PerversionTracker Organizational Chart

There have been questions about who at PerversionTracker is real, and who is a delirious imagining of THE EVIL FORCES behind PvT, so we’ve whipped up this handy organizational chart to help you keep track of the executive team, employees, enemies, etc, etc, and on, and on, and so forth, vis a vis “partying naked,” and we feel compelled to provide you with an addendum at least mentioning that THIS IS THE SONG THAT NEVER ENDS!

PvT Org Chart

Clearly what we have here are the inner workings of Ladd's brain, with the requisite Naomi, Jan, Aussie Boy and Piglet Bob personalities.

This would also explain why there's Nutella coming out of Ladd's nose.

Well as I see it, this diagram is finally Perversion Tracker admitting that they are truly run by none other than ...

.... John Moltz. Well either that or The Entity?

Remember, you heard it here first folks!

Moltz,

You forgot to mention your connection to Lemurs (which are like monkeys), which in turn have a connection to RealBasic.

Anastasios Booby Chalcedonian,

We do not subscribe to your Moltzian blend of delusional fantasy and overestimation of the creative capacity of one man. We deny all charges.

And if you look really closely and study the chart very carefully, you'll see that it provides additional proof that there is a conspiracy surrounding JFK's death. Wait...
No, I was wrong. It's just a smudge on my Powerbook's screen. Stupid smudge daemons...
Hey, Moltz is secretly spying on aussie boy.

Whoops, my bad. Aussie boy is spying on Moltz! Stupid arrows.

Note that "Aussie Boy" is represented by an amorphous green cloud, whereas Ladd, Naomi, and Jan are represented by multicolored semicircles. Could this be a tacit admission of Aussie Boy's different existential status (i.e. non-existence)?

Posted by: Mike on May 17, 2003 11:02 PM

Aussie Boy is also not in quotes, like Ladd, Naomi, and Jan. HE'S FAKE, I TELL YOU!

Posted by: fuddes on May 17, 2003 11:13 PM

As we all know, things in quotes are more fictional than those without. (Like the "Internet")

So people like Ladd and so forth appear to be entirely fictional, if this diagram is accurate.

18 May 2003: Doubts about my existence continue to grow at the PvT community. Not only is it distressing to have one's selfhood denied, but the situation is beginning to manifest itself physically. The tips of my fingers are becoming transparent, and I fear that if this keeps up I shall disappear forever. If only they could see that I'm on a cloud (though hardly an "amorphous" one; I wish they'd buy themselves dictionares) because I'm not a Van Tol, and therefore am not one of the PvT core. Yes, I am a reviewer, but that doesn't put me in the engine room, so to speak. Hell, I live on another continent! I shall end here for now, but if you should find this entry, and never again find me, perhaps it will explain the mystery to you. Perhaps I should change my name from "aussie boy" to "marie celeste" ...

I'm reminded of the old saying: "One can always buy a new dictionary, but one can never buy one's own existence." And, having reviewed amorphous in the dictionary, I still think it's a perfect word to describe Aussie Boy's cloud.

Posted by: Mike on May 18, 2003 08:36 AM

Amorphous: *Without* a clearly defined shape or form. (Concise Oxford English Dictionary, 10th rev. ed., 2002; emphasis added)

Amorphous: 1a: Having *no* definite form. (Merriam-Webster Dictionary online; emphasis added)

Mike, I admire your work and, frankly, would love to have you children. And please feel free to debate the point further -- I love a good stoush -- but I would have thought that the clear black line around the edge of the clearly cloud-shaped form would have clearly defined the shape as that of a cloud. That would render it somewhat bloody-morphous indeed, I should think.

"One can always buy a new dictionary, and probably should."

Posted by: aussie boy on May 18, 2003 08:52 AM

What makes our English language so great, is that one word can have many different meanings... for instance, take "amorphous." Certainly, it can mean "having no definite form," but it can also mean "lacking distinct crystalline structure." I think it's plainly evident to the reasonable reader that Aussie Boy's cloud does not have any particular distinct crystalline structure. Perhaps one could expand the bounds of discussion further and observe that PvT in general meets the requirements for consideration under "amorphous" definition (3), namely, "lacking organization," today's pus-encrusted chart notwithstanding.

Ultimately, however, this discussion is obviously a frantic and futile attempt to distract the PvT readership from the real issue at hand: Aussie Boy's non-existence. I think we can all agree that Aussie Boy's credibility has been irreparably damaged, and no amount of quibbling can restore lost faith.

Posted by: Mike on May 18, 2003 09:14 AM

On this model of “amorphous," only Rowan Atkinson, R***b***c, and the PvT server look particularly crystalline.

John Moltz is an illusionary doppelganger perpetuated by Atkinson. Keep that in mind.

And speaking as one who abides in the semicircle of solipsism, I can assure you that Aussie Boy is painfully real, and we Van Tols are merely figments. Passing wisps of fancy.

So the remaining question is who is actually "running the show"? Or could this be considered a case of supervenience, where review-writing behaviors emerge from relatively simple rule-based automata, qua Wolfram?

Clearly the relatively central position of the Piglet Bob figure has been underexamined, and deserves further study.

Hey, don't forget about the cod!

I like cod. I like it with lemon and tartar sauce.

Posted by: Leibnitz, N. on May 18, 2003 01:43 PM

Mike, your persistence is admirable, your logic execrable. Crystalline shape my Aunt Fanny's arse! There are no curvaceous crystals?

To restate the correct case simply, the cloud shape has sharp, clearly defined edges. Therefore it is not amorphous. The shadow behind the cloud, however, is amorphous. Where does it begin and where does it end?

I also refute utterly any attempts to erase my bodily entity by denying its existence. If you thought I was feisty before ... well, let's just say that was before I was fighting for my very soul!

Fwahahahaha! You cloth-eared gits! You've let the dingo into the sheep paddock now!

All I can say is, using quotation marks to indicate that something is imaginary or otherwise not as it seems to be beats the hell out of using them for emphasis.

How do you comment on the Artesia Racer review?

Incidentally, Artesia Racer LOOKS like it may be a RealBasic product -- inquiring minds want to know...

Hey, everyone needs an 18-inch plastic miniskirt that can be worn anywhere -- weddings, wakes and funerals! -- and why not splurge on the wet look maid's outfit, the "one size fits all" micro-miniskirt, and the authentic schoolgirl uniform with virgin white knee socks?

Hhhmm... if you calculate the angle at every intersection of lines you can derive a set of coordinates that reveal the lattitude and longitude of aussie boy's computer. Let's see, carry to 2, "i" before "e", e=mc2, 10 x 40 (2)/ .0005 plus pi (3) equals= 789573894758934.......
