Late Night Shots

So I signed up for LNS recently and wow.  I mean, just wow.  There's enough fodder for mockery in there to keep 100 monkeys blogging non-stop for a year.  Wonkette is just hitting the tip of the iceberg.  The photos are the best part - it's like a worst case scenario of blue blooded in-breeding.  One guy's jaw is so big I think he could eat his own face.  Anyway, mockery aside, a few comments...

The site in itself is actually kind of a cool idea.  Bars are arranged by neighborhood and list nightly drink specials.  People associate themselves with the bars at which they are "regulars" so you can kinda get an idea of the scene at each bar.  The problem is: the people.  I mean, it's like a tractor trailer hauling duffeldouches jacknifed on the highway after colliding with a chartered bus for Hootie and the Blowfish, leaving the highway strewn with a bloody mangled mess of dead Hootie and used douche bags.  Hmmm... too macabre?

Anyway, I put regulars in quotes, because at least a hundred people claim to be regulars at The Bar, and yet I didn't recognize a single one of them.  Lest I sound arrogant, it is true that I would likely recognize you if you come to The Bar on a regular basis. 

Another beef: LNS apparently doesn't recognize Columbia Heights as a neighborhood.  Accordingly, they place Wonderland in the Mount Pleasant group.  Now I know you may be thinking "well why create a whole other section just to include one bar."  Ah, but aren't you forgetting Ruby Tuesday?  They have a bar.  I've been.  It's not so bad.  For watching a game anyway.  (Seriously, the staff is super nice).  And there's Rumbero, to which I've never been, but I hear it's nice.  Anyway, I guess I shouldn't expect these people to be too knowledgeable of 14 St.

Last but not least, I'm very proud of my profile.  It truly is a marvel of doucheyness.  It's douchetastic.  As is my friend H's, who, as it turns out, is a member of the Capital Yacht Club.  I did not know that.  I'm sure it's just a matter of time before they figure me out and revoke my membership, but until then I'll be ROTFLMAO.

This post is so turbo.  Seacrest out.

more info on the application process, please. how did you get them to let you in? did you make up a fake bio? did they not request a face-to-face interview at the cafe at Dean & Deluca? how did you infiltrate?!

What is the currect definition of the slang term 'Turbo'. I've always heard it used in multiple contexts.

Well cmon man, post some of the freaky crap. That segment of Wonkette is always good for a "shocked into silence" moment.

turbo=guy who tries too hard or appears as a poser

the irony is that every guy on there is a poser, so i guess they are relative degrees of turbo

It's peculiar because they're bitching about me getting on there to mock them, but yet also claim that I don't "get it" and that they're actually making fun of each other. I've also been called "not funny," but no, it is pretty fucking funny. And though most people are calling for my removal, one girl actually added me as her "buddy." At least one of them has a sense of humor.

Oh, and I have no idea what turbo means, nor do I care.

The LNS forum has many moderators who constantly monitor the forum and post under a host of different monikers. They have the ability to see IP addresses and can match up your postings under different names pretty quickly. The moderators have friends inside the forums so they protect certain trolls while exposing others, all without revealing their moderator status (they speak in vague terms about an administrator being able to see IPs). I estimate there are 3-6 moderators.

But these moderators don't have the ability to ban people and they don't have the ability to see the email address you logged in with. Admin is reluctant to ban people so you can get away with quite a bit. It is this freedom that makes the forum so popular, but it will also lead to its eventual decline.

"A hundred people claim to be regulars at The Bar, and yet I didn't recognize a single one of them."

Ah, that's because a drinker's definition of regular and a douchebag's definition of regular are different.

Bar Regular [Regular City Dweller, Noun.] Someone whose adopted livingroom happens to have kegs and rail liquor.

Bar Regular [Douche, Noun.] One who may know a bartender's name at [x] bar, and goes to that bar approximately one Friday night per month wearing an oxford-style vertical rainbow-striped shirt.

In that the thread where they are hating on you, they removed a post that was anti-blogger (it mentioned alexa ratings). Yet they don't delete anti-LNS posts. It is obvious the owners of the site believes" no publicity is bad publicity", especially since they happily link to anti-LNS writings on the main page.

Dead Hootie and used douche bags? Where do I sign up?

Now there attacking me as hipster, which is funny considering how often I make fun of hipsters on this blog. Full disclosure: I wouldn't recognize an Interpol song if it slapped me in the face.

Even after all of the discussion of LNS on Wonkette and here, I still don't think I get it. LNS_Troll's description seems like quite a bit of hassle for what seems to be not more than people organizing happy hours. What's the big deal?

"Do you want to go to HH tonight?"
"OK, bring your camera."
"I'll be the one with my collar popped!"

What am I missing?

It's actually even better than that. It's an opportunity to locate high density douchebag zones for ease of mass extermination of those motherfuckers. that's right. I said it. Final solution, biatches.

Semtex sounds like the V Tech sociopath and he shows such finesse in his use of language.
