Let It Snow

"Fly if you will, I shall make you no prayers to stay you."

"I should be a mean coward were I to give in to you in all things. Order other people about, not me, for I shall obey no longer."

He went not to the honourable assembly, and sallied not forth to fight, but gnawed
at his own heart, pining for battle and the war-cry.

The Spreading Stain: Join the RnSSS Street Team!

So, you've found you (or someone you might want to hear from) can't speak on a forum or blog relating to Ren and Stimpy or related people. The best way of having a large scale conversation is to get everyone involved. And so you are at RnSSS, where there is an open conversation.

Right now is a tremendous opportunity to get more people involved, as it has not been since Spumco.com's forums existed that so many people have been intentionally cut out of the conversation. So it is in your interests to promote this blog to everyone who might be interested. At your church youth group, at your favorite chicken and waffles, at your LA comic book store, at the animation studio you work at, at your birthday party. I encourage you all to make your own promotional materials to post or distribute at those or any other place you think people may be interested; the more black and white, the more text based, the more xerox-y, the more like it was made to promote a 3rd grade bake sale or find a lost scarf, the better. Use letter stencils, carve it in jack o lanterns, put a banner for it on a float in the Thanksgiving Day parade! Embed it as a fly on any videos you post to RedTube! The possibilities are endless! Here's something to get you started, if you just want to print something out and tack it to a corkboard (don't forget to cut between the URLs so people can easily tear off one at a time):




And remember, email signatures promoting this place are always a good idea.
Something like:

" Banned from a Ren and Stimpy blog or conversation?
Not banned but want to see who has been?
Try RnSSS for the rest of the conversation.
http://renandstimpyshitstorm.blogspot.com "

in any animation forum you may post in.

Gag Reflex (Comment to comment in "Artists Finally Win Some Respect and Credit")

Original commnet being responded to in:
John K Stuff: Artists Finally Win Some Respect and Credit

Mike F said: "I'll look for a retraction, but I'm not holding my breath. That would take class, character and intellectual honesty - traits that are sorely lacking in some (so-called) Ren & Stimpy "fan" sites."

If you have found other sites lacking, go to renandstimpyshitstorm.blogspot.com , where we have had a lively discussion regarding John giving credit. Perhaps you have been refused posting access at those sites you mentioned; feel free to add to the conversation at Shitstorm.

RnSSS, for the rest of the conversation.

Passing Out Nails (Harvey Eisenberg Compositions)

John K Stuff: Harvey Eisenberg Compositions

I believe this unpublished comment was in the Eisenberg thread, but it may have been in the Bigloaf, as it is general, and not linked specifically to the content of either post.

"John, I invite you to direct posters you are unwilling to allow to post to go to
renandstimpyshitstorm.blogspot.com
where they can post relatively easily.

Not In Your Hands (Capitalism's Aims comment)

Original post at:
John K Stuff: Capitalism's Aims

My comment, not showing up after two tries:

""Managers aren't there to make money for the company, have no natural loyalty to anything except their own personal success-their credits, their bonuses."

This is true of all individuals at any level. No one is there to make money for the company; everyone is there for themselves.

"One simple regulation that could help (and did once) - Distributors Can't Own Products Or Manufacturing Plants

I'm no expert on rules in general or politics and legislation but some things just seem totally obvious - espcially when they affect the business I'm in."

The trouble here is that that rule is already in place for the auto industry. Most/all states in the US require that car manufacturers cannot sell cars directly to the consumer. That's why we have a bloated dealership system, which does bring money into the local salesman community, at the expense of both consumer and car corporation. C'mon by and I'll drive you through downtown Detroit and you tell me how well that rule has helped things.
Then we can go north of 8 Mile and you can complain to Eminem that his music, made on his own with more or less full creative control, is more corporately controlled than Elvis under the thumb of Col. Tom Parker..."

Enjoy the Struggle

Welcome to Ren and Stimpy Shitstorm. Eventually this concept might become a standalone message board, but in the meantime, feel free to post comments that have been orphaned by being refused on message sections of other Spumco, John Kricfalusi, Ren and Stimpy, or related shows/personnel sites under the topmost post at any given time (excluding spam, credible threats of unlawful acts, posts which themselves constitute unlawful acts, or fan fiction; oh, and posts about APM, because those threads suck). The internet being a big broad place, there's probably other things that I'll refuse to allow to stay, and by saying that here I hereby disclaim being a hypocrite when it inevitably crops up. Feel free to post links to your own blog about how this blog fucking sucks.
