple of posts about the pleasures of strip joints, the perils of bad Azn/old driving and some guy ranting about late-night girdle commercials. I guess that will grow the site if your target audience is guys who think Maxim is edgy and people who complain about airplane food, but with the way the main page continues to get better and better minute by minute, why not show a little something in the blogs that isn't going to alienate the portion of your readership that is either female or human (or both)? Why not bring your A game?

But if you express something like that, then Lapdog Carl labels you part of The Prick Contingent or the Too Cool For School club.

Russell, The HOME TEAM thing refers to the people I can trust unreservedly. It's not about CHUD and I apologize if I indicated as such. There's a lot of gossipy shit that is inherent in this kind of place. I made the mistake in the past of equating post count and daily presence with friendship and it burned me. I've probably scuttled a few good friendships by my own fuck-up but some of the situations absolutely mystify me.

I have no doubt that the BLOGS will be one of the best parts of the site. And they're BLOGS. I like the Wild West approach and as far as I'm concerned it'll be difficult for me to be interesting AND try and do it 7 days a week. I'm enjoying the shit out of them and I don't mind alienating someone with mine because it'll eventually offend or speak nice about everyone.

No one gives Carl as much shit as I do, but he's hardly the litigator for my defense.

(As an aside, Alex's blog stuff is also good.)


[Although, dude, Romero went to college and made his movies here. The stuff you can choose. And he's got a house here. Of course he's ours.]
post #69 of 165
Here's the voice of someone not involved in this fracas - I come to CHUD for movie stuff. I really don't care about the trouble that a graying bachelor/wannabe-bachelor in Georgia gets into at a stripclub. I'm staying away from blogs like that. Is this what all the redesign fuss was about?

And you were "victimized"? Because a stripper called your house? Did you mentor Nick in how to combine hyperbole and paranoia into one miserable existence, by any chance?
First of all, your assumption that I was victimized at all is completely wrong. I merely observed behaviors going on at tables in the area. The dancers that call my phone have my permission to do so.

Secondly its your lack of imagination that has you trolling forums looking to fuck someone with your wit. Well, much like offline, you won't be doing any fucking here. Get a life, maybe buy a girlfriend that doesn't need an inflator valve.

Wait-- did the guy who talked at length online about his time-tested approach to strip club fun just make an "inflatable girlfriend" joke? That just happened, didn't it?

Dave's not up to date with internet skirmish technology. He's been too busy doing the shit we all wanna do some day if we could ever get the time and financial security. Don't hold it against him.

Just wait until he REALLY pisses you off with a political blog.

And here is a second person (who isn't close to anyone in this fracas) saying the same thing: If Chud's new passion is centered around strippers (I was in chat when you tossed out your new Ask A Stripper bit, Nick), smoking cigars, beer league softball and golf than you guys are about as interesting as lint. I can walk into any company and find any number of sad-eyed flabby middle-aged white guys interested in the same things and I can't tell them apart.

Stick with the movie news. You are great at it. Social commentary? Not so much.

You mean like trolling strip clubs at nearly forty years of age? Or something else? If something else, tell him to post about that stuff, and post the other crap in the Sex forum where the fabfunks hang out.

Dave was a big shot tennis player before I knew him, quite helpful in me getting a career foothold, one of the smarter people I've ever known, a great guy, and gifted person all around. Give him a little more time before you judge him based on a blog he tossed together in ten minutes.

Okay, so your friend is the retard. You're just the guy who brags about playing with himself in the back corner of a strip club.

Wait, Carl's divorced? No wonder he's not on Chud anymore. He's gotta be working like 4 jobs to deal with that bill.
post #98 of 165
First off, I'm no one's "lapdog". I hate you insufferable assholes on my own accord. Sure, Nick's been a longtime personal friend, but as he mentioned we've been known to give each other a hard time too. That's because there is no contrived bullshit or self-serving ulterior motives underlying everything.

Secondly, you can ditch the schadenfreude, R-LU. I'm perfectly happy with the whole divorce thing and the ex and I actually parted amicably and get along just fine. And though she's seeing a great new gentlemen she's free to have fun with whoever she wants, including underperforming MLB players. So crack divorce jokes all you want, because it won't be at my expense. It would be kind of sad to see you have to fish for a different tune, though.

I came out of it remarkably unscathed (including financially), actually. I should write a book about it.

I'm not on CHUD much anymore because I actually have free time these days and spend it more constructively, like hanging out with friends IRL and dating 18-25 year olds.

He's "challenged", what are you a social moron as well? Geesh.

About you imagining me playing with myself. I have two words, seek help.
