    there's been a lot of talk and speculation as to whether bubbles actually exists.
    many believe that he is some of spirit that haunts boards, while other's believe that he is sh*tstirring script thats included in all bb software. some have even suggested that he's a fragment of devore's mind, used for posting stuff that a admin could never admit to.

    so join the campaign to find out:

    I think Devore created a Bubbles bot in the image of the late Bubbles.

    Where you really have to wonder (and probably be a little scared!) is when you realise that half the nicks on boards are Bubbles.
    And Bubbles is devore. So Devore pretends to be bubbles and posts, devore replies, devore/bubbles than assumes a variety of personalities and replies to the original thread and the subsequent posts.

    There is a psychology degree theses in there somewhere.
    And they say talking to yourself is the first sign...

    Aaaaa Now it all makes sense ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus


    Newbs...


    BUBBLES IS A GLITCH IN THE MATRIX!



    But in thinking, that could also mean he's a glitch in DeVore.
    Or possibly DeVore being the glitch?

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,576 ✭✭✭Kairo


    I believe he's real.

    But whats really gonna boggle yer noggin is..would he have ever existed if not for boards.ie?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,281 ✭✭✭DeadBankClerk


    bubbles ate devore.

    Quite possibly not.
    If boards had never existed, bubbles would have found some other way of manifesting itself in DeVore's subconscious.
    We could have had Bubina?
    But this would probably only manifest at the weekends.
    There for, I do not think that this would be enough though, as judging by the Bubbles we have in this reality, there's too much bubbles to only exist at weekends.

    During the week, DeVore would probably have had Bubbles coming out of his arse.
    Reeking of a Monty Python-Esque smell of sarcasm, and annoyance, much like the fat bloke in the resteraunt scene.

    But, if we were to judge the situation on that scene, if bubbles had only been coming out of DeVore's arse, and at the weekends as Bubina, this would also have been insufficient.

    DeVore would have burst before long.

    And this would have released quite an unimaginable amount of Bubbles. Possibly taking out part of a city.

    So, that is one possible outcome.
    DeVore would be dead.
    And there would be a huge black cloud of Bubbles looming over Dublin for some years to come... Not a pretty thought, is it?

    Another possible outcome, is if there was enough manifestations of bubbles to coincide with the amount in this reality.
    At some time during the summer, DeVore would become Porce Garcce... A blatantly homosexual immigrant, with a thing for Jim Corr.

    In this scenario, DeVore would have been deported before long. At which point, who could give a ****!? We'd be free!

    Although, there is the possibility that a rather bitter Porce would possibly gather up a small peasant army. And over-run a frightening amount of tiny villages.
    Also fueled by Bubina's rage over loosing all the "Phine Dublin Bais, wit der gold chains." And "Deh ghud Discoes."
    Seeing as there's "Nutin 'roond he'ay wurt boderin' 'bout."
    This could be a force to reccon with...

    And thus, is born Bubbam Husein!
    This madman would probably consume DeVore completely.
    Perhaps, there would be a little of him left, scratching to get out of the back of Bubbam's head.

    In the nuclear fire that would result of a failed attempt to pull the plug on the experimental "Bubbinator" project, 6 billion human lives would be extinguished.
    "Probably all a bunch of fags anyway..." He would mutter.

    Littletinyman's sarcasm still thrived.

    In about 80 years time, an uprising would then begin.
    Slowly they would sneak into Bubbles' fortress of Bub.

    The fortress would be destroyed with all the E.G.O. that had been stored in the back-up generators...
    A well timed T.R.O.L.L. sent the E.G.O. into a feedback loop, the resulting explosion destroyed the fortress.

    Bubbles pisses everyone off to no end by surviving.

    His head was seized, and then stored in an orbiting storage facility, hopefully never to return...


    SO!

    There you have it!
    If it wasn't for boards.ie safely containing the "Bubbles" phenominon, chaos, death, destruction and sarcasm would befall this earth.

    So, be VERY ****ing glad it's here!

    About 15 or 20 minutes...

    But it was WORTH IT! :)
    So enjoy it, I worked very hard on it.

    I wonder what DeVore will think of it?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,839 ✭✭✭bubbles


    But thankfully bubbles isn't restricted to the boards! bubbles has been able to spread his spawn of 'evil' to many other far corners of the net..... who knows what the future will bring.......
