The best thing about gongs is that they go GONG when they're gonged.

Am I the only debbie downer who thinks they shouldn't be littering?


Maybe there's a ball boy to come and get them all out of the water...

To hit the GONG, one must first hit the BONG!!

Right, because otherwise any ol' amateur could pull that off in two strokes or less. </sarcasm>>> ^Retroboy:

They made it artificially hard by doing it on a choppy lake. One wrong ripple and your ball changes course.
Still, was one heck of a shot and a nice sift.

this weakand im gong to rite a westy spellcheker addon for gogle crome that wil atomically mak my posts luk lik this.

WTF to say the least.
Where is the Gong Show when you need it? This is not art, it is trash. Sadly they spent a lot of time to practice this. There's a good resume bullet.

Please pastie fall off Please just one and this show is redeemed.

I like how it starts to clang the funeral gong for itself.

Correlation is not causation, as they say. It could be that things are peaceful because @BillOreilly, @CaptainPlanet420 and @choggie's evil personality were all banned. Not to mention, we've also kept some otherwise well(-enough) behaved sifters in line with suspensions; @quantumushroom, @blankfist and the always-villainous @schmawy come to mind.

SQs used to be way more lighthearted, too. Dag has not begun one with the ringing of the gong and donning of the hat and robes in quite a while. I don't understand why so many people have a hissy-fit over someone bringing potentially inappropriate actions to light.

I would like to say one more thing. And look, I'm not as active here these days as I once was, so someone please let me know if I'm mistaken. But it seems to me that the site has been refreshingly drama-free for the last couple of months. Does no one remember what it was like here (especially in the sift talk section of the site) during the height of siftquisition-era videosift? Constant drama and acrimony, fights, hurt feelings and the regular public spectacle of the siftquisitions themselves. I seem to recall that at least a few people left the site for good as a side-effect of the drama-heavy siftquisitions. Why would we want that back? Especially when it seems like (to me, at least) everything's been going so smoothly since siftquisitions were removed.

I wanted to divorce her and I don't even know her. Jesus fucking christ what is she gong to do when someone she loves dies. Now that I wrote that I feel bad for her. Now I am depressed.

>> ^Nithern:
Anyone know exactly what this demonstration was about or in regards to? Or what the police officers are doing in gear and marching to disperse a crowd?


Yeah, at first I found it odd that nowhere in the description here or on youtube is there any hint of what the protesters were on about. But after a little digging it seems that it was a protest of the G20 meeting. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/27/world/27protest.html?hpw

What makes it confusing is that a myriad of groups, each with their own very different causes are protesting at the same time. The guy on the loudspeaker is apparently 9/11 conspiracy theorist (from youtube description). There were also anti-war protesters, free Tibet protesters, Palestinian occupation protesters, anti-capitalism protesters, environmentalists, Falun Gong (an oppressed Chinese religious group) protesters, anarchists, and a steel workers union. . . protesting something, I'm guessing people not buying enough steel.
