Nope, but then I kinda of just, appeared in a thread one day without any warning. Though I think someone asked where the box was in that thread.

No, cause if you want it, it's useless to box you.

what makes you think i want it?

i have in my hands three, count them three!, porno mags. one can only guess what i could possibly use that box for, but quite obviously, i can indeed use that box for something... so... since i can in fact use the box, boxing me would not be useless, correct?

and since it would obviously not be useless to box me, i must obviously not want it. =)
so box me. =)

I've highlighted the bad part of your logic. This calls for a substitute.

dammit! you posted that while i was writing this:
ok, fine then... you've left me no choice:

hi everybody! my name is silverDistortioN, but all the cool people call me Silver. so you all can call me silverDistortioN. ^.~

i do a comic called "scribble.", which hasn't actually been published yet cuz i'm still waiting for my account to be set up... >.>
it's a romantic comedy about an immortal serial killer... he's cute and, for the ladies, gets naked in the 6th strip! =o
...and for the guys, it's the funny kind of naked.

anyways... i'm new and i have no idea what i'm doing. ^.^


...you might want to wash that bag when you're done with me. >.>

oh, and about my logic... you said:
if you want it, it's useless to box you.
by YOUR logic, the only way i can possibly want it is if boxing is essentially useless. so you must be saying that YOUR logic is flawed.

Since it would NOT be useless, I must NOT want it is the same as saying

Since it IS useless, I DO want it.

Your logic is flawed because you say the box is useful to you and you want to be boxed, and then say that you only want useless things.

Jim was just pointing it out to you sans logic-mallet.

Everything works on logic. It's just that there are virtually infinite kinds of logic. ;)

gah! do you people have no grasp of simple logic!!! >.<

according to DM, wanting the box implies it being useless. therefore, if we know it is not useless in a certain case, then it must not be wanted in that case. since i can't seem to give an explanation that's easy enough to understand, click here. >.<

i never said i wanted to be boxed. i never said i only want useless things. i was using his statement as proof that he must box me, which he has still yet to do. comprende?

He Bagged you instead of Boxing you, though. That amounts to the same thing WITHOUT giving you the Box you wanted. So enjoy.
Faith is what credulity becomes when it finally achieves escape velocity from the constraints of terrestrial discourse- reasonableness, internal coherence, civility, and candor. Thus, the men who commited the atrocities of September 11 were neither cowards nor lunatics of any sort, but Men of Faith- perfect faith- and this, it must finally be acknowleged, is a terrible thing to be.

Cheap, cheap cardboard.
