It has been nearly half an hour since this topic was bumped to the top with a gratuitous post that has nothing to do with the original topic, so obviously the bumpees are too busy to do so right now, so I thought I would help them out by bumping it for them.
If enough All Poster Forum members keep reading the words "Another Emovieposter Auction - Reprint Poster Sold as Original", maybe some more of them will start believing it.
I feel you Bruce... just like people will believe that talking Belgian is a plus if you want to be an expert and also national language of Belgium.
I knew it was a gag, actually I have heard that unoriginal gag about a thousand times! But gag or not gag, most of the time, the originator of this joke is always told by someone (usually a Belgian guy) that Belgium has three national languages (French, Dutch and German). The person speaking out got in the gag, he does this simply because, believe it or not, there are always one or two dumb people in the room who have no idea what language is spoken in Belgium, let alone Belgium... and that's actually when the funny part starts, when everybody gives an hollow laugh about the idea of having a dumb in the room (the dumb ones including). I was definitely not in the gag. My Belgian being between life and death at ICU didn't help neither. Do better next time, just like Bruce, time to update your database of gags, ahahaha !
Hollow laugh, just like this thread... hollow and somehow very awkward. Guys, you really hate each other !
I can see, this thread has turned into a battle between testeroned freak teenagers huge and pretty tense ---->

Hiya friends. Now just be honest about it. Did you ever consider the possiblity that your penis, and in the case of many dignified ladies, that the size of the titties themselves might provide elements of sub-conscious tension? Weird, twisted anxieties that could force a human being to have to become a politician! A policeman! A jesuit monk! A rock and roll guitar player! A wino! You name it. Or in the case of the ladies, the ones that can't afford a silicone BEEF-UP, may become writers of hot books"

As for Simes reply, I don't understand it !
"you aren't in on the gag.... "
"...and if we agree, we, and the internet, is an all inclusive environment, so as not to alienate any newcomers, would a brief sentence to explain encourage our brethren unto our bosom?"
Is this bible jargon or Afro-American vernacular English from minstrel ? I guess the second... but I fail to understand the gag here.
As for vernacular, I discovered it while listening to Thing Fish - "Done found some low-rent housin' in a one-dimensional cardbode nativity box on some Italian's funt lawn...bunch o' crab-grass underneath de offspring fo quick 'n easy sanitatium...shit! Y'all provvly be savin' up fo yo first LAVA LAMP putty soon!" (The White Boy Trouble) - or watching Airplane.

Anyway, I have just paid for my last package from EMP. I am done with posters! I came here daily and tried to engage, but for sure, this place looks a bit like entering a small town council, that place where people all know each other by name, keeps making inside jokes and have fun bashing, they know history behind every major posters... and show little appreciation to new comers. A small world indeed, let me ask, who hasn't fuck who here? Or a VIP retirement home... Are in still in the gag here ??
I shall reiterate what I said and what many said, EMP has offered great services over the last xx years I bought posters from them and they are very very accommodating and flexible; and their staff are good, proactive and nice. I have dealt with other posters sellers (not many, about three) and not a single one managed to beat EMP.
I wish a) EMP could prospect for some warehouses locally so that international buyers willing to hold their posters for a much longer period can do it at local warehouses against small fee; b) and allow me to keep account while blocking bidding for a year or so under Addiction Protection Act (if there is such thing).
I shall lurk from now on! Cheers!
