"Jack and Calumon" Appreciation Thread!

[Jack and Calumon]

Well, this is an unexpected but delightful surprise. I spend the day redecorating my bedroom, almost do my back in in the process and unfortunately could not join the party until everyone had eaten the nachos, guzzled the punch and stole my wallet, somehow.

I guess I say thanks. This doesn't go unappreciated. Brightens my day, even if I don't quite deserve all the praise you've given me. Flattered nonetheless.

So, ummm... thanks!

Fun fact: This was around the time I posted that "Should I keep Calumon" thread when I was filled with Fluoxetine and hate. At least no-one had somehow figured out my E-mail address at that point. That was very strange, and I wish it wasn't a troll that did that. That would have been deadly if that happened a few months earlier.

I need to get back the candy he stole from me.

Calumon: I would, but I ate it. :'(

I allways like reading Calumons posts ... not Jacks though

*grabs popcorn* "this should be good"

I didn't realise that silly forum gimmicks were worthy of dedication threads. I especially liked "the fruits of his labours" and "he has taken it upon himself to brighten up people's day in this place that can so often be full of dank swaller."

What a hero. Truly a modern day Prometheus.

I really don't get it.
Especially recently when it seems like most of his posts are him raging on Activision or what have you incredibly harshly, being one of the most negative posters ever, and then having Calumon go "I LEIK CAEK" or some such.
Doesn't seem too funny.

Jack is cool, true. But Calumon is just plain epic.

I have no idea why, but whatever Calumon says always, without fail, makes me giggle. Funny little creature.

Really? An appreciation thread for a blatant attention whore?

Never was a Digimon fan, and J&C's posts always threw me when I first saw them. I think my current opinion is that it's a little childish, bringing your roleplay with you everywhere you go, but it's harmless and amusing. Often Calumon's comments are quite funny, and they're both more than friendly enough. Quirky and unusual individuals bring more to a forum than hostility does, so I guess all in all I appreciate Jack and Calumon.

Childish? Yes. Endearing? Yes. Has he/they made the Escapist a better place through a simple persistent behaviour within the community? I sure as hell think so.

(I also agree it'd get annoying if anyone attempted to imitate it. It only works while it's unique. I have no objection to other types of "novelty" user, though, provided they each bring something interesting to the table and aren't doing it for the attention.)
