In the last few days, kwerkey's birthday thread and MissCheetah's introduction thread have been very popular and hideously off topic. So rather than crap up other people's threads or make a bunch of individual threads full of sillyness, I made this...Thread #2864. Feel free to post whatever pops into your head, no matter how silly or pointless.
I spent about five hours playing Final Fantasy IV today. The graphics are so-so (far below other PS2 games, at least), and the sounds and music are primitive, but the game is still pretty #### cool. When you don't have much to work with in terms of what's on screen, there is a lot more focus on the story line and other such imagination based things.
Does anyone else have a game that's a little old, but still a favourite?
*falls asleep*
*sleeps with you*
I am still a Diablo 2 fan even though I realize that it is mostly pointless mouse clicking. I enjoy mindless destruction sometimes though. I really should learn to play Baldurs Gate 2 or Black & White. I have both. I am off to play an old game today. D&D. I have a half elf mage/thief. She is very cool. I am also not really awake yet. *stumbles off in search of more tea and a shower*
Every day my heart dies, and every morning it is reborn. Enough to limp through the day, a zombie of a soul. Each day is consumed by the choking greyness of the void within me. I pass by people, carefree, enjoying a walk, going about their daily lives, and I resent them and their trivial concerns. I hate the sun, it is no longer my friend, I wish I were blind so that people would pity me. I am drowning, and the ships passing by ignore my cries.
Maybe I will earn, instead, an unacreddited college degree (5149)

Of course the graphics in FFIV aren't terribly good. It's a Super Nintendo game.
But man, when I get some free time, I've really got to get around to playing that some more.
"I am still a Diablo 2 fan even though I realize that it is mostly pointless mouse clicking."
The only reason I was playing FFIV is because daav's girlfriend was playing Diablo II...They are both a lot of fun and very relaxing due to thier somewhat simple natures.
Korivak - You had originally made 3 posts in 8 minutes. Why did you just includer all three statemnts in the same post? Why?
Because he = evil.
And Osiris made me laugh. In a bad way. In a sort of "God, this man needs something to look forward to." If I had the ability, I'd give him happiness.
On a brighter note, I ate a raw clam.
SHUT UP, IT WAS GROSS.
First, I laid out the general idea of the thread, then I made a post to start discussion, then I made a post to set a precedent for random, pointless silliness.
It seems to have worked well, because now there are some people talking about old games, and Lord Trey being silly and on a different topic (but not actually offtopic).
I always have a reason for what I do, no matter how strange it seems at the time.
Oh, yes, and I was trying to get in the Top 40 posters, which I did!
Oh, and 200 posts and I've beat Tossy. =) 900 and I'm in the top 5!
If Osiris' post was 'silly,' then I suppose I could note that it's 1:00 PM, and I just woke up -- feeling completely alone, despite the people around me.
Things don't have to be silly...
Go get a hug from Sam!...
Worship it
Yeah, I'm here if you need me. =)
I may be going out to buy socks later, but I'll be here most of today.
I don't want to hug Sam!.
Fine fine... No hug for you then.
I'll just hug... Brawnfire.
I am Naked
I can't let Rob and Russ have all he fun, now.
Ahh! My eyes! They burn!
...Subtle...
holy #### that was a big font
I don't recall saying it was silly, Shawn. I laughed in a bad way. A sympathetic way. Don't make me castrate you.
*huggles Sam!* (I am also naked.)
"holy #### that was a big font"
CSS beats <font> any day of the week...
I really am quite a depressing fellow. Come, join me in my dark little cranny underneath the stairs. It's been raining, and the smell of bloated worms is in the air.
*hug*
*leaves to get naked and wet*
Beat that, kwerk!

No. I do, however, have smileys!
(Edited by Term at 8:17 pm on Sep. 8, 2001)
You stole my smilies! *whap*
=]
ugly.
(Edited by Term at 8:17 pm on Sep. 8, 2001)
*cough* owned by PSP.
Good. Term will finally be banned.
You know, I was just thinking in the shower: "my thread really, really needs some big ugly graphics so that it can have a hideously bad horizontal scroll..."
You know, that is a good idea.
In other news, my room gets so unpleasently hot with KC runnning for weeks at a time...I'm going down to the (significantly cooler) living room to play FFIV very soon...
Hrm, how do I make the background save as transparent in Paint Shop Pro 7? I have it set as transparent background, but if I save it as a gif it just always turns it to white?
Ahh, much better...thanks.
Yes, but by editing the image and not the post, he has cleverly covered up his stupidity, and now he won't be banned!
As long as I don't have to wait until page two to have my thread work properly again, I honestly don't give a shit...
*cough*
He was actually linking those pics off of my website, henceforth it was me who made the horizontal scroll bar so long (not purposely, I didn't mean to make the image that big when its repeated, forgot it was repeated)
It's ok, I still love you...
*poof*
Yes, but he also linked to the same image about five/six times in a row, and then posted the link again in a post almost directly below it. Neither post contained any other content (excluding a smiley) outside of the images...
Oh well, as long as he isn't here I'll have fun changing around the images some more.
**giggles**
Noo, just when I had finally completed my image!
Final Fantasy Tactics kicks so much ass.
I only got two problems with it.
A) Why is the drawn character art prettier than the character sprites?
B) Where the #### are their noses?!
\n\nRED MANTLE WIPE!
*Squints*
I think Vash is actually Tossy...
why?
5 words: This is NOT a thread!
why?
Because, um, they're both fat...
The guy's made seven words in three posts! How can you get any pattern (s)he's like Tossy?
*Sighs*
You fat people are so narrow minded...
EotN, for something that isn't a thread, this suspiciously looks like one!

You don't remember? Hmmm...maybe 'twas before your time...
I guess I don't. Maybe 'twas before my time. Did it happen over a month ago? *grins*
Not sure, but I wouldn't be suprised if it was over a year ago ;)
Mantits, it was a rather silly (yet massive) thread which commenced in the older version of this forum (a very long time ago) in which people would type sentences with the word 'NOT' (in capital letters) in them. This word was meant to be ignored. If I were to say 'Nighteye is NOT a twit,' for example, it would mean that I am stating that he is, indeed, a twit... It grew old, fast. At least, I felt it did...
Oh yes.
It was NOT amusing.
Well, atleast the first page was NOT.
How many pages did that 'NOT' thread have before it disappeared? Twelve? Sixteen?
I don't know. First one was one of the most collosal threads in Rstefan01 history, second one was about 6 I think.
That sounds nearly NOT fun. *grins*
mm'kay beta, that sentence doesn't make much sense with or without the NOT.
I am in love with a girl that has a boyfriend.
I like cake =D
*grins slightly* Oh, doesn't it, Term?
Nope. And any "secret new world order hidden meaning that only the four horsemen can understand that will eventually bring about the ultimate destruction of the world and all civilization as we know it once it is properly identified by common forumers, and if we were to realize the horrible, HORRIBLE truth behind all of Betamantis' posts our simple human minds were to instantly snap, because the unearthly secrets that are hidden within those plain words are so utterly maddening they were never meant for mortal eyes to see" crap passed right through/over me, too.
Now there's a sentence that makes absolutely no sense! I don't think he even closed the quotation mark!
Well, I guess i didn't make much sense, but i did close the qoutation mark. Read through it a few times and you will see the HORRIBLE ASTONISHING TRUTH and the meaning of life and stuff
I don't see where you close the qoutation
Nah. I don't think I will.
Right after "see" and before "crap". Hyphenation would have made it clearer. But it made me laugh.
I don't see how my sentence doesn't make sense . . .
I think it makes sense.
It goes from almost not being fun, to almost being fun.
In other words, it doesn't sound fun 
I said it doens't make Much sense,
because it'z teh inc0rectz gramm0rz.
That sounds nearly not fun
Hmm. Nope doesn't work.
That sounds nearly fun
Nope, not this either. "That nearly sounds fun" would have been correct though.
Ahhh, well that doesn't make cents :)
I just washed cars for 6 straight hours.
Commmunity service sucks. Especially forced community service.
But it doesn't nearly "sound fun". It sounds "NEARLY fun".
No cents indeed.
Now that we're about as far from the non-existant topic, I'll just post these SECRET links to StarCraft II pictures..

Well, I suppose I could explain the origin of that infamous incident. I was in the mood for creating a piece of art, and somehow thought about a painting from monet, depicting a pipe, along with the words: 'ce n'est pas une pipe'. Translated: This is not a pipe.
Which is true, as it is actually a painting of a pipe, not a pipe itself.
So, then I got the idea of making a thread titled 'This is NOT a thread'.
That, too, is true, as it is only a sequence of zeros and ones, converted by the computer into an image that is called a thread. The factual data of were the post ended up, however, was not a thread; only data yet to be interpreted.
It shows how unaccurate people can be in their wordings, their interpretations...*grin* Monet's painting more so than my variant on it, though...
*calls Geoff and talks into phone* Yeah, ever heard of the person with the alias Term?
*continues conversation*
*gets on the phone to listen in*
Ms. Cleo? wtf I thought you said Geoff
'*Zip*'
'Aaaah! Captain Janeway! My forehead!'
Aww ####, you beat me too it! Time for some hot Fatboy lovin'!
I sent betamntis some love mail via the forum messenger =D
Now, who's eating the beefcake off of who, Prophet?
*Posts because this thread seems to have fallen off the list*
*Meep meep*
Ditto...
It hasn't fallen off, it's merely at the end of the threadlist! Ph33r not, for when Matt's craptacular code is replaced, all will be well with the world again.
Wait... Matt coded this forum?
Matt, THE IB GUY, Not Osiris or anyone from *this* forum.
Anyways, I've released a patch.. stupid Matt..
IB's around the world crashed.. and who's gunna get the blame for the stupidity? yea, me.. stupid matt! Let's kill'm!
Oh, I thought he meant Matt as in Korivak who had just posted.
And how soon do you think Rich will have this foroom patched again?
Whenever Richie gets online
Tossy has his fixed already.Edit:I cant type
(Edited by Big Z at 11:36 pm on Sep. 8, 2001)
See, if Richord would appoint someone else as secondary server guy, we wouldn't have to deal with his new job/social life screwing up our random threads.
Yeah, but the only person that I'd give access like that to is Ryken, and he doesn't really know much about Perl.
Oh, and, Ryken.. you're not getting access =)
lol
Rich = funny
You could write a perl script that works like an FTP client, so that you don't have to give out your real FTP user/password.
I'm crazy for trying,
I'm crazy for crying,
and I'm crazy for loving you.
I think you're crazy, maybe
I think you're crazy, maybe
I will see you in the next life
Thank you, Rich and Matt...
*squeak!*
Time to get something to eat so I'm well nourished for a long day of posting and CSS coding...
*click!*
Well I just woke up, I was happy. I came online, and I became sad. The End.
I don't feel all that welcome here, that is why I don't post here often.
What's so sad about online?
because it is so quiet.
That makes you sad?
*makes lots of noise*
*faint smile*
If it makes you feel any better, the reason it seems quiet here is probably cause people are sleeping in and whatnot.
That, and there's no voice chat room.
actually it hasn't anything to do with that.
*goes away to study*
On a more f(th)rustrating note...SKINNING THE DRIFTING VAULT IS SUCH A PAIN IN THE MOTHER HUMPING, FATHER LICKING, SISTER RAPING, BROTHER SCREWING ASS!!!
...that is all...

I love you and all your tags. Especially that one. It's got a pair of real nice attributes on it. You're a dirty little tag, aren't you. Oh yeah, dirty little tag...

Speak nothing further, lest your eyes be scooped out and shoved in any convenient orifaces you have.
"I love you and all your tags. Especially that one."
Technically, that's an attribute, and technically, you are a moron. That is all.

On another note, you know what word always bothered me? Scissor. I personally call them "biknives".
Korivak
Now, now. Just because you only have attributes while everybody else here has tags is no reason to take it out on me. If you give your attribute the attention it needs, eventually it will grow into a tag. All it needs is time.
No, not here. For Hod sakes, there are child elements watching.
HOLY ASS CRICKETS! BRAWNFIRE, WHERE'D YOU GET THAT PICTURE OF BRODIE?! (Kevin Smith is god.)
So he is...I love that random picture, too.
In other news:
...Little Red Riding Hood as drawn by Random Crispy!
This Random Crispy fellow is an odd one, he is.
Well korivak! that is an interesting shirt!
I love you and all your tags. Especially that one. It's got a pair of real nice attributes on it. You're a dirty little tag, aren't you? Oh yeah, dirty little tag...
Where the #### is your other hand!?
"Well korivak! that is an interesting shirt!"
I only drew the bra...everything else was Random Crispy.
Oh. So the only part you added was a little black line.
Yup, but I'm also hosting and posting the thing...
He also forced Random Crispy to make the breasts smaller, because initially... Well...
*shudders*
Well, if he hadn't added that, how do you expect that she'd jump out of trees and stuff and still maintain her dignity?
I'd say Kor had a very important role in that drawing!
heheh.
I can imagine him saying:
"The breasts are too big"
But they really were...I'm not just saying it out of CWAL tradition or anything...
He also forced Random Crispy to make the breasts smaller, because initially... Well...
*falls over laughing*
Actually, "The breasts are too big" was my initial reaction as well.
Granted I was going to say that regardless, but yeah...
But really though, There is no such thing.
Triple-Anal Schoolgirl Fistfuck Vol. 3!

At first, I thought they were shoulder pads...then I thought they were armour chestplates...but no, they were just very poorly drawn, massive breasts...

You know, sitting on your elbow in that fashion might explain it.
Hmm, you could be right...
I think I hate this thread.
Then don't read it!

Well then, add something fun to it!
Shut up!

On another note, I'm working on my resume right now, and I'm going to check out a job witht he Canadian Mint! Looks like a pretty sweet job, and I'm perfectly qualified for it.
Wish me luck, eh?
Good luck.
In other news, a certain some one is stealing all the posts with promises of sock pr0n. But I won't let my baby #2864 die...never...
*evil grin*
Hey, I'm posting! Job at Mint! Sounds good! Remember?
Umm...would you believe I can't read?
I also blinked.
For crying out loud... People say I'm the one who needs the glasses...

I wouldn't be so certain that this thread will NOT be locked down...
This thread won't be locked down. It keeps the random off-topic crap mostly out of the other threads. =P
So far, so good...but it is just a silly thread on a silly forum...I think I could live without it...
So you are led to believe. In all actuality, other thread go just as much off-topic as they ever did, but people are less aware because they believe it's less off-topic. Furthermore, this thread trains posters in off-topic posting, which increases the chances of going more off-topic in other threads, and noticing it less through acclimatisation.
Think about it ;)
The thread that got closed today was only so because there was already one in the forum, it had just fallen off the threadlist.
Thank you, NightEye.

One of the alternatives would be to fight fire with fire, AKA post off-off-topic. Whenever off-topic posting occurs...
That's what we're doing. Just we're making a thread for it.
No, you misinterpret. Off-off-topic isn't simply another off-topic topic. Off-off-topic is not off-topic.
Since this is a nice and off-off-off-off-off-topic place to post this,
and
hahah, fucking hilarious.

I always liked the one about MAGGOTT and happiness, Pez being single, which Slayer (GAVAL or Buffy) do you find more attractive and of course the one where the civilian is standing in a grass plain and it says "We're outstanding our field."
With all this sock pr0n and sex scandels and such, I'm suddenly tempted to get a web cam...
*steals Sam!'s*
Well... that pic of Red Riding Hood is... interesting...
And Vek...
ALL HAIL THE SALAMI-AND-CHEESE SNACK PACK!
Random Crispy drew Red.
I didn't SAY who I thought drew it; I was hoping that the person who did would know.
This is one of the more confusing things about an ikonboard.
Nice job, RC.
can't get more offtopic than this.
(Edited by VéKTöR at 4:37 pm on Sep. 14, 2001)
Where can I get one?!
Hmm.
It's a claymore in the image of a video card.
Yummy.
Random thought: Tridus at one point posted that he was bisexual in a prank to confuse the various forumers on April Fool's Day. At the time, many said 'Oh, I've suspected this for a long time!' based on his musical tastes and so forth.
If I were to post that I am a closet bisexual/homosexual, would I garner the same reaction? 'Oh, Shawn acts so #### fruity that I've suspected this for a long time now!' The sad state of affairs is that I am perfectly straight and quite confident in my sexuality. But, still, I wonder how people'd react to such fake news...
Probably would get the same reaction after Random Crispy posted that picture that Sam! took.
I wonder what reaction I'd get if I posted this here:
>=)
If you keep posting that, I'm guessing you'll eventually get banned, and since Rich seems to like those new 90 day long ones, I'd be careful...
Hey, I'm just trying to catch up to Shawn.
Plus, I have yet to post it in a serious thread. =P
Great. The return of the sock pR0n.
Well, there goes my will to live.
You know who has the lamest nick? Sexay Shawn...I mean, he didn't even bother to change his name or anything. At least Psycho Sam!'s real name isn't Sam!.
I'd hurt you, but evidently you're joking! So I will just continue eating my snack cakes.
SNACK CAKES!
I like dislike pain, but like snack cakes.
*dances*
I'm evil, so screw me!My nickname is based on truth, and has universal appeal, Korivak. So suck on that.
And Blinky, I can punch you any given time that I so choose to, and currently, I'm leaning towards punching you at the next available time when you are asleep. So, I would suggest you stop posting that picture.
What picture?
Die.
This one.Devil cremes?
You know that any product with the word creme in it doesn't actually have any cream. Or creme. Or whatever.
Screw devil cremes; I want some wafer bars.
This shit is GREAT.
First point: No, Brawnfire, I will not have sex with you! Do you believe this guy? I'm in the middle of a discussion and he whispers that he's evil and that he should be screwed! What's the matter with these people!?
Second: Shawn, I saw - and read to my amusement - that thread. Also, your alias wasn't majorally Sexay Shawn, so any opinion on it is relatively invalid. In fact, it hasn't been for half a year yet.
Thirdly: Sam! is not unsexy. And he has yet to post his sexy body on any thread denoted serious, or even semi-serious.
Fourthly: Devil cakes look yummy.
Nevertheless, he is posting the same image time and time again! That's spam, bitch.
Plus, he is not sexy. Whether or not he is unsexy is irrelvent to my point. Har!
Being unsexy is simply not being sexy. Whatever part of you is not sexy is inherently unsexy. So, it does mean everything.
Actually, I think it's based on net ratio of sexiness to unsexiness.
These days, sexiness seems like such an ARBITRARY thing...
STAR CAKES, BITCHES!
These days, sexiness seems like such an ARBITRARY thing...
It is when you are posting shirtless pictures of yourself in every single thread of a discussion forum, yes!
You people scare me.
PLEASE tell me that means the stuff's working.
I scare everyone for a small period of time. You'll get used to it.
Wait, you already have been exposed to me - in an online fashion. But not actually. And for that, you should be thankful.
Or something.
Believe me.
Every day, I wake up and thank whatever deities happen to exist today that I haven't met any CWALers or anyone here.
And yet, I have met nearly enough to pluralise dozen.
I would actually like to meet some people here.
Roadtrip?
Possibly a roadtrip..or even a plane..if it seems safe.
If someone could potentially organize a (successful) RStefan01.com forum get-together, I'd attend. I am sure that my usual cronies would, as well. There are plenty of forumers whom I would like to meet, along with forumers I would simply like to visit with, again.
*Grins*
Sure, I'd attend. I don't care where it is. I was ready to go to the CWAL gathering in Minnesota and whatever Chuck wanted to plan in Niagara Falls before both of those things never happened.
The bad part about planning a trip anytime soon is that it will get cold soon..and snowy. That makes travel difficult.
Cold and snowy is fun!
Though I agree that maybe if something were to be planned, it should be planned well ahead of time, and possibly during a time when lots of people have a few days free.
That would mean summer as I doubt most people have the same spring break. Hmmm..so far away. Drat.
It also just occured to me that it does not snow much here..but I only have a 1 bedroom apt and can't house many people.
Exactly what is the big problem with snow anyways? I have to put up with mountains of the stuff for half of the year. I had to climb over a 20 foot high pile of snow every day just to get to work(The corner of the parking lot that I used to get to the store was also the spot where they piled the snow after clearing the lot).
Doesn't bother me none.
"but I only have a 1 bedroom apt and can't house many people."
We can all sleep in MC's bedroom!
*fear* umm..many of you would all fit on the living room floor..it has wonderful soft squishy carpet and padding...
Well, from his own words we know that ßetaMantis can sleep practically anywhere. =P
Though I'm sure there's at least one hotel in the area. =P
There is a Days Inn 2 miles from my apt
That is most likely the cheapest decent place to stay. I could keep a few people..but..not everyone. If people were here we would have to all go into DC..hmmm maybe to the zoo. I love the zoo. I don't see why anyone would come here though. I'm the only one here and I'm not centrally located. It would be easier for me to go where more of the forumers live.Coincidentally, I think that there's more Ontarians here than Albertonians now. =P
Last time we tried planning something, Chuck suggested Niagara Falls. I saw no problem with this, as Niagara Falls is a cool place to go.
Yes, Niagra Falls is cool, and it's also close to both Ontario and New England...but pretty #### far from California.
Ontario easily has the most centralized population of forumers: Sexay Shawn, Psycho Sam!, Korivak, Seraph, ßetaMantis, VéKTöR, and others that I am sure I am forgetting. Random Crispy would probably attend, though he's not a regular poster here. I doubt ND and Pippy06 would, but they live here as well.
Though Niagara is a bit expensive hotel-wise in the summer.
So we go in June near my b-day while rates are still cheaper. I have never had a b-day party in my life. My parents would not let me have friends over. Its the 29th of June. A bit before that should be reasonable and I'm sure we could work out something where people share rooms and the cost.
By that time I should have money. =)
Yay! A birthday bash for MissCheetah!
That could be fun
Everyone will be out of school by mid June. We could possibly do this. I see Tom has revived my Niagra idea =).
I still think that would be a great place for most of us to meet since ALOT of us are in the North Eastern America area and South Eastern Canadian area. Others are a hop skip and a jump away and actually only about 3 hours by train.
I researched it a bit earlier in the year although I never looked into reservations of any kind. I was leaving that task up Tom =).
Also, not sure how you guys would feel about this, but if you wanna do somthing a little more south bound, I'd gladly open my house up for you guys. Its a one of those Split Houses but its nice regardless and quiet spacious. Could easily get like ::: starts counting on figures ::: Like 6 or 8 people where semi-confortably.
Well, it's less a revivl of your idea than it is the inclusion of your idea into a currently brewing one.
And preferably someone else can look up hotel reservations this time. I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing, so I'm sure there's others more well suited to the task. =P
I have no inclination to meet any of you jerks in person. I'm sure you all smell bad, too.
*Weeps for humanity*
Oh, I forgot about you. I'd meet shawn, but only because he is so damned sexy. I find it very unlikely that I would ever want to dirty my eyes by laying them upon any of you other forumers.
I've got a better idea. Everybody meets in southern California. That way, not only can we all storm Blizzard and get our hands on whatever unannounced project they're working on right now (Blizzard North has to be doing something these days, in any case), but I don't have to pay money to go anywhere, either.
kwerkey, that's not a better idea.
Umm kwerkey, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one.
In this case, there's many of us who will be getting together where it's convenient so that we can all laugh at your sorry ass.
*points at Ike*
You all want to meet HIM TOO, DON'T YOU! AHAHAHAHA! HE'S MY SLAVE DOWN HERE, AND YOU'LL HAVE TO COME DOWN HERE TO GET HIM!
*BLOWS SOMETHING UP WHILE STILL HAVING THE CAPS LOCK ON*
*kwerkeys ass explodes*
Wow, that was messy
*makes chowder out of pieces of ass*
Yum!
Be sure to share brawny =)
Mmm... Star Crunch... *drool*
And now, in what would be a TOTALLY offtopic post (if this thread HAD a topic):
What ever happened to Dark Franchise II?
I think it went into the ass-chowder...
Ah. Damnit.
I was looking forward to it, too.

On a totally unrelated note that's related to the 9/11 events:
1. Type NYC in Microsoft Word, Size 72.
2. Change the font to Webdings.
3. Change the font to Wingdings.
Ladies and gentlemen, here's first-hand evidence that Microsoft is manipulating world events.
*waves dismissivly*
Seen it...
*laughs*
I wonder who thought of that Webdings one.

*giggles* I have a friend that has a tendancy to do that on my comp if I make the mistake of leaving my ICQ up. He likes to start the conversation by telling everyone on my list "You smell!!" So if anyone gets strange messages from me that are very out of character..its not me.
(Edited by MissCheetah at 12:22 am on Sep. 17, 2001)
*gnashes teeth* You don't have to do it in MS Word, Term.
I remember when DN, Magni and I used to go on each other's ICQ accounts and freak out other CWALers two years past. *giggles*
I have a friend that has a tendancy to do that on my comp if I make the mistake of leaving my ICQ up. He likes to start the conversation by telling everyone on my list "You smell!!"
I am of the personal opinion that anyone who even remotely considers hijacking a friend's computer to type or post demeaning messages via ICQ or in a certain forum that we all know and love is obviously unfit to live. It's even worse when the comments are along the lines of 'You smell!' or 'I am covered in poop!' and so forth. I think that's just low, and people who do that are jerks...
On another random note:
Save Psycho Sam!, people!
####! I failed to post in this thread when I had achieved the mighty glory of 7300 posts...
It's the poop, Shawn. The poop.
Tom lives under my floor boards agian. If someone post as me between now and next month, it's him.
...or a very clever Sexay Shawn.
*Cackles*
Q: If I got my 100th post (and the red star with it), does that make me a commie?
yes
Damnit.
I DON'T WANNA BE A COMMIE! *sob*
I'm close to being a commie. Does that make you feel better?
I wish I was a commie too. I will be a Novice before I am a commie.

Jesus, the forum is a depressing place, tonight. And why has every single thread degenerated into an argument about me, anyway? Oh, right. Because of Ravage!. But, still...
(Edited by Sexay Shawn at 10:09 pm on Sep. 22, 2001)
I tried posting something with humour in it and it got all into a debate and turned depressing again. :(
I mean think about Bush saying that stuff! Think about it! He's been acting like a little girl who just got her first bra!
*Laughs*
Now if that's not offensive, what is?!
*Chuckles*
In any event, I remember once showing this forum to Kazz while I was still pressuring CWALers into posting here (I managed to drag quite a few over, actually). He made an account, and said 'There sure are a lot of unhappy people over there,' or something similar, and never ended up posting here. It's quite sad when we depress Kazz so much that he doesn't want to post here...
Now that is a depressing thought.
Kazz, depressed = depressing.
THAT's redundant!

My Coca Cola tower is a bit more than 7 stories high, Each level is 3x4 cans.

There's a guy in one of my classes that looks like Bill Roper. Sadly, I had the image of goat roper in my head.. until I fell asleep that is. Review days are great like that.
Oh, and in case anyone cares, I'm now living in the crawlspace underneath Korivak's kitchen/living room again.
Hopefully, I'll have my own place soon.
You should change your signature before I create one equally as annoying!
Is that more to your liking sir?
...yes.
I am going to sleep now.
Oh, and whoever it was who came up with the idea to have Christopher Walken dancing around for no reason in a music video is quite possibly the worlds greatest genious.
That is all.
Goodnight.
Yep i love it!!!
I was just watching it on my tv actually.
What channel and when?
I encoded it into vcd and put it on a disk to play on my dvd player.
And even if I did watch it on television it wouldnt help you seeing I live in Australia.
Aww.
Anyhoo, it's uploaded here.
It's a Fatboy Slim video, Raz. I've been telling friends about it for months and now Sam! has finally downloaded it, hehe. You'd think it would have happened sooner considering we're all a bunch of crazy Christopher Walken fanatics...
Thankee. I'll snag it while I'm off at my CS class.
I may or may not have taken a picture of a picture we ran at work with my digital camera, and there's a possibility that it's the above picture.
That thing is insane.
Too much ... reflection... in eyes... I'M BLIND!
... Oh yeah, and the Fatboy Slim video kicked ass.
That bike is pretty cool.
Someday when I have more money I will buy a Harely Roadster. I will! BWAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!
Hod, I'm freezing... And I'm in the warmest room in the house...
In an attempt to fight off my alergies caused by Korivak's dogs, and the fact that it was already fighting whatever's on my tongue, My immune system seems to have let a cold slip by.
Came on rather fast as well. As Shawn knows, I wasn't feeling terribly bad yesterday.
THis is irritating, cause I don't think I've gotten a cold in the last several years. Sure I've had the flu twice, and my tongue thing, but that's all I've had.
Guess this means I'm mortal after all... heh...
Mortal, eh?
*BAM!*
Yes. Mortal.
You look through your customer's photos?
Uh oh
Actually, we do. We make sure that they turn out, and we don't charge for ones that don't. We also have to make sure there isn't any child pornography in there (adult pornography is just fine though, and we'd be more than happy to develop it!).
What, you think it was the magic machine's fault that your photos keep turning out green, Osiris? :biggrin:
Seriously though, if your pictures are a little green, or have a random snowstorm on them, chances are the guy running the print machine screwed up. I can say this with a little authority, seeing as I did work in Photolab for a while.
There is a surprising amount that is actually under the photo finisher's control. The thing is, the photo finishers are usually so busy, they usually just hit NEXT, NEXT, NEXT without looking hard at the photos. I usually took about 3/4 of a second per print. Then the person that takes them off the rack flips through the entire set in about three seconds.
So yes, we do look at the prints for "quality assurance". and to see neat stuff. Like a fully functional Batmobile. That set of prints was nifty.
Item 1: I'm back home again.
Item 2: My birthday was yesterday.
Item 3: I'm 20 now.
Item 4: There is no Item 4.
Item 5: Dancing Walkin is man-tastic!
I told you Dancin' Walken (that's how you spell his name when you're not incompitent) was man-tastic, but you didn't listen! At least Blinky eventually downloaded the damned thing.
Welcome to the third decade of your life and the end of teenagerness.
Well, the competent people spell incompetent with only one i.
You suck arse ßetaMantis...
Right, like you would have not said that if I didn't!
Dave: Yup this nailgun is mighty nifty. Looks like something is stuck in the place where the nails come out.
Tom: Let me see what it is.
Dave: Okay.
Tom: YOu shot me in the eye with a nail gun.
Dave: I am sorry.
Tom: I accept your apology, lets have tea before I bleed to death.
THE END
Best story ever! Twist ending! A look into the human side of death! I want to buy the movie rights!
I will never give them away. You most likely would end with Dave and TOm getting married and getting a house in the suburbs only to divorce apon finding they were both heterosexual males, ignoring the blatent undertone of how a personal relationship in god leads to you getting knocked up with the next messiah.

Hmm...
I just watched that music video with the Dancin' Walken in it again...
is it just me, or are others gettin' kind of a Dune vibe from the lyrics?
"is it just me, or are others gettin' kind of a Dune vibe from the lyrics?"
Considering the lyrics include several direct quotes from the book, I would say it's not just you...
There's a guy named Korivak on CNN.
I didn't know I was that famous...but seriously, are you sure?
if you read this, you suck.
If you wish to refute this assumption, Korivak wants to hear from you by email.
Ug...just what i need: MORE email. Spam smacintyre instead.
Speaking of methods of communication: How come we never talk anymore? There was that one day you were going to come over, but never did/called. Hrm. I haven't spoken to you since then, either! What gives, yo?

"Speaking of methods of communication: How come we never talk anymore? There was that one day you were going to come over, but never did/called. Hrm. I haven't spoken to you since then, either! What gives, yo?"
I hate people, remember?
True, but by this point I had been given the impression that I was an exception -- like Blinky, or Ass Man, or ND, or Pippy, or The Judith, or my rats. Erm, forget the rats...
Oooo, can I be exceptional? I am not just any person! Or so people who call me weird mean, I guess.
Sure, just move to Nepean and spend lots of time with me, and I might like you and add you to the Short List™.
Can we forego the moving to Nepean (know known as Ottawa, silly) part?
No, you must move to Ottawa. Right now.
Unfortunately, there's no room in my house this time, so you'll probably have to move in with Shawn, or live underneath Korivak's living room(Though it's still full of my junk).
No, if you want to be my friend, you have to be my friend in real life. I have exactly one internet friend I really like, and keep telling her to come visit me IRL because the internet is just for fooling around, whereas real life is...well, real.
In other news, even though the whole city is called Ottawa, the part of the city that I live in and spend almost all my time in is called Nepean. If you want to go into semantics, I could just describe the area that I live in as "the portion of the New City Of Ottawa™ that is located between Merivale and the 416, south of Baseline, north of West Hunt Club, and including Bells Corners". Or, I could replace that 28 word long concept with the single word "Nepean". And so, in conclusion, eat shit and die.
Either Korivak is irritable today, or his signature really does speak the truth. I can't tell. My mind, it boggles!
And now, just to be a delicious jerk:
Sure, just move to Nepean and spend lots of time with me, and I might like you and add you to the Short List™.
Am I on the Short List™ of people you don't hate? If so, your explanation of why we haven't spoken this week doesn't hold water.
*Obnoxious grin*
Fuckers.
"Either Korivak is irritable today, or his signature really does speak the truth. I can't tell. My mind, it boggles!"
It's all signature, baby...
Fuckers.
Q~Bert: $%&#!
What you say !!
Are those the actual four symbols used in Q-Bert?
SM> Isn't ND his girlfriend?
Andy or something?
No, nevermind, Korvak'sGirl is his girlfriend.
Hmm... ND is somebody's girlfriend, I'm sure. Unless you meant DN, in which case the name NarthDinny comes to mind...
Oh my god bear is driving! How can that be!?
On a more serious, and slightly sadder note, had my sister survived more than a few days(She had a heart condition, and was born before heart transplants were possible), today would have been her 18th birthday.
Really makes me wonder what my life would have been like had she survived to today. For starters, we wouldn't live here, since the house would be too small. That's just one of the things that I can think of...
For the record:
1 - I currently have no girlfriend.
2 - I have a friend, who may or may not also happen to be female, who is named Andie (or ND online).
3 - There is not and never was a "Korivaksgirl"...you're thinking of Packheadsgirl.
4 - I am not in a relationship with Darth Ninny or Dark Nexus.
5 - I like boobies.

I don't know!

You know this already, but...
My oldest brother, Mark, is adopted. The reason he is adopted is due to the fact that my mother's first attempt to have a child with my father failed. The fetus was destroyed by natural antibodies while still inside of her womb. She was obviously traumatised enough to adopt, and eventually tried again to have child, resulting in Tom. Then, me. Still, it's odd knowing that I would have had a maternal oldest brother. If he was born successfully, my parents wouldn't have adopted Mark, either.
I also have an older brother, Daniel, who would be one year older than me if he had lived. But then, I never would have been born...
Korivak> Yeah, packhead'sgirl is who I'm thinking of.
Weren't you and ND going together for awhile though or something? You were, I'm sure of it, because you and ND both got mad at SM because you guys thought he was trying to come between you and get with ND.
Saturday Night Fever is on.
Well you can tell by the way I use my walk, I'm a woman's man, not ime to talk...
Wow! You know even more about my personal life than I do! How could I have forgotten all that stuff? I must be having a senior moment. Thank you for reminding me about what my relationship with Andie and Shawn was really like!

Don't worry, it definitely did. =p
If only I could remember boring stuff from months long ago during finals... =)
*slaps Korivak*
DarthNinny's abbreviation is DNY. Get it right. The reasoning is DN was already taken (by Dark Nexus, of course).
Kinda like stocks.
Actually, I've always known DN as DN, and I will continue to abbreviate it like that because I don't know the other DN.
Well, sorry Bevy, DNY has been DNY forever, and that's his abbrev.
It doesn't matter.
I've said DN here (and I'm sure I've seen quite a few others refer to him as DN) and people knew what I meant, and DNY being (apparently) the "way it is" doesn't mean a thing to me.
So you'll type "MetallicA" because a picture makes it look like the A is capitalized (but in text, it's not), while when DNY abbreviates it that way, you refuse?
I fail to see your logic.
OK, but every time you say it, there will be people around who know his as DNY and will point this out, so you might as well just say it, since nobody's going to stop.
I've always said DN and many other people here have since he got here and the whole DNY issue never came up. Besides, if it gets you bastards this riled up I may as well do it for fun.
kwerkey> Are you asking if there's a method to my madness?
Oh, I'm not riled up, I'm just doing this out of principle.
I believe my parents were married at the time in question. But then again, I don't get riled up . . . often.
When you say DN, Bevy, I think of Dark Nexus. So, if you ever say DN and it seems (CWALers, anyway) agree with you, it might be because they think you're thinking of someone else entirely. *smirks*
Your blatant disregard for convention - while not wrong - will be incredibly inconvenient and allow for a multitude of misinterpretations.
Principle?
I find that somehow... amusing.
Of course, I wouldn't care if anybody misinterprets anythign I say having to do with Darth Ninny, so it's ok.
Oh, I do alot of things on principle. It's one of my major motivations for doing anything, actually.
If you told me that you wear a plaid t-shirt over a random base color t-shirt everyday out of principle, I would laugh.
I'm not saying you would say something like that, or that you necessarily do, but it's the first thing that came to my mind.
No, I wear that because that's how I like to dress.
I wear one black sock and one white sock on principle though. People kept noticing one day when I didn't have any matching socks to wear, so I can't really stop wearing them, can I?
My opinion right now is that you're acting too seriously.
And my opinion is that I don't really care enough, therefore I absolutely have to do it.
Bevy's right. We shouldn't have to use the right words to describe the right phalluses. It's hard enough to remember the water that we have to now, so we can be expected to Johnson some grunts now and then. Besides, it's not really that book to checker about. Some people just get way too beanbag out of underwear.
kwerkey, you so pineapple.
Yeah, but keyboard sticks dime!
You were, I'm sure of it, because you and ND both got mad at SM because you guys thought he was trying to come between you and get with ND.
*Tries to reply, but is laughing too hard*
Actually, I've always known DN as DN, and I will continue to abbreviate it like that because I don't know the other DN.
DarthNinny refers to himself as 'DNY' -- even in this forum. You can continue dubbing him 'DN' if you so wish, but most of the forumers here will assume you're referring to Dark Nexus. You'll either have to use endless disclaimers (which is really only inconveniencing yourself), or live with the fact that you'll be shunned like Nighteye, who also enjoys giving words his own definitions. And who wants to be like Eye of the Night?
*Grin*
Oh, and for anyone who didn't get my bear comment, I have stuck Clerks episode 4 up on Spankotron in case anybody wants it.
http://spankotron.dyndns.org/stuff/clerks4.avi
I can't get it to play, but I think my codec's are messed up or something.
I know that DN and DNY are two different people...I just wanted to make it as clear as possible that I'm not in a relationship with anyone that has initials even slightly resembeling ND or DN. Plus, the message I was replying to made specific reference to "NarthDinny"...
Random bitching: I never get to see my friends anymore. I haven't seen any of them in a week and a half, at the very least. And they keep getting together and forging new and exciting inside jokes by watching movies and series' that I had wanted to see. Not that I'm bitter. On a semi-related note, I've rationalized that the only logical solution is to kill the whole lot of 'em so my fragile ego feels better.
That, or you could go 'work' overtime.
We still love you!
*Covers face with one hand while waving Korivak away with the other*
Nono, you hate me. Admit it. I understand.
*Runs out of the room, sobbing*
Boobies!

You know what sucks even worse than knowing they're out having fun? When you finally get around them for awhile and they're reminiscing upon the times when everyone but you was there. "Oh remember this?" and "Oh remember that?" and then a bunch of laughing.
I'm not talking about anything specific.
If he weren't so busy working, he could be a bum like the rest of us...

This is essentially what I was referring to when I spoke of the new inside jokes being forged...
*Grins*
And every little amusing thing is always coincidentally a "had to be there" thing.
I almost make it sound like people who do this to people are doing it specifically against the outcast.
Of course, I am not an outcast, per se.
I've simply been incredibly fucking busy.
I don't work tomorrow, though. For the first time in a week and a half of nothing but school/work, and no friends at all.
At least I love my job, though. That makes it worthwhile...
Outcast simply meant the one in the group that's not so much in the group at a moment or something.
I was typing fast and not thinking.
RONFLFSMALEOMO!!

I wish I was a duck.
Life would be so much simpler.
Quack.
this is a random thread
[nevermind, thats how i got banned 2 years ago]
You're right.
Yes, this is quite a random thread indeed.
You changed it NetRanger, you jerk! He said this is not a random thread. THAT is right. *grins*
Hmm...
it has the name "Random Thread #2864", and it's classified with the number 2864, so.. it's not random at all, actually.
it's classified with the number 2864
Not any more. Now it's topic 37. When the forum converted old posts, it ignored the original thread numbers and started at 1.
I'm talking about the content of the title.
It was once the 2864th thread, and in our hearts, it shall always be so.
I'm shocked that I didn't get the Village Idiot title first =(
Also Z's signature is the guy who was (supposedly) standing on top of the WTC, ofcourse by now everyone knows that. Sorry folks, I couldn't think of anything more random to pollute this thread with.
NO IT's NOT!!!!!!!
FOOL!!!!!!!!!!
It is *clearly* VektoR!!!!!!
Gah!
Damn, Ottawa's facing a hedgehog shortage! Now I'm going to have to look through the paper to find some breeders. Cause of the WTC incident, no pet stores have recieved their shipments of Hedgehogs for a while now.
Ah well. Maybe I'll save up and get a ferret. =P
I was going to post this in the "Polluting the Gene poll" thread but that thread is progressing so nicely it would be a shame to post any off topic thoughts in that thread.
I wanted to ask ... where is the real Beta? He's acting unusually agreeable tonight. Don't get me wrong, I like this side of him but I have to admit I am looking for Pods right now!
OK, I've rechecked my budget for the month, and a hedgehog is a much better choice at the moment. If I were to get a ferret, I'd have to take the Trigun boxed dvd set and a router, and those would both be very useful. Plus I have more miscelaneous spending cash this way, and I wanted a hedgehog to begin with.
Maybe some time in the future I'll get that ferret...
Simple: I agree with that which makes sense. I don't with that which doesn't.
Funny how people assume I let petty emotions get in the way.
You happened to make sense.
I was not making it out to sound emtional.
It was actually a compliment in a twisted way.
Also, I really enjoyed this comic and thought I'd share it with you:
I didn't mean there specifically, Proman. I meant in general. Of course, you had no way of absolutely knowing that . . . but still.
I probably could have infered
No, I think you were fine.
*grins* You didn't assume.
Well, we all know what people say about people who assume =)
I know what I say.
Unsaid assumptions are the worst and most common of all mistakes.
Chuck, I believe it's spelled 'assforume'...
This is an announcement

Forum: "Shut up, Nighteye"
I was discussing forum politics with smac and thought back to the Sanctuary Saga from last June. I looked it up in the Forum Access thread...it happens to start on the 14th from the bottom post on the 14th page. "Shhh! Get back in my pants!" has got to be the single best sentence I've ever posted. Ah, those were the days...maybe I'll get a server account for Christmas and try that whole "forum" thing again...
If I only assume I'm assuming, am I assuming?
Yes.
Well, if Fluufly wasn't virus ridden and on an ISP that limits her upstream to 15k/sec, you could host your forum there, but I think there's something messed up hardware-wise too, so no server at all until she's fixed.
On another note, I've got to get downtown now. I need to take an oath or something to get my 'secret' security clearance, and the guy leaves at 4, and it takes about an hour or so to get there, so I'm heading out now.

Robot Voice: State Identity in 10 seconds or be Ventilated!!!
I can't be bothered to find the wrestling thread(s).
Did anybody else watch Raw tonight, and find the Rock and Stone Cold bit at the end to be a little on the, idunno, disturbing side? In a Honky Tonk Man kind of way?
Edit: Apparently they did that at a House show on the weekend, and I guess they thought it went so well, they'd do it again on RAW. Wackiness.
Ten pages! I never imagined that Random Thread #2864 would be so sucessful...
*dances*
Every day I looked at this thread recently I was like
"WHat, its not on page 10 yet?
HOW!?!?!?!"Oh, to Austin and Rock, it was distrubing
I was sitting there like WTF is going on here!
*watches Lexx 1*
This quite different from the Sci-Fi series.
Eva Habermann is hot, though. So that makes up for all the differences. =p
Normally I'm totally uninterested in the WWF and their ilk, but I'm curious...what's this "disturbing" thing now?
Rocky goated Austin to comming out to finish "unfinished buissness from Wrestle Mania".
After Austin came out, Rock and Austin goated each other for a while each swipping the mic while the other was speaking.
Finally Austin started singing in the mic and then Rock did the same. The ended with a duet and then Rocky choak slammed Austin.
Kurt jumped in to defned Austin and then Y2J did the same to help Rocky.
Y2J had the perfect oppurnity to slam Rocky again and didn't. So that went to say Kurt and Austin were on the same page as was Y2J and Rocky.
The swipping mic thing and signing thing went on for about 12 minutes and it was distrubing.
Singing? What were they singing?
Did RAW run late or something? My VCR didn't catch the last few minutes of the show
It cut off right after The Rock told Austin that his breath smelled like strudel (rofl!). I read about the rest on lordsofpain though.
*giggles at Proman's latest reply*
It's too funny . . .
It ran about 15 minutes over

First try explaining the reasoning behind yours, and then I'll give mine if necessary. It's like a little riddle ;)
Proman,
It was the Rock Bottom, not the Choke Slam. The Rock is not tall enough to do a decent Choke Slam.
And I got disturbed right when Stone Cold started to sing. Wrestlers shouldn't sing; especially those with Stone Colds oh-so-lovely singing voice.
And NightEye,
If you were only assuming you were assuming, then kwerkeys assumption that you are indeed assuming is a perfectly valid, and ultimately correct assumption.
I mean, you certainly are making an ass of you and not me.
Ba-dum-ching.
You're overlooking something of prime importance...I won't tell what it is, though, not until some more have answered.

oh wait, your already there
Then just let hell freeze over with you there!
I was just chatting with Korivak on ICQ he said he will be in small cabin with no phone or power lines in the middle of a forest when his ban ends, so he just wanted me to say goodbye to everyone from him, and tell them he won't be online for about a week.
Proman, Shawn was right. And he's not in hell, unless Earth is hell.
Eye of the Night, the first bit in your question is "If I only assume". Therefore, you are assuming.

Hey look, every thread on the forum was last replied to by slack jaw...
I smell a ban comin' on.
YOUR MOM!!!!
(double posts)
Oh, and NightEye, I actually do get what you're trying to do, and even if you are anly assuming you are assuming, you could never be unassuming, so therefore you must be assuming.
Or at least that's my assumption.
And look, your assumption made an ass out of you and not me. Therefore, I can only assume that you assume way too much.
i dont know what you're about cause I haent talked to you at all yet

Eye of the Night, the first bit in your question is "If I only assume". Therefore, you are assuming.
Beta, the trick is in the word "only". If you only assume something, then that something isn't true. DebtAngel did get that part right.
However, if you only assume you're assuming, you're both assuming and not assuming, in a way kind of similar to someone saying "I am now lying". It can neither be true or false, and as such, the only answer is that it's not determinable.
As MC said, I'm going to be away for a week or so. Rich unbanned me early, so I have about half an hour of posting time before I have to start packing and getting ready to go.
In other news, the ThinkPad I've been going on and on about arrived at my friend's house yesterday, so I should have it in my little hands in about eight hours. Maybe I'll be able to use it to post with today and tomorrow, but not after I get in to the woods.

Eye of the Night, it doesn't matter.
"If I only assume" is saying "on the condition I assume and nothing else". You are admitting, as a condition for this situation, that you are assuming. Whether that's the only thing you are doing are not is irrelevent to the question "Are you assuming?".\n\n
That's just half of it, Beta. If you only assume something, it isn't true/real.
My brain just exploded.
I assume the earth rotates around the sun, because although I never actually tested the theory myself, nor have I journeyed into space and witnessed it for myself, I assume astronomers know what they're talking about.

I assume the earth rotates around the sun, because although I never actually tested the theory myself, nor have I journeyed into space and witnessed it for myself, I assume astronomers know what they're talking about.
Even so I'm pretty sure that it's but a simplification. I think the earth rotates around the center of the solar system (as in center of the mass, I'm sure there's a term for it), and that the sun also rotates around this point, at a very low orbit. Also, the point itself moves (slightly) as the planets and the sun move around it.
That's just half of it, Beta. If you only assume something, it isn't true/real.
Where DO you get your ideas from, exactly? If I assume something, I am believing, on the basis of no real evidence, that something is true. Not that it is or isn't, that I believe it is.\n\n
If you assume something, you believe it to be true regardless of whether it's true or not.
If you only assume something, you believe it to be true while it isn't.
It's that simple
Wrong, Nighteye, but thanks for playing.
If I only assume something, it just means I haven't done the research.
For instance, I only assume that you're a guy. I haven't seen you, but based on how you post, it's the assumption I've come to. And you know what; I have a 49% chance of being right.
Just because I assume something is true does not, by default, make it false.
Are you going by the statement that 51% of all internet users are female?
Term,
Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of "51% of the population of the planet is female".
But now that you've pointed out the flaw in my logic, I'll just have to assume that what I just only assumed two posts ago is more likely to be true than I originally assumed.
(double posts again)
In other news, here are my predictions as to the results of the Survivor Series:
- Dudley Boys d. Hardy Boys, and win Termination Immunity as Undisputed Tag Team Champions.
- The Intercontinental/US belt unification match could go either way, but I'll say Test d. Edge because Test has been getting a lot of TV time.
- WWF wins the 10 man elimination match, thanks to a defection by somebody other than Austin. Austin, as WWF Champion, gets to stay.
Now, with this plan, I'm not sure how Booker T, RVD, and/or Angle are going to get written back in.
Oh, and did anybody else notice how extremely pissed off Mick Foley was on RAW, and how pissed off Paul Heyman was on Smack Down! It's like these guys weren't faking.
I especially identify with what Paul Heyman said, because he basically told the truth the entire time. It was, like, scary. It was like he was actually trying, for real, to dismantle the WWF and Vince McMahon. I wonder if there's a transcript floating around somewhere.
Edit: Not a transcript, but it'll do for now:

If you assume something, you believe it to be true regardless of whether it's true or not.
If you only assume something, you believe it to be true while it isn't.
Even if I decide to believe you - which I am not, for the record - how is this relevent to your question "Am I assuming?"?
I understand where EOTN is going with this, but I still don't agree. Dude, you're thinking about this way too deeply. Language is fuzzy, you're trying to apply boolean logic to words, and the outcome isn't always a clearcut answer.
If I say I only like tacos from Taco Cabana, that doesn't mean I don't also enjoy Chicken Parmesan at Casa D'Angelos.
: If you assume something, you believe it to be true regardless of whether it's true or not.
If x then y
: If you only assume something, you believe it to be true while it isn't.
If and only if x then not (y)
You aren't explaining the jump from step 1 to step 2, nor can I think of any way in which I would agree with it.
"If I only assume" means "If I assume and do nothing else" to me. I don't know about anyone else.
I don't agree because it doesn't make sense, not as he's described it. His idea of tacking on an only means whatever you're assuming is false . . . boggles my mind.
Actually I like his logic.
By his logic, if I only assume that buying a small country is beyond my means, then that must mean that buying a small country is no harder than a trip to talk with my investment planner.
Or if I only assume that one does not get cars for free, then then that must mean that somebody will hand me the keys to their car tomorrow over tea.
It's flawless, I tell you. Flawless.
And that, is one more reason why it's preposterous. Proof by counterexample. If I only assume I am mortal, I am a god.
*boggles*
How does that make sense from any standpoint? Assumptions have no correlation to fact and tend to be far from it. But the fact EotN says the qualifiers on the verb assume CAN denote the factuality of the assumption is downright ri-goddamned-diculous.

I meant a sort of over-/melo- dramatic pause there.
There are other, more net-friendly ways to do that kind of thing, however.
For example, I like bolding words for emphasis. I don't italicise, generally, because italicized sans-serif fonts don't look very good.
i.e. And that is one more reason why it's preposterous.
I also like adding in words for no good reason.
i.e. And that, my friends, is one more reason why it's preposterous.
In this case, I think bold works best.
DA, ß, it's a construction based on the knowledge of the one using it. So when something is true, you can't only assume it to be. It's basically a kind of supposition. Reality does not bend to the construction, the construction bends to reality.
*dances*
Yes, there is reason. No, I'm not telling you.
*grooves*
I think I would agree with you if you said this:
If it is ONLY assumed (universally) that some condition is true, then the condition is false, since the only truth is in the assumption and there is no ancilliary evidience or really anything that would make the condition true.
If *I* only assume that some condition is true, the condition can be either true or false, as there may be information that I do not posess.
Either way, I'm kicking you in the bals.
I need a good rpg game to play
Any suggestions?
Yeah and video game too, my friends aren't serious enought o play a pen and paper rpg.

Yes, at least once. Planescape: Torment is also a good one...
Other than that, there are a lot of good snes games on emulators...Secret of Mana (1&2), Breath of fire (1&2), Chrono Trigger, etc.
I wonder if EotN has ever seen a console that isn't a SNES. All those games are on it.
Damn! I may be allergic to peanuts! My throat has been kinda swelling up since Thursday, and the only thing I can think of that I did to cause that was packed some crunchy peanut butter sandwhiches for lunch.
I'd better not be allergic to peanuts... Reese peanut butter cups are quite possibly my favourite form of sweets, and I don't think I could stand to lose them!
Maybe you should sit or lie to lose them then. Speaking of peanut allergies, my sister's elementary school disallows any products that may have nuts in them due to some undisclosed number of students having allergies to said things.
That's like outlawing milk or pollen on school property. Enforce those . . .
There we go.
Instead of helping the kids who are allergic, they punish those who aren't. I see the logic in that.
Wait, that was a horrible lie.
Stop being stupid. Peanut allergies can be serious and life threatening, where even trace amounts of peanut protien can make a child sick or even die.
If you're lactose intolerant, you don't throw up by walking past a container of milk, whereas a child with a peanut allergy may walk past a open container of peanuts and become seriously ill. Although most symptoms are just rashes and asthma-like conditions, the rarest of cases are deadly. Unless your school nurse has stocks of epinephrine, banning it is the only logical way to prevent illnesses.
An adult, on the other hand, usually already knows about his or her allergic reaction to peanuts and can make conscious efforts to avoid them. Kids have less reserve and are more senstive to sicknesses, or they might not even be aware of their condition.
\n\n
Well this is just strange, since I haven't been allergic to peanuts before now. Actually, while I was staying at Shawns, I had a peanut butter sandwhich every day, and my throat was kinda tight then as well, and seemed to go away the week we didn't have any peanut butter around the house...
This is almost as annoying as my inconsistent lactose intolerancy... I randomly can't eat cheese and whatnot, but alot of the time it doesn't bother me at all...
At least neither seem life threatening, but I'm going to schedule a doctors appointment to get me checked out for all allergies, since I believe I may be alergic to metals as well. (My watch hurts my wrist no matter how loose or tight it is, but only where the metal bottom of the watch, and the clip on the watch strap touch my skin, and my glasses suddenly started bothering my head...)
In other news, I'm off to watch Reboot.\n\n
Don't you just hate it when you get familiar with a site/server for school, start getting it set up for improvements, and then it drops off the face of the internet?
I do.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi....306.stm
They're publishing Douglas Adams' unfinished 6th book in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy trilogy.
=)
Hoddammit, I missed some of Reboot cause I was busy doing stuff. No problem, I set my vcr to tape it, right? Wrong. I set it to tape from 4 until 6, so what does it do? Starts taping at 6! Looking into the configuration, it's still set to tape from 4pm until 6pm on November 18th, 2001. THe time configuration now says November 18th 2001, 6:03pm.
No problem, Random Crispy was taping it, right? Wrong! He left the house, and when he got back, someone had stopped the vcr, so his cuts out half an hour before the end.
It had better come out on dvd or something...
I missed the Reboot movie because I spent all day playing Dark Age of Camelot.
This game is refined crack.
Ah good, it looks like YTV is going to air them as episodes on Wednesday nights. 2 per night means I only have to wait 2 weeks to get on tape what I should already have.
Lousy POS vcr...
I am not being stupid, Osiris. I fail to understand why an entire school is unable to have nuts because an undisclosed number of them (I am guessing a dozen - for no apparent reason) are allergic to them. A child with an allergy to nuts should avoid nuts. Just like one with an allergy to eggs or caffiene should avoid those things. Just like one with asthma should avoid triggers - 'cause any one of them can be life-threatening.
ßeta, I think the reason they banned peanuts entirely in some schools is because it is virtually impossible for the children with the allergies to avoid all traces of peanuts. If a child has a peanutbutter and jelly sandwich, gets even a trace of it on his/her hands, then touches a doorknob, the child with allergies can have a reaction from touching the doorknob. I do not even mean traces you can see. The solution is for those children to wear gloves and avoid all contact. School systems and parents don't want to do that to the children. Someone might suggest that all children wash thier hands after lunch to prevent that..but getting small children to go do that is very difficult.. a teacher would have to take them every day and supervise. Sad but true. I was a teacher for 3 years. I agree that its silly to ban all peanut products in an elementary school but otherwise its impossible to avoid contamination of other surfaces like tables, chairs, and doors. School systems don't want to end up in court if an accident happens. As the children get older they are expected to be more careful and know to avoid danger areas and items.
Sorry, I guess I misstated what I meant. I understand why peanuts are banned (even if I don't like it), but why not other allergens then?
In short, are you trying to tell me that peanut allergies are the worst (as in most life-threatening/dangerous) and most easily triggered?
\n\n
I don't think its that they are the worst... bee stings can kill easily too. Its that apparently very very tiny traces of peanut dust or oil can cause the reaction. The only way to prevent a reaction is to remove the substance. Most allergens like pollen and pet dander don't kill people. (Yes, the asthma attack they trigger can kill, but asthma can be controlled with medication and I think it takes longer to die from asthma.. you have time to get to the hospital) Allergies to milk or most foods are not a problem unless the person ingests it. I cases where simple touch or inhallation can be fatal they have to take more drastic measures. If it were an allergy to another substance that could also be triggered by touch or inhallation they would ban that substance also. I really wish I could think of a good example but I can't. Migraine headaches are not condusive to thinking clearly.
So, it is the worst in your opinion, since you can think of nothing worse - right?
And ick, a migraine? I am not exactly sure what is the difference between a migraine and a headache is, minus severity.
No I don't think it is the worst. I would need a list of all known allergens and thier effects before I made that decision. In fact, I do know that there are quite a few other allergens that can cause the same, nearly instantly fatal, reaction in a small group of people. Bee stings are an example. I just can't think of an example of another allergen that can cause that reaction by simply touching or inhaling it. I'm sure there are examples and someone else may even think of one.
*grins* Good. I wouldn't mind hearing of one worse and more easily triggered - if you or anyone else thinks of one.
I watched the ReBoot movie it was very very good. But the faces were a little different, like the mouths were wider especially non-viral hexidecimal, and the eyes wer bigger with huge dots in them.
I've always thought that a headache was when your whole head hurt, while a migraine was when half your head hurt (one side or the other) and is much more recurrent. But then, how do you call a headache that hurts only a quarter of your head? Like in the back of one of your eyes, but doesn't extend all the way through. A "migr"?
(And before any of you nitpickers correct me, I'm almost sure that migraine description is wrong. Almost.)
You guessed right.
A migraine is a particular kind of very bad headache. You'd probably have to look it up on a medical site to get a read good of description of it though.
On a completly different note.....
Super Techno Project 2001
Any portion of your head aching is a headache. A migraine is simply a chronic headache. ;)
I was under the impression also that a migraine was somewhat localised. A headache tends to be total.
Now that I think on it, my (severe) headaches (typically begotten from too little sleep or not wearing glasses enough) tend to only affect a part of a side of my brain. Typically my right.
When I've been reading, drawing or looking at the monitor for too long, or too close, a "quarter of a headache" can result from that. I get half headaches sometimes. And if I don't eat my lunch, I end up with a light headache at night. As soon as I eat, it dissapears after a while.
When I get hungry (which is basically all the time minus when I am unconscious or just finished eating), my stomach merely hurts in a specific, empty-feeling way. Eventually, it feels like my stomach is trying to digest itself - and it only keeps getting worse until I eat or until a while passes, then it disappears.
And reemerges. Worse than before.
As for headaches, I consider anything less than disorienting not even a headache. My usual headaches are usually so painful, I can't raise my head. Light causes a little more of negative stimuli than usual, I can feel this accentuated throbbing usually in the front left part of my head.
Given an hour and a half, I can weather them to the point their tolerable. I refuse to take painkillers so long as I can stand.
I almost always have some slight headache. Probably from a combination of monitor radiation and thinking too much.
*shrugs*
I've had a pretty prolific history with headaches.

You live in California.
You dont know what freezing is.
Look kwerkey, earlier this week it was snowing, now it's about +10(That's celcius for those of you who use that odd system) and I can walk around outside in my t-shirt.
The thing I really hate about weather changes like this is that they cause me to get sick very easily...
Its 10.22am and its about 25 celcius here. This means that by around 3pm it will more than likely be around 35.
A normal summers day :-)
Here it's about 278K. Kind of chilly...and celsius is NOT an odd system. Fahrenheit is.
Celsius is based on the state transitions of H2O, the most common molecule on the earth surface, divided in 100 degrees. That's much more logical than fahrenheit which has something to do with human body temperature, if I remember correctly, which isn't even really a constant.
Of course, Kelvin would probably be the best scale to use, for it's as logical as celsius, with a logical starting point as well.
Yeah, sounds like summer to me.
Ottawa varies between +30c and -50c based on the time of year. And in the fall and early spring, it hovers between + and - 10-15, and changes alot. I hate that. Catches my immune system totally off guard. Usually that's the only time of year that I get sick, though this year I've been getting sick more than usual. Seem to have develloped a few odd allergies within the past year too...
It's rather odd, actually.
Nighteye, he was mocking farenheit, you retard.

He should've done so more clearly, then.
Fine, I meant to say "now it's about +10(That's celcius for those of you who use that other odd system)" referring to F.
Sam: That's celcius for those of you who use that odd system.
EotN: Celsius is NOT an odd system.
I mean, syntactically that works. Why do you think he would refer to it in Centigrade first and then say it's an odd system? Isn't that a little . . . well, stupid?
*shrugs*
A lot of people argue the Kelvin unit is silly. Funny thing is, my father keeps trying to tell me that you can say 273°K.
Celsius and Fahrenheit are scales (of which the units are degrees of said scale) and Kelvin is a unit.
That's celcius for those of you who use that odd system
He was talking in celcius. He was clarifying that he was not using farenheit. How much clearer can you get? Everybody got it besides you, so guess where the problem is. Moron.
Kelvins are silly because people just don't deal with temperatures any lower than 250K on any kind of regular basis.
Kelvins make sense because not only are you saying zero energy is zero units, you can do things like percent change in temperature.
So, all in all, centigrade wins because it's much easier than explaining what a Kelvin is every single time to all the morons who don't know.

pfft, the boiling point of liquid (pure) water isn't a constant either.
Besides, as soon as it's not pure, the BP and MP change anyway.
Since this is not worth a thread on it's own, I'll ask this question here:
Can you see the blue square surrounding my signature? I can't at home, but I do at work, in a much darker hue. I didn't know what blue Rich was using, so I took a screenshot of the forum, and used the color picker in photoshop. In theory, it should look the same on most monitors, and make itself "invisible" to the eye.
I can if looking for it, El Caz. There's a difference, but it's hard to see.
Well, Rich chose an odd colour for his forum. I know that when I tried matching it, it was very difficult to get it matched in both IE and Netscape...
The color is #000066
Browsers with fucked image support won't show it right. IE seems to fall into that category.
If you saved your image as 256 color, the 000066 may change to something else. You could try examining the palette, finding out which color is the background, and changing it back to a pure #000066.
Why not make the background of your sig images transparent?
*sigh* What has happened to the good old days?
There was a time when dozens of young girls would swarm me over ICQ just to talk with me, but now what do I get? Dozens of random people telling me about the great deals on pr0nography they have to offer, and nobody who wants to chat in sight...
Try a gif? I don't really use them, but it's worth a shot.
I used the RGB palette. And Rich, your sig suffers the same darker blue hue box problem, but of course, I'm using IE.
I have a rule for chatting with people on ICQ. If their names have more than two characters that aren't official letters I can easily find on my keyboard, I don't answer. There's no sense to it, and it's a pretty flexible rule, but still, it's in effect.
I used to get the lamers that would IM you for no reason except for pron, etc. I'd just put them all on my ignore list.
One time this dude kept on IMing me. I kept asking him why he added me to his list when he didn't know me. He was just like...umm...cause. Yeah that's it! Because! It was funny but then I got bored and put him on ignore too.
Well phew, El Cazador.
I've only one character not on the keyboard. And to this day, I still don't know why I use it. Maybe because then people in StarCraft and the like can't (easily) duplicate my alias? *shrugs*
Well, what good is a ßetaMantis without the ß? BetaMantis doesn't have the same ring to it.
Besides, maybe we can convince somebody to make a keyboard with every unicode character on it this way.
Yes, I KNOW that unicode is a two byte system and thus has 216 characters
Use ASCII, you twit!
I am not touchin' a keyboard with sixty five thousand five hundred and thirty-six characters! I'd stick with two hundred and fifty-six.
ß is two twenty-five in ASCII and two twenty-three in Unicode I believe.
*undertow and MissCheetah offer everyone a nice warm blueberry muffin*
Would you believe I was going to say "one" character instead of two, and then I remembered I have you on the list, so I typed "two"?
There's something about l33t names that gives me a bad first impression.
*gobbles* Is there a special reason for this muffin, or is it out of the kindness of your heart?
Would you believe I was going to say "one" character instead of two, and then I remembered I have you on the list, so I typed "two"?
Hell yes. *laughs* I'm flattered - really - that you remembered me about something so seemingly insignificant.
There's something about l33t names that gives me a bad first impression.
I used it before I knew what l33t was. But that is one reason why I've considered removing the ß. I used it originally to prevent complete morons from using my alias. (People who can't copy and paste, nor know how to type ASCII on a keyboard).
*snags a muffin and inhales it, choking on it*
Damn . . . *coughs* Wrong pipe!
Kindness actually. We just made a big batch of them and are eating some and drinking tea.
You just called me a complete moron without knowing it. No wait! I can copy and paste!
I'm gonna have to add a water cheetah on that pic or something.
Pfft.
My name has even more annoying characters in it.
But it DOES have the good effect of making me the ONLY "VéKTöR" on ICQ (last time I checked), and keeping the random idiots away.
Of course, the story behind the name actually involves those characters being there... it wasn't intended to be "31337" or anything.
*slaps self in the forehead*
Wait, I didn't put -- nevermind, that works.
*wipes sweat from brow* PHEW.
Someone who uses computers regularly and can't copy and paste can't be too swift . . . though, that's probably going to be disproven in a couple of seconds by SOMEONE irate.
Also, I am the only ßetaMantis or BetaMantis or Betamantis or whatever on ICQ, b.net, boneyards, Tribes . . .
Water cheetah?
In spanish, those characters are common. There's actually a key specifically for the tildes (á, é, í, ó, ú), and if you press it using shift, you get the ¨. So that's not so l33t in my book.
*cuts and pastes* ßetaMantis is harder to type for me than Véktör.

Little baby liquid cheetahs running around..... ooooo..........
*sticks out tongue at VéKTöR* Sucker. I'm harder on El Cazador's keyboard!
Now, because I have an English keyboard, VéKTöR's alias (being VéKTöR) is harder to type than my own - since none of ß, é and ö show up on my keyboard and I must enter it by ASCII or Unicode.

In other random news since this is a no topic thread, I'm sick at home with a virus type thing.
It has been raining a lot down here, too. We go from a 1.5 month drought to a lot of rain. But it's all good I guess. I just hope we don't get any tornado warnings/watches.
I was all but told to go home two weeks ago today. I spent two and a half days bedridden from some flu-like bug. My sister had it the week prior we [my family and I] think and my mother's been under the weather lately.
Yeah...my family has what I have too. It's spreading around this area.
Yeah, that's an apparently uncommon thing I do. If I can stand, I am off to work. I just merely WILL myself to do it. It's due to my father, having instilled that silly sense of duty and responsibility in me. I will do work until I am all but told to go home by superiors. If advised to, I will usually reassess my productivity level, and if it's "significantly" lowered, I will go home on their advice.
The last time I was bedridden I think was over two years ago.
*shrugs*
I hope you get better and am certain you will with time.
If it ends up debilitating you, I've always found the best thing to do is to use a washcloth somewhat drenched in tepid to slightly warm or ice cold on your forehead, bury yourself in as many blankets, sheets and comforters you can find and sleep it off. I avoid medication if possible. Besides, if I can't tolerate it, how does taking a drug to stem symptoms and keep going make it better?
Because drugs are good.

I just love the way some christens try to force their religion on everyone else. It's such an arrogent belief system, which is strange considering the fellow that started it and it's named after...
Yes, quite...although the christians suffer the same effect as most other groups: it's the worst elements that stand out most.
I was just watching one of the Deftones concert videos on my computer and laughing. In this video, Chino (the lead singer) is standing on the crowd control fence between the mosh pit and the stage singing, and:
Some jackass grabs the mic and starts yelling into it, and gets punched in the face by one of the crowd control people...
Some other jackass is tearing at Chino's clothing, trying to make a souvenir out of Chino's shirt. He gets punched in the top of the head by Chino, who seems to enjoy wearing a shirt...
Ten seconds later, the same guy or someone else with the same idea is back at it, and has a square foot of shirt torn almost lose and is pulling on it, trying to rip it away from the seam. Chino, without missing a word, screams "What the fuck!" into the mic and throws another punch. The song then ends and Chino climbs back up onto the stage, torn shirt fluttering slightly.
You would think the audience was collectively thinking "Look, a rock star! Kill it! Kill it!" or something...
Yep. The vast majority of the population needs to be destroyed...
Starting with YOU!
*destroys Sam!*
*sigh* Not again...
School continues to be easy and a bit boring...only foruming keeps me awake. Maybe the second week will be more interesting...
At what time do you usually arrive home, Fatty? I shall probably contact you with one of these here newfangled telephone machines...
I stayed home again today feeling worse today than the other days this week. I went to the doctor too, and got some medicine
so I should be better soon.I get home between quarter after four and quarter af -- wait, you were talking to the OTHER Fatty, weren't you?
Erm, yes, actually.
And, now the moment that you've all been waiting for... pics of MissCheetah and I! :)
These were taken on Monday, in my apartment, in case you're curious. They're a bit fuzzy, but that's due to the fact that they were taken with my webcam.
*smiles widely*
Yeah, they are a tad fuzzy, unfortunately...
But, still. Awww. They look so...sexy together!
*grins* thank you Shawn
I just wish they were more in focus. Oh well.What were you doing in your apartment, undertow, eh? *grins with as much feigned innocence as possible - which doesn't say much*
I am still trying to decide which to compliment first. *snickers*
Well now MissCheetahs sexiness remains unblemished.
Our friend the rabbit however is in danger of risking his extreme sexiness if he doesnt stop cutting his hair!!!!
*sighs jealously*
Yeah. Damn misscheetah for stealing tow from us.
I don't think its really stealing...that would imply he was unwilling. *grins*
You took him from his cage!
Willing or not, how is that not stealing?
We're the owners here! (Or we were atleast =( )
You kept him in a cage! No wonder he was so willing to come with me. I don't cage him. He also gets fed and petted lots when he is with me.
\n\n
*gasps, placing a hand over his mouth* We CAGED him!?
*Inches backwards, sweating*
WHAT ON EARTH?! Who would do such a thing!!
I demand to know!
*scowls at Term*
That was not very nice of you at all to cage him.
Look, the whole reason behind caging him was to keep things like this from happening... Now look what you've done! You've doomed us all!
*Runs off, screaming*
*snuggles with MC*
thank you for rescuing me
If you took our little boy's virginity, there'll be hell to pay, miss.
*aims shotgun* ANSWER ME, YOU SUCCUBUS! HISS!
Umm Brawnfire, I think the discussion about Shawn and ßetaMantis is in another thread...
*looks at Brawny and purrs*
*flushes in indignation, folding arms and scowling*
My sovereignty is just fine, thank you!
I don't think so. Your sovereignty just chopped your girlfriend up with a chainsaw. Does that sound fine to you?
*has a hearty laugh, then commits seppuku*
I almost choked with a skittle while laughing at this page.
We should all thank Korivak for coming up with the "Posts not worthy of their own thread but fun to read anyway" thread.
On another, less suicidal note...
While I truly hate Bell Sympatico's incompetence, I greatly enjoy Bell Mobility's incompetence. If it weren't for them sucking so badly, they might have realized that I haven't payed my phone bill in the last 5 months and might have cut it off. Luckily for me, they haven't.
I still have to pay a nice big $200 phone bill, but at least I have a job to pay for it with now. =P
I'm not sure who's sexier in that pic.
I'm going to have to say Rob. Sue's right, though. You might as well shave your head if it's that short. LONGER DAMMIT
*has a hearty laugh, then commits seppuku*
Yeah.
For your further amusement, here's more random silliness
*sniff*
cheating on me again.....
You guys look so cute together...I wish i still had my little squirrel friend...
*gives Korivak a big hug*
*smiles*
Well, I'm happy you guys are.
Thanks for the hug, MC...
There certainly are quite a lot of emotions lurking within this thread...
That's why I killed you.
All.
Every one.
Fuck you.
Okay.
I feel fiiine.
I'm getting better.
So I talked to Andie a week ago and asked her if we could get together and talk sometime, and she said she just might have a tiny bit of free time on Thursday, but seeing me any other time all week was flat out impossible. This coming from the girl who can be at my house ten minutes after stepping out her door if she walks slowly...
Well, I wanted to talk, but I had no idea what I was going to say, but it's just as well because two days ago she sent me a single sentence email detailing all the wonderful, productive things she could do with that one little hour of evil nasty dirty free time instead of talking to me about (shudder) emotions and other things that don't fall within her very focussed, very busy, very successful life. And yet, here I am, a love sick moron, sitting next to the phone and checking my email every few minutes, even though I'm more likely to spend the evening discussing advanced particle physics with the Lord Jesus than see the girl who so recently hated to go a day without seeing me at least once.
But more than anything else, I just want to know why after all the pain and misery I've suffered through trying to have a simple, satisfying relationship with a girl that turned out to be cold, emtionless, passionless and frigid, I just can't stop being in love with her. I think I hate her, but I still can't help loving her... How fucked up is that?
Very fucked up.
Very normal.
Augh!
But more than anything else, I just want to know why after all the pain and misery I've suffered through trying to have a simple, satisfying relationship with a girl that turned out to be cold, emtionless, passionless and frigid, I just can't stop being in love with her.
What's more alarming is the parallel structure of our lives at the moment. At least, our romantic ones. Of course, you know of this already.
*sighs, and shrugs* Essentially, it comes down to the fact that she isn't the one for you. Obviously, there are plenty of ladies in this universe who are more open to the prospect of having a symmetrical relationship (regarding what you want in one). Perhaps she'll change, or perhaps she'll find someone like her, whom she can equate with more.
Not that you asked for my opinion. *grins*
But, yeah. Give up on her. Holding onto frustration (and to a certain extent, bitterness) will only create complications when you do speak with her, because that hostility will manifest itself each and every time, causing her to resent you. *sighs again* Trust me, I know.
By taking a break from her, your feelings will begin to subside, eventually. Eventually, you might begin to take note of the fact that she was cold towards you, while still bearing in mind that perhaps she wouldn't behave this way in all relationships. If you're really lucky, you might even be able to speak to each other down the line...
\n\n
The problem is that no matter how much I hate the person she has become, I just can't get over the person that she was. I love the person she once was with all my heart, but that person is dead now, and I just haven't fully accepted it yet.
And I see myself, standing there, holding the bloody knife. The her that was is dead, on the ground, a tear in her eye. The monster she has become is staring straight at me, then turning her head. There is nothing left.
Just a bit of inspiring story-age.
*nods* I know how you feel, exactly. Without going into any specific detail regarding my life here, you ought to know what I am referring to. There is significant contrast when I consider this person in the summer, and currently. I have the ICQ logs to prove it, in fact.
Try not to hate her. I simply think that she has some inner deamons she is potentially avoiding tackling; though, that's the idealistic approach to the situation. The less flattering one explains that she simply wasn't happy with you, and will feel more close and able to open up to someone else, down the line. Frankly, I know you will. And at that point in time I am convinced that you will reflect upon your relatoinship with Andie and see that she simply wasn't the person you were looking for; the person who can meet your expectations and wants inside of a relationship.
"she simply wasn't the person you were looking for; the person who can meet your expectations and wants inside of a relationship."
No fucking shit. If only I weren't so goddamn patient, I would have admitted that long ago and not invested so much in trying to make the whole fucked up mess work...
I think I hate her, but I still can't help loving her... How fucked up is that?
No more than being in love with a girl for 5 years without ever getting even a hint of warmth returned.
You could try simply telling flat out how you feel, not withholding anything, and see how it goes from there. I'd expect it'd either improve a lot or go with a bang, depending on how she feels about the whole thing. But either way the matter should be drawn to a close that way...
As for both loving and hating her, while I have no experience with it myself, people say there's a thin line separating hate and love...
No fucking shit. If only I weren't so goddamn patient, I would have admitted that long ago and not invested so much in trying to make the whole fucked up mess work...
*sighs sadly* I know. And all I can offer are my irritatingly calm words to reassure you. Experiences such as these are what help us define more accurately what we want in any given relationship.
What we expect.
What Andie wanted was completely different than what you wanted, more or less. Hell, even I wouldn't have been able to detect this until recently, myself. I am still learning.
Hopefully, you won't always view it all as "fucked up". It was a guiding post, an object lesson, an experience.
\n\n
As for both loving and hating her, while I have no experience with it myself, people say there's a thin line separating hate and love...
In situations such as these, the individual experiencing the combination of emotions is usually feeling resentment towards the person's current behaviour while fondly recalling previous times in which they felt more content. Unfortunately, people are perpetually changing, and nothing is static. Clinging to an ideal while only increase the heartbreak for the hypothetical individual I am describing.
This is the same goddamn mistake my whole family has always made, to mistake an emotionless person for a rational and calm one...
"In situations such as these, the individual experiencing the combination of emotions is usually feeling resentment towards the person's current behaviour while fondly recalling previous times in which they felt more content."
She used to spend several hours every day with me, and now it's been a month and I have spoken to her for a grand total of about ten fucking minutes on the phone, and never in person. I think that's a bit more than just remembering some slightly fuzzy happy memory with longing...
This is the same goddamn mistake my whole family has always made, to mistake an emotionless person for a rational and calm one...
She is not emotionless. She exists within a protective shell, carefully hiding her emotions. At least, this is how I perceive her behaviour and the behaviour of others.
Again, she might overcome this wall she has constructed, or she will choose to live with it forever, after finding someone whom will have no qualms with her distant nature. Perhaps she will become less distant with someone, based on her experiences with you and others. And so on, and so forth...

Well, it's still essentially what I am suggesting. You remember the Andie that once loved you, and miss that feeling, even though she doesn't feel the same way, anymore. You two are just friends, now, and she has no obligation or commitment to you in the least. It's essentially what she seemed to want, as saddening or frustrating as that is...
\n\n
Well, we talked. She didn't bother coming over or even calling me, instead choosing to talk over ICQ, while no doubt talking to several other friends at the same time so as to maximize her time as she does in all things now. God knows actually dedicating a whole hour this month to me exclusively is right out, even if the topic is very serious.
If the first one to get angry loses an argument, then it was a big race right out of the starting blocks to see which of us would lose first. I've bottled up so much stuff over the last two years, carefully hiding it away like a greedy man hiding away diamonds, desperately sacrificing myself a bit at a time to try to make the relationship as smooth as possible, and she has caused me so much pain and misery, that try as I might, I can't stop myself from hurling anger and hostility at her as hard as I can at every chance. Shawn can vouch for how vicous I can be when angry, wielding the launguage and my talent as a writer like a broadsword. She, on the other hand, has never been one to deal well with even the slightest bit of negitive emotion well, and I would imagine that by now she is quite sick of me, so was in top form to meet hostility and aggression with hostility and stubburness. It was not a pleasent chat. My secret hope was that I might be able to find even the smallest scrap of residual positive emotion towards me and try to build something from it, but I don't think there is such a thing anymore.
It deeply saddens me, because I, like a totally naive romantic fool, though that this would last forever. We got along so well for two whole years, had maybe one minor fight once every year or so, spent hours and hours together, got along perfectly, and were completely in love and best friends at the same time.
But as I look back on it all, I realize that almost the entire relationship was at my expense. I was so in love and so wanted to make things work that I would make any sacrifice and suppress all my wants and needs so as to avoid trying to force her into making a sacrifice. I would probably have spent my life doing the exact same thing if she hadn't lost all intrest in her old life and her old friends and dumped me, but only after several months of stringing me along while I waited for the certain resumption of the relationship. I've been a fucking moron about the whole thing, albeit a sweet, harmless one. Maybe one day I'll stop falling for the ones I can never have and find a girl that is actually calm and quiet, but still sweet and open, instead of girls that are just distant and emotionless...
We talked again, we both apologized, and ended things on a bit better of terms, but I'm still all alone in life...
Your not all alone. You have us.
hmmm
Ok you should probably be scared.
Now to entirely change the subject does anyone know the name of this weeks episode of buffy? The site I usually download it from has been taken down with one of those lovely "I cant legally tell you why my site has been closed........." signs up on it.
I must have my buffy fix!!!
Danke! This thread was becoming ridiculously on-topic!
For forumy goodness
Chat with us all
And the angel of the lord came unto me, snatching me up from my place of slumber. And took me on high, and higher still until we moved to the spaces betwixt the air itself. And he brought me into a vast farmlands of our own midwest. And as we descended, cries of impending doom rose from the soil. One thousand, nay a million voices full of fear. And terror possesed me then. And I begged, "Angel of the Lord, what are these tortured screams?" And the angel said unto me, "These are the cries of the carrots, the cries of the carrots! You see, Reverend Maynard, tomorrow is harvest day and to them it is the holocaust." And I sprang from my slumber drenched in sweat like the tears of one million terrified brothers and roared, "Hear me now, I have seen the light! They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers!" Can I get an amen? Can I get a hallelujah? Thank you Jesus.
Kwerky, why the heck is your post so damn wide?

Fron, get out your kevlar - you misspelt and miscapitalised kwerkey.
\n\n
Is this going to be like what happens when people type "Undertow"?
Obviously, Fron, because you're using a browser that sucks ass. Use Opera.
Yes, actually, it is very much like when you say "Undertow". You'd better run back to your silly little red forum before I decide not to let you anymore.
Aww hell with it. *brings out a cannon and begins firing upon Fron*\n\n
I actually use Opera for everything EXCEPT this forum, as I've had an unusual problem whereby it simply refused to let me log in.
IE works just fine, however.
I feel quite fortunate, however, to be situated far outside standard canon range from you. Unless you convinced Vektor to let you set up an artilery piece in his front yard or something...
if the price is right...
of course, the artillery unit may also be sabotaged for an appropriate sum of money...
and of course, any sabotage purchases may be negated for a certain sum of money...
and of course, any negation purchases may be negated for a large sum of cash.
And so on until someone stops paying.
I leave to go format the internet, and when I come back I found you guys left pretzels and empty beer cans laying all over the damn chatroom. I'll be awake until 3AM cleaning it all up.
It wasnt me!!!
But ummm errr have you seen a pair of black lace panties anywhere?
I had them on before I went in that bubble bath!!!
*hands Sue her panties back* Here you go.
*pauses for a moment* I, um, found them...
Ohhh you did?
Where did you happen to find them?
*blushes* Beside me, actually, as I groggily came to.
Not that it means anything. *clutches his head*
Not that I can remember what happened, either...
*looks at shawn*
*looks at MistressBlue*
umm... I get the feeling you don't want to know...
Shawn dressed up in my underwear and danced on the table did he??\n\n
*eyes go wide* I sure hope not!
*cluthes his head again, this time wincing* All I can remember is something about you telling me to have another drink, and that it was okay, grinning strangely... And you taking me into your room so I could lie down, and...
*shudders* Something ain't right, here...
\n\n
Dont worry Shawn you enjoyed it all I promise *wink*
*blink* *blink blink*
So there IS such a thing as too much information.
Oiy...
*perks head up* Eh, Shawn, that's happened to me a few times too! *taps chin idly* Never ever figured out what happened after that alcohol though. I felt rather good in the morning though, minus being a little parched.
*continues shivering with a blanket wrapped around him*
OMG, I just started hosting this site for a local radio personality. He has a bunch of audio samples of his commercials, and DJing, and voice profiles, etc.
Check out this one.
http://www.charlybutcher.com/audio/CharlyCommercial.mp3
That is almost too funny.
*smiles warmly* Oh come on, Shawn! *wraps an arm around his shoulders* Look on the bright side, whatever happened, it's over and if it was bad, you don't even have to remember it! *pats him on the back reassuringly*
Innuendo... burning... eyes.... *cries*
I wish I had looooooove.
I cast extreme pornography and voeyer cam on everyone
I stayed home again today meaning I stayed home one complete school/work week (5 days). I am feeling 90% better today, too.
As some of you might know, I just received Diablo2...I think I might have gotten it for my birthday in August. GAVAL gave it to me, so I might have gotten it around the time he came in around September 11, 2001. Anyway, I finally defeated Baal, and when I was in Nightmare on level 1 all I could say was TIMMAH because I didn't know what the heck happened. I guess destroying the Worldstone was basically the end or something and now I have to go through the game again to get to hell. I dono...I'm kinda confused.
I'm on level 39 or 40 (I think) for my highest character which is a Barbarian. This is also the one I used to kill Baal.

Pfft, you may THINK you're sexy, but which one of us has a kickass laptop, hmm?
Are you comparing NC to that shelf you have again? Your shelf doesn't even boot anymore, boy, let alone run at 1GHz with a 15' screen pushing 1280x1024 and have both a DVD-ROM and a CD-RW...
It's not a shelf, it's a decoration! And at the moment it's still sitting in one of my drawers(Can't take anything out until I have somewhere in my room to set up book case and hang shelves).
And it does too boot, it just doesn't have an operating system to boot into. =P
I bet yours isn't covered in battle scars(cracks from me trying to open the thing, and leftover sticky stuff from duct tape).
And mine's a nice faded beige colour, what's yours?
*kills continuity*
As much as I want to sit here and run ipconfig once every ten seconds all night long, my shotgun and I have pressing business to atend to down at the Rogers office...
Need to hire a kicking squad? We're always looking for more work.
Speaking of CD-RW's...I broke mine today. It's a 16x HP...I was trying to burn a CD, and it wouldn't work, so as impatient as I am, I pushed the tray in hard (but honestly not hard enough to break it, and now it will not open). Now I have to go bring it back. But it had been giving me a little trouble lately, anyway.
just out of curiosity, have you tried the manual eject pin on the front of the CDRW? (probably just a little hole, but it's quite visible)
might be worth giving that a shot before you disassemble things and cart them somewhere else.
Oh, yeah forgot to mention...I did pry it open gently, and when I did a gear fell out...I was just sitting there like...nice...really great. I think I can exchange it, though.
might be worth giving that a shot before you disassemble things and cart them somewhere else.
Heh...I took it out and out it on my desk ready to be boxed and returned.
Excuse the bragging, but I am impressed with myself and my knowledge of computers. When I got my computer almost 1.5 years ago, I didn't nearly even KNOW what ICQ was...now I've gone from putting in a CD burner to upgrading RAM to reformatting and learning a lot of the basics. I'm kinda proud of myself...especially since I didn't even bother to look at my computer manual...I learned on my own...so yeah I did try it...but like I said..a gear fell out and I just sat there and said to myself, TIMMAH!\n\n
Wait... maybe that's a typo, but how long have you had a computer? It looked like you said 15 years, and nobody knew what ICQ was 15 years ago...
when I got my first x86 computer (I had a C=64 before that) 10 or so years ago, I had no idea what I was doing with it, for the most part (I COULD program in BASIC at age 5, though. Well - a LITTLE before that, but it was limited to PRINT commands)
And lo, now I consider 99% of the population to be... how to put this nicely... "complete fucking retards" when it comes to computers.
You'd think people would take a LITTLE time to learn how to effectively use something they'll likely be using for work and such for the rest of their employed lives.
Oh well, the fact that they don't only makes people with a clue look so much more impressive and smart and such.
Sorry, Fron. Simple typo. It was 1.5, not 15.\n\n
Hehe, it's kinda funny. 6 years or so ago I knew barely nothing about computers, and was still able to install a cd-rom drive(My first cd-rom drive even!).
I knew barely nothing about computers, then I got Cyrus, my IBM Ambra 11E. That thing, while being a decent system at the time: a whole 155mhz(Don't ask me. Cyrix is wierd), 16mb of ram, and a 2.1gb hard drive, was so full of problems it wasn't funny. Being a pre-built system, especially one made by IBM at that time, it had compatibility issues up the wazoo.
I owe most of what I know about computers to having to fix problems on Cyrus. I loathe that system, but in a way, I thank it for making me who I am today. Something on it seems physically damaged now, so it no longer works, but the monitor still sees some action. It's hooked up to Fluufly. Sure it has colour issues and flickers an awful lot, but it's still being put to use, and soon, my grandfather will be using it.
Spankotron is definately the best system I've had, and what's more, I put the entire thing together myself(Minus installing the processor) and had no problems, except the disk drive issue which seemed to solve itself.
I also built Shawns computer(With Korivak's help), since it's nearly identical to mine. He's just got a Geforce2 rather than a Voodoo3, and it as well had no problems, except the disk drive issue which seemed to solve itself.
Easy way around that. Windows 2000 doesn't like being installed on one system and then being transfered over to another, but since my computer was nearly identical, and in Shawns house at the time, I was able to install Win2k on that, and move the hard drive over to his computer.
And in a month or two, I'm going to upgrade Spanky's ram to it's max of 1.5gb or so, since it'll cost me about the same as the 256mb that's in there now cost me a year ago. Then my next step is a Geforce3, and possibly an extra Geforce2(Since mixing other video cards will result in some 3d accelaration not working with dual monitors), and another monitor(I still really want one of those flat LCD ones), and I'll be all set for what I want to use my computer for.
Some people say it's overkill and I'll never need it, but they haven't gone from using a similar system with a 21" monitor for 3DS Max to a half as powerful system with a 17" monitor. I'm getting half the resolution. Dual monitors is extra fun since Max supports it, so I could have my toolbars and stuff on one screen, and my viewports fullscreen on the other. =)
I wonder if having dual mice set up would have any practical benefit (Assuming I could get windows to use two cursors instead of both mice controlling the same one).
How come everybody has money and I don't?
Oh wait, job, right. I need me one of those, $30 /week isn't all that great of an income.
But as I look back on it all, I realize that almost the entire relationship was at my expense. I was so in love and so wanted to make things work that I would make any sacrifice and suppress all my wants and needs so as to avoid trying to force her into making a sacrifice.
Maybe that was what went wrong...a relationship requires balance, giving and taking. By only give you became more like a slave than a partner, not offering any counter-weight (or whatever the term is) to her. By so supressing your owns needs and wants you lose your identity. While exactly that identity is what keeps the relationship together. As noble as such self-sacrifice might seem, becoming a mindless slave is destructive to a relationship. It's just as bad as total dominance over the other.
Eye of the Night, Master of the Obvious. I'm guessing your super hero cape is...blue. You seem like a blue caped super hero to me.
Let's help Mr. Dumbass again.
You see Nighteye...chicks are like cats. They require attention. Lots of attention. If you ARE a cat lover, you GIVE those cats lots of attention out of love.
Since men love women, men often treat women like cats. We give women lots of attention. We give them gifts and flatter them-->tell them how nice they look and tell them to keep their heads up when they are feeling down. It's not being a slave. It's FEELING and having EMOTIONS for someone that you care for. And in a lot of cases if you don't show your girl a lot of attention, you get dumped.
Another thing I can say is that love (which you are too stupid to know about) makes people do crazy things. And when you are in love, you will dothe craziest things for the one you care about...from taking her to dinner, movies, buying her expensive things even though you really can't afford it.
It's not being a slave, dumbass...it's being in love and caring for someone.
Raider, you obviously know nothing about it, and really should look for a pair of glasses.
Like I already said, a relationship is about giving and taking, and about balance. To give exclusively is a bad thing, and that doesn't mean you shouldn't give at all, Mr. jump-to-obviously-wrong-conclusions.
Raider, you obviously know nothing about it, and really should look for a pair of glasses.
I have contacts. Come up with something to support this.
You have no clue, do you?
Like I already said, a relationship is about giving and taking, and about balance. WRONG. A relationship is about giving, and you take what you are given...relationships have NOTHING to do with balance. To give exclusively is a bad thingHow is this? To make a relationship work you have to go half the way and the other person has to too. You give...she receives and is thankful and will show you love for what you have done., and that doesn't mean you shouldn't give at all, Mr. jump-to-obviously-wrong-conclusions. I never said you said that, Mr. Dumbass.
Please go away, Nighteye. My brain CAN NOT take your stupidity any longer. You fail to prove me wrong, and you fail to amuse me in any way, type or form.
A relationship is about giving, and you take what you are given
IF you're given something. And that's what I mean by taking: if you give a LOT more than you receive, talk about it. Don't put ignore it and let it fester.
Which also says something about balance.
How is this? To make a relationship work you have to go half the way and the other person has to too. You give...she receives and is thankful and will show you love for what you have done.
"and the other person has to too." Exactly what I've been saying. Do you even comprehend even a tiny bit of what you read? What you overlook is that it also happens sometimes that a girl isn't thankful when given something, but expects it, and is scorned when she is not given it.
I never said you said that, Mr. Dumbass.
Didn't you? Then what about your ranting about the virtues of giving, rather than actually replying to my arguments? The implication was overly obvious. Even a fool would notice it...that you didn't...
Well, draw your own conclusions...if you can.
IF you're given something. And that's what I mean by taking: if you give a LOT more than you receive, talk about it. Don't put ignore it and let it fester.

No. Be happy with giving even though you are not receiving
Exactly what I've been saying. Do you even comprehend even a tiny bit of what you read? What you overlook is that it also happens sometimes that a girl isn't thankful when given something, but expects it, and is scorned when she is not given it.
I shouldn't have said has. I should have said needs. You don't HAVE to do anything to have a good relationship. If a girl doesn't receive what she wants, or doesn't like the person because she didn't receive something, then that's her problem. The guy did as much as he could.
Do you even comprehend even a tiny bit of what you read?Obviously I do that more than you do.
and that doesn't mean you shouldn't give at all
Didn't you? Then what about your ranting about the virtues of giving, rather than actually replying to my arguments? The implication was overly obvious. Even a fool would notice it...that you didn't..
Show me one time where I said that you said people shouldn't give. People don't have to give. People may not give anything, but be perfectly happy with their love...I still do not believe in that balance system. If one gives more than the other so what? The one that gives shouldn't expect MUCH if ANYTHING in return anyway.
No. Be happy with giving even though you are not receiving
And how long would you keep that up? 80 years? And what good would you be to a girl on the long term, if you show no backbone at all?
The guy did as much as he could.
No. He could talk about it with her, and by so doing possibly save the relationship.
The one that gives shouldn't expect MUCH if ANYTHING in return anyway.
Yes, not in return. The one that gives MAY expect to be given about as much as he gives, not in return for what he gives, but for who he is; the same reason he gives - for who she is.
Okay...I HAVE to go study after this post...so this is my last post for a while
And how long would you keep that up? 80 years? And what good would you be to a girl on the long term, if you show no backbone at all?
It should keep up a long time. The girl and the guy (really) should both be happy that they have themselves.
And what good would you be to a girl on the long term, if you show no backbone at all?
Show backbone? What do you mean by that. Clarify that. You aren't amusing if you don't WANT to receive? I think that's bull. You can be amusing (even though that's not the word I'm looking for) in many ways...there are many different ways that you can show you're a cool person and what ways? That's determined by the guy himself.
*anger*
Ah, NightEye, you have sunk to a new low. First of all, you are creating excessive continuity in my thread, which is strongly discouraged. If you really must go on and on about this topic, please create a new thread, Topic: Discussing the details of Matt's miserable love life at great length, Subtopic: 'Cuz I just don't know when to quit!, because I don't want your lingustic poison in my thread any longer.
Which brings me to my next point...shut up about my personal life. Sure, I posted some stuff on a public forum because I wanted someone to talk to, and then I stopped almost immediatly and let it drop. You, on the other hand, have turned this, like everything that you rub your greasy prose on, into a tedious, extended debate. And while you are normally talking out of your ass when you post, you're even worse this time because you're trying to discuss my love life, which only two people in the world are qualified to do.
So shut up.
*kills continuity*
Nothing of great interest happened today, so to avoid boredom and a chance of sliding into bitter black thoughts, I watched Cowboy Bebop. Episode after episode of Bebop. The whole last two thirds of the series, in fact, except for the last three episodes, which I'm about to watch now. I have a soft spot for dark, melodramatic love stories, and the end of Bebop is most certainly that.
In other news, we just whupped Raiders ass in the Rubber Room.
That's what he gets for picking a fight with one of my personalities...
Take THAT Raider!\n\n
"Whooped my ass?"
Nah...you are just a good spammer
Raider is, in fact, being more ridiculous than Eye of the Night in this instance. First, he compared women to cats with a strange simplification, and then made it clear that successful relationships do not have to be symmetrical.
I don't care if he has "contacts". I have repeated experience with both mature and immature relationships, firsthand. Experience contradicts most of Raider's claims instantaneously, though common sense is also working against him. The same can be said about Nighteye, though.
In short: You're both useless.
Anybody who tries to give relationships as a whole one statement IS wrong.
People are individuals. Attempting to define all of the romantic/sexual/etc. aspects of all mankind with one definiton would be difficult enough (and impossible, I beleive), without doing it two at a time.
Every possible relationship, every of the trillion or whatever different possible pairings of human beings has different sides to it then the other. Every partner has different needs and wants and goals. To do what some of you are trying to do is foolish.
In class, we are learning basic HTML. My personal website is done in standards complient HTML 4.01 with full CSS formatting and a totally liquid layout that uses no tables, just <div> tags powered by CSS, with some SSI to make updating the site less tedious. Guess who's bored out of his mind...\n\n
I remember when I was in "Internet" class in which we were taught HTML and I had to tell the teacher how to do things. This was the class we spent two weeks on search engines (which I can teach you everything you need to know in ten minutes, and yes, that includes the computer boot time).
I also remember a half-week before the exam one guy turned around (our backs were facing one another) and asked me what the "b" tag was.
I was speechless for about two seconds, then blinked, then iterated "Um, it's the bold tag . . .". I was thanked and then I continued to stare blankly at the guy's back.
Only then I think I realised why the course was so damned simple. Not to bore me, but to cater to people like him.
Use your spare time to learn some scripting.
Flat HTML is 'square', man
omg
Just ignore me
Show backbone? What do you mean by that.
Simply put: not letting her walk over you.
Korivak, it moved beyond anything related to you to the general topic. And besides, the thread IS called "random", which not only means that the topics within are random, but also that the lenght of discussion about each topic is random. So that includes the occasional long-winded discussion.
The same can be said about Nighteye, though.
You don't know dutch women.
Anybody who tries to give relationships as a whole one statement IS wrong.
True...but it isn't completely random/unpredictable. Statements can be made that apply to the majority...
I just took those classes, Beta.
Information Highway, that's what they call 'em damned modules 'roun' these parts.
Most of the first module consists of becoming experienced on several search engines. What the fucking WHY???
And, yeah, my teacher is a complete idiot as well.
I was called upon to show him how to take a screenshot recently...
My World History II teacher did not know Geoffrey Plantagenet, my namesake. He was the father of Henry II of England! JOLLY GOD!
That made me giggle.
Do not give me shit about "Dutch women", you clueless yutz.
You lack experience with relationships in general, and the comments both you and Raider are making are very silly and quite aptly display said lack of experience. Others agree, even if they are not as terribly vocal regarding it.
Argue this previous paragraph all you wish, but my perceptions of your previous comments are not likely to change. Argue that I have some predisposition towards you if you want, but I will consistently disagree with you when you claim such things. Argue definitions or make more outrageous-yet-vague-and-unfounded claims if it tickles your fancy, but I shall ignore them after briefly labeling them what they are.
In short: Give it up, already.
And this thread is for random, unconnected thoughts, as opposed to entire discussions. Create a "Relationships" thread so you can spout your utter bullshit and theories about ze women if you so wish, but stop bickering with everyone in this thread. Korivak created it, and now Korivak is asking you to kindly shut the fuck up, you pretentious, unpopular nincompoop.

Speaking of random crap... man I love seeing some of the stuff people put in passport application envelopes.
Today I got a rather thick envelope, and I knew that meant one of two things: a few sets of divorce papers, or something fun. It turned out to be something fun indeed.
Upon opening it, I pulled out two things. One was a large newspaper image of Tiger Wood's face with a few other pictures of him, cut out of a newspaper, glued to it, with writing on it. Looked like passages from a book of some sort. It was glued to a cardboard frame, and at the top, in different handwriting, was written "Do I care if you all kill me I dont think so!!!! If and when is my promble na you all seem!!", I copied that down cause it seemed rather odd.
Along with that was a letter. The letter, in the same writing as the quotes on the newspaper image, but not the thing at the top, was about sorcerers and stuff. I think it eventually went on to quote Nostradamus.
And to top it all off, whoever it was didn't even send a passport application!!!
It's amazing what shows up in passport application envelopes...
Anthrax?
ROFL!
I never even saw the dutch women thing. What a FUCKING Idiot!

This, as the Random Thread, is actually quite hard to spam. That's sorta the point, remember. Now just because you don't like what's taking place in the random threod doesn't mean you get to change the rules on page 15. If you want a thread with an actual topic, start one.
Random Thread #2864 is supposed to be for random, unconnected, and sometimes silly posts, and as such, long, tedious debates are considered off topic and thus spam.
See? We're changing the topic right now!

Change the topic now, boy!

Late nights with homework when you need to be sure not to wake your parents up are less entertaining than that.
Why must I always procrastinate? You'd think I'd have learned after 16 years of life, but no.
kwerkey, because, like me
a) it gets done the fastest when you have the most stress, so you have the least amount of time used but with the most pressure.
b) you can't procrastinate anymore in good conscience because you know you won't get it done otherwise,
c) you like challenging yourself because in this situation you actually have an obvious time limit,
d) you're a lazy moron and/or
e) you just don't get it?

All of them but E, I guess.

We're learning about tables now. Right now, we're discussing tables for information, but soon we'll be doing tables for layout. I personally don't use tables for layout, but the CSS box model is counter-intuitive as hell, which makes it a difficult skill to learn.
*sighs* I slept in, today, and missed school. I am going to update my journal, soon. I'm actually more frustrated since I have to leave for work in less than four hours. I'm going to do some homework before I go, just to ease my throbbing conscience. And read a little, I suppose...
Is it weird when you can almost get a scotch tape roll around both your wrists, or three-quarters of the way over your bicep?
Mind me, I'm on a caffiene high.
(EDIT: Did I mention this tape roll has an inner diameter of three inches?)\n\n
I could never get CSS box layouts to work as well as tables. I don't know if it's a limitation in the system, or if there's just something I'm overlooking.
I always wondered why absolute positioning always is based on just the page. Why can't you make it work off a particular containing element?
The box model is pretty confusing, but once you figure it out, you can do some damn good layout work and never touch tables. Basically, in CSS everything has a box around it, so building a page is like playing with building blocks as a kid. In CSS, you build outwards, adding new things above, below, to the left or right of existing objects, but with tables, you build inwards, slicing up a block of space into smaller and smaller sections. Trying to use CSS the same way you would use tables doesn't work, it requires a whole new approach.
Surely you don't mean scotch tape... scotch tape is the clear mildy adhesive tape that comes in the little rolls... do you mean masking tape?
Please say yes.
: I always wondered why absolute positioning always is based on just the page. Why can't you make it work off a particular containing element?
That's what relative positioning is for? Am I misunderstanding here..?
: he box model is pretty confusing, but once you figure it out, you can do some damn good layout work and never touch tables.
Here's the problem I have with CSS layouts. Say I have a lot of tabular data, and I don't know how much data in advance is going to be there. If I wanted to align the boxes, like a calendar, I need to create it on a column-by-column basis rather than a row-by-row basis, which is difficult and less efficient programatically.
That's what I just don't understand. Again, maybe I just haven't played with it enough.
Osiris:
Isn't tabular data what tables are for?
Brawnfire:
I'm guessing he actually means packing tape, which is clear and comes in bigger rolls than Scotch tape.

Yes, that is exactly how it came to me. confused=me.
: Isn't tabular data what tables are for?
Yeah! hehe, but what I'm getting at is that some people act like CSS DIVs and positioning can replace any table scenario, and I just can't seem to be able to do it with any accuracy. At the very least, they just don't work as easily as tables.
\n\n
Why would you make a table with CSS? That makes no sense at all. CSS is for visual appearance only, HTML tables are for table data. They're designed for what they're meant for, not for what their not meant for...
Make up your mind. One minute you're saying if you master CSS box layouts, you can do away with tables, and the next you're patronizing me for questioning if that's possible.
\n\n
You can do away with using tables for layout with CSS. If you need a table for presenting data (the original purpose of tables), then tables always were and always will be the best way of doing it...
Alright, that's where you lost me the first time.
Still, I maintain that there are people who claim you can do everything with CSS, and I'd like to find out exactly what they mean by that.
Pfft, CSS really is all you need. Nobody uses HTML anymore, XML is stupid, and XHTML is horrible.
You might need some Javascript here and there to make your page reload if somebody tries to leave, but that's just extra credit.
We should just convert the entire WWW to flash/shockwave and get it over with.
I have no opposition to this course of action.
The dial up users won't like being forced to use Macromedia viewers, and neither will the anti-proprietary folks.
Dial-up users should have switched to broadband months ago, and if they haven't, then they have no right being here.
As for proprietary crap, umm... Flash roxxors?
<tone base="prepared response" subtone="people telling me to go away because I've got a 56k line"> You have no business telling me what I can and can't access. Go fuck yourself. </tone>
\n\n
Flash and Shockwave, when used in moderation, can greatly enhance the "experience" a site can deliver.
And couldn't I just have my significant other do that for me instead? It's way more fun that way.
I am well aware of that.... and yes; that seems to be a superior option.
Bleh.
Flash is annoying.
What about all the poor souls, running lynx on VT100 terminals? huh? WHAT ABOUT THEM?
On a completely unrelated note, for an OAC computers project, I did an all-flash site with tons of pretty graphics and such.
It was ungodly large and stupid, but I learned long ago that when it comes to high school CS projects, the actual APPLICATION of said project doesn't matter. Efficiency doesn't matter. Standards-compliance doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is impressing the class so you get high "peer evaluation" marks from the people who couldn't tell strncmp from strcmpi if their life depended on it.
All you need to do is talk about how "oh, all modern browsers either ship with flash or support the plugin" anyway.
Blah. HS was SUCH a waste of time when it came to CS.
Hell, the day we spent sitting around making Cat-5 patch cables was probably more useful than anything else... err - because I got to grab some cables and take them home for personal use. Heh, heh.

I doubt broadband will ever come out here, the phone line can barely support sub 56k speeds, and there isnt even cable tv here (except for the line they ran special for our house, no one else has cable. everyone else wants satellite out here I guess, so they never felt the need to wire the houses for cable.)

*laughs* I've had a few memorable duels with Shade's cousins, actually. But you're probably referring to the time when I had a now-infamous, lengthly battle with one of her cousins in her basement at the CWAL get together, last March.
What wasn't shown was my subsequent victory after play possum, curled up in a ball on the ground. It was all a part of my clever, intricate strategy... *chuckles nervously*

Yeah, Shawn, so was my footrest thing . . .
*grins at Big Z* Funny how he deliberately misspells kwerkey, yet spelt it correctly in point two. Why do you put periods after the "Ya"s and not points two and four? And no spaces after the numbers of the indexed list? Deplorable!

Big Z, I was being sarcastic when I said that (X)HTML and XML suck. Of course they don't suck, they all have their place. The problem is that some people act as if they don't, saying that CSS can practically replace HTML, or that XML 0wnz0rz j00r 4ss.

I think cannons would be an acceptable form of transportation.
Yes, but only on the condition that you added a feature that aimed EOTN's cannon at piles of broken glass and brick walls and elephents...
If you're using cannons as a form of propulsion, aiming EOTN's at dangerous things would send him awayfrom them...
Of course, I see how this could be a good thing; we don't want to cause him any more brain damage and then suffer the consequences whenever he posts.
I see the logic in that.
Propel an object towards another object, and they will become further apart.
Wait, no, that makes no sense.
It's the bottom of page 15 all over again.
God, why do I do this to myself.
Let me see if I can explain this, Bevy, using pretty pictures because you failed to understand words...

*hunts down EOTN so he can fill him full of liquid iron so the magnets work better*
actually, what you need is some kind of very highly conductive outer shell.
What you can do then is run a very strong electrical current through the projectile, at a perpendicular angle to a very strong magnetic field. Run both of these fields perpendicular to the direction you want the force to be applied, and go!
Having some REALLY big-ass capacitors helps, as you can release a LOT of energy into the system in a very short amount of time without the use of your own personal nuclear power plant. Just make sure the chassis and components can stand the kinds of energy you're putting into this thing.
Oh, and REALLY spend time making sure you calculate your normals right.
Wouldn't do to get it backwards and have the slug fire BACK into the control mechanisms and... err... user.
Shhh... I wanna fill him with liquid iron... *slips you a twenty* ....ok?
no problem.
And build me a railgun while you're at it.
I don't have the materials...
Did anyone else notice in that nifty picture, you start with Eye or the Night and end up with Eye on Bad Stuff? Sounds like a moonlit stroll in the partk gone horribly, horribly wrong.
Which could, indeed, explain quite a bit.
If you're using the item shot out of the cannon to propel EOTN, well, that's a different story, then you simply aim at whatever you want him to hit, provided he's actually between the cannon and the target, but if you plan to propel him using the cannon itself (now making the assumption he is attached to it or somethign of similar relevance), then I am right, you'd want to aim the opposite direction, because the blast will send you away from wherever you are aiming.
Also, (either way, I'm more right than wrong), as clearification, I, for some reason, assumed it was some big flying nuclear comic book photon ray cannon or something. =)
Bevy Bevy Bevy,
EotN is not attached to the cannon. He's in the cannon. As the ammunition.
We very much want to point the cannon at the bad stuff, as EotN will be propelled away from the cannon at a very high velocity, and into the bad stuff. Where the cannon goes after we fire EotN out of it is quite irrelevant.
Of course, we're smart around here, and have accounted for recoil. That way, the cannon won't fly away on us in some random direction, so it will still be there when we decide to fire you out of it.
Edit: Spelling mistake. Oh, and if you are about to use the "what about the lack of gunpowder in EotN" argument, I highly suggest you go to the circus. If the circus can fire people out of cannons, then by gum we can too.
\n\n
besides, very few old cannons had their ammunition and propellant in one nice convenient package.
You just jam the gunpowder down the barrel, followed by EOTN.
Actually, a breech-loader would be even better, but probably overly complicated for the simple application we'll be using this for.
There's no wrong way to shoot NightEye out of a cannon.

Computers Versus Cars
Bill Gates, CEO of Microsoft, reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1,000 miles per gallon."
Recently General Motors addressed this comment by releasing this statement:
"Yes, but would you want your car to crash twice a day?"
1. Every time they repainted the lines on the road you would have to buy a new car.
2. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason, and you would just accept this, restart, and drive on.
3. Occasionally, executing a maneuver would cause your car to stop and fail and you would have to re-install the engine. For some strange reason, you would accept this, too.
4. You could only have one person in the car at a time, unless you bought CarNT. But, then you would have to buy more seats.
5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast, twice as easy to drive, but would only run on five percent of the roads.
6. The Macintosh car owners would get expensive Microsoft upgrades to their cars, which would make their cars run much slower.
7. The oil, gas, and alternator warning lights would be replaced by a single "general car default" warning light.
8. New seats would force everyone to have the same size butt.
9. The airbag system would say "Are you sure?" before going off.
10. If you were involved in a crash, you would have no idea what happened.
Do you know what the scary thing is about that article? I saw it in my grade twelve or OAC physics class, I forget which.
That's three and a bit to five years ago.
oh, the gloriously BAD and TACKY stuff we had in physics & chem classes.
Like the teacher's decision to play that song where they sing the entire periodic table of elements during one of our tests.
Hmm
come to think of it, Gr. 12 physics was GLORY.
See, our experiments semi-regularly involved demonstrating said experiment by making FOOD with lab equipment.
Why can forget the s'mores we made with bunsen burners?
Roasting marshmallows over a hot blue natural gas flame is just SO WRONG, but it feels so GOOD! (partial decomposition of gelatin saccharides)
And the time we made toffee in class (glassy solids).
And the time we made peanut brittle in class (glassy solids again. I think he REALLY liked that topic)
mmm.
More classes should be taught with the aid of FOOD.
You guys had gas? Lucky bastards.
You see, in my Grade 8 year (the year before High School), there was a...minor accident at what was then my future high school.
A science lab blew up.
Fortunately, nobody was seriously hurt, and it caused a lot more smoke than actual explosion/debris/fire/pain/lots of pain/etc. Unfortunately, it meant that the gas was turned off in all science labs, and to my knowledge it was never turned back on, with the exception of one lab.
Of course, that meant the science teachers got to play with butane torches when they needed an open flame.
Roasting marshmallows on a hot plate is far messier, and not nearly as much fun.
I just fixed a typo in my new sig...for some reason, I consistently miss-abbreviated Twit Of The Night...can't imagine what I was thinking...
*smacks forehead*
*chuckles* I am the bestest at conjuring up hilarious nicknames for individuals. I am so proud of my creation(s)!
Was it you who came up with Mantits - one of a number of aliases generated from my own autodesignated one?
Edit: Apparently, I can't punctuate questions correctly.\n\n
Hmm.
Well they called me Sparky in Gr. 12 physics because I had this thing... where I sort of tended to pass electricity MEANT for experiments through my body.
I've only done it a few times, I swear!
*narrows eyes* Haven't I already splurged forth a set of nicknames I've been given? Perhaps I should go seek it.
Yes, I was the innovator of Mantits, if I remember correctly.
I also came up with Blinky, as well. *grins*
And Fatboy...and the Four Horsemen designations...
[Edit: Well, Mantits came up with Famine for himself first, actually...]
\n\n
The more I think about it, the more Famine fits me . . .
EDIT: Amusing, you edit your post to say that I came up with it as I say I think it fits me really well. *laughs*\n\n
And it all pales when compared to your most recent masterpiece:
Twit Of The Night
*giggles*
I've wondered if Eye of the Night was a pun, actually.
As in, it meant he was blind due to being in darkness perpetually. Or if it was meant as a self-compliment meaning he could see what others could not.
Or both.
Or neither.
Or I'm ramblin'.
I seems to recall him posting in the "Where did you get your nickname" thread, saying that it was just something that "sounded cool", but I'm not sure...
Awwwww, I don't remember that thread!
I actually have a number of reasons for this alias. Even if a couple are "It's different." and "It sounds interesting."
I had more AFTER choosing it too (such as every typo you could make with it tends to be funny. It's due to the alternating consonants and vowels, I believe).
Shaggy!
Word yo.
Say, are you going to that thing in February, DNY?
Alas no.
Money and such. Low funds.
But, we will be up around June or a few months there after.
Awwwwww.
*hesitates*
How much do you need to fork out to get up here?
I killed my first deer last Sunday. Only a spike, though...still a nice deer.
There was a HUGE deer killed right where we hunt. The circumference of the base of the deer's antlers is almost 6 inches. BIG DEER! It almost sank the guys pirogue twice when he tried to bring it out. I have a picture from an arcticle, but I don't have any webspace to put it on
Anyway, that was for those who appreciate hunting.
And those who do not appreciate hunting can, of course, call you a murderer. I myself will not however, because the deer might've been eaten afterwards, although food probably wasn't the primary reason for killing that deer, which would be just as bad - but that's all speculation.
I think I shall say this for everyone, as I am sure most of us are thinking it:
If we're going to argue about something, let's at least do it in just one thread. Keep it in the Breast Feedin', 'kay?
Nighteye.
People can call hunters a murderer. This is an argument that will probably never end because we (the forumers) never come to an agreement on this subject.
See, I am a Catholic. I believe in God. I see it this way. God put animals on Earth for people to kill and eat to survive. He also added horns which makes people want to kill. Yes, some people will kill and waste the meat (it is certain that SOME people do that). REAL sportsmen in my eyes kill for the trophy and the meat. Hunters respect one another, and killing a deer doesn't mean that you are a murderer. I see it like this. God put humans on Earth to expand and multiply. He put animals on Earth for meat, some for pets, etc. That is my view. If you don't believe in God, oh well.
Yes, I intend to keep it limited to that single reply in this thread. So unless there's another reply in this thread I have to respond to about the topic...
Yes, I understand your viewpoint. I myself don't believe in God, or any other almighty entity for that matter. But I believe in spirits.
We are spirits inhabiting a human body, and just the same, there are spirits inhabiting the body of a deer. Each spirit uses it's body to play a part in a sort of massive role-playing-game.
Robbing another spirit of it's avatar (or body) without a good cause would not be fair play. No matter the kind of avatar that spirit is using.
Oh great.
A religious justification.
I don't accept your nice planned-out faith doled out in convenient little parcels of salvation to the masses.
You utterly fail to convince me of your argument, Chause.
Now, I won't argue AGAINST you per se, as I don't personally think there's anything wrong with hunting in and of itself.
Just that your justification of it needs some serious rethinking.
I mean, by your logic, shouldn't you be out shooting homosexuals too?
*blinks at Raider's post*
You believe you're superior to animals because God made them that way?
Uh, Raider . . .
His reasoning seems perfectly valid to me.
They _are_ there to eat, whether or not you believe it's a manifestation of god.
I'm not Christian but I don't see anything wrong with his belief.
God made humans
God made humans his favorite
God made animals
God says "Human go eat that, and while your at it, burn some with fire to please me"
It's not the "animals make good food" or equivalent comments that I disagree with.
It's the "the sole reasons animals exist is for humans to exploit" that I disagree with.
It's just too bloody species-egotistical, going around saying that the sole purpose of the Earth is for our personal gain.
The Earth is here, we're on it.
Animals are on it too, and some species (and derivatives thereof) have been around way longer than humans have.
They all have their own complex interactions too (re: the food chain, predator/prey population cycles, etc.)
To think that everything around us was put here for the sole express purpose of being exploited by us, as a species, is a little over the top.
ßeta and Vektor.
ßeta, I never said we should shoot animals because we are superior, and Vektor, I never said animals are here only for us to annihilate. I will restate MY belief, and I will leave it at this.
God first made humans. Then he made animals, etc. He made animals for people to survive off of, and he made humans prosper throughout the world. Without animals, we wouldn't have food. I don't go out and shoot for the heck of it. I don't go out and shoot JUST for fun. I go for meat, a nice rack, and good quality animals. God made us to eat SOME of the animals he created, some to befriend, some to later be studied (dinosaurs).
So let me say it better.
God made humans to prosper (multiply) in this world. He picked us to be superior (in thinking, etc.) than other Earth creatures. He gave us the things we needed to survive, and this includes meat such as deer, squirrel, etc. We USE this meat, and we USE it to survive as well as to boast on the quality of this animal that we are able to kill. I think he put horns on deer, for example, for us to have SOME pride, not just meat, in what we killed. He put meat there and we should use it to prosper. I never said we should shoot them because we are superior to them, and I never said that we need to go on a war against animals and annihiliate them, either.
Everyone can have their own opinion on this, and no Vektor, I'm not really YET referring to this as an argument, therefore I don't see the need for me to spend so much time supporting my opinions. After all, all they are are my opinions. Now realize that if I did see this more of an argument, I would try to support my opinions more.
There's my two cents, and I stand at that. If you don't understand what I am saying, maybe someone else can explain what I'm trying to say in simpler terms.
Raider, your statement that humans were the first creatures is wrong.
Your statement that humans "subdued" dinosaurs is wrong. Humans never existed at the same point in time as dinosaurs -- the big lizards came first.
And even if we DID, how can you possibly claim humans killed them off? They were physically superior to us in just about every way. I doubt that many of the primitive instruments that would theoretically be available at that point in history would be physically capable of enabling us to hunt them to extinction, even if our numbers WERE sufficient to do such, which all evidence regarding population trends would suggest it WOULDN'T be.
And I'm not claiming that you said because we're superior, we're supposed to go out and shoot them all for the hell of it.
The word I used was exploit -- which means basically to employ to the advantage of self, or something reasonably similar. Exploit doesn't necessarily convey a negative or evil intent.
All I'm saying is that it's bloody arrogant to believe that all the Earth, and every living thing on it was created soley for our benefit.
So, in short, you've missed my core point entirely, thinking that I'm contending that it's evil to kill animals or whatnot (I basically agree with you on everything BUT the reasoning for your conclusions). In addition, you've also outright disregarded everything we know about the development of the Earth, and stated blatant falsehoods (Humans existed before dinosaurs).
I meant dinosaurs came before, of course, but then I started off from the beginning of man-kind.
Err...too tired tonight
All I'm saying is that it's bloody arrogant to believe that all the Earth, and every living thing on it was created soley for our benefit.
Well heck if that's the case, then we shouldn't kill cows for hamburgers, either.

I misinterpreted, sorry.

Read above. I KNOW dinosaurs came first, I just started at the beginning of man-kind.

I'm not even a christian, and yet I'm still fairly sure that if he existed, he made humans with free will, (i.e. no purpose).
It's funny when so called "christians" contradict their own religions. Just like the whole tolerance thing that 99.99999999999999% of them seem to have to contradict in the most annoying way possible.
Ehh, not only that they came first, but that they never occupied the Earth at the same time as far as we know.
Anyway, I'm NOT saying I'm against killing animals for food and such.
I AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT.
just not your justification of it.
See, here's the difference broken down:
Raider: Animals and the Earth were created for mankind to exploit.
Vekky: Animals and the Earth exist because that's the way they developed. It just happens that we developed in a way such that it's convenient for us to exploit them.
There's nothing inherently wrong about making hamburgers from a cow (although it's becoming increasingly harder to find burgers that actually ARE made from cow
) -- in fact, I enjoy hamburgers (REAL ONES. The kind we make ourself without the filler. On the BBQ... mmmmm!) quite a bit.All I'm saying is that the cow wasn't created specifically to serve our needs. They just happened to be there, and provide a source of food, so we ate them. It's just the natural order of things.
Given, I'm not much for organized religions, or really any kind of religion that I've encountered to date. The way I see things, is that humans are just another animal. Given, we've developed complex communities and social structures, technology, medicines, physics, contemplated existence, the meaing of life, etc. But despite all that, we are still just animals -- albeit relatively advanced ones (comparable to the other species we've encountered at any rate). Our existences have no more inherent worth than any other animal. Given, we may be inherently superior in many ways (mental capability would be a good starting point) -- we are also inferior in many ways (your average human can't outrun a fairly large number of the species living on our planet, for example)
For my opinion and definition of humanity, refer to the main agent in The Matrix. He'll tell you everything you need to know.
Agent Smith:
I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I've realized that you are not actually mammals.
Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment. But you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area.
There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is?
A virus.
I thing Agent Smith's views were bland and cliche...and you sound like Proman, using movie lines instead of actual facts or original opinions. This is the same movie where the world was said to be a giant computer simulation...makes for a cool story, but take everything in it with a grain of salt, ok?
*sighs* Get your fucking argument out of this thread, you willpower-lacking nincompoops!
Twit of the Night especially, as he stated "I shan't argue anymore!" and then replied to his own post with a retort to something Raider/Chause had written.
*slaps Nighttwit, hard* Get out of this thread, hypocrite.
My opinion corresponds with his. He put it in much better words than I could have.
You ARE claiming nobody on the earth shares your opinion, or that such is ideal.
What you are NOT doing is proving anybody wrong.
Shawn> I never made any type of comment suggesting that I was planning to leave or any kind of comment that suggested I'm lacking in willpower...
I'll just assforume (Ahh, this band style wagon thing is comfy) that you weren't talking to me.
It was a reply to anyone participating in the "Is hunting wrong/murder?" debate, initiated by that pretentious fuck known simply as Twit of the Night.
Could you possibly clearify why me engaging slightly in a debate started by EOTN ("twit" of the night? How in the hell is that clever...?) suggests I lack will power and should concede?
You're not making any sense to me...
I'd kind of like it if you guys would stop going through this same goddamn tired debate in my thread. I have, in my life, spent more time listening to and trying to avoid this debate than a great many other, more pleasent things, and going through it all yet again makes me feel tired and pissed off. I have found that this is an issue that can be discussed forever without any kind of conclusion for the simple fact that everyone has a strong opinion on it and no one will ever change that opinion. (I'm sure NightTwit is drooling over that idea...)
If you want to get into this shit, don't bring it in my thread. Thank you.
You're violating the primary tenet of the random thread!
"Post whatever pops into your head, no matter how silly" (or some permutation thereof)
Besides, who really owns this thread?
Do you have the authority to delegate what bytes are written, where on Rich's server?
*grins*
Naaaah, I'm just screwin' with ya.
Shut the fuck up.
Quit calling it your thread, it being such holds no relevance.
You said there was no topic, Richard has stated that banning is possible on request of the owner of a thread if it is being drawn off-topic, but you said it yourself "It can't be of topic if there is no topic", so just quit trying to act all high and mighty.
Aside from that, you've posted your opinion about this debate, and then when it gets mashed you cry? Fucking shut up.
Or, out of some semblence of a dying concept known as respect, Eye of the Night could have (and could easily still) create an entirely new thread in which to rant without disturbing this thread.
Also, thoughts are meant to be unconnected. This is a break from the elongated arguments which plague every other thread in existence, you buffoon.
Besides, who really owns this thread?

*sighs* RStefan01 often complains when threads are taken even remotely off-topic. Also, he has punished forum posters before at the request of the topic creator. There has been a precedent which has been set, so Korivak is not more or less insane for appealing to that precedent. So poo poo on you, good sir.
I had this debate, at great length, three days ago. And a week ago. And a month ago. And a month and a half ago. I have never been able to change anyone's opinion, and mine has never been changed either. Ever. If you must have this debate again, give it it's own thread and I'll not even bother reading it. But #2864 is for light hearted, rapidly changing topics. Extended debates are niether. Now leave me alone.
*points to the last two lines of his post*
And you apparently reply before reading the entire post.
So poo on you, good sir!
*sticks out tongue*
You can't just make the rules. Get off your fuckin' high horse. Jesus christ.
Anyhow, Korivak, unless you're just gonna keep using this chickenshit escape route, would you mind telling me why this:
"My opinion corresponds with his. He put it in much better words than I could have.
You ARE claiming nobody on the earth shares your opinion, or that such is ideal.
What you are NOT doing is proving anybody wrong." is wrong?
And Shawn, unless you're gonna be an ass too, though I doubt it, could you also answer my question: "Could you possibly clearify why me engaging slightly in a debate started by EOTN ("twit" of the night? How in the hell is that clever...?) suggests I lack will power and should concede?"
I did read your entire post, smartass. Despite the fact that you were being clearly sarcastic, I felt you had missed important details which rendered your point silly.
I'm more perceptive than you give me credit for.
Now go find someone else to pester.
I think he was talking to Bevy, sir...
I dunno, it looked like the only real point you were trying to impress upon me was that it was fine for Korivak to make said request, and I think the "Naaaah, just screwin with ya!" at the end was pretty clear in making it known that the post was not ment in any real serious manner.
EDIT:
I doubt the part to which I refer was "talking to Bevy", as he quoted a portion of my original post.
\n\n
Random thought: I love my flannel jammie pants.
*sighs* Does no one have common sense?
That was primarily a response to Eye of the Night, you dolt -- hence the paragraph directly below it, mentioning him in specific.
I told participants that they lacked willpower because they couldn't resist an argument whenever it sprung itself, despite the inappropriate. Eye of the Night demonstrated this by saying he would cease arguing, only to hilariously respond to his very own post.
If it helps your ego, I did not have you in mind at all when I had written that post. *grins*
Now I'm confused.
Who the hell is talking to who?
"Anyhow, Korivak, unless you're just gonna keep using this chickenshit escape route, would you mind telling me why this:
"My opinion corresponds with his. He put it in much better words than I could have.

I gave up debating earlier this year. I find I can no longer tolerate the style of debate which has become popular in the world. It strikes me as a bunch of juvanile posturing and ad hominim assualts mixed with tired cliches and far more passion than reason. It's silly and I am content with my life without being forced into asserting intillectual dominence on everyone else to feed my ego. I just want to talk and make light hearted sarcastic remarks these days. Go talk to NightEye (the NightTwit thing is, as always, a rediculous joke...) if you want a long debate...

All I'm saying is that the cow wasn't created specifically to serve our needs. They just happened to be there, and provide a source of food, so we ate them. It's just the natural order of things.
Deer also "just happened to be there, and provide a source of food." Killing a cow and killing a deer, or a dog, or a cat for that matter is all the same thing, right?
Given, I'm not much for organized religions, or really any kind of religion that I've encountered to date. The way I see things, is that humans are just another animal. Given, we've developed complex communities and social structures, technology, medicines, physics, contemplated existence, the meaing of life, etc. But despite all that, we are still just animals -- albeit relatively advanced ones (comparable to the other species we've encountered at any rate). Our existences have no more inherent worth than any other animal. Given, we may be inherently superior in many ways (mental capability would be a good starting point) -- we are also inferior in many ways (your average human can't outrun a fairly large number of the species living on our planet, for example)
Even though we do have SOME inferiorities, I still can't see how you can believe humans are animals. We have minds, animals have instincts, and that's about it. They rely more on instincts than their mind.

I'd kind of like it if you guys would stop going through this same goddamn tired debate in my thread. I have, in my life, spent more time listening to and trying to avoid this debate than a great many other, more pleasent things, and going through it all yet again makes me feel tired and pissed off. I have found that this is an issue that can be discussed forever without any kind of conclusion for the simple fact that everyone has a strong opinion on it and no one will ever change that opinion. (I'm sure NightTwit is drooling over that idea...)
If you want to get into this shit, don't bring it in my thread. Thank you.
Okay...this is MY last argumentive post on this thread UNLESS I see the need to argue. Korivak, as much as I hate to say it, I have to agree with Bevy here. This is a RANDOM THREAD meaning that it doesn't have a topic. It can be spammed and argued, etc. You can't come in and say stop discussing random arguments in the random thread. It doesn't make sense. EVEN THOUGH you made this thread, it technically isn't yours because it has NO point, and it's more for the people (other forumers) than it is for you. If you would have been asking for assitance, advice, etc. it would be a different story. You just don't have the right to come in and say, "Stop discussing this argument in MY thread because I have discussed it many of times before and haven't gotten anywhere!" It doesn't make sense because:
Okay...there's my argumentive 2 cents. I will respond in response to this argument if necessary, but if no further discussion comes about, this argument drops.

Go away, we're talking about jammies.
*Burns all the jammies*
"In the last few days, kwerkey's birthday thread and MissCheetah's introduction thread have been very popular and hideously off topic. So rather than crap up other people's threads or make a bunch of individual threads full of sillyness, I made this...Thread #2864. Feel free to post whatever pops into your head, no matter how silly or pointless."
Let me just try to clarify this for once and for all: I made this thread for silly little posts without much continuity as an escape from the seriousness and bickering of the rest of the forum. I'm getting tired of this whole "there's no topic, so I can ruin it for everyone else and there's nothing you can do about it!" or "it's not your thread, so you have no control over what goes on in it, totally ignoring the long standing precident of content control given to topic starters on this forum" stuff. If you want to debate at great lengths, fly at it. Just please don't do it in the only thread on the forum that was started with the sole purpose of giving people a place to post where there's no rules against sillyness and no tedious debates...
*kills all continuity*
I love new fallen snow...it makes the whole world so clean and crisp and bright and fresh. It's a good thing it finally snowed, too, because I was really getting stuck in a rut with the really long slightly-above-freezing-and-raining-non-stop-gray-and-miserable late fall we've been having for so long.
*sighs* Despite the fact that RStefan01 has complied time and time again with the wishes of a topic creator in clearing out what the topic creator considers to be off-topic spam, let us assume hypothetically that Raider is correct. Despite the fact that he's claiming that he knows better than Korivak why the thread was initially created by Koirivak, let us pretend that he is correct.
So what?
Even were this true, he's still being an ass by joining Twit of the Night in continuing a debate in this thread. He's completely ignoring repeated requests of the topic creator to keep this thread free of serious posts. He's ignoring the wishes of others who post here, as well. Even were he hypothetically correct, he's still being very disrespectful and immature by continuing a debate here simply because he can.

*sighs* I enjoyed the snow when it first fell yesterday, but winter in general tends to have a negative effect on my overall mood...
Believe it or not, I prefer the grey, dark, damp and cool type of weather more than any other.
Unfortunately, I live in Rochester. We have two seasons of blazing hot and bright white sun, then two seasons of deep snow and freezing cold.
So I'm only happy when it rains.
As is Garbage.
And I live in Ottawa, Ontario. The weather here is eerily similar to the weather in New York. But slightly colder.
*has posted the first post on page 20*

I love the number 20... I have no idea why, but all my life it has been my favorite number. I'm happy that #2864 reached 20 pages.

Fnarr.
Jammies -- I just use a very large housecoat.
Works for me, and it's warm + comfortable to boot.
Weather:
Err, well it's an odd year. Living in Canada (this part of it anyway), we only got our FIRST SNOW of the year yesterday, in the middle of December. By all rights, we should be half-buried under the stuff by now. And as we speak, it's > 0°C outside, so it's all melting again anyway. It's going to be > 0°C tomorrow and Monday as well, with rain.
This snow isn't going to last.
We usually accumulate snow in November.
Hell, I can personally remember it being cold enough to snow a bit on Halloween before (nothing accumulated though).
I agree about the grey weather thing.
Sunny weather is nice and all, but it's usually uncomfortably warm or too damn bright to be comfortable (then again, I am a little photosensitive).
Light rain is good, in that it usually feels nice, moderate to heavy rain bites.
Cloudy skies are nice.
20 isn't that great.
42 is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.
7 is MY number. Stay the hell away from it or I'll have Leroy here *gestures at a hulking, stupid looking half-ogre* visit your families some night.
We rarely get snow here and even when we do we only get a couple of inches..most of the time. Then there are the freak winters we get several storms of over 8". Even 2 inches is enough to close schools here for at least a day. 8" closes them for a week. The road crews are quite inept. I guess as a student I did not complain though
It's mostly just cold and grey here in the winter although this month we keep having lots of days in the highs 60's to low 70's F (near 20 degrees C for those who use that system). I would really love it if it would just stay warm and sunny all year. Winter is depressing and I get cold really quickly.I am a true child of the north. I was born in the very northern most part of New York State, right on the Canadian border, lived there until I was 12, then moved an hour north to Ottawa. All my life, I've lived in the same climate. If the weather doesn't go from really warm to freezing cold and back again once every six months, it just doesn't feel right to me. I wouldn't be able to live somewhere without really drastic seasons...
On weather:
Right now it's in the 50's and 60's over here. I like that type of weather, but I want it to get really cold for a better hunting season.
On this
*throws party for everyone but Raider and Twit Of The Night*
*Puts gun to your head and another on Twiteye.*\n\n
Eye of the Night especially, as he stated "I shan't argue anymore!" and then replied to his own post with a retort to something Raider/Chause had written.
I only said I'd try not to argue about the immorality of kiling a deer on a hunt. And I haven't. The reply was only about religious views, still related to hunting since that was what brought it up, but that's all. Just religious views.
On that I have one more comment: Most organized religions claim humans are the superior species, in one way or another. Yet who created these religions? Humans.
And now for something entirely different:

I liked it when the Intro thread was dedicated to the hunting of EotN. We had such fun adventures in the helovan with the coffee syrup machine. *sigh* Too bad someone had to go and decide to take over as DM instead of let chaos reign as we desired.
NightTwit's a Discordian! It all makes sense now! That's why he never made a scrap of sense in all the time he posted here...
I liked that story-thread, too. *takes out a notepad and starts writing*
*appears in a blank storyspace*
Hmmm...lonely place...
*trees appear and create a forest scene*
Good, now wait for a story and other actors. A picknick or meeting should be a good place to start out, and then the story could migrate to another thread when it's not random enough anymore.
I will not participate in a thread where EotN is in control. That was what happened to the Intro thread. He took control and took away all the fun tech gadgets. We prefered random chaos with the ultimate goal of destroying EotN and then maybe taking a vacation with MistressBlue or El Caz. *grumbles* At some point I really should write a story from that thread. I have the lost pages on my comp I believe.
I didn't take away anything. I simply tried to give the thing enough structure to avoid contradictions that might eventually mess up the entire story. That it ended with the end of that story anyway was rather unexpected, to say the least.

Well, as ususal, that made no sense. Did it occur to you that I did not want you to be in control of MY thread. I was quite pleased with the lack of structure. We were having fun and the major chars knew what was going on. Your "structure" was not asked for and was not needed.
but structure is EVIL!
It was supposed to be pure, unrefined random babbling with no coherent structure at all.
Hmm.. I remember seeing snow in this thread. *grabs some of the snow from the Canadians and pelts Matt, Shawn, and Tom with snowballs* *giggles and grins*
*hits you in the center of mass with a big, fat snowball*
All you ever needed to do was say so in that thread. But, I suppose, if I really was the cause of that story's premature ending, I should apologize. So, hereby, I'm sorry.

Stop flaunting your snow, people.

Me.
It's a nice picture, but it won't save you from the snowballs!
*notices no one is throwing any at him*
ha! I am immune! *steps out into the middle of things only to see several snowballs on impact trajectories with his noggin*
eep.
Hmm.. You don't look much like a snowman Matt.
eek! Is snowbunny ok?
My snowperson better have cat ears and a tail.
It has ears...it has *stumbles*...had a tail, as well...*holds up arms protectively and runs for cover*
*spies EotN and carefuly aims at his back* *throws and hits* *giggles* snowball fights are so much fun!
You should come to Ottawa. We have trees and do-it-yourself snowball kits. We call them "yards"...
*rubs his back* Damn, I'm hit. *fashions 3 snowbunnies and chucks them at MC*

snowbunnies?? but I like snowbunnies... *catches the snowbunnies and saves them* *pelts EotN with another snowball* *grins*
Alas, I cannot travel to Ottawa right now for real snowball fights.
*gets out her thermos of unending hot cocoa and pours undertow a nice big cup and hands it to him in a blue mug*
Anyone else need cocoa?
Take your time, MC...we'll have snow here for a long, long time yet. Besides, I suspect it's too cold for the snow to stick tonight...

It's fun to be childish and immature, sometimes.
Last March, several CWALers (Archangel, Akardam, DarthNinny and I) had a snowball fight -- in a graveyard, no less. It ended with DarthNinny jumping me and the two of us rolling down a nearby hill.
Good Times™.
I missed that.. it would have been fun. That was Sunday, right? The day I had to leave... oh well.
It would be nice to have a memory of a snowball fight that didn't end with my face being shoved into the snow so deep that I couldn't breathe, and winding up with a mouthful of snow and gravel.
*decides not to go on about his gradeschool years anymore due to the fact that this is a happy thread*

With hips of my minisculity (noun, the fact or condition of being miniscule or extremely small. Synonym of "smallness"), it may not be that hard . . . even if my pants are almost as small.
In all truth, I expected you to tackle me, steal my pants and ask me where my belongings were so you could amusingly deprive me of my remaining ones as well.

3.) Meant

Sovereignty is a good thing, something to strive to preserve. Interpretation is key to our perception of the world we live in. What I meant by that, well...do not judge the value of words by your perception of the person(s) you see using them. *grin*

Entropy!
here I am, rock you like a hurricane!
I still remember my high school chemesty teacher's demonstration of entropy. "This is a beaker," he said, holding up same and walking around the room. "Right now, it exists in a state of order. But it wants to exist in a more random state." He then turned towards the front of the room and whipped the beaker at the black board, where it flew apart into a state of entropy. He then proceded to do this same domonstration with a titration tube with a broken tip and a cracked ten litre bastard child of a bucket and beaker. Great demo. He was alway blowing something up or creating poison gas or teasing the students. It was my favourite class that whole year.
The most alarming thing about that BetaPants picture is how I can't even tell which ones I wrote and which ones Vektor wrote.
I think I wrote the sideways red one, but that's just by memory.
(Thinks)
There is only one interpretation for this. I must kill Vektor to preserve the sovereignty of my handwriting.
Edit:
In reply to Korivak, I wam quite certain that my chemistry teacher would do the same were it not for the fact that the equipment is a tad too expensive to randomly break.
Despite the practical restrictions on his antics, it IS definitely one of my most entertaining classes.\n\n
Ah, but all the glassware he used was already broken. It was all chipped or cracked, so he threw it out with an extra step in the process...
I always liked the exact same example of entropy that the MC Hawking mp3 uses
namely, using EGGS!
(too bad we didn't cook them on the bunsen burners afterwards. We cooked a LOT of stuff in chemistry and physics class using lab equipment)

Oh fun. Looks like my peanut allergy extends into other types of nuts as well. And it appears that I'm starting to have a problem with sea food.

What fun.
*grins at Shawn* You just must accept your personal filth as part of you and then no one can bug you with it! *giggles*
you haven't been to a dentist in years?
err - why?
And I understand j00 (to blatantly rip Megatokyo's claim). One of my wisdom teeth is coming in SIDEWAYS of all things -- so it's pushing against the teeth already there (it's coming in the direction of the teeth, not sticking out into my cheek or tongue or anything).
Not a big deal, I just have to get it removed, along with the one on top above it. I can keep two of mine! Ha!
I really don't know why I haven't seen one in years, I just haven't gotten around to it.
Oh, and it looks like I'm not allergic to sea food after all. After having a bowl of rice for breakfast this morning, I've come to realize that it was most likely the rice in the sushi I ate that was bothering me rather than the fishy stuff.
Though not having tried wasabi before, everyone tried to convince me to take a really big spoonful of it. I decided against it due to the fact that it was given to us in such a small proportion(Probably for a reason) and because everyone kept insisting on it.
Could this lack of dentistry have an effect on your big huge scary evil mouth disease?
No, that's my tongue. And I'm sure my doctor would have said something if it may have been due to that.
Unrelated note: I would like nothing better than to throw myself through a glass window.
That is all.
*blink*
That's a goal you're sure to achieve!
Sugar/movie glass, or sand/real glass?
*pauses for a moment* Well, the former would be fun, now that you mention it...
*jumps through sugar glass*
waahooo
that is fun
*eats glass*
Where the hell is everybody? It's Friday night and there's only 4 people online, only one of whom is actually replying to me.
I suppose I answered my own question, though.

awww poor kwerkey.
Korivak, Sexay, and Mantis were all enjoying "real life"...it was kinda cool...
what is this "real life" you speak of?
I recall something, not unlike a dream, where there were forumers in all 3 dimensions and I heard strange sounds coming from their mouths, but it was so different than text I could not comprehend it.

Kinda emotional, though.
Real life is like that sometimes...but I'm hoping it will calm down a bit in the next few months, because frankly, all this exessive emotion crap is really wearing me out...
You folks are over in Ontario eh?
How many posters here are in your group, and I want names, NAMES DAMNIT!

*shrugs* Try living with them for twenty years.

Try not having to deal with it for twenty years and then suddenly being thrust in to depression without much practice or experience...
Sam!, Sexay, and I are good friends IRL. So is Random Crispy, but he's not much of a forumer. BetaMantis and Seraph both live nearby, and I've met Seraph once and BJ twice, including tonight.
You'll be fine.
I'd equate being emotionally unstable and depressed as being 'worse' than being generally stoic and then suddenly upset at the loss of a relationship.
One's sudden, harsh, but also temporary. The other is cosntant, plaguing, and defeating.
Either way, it's not--and never ought to be--a competition.
Try throwing around your emotional situations and see whose crushes whose first. Nice pissing contest.
I'm not trying to make a compitition out of it, just pointing out that in the end, we are both suffering in our own ways.

Hence why I said: "Either way, it's not--and never ought to be--a competition."
i wrote that a good few minutes before you said that. im a lazy ass and didn't post until later. lo siento
Well, since this is the Random Thread,
We (my family) exchanged gifts today. I got a bunch of really cool stuff and among this stuff is WinXP (which I have now installed and downloading updates and patches), an mp3 player, a sterling silver chain, clothes, 7 different types of cologne (spelling?), a candle, other small things, pictures of deer and a good picture of a Lab (dog) and its pup. I like Labs. My cousin gave me a picture of my grandmother (on my dad's side) who raised me, but passed away several of years ago. *sighs* Ah, well...I guess it had to happen sooner or later, but we sure do miss her. My dad gave me a cool Browning hunting jacket like he has, too. And to get something from my dad is cool because he usually doesn't get me anything, but I don't really complain.
Anyway, all my gifts are pretty cool, and overall it was a good day...the only thing that sucks is having to install all of these damn patches.
I got a mixture of beer bread. Apparently you mix in a can of beer and bake it in an oven, and it makes bread. Who knows. I'll go pick up a can of pabst and try it out! HAHA LOLOL FESTIVITY!!!
Other than that, I just gave a bunch of gifts to my son. My wife got me metal gear for the PS2, and I got her a compilation of The Onion articles, some fancy-schmancy mint tea, and a french press single serving coffee maker.
Ah, Irishchu is so delightfully wonderful.
=)
Man...there's a shitload of patches for WinXP, but it is very cool...I'll admit that.
Okey I'm not one to take cracks at people, but I can't resist myself on this one...
SEVEN types of cologne!? Man, they must be trying to tell you something!
hahaha LOL! ok back to the old self.
We don't exchange presents, we just dump them under the tree and open them in... Nochebuena. Holy Night or Good Night or whatever the night of the 24th is called in english.
I'll be getting clothes, probably shirts since I said very loudly and directly that I needed a few new ones. My GF decided not to buy a new game for me and got me one of those excercise thingies they sell on t.v. to make your abdomen look like a tiled board and blah blah blah, I just know this thing will end up under my bed soon enough. Oh, and some cool new shorts I'm getting from her, so I don't have to pop up in every pic I take of myself wearing the same black ones.
There's also a mystery package from my brother, that doesn't exactly look like clothes. I hope it's hardware or software. I'm not sure. And from my side, I gave away:
To my girlfriend: A watch.
To my big brother: A long sleeved sweater, since he likes them and this one looked particularly cool.
To my smaller brother: Reef rubber shoes, very practical in summer and an indirect way of telling him to STOP USING MINE!
To my sister: She's not around, so I sent her nothing, except my best wishes for a happy Christmas.
To my mother: Looking for some comfy bed clothes for her (3-4 bucks each), couldn't find them and ended up buying her earrings ($54).
To a good friend of mine and his smaller brother, who love their nintendo64: No N64 games that they liked, so I gave each $20.
And to myself... nothing. I need some boards to put stuff up so my desk doesn't look so crammed and a cd case thingie. It seems no one cathed these indirect messages I slipped around, so I guess I'll have to get them myself.
In english it's called the night of the 24th. In most english cultures it's called Chrsitmas Eve.
"Irishchu! I choose you!"
*sniff*
no one ever chooses me
*throws a Pokeball at Trey's head*
Lord Trey! I chose you!
You're not a Pokémon, or however you spell their accursed name. *chuckles*
SEVEN types of cologne!? Man, they must be trying to tell you something!
hahaha LOL! ok back to the old self.
*Cries*
ha.
Nah, I think they knew I needed some because I was on one of my last bottles, and I wasn't going to buy any until after Christmas...that and she probably got a discount on them or got them free because she works for Avon, and they sometimes send more than what was ordered, or they will send some just for the heck of it.
Edit> Oh, and 6 out of the seven came from that one person I mentioned...if that makes it any better, or...or...or...*Continues crying because of El Cazador*\n\n
My girlfriend is partial to a cologne called "Tsar". Pretty good. She loves to smell me when I'm wearing it. It's almost a pheromone.
I'm a soap and deodorant kinda guy, but I wear it every now and then when I want her to enjoy my cutesy wutesy pinchable version.
