Lagtight’s obsession with me is very deeply one-sided and odd

Lagtight’s obsession with me is very deeply one-sided and odd

Not necessarily laggie but LOL, you just described you!

Since my original post wasn’t very nice I deleted it and chose to replace it with this:

I assume you are referring to my occasional rantings on shitposters like Lucy or, more recently, Juan, who you have seen fit to decide are protected classes despite offering absolutely nothing but hateful jingoism en absolute masse spamming the forum ad nauseum with the same repetitive bullshit

If my couple of posts every day or two mocking and demonizing their hundreds of posts daily offends you more than what they’re saying, unfortunately that says way more about you than your LOL GOTCHA says about me

I certainly I'm not 'obsessed' with you.

I am, however, intrigued by folks who post profanity-laced invectives toward anonymous folks in a politics forum on a poker website. Weird, I know.

In my opinion, you're a dumb, unfunny Trolly wanna-be.

Your could learn a lot from both Trolly and d2_e4 in terms of being at least an entertaining troll.

I could be wrong ofc.


I'm glad you saw the irony of your statement, SRM.

Ok, Jan

Is this an inside joke?

Whose Jan?


January Jones. I'm pretty hot!

Janet Elizabeth "Jan" Brady-Covington (nΓ©e Martin) is a character in The Brady Bunch. She was played by Eve Plumb in the ABC-TV series.

About Jan

Jan was born in 1959 making her ten when the show starts and 15 when it ends. She is the middle Brady daughter. Jan is shown to be very jealous of her beautiful popular older sister Marcia. Jan is insecure about having freckles and wearing glasses and is embarrassed about the fact she does not have a boyfriend, and even invented a fictional one named "George Glass". Jan always attempted to carve out her niche in the family or make a name for herself at school. Once, in envy of Marcia, she uttered the now famous catch phrase, "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!" Though Jan is often envious or angry at her oldest sister, Marcia is her best friend. Jan is close to all her siblings, but especially Marcia and Cindy.

Her buddy Lucy Winters accidentally calls Jan "Marcia" on a party invitation, and Jan thinks the solution is to get new hair. Of course, the hair isn't her problem at all -- everybody envies Jan's long, blonde locks.

Jan, like any insecure teenager, had to suffer through glasses and braces. She eventually gains confidence, and although she'll never be the cheerleader that Marcia is, she was liked well enough to be voted most popular girl at Fillmore Junior High. Even though Jan has announced that she wishes she was an only child, she really loves all her siblings.

Jan, as a child, was sometimes absent-minded, once losing the tube containing her father's architectural plans while visiting King's Island amusement park in Cincinnati. In her later high school years, Jan found she had a talent for painting, which likely led to her career choice as an architect, following in her father's footsteps. It took her a while to find out her own special talent, she tried almost everything, even being a pom pom girl. Once she failed at that she concluded she was no good at anything, until she later discovered her great love of painting.

Jan married Phillip Covington. The two met in college, where he was her professor. The two briefly separated but reconciled. However, they are unable to conceive their own children and, in The Bradys, adopt a Korean girl named Patty.


If a sitcom today told a story where one of the children went off to college and got with their professor it would probably be a big deal

It seems to be a mash-up of 'OK, boomer' and 'Sure, Jan.' In one of the Brady Bunch movie sequels, Jan falsely claims to have a boyfriend and her elder sister goes, 'Sure, Jan.' The relevant film clip is now a commonly used gif to indicate sarcastic disbelief. How you've managed to spend time here without encountering it I do not know. (I've never seen the movie, just the gif.)

I've probably seen it, but didn't connect-the-dots wrt to Spew/SRM dialogue.

Which would make sense, given that I'm pretty oblivious to lots of stuff.


The Brady Bunch movie is an all-timer.

The one with Shelley Long? I liked it when I saw it like 30 years ago.

He had to take time off from the forum a while back because anonymous people were getting him too riled up.

Totally on-brand (as the kids say).


No complaints about the ban. This is a private forum and can ban for whatever reason.

I will point out I don’t need female attention as I am in a happy long-term relationship, and I completely disagree with the characterization of β€œstalking” that was levied against me.

I will endeavor not to β€œharass” the mod I was accused of β€œharassing” by simply not replying to any of this person’s post nor will I criticize any of their actions/statements/positions/mod decisions publicly again.

I do think that it was worth pointing out the above as I don’t appreciate my name being dragged through the mud without an opportunity to respond.

Maybe there was a deleted post that I'm not aware of, but your temp-ban totally baffled me.

(But then, it doesn't take much to baffle me.)


It may have been a tad rash. I lifted it early.

Just like a woman to make emotional decisions.*
