Community Member Spotlight: Furburt

[BehattedWanderer]

Ay mi, por supuesto, por supuesto. Yo debería haber sabido. Si no puedo encontrar suficientes limones, ¿aceptaría usted mangos?

Mangos quieres ser perfecto, camarada.

Sólo asegúrese de que vienen bien armados.

Nunca se sabe lo que esos perros sucios del gobierno está planeando.

Luego nos reuniremos con usted, mangos en la mano, en la encrucijada. Usted me conoce cuando se ve un hombre que viajaba en un sombrero.

Goddamn zombies, pretending they're fictional to fool me ...

Hey, some of us are proud to openly admit to being zombies!

I'm really glad[footnote]I'm using the word 'glad' way too much nowadays. I really need to pick up a thesaurus at some point and find a new word to say. Possibly one beginning with a 'q'. That's a pretty awesome letter of the alphabet. Where was I?[/footnote] to see such little hatred in this thread from the likes of Furburt being put in the spotlight. It has been nice to see how Furburt is regarded as a user change from 'dude who makes way too many threads, posts too much, is on probation all the time and is basically the new Max' to one of the more respected and almost definitely the most popular member of this community.

Congratulations for earning a spotlight and all. You have way more than enough recognition here to deserve it.

...perhaps someone else can tell me Furburt's reasoning.

It's Furburt. He doesn't need any of this 'reasoning' behind what he wants. I thought that was pretty obvious by now if you've read enough of his posts on the forums.

Así lo haré, compañero.

Que el espíritu de Gnaaros estar con tu.

Also, you're using Google Translate, aren't you?!

I can tell, because usually, you don't use the Usted formal tense unless you're talking to someone in a polite manner. Google Translate, however, tends to default to it, for some odd reason.

Couldn't have put it better myself!

And yes, I'm very happy that there hasn't been any bad blood on this thread.

So far, anyway, I mean, it's up for a week.

Still, fingers crossed.

Haha I don't mind saying that that's true. I know some, but that was more than I've used in a while, and wanted to make sure I was getting it right. Though, I usually use the formal usted anyway, because I'm odd like that, and prefer to show the respect to everyone, not just bosses or elders.

Huh, for some reason that reminds me of the Suiseki or however you say that character.

Always adding Desu to the end of sentences, in her obsessive quest for total politeness.

Eh, I avoid complete politeness. But, as an asshole, I prefer at least being a respectful one. I don't give a rat's ass about offending someone, but I prefer to at least do it properly. "You, sir, are an overflowing and bulbous bag of shit.", is much more effective than "you're shit". That whole formal thing is just kinda how I play.

Good strategy!

Plus, I can imagine you wearing a monocle while saying that.

Actually, anyone starting a sentence with "You, sir," deserves a monocle.

I've always wanted a monocle. Damn glasses keep getting in the way

 

[Mr.Pandah]

Cool. Congrats on the honor of being in the spotlight. You certainly deserve it...despite what people say. Just messin' with ya.

 

[Kungfu_Teddybear]

Grats Furburt gave me a good chuckle. But watch your back...i'm coming for that bacon!

anyhoo i'm looking forward to the next spotlight.

 

[Sebenko]

Well, that's pretty cool.

Congratulations, Irish dude.

When did this spotlight start?
And is it bright enough to hurt your eyes?

And more importantly, why aren't I on it? Or "why isn't it on me?". Is that right?

Ah, sod it. I have work to do. Which is why I haven't been doing important things like building my reputation through reviewing food. Maybe I'll get around to that next week when I finally finish that last exam.

 

[Zombie_Fish]

Couldn't have put it better myself!

You could've put the word 'need' in the second sentence between the words 'doesn't' and 'any' (an error I made which I only noticed after you quoted me).

And yes, I'm very happy that there hasn't been any bad blood on this thread.

So far, anyway, I mean, it's up for a week.

Considering how it's been a day already and the only slight bit of hate came from a misconception [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/6.200953-Community-Member-Spotlight-Furburt?page=3#6639688] about how this spotlight article works, I don't think that you need to be worrying about anything like that. Compared to how threads on people with high post counts used to go, this is really very civil.

With any luck it should stay that way.

 

[Frequen-Z]

Good job Furb, live long, and stay strong. Like Campbell's chin.

 

[Fraught]

Out of all the people with ridiculously high post counts, Furburt has always, to me, seemed the most likable of them (I hope the others don't hunt me down now...), and I'm glad he got onto this installment of "Community Spotlight".

...what is that noise I hear outside?

Oh nothing, nothing...*Lowers torch and axe*
[sup][sup][sup]I will deal with you later...[/sup][/sup][/sup].

...So, what about that Furburt, eh?
Smashing guy.

I saw that comment and then saw your avatar.

I found this rather entertaining.

Finally, that attention whore, Furburt, got what he deserves(a bacon hungry, mad, mob, ready to do his bidding, at the cost of bacon of course).

Joking aside, I'm glad he finally got what every teen wants: love and attention(how do I know this? well I'm a said teen myself).
I hope he doesn't do anything wrong to get banned. It would be a shame, a nice guy like him; although he doesn't like bacon...(I'll let the escapist mob decide his fate)
