Subject: Mansonites...
Please oh PLEASE stop calling all these lamers that wear Manson shirts and claim to be goths Mansonites!
You see, here in the real Mansonite community we also have poseurs. And those people are "poseur Mansonites". They are just losers who like listeing to Manson to stick out and then call themselves goths. They are not Mansonites, they are just losers.
And REAL Mansonites (who will never publicly call themselves such... 'cept in this letter) are forced to hang their heads in shame because of people like who who constantly indentify the ultimate lamest people in society with Manson. Believe me, we are just as emabarassed by those people even including themselves in the Manson Family as you are by them including themselves in the goth world.
Common poseur Mansonite phrases:
1. Marilyn Manson is my idol.
2. Marilyn Masnon is GOD!
3. MANSON ROCKS! AND ANYONE THAT DOESN'T LIKE MANSON CAN FUCK OFF!
4. I am a goth.
If you hear a would be Mansonite (as you call them) say something like this PLEASE identify them as the poseur they are. It's not our fault that these idiots also happen to like Manson.
But my real concern here is when you called "Darky Nosferatu" a "Spooky Kid." It was bad enough when she identified herself as such. You see, Spooky Kids are the old school Manson fans that remember the days when they were still called Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids or the people who remember him from the Portrait of an American Family "tour". These people are sort of repspected in the Manson Family and then they are disgraced by poseur Mansonites calling themselves such. Real Spooky Kids are in their late 20s to 30s (because in order to see a Spooky Kid's show you had to be at least 21 to get into the clubs and they all took place in the early 90s, do the math). I really doubt that these "Spooky Kids" snuck into a club at age 13.
So please, don't disgrace the Manson community by calling them Mansonites. They are as loathsome to us as they are to you. Please identify them as the poseurs they are.
Thank you.
Yours,
Very interesting, very interesting. I'm sorry if I offended the real adult MM fans, escpecially because I like the music of Marilyn Manson very much, too, and I really own most of their releases. In my opinion the term "spooky kids" has become a common expression for teeny MM idiots although it is not used in the correct and original sense like you explained. Therefore I will still use it to describe my MM Goth Geese but please be sure that I do not mean the original and old MM fans then. I have nothing against Marilyn Manson and nothing against the adult MM fans. I'm just against these MM poseurs whom you have described with your "common poseur Mansonite phrases".

hi,
nominator of all things funny, your sites really cool, not! Your an
asshole, sure the BlackNails page is shit, and so's the picture of me when i
first put make-up on. (Reason for Pizzary shitness)
But excuse me who the fuck are you to pass judgement, if you are indeed a
"real" goth (gratuitous Mr.Manson Hint's on page suggest not)
laughing at me with all the other "real" goths.
As a Goth, if you are one, then you would know that we have enough trouble
trying to justify our style as it is without someone like you taking the
piss. It's not funny and it's no different than the shit we get off townees.
Your not amusing anyone but yourself, you loser.
PEOPLE = SHIT
Yours,
HoHoHoHo, here comes the pizzaman! Reading your little letter has made me laugh at you again.

I like your site, funny as hell. I was on #goth in irc and i noticed a
person who was on (glitter goth) was featured in your site as a goth goose.
Of course i antagonized her over it and i got kicked. Not very nice if you
ask me. Just thought i'd tell you.
take care,

Yours,
Hi Gregory, thank you very much for your letter. Have you been on #goth undernet or which IRC network did you use? Well, at least you had an interesting meeting there. Hehehe!

I'm so glad you put this site up, Straylight. After reading through the first
few emails, I can see how many people despise you ::giggle:: but who cares?
Listen, little mansonites poser goths and kiddy winkies who don't know a
single thing about life, Straylight is just trying to have fun and if you
can't handle that, move on!! Your sites are getting more hits now because of
your nominations, isn't it?
Thought so...
So just enjoy your fifteen seconds of fame and delete guestbook entries that
you don't like. Or change the domain of your site.. Or, better yet, get a clue.
Keep up the terrific work, Straylight.
Yours,
Hi Pixi, thank you very much for your help and support. Good to see that a few people out there do still know what's important and what's not! These overdosed pseudogoths need to get a clue urgently.

really like it, I've bookmarked it, and I come back every
week to see who's the new goth goose. All I can do when I
come here is laugh my ass off, keep up the good work!
It's what keeps me coming back!

Yours,
Hi Michelle, thank you very much for your support. I hope you will come back again and again. By the way, I want you to know that I am not anti-goth and therefore I do not like it that my site is mentioned at the goth hate page since I am pro-goth.

I guess you were never a teenager, or oh of course i know, nobody liked you in high school because your pretencious and nerdy. why dont get away from your little computer and enjoy your pathetic life fat piece of shit. i call myself dark, not goth because stupid people like you dont want to be yourself, just want to fit in with a subculture. your a facist, conformitive fucker. By the way, only ugly people say its what on the inside that counts, and everyone knows it. oh well, i dont care what you waste your time with,

While you are probably still in your kindergarten class I finished school long time ago and study at a university since four years. By the way, I never use boring insults like you do and - LOL! - my English is even better than yours. Funny, isn't it? Besides I don't need any mail spamming from you.

Okay...reality check here. You are more sadder than all these people on this website. Why? Because
you pass judgement on peoples looks. Are you a goth? I don't think so. You are a pathetic townie
that thinks that expressionism is something that you can do as long as it's okay with everyone
else. WRONG!
I'd like to see a picture of you on this page so that the world can laugh at you at your
patheticness. I feel that you deserve it. However, really I cannot be bothered to spend my time
moaning on to you as I know you just won't listen and will carry on playing your pathetic little
game to make yourself look like something your not.
Yours,
LOL, you pathetic loser, if you had been strong enough to check out my whole site you would have seen that I have been a Goth Goose, too. Don't try to bother me when you do not even look at all pages. At least I do so when I make my new Goth Goose every week.

So you recieved an e-mail from Mr. Marlyn Manson himself(aka Brian Warner)
about your webpage. Ironic don't you believe, that he is soppose to be an
intelligent man, but his letter to you was not very intelligently written.
He probibly did not read your disclaimer before venturing on to your site,
another unintelligent thing to do. Furthermore if he actually read more
carfully at your reality checks, he would realize that you are making fun of
how they are presenting themselves, that they are stupid enough to think
Manson is goth and they are goth just because they listen to him. Since
Manson rejects the idea that he is goth, I don't see why he should have so
much a problem with your site. His over reacting has proven how much of an
"American idiot" he is as well as a mainstream popular icon, with no musical
talent to speak of, taking the spotlight away from real musicians.
Cheers Brooke

Ok, I've been a regular visitor to GGotW for about a year now, and I think I'm entitled to putting my 2 cents in here. Listen up kids, Straylight here isn't any nastier, or more forgiving, than the real world is on a day-to-day basis. Simple as that. The grown up world can be a harsh and unforgiving place to live in. So, if you get a bit of a bashing from this page; take the critisism, suck it up, and move on. At the end of the day, it's still just one page, and one mans opinion.
Yours,
Thanks a lot. Is there anything I could add?

Samantha Godbout wrote on June 25, 1999:
Subject: Autumn
I have one comment about Autumn. You quoted her as saying "Le Mieux"
was french for "the bat". Hello! I didn't skip a year of french and
end up in an AP class for no reason. The french term for bat is "une
chauve-souris". I even looked it up to be sure. "Le Mieux" is
completely in the wrong context. It is typically used as an adjective
or adverb meaning "better; the best, most attractive" and as a noun
meaning "the best". She is also using "le", the masculine form of the
word which should not be used when describing a female. Goth geese are
never the intelligent ones, are they?
Je suis la mieux a parler francais,
Samantha (not the Lucretia on your site)
Yours,
Hi Samantha, this is very interesting. Thank you very much for telling me. I am sure we can laugh even harder at Autumn now.

Over the past few monthes, I have made it a point to visit your site. Its qualities are endless. Even for those who are not part of the gothic sub-culture, it is evident how worthwhile your site is to those on the internet. Whenever im roaming the net late at night, I honestly spend hours upon hours exploring every part of Goth Goose. Never am I disapointed, keep the work up, and hope you like the person I submitted.

Not that I'm blaming you. You know- I'm going to nominate myself for the goth

I'm not a Mansonite, fang daddy, or spooky kid, I think, but I'm so NOT
goth)- I wear the black clothes, I wear blue jeans on occasion, I smile
*gasp*, I even listen to some mainstream bands! Egads! Anyway, we'll leave
the rest till later. What I wanna know is, how many nominations on average do
you get a week? (just wondering)

hey i was readin ur gothgoose stuff, and i was laughin my ass off. i
couldn't help but be reminded of this gerl on aol who told me a lil story
about her meeting a "vampire" in a grave yard in which she visits daily. She
described him to me as this, "he had fangs a black long coat, a top hat,
sneakers, and baggy blue jeans." she had no shame in saying this to me, and
also she believed he was the epitome of all that is "gothic". she's the
typical kind who listens to MM, korn, rob zombie, etc. mainstream shit, and
in her profile she says she enjoys "sinking her teeth into someone with a
beautiful neck" hmmm. i just fealt i'd share that with u, besides i had to
find some way of repaying u for the laughs.

Ha! I love this! I guess I'm one of the 'outsiders'. I'm not goth, never
claimed to be; people think I'm supposed to be because my site is
evilgraphics.com which is a domain name that started out as a joke (long
story; not the point). But I love reading this stuff. This site is even
funnier than the Cattygoths. I am so sick of the Rich Kids Goth Club
getting undeserved attention all the time at school, what with their
replacing the I's in their names with y's, talking very loudly (so the whole
class can hear) about the raves they're going to, pretending to be lesbians
and taking turns going out w/ the resident real lesbian, etc. But that's
just my messed-up area of this (cliche #1) FUCKED UP WORLD. Oh, well. This
