DeviantArt is interesting. What makes it interesting, though? Art and forums aside, we have...

dAmn.

No, it's not a vulgarity. It's...

deviantART messaging network.

Thousands of deviants swarm in and out of this amazing network, a covey of...well... networks, put together by a team of bored people, with quite alot of computer knowledge.
(Oh, thank you, bored ones.)

And as we all know, funny stuff happens once in a while. Not when dAmn is concerned. Mad shit happens there all the time. Therefore, another group of bored people came together to form...

bAsh.

The DeviantART Quote Database. The database to track all the amazing jack-assery and overall nonsense happening in the place, as a classic, for future referrals by our deviant descendants to see that the first people to use the service of DA weren't exactly saint-like.

So now, another bored person comes into picture. This person is called Donovan.

He forms what we will call the...

Don's Guide to getting into bAsh (lovingly referred to as the DGGB)

There are many ways to get into bAsh, but here are some of the ways to truly be one with bAsh, young grasshopper...

- - - - -

1) Be WallOfTruth.

Ex. 1

2) Hurl abuse and insults. Just for the sake of it.


Ex. 1
omniomi>
So there are these three elves sitting around looking at themselves when one says "hey I bet I have the smallest hands in the world", he goes to the guiness book of world records and sure enough he gets in the book.

The second elf looks at his feet and wonders he runs off and comes back in the book for the smallest feet in the world.

The third elf feels a little left out... but then he looks in his pants and wonders... he runs off... but comes back looking really sad "WHO THE HELL IS WALLOFTRUTH!?"

If the label on the cable on the table at your house,
Says the network is connected to the button on your mouse,
But your packets want to tunnel on another protocol,
That's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall,
And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss
So your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse,
Then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang,
'Cause as sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang!

(10(i)Or not.)

E.g.
07:21:46 pm
