Just like a boil that's very ripe for the picking, this crab just exploded from out of nowhere with a thread shrieking for attention. Freedom of screech was hidden in his/her speech. S/he elicited varied reactions ranging from amusement to amazement and even to bemusement. A few crabs welcomed his/her scandalous Alimasag personality but some shrugged their shoulders, dismissing him/her as a lunatic entity (with a dubious sexuality) straight from the mental asylum of another message board.
S/he almost got the ire of some tanods, including me, because of his/her fondness for opening threads in the wrong forum. BadGirl and some tanods kept moving his/her threads either to the Tiki or Tawa ng Tanghalan where they belonged. Others were allowed to stay in the Town Hall, Kuwartong Sagrado, Gimik Corner, Tibok ng Puso and Byuti Parlor because they went to another direction … hopefully some place where there were road signs and maps.
Because of his/her queer personality and propensity to overuse exclamation points and ellipses, I got curious and re-read his/her posts and found intelligence lurking beneath. Satirical digs were dug by his/her unique shovel but very few seemed to notice those which were unearthed. And if ever they did, the crabs probably just armed themselves with nonchalance and tossed their talangka heads and went on their merry but crabby way.
I couldn’t remember anymore how we started our adversarial relationship but our FIENDship has grown into FRIENDship. The private messages we exchanged (though full of jokes unique to our off-the-wall personalities and not entirely different from what we’ve posted on the main board) revealed a respect for each other. Even if we are loud and proud, we stand our ground though seemingly sinking from others’ point of view.
His/her contributions to my thread Let’s Be Creative Via ABC Stories in Silid Aklatan show his/her tenacity and focus in making a mark. His/her hilarious Beauty Tips thread in Byuti Parlor reveals a creativity non pareil. Some have compared him/her to the now-missing Mr. Yosa but s/he’s unique in my book. To consider him/her a nuisance is sheer ignorance of his/her brilliance.
May I raise a glass and make a toast? gin_bulag, in my memory you will always jog.
