Loser Timepass
So, a few days ago all the lose bloggers in Sri Lanka got togther at Barefoot to get drunk and tell each other about how miserable their lives were. Anyone who was there could’ve seen why the Sri Lankan blog community is one big Pada Show.
Oh my god I’m so glad I didn’t stay there for too long. One look at the crowd, mostly frustrated, salivating, semi-human boys. It felt like being in a gay bar. I didn’t want to drop anything because if I had to bend down to pick it up I’m sure someone would’ve started humping me.
The one thing the whole Kottu crowd have in common is that all of them need to get laid badly. So they came to this blogger meetup hoping they would, and what did they find? Big fucking surprise.
I almost died laughing.
And what did they talk about? Blogging? Why? Because they have no lives of their own. Stupid pathetic socially inept freaks. When’re you boys going to realise your online persona is not going to get you laid? Ask Indi, he knows this well. But he still keeps trying. In the bushes on Mt Beach? How pathetic.
Oh well, at least these boys are spending time online instead of on the streets.

Oh bravo! I’m standing and applauding, I really am. For the whole weblog btw, not just this post. I’d also give you a manhug but you might take that the wrong way.
I like your blog, it’s very refreshing!
Ah – the voice of dissent !!! A good read
Awesome! a blogger taking the piss out of all the other bloggers… I like!
You know, I knew the kottu muppets would react this way to these types of posts. Now I’m depressed.
If you knew, then why be depressed? You’re clairvoyant! Rejoice!
If some people reacting in a way which you already knew they would makes you depressed then I wonder how you feel about knowing that one day a randy billygoat will rob you of your anal virginity?
[...] Pada Show, with wholly different viewpoint, and a great sense of humour. [...]
its nice…to see something other than just sweet talk. Ahh u didnt bash the .net and lugs. who the f*** captioned our pics as geeks in kottu. there’s some ppl mei wish u bashed.
Curious Yellow – shut your gob and go suck on your girlfriend’s strawberry nipples or what ever the fuck.
My gowd meya,
Aspa Ajith got a blog?
Shri Lanka is going to hell in a pan-malla aney.
What happened to his three wheeler ?Has he stopped betting on horses now?
If he has a blog what about his friend Cari-ponia who used to run marathons?He got a blog ,too?
Oooh, that’s a deep burn! Sounds like someone’s been suckling on mummy’s hairy nipples!
I guess breast isn’t best after all.
It’s not the fact I was able to predict the response that depresses me, it was the nature of the response and the fact the muppets fulfilled my expectations that depresses me. I know Iraq will continue to be a blood bath too. I know certain senior members of the SL cricket team will be undroppable no matter how they perform. I know Chelsea will win the Premier League. All that depresses me too. Just because you can predict something, doesn’t mean you have to enjoy the outcome. I would have thought that was basic common sense.
As for the anal sex, if you want my arse that badly chum, just come out and say it. You don’t need to test me out like that.
I didn’t know people said chum anymore! Let me guess? You’re a public schoolboy? In that case, your claims of anal virginity must be greatly exaggerated! And before you ask, sorry, I don’t do sloppy seconds.
If people having their own say bothers you so much, then why not go live in a place where people wont exercise their right to free speech? Or seeing as this is the internets, their right to voice their opinions like muppets?
If you knew the outcome would depress you, then you shouldn’t have clicked on the link that’d take you to their responses should you? Naughty boy.
And where did I claim to be an anal virgin? Wasn’t that your claim? Also, “Naughty boy” – you really would like it if I was wouldn’t you? If I was a naughty boy who was an anal virgin?
Dammit man, if you want to know if I’m free for some man loving, just say so and stop with the schoolyard flirting. I’m too old for it. As for the sloppy seconds, I doubt you get anything else deary.
Re. free speech, I’m not disputing their right to it – I’m moaning at the stupidity of much of what they say. Two entirely different things. As for clicking on the link, I guess I’m a glutton for punishment. I bet you wanted to know that too, didn’t you?
Wow. I didn’t realise that the Sri Lankan blogging community had evolved to the point where it now has an anti-blogging community.
That really says something, doesn’t it?
I’m sorry I insinuated that you were an anal virgin honey, forgive me for my mistake. As for the flirting, I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist it. You were so well spoken, I just had to try it on. In any case, you seem a bit too easy for my liking. Don’t you know it’s all about the chase?
The bad/naughty boy thing is soooo 1980s darling. It doesn’t harden my wand anymore. Maybe you should have a makeover? I know someone from Queer eye who could pay you a little visit. He could also teach you to not say things like “chum” and cure you of that loutish affection for football while throwing out your leather jacket?
As for your gluttony for punishment as you put it, it’s a bit self destructive no sweetie? Maybe you should seek out a therapist instead of moaning at the poor ignorant darlings on kottu? It’d save both of us some time. And you, a lot of heartache.
Anyway, Heavens to Murgatroyd, this is getting rather tiresome, Exit Stage Left!
“The bad/naughty boy thing is soooo 1980s” – Oh I don’t know, it worked for Spike on Buffy and as did the whole leather jacket thing; for both girls and boys. Look at all the slash around. I was more of an Angel man myself of course. I like a bit of meat on my men, as well as up them.
The thing with the football is it’s a great place to pick up a bit of rough trade, nearly as good as lame flame wars with wannabe queens. Of course, you wouldn’t actually fuck the rough trade, god knows what’s been up them, what with all the goat references and all. It just nice to know you can get the riff-raffs’ motors revving. And if there’s anything that’s out of date it’s playing working class when you’re not. Posh is back dear, don’t you know?
Final word from me – Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Not original but these things do become cliches for a reaason. Ta-ta CY at least you made this troll of a blog vaguely interesting, unlike the muppets.
elric,
It just nice to know
You’re a fucking inspiring writer, you know that? Go fuck a text book, and learn to put a sentence together, asshole.
Oh dear, a grammarian – http://redwing.hutman.net/%7Emreed/warriorshtm/grammarian.htm
Babykins, I make no pretence to being a grammar zealot, let alone a writer. Overall, I do think I make a reasonable job of stringing a coherent sentence together. Awfully sorry if a dropped apostrophe and s caused you so much heart-ache – I was typing a wee bit fast. And there I was fretting all weekend if my reaction to kottu made me seem a tad highstrung.
[...] However, something I noticed is that the comment threads on Padashow have become infested with totally unrelated flame wars. It really makes you wonder – why does this happen? These flame fests could take place on other blogs (which, incidentally, sometimes they do). But they seem to prosper on Padashow. Why? My only conclusion is that Padashow provides the right (anonymous) atmosphere for anonymous commenters to take the piss out of each other. [...]
Drama, drama, drama…….
You have fans man… You have fans!!!
Who the fuck is this Mahangu? I suppose your final year project in junior high is a thesis on blogger behaviour. Fucking assessing the damage and what not. Get outta here man.
Mahangu is a classics scholar/ Rower/ socialist/ Thomian/ Philosopher/ Journalist/ Christian/ Overall cool, beer drinking hacker/ Grammar zealot/ Leader of the online movement in Sri Lanka/ Web 2.0 enthusiast/ Writer/
He’s either a Renaissance man of Da Vinci like proportions or someone trying so desperately to fit in he’ll fuck any bandwagon going and wallow in any cliche shat out, just so he can confirm the fact he’s the man he thinks he is/ his groupies want him to be You decide.
Why doesn’t this surprise me. A bunch of Sri Lankans bashing other Sri Lankans. Why do you hate Kottu so much?
There are some interesting blog posts about this site, which I recommend reading:

So there was a blogger faction that was around before Kottu. Hell, you even had a meet-up long before Kottu did. Great! Good for you guys, you did something special and I applaud you.
You may or may not have started the blogging movement in Sri Lanka – but does that mean subsequent bloggers are losers? Kottu bloggers are no better, mind you, they look down on ZSri, who are subsequent to them.
If you guys want to slander Kottu and its bloggers, go right ahead. Kottu was never going to please everybody. I don’t like everything on Kottu, but I wouldn’t mock the people who are brave enough to contribute.
Nobody’s forcing you to read Kottu. If you hate it so much, don’t read it. The fact that you made this blog means you do actually read Kottu a lot, which is somewhat ironic.
I myself am proud to read all these diverse and interesting Sri Lankan blogs. The variety and the community should be cultivated so it can develop into something better.
Why are we like this? Why are we such a nation of haters? Why is it that instead of nurturing new kids on the block we deride them with an air of moral superiority? Every Sri Lankan wants to cut those who are above them – it’s a culture of petty jealousy.
We are never going to come up as a nation with this kind of mentality. We should be proud of our country and proud of what our people create. If there is room for improvement, we should help where we can, instead of ridiculing and sniping. Until we change from a culture of jealousy to a culture of pride, Sri Lanka will always be a very poor, backward country, with not much scope for the future.
I really think it would better if we can all get along and work together. The quality of many of these blogs (in all factions) is so high that it’s clear that there is an untapped talent of intelligent and fresh young minds in this country, that can uplift Sri Lanka to great heights.
I thought the reason I disliked kottu or specifically the people on it was explained in the post. As for reasons I read kottu, why not? I read newspaper columns whose views disagree with my own; I listen to political speeches espousing view that I find abhorrent. This endlessly repeated argument that you should just blank out just ignore things you don’t like online is silly. Kottu exists, it materially affects the Sri Lankan online environment and I have a right to inform myself on it and to comment. Hell, it’s quite possibly the same reasons some of the kottu people are reading this blog.
In addition, my annoyance stems from the fact that personal qualities in people that I dislike seem to manifest themselves particularly strongly in certain kottuans. I believe I have the right to comment on those on my blog and on threads dedicated to the same issue – hence my comments on Padashow. I don’t, for example, harass anyone on their own webspace and I ignore issues which I am indifferent to, for example the sexiness or otherwise of N. Sansoni and the talents of T. Holsinger.
This isn’t a question of who came first or otherwise, or any sense that making X blogger superior to Y. While your argument is heartfelt, you profoundly misunderstand my motivations.
[...] I’m used to getting random bile online, so I kinda forget that it hurts the first few times. Honestly, the best thing is not to respond to posts about you and let other people defend you, or let that thread die. If you want to post something for the sake of seeing it written that’s cool, but I think you have to take it all as a joke. Having someone hate on you means, to an extent, that you’ve made it. You’ve crossed some sort of threshold where you do attract the bad shit on the network. In moments of insecurity when I want to feel important, the things I remember are the malicious comments and threatening phone calls and stuff. It’s strangely validating. I don’t know how that works, but hate is tangible feedback that you’re making an impact. As the Head Walla said, ‘Wow. I didn’t realise that the Sri Lankan blogging community had evolved to the point where it now has an anti-blogging community.’ [...]
This-is-quite-true.
And couldnt help commentin on the football -its never over until its over. Chelsea havent won anythin yet and the last three games gonna decide. If thats depressin try makin some money enough to counter big Rome with $7 billion in hard cash. cheers
