Wow, it's definitely been a long time since I've graced the presence of Uber. From what I've read, you can apparently post crap nowadays and have it widely accepted by the Uber community. That being said, I think I'll contribute to the huge pile and then disappear for a few more years.
When I first heard this story, as told by my friend, the first thing that popped into my mind was that this would make a good post for Uber. Then I realized how times have changed in the Uber community, but fuck it. You assholes need a short, funny story to grace the presence of the quantity driven, quality lacking front page.
Once again, this was recollected to me by a friend:
"I took my dad to the mall the other day to buy some new shoes. We decided to grab a bite at the food court. I noticed he was watching a teenager sitting next to him. The teenager had spiked hair in all different colors: green, red, orange, and blue. My dad kept staring at him. The teenager would look and find him staring every time.
When the teenager had enough, he sarcastically asked, 'What's the matter old man, never done anything wild in your life?'
Knowing my Dad, I quickly swallowed my food so that I would not choke on his response; knowing he would have a good one. And in classic style he did not bat an eye in his response.
'Got drunk once and had sex with a peacock. I was just wondering if you were my son'."

i just fucking groan after i read each and every one of your reviews Bubba.**
i'm not sure what i ever did to get on your bad side, but i'm sure it involved something like not fellating Ginger McCallum or that 15 year old boy d-prime you tried to entrap in some kind of choir boy-esque relationship. whatever it was, it was worth it as being appreciated by you in any way always leads to creepy homosexual advances (see examples provided above)and i'd rather suffer through those reviews than have to fend you off, you sick fucker.
you make my skin crawl like few others ever have around here.

I can't whip your ass , chump, because I am 5' 2" and about 110 lbs.
Although, I have MANY friends who could kick your buut. But I consider you a piece of shit not worthy of my rancid farts. So fuck off.

i haven't attacked you or made any characterizations about you. i gave your post a rating and then, when you got defensive, explained why just to further try and keep myself from looking like some kind of arrogant douchebag or troll.
you responded with some 'noob inferiority' comment then a tampon reference.

Maybe saying 'widely accepted' was a bit of a stretch.

changed my mind about the rating upon finishing this.
you continue to berate the site for how bad it is, then you post a fucking ancient (and bad) joke? if you want to vocalize about the problem, don't immediately contribute to it.

'From what I've read, you can apparently post crap nowadays and have it widely accepted by the Uber community.'
Meaning it hasn't changed a bit since you were last here...or since the day you appeared for that matter?
