All About Strotha

[Deleted]

My dear friend Strotha tends to get too down on himself. Sometimes he just gets too stuck in his own head, and he can't see himself through other people's eyes.

So, since this is a community he has been a part of for some time now, I felt like this would be a good place to conduct a poll.

If you have any comments, opinions, etc that can't be expressed through the poll only, feel free to leave them here.


I'll start.

I haven't known Strotha that long, but I am glad that I met him. He's insanely witty, and I have a hard time keeping up with him sometimes. His knowledge is vast, particularly within obscure movies (and lots of well-known ones, too). He's always willing to talk anytime, or drop everything to hear about your problems. He is incredibly selfless and will put other's needs well above his own.

He's very sentimental, and loving. He's a great guy and a wonderful friend and I am lucky to know him. Furthermore, he always keeps in touch, even if it's just a quick note to let you know that he's around, okay, and has been thinking about you. His love of the morbid is higher than my own--which means he always has something disgusting that I haven't seen or heard about yet. His tastes in music encompass all genres, and he has some fantastic songs up his sleeve, just waiting for the right person to show.

I never post anymore. I really doubt anybody remembers me, and whoever does remember me probably remembers me being a mentally unstable freak with an obsession with ginger girls.

This is totally and utterly crap. Go look through one of the last threads you posted in. It was about somebody coming back from an extended period away, and you posted. No less than two people totally derailed the thread to mention that you posted and then asked how you were.

That may be better than the way everyone knows me, as a mentally unstable freak with an obsession for girls with wieners.

No, I remember you as a general nice and friendly poster with an obsession with ginger girls. Which I also have.

Strotha has a very open mind for music and movies. You can discuss anything from Anal C*** and Eraserhead to Madonna and James Bond movies with him. He has a massive love of wrestling, games, and just about everything in some degree or another. He is not a snob about it, either. Arthouse films and popcorn blockbusters both get love from him.

He can be a little tough to get to know, but once you do, a much tougher person to dislike.

I miss my PM's with Strotha. Strotha is one of the nicest, interesting, smartest, coolest FAN members I've ever talked too.

[Kash Flagg]

We share a lot of similar tastes in film. Movies I'd figure 99.9% of this board wouldn't know he does know (I'd put DSR in this category as well).

Has never caused trouble here...always a plus in my book... and overall just seems like someone I'd have a glass of absinthe with. Of course we'd probably end up in a cemetery trying to add a couple bodies to it, but good times nonetheless.

In other words, he gets a thumbs up from me.

I always liked Strotha. Great, self-depreciating sense of humor and a good taste in music. The F.A.N Movie Club is currently doing "The Strangest Movie that You've Ever Seen" as its theme and I know Strotha would've presented a jaw-droppingly messed up movie, something from Jodorowsky or Lynch or Bunuel.

[SsnakeBite, the No1 Frenchman]

I think Strotha is a pretty cool guy. Eh makes dark humor and doesn't afraid of anything.


But seriously, Strotha's my homie. He maybe a mentally unstable freak with an obsession for ginger girls but he has a heart of gold and is a very intelligent man, far more than he suspects, with who you can always be sure to have an interesting and, most importantly, honest discussion. I appreciate his honest (but thankfully rare ) criticism towards some of things I say and do more than the obviously insincere flattering some other people have given me.

I remember Strotha. About Double Naught Nine we were fightin' some of them Ghoul out in the back of the Holy Land. Somehow or 'nother Strotha was impregnated by one of them demonses. Or demons with menses. Somethin'. DSR was there, but he was dressed up as She-Hulk and high on Ether so of little use to fightin' creatures of ineffable darkness. So happens this a common occurrence. Leastways in my life they is. Back to Strotha. Boy howdy was he upset with an epic baby bump. Or massive tapeworm infestation. Can't really slice these things cleanly at times. Still tried to handle the pump-action shot gun, before Bahamut rose from the sea and swallowed up whole. There was laughing like half remembered howls of regrets in nighmares long bidden. I had to wrassle down Banjo, cause them ghouls ended up lookin' to him like what he is so fond of, I told him to sit hisself down or we wouldn't go to Bear Country U.S.A, the word famous drivethrough wildlife park in the Black Hills of South Dakota that is celebrating it's 40th year. But he wasn't listening. And Strotha had to hit him with like five blasts of rock salt. Which was akin to how I was married the fifth time. But that ain't here nor there. All I know is I have a eyepatch now, and am fond of dollar store mouth watch, and keeping up my prized winnin' goliath bird eating tarantula's that Strotha won in a Tickle The Wifflebat competition while we were in Buenos Aires. Somewhere in there I died. Resurrected outside of the Sydney opera house, and there was my parents, telling me swinger lifestyle had merits. Which had nothing to do with why me and Strotha were in what used to be Mespotamia, fightin' off ancient Akkadian beasties, Lotan and the ghuls and other creatures of their ilk, Inanna threatened to unleashed all had died before, but I was using a leafbladed sword held by Gilgamesh as he surged forth against the ilk of Tiamat. The apex of this experience was an examination of the Chaoskampf as a concept, discussed while dining on the flesh, and comparing the trajectory of civilization from what we consider it's earliest beginnings, and how Joseph Campbell's ideas really talk to a shared psychology, similiar to the Jungian collective unconsciousness. Then Banjo farted, and we were faced with somethin' outta Dogma, except the pudgy guy in the trenchcoat bit it. Because he didn't do his cardio, rules one man, and Enkidu took the body away so that the pieces could be used to help fashion Tammusz once again, though he would have no piece in that life or the next...

And that was my vision question in the Mojave.

What were we talking about? Strotha?

He owes me a dollar. For... things.

I have nothing against him, in fact I was wondering about what he is up to, his post were very entertaining. God, I hope I am using the right pronoun.

Then again, I associate Strotha with a gangsta version of Strougher Martin. So that helps.

I haven't PMed you at all dude. However, I still remember having a lot of fun passing messages back and forth to ya. Dude, you're also one of my first friends here. I remember our first few interactions had involved the fanservice threads I made. The first two ones were memorable, letting me know guys like ya, not to mention the heavy activity those threads got in the early days.
