^_^ Alrighty Brion
-
There's no need for this thread.
-
The purpose of the thread is for points of conversation that don't really belong in any other thread and/or don't warrant a thread unto themselves.
For instance, I might mention that I'm having some computer trouble just to be friendly and let my fellow forumites know or some such garbage. No need to clog the lists of topics with a new one.
It works for minor chats and comments, etc.
On the Shadowgirls forum, I created a "The Last Post Wins" thread for all that simple talk.
-
On the Shadowgirls forum, I created a "The Last Post Wins" thread for all that simple talk.
Exactly. I created one here for the exact same reason, ha.
-
The problem I find with trying to chat in the last post wins thread is that stuff gets lost in the clutter. If I wanna post something like "anybody good with computers?" in the last post thread I'm going to have to dig through trounds of posts to find it 2 hours later... and the post may have never even been noticed. But in this thread it moves MUCH more slowly because people aren't looking to "win" persay. It has it's place if you ask me.
-
Aw, the quoting is so pretty.
You know, the new smileys are sortof cool, I'll be abusing them alot.
No you must have read me wrong, I'm sure I wrote "using". ;D
-
That brings me to another good point about the last post wins thread. Choke full o Non-sequitur
-
Damn, that's a really good point, I guess.
-

Meh. I like the old smiles better. Like this one :o is all googly eyes, when I perfer just an emberessed face, then I have to use this one :-[. The best smiles I know about are on the Mtgsalvation.com forums. Yeah, thems some good smiles, mm hmm!
-
I actually miss the old days, where smileys were just text and you could read into them as you liked, now they're just...yeah, no imagination.
-
I think there might be a way you can turn the smiley's off when you do just the text
-
Yes, but they are still there. So I'll end up using them and not realizing it, so that would ruin the point.
-
That's true I guess
-
What's your favorite mexican food?
-
Tortillas.
But despite the fact I like hot food, I'm not that big a fan of Mexican food for some reason.
Whats your favorite Australian food?
-
Fried Dingos?
-
Never had Dingo, but I guess it'd taste much like a dog. Kangaroo is an excellent feed but personally I think damper (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damper_(food)) would rate as my favorite. Other common Aussie tucker includes Lamingtons and Pavlova, although other foods such as Meat Pies are often though of as typical Aussie feed.
-
You guys eat 'roos? Really? :'(
-
damper doesn't seem like there's much to it..what makes it delicious?
also: can someone tell me what do <.< and >.> mean? forgive my ignorance. I think it means sort of like you're averting your eyes, sort of looking off to the side, perhaps shyly or perhaps slyly, but I'm not sure...
-
look left and right, or sideways at someone <.<
Damper is simple but it tastes bloody beautiful. I'm not sure exactly why but it acutally has a lot of flavour and it's somehow both soft and almost creamy.
Great stuff.
@AApo: Yep, we eat roos. They're not an endangered species, their VERY common and they're farmed in places. They are very resistant to drought, have less weight spread across wider feet (so they don't trample the ground as easily) and they breed REALLY fast (can have one outside the pouch, one in the pouch and one waiting to be born). They also nibble just the green tips of grass rather than rip up the whole clump like a cow, thus allowing it to grow back much quicker.
The reasons they're not commonly farmed are: 1 you need a bloody big/good fence to keep 'em in. 2 They heard together but unlike cattle and sheep, they scatter when threatened rather than stick together for an easy muster. 3 unlike the word steak or mutton, people think instantly of a cute kangaroo when they hear they're eating roo.
-
Hmmm a 'rooo steak sounds good (http://www.pushupstairs.com/images/emoticon/extra3/drooling.gif)
-
3 unlike the word steak or mutton, people think instantly of a cute kangaroo when they hear they're eating roo.
Exactly, how can you eat something that hops? But yeah, I guess if people can eat rabbit, it's not surprising that people eat a 'roo.
Also, it took me a second to realize "AApo was me, ha, "Admiral" or "Sieck" next time if ya don't wanna say the whole thing, please.
-
Hmmm a 'rooo steak sounds good (http://www.pushupstairs.com/images/emoticon/extra3/drooling.gif)
I agree. sounds tasty.
@Admiral
Rabbits hops, and them's good eaten'. :-*
-
Charles, would you take one of us around if we visited you?
(mainly to bars? ;D)
My wife and I have always wanted to visit, sometimes we live in Taiwan, which is just a short (and relatively inexpensive) hop over. Can we look you up?
Do people in Australia say "down under"?
on a side note, I'm still surprised that Oddball keeps making me LOL.
-
wait there's new smilies? so what happened to the wave smilie and hug smilie I asked for? :-\
am loving the new heartsie smilie :-*
-
Yes, we call Australia 'Down Under' as well as 'The Great South Land'. Yes I can take you around. I live in Brisbane, Queensland. Personally I think it's one of the best places to visit for tourists. We've got the sun and surf nearby as well as most of the ammusement parks and Australia Zoo (Steve Irwin's own). Sydney has the Harbour Bridge and Opera house but it's probably better known for the history sites and museums if you like that sort of tourist experience.
Brisbane is known to many Australias as BrisVegas (although I think California probably has a lot more in common for comparison)
-
"on a side note, I'm still surprised that Oddball keeps making me LOL."
BLUDDY HELL!!!! :o :o Umber what have i done diffrently in here?
-
lol You remind me of Monty Python for some reason Odd.
-
Hmmm a 'rooo steak sounds good (http://www.pushupstairs.com/images/emoticon/extra3/drooling.gif)
I don't know but this post made me crack up like 5 times b/c I kept seeing it while I was typing my post. Now I see that the image is called drooling.gif, but yesterday I thought it was a dude vomiting, so I thought you were being totally sarcastic...
should have known better. A Scotsman would think a 'roo looks totally delicious. :D
-
if its food Ill eat it.....as long as its not Mushrooms they are evil looking fuckers and must die!
(http://www.pushupstairs.com/images/emoticon/extra2/ALD.gif)
and i do have all 4 series of MPFC on my shelves ;D
-
Ah, another MP fan, eh? Then I'll ask you this question and see if you answer correctly.
What is the best Monty Python film?
-
ah now for me it has to be the Holy Grail but not the meaning of life and i have three out of the four films they have made.
-
Damn. That's wrong. The correct answer (which so few get) is Life of Brian.
-
But life of brian ends so sadly. :(
I like the Meaning of Life!
It has all the best songs! "Every sperm is Sacred" is made of asomesause! :-*
-
But life of brian ends so sadly. :(
Not if you remember to always look on the bright side of death!
-
;) Oh, but does it contain the words "Bloody Catholics, filling up the Bloody world with Bloody people they can't aford to Bloody feed." That line is comic GOLD! GOLD I TELLS YOU! :o
-
I'm going to heartily agree with Sieck that Life of Brian is The Best MP film. I could easily see a case being made for Meaning of Life or Holy Grail, though I would still disagree. I don't think I know what the other one is...
I just love the combination of history, theology, ridiculous humor, and scathing satire. Holy Grail's got the period aspect, but doesn't have christianity as its main target.
The way they use the character of Brian too just speaks volumes of truth about all kinds of shit. But mostly I like it for the silly lines. "I've been here five years, they only turned me right-side-up last week!"
"spare a talent for an ex-leper sir?" bwahahahaha!
X-leper Alms for an ex-leper. Bloody donkey owners. All the same aren't they.
Never have any change. Oh, here's a touch.
--------[Brian and his mum walk along the street.]
Spare a talent for an old ex-leper.
MC Buzz off.
X-leper [Still following] Spare a talent for an old ex-leper.
MC A talent? That's more than he earns in a month.
X-leper Half a talent then.
MC Now go away.
X-leper Come on, bignose. Let's haggle.
Brian What?
X-leper All right. Cut the haggling . Say you open at one sheckle, I start
at two thousand, we close about eighteen hundred.
Brian No.
X-leper Seventeen-fifty?
MC Go away.
X-leper Seventeen-fourty.
MC Look. Will you leave him alone.
X-leper All right... two sheckles. Just two. Isn't this fun, eh?
MC Look. He's not giving you any money, so piss off.
X-leper All right, sir. My final offer: Half a sheckle for an old ex-leper.
Brian Did you say EX-leper?
X-leper That's right, sir. 16 years behind the bell, and proud of it, sir.
Brian Well what happened?
X-leper Oh, cured sir.
Brian Cured?
X-leper Yes, a bloody miracle sir, God bless you.
Brian Well who cured you?
X-leper Jesus did, sir. I was hopping along, minding my own business. All of
a sudden, up he comes, cures me. One minute I'm a leper with a trade,
next minute my livlehood's gone, not so much as a buy your leave...
You're cured, mate. Bloody do-gooder.
Brian Well why don't you go and tell him that you want to be a leper again.
X-leper Ah, I could do that, sir. Yeah, yeah. I could do that I suppose. What
I was thinking was I was going to ask him if he could make me a bit
lame in one leg during the middle of the week. Y'know, something
beggable, but not leprosy, which is a pain in the arse to be blunt,
excuse my french sir, but...
MC Brian. Come and clean your room out.
Brian There you are.
X-leper Thank you, sir, thank... Half a dinari for me bloody life story?
Brian There's no pleasing some people.
X-leper That's just what Jesus said, sir.
-
Woo. Monty.
-
lol this sure is a totally random thread ^_^ ;D
-
nah im a knight who say Ni sort of bloke and i say it to old women when in search of a shrubery. remember THE BLACK KNIGHT ALWAYS TRIUMPHS!!
-
No he doesn't. Look at his flesh wounds!
-
Psh. It was a draw.
-
You have to remember. The Knight can bite your kneecaps, and the fact that they are no longer the Knights who say "Ni" they are now the Knights who say "Eki Eki Eki Kapang whoooopow!". Get it right. lol
My question is:
in the part where the "It" is said, and they say "that the Knights of Ni can not stand that word." Isn't that kind of redundant. Would the Knights that say Eki Eki Eki Kapang Whoooopow stand the word it?
yeah, that proves how much I do not have a life.....>.>
-
but answer me these questions three ere the other side he see!
What is your quest?
what is the arispeed velocity of a unladden swallow?
what is the capital of Assyria?
-
African or European? ;D
-
Umm, is that a European or an African swallow?
EDIT: GAAH! I got ninja'd by a ronin! Freaking homeless samuraij everywhere...
-
is anyone going to tell me what the capital of Assyria is? ???
-
your mom? (oh god that's not some kind of horrible thing to say to a Scotsman is it? You're not going to hunt me down and slash my throat are you?)
Is a "Ronin" a type of swallow?
And in related news, I have been named a moderator. This is the happiest day of my life. I would like to thank Ian Murray Davidson. Possibly some other people, but mainly Ian Murray D.
-
Congradulations Umber! I know you can do it! :-*
-
Ill let you off this time Umber....but just this once. (http://www.pushupstairs.com/images/emoticon/extra3/duel.gif)
how did i get you the job of Mod? and stop calling me Murray!! lol
-
phew...honestly, I would not like to have my throat slashed in the night by a scotsman. I mean, they're so hairy, and then there's the kilt to deal with...
I'm just kidding man..I would love to visit your country, and all Scottish people I have met were wonderful, (though I couldn't understand a word they said, and they got all the girls because they were awesome and had awesome accents). They were all blokes, obviously. Never met a scottish girl I don't think.
Though I would imagine if I went to Scotland everyone would auto-hate me because I'm american.
I was inspired by this image: (http://i565.photobucket.com/albums/ss97/gorby323/ob.jpg) It's very inspiring.
-

It's Assur. Learn to wiki ^_^
-
Changed back to my old sexy avatar so Ronin Angel can recognize me. :P
-
Please don't do that.
-
Do what? Have a sexy avatar?
-
Well Umber glad to be of some service to you and dont worry i love Americans even though i cant eat a whole one on my own. ;D and certainly made that badge pround last night.
-
well ill miss you guys for the next two days.:/ i'm going away for the weekend. :o :-\
-

The girl in your avatar looks like she's 6. Sexy avatars are one thing, avatars with the Pedobear Seal of Approval are quite another.

what'd you do to emprouden the badge?

Bad memory now. Was involved in evacuating most of the residents at work due to a fire starting in one of the rooms. Ended up evacuating two units and having to go through the smoke to get them out. did not get the stand down until 0530 on saturday morning after it started at 0045. unfortunatly there was one fatality the resident recived 70-75% burns and died on saturday afternoon.

Sorry to hear that man. That is horrible.

Well, in anime, you see... targeted to youngsters... sometimes these things are complicated... the culture of Japan is very different.. and um... nevermind. :'(
Isn't funny how whenever someone tries to explain anime or manga they end up sounding like a retarded pervert :(?
-
Seriously though what is wrong with Japanese people?
That sounds racist - it's not supposed to be. But the question still stands!
-
Vending machines with used panties in them.... 'nuff said :P
-
...you haven't answered the question!! You're still asking it!
-
never intended to :P
-

Have I revealed my age on this forum yet?
I'm, uh, 15. So it's totally okay for me to dig the underage crowd.
-
Your profile says 21...o_O
-
You still believe what he (she?/it?) says ?? (lol)
-
on the 'net age and gender are meaningless
-
Believe? That implies I have some stake in the truth. But I'm saying, if he claims to be a certain age, he might as well back it up in the place people are going to check. Or, you know, at least not have a conflicting age there.
-
That's right because we are all overweight geeks living in our parents basement, or in a room full of star wars memorabilia. And the only way you can tell if they are female is if they send you nude pictures with some kind identifier, that would be odd and specifically requested ;D
or thats atleast what others have said>.>;
-
I must be a Nerd then i live in the attic :o :o
-
I'm still not clear on the difference between a geek and a nerd, but I'm pretty sure I'm somewhat both, but not entirely either.
-
Your profile says 21...o_O
....god dammit...
-
I think it's slightly better to be a geek. It seems to hold more of a career-related connotation. Like I think you could put it on a resume. But they both can be used as positive terms nowadays, which is great.
-
Well, What do I classify as then? I live in my own bought appartment, have a 7am-4pm job and have my computer in a room with no StarWars merchandize at all! (though half a ton of books on military matters, including a book on the laws of war and Sunzi's art of war(I know his name is mis spelled) and a living room and kitchen full of Warhammer 40k models and paraphernelia)
-
i would call you FFFFFFFRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!
-
I dunno I always kinda classified geek and nerd very similarly with subtle differences
Another popular one is they are the same but the geek has backround, for example. 2 people good equally good at computers, but one went to college for it. Doesn't work with every scenario though.
I like how you actually put 7 of each letter instead of blindingly holding down the button (uniform ftw)
-
HMMMMMM thought I did do it blind.......did not have my glases on at the time :-\
-
Ha, it's 7-8-11-8-8-8-7. Pozf, you fail at counting.

I have an extremely good reason!
<.<;
-
I just realized I don't have green stars outside Hall of Games. :(
-
awww you are not a mod in here so jsut a mere mrotal like the rest of us.
-
Yeah, but I thought being a mod anywhere would show the green stars everywhere >_>

wait so I leave for a few days and come back to loli talk? :'( :-\ ... ::)

This past weekend I met a girl who is fully 21 and doesn't look a day over 12.
I was not, however, attracted to her.
-
its strange how that works 8) but then again i think Avionics/electronics on aircraft is run by magic.
-
Choose your post:
Yes and that is totally related to the topic in many ways, so that's a good point. ::)
-or-
notice how OB always tries to change the subject when the topic of "little girls" comes up? ::)

Isn't it?

Anyone here like Kanye West?
-
Anyone here like Kanye West?
Sure! :D
"Heartless" is a dececent song. But I liked the one about blood diamonds alot better. I like music about pain. It's my own personal way of being Emo :(.
-
Anyone here like Kanye West?
Not in particular, no. I don't understand his lyrics completely, and what I do pick up conflicts with my sense of equality. Other than that, my ears strongly disagree with what passes for music in his genre.
-
Anyone here like Kanye West?
I like Gold Digger, and even then, the only part I like is the "She take my mon-EY! When I'm in neeed. Yeah, she's a triflin' friend indeed".
-
Anyone here like Kanye West?
yeah because that is really related to the topic at hand!
and why is everyone ignoring my two fabulous quips at Oddball?!
(side note: charles ogles little girls-be warned...oh no wait, he ogles 20-something women who look like little girls. Yeah which still means he likes looking at little girls! I was right!)
-
@UmberIsSexy: Yeah, you got me. I have a thing for midgets :-[
-
Ha, I was listening to Kanye West, this is the chat thread. Therefore, the topic for my purposes was Kanye West.
But yeah, I like his rap albums, but I especially like his new album on which he does not rap.
And Ronin? Did you just call Kanye West...emo?
-
no... I called myself emo.
Well kinda ::), I can do with out the haircuts, tight pants, vanity and self importants, but I sure like sad music! :D
-
you can like sad music and not be emo. :'( :)
and most people place me at an age half of what it is. i got told I was 14 the year I turned 21. ???
-
woot for being looking younger!
-
not so woot when you're at a bar. :-\
-
Ha, that's hardly an issue if you have a driver's license on you.
-
if you can prove u is older than u look, then the bouncers don't trouble you.
-
no I used my license to get into the bar and then the security came by later and asked me for my ID again. :'(
-
LOL! I haven't had that happen to me. I grew a beard and I can get in without a second look.
But I think that might be hard if you were a female, due to not being able to grow beards.
-
... i know a few who could grow beards. :'( but then if i could i wouldn't look older just uglier.
-
I was thrown out once, because I look like a kid.
-
if you can prove u is older than u look, then the bouncers don't trouble you.
Are you doing an Ali G impression or is your grammar just terrible? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt because I imagined him saying that and it was very amusing.

Anyone figured out who I am yet?

Aye you are you while i am me.....I think ???

brions GF? no better yet Brion himself! ^_^

I think you're right with the second guess Smiles... or maybe your third...
-
I was thrown out once, because I look like a kid.
In your pictures you look eighteen. I thought the drinking age over there was 18.
You are 18 right? :'(
-
Anyone figured out who I am yet?
You are Admiral Apocalypto
-
Anyone figured out who I am yet?
Of course, you are Bernadette. Why do you ask?
-
Considering UiS is moderator in this section he could just look at the IP logged and give it all away
-
I suppose he could do that but he wont.
-
1. Like I said before, it'll be the last time he sees anything.
2. Shouldn't be hard to keep her in line until she gets some rest, but I doubt she'll try something like that again.
3. I'm all for it. It'd be awful of me to object, especially after that potion she gave me helped me when we first encountered Mary.
(At the postscript) Thank you!
Simply take this post by Bernadette and search the forum for some of the less common words used in it, such as 'awful' 'especially' 'shouldn't' and the phrase "like i said"
There was also a post that she started with the word 'exactly'
Search the forums for those words and phrases and see who they match up with most often: Admiral Apolalypto
Note1: Although there were some matches with pozf but not as many.
Note2: The old forum was not searched.
-
heh if I'm making posts its on my own account so I can hit 1k first
-
looks like you might do it :o
-
If by "might" you mean "will" then yes I "Might"
-
any idea what number sieck is on?
-
Not even close. And well done, Charles, although I wasn't exactly trying to hide my involvement. Surprised I wasn't figured out immediately.
Edit: Yeah, 735, nearly 200 behind Pozf, but I've long accepted that Pozf is the more prolific poster.
Edit 2: Also, mods can't see IP addresses, and even if admins could, I told Brion it was me yesterday.
-
Your IP address is shown only to you and moderators. Remember that this information is not identifying, and that most IPs change periodically.
Oh... guess it means a different type of mod
-
LOL Charles, you should be a PI or something...
-
no longer mod AA? ???
-
@smiles: This is the Free Talk area, who UIS mods for. AA mods for The Hall Of Games area.
@Malki: *meh* I've used the tactic for others before out of curiosity. My wife's in a government investigations department so maybe I've learned some stuff off her after hearing about a few of the methods they use.
-
Pozf's post count is a little intimidating. o_o
-
I'm fighting a strong urge to say something distasteful right now >.>;
... back to D2
-
Pozf is a prolific poster.
-
Pozf's guide to being a prolific poster
1 Post on everything. "somebody asks somebody else a question? Pshh you know just as well Fuck em. post the answer for them."
2 Pick random debates and arguments out of nowhere off of meaningless things. "You're wrong dammit!"
3 Make sure you are always 'checking who's online' "That way you can always post .5 seconds after they do."
4 .... there is no 4. (it isn't a prime number, but neither is number one... yea well it can't be factored)
And most importantly
5 Always be on at any time. "Life's just a board game stop telling me I don't have one, it's in my closet!"
this post has been approved by Pozf (d^_^b)
-
aye but you missed out Rule 6 Pozf:
Rule 6: there is no Rule 6 since it walked out due to there being no Rule 4.
-
Why is 6 afraid of 7?
-
No 6 gets voided by the same reason number 4 but isn't needed because there was no 7th piece of advice
'Cause 789 Lawls >.>;
-
You just lost points for being as nerdy as me.
-
Thats quite the common joke >.>;
-
I can probably outnerd you both.
-
Maybe in certain areas... probably less in others
-
Indeed.
-
So will admiral change his sig to "I am become Bern, slapper of silly bitches"?
-
Nah.
-
one is a prime number. Isn't it? I mean you can only devide it by itself and 1 evenly right?
???
I like numbers! :D
Numbers are fun!
But I perfer boobs!
And Pie!
-
Nope. A prime number has to be divisible by exactly two numbers. A composite number has to be divisible by three or more. In both cases, this includes one. But since 1 is only divisible by one number, it's neither of these.
I also like numbers.

π
WE HAVE A WINNER HERE. Pi is awesome
Oh.... Pi! :P Pie is indeed a cool number! In fact, I know the fist couple decimals... 3.14159!
I didn't recognize it without the flowing Spanish "eneye"-like look.
-
Pi is not Pie. They are both great, though.
-
Why not? :D
Wait. :(
That would probably taste like ink, chalk and pencil lead.
Yuck! :(
-
Pie is a snacktreat. Pi is a number. Pi pies? That's an adequate amount of pie.
-
But if the filling of a pie was made of pi(s), it proably wouldn't taste so good. At least it wouldn't taste any better then any other number.
Six is tastey though :D.
-
lolz. back to pie again is it? :-*
-
Always about pie! (and pi)
-
i don't know I'm not very mathematical but I do love pie.^_^ :-*
-
Why isn't there any love for Phi? The golden ratio is a beautiful, beautiful thing.
-
Because it's not a synonym for one of the most delicious things Eva!
-
I like ice cream! It's my favoritest! . :-*
I think hevean will be made of icecream that is can't make you fat and is warm to sleep on! :D
-
Pie> ice cream
-
But what about Pie and Ice cream?
-
better than pie i suppose but, wait depends whats the flavor
-
Apple pie with vanilla ice cream? That's a classic.
-
Yea thats good enough I guess
-
*meh* meat pie works for me
Nothing more Australian

-
Meat Pie!
Meat makes everything better.
-
That honestly does Not sound appetizing (nor does it look that way)
and I love meat!
-
Except cows... They don't like Meat Pie
(http://mitglied.lycos.de/guzur/bilder/fun/1/eat-more-chicken.jpg)
-
What about shepherd's pie, Pozf? Tasty, tasty.
-
... Touche. Shepherd's pie is really good. Just the sound of Meat pie sounds kinda nasty (Stop giggling you fools!)
-
Well, when you think of Meat Pies... you probably think Sweeney Todd, don't you.
-
Actually I never saw the musical... or the Movie.
-
No? Depp delivers.
-
Yea, so I've heard. I just don't watch movies. I feel like they're a waste of time. or.. something to that extent.
-
Because it's not a synonym for one of the most delicious things Eva!
You mean homonym.
-
But the best thing ever has to be ice cream served on boobs! with toffee syrup!
-
You mean homonym.
Right... Yes... that.
-
whats been happening while ive been away? (and yes i have been reading the past pages)
-
well then you know already (mostly pie and meat and meat and pi)
and phi, slightly
p.s. meat pie is awesome. Flaky crust, delicious center. What's not to love?
and when made the traditional Aussie way, the baker pokes a hole in the center with his penis when the pie is fresh and hot. Aussies love penises, so it's considered an important finishing touch. You can tell a good baker by how horribly burned and disfigured his penis is!
-
There ya go I will now NEVER eat a meat pie. (shepherds pies that I make not included)
-
umber you remind me of a recently qualified pilot i know in your part of the world. ;D

(patiently waits for Pozf to see the irony)
-
Yea well I don't have to:
1 stay focused
2 Have to deal with missing things when I need toget up for some reason
2* Don't have to deal with pissing people off because I need to get up for some reason
I know the irony.
-
A freind of mine said "The purpoise of life is to waste it."
I think that covers it as far as judgeing yourself or others too harshly about what what you "waste your time" on. Eventually we'll all die, and then it won't matter to you if you "wasted your time" on curing cancer or sitting at home masturbating; you won't care, you'll be dead. :-\
-
What he said. Time enjoyed is never wasted.
Then again, a lot of films are shitty.
-
I'm sure there are some people out there who would disagree Admiral (and not because they're argumentative wassits). I know one person who thinks you are wasting time if you're not working towards your goals, I suppose he has a point, but I also think he's first in line for a heart attack.
you won't care, you'll be dead. :-\
That depends entirely on whose religious beliefs are correct does it not?
-
wait if heaven was made of icecream then wouldn't it be cold? melted icecream isn't as good. :-\
-
what flavour?
-
That depends entirely on whose religious beliefs are correct does it not?
All of them and none of them.
-
wait if heaven was made of icecream then wouldn't it be cold? melted icecream isn't as good. :-\
Maby the laws of thermodynamics don't work in heaven like they do here. It's cold when you eat it, and not when you don't. ;)
Also, I figure in the afterlife you'll have bigger concerns then what you did on earth, wheather it be heaven or hell or oblivion or some heretofore unimagined place you didn't expect. :-\
-
i knda don't think heaven wil be very corporeal. material subtance would be a mater of thought/presence. I mean i suppose it all comes down to what exactly you believe about the after life.
BLAH! Too religous! *throws a strawberry cream pie at ronin*
-
wait if heaven was made of icecream then wouldn't it be cold? melted icecream isn't as good. :-\
They have Willy Wonka on retainer for desert technologies.

lolz Wonka heaven! as long as it's not like wonka vision I think it might be fun^_^

Oi I'm usually online when you pop on >,>. Granted I'm usually heading for bed around then.
-
only a Bannana for UIS? :o thats a bit cheap. his foot work alone is worth an orange.
-
oi vey! the bananas and the oranges get all the credit it makes the grapes sour. :'(
;D
-
ok who took the sun and gave me rain?
-
the same person who made it snow yesterday.
-
Where I am it's beutyful! I look outside and see blue skys with only tiny wispy clouds. :D
It's supposed to be 65 degrees today. The first time sense winter. :D
-
oh we had a very unusually warm march. I guess it was just some leftover winter spit. :'(
-
if the rain keeps going might put on my camo jacket and go for a walk in the rain later.
-
Cool. Make sure to think deep thoughts. :P
-
thing is i do but always come back with more questions than answers ???
-
quite the conundrum. :-\
-
ok now im getting cabin fever and itchy feet let me out!!
-
itchy feet?
*gives odd some foot powder*
-
hmm maybe i should choose my phrases more carfully ???
-
naw I'm just playing. actually I think It might be a bit chilly out today but the suns out so it can't be too bad.
-
My favorite icecream is cherry. :-*
I like cherries jubalie from Bascin Robins and I really like Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia and Neopolitan Dianamyte.
I think I may go buy some soon... :-*
-
oh, Cherry Garcia is tasty, tasty stuff.
-
And Chubby Hubby is mucho goodo too! I like anything that is sweet and has pretzels in it! Cinimon Surgar Pretzels! Trail Mix! Yogart or Choclate Coverd Pretzels! Take Five Candy Bars! MUST... HAVE... PRETZELY SWEETS! :o
-
my fave icecream is Chocolate chip cookie dough.
*just got home from seeing aliens v/s monsters*
-
was it any good?
-
yeah was it any good? I don't even know what it is, just noticed it today on the theatre sign on the way to work...
down with Cherry Garcia, up with Chunky Monkey, Phish Food and Choc Chip Cookie Dough. Also New York Super Fudge Chunk.
-
Fish Food is too gooey. :-\
I like icecream that's fruity istead of carmeloy. Is that a word? :-\
-
it might be caramelly, and well no, it's probably not officially a word.
so we agree to disagree then :) I'm all about chunky and chocolatey, and never about fruity. But sometimes I also like plain vanilla.
But I do like Fish Food yes! :)
-
But Cherry Garcia has chucks of cherry and chocolate! :D
I do like chocolate! I just like other flavours to complement the chocolate. :-\
Sometimes I'm in the mood for gooey-chocolate-caramel-marshmelow stuff, but not as often. :-\
And I like it even better if it also has salty things like Pretzels! :o

ok ok ::) if we're gonna be honest, sometimes (very rarely) I get in this weird mood where Cherry Garcia tastes like the best stuff on earth. :-[
but I think Chunky Monkey is my all-time favorite. Except for Wavy Gravy, but that's discontinued afaik. I did have a thing for Chubby Hubby for quite awhile, but not lately *shrug*.
-
New York Super Fudge Chunk is insane though...it can't be discounted. I don't often choose it, but it never disappoints.
-
I just can't come to this forum without being barraged with sex and food.
There are other good things in life too, you know. Like sex and food at the same time! :D .... >.<
-
That sounds like it could be very messy
-
erotic foodinesss is nice.^_^ :-*
-
has to be the right kind of food though
-
I've done sushi and chocolate.... ....and I think that's it.
._.
-
But chocolate ice cream melting on one's torso can be very unplesantly painful... >:(
-
Or very pleasantly painful. ;P
-
I assure you, it wasn't plesant in the least. That kind of ice cream was way too ideal at heat absorbtion. And I'm not adverse to using pain as a means to enhance sexual pleasure, but the ice cream episode wasn't in a sexual or even remotely erotic context.
-
Heh. Ice might make for interesting play, but honestly, food has never been a pleasant experience. Except maybe the novelty of eating sushi off of a beautiful naked form.
Still funny to joke about.
Did you really use ice cream during sex?
-
That's the thing, it wasn't during sex >:( I was in my ex's bed (while we still was a couple) and had finished my ice cream and lain down on my back to watch her when she accidentally dropped a ball of ice cream on my stomache. But instead of picking it up again she started to just move it around and that was when it got painful.
I won't use ice cream during sex, but candy is a different story, especially lollypops :P
-
aw but lollipops would get all sticky. and the ice cream thing might've been sexier if she licked it off instead. ^_^
oh and for all the ignorance of popples here they are:
Popples (http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=popples&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=An_fSe-AEtOMnAfguqWnCQ&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&resnum=4&ct=title)
(http://imagesforum.doctissimo.fr/mesimages/3578076/popples.jpg)
-
I saw a video of adult nature where the two girls were wearing ring pops. It looked pretty good. They could suck them if they wanted to, or rub them on different places to add flavor to the other's body.
How do you use the lollis Emp_Dragon?
haha pretty funny that now this thread is about food and sex at the same time XD
-
our 2 favorite things?
-
Hmmm.... There's a really good brand of lubricant that tastes just like jolly ranchers. Watermelon is quite nice. ./licks lips.
-
Wait it taste like watermelon jolly ranchers?! HOT DOG!

I LOVE THOSE I USED TO HAVE LIKE THREE OF THOSE WHEN I WAS LITTLE!
THEY'RE LIKE CUTE FUZZY TRANSFORMERS AND THEY TURN INTO BALLS!
THANK YOU SMILES, SERIOUSLY! YOU HELLPED ME REMEMBER SOMETHING COOL I FORGOT ABOUT FROM MY CHILDHOOD! LET ME GIVE YOU A HUG! :-*
-
I think the popples look a lot like things it would be funny to try out a brand new auto shotgun on to see how much the fluff disperses ;D
How do you use the lollis Emp_Dragon?
To add to my own enjoyment while diving :P
And yes, it gets sticky Smiles, but that's kind of the point so there is something to get at when the eaten can't provide natural flavours fast enough ;D
-
Have you guys seen the Seinfeld episode where George started to have sex with food and couldn't stop?
Like he had to have a sandwitch wile he was having sex? That was really funny! :D
As horny as what you guys are saying is making me, I would be too afraid of what would happen. Like when I'm home alone and I have chocolate I sometimes have to masturbate, and I think that if I mixed food and sex, might get my wires crossed and start associating the two things too closely together.
"Shit! I Wanna fuck my Ruben Sandwitch!" Or "Oh God! I wanna put melted chesse on my boner!" :o
-
I hear ya on that crossed wires thing.
I'll never be able to look at tacos the same again...
-
Hmmm.... There's a really good brand of lubricant that tastes just like jolly ranchers. Watermelon is quite nice. ./licks lips.

-
Quiet night, tonight. ./sage nod
-
thats because I was out and had no battery power left
-
and i was at work
-
I hear ya on that crossed wires thing.
I'll never be able to look at tacos the same again...
Yeah it's kinda gross when someone says something like "Sausage or Taco?" I don't know why. :(
-
Bah
I hear ya on that crossed wires thing.
I'll never be able to look at tacos the same again...
Yeah it's kinda gross when someone says something like "Sausage or Taco?" I don't know why. :(
Gross? WTF? ??? what's there to be grossed about? It's just genitals, hell it's not even that it's just food substitute words for genitals! It's not like it's decomposing roadkill on a sun-baked summer road...
-

Well, I was being mildly facetious, but never mind.
I personally have no qualms eating a girl's hot pocket if that's what she wants.
-
:'( so yeah... My tire rod fell off my car today. and it's going to be a pain getting it fixed on easter. :(
-
Eeeee. Car trouble is never fun. Good luck with that, Smiles. :(
-
Good luck trying to get it fixed tomorrow , seriously your gonna need it.
-
thanks i'm gonna need it. dumb ass car that always needs fixin when I least want it to. Now i'll lose alot of money on my car again. :( >:(
-
Tire rod?
-
yep not good tyring to get a car fixed over the weekend. Suffred a major tyre blow out doing 70 mph coming back from a girlfriend's house a few years back. Still had hundred miles to do while on the space saver not fun doing that being limited to 50mph.
-
but what's a tire rod? The suspension support? The axle? some component of the steering assembly?
-
can only think its the Tie rod, part of the anti roll bar attached to the lower supension arm.
and its a quiet day in here.
-
BahI hear ya on that crossed wires thing.

Probably becuase these things are made of meat and having sex with meat is kind of like necrophilla. :-\
Or perhaps...
Becuase sausage is all yucky looking.
http://www.foodsubs.com/Photos/sausage-potatokorv.jpg
There is something about the bruised and flecked apperiance that is gross to me when I associate it with a penis.
The word "Taco" is less nasty in this context, but maybe I'm just uncomfortable with such a close asscociation of processed meat products and genitalia. :(
http://www.pe.com/imagesdaily/2007/06-20/girod_taco.jpg
I know it's kind of wierd and arbitrary, but...
So I'm a weirdo? What of It!?! >:(
-
maybe I'm weird too, because I also think it's gross. When I hear "Taco" I honestly kind of mentally shudder when hearing it.
-
been a while since ive had a taco....now im hungry.
-
mmmm that sounds pretty good... unfortunatly tonight we're eating leftovers from last nights.
-
Oh god, I need to eat.
Thanks for reminding me I was hungry. :P
-
Hmm cheese and salami toastie sounds good just now.
-
Oh god, I need to eat.
Thanks for reminding me I was hungry. :P
>.> sounds like somebodies playing a good game.
I'm starving but the left overs succckkkk.
-
Probably becuase these things are made of meat and having sex with meat is kind of like necrophilla. :-\
You use vegetables then?
-
Wouldn't having sex with dead meat not only be necrophilia, but bestiality necrophilia?
-
Man, today seems like it's been just a sleepy day.
-
but what's a tire rod? The suspension support? The axle? some component of the steering assembly?
it's a rod that makes it so that when you turn the steering wheel the wheels turn too. ;) at least that's what I understand now that I've seen it on the ground.-.-;
-
Oh, so it's the rod that's shoved around by the steering column? Umm, don't you have to submit your car for regular checkups for the car to remain legal to drive it on public roads?
-
Yea, but that doesn't mean it won't break in the X months * No idea how long that is* since its been inspected.
-
yep happened to me once. thought i had a the wheel hub fixed then it went on me again.
-
But if the car is taken care of properly, one should find out one way or another if anything's likely to break in the next 6 months before anything actually breaks... How old is the car btw Smiles?
-
This thread is long, is it alright if I just jump in here?
-
So I'm having a horrible horrible dilemma. I need to pay for my tuiton (was due on friday but didn't have the money then) and to do that I need to get on the site to pay electronically. But I can't get onto the site because I haven't paid yet. Fucking. Morons.
-
They clearly don't want to take your money.
-
It certainly appears that way now doesn't it.
-
I'm back from Italy :)
Had a great time, got tons of stories, but best of all - pictures ;D (700 of them :o)
I'll post 'em as soon as I get them on my comp...
-
Huzzah!
And please do post them ^^
-
Welcome back Malki!!
Looking forward to 700 pictures! :o
-
Alot of them are no good, but I think about half are okay enough to keep...
-
Hip hip HUZZAH!! have a good holiday Malki?
-
Best vacation ever!! ;D
But as they say - there's no place like home...
-
aye Italy is a good place to visit, good ski slopes
-
I hate doctors.
-
Espeshally with cold hands. :(
I had to have a doctor do my prostate exam in basic training and he was about 80 with cold, shakey hands. I swear, they try to make everything in the Army as unpleasent as possible for no reason. :(
-
What hospital visits Akasha?
Oh and don't be hating on my profession!
-
The problem with hospitals is all the Death lingering around. :(
That and they charg so fucking much! >:(
Assholes. >:(
Break a bone and they make you pay for it for the rest of your life! >:(
-
come over to britain where your taxes pay for it...your taxes goes towards you being left on a gurney for up to 12 hours with out being seen by a doctor and spend up to 6 hours in the A&E with a dislocated shoulder.
-
I think the United States is full of doctors who only know how to perform Plastic surgery, face lifts and breast implants.
U.K. seems to be getting a big hit on doctors specialising in Penis enlargements
Australia seems to be sending all its doctors overseas to 3rd world countries and importing the doctors from said countries to keep our population down and fix issues with a growing retired populace.
-
I'm back. Bygones?

That's not really the doctors fault now is it.
-
In all my work as a ninja, I've never broken a bone. (or ever, really.)
I've broken bones before, though :D
-
Were they compound breaks? Those are much fun.
-
Nah, I wasn't actually trying to kill the people in the instructor workouts.
But ribs are so fragile.
-
Oh, so it's the rod that's shoved around by the steering column? Umm, don't you have to submit your car for regular checkups for the car to remain legal to drive it on public roads?
nope not anymore my car's too old no computer system inside it.
-
I'm back. Bygones?
aye why not, grab a chair.

Umm, over here you have to report to anual inspections for any rolling car that's not a dedicated veteran vehicle (more than 30 years old and can't have more than a specific annual mileage that's set way lower than a car used day-to-day will accumulate.)
-
dam thanks for reminding me have to get my car checked
-
come over to britain where your taxes pay for it...your taxes goes towards you being left on a gurney for up to 12 hours with out being seen by a doctor and spend up to 6 hours in the A&E with a dislocated shoulder.
I've waited forever in emergency room with a 102 fever so, yeah, it's not that much better over here in that respect.
-
Around here it depends how you go into the hospital. Few years ago my mom hurt her back and i went *read: was forced* to go with her. We waited a good 3 hours before we saw anybody. Where as 6ish months ago she was freaking out that she had a heart attack and woke me up to go with her in the ambulance. Bypassed the outside waiting room. Saw somebody within 5 minutes.
If you ask me it's people who go to the ER *assuming that's what you're talking about* for the sniffles because they don't have health insurance.
"Sorry It doesn't matter if you have a gunshot wound. This little kid might have a cold!"

I would like to speak for myself and...well just for myself.
Yeah definitely bygones. Glad you're back! ;D ;D
-
and the peasants rejoice ^_^ :-*
... yeah i think I'm slap happy now that i found out how much I'm getting back from taxes. ;D
-
*And there was much rejoicing*
The drinks are on smiles ;D ;D ;D Mine's a pint of Tennant's Velvet
-
hehe actually I'm throwing a big drinking party with my tax monies. ;D
you think you could be in the Chicago area by mother's day weekend?
-
Mother's day has past
-
no no it hasn't it's may 11th :-\
-
Hmm must be on a diffrent day in your part of the world then Smiles.
-
why when is yours? ours is always the 2nd Sunday in may
-
ours is just before easter
-
Hmmm. It seemed kind of rainy for May when Simon Pegg got his mum flowers for mother's day in Shawn of the Dead. :D
-
lol oh you poor fool you know nothing about the British weather system. MMMMWWWHAHAHAHAHA (sorry went a bit OTT there :-[ )
-
Well I live in Portland Oregon, sir. ::)
I doubt if it's much different.
-
another place I've wanted to travel to!
btw Ronin I just kicked ass in 2HG on my lunch break. 8)
um...well Incremental Blight...but also Torrent of Souls + Ashenmoor Liege + Murderous Redcap.
I don't have many expensive cards, but I'm sure you'll agree that this is fairly dirty ;D
-
Needs more Blowfly Infestation! ;D
http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=135429
I saw a pretty degenerate deck one time that played Firespout + Everlasting Torment + Flourshing Defenses.

If your intrested in the wither theme, that's a litttle bit of a different way to go, but perhaps worth looking into. ;)
-
Wow yeah that sounds pretty good.
Yeah I used to run blowfly in that deck, but sometimes it was a dead card/too slow to get going/takes too much deckspace. Also it can backfire onto your own dudes. Plus the wither I have also doesn't have flexibility to go to the dome when I need it to. (I know there's ways to do it better, but I don't have them :() I really try to get by spending little or no money on the game. Most of my cards are given to me by someone who plays and drafts a lot, and they moved kinda far away a year ago, so I don't get many now. No one in our playgroup plays really nasty decks, so it works out fine. We sort of try to keep the "arms race" under control.
After a while I changed my blowfly's and puncture bolt's, etc to direct damage that is able to go to the face and creatures. But Blight stays ;D!
I guess I wouldn't be opposed to doing some Flourishing stuff, but I don't even have one :| Also, it's a bit expensive for how things usually go down in our group.
-
Play Devoted Druid for accelleration!
It can get a Floursing Defenses out on turn 3, and then can give it self a -1/-1 counter to make a 1/1 token. Even if you don't run cards that trigger on -1/-1 counters, it's still a good card. If you include green, in a shadowmoore block deck, it's a must have.
-
that's not a bad idea...hmm...yeah my Blight deck was always B/R...it might actually do better as B/G. And then, if I could scrape up a Flourishing somewhere, that would be gravy...hmmmmmm...;D most of the B/R creatures are hybrid anyway, so I could still play the best of them...ooh I smell beats. ;D
-
*gets lost in the game....Then loses THE GAME (http://www.losethegame.com/)*
squibblez and wot sir?
-
Hmm I've just become aware of it so I've lost intresting

Black/Red/Green. you don't want to loose the important removal of firespout and puncture blast.

Shadowmoore is all hybird mana, so three colours is no big deal. :-\
Also, if your not married to keeping it block, you can play several budget lands to smooth out your mana base. In 10th edition there is terramorphic expanse and lorewin had vivid meadow, vivid marsh and vivid crag (these are in block too if that helps :D), in shards of alara there is jund panorama and savage lands and in conflux there is rupture spire and unstable frontier.

I wish you lived in Portland. :(
I could just hand you these cards, I have so much lorowin block commons uncommons that I are just taking up space, it would actually be a boon to get rid of them. :(

*gets lost in the game....Then loses THE GAME (http://www.losethegame.com/)*
squibblez and wot sir?
The "Game" is not a game and is probably the worst meme ever.
-
I agree.
The only way to win is to not play it. Sounds like a crappy game to me. :(
-
I agree.

Actually, you don't get a choice. Everyone is playing it. The only way to win is to not become aware of it.
-
So thanks to Smiles we have all lost since we have become self aware!
-
What the hell are you guys talking about... wait you know what don't tell me, from what you guys are saying it's some retarded thing that people get tricked into "playing".
-
*gets lost in the game....Then loses THE GAME (http://www.losethegame.com/)*
squibblez and wot sir?
The "Game" is not a game and is probably the worst meme ever.
true. and it really sucks when everyone is trying to get you to lose constantly.
it is possible to forget if you're with the right people.
-
What the hell are you guys talking about... wait you know what don't tell me, from what you guys are saying it's some retarded thing that people get tricked into "playing".
Pretty much. Usually it is as follows: some insecure, pathetic person goes up to complete strangers who are minding their own business and say "Hey, you guys just lost the game" and leave feeling a sense of self-satisfaction.
-
well actually with me it usually goes someone says something that is one of my key words that make me lose and then well i lose of course and if the person I'm with hasn't played before they usually ask "what game?" I've given up on that and just started saying "trust me. you don't want to know."
:-*
-
so thanks to you we have all lost....but then again have won
-
oh? how so? :-\ ???
-
we did not know about the "game" so we won then you made us aware of it so we lost....welll thats my understanding of the rules if it did have rules that is
-
No it's impossible to "win"
-
very impossible to win :( yay for collared pet status!:D <3 :-*
-
wait until you are a cage dancer ;)
-
yeah I wish we could keep our favorite titles instead of getting new ones as we go higher.
-
Hmm is there anywhere on the site where we can view all the titles?
-
the members list is a pretty good way to see them.
-
Yea but it doesn't show the Higher up ones 1500+
-
ah looking towards the future? ;D
-
I've been trying not to, but yes. Yes I am.
-
Hmm trying to get past the experimental stage?
-
Of course aren't you?
-
Not really. Like my title.....dont really want to know what the next one is.
-
then give up and concede ;D
-
Concede what? and I never give up too stubborn
-
then prepare to lose your "experimental" status.
-
ach no big loss in the end I suppose
-
Wrong, Huge loss. That sir is why you lose!
-
why cos you are 30 posts ahead? but you never know we could of reached the end of line
-
huh? not unless Brion changed the titles since I had almost 1500 posts (we change at 1000 i believe so you still have a little to go)
-
:( cant help it if im a slow poster and only post in certain areas.
-
i only post in certain areas as well. but I post quickly ;D
-
Think im developing arthritis in my fingers :( either that its this dam clunky keyboard >:(
-
Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

You just need to not go outside the house anymore, less germs.

But shinai fighting on saturday was mostly worth being miserably sick for several days... >.>
By the way, The Red Dragon Inn == awesome game.
-
Red Dragon Inn?
-
Yes. http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/24310 (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/24310)
-
so its a card game... about a night in the tavern??
-
I'm pretty sure you would have had 1000 posts by now if most of them hadn't been deleted
The moderaters don't hate me that much do they ?!? :(
-
Kind of. Each player gets a character deck... say "Zot the wizard and his familiar Pooky, the killer rabbit", or "Dimli the dwarf", or "Eve the illusionist", etc.
The premise is, you've had your adventure for the day and now you're relaxing in a bar. Each player gets 10 gold pieces, and a board that tracks their stamina and drunken level. You start with 20 stamina, but that can go down. If your drunk level reaches your stamina, you pass out. Basically, you're out of the game if your run out of money or if you pass out. Gambling is a big part of the game too.
I was surprised at how much fun it was. :D
-
wait what?
Admiral Apoc. deleted all of his topics in the hall of games, and all our posts with them...
Ah sounds interesting
-

They have that at gaurdian games. I wanted to play it, but it's too expensive. Plus, the only game I have time for is Magic. But I love me some occasional casual games like guillotine or chrononauts.
-
Or Munchkin.
I own something around six variants of that. Buahahaha.
-
I have just played the regular one and Munchkin bites.
Do you ever just mix them together? I bet that would be hillarious! :D
-
Yes, and they all work well together. They also have those 'munchkin blender' packs.
-
So I have a cat that's going apeshit on the curtains next to my head. I fear it will soon go for my head.
This has be a broadcast of boredom by Pozf.
Thank you, and we now return to your regularly scheduled randomness.
-
*steals the cat and runs away* .......*comes back with a catburger* yummy. though i have never actually eaten cat.
-
hmm those games sound fun. I need a game like that to play with my friends who don't play Magic. They are paper roleplayers but I don't do that...and playing a game about hanging out at a tavern at the end of the day could be pretty fun when that's pretty much parallel to what we're actually doing... :D
-
Never got into card games like that, all I did at college was play poker for match sticks, but a drunken card game sounds good :D
-

Munchkin is even better inebrated! :D
(I assume... :-\)
-
munchkin is best when you have different kinds of Munchkin mixed together. :-*
-
Many things are better mixed together while inebriated.
-
that's true. :-\
-
who mentioned geting inebriated.?
-
Ugh..so after 3 weeks of pratically dying of bronchitis and strep throat.. i'm track to a full recovery! i took some zinc losengers (Spelling?) did the trick. At first when i took them my thaots burned and hurt for about an hour. But now the swelling in my throats gone down, and my lymphnodes in my neck reduced dramaticly!
Good times :D
-
Yay for health! You don't fully appreciate it until it takes a vacation :\
-
Yay for health! You don't fully appreciate it until it takes a vacation :\
True.
I find myself thinking about death alot when I'm sick. Is that normal?
-
Depends how sick I am, but when I get the flu and what not. Yea I'm thinking "kill me now."
-
It's time to excercise everybody! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqQ75N8BYeU)
-
Well I think it's safe to say they Have demolished the 4th and 5th wall and are now working on the 6th. And do they seriously think people are going to exercise to this... I mean sure if you want to call that "exercising"
-
Well I think it's safe to say they Have demolished the 4th and 5th wall and are now working on the 6th. And do they seriously think people are going to exercise to this... I mean sure if you want to call that "exercising"
Walls what?
And I think people are blowing the swine flu way out of proportions... I mean, in a perspective, 7 people in Mexixo city has died while affected by it, it doesn't nessessarily have to be the flu that killed them given the economic and healthcare levels in that city. Could be pneumonia or something that killed them while in a weakened state, something that's far more unlikely to go untreated in a richer country.
Second of all, the city has what? 20 million people in it? I bet 20 times more than those who died carrying the flu is dying every day in accidents and/or murders while the nativity of the citizens more than compensates for those deaths and natural causes combined.
-
From wikipedia:
The fourth wall refers to the imaginary "wall" at the front of the stage in a proscenium theatre, through which the audience sees the action in the world of the play.[1][2] The term also applies to the boundary between any fictional setting and its audience. When this boundary is "broken" (for example by an actor speaking to the audience directly through the camera in a television program or film), it is called "breaking the fourth wall."
I just said 5th and 6th for the exaggeration of it.
And this whole mess with swine flu is just like the avian flu panic we had a couple of years ago it'll blow over.
And just remember kids Just lick an autistic kid if you want to be safe from swine flu ! http://xkcd.com/574/ (http://xkcd.com/574/)
And with that URL how do you get it to have the hyperlink in different words... I can never remember.
-
Well I think it's safe to say they Have demolished the 4th and 5th wall and are now working on the 6th. And do they seriously think people are going to exercise to this... I mean sure if you want to call that "exercising"
Well, *I* for one was certainly "excercising".
-
Yeah. But I should haves stretched. I think I got an arm cramp. :P
-
Always exercise before any kind of physical activity there Ronin ;D
-
aye pulled a muscle in my left knee while do athletics at High School since i never warmed up right, never been right since
-
Yay for health! You don't fully appreciate it until it takes a vacation :\
True.
I find myself thinking about death alot when I'm sick. Is that normal?
Sure, you're a guy.
*(couldn't help it ;))
-
What's guy got to do with it? ???
(not indignent, honestly curious.)
-
Men are known to act like they are dieing when they are sick (flu) While women (when they have the same flu) Are cooking dinner and take care of the kids... ;)
-
ever heard of "man flu"?
-
Men are known to act like they are dieing when they are sick (flu) While women (when they have the same flu) Are cooking dinner and take care of the kids... ;)
I am totally guilty of that, though my wifey doesn't really let me get away with it. Never heard of "man flu", is it related to what Slean is saying?
-
Yep thats excatly what Selan was saying
-
Man flu..... :-\
they actually named it......
But..but honey, i have the "man" flu.
Oh ok honey i didn't know you where dieing... sorry :-X
-
yep tried it once or twice never got away with it....maybe next time I'll hook myself up to a life support machine and try it.
-

It's not like that in my family. Everyone (male and female) is down for the count if they get even slightly ill. Maybe becuase there was so many of us. It's not even like anyone has to take up the slack. With one gone, no one much notices.
-
You know, for having a lot of users supposedly logged in right now, it's awfully quiet.
Come on people, liven up!
Of all nights to not really have insomnia, I have to stay up so I can take someone to the airport T-T
Wish I could just hop on a plane and fly someplace more temperate myself.
-
Wish I could just hop on a plane and fly someplace more temperate myself.
Solution: knock that person out and gank their ticket.
-
Even if I could, the problem is that the ticket goes to Arizona, which is not temperate. T-T
-
Oh... well then that's a bad solution then.
-
Yeah. Wish I could just go visit Toronto and take a rainy break until things cool down here.
Gotta find ways to stay awake, too >.<
-
Caffeine not cutting it?
Try spicy foods.
-
spicy foods? how does that help?
-
I find that if I eat spicy things I feel more awake. As long as you don't mind the other side effects
-
other side effects?
-
You're the one who said spicy foods are aphrodisiacs. Or was that only a specific type of pepper?
-
Oh. heh.
I was talking about Habaneros, mostly. But other chilis are supposed to do the trick, too.
-
Oh well then just stay away from them and you won't have to deal with the side effects, unless of course you want those side effects ;D
-
Heh. It'd be nice if I had a way to deal with the effects before you know... driving to the LAX.
-
Ha driving. We have tubes here in the future. Silly primitive transportation methods.
-
So when are you going to give me some winning lotto numbers, Future Man?
-
Unfortunately they post those in the past first, I'm not quite sure how it works. But it does.
-
can you tell me what day my summer will be on then Pozf lol
-
I'm sorry but I'm part of your past. Not you're future.
-
so you mean if you are my past I am your future?
-
Quantum Pozf is Quantum.
o.O
-
so you mean if you are my past I am your future?
Not my personal future, but yes my future.
Quantum Pozf is Quantum.
o.O
Fear me!
-
Fear?........You mean Pozf is a evil sock puppet?!?!?! :o :o
-
I have a hard time fearing sock puppets.
-
Oh belive me they will get you in the end :'(
-
Well, maybe you have something to fear, Odd.
(http://akashayi.net/random/sprites/Shadow_laugh.gif)
-
Sock puppet no. Psychotron yes.
Edit: Shadow ! ;D
-
Buahahaha.
Well, kids, I'm off to 7-11 to pick up more caffeine for great justice. Want anything?
(http://akashayi.net/random/sprites/max_throw_cat.gif)
-
Nah got my double gulp filled with Dew right here.
-
All right. If I'm not back in five minutes...
....know that a lot of people are dying by my hand.
-
some crayons and paper would be good...might make an atempt at cat=crest
-
Don't need to tell me twice Akasha.
-
Hmm lack of sleep is making me ramble and uncoherent :-\
-
And I'm back. did ya miss me?
;)
-
So many dead... so many ... I'd be sad but I hate people.
-
Oh the horror the horror :o
-
Apparently the tinder bundle has been ignited again..., can't we go one season without that place exploding in fiery fire?
-
You mean here? This place is made of wildfires.
And ahhh.... I feel so much better.
-
Yes I mean CA
Was it all the killing? or the tasty caffeine?
-
Yes.
-
Ah... yes.. quite...
-
Muahahahahahahahaha (etc)
-
Funny how the two of us can seemingly occupy the entire forum alone, but when there are a bunch of other people, nothing seems to happen.
-
Amusing, yes.
You know Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?
-
Gnarf. I dunno that depends Brain , are you pondering about how they manage to fit those oranges into those containers?
-
Yes. It's always bugged m... No, no. We could use this to our advantage.... to try and take over the world ...!
-
But how shall we accomplish this?
I really miss that show.
-
me too :(
-
I fucking love UPS tracking. I'm watching my Double bass pedal slowly make it's way here today.
-
hehe. Rad.

*refresh* Awww still in Memphis. *refresh* Awww still in Memphis. *refresh* Awww still in Memphis.

I totally do the same thing when I'm waiting for awesome stuff.
-
Heh, how effective is your mail services?
I've ordered stuff from the UK that's arrived the next day :)
-
i ordered a missing part for a plastic model kit from East Germany and it arrived with in a month with enough parts to make another one.....ordered a missing part from a company in Englandshire and never heard from them (still waiting after about 10 years)
-
Heh, how effective is your mail services?
I've ordered stuff from the UK that's arrived the next day :)
Standard shipping time isn't that quick unless where its being sent from is relatively close, for example the item I am waiting for was only sent out from it's original location last night, but that's NJ which is really close. There is overnight too.
-
you guys reckon Brion will update the comic today? :( He's had me on the edge of my seat for updates ever since the Bloody Mary battles, but even more so since they got in the carriage for some reason. I just like all the social tension right now ;D.
(This might belong in Flipside discussion, but I don't want to be seen as bitching about missing updates.)
-
Brion's at Anime Central this weekend... so maybe if he had something set to auto update it failed.
I hope he'll update though o_o
And hey Umber, this is Free Talk. We can chat about anything we damn well please. ... or something. ;P
-
Yeah good point :'( I'm in a bit of a weird mood today...anyway....
So I'm moving to Taiwan in like a month :o.
I lived there before, so I guess moving back is more accurate. I mean, we all are, all the fam. My wife is from there. We always wanted the kiddos to live there for awhile. They're still little, but we were down to buying a house or moving there, so we realized it was pretty much our last chance.
It's a really nice place, in a lot of ways. The more populated areas are crowded, noisy, and pollutiony, but the mountains are pretty breathtaking. People are really sweet in general. And things are open all night and there's lots of fun stuff to do.
Plus - and you might not think so, but it's true - the WHOLE COUNTRY is FULL of Asian women.
Just everywhere you look...sweah to gad it's true.
-
Moving to Taiwan? Wow.
...wow.
Plus - and you might not think so, but it's true - the WHOLE COUNTRY is FULL of Asian women.
I would have never guessed this. ./tease :P
But I approve! You'll just have to share a few with me.
-
trying to decide now whether to go buy beer. Stores are about to close because this state sux.
I may disappear quickly! But Yes, you can have as many as you like ;) They are all your food.
-
mmm.... ./licks lips.
-
Legs tired... can't walk... or type properly... must... leave couch...
-
Man.....flu........? :p
I have sirens in my head :'(
Do you guys get that? When you hear an ambulance or something else in the distance you keep hearing it even tho it's long gone? Or am i craaaaaaaazeeeeh?
-
No not man flu, I'd just been playing drums (just the double bass pedals though) for the past uh... 5 or 6 hours, so my legs are really really strained.
That's all acoustics and siren wavelength and whatnot. You know you're crazeh when you hear them when there's nothing around.
-
They woke me up, first policesirens then ambulance and after i heard the firefighters i decided i needed to get out of bed to check the internet.
And now they are still in my head. I have the same with musquitos.
-
Oh... yea then you're totally crazy ;P
-
YAY! Well at least i hear sirens all the time! my life is exciting 8)
-
Wouldn't that make it really hard to fall and stay asleep?
-
Ok then... not all the time, only after i've heard them in reall life and the effect lasts for about an hour or so.
-
Ah... not so bad then, but Annoying. No?
-
Very much so!
Anyway, here's Stalk cat with ninja skilz

-
I have the somach flew! :( :( :( :( :( :( :(
Please pray for me to get better! :(
-
I broke my back (or feels that way at least). So you're probably better off, with being able to move and the likes. :-\
-
Back to what was said earlier about hering things....every so often while at work i hear buzzers going off when one is not going off always get stranges looks when i go to the call box and check.
-
Man..it was so weird haveing a friday AND saturday off O_o.. Very odd indeed. Now i have to close tonight and monday ;-;.. Fun
-
after reading my last post from last night it makes no sense at all....even to me.
-
*Prays for Ronin to get better* stomach things tend to pass quickly, at least in my exp, maybe not always true though? They're horrible, but they don't last as long as other ailments.
Oddball: making sense is not required. In fact, some people recommend the opposite.

Who was Admiral Apocalypto?
-
Wasn't that Sieck?
-
Yea it was.
-
how did he come up?
-
Ah, ok. I'd forgotten. I was just seeing these threads and wondering why the name was blacked out. (Guess the account doesn't exist anymore). Just curious.
-
with me nothing makes sense
-
You just made sense of the nonsense, effectively nullifying the sense.
-
Leaving him with just non?
-
unfortunatly I do have moments of clarity
-
Don't be duluded!
Your moments of clarity are just as duleded as your duleded moments! ;D
-
could say some thing to that but all i can come up with is "fluffy bunnys bouncing every where" :(
-
I ate so much today....
Me and my friends had a BBQ party but we bought too much meat. We barely finished half of it (and we were like 15 people there)
SO MUCH MEAT
and then there was cake. Chocolate cake. Irresistable cake. I ate about 3 slices even though I was already stuffed.
And then everytime someone made me laugh I felt like I'm about to puke.
It was like a constant feeling that I'm about to burp myself loose, but the burp never comes....
It feels so painful and yet so awesome.
I don't think I ever ate so much in my life.
Also, I discovered beer that I can actually drink today. Until now every beer I've tasted was too bitter. I already gave up hope on beer. But now I finally see what the big fuss is about. Maybe that's why I feel so good XD (I also had some vodka)
-
Yay!
What I've learned is fat = happy! :D
-
Yay!
What I've learned is fat = happy! :D
Skinny people can be happy too!
-
But not after a big barbaque!
If you haven't eaten too much you've done something wrong! :D
-
But not after a big barbaque!
If you haven't eaten too much you've done something wrong! :D
Again, I'm seen 90-pound girls PUT IT AWAY.
And I honestly don't know where.
-
It goes into their magical D-bags. XD
-
Oh when will they start putting bag of holdings out on the market T_T
-
Not soon enough, Pozf T-T
-
Ah, ok. I'd forgotten. I was just seeing these threads and wondering why the name was blacked out. (Guess the account doesn't exist anymore). Just curious.
He deleted all the threads he'd created and then deleted his account.
He's got the Socrates account now-a-days. Haven't seen him active for a while though, so he may have created another one since (Actually, he also owns the Bernadette account).
-
Time for another Good Idea Bad Idea: Good Idea the internet..........Bad Idea WiFi connections >:(
-
hmmm Sounds like I can make a game out of this concept.
I know I've heard this before though, I just Can't think of where.
-
I remember it from the Animaniacs and had that skeleton.
-
Ahhhhhhh yes. Now I remember... mostly.
-
look it up on you tube
-
One of the first things I did :P
-
Ahhhhhhh a wise guy eh?
-
Oh but of course.
-
you are too dangerous for you own good
-
Oh but of course :P
-
would like to stay and chat but off to get ready for work
-
My frozen pizza won't heat up quick enough!
Just thought you all should know.
-
mmmm frozen pizza.
-
Only good thing about having a slow cooking frozen pizza. The pepperoni gets extremely crunchy. Mmmm crunchy.
-
(the forum gets silent as everyone eats lunch)
mmmm, ready made chili. xP
God I want crunchy pepperoni
-
I also put bacon on it... >.>;
Canned chili?! ready the hot sauce(s)
-
mmmmmm, Bacon. Oh god, bacon.
Pasta with extra bacon is also good. Dominoes used to make it that way (mostly bacon.) >.>
-
Dominoes is mediocre around here, but in some other places it's about the best your gonna get.
Dominoes pizza with Pepperoni, Bacon, Jalapenos. My personal favorite
-
I don't like their pizza, and I really don't like their pasta either. But they have bacon pasta. With extra bacon. Which equals delicious.
-
BLARGH
Gotta write a paper tonight on Jonathan Swift... Anyone wanna get a pool going to see how long it takes me?
-
how long a paper does it have to be?
-
4 pages I think?
-
I place my bets at 4.5 hours.
I bet.... hm.... 3 beers and one bento.
(http://akashayi.net/random/dottoe/beer.gif) (http://akashayi.net/random/dottoe/beer.gif) (http://akashayi.net/random/dottoe/beer.gif) (http://akashayi.net/random/dottoe/bento.png)
-
O.o you have such little faith that you rank me at less than one page per hour?
I'm HURT!
-
But you're distracted with the flipside forums, and probably a bunch of other stuff on the internet. :P
(also, it's not a bet I mind losing, if it means I get someone drunk. hahaha)
-
heh Once I actually start writing, which will be any hour now. It'll probably take me roughly 15 minutes per page? maybe 20. The hardest part is doing the research, then proof reading>.< I always make Stupid-ass mistakes. (stupid ass-mistakes)
I don't get distracted. Pop on Winamp on a playlist I know I won't have to fuck with and I turn into a one track mind. Kind like I am when I play a video game.
-
I can't drink beer. It gives me the yucky tummies. :(
-
I have found no alcohol that I like the taste of, I have not tried one or two of the hard liquor.
-
It's not supposed to taste good.
Except for shnapps. That's yummy.
But I mean that the malt makes me barf.
Completly independent of the taste.
-
sooooo..... Anybody feel like doing a little bit of research for me ;D

yeah like I have free time :D
but anyway, I just had to share this (http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=865) because I keep laughing at it.
-
so all you frkers are online? I thought I was the only one for a minute there.
*and my forum whore status is consummated*
No! I have to go do work! I've never had a real-time conversation on a forum and I intend to keep it that way! I'm a post it and quit it kind of guy!!![/drama]
*waits for reply*
-
Umber, you know that real time forumation is far more satisfying. ;P
Edit: Hah. Cute comic.
-
*and my forum whore status is consummated*
My ass forum whore status! You don't even have 3 days worth of time on here! :P
Better?
Edit for stupid sentence structure.
-
That sentence was utterly confusing.
-
Fixed it.
-
Oh! rad.
Yeah, Umber. You don't put out nearly enough yet for that title. ;P
-
I'm thinking like a weeks worth? maybe 10 days?
Yea lets go with 10 days just because it makes it exclusive to me for a while :P 2 days and 11 hours to be exact (at this point in time). ;D
-
well maybe...if someone posted naked pics yeah then maybe...
damn ninja'd while I thought for like a half hour about this response...F!
yeah...Akasha, nice try...you can't take advantage of me just because I've had a little to drink *gets down on all fours naked after handing Akasha a whip*
Poszf: that is weird, 2 times I've keyboard slurred your name like that. This time I'm not fixing it. Um Poszf: (wow 3) yeah, whatever forum boy.
-
Hey I just have nothing better to do with mine time but idle in here.
-
Heh, if you're going to be like that, back in the sex thread, umber.

Fuck writers block Fuck writers block Fuck writers block Fuck writers block Fuck writers block
... Anybody know any cures T_T
-
Fuck it?
-
I can't fuck my own mind.
And if you mean fuck the essay. It's 30% can't blow it off.
-
I didn't really mean either. just the "Fuck writers block Fuck writers block Fuck writers block Fuck writers block Fuck writers block " inspired great responses :P
serious advice: take a break. try to forget about it completely. then go back to it after a while.
-
What I need is electroshock therapy ...
-
Electroshock therapy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violet_wand), you say?
-
Those things are kind of dangerous >.>;
If you're gonna do something with electricity use a TENS
-
even a TENS machine is bad tried it on my left knee and had it turned up to high :o :o :o :o and those violet wands look nasty
-
The TENS machine is Much safer, a good box (which can be a couple hundred dollars minimum) has a bunch of different wavelengths, amp, and voltage. + if you ever get injured that's what they're designed for. But the Violet wands can cause physical harm really easily, although they are a much better alt. (because they're fairly cheap I believe) then fashioning yourself some kind of electro therapy out of Radio shack items. Which people do, do and i don't know why.
-
I've seen it used in bondage shows, but never used it myself >.>
-
The violet wand? or the TENS
-
The violet wand ..... .............
Still, you were the one who said you wanted electroshock therapy. Violet wands are way more therapeutic than the machines they used to use in mental institutions.
-
huh? I wasn't talking therapeutic reasons... no no no I was talking more lobotomizing or memory wipe type electro shock >.>;
-
Time for another Odd's rants: will you two stop posting while im trying to catch up on last night's posts!!!!
-
Silly Oddball. You saying that will make us want to post more all over the place
-
................Only if you ask nicely.
-
PLEASE stop I'm begging you I'm on my worn out knees here. (instert bowing smily here)
-
ok caught up now thank you very much for your understanding......errrrr can I get off my knees now before they lock in place?
-
Gonna see if I can finish this fucking thing
-
Aw, ok, Pozf.
And no, Oddball. Stay down there.
(http://akashayi.net/random/icon_whip.gif)
-
yes Mistress
-
Sorry I meant to come back last night, but I suddenly, after working for a little bit, became powerfully tired and passed out in front of my computer.
Gotta start drinking coffee again for that "stay up till 3" goodness. *sips*
-
Mistress Akashayi may get up now please? I have to go to work soon
-
Do we have any guitar connoisseurs here?
-
Yes Odd, go, have fun.
I know how to read tabs and play guitar just a little bit. But I'm really more of a piano person.

Yes Odd, go, have fun.

Yeah, me too...
See, I'm giving one of my fictional characters a guitar and I'm trying to decide what kind of model to give them. Since I know next to nothing on guitars I'm trying to do a little research to avoid...inaccuracy.
-
But I already posted that in the Sex thread, punk. :P
I actually play piano, too. I've never done the sex on piano thing. Maybe something's wrong with me ;P
-
yes sorry not trying to gank your game, just trying to illustrate your point!
(plus you can never view that too many times)
Yes sorry everyone! Akasha's the one who introduced the awesome hot animated gif to the forum!
I love how you think that because you've never had sex on a piano something's wrong with you :P
-
I'll just have to fix that.
And....You're not ganking, it's more fun if you join in! I absolutely need more piano porn, too T-T
-
Was Akashayi's animated as well? I thought hers was static *shrug*
-
*yawns* long weekend makes smiles go..something something.
-
I suppose that was one way of learning how to play the piano Umber

Been silent due to my absence from the forum

i won't be on much this week myself. mom is on a clean the house or else kick.

I'm finally back around myself.
And sweet mother of shiezzen, I'm tired.

Maybe this place won't be so dammed inactive.
And aren't you always tired?

You can get a cable which is a direct plug from a headphone plug to a microphone plug. So if your computer has a microphone plug, simply use this cable to join your cassette player or any play device with a headphone port, to the computer and some software which can record input into the microphone.
-
wow it was quiet here this weekend...I was expecting to spend an hour just catching up reading stuff.
The move is starting to really take over life now...but it's a happy move, so that's good.
-
One last test tomorrow morning and this semester is fucking OVER.
-
good luck chief hope it goes well.
-
Good luck Pozf ^^
-
30 multiple choice, non-cumulative. Man I love that teacher.
-
I wish my finals where all like that!
-
Yea I was in and out in 6 minutes ^^
-
The tests i have at school take about one hour... :'(
-
Yea I was in and out in 6 minutes ^^
holy geez! What class?
-
Brain and behavior. It was a pysch. class that the teacher taught like a biology class. It's been my favorite class so far.
-
Yea I was in and out in 6 minutes ^^
Kshshshshsh.....

most of mine lasted 3 hours all written and noo multipule choice
-
Hey, how long do you have before you're in toilet snake land, Umber?
-
'bout 20 days. We don't actually have a flight yet but that's the plan.
However, I have a bunch of s#@$ to get done by then like a physical and we're still waiting on a couple passports, and if I don't manage it all by then the date may get pushed back.
"toilet snake land" ::) grrrr.
-
Hehehe... That's exciting though. You'll have to take a lot of pictures once you get there. (And of the toilets. I'm actually curious now ;P)
Do you have to get a lot of shots before you travel?
(http://akashayi.net/random/dottoe/618.gif)
-
naah only if you want to. Immunizations against snake venom and the like. ::) And I only need a physical because I'm going to stay as a permanent resident.
nice nursegirl by the way!
-
Nurses are the motivator for all men to get immunizations. ;)
-
I don't know. If that's full scale that needle is Huge.
-
Heh. I have more than one Evil Nursegirl to do my bidding:

Look it's got lightning coming out of it, that can't be healthy for you.

Morpheus: Would you like the red needle or the green needle Neo?
Neo: *gulp*

If I go over to the Red Sea for a diving holiday I hope I do not come across those nurses....those needles are HUGE!!! :o :o :o
-
It's really hot here. I think I'm about ready to die. Anybody wanna do the honors?
-
I'd help out but I'm in Australia, so my fingers are frozen too stiff to hold the gun let alone pull the trigger.
-
Lucky bastard. You can always put more clothes on. You can only take so much off before it's illegal, or deadly.
-
I would pull the trigger but need some sort of incentive first. Not to mention a Barret .50 calibre sniper rifle ;D

I think we just need to escape to someplace cold and rainy, Pozf.

It was like that a week ago. >:( I need to find a place that is like that all year round.
And if you have any idea where it is like that, tell me so I can start looking for an apt and job.
-
you could come over here to "Sunny" Scotland Pozf.
-
Well, LA is not the place for cool weather, that's for sure. ./suffering
-
according to this mornings weather forcast its meant to be heavy rain with thunder in the far North here and hale/hail stones. making you jealous yet?
-
"Sunny" huh.
Sounds good to me. Maybe, it is a future place it is a future place after all. I have enough trouble playing on EST time.
Scottland is what, GMT?
Maybe if I move to Washington (state that is) it will be both good weather. Plus I'll probably on the proper sleep schedule.
Edit: Yes. Yes you are.

Well, Last night we had between 14.5 and 19.3mm of rain in 4 hours (and heavy thunder) here on the southernmost tip of Sweden

So apparently some 4chan types organized a mass upload of porn to youtube a few days ago.
What will those whacky peeps think up next?
-
What's the point? Do they have anything against porntube / boobtube / any other <pornography related expression>Tube?
-
maybe they want youtube shut down? P.S what type of pron was it?
-

maybe they want youtube shut down? P.S what type of pron was it?
Regular type. Some of them were just posted straight, others were edited to appear as Hannah Montana/Jonas Brothers videos for about 20-30 seconds before switching to porn. I can only imagine how many innocences have been lost to this prank. :P
-
no such thing as Innocence.

no such thing as Innocence.
Only degrees of guilt?

no such thing as Innocence.
I completely disagree.

Did anybody know about this shit?
CYBERDYNE (http://www.cyberdyne.jp/english)

I think I may have messed up the linking process

where have I heard that name from? ???
-
It's the name of the company in the Terminator movies that kills us all.
-
AAhhhhhhhh wondered why it sounded so familiar :o
-
I had seen that before...website looks updated though...
-
I've also seen that before, but it was a long time ago. I find both what they're doing and the fact that they took on the name of Cyberdyne utterly awesome.
-
And of course, they're Japanese.

just waiting for a T1 to spring up on the website and start to wipe us all out by air strikes.

It would make more sense for the machines to use biological warfare. Kill off all humans with minimal damage to themselves/the earth.

That would make way more sense. Why couldn't you have written up a screenplay a little sooner?

I always thought the Skynet mind checklist should look like this:
1. Locate human(s).
2. Keep human(s) in check.
3. Build Nuke resistant soldiers.
4. Nuke human(s) till they're gone.
5. Do mindless repetitive tasks all night ;)

HMMMMMM Agent Orange...Oh shit wait that was that herbicide used in the '70s :o :o
-
It was a herbicide that was known to be dangerous for your health. Used in Vietnam to kill crops. Contains Dioxin (I think that's it) which is a carcinogen.
-
Thats the one Pozf sprayed along river banks from boats and aircraft.
-
More of a Zyklon B girl, myself. :P
-
HMM more of a phosegene/mustard gas person you know the WW1 stuff. makes a person drown in thier own fluids.
-
It's more effective, being cyanide based and all, but I like agent orange better because of the song Orange Crush.
Plus it burns like a mother fucker. Mustard gas that is. Falls under the same category as Zyklon B. Effectivity wise that is >.>;
Edit even more: ... I wonder what GLaDOS used? I know it was supposed to be a neurotoxin, but what exactly >.<
-
wow you guys are messed up :P I'm tempted to post pics of decroded mustard gas people. (http://www.freeemoticons.us/smilies/happy0001.gif)
WWI was like...ugh. Jesus. Humans suck and also are stupid.

I so agree with this. I get the impression Michael Bay might disagree though. I mean, Independence Day? Come on! But anyway the second half of that movie was just meant to demonstrate the virtues of distributed version control vs. centralized version control, so it gets a pass I guess.
-
As a Brit I found that film insulting when the line "Oh the Yanks have a plan" said by the R.A.F pilots using F-16's ....belive me I KNOW THESE THINGS!!!!
-
Don't judge us as a society by Michael Bay please Oddball. He's an idiot. A successful idiot but an idiot.
(even if someone else wrote that line, I blame Michael Bay. Anyway he totally changes the script when he directs)
Ever seen The Island? Pretty great movie except for Michael Bay's influence. But well, he did do the whole thing, so I guess I have to give him credit for the enjoyable aspects too. But really, the movie is so disappointing to watch because it's so clear that it could be so much better.
-
So I'm searching 'round think geek looking for stuff I wanna buy, but am not gonna buy but want to. Anyway as usual I come across C8H10N402 Necklace (http://www.thinkgeek.com/caffeine/accessories/9d8f/) And I think 'Man I think I might buy this.' It's $85 >.< Why do nice things have to be expensive!
I think I might buy myself Killer bunny slippers because I can though.
-
you can get a cheapass caffeine molecule on etsy: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24442854
But yeah, I've wanted the one you're talking about >.<
Too many nice things out there. The should just give them to me for free.
-
You don't deserve free things. I do!
-
My apologies Umber.
-
no apology needed friend!! I didn't even think you were judging us as a society, I was just trying to preempt that. :D
-
Was not judging our colonial cousins just really hate that film for that one scene.
-
Anybody wanna switch lives with me for tomorrow?
Anybody? Anybody at all? There will be cake.
I swear I won't try to slowly drop you into a fiery pit. Seriously.
-
Sorry mate I would but serriously drained from spending a lot of cash on my car :( plus you would be suffering from a hang over tommorrow if we swopped bodies.....Do you want that?
-
Over having to deal with Birthday shit? Fuck yea. Bring on the orbs of pain replacing my eyeballs.
-
:o :o :o :o WHOA!! Birthday?!?! sorry the deal is off its bad enough going through one with out taking on some one elses :( my next big step is getting my bus pass.
-
Damn. Any other takers?
-
why what's tomorrow?
-
People having conversations with you/doing things in their sleep can be one of the most frustrating things in the world.
./drinks more redbull
-
Yay for Bloody Mary shirt!
why what's tomorrow?
It's my birthday tomorrow and I don't feel like dealing with everything.
-
Really? Cool! happy b-day a day early!^_^ :-*
-
*Picture deleted rant about birthdays here*
Thanks Smiles.
-
Dont worry Pozf....it only happens once a year.
-
Dont worry Pozf....it only happens once a year.
It's not a problem I have with my birthday in particular, it's my problem with how everybody else around me expects from birthdays. Always have to give a gift, "I deserve special treatment because it's my birthday", "Make sure you do what X wants because it's all about X today." All of that stigma.
See something that a friend has been wanting but can't get for whatever reason? Don't wait for an excuse such as a birthday or Christmas, or any of the so called "holidays", just go buy it and say "Hey, I remembered you wanted this."
Don't wait to treat somebody different because of the day. If you want to treat them special do so, if you don't just don't. There are too many fake emotions that are conjured up by "holidays", It makes me sick.
Wanna wish somebody to have a happy birthday? Sure why not it's courtesy, but everything else is just bullshit1
Just my very angry opinion.
1edit: I know this part is kinda hypocritical, but it doesn't bother me... Don't know why.
-
agree wi you Pozf everything is too comercialised these days, as soon as Hallo'een is over the shops break out the Christmas stuff.
-
Actually around here they're starting to come out before All Hallows’ Eve is over.
-
lol soon all the Xmas stuff will be out during the summer.
-
All of you didn't wanna switch lives with me today are missing out. This cake is great. It's so delicious and moist.
-
I'll make do with cold pizza ???
-
haha Pozf left his own birthday party to go post. Either that or he had a laptop on the dinner table while everyone was eating cake. Probably playing Halo or something.
-
I always have my laptop with me, and Halo sucks.
-
God, I've been so distracted I totally missed that. Happy belated Birthday, Pozf. I would have helped you if you had any extra potions of possession, but no promises on what you would have done :P
And laptops go everywhere for starcraft, :P
-
I suck at Starcraft. Laptops go everywhere for Fallout 3, Mass Effect, Diablo II, and Painkiller :P
And thanks.
-
As I mentioned, I'm back. If you remember me, Heya. If you don't, hello there.
-
I vaguely remember you. Either way Welcome to the new forums of old.
In a more nerve wracking turn of events I play on going job searching tomorrow, and there is one place I really would like to get the job at. Wish me luck.
-
I remember you Churba, though I wasn't as active back then. Welcome back :D
And good luck pozf. Break a couple legs. ./hands you a baseball bat.
Where are you applying to?
-
It's a local music store I used to / going to be taking lessons at again, and I know the owner so I hope that will help. There are a couple of world class musicians in the store. I'm hoping it will reignite my musical love, which has faded as of recently.
-
Do it! Then the perverted musicians of the flipside forums can combine their powers to take over the world.
BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
-
Hey,hey hey hey... hey..... hey. perverted? me? Though I am all for taking over the world.
The only problem I see is when I go back to take lessons (which I will need if we plan to take over this world.), I have the choice of 2 teachers. One is the guy I had previous to this semester and is an amazing teacher, He's done some drums for a few big name CD's (none of the names I can remember >.>; ). And the other one is the current drummer for Blue Oyster Cult. So I'm actually quite torn.
Just tell me what I need to do to prepare for the takeover.
-
Good luck with the interview chief......................do you need to be a perverted musician to join in taking over the world? what about odd? A sherman tank can give you a very nice edge ;D
-
*huggles Churba*
the way I see it it all depends on how you take over the world. if you destroy it in the takeover than yeah but if you enslave it that's another thing.
-
So I *kind of* got a job. The owner didn't have a steady job for me which does suck. But he did give me a couple of little perks. Such as he put me directly on the paid volunteer list, which is good. As well as he would be willing to teach me how to work the lights, which could open up opportunities such as helping him on tour. So... yay. But boo because it's only a weekend type thing and my mom is still bitching at me/
-
hey something these days is better than nothing. ;)
-
Not for my mother >.<
Food time!
-
how about anime time!^_^ :-*
-
I guess so, but not for me.
-
soon to be shower and bed time...during the day
-
Watching a lot of E3 videos today. Fun times, lots of cool videos *drool*
-
Pardon my language here, but
WHAT THE EVER FUCKING FUCK >.< I just finished spending most of the day scrubbing the front of my house, because it was tagged up with "Go home Convict!", "Stalker Freak!" and "Leave (Salubivires name) Alone!"
Her psycho little london scumbag lying piece of shit of a new boyfriend has gone too fucking far this time.
More news after I have a shower, a sleep, and calm down a bit.
ARRRRGH.
And people wonder why I'm a misanthropic bastard.
-
That HAS to be illegal, any way you can somehow video tape him harassing you?

WTF!?
Seriously, don't ever wipe that stuff away! Call the Police and have them gather evidence and chase down the freak who did this. The writing style, fingerprints in the paint, the paint it's self, etc is all good evidence to track the SOB down.
Have you been to jail or anything? Whats this Convict crap and Stalker garbage?
-
Yep seen that done before when i still lived with my ex
-
Over here the police does nothing about stuff like that, only after you are actually hurt.
-
That HAS to be illegal, any way you can somehow video tape him harassing you?
No, because A)I was asleep when it happened and B)It wouldn't have been him, he's too Cowardly and on top of that, What better way to say "It can't have been me!" than being somewhere else.WTF!?
Seriously, don't ever wipe that stuff away! Call the Police and have them gather evidence and chase down the freak who did this. The writing style, fingerprints in the paint, the paint it's self, etc is all good evidence to track the SOB down.
Have you been to jail or anything? Whats this Convict crap and Stalker garbage?
Nope, It was easier to do it this way - Landlord was threatening my bond(He saw it when he came round in the morning), finger-shaped smears in the paint without fingerprints(so they were wearing gloves) the paint cans were absent, and three distinct writing styles - also, they were probably not Yorkshire lads, as this bloke in question is a Rich, arrogant London boy, as are many of his friends.
No - I've never been to jail, And "Convict" is because I'm an Australian, living in England. As for the stalker garbage, It's a cross between salubi being paranoid, and That little scumbag pushing her as hard as he can into whatever bad shit he can convince her of about me.
I'll try to make a thread later to explain it all - I have no qualms about telling you all the truth about the whole matter - with the names redacted.
Over here the police does nothing about stuff like that, only after you are actually hurt.
Pretty much the same in this case - I wasn't hurt, and the best I have is a reasonable suspicion about who called it in to be done. The police can't do anything about it, really, besides collect some evidence and file it.
Edit - In fact, that's exactly what I'll do - as soon as I get home this evening, I'm making a thread to tell you all the truth about it. I'm sick of all the crap salubi's been spreading about me, I'm sick of all the lies and the bullshit, and I'm sick to the eye teeth of just sitting here and copping it because I don't want to piss her off and make her leave. Fuck it. If she can't handle the truth about what she's done, and the truth about this little psycho scumbag she's shacked up with, Then maybe she shouldn't have done it in the first place.
I know you all are not really connected to her, but at least someone would know the truth.
-
I'll try to make a thread later to explain it all - I have no qualms about telling you all the truth about the whole matter - with the names redacted.
I'm not sure if that's what you should do.....
Salubi is a former member of this forum and i don't understand what the purpose would be
to drag personal stuff here.
-
Yes, I suppose you're right. Angry ranting won't get me anywhere.
-
AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!
You poor bastard mate! Haven't you told those poor sods what POME stands for? Bloody wankers.
Hell yeah mate, you tell 'em! You come from a land down under! Where women roar and men thunder!
CAN YA HEAR, CAN YA HEAR THE THUNDER!?
YA BETTER RUN, YA BETTER TAKE COVER!
-
Look, She screwed me over very, very badly, but it wasn't entirely her fault - there were outside factors. I'm not angry at her, I'm mostly angry at myself, and angry at the situation, but not at her - I mean, yeah, sometimes I have a flash or two of rage at things, like the time I had to beg for forgiveness, to the point of humiliation, just to get her to talk to me again, because she was angry that I'd called her on a lie she'd told.
But I'll be honest - I knew the whole time what was going on, and I forgave her from the start. If I hadn't, I still wouldn't be struggling, starving, and fighting to stay here for her, because she's in a very bad situation right now, and while people who know her recognize it, she's away from them, and the people around her just keep encouraging her to get deeper and deeper.
But, No matter what happens, I'm not going to give up on her. It's just a very hard situation, and I've had a hard time in the past - hell, the girl I was with before salubi put me in the hospital, by breaking a coffee mug over my head - and it wasn't the first time she'd beaten the hell out of me. It was salubi that gave me the courage, drive and support to get out of that hell, and she's the first woman I trusted enough to share my life with after that.
If I go too far, If I get too ranty, pull me in and smack me around the ear. Just because shit is going badly, doesn't mean I get to take it out on you guys, salubi, or anyone else.

I feel a bit guilty, now - it seems I come back, and everyone vanishes!

Thats because most of us are using our work place's internet ;D

Have not been feeling to good and been working on my Series 3 Land Rover so stayed away from the 'net over the weekend.

A great deal of person stuff here and probably stuff that's not relevant to Churba's particular situation but...
Look, She screwed me over very, very badly, but it wasn't entirely her fault - there were outside factors. I'm not angry at her, I'm mostly angry at myself, and angry at the situation, but not at her - I mean, yeah, sometimes I have a flash or two of rage at things, like the time I had to beg for forgiveness, to the point of humiliation, just to get her to talk to me again, because she was angry that I'd called her on a lie she'd told.
But I'll be honest - I knew the whole time what was going on, and I forgave her from the start. If I hadn't, I still wouldn't be struggling, starving, and fighting to stay here for her, because she's in a very bad situation right now, and while people who know her recognize it, she's away from them, and the people around her just keep encouraging her to get deeper and deeper.

Well, I can't claim to know the entire situation here, so its hard to comment, but I will give some advice. Maybe it's relevant, maybe it's not.
My relationship with my wife wasn't one of equals but one of abuse and groveling. I had a strange sense of obligations in relationships when I was young and it was pretty much a matter of never standing up for myself and groveling like a beaten dog, trying to beg forgiveness and tolerance from a pack leader. Whenever she was upset, angry or frustrated and directed some of it at me I was practically falling over myself to be forgiven and would go out of my way to effectively help her put me down while doing everyting I could to uplift her.
I am not putting myself down but speaking truthfully when I say that much of this was my fault. My wife wasn't nearly as abusive towards me (if at all) when we first met, etc. However, my attitude of always submitting to her will, deferring decisions to her and pretty much letting her get her own way whenever she got pouty, angry or upset ment that she learnt to do it more often. Understand that whenever she acted like this, she was rewarded with getting her way or having me do some major lovey-dovey stuff, Sappy/Corny lines and appologies for things that didn't/shouldn't have needed any apology.
Over the years, she became worse. She would get upset and threaten me with divorce or even suggest killing herself to bring out the same reaction that I rewarded her with, every time. In public, she was completely different, like she subconciously knew that the behaviour was wrong and didn't want others to see, but maybe she just didn't want my pittiful behaviour on display either, as I sought sympathy from her and others for wrongs that either didn't exist or just weren't worth the attitude I had in return.
Eventually I begun withdrawing as she'd cry and abuse me each time I went to go out with friends or belittle my work around the house. I sunk into a hole where I lacked the motivation to do almost anything because I'd get abused just as much for doing something as I did for doing nothing. No task could be done in a relaxing manner or to her satisfaction, it all needed to be criticised and she would work herself up to every wrong I had apparently done to her over the time of our relationship, building the abuse up higher and higher without relent as I continued so that it felt like torture to do anything. I sunk myself into complete and utter apathy and self-pitty as my wife stressed herself with nearly every house-hold chore, continuing to take her new frustration at my procrastination on me every night... Until one day I just not so much as snapped, but clicked.
I had a sort of epiphany as to my situation and rose out of my pit. I begun to cook meals again, clean the house, make the bed, walk to work, eat well, exercise and go out. I begun to, not so much argue back, but stand my ground and ceased groveling and begging for forgiveness that wasn't needed. I'd been suggesting marriage counciling on and off for a few years but begun to suggest it more strongly as I sought a way to better my life. But she didn't want to admit that anything was wrong.
In a car trip to my grandparents, she became frustrated with the long drive and begun to abuse me with riddicule of my driving and a torrent of other inconsequential problems from the entire span of our time together. As I drove on and refused to appologise or submit, I came to a conclusion that not only did I no longer hold much love for my wife any more but I wasn't even sure I could regard her as a friend. As she drove on about how she was having problems dealing with our marriage I suggested marriage counciling once again, she shot back in anger that we should probably just get divorced, as she had many times before then, and this time I simply said "done".
She didn't take much heed to the comment until I put in writing that we were now seperated and moved myself to a spare bedroom. I told her that the law required us to be seperated for 12 months before we could be divorced but if no head-way was made in our marriage in 4 months, I would move out and there would be little chance of recovery from that. So she finally agreed to marriage counciling and from there we begun to work on our marriage together. It's 8 months later and we're still working on it as we both continue to push ourselves to break old habbits of abuse or subjegation that lead to a relationship that was detrimental to the both of us. Things still aren't at a point that I'd be happy to remain in for the remainder of my life, but they continue to improve as my wife continues to work with me in pushing out of our old routines.
Again, I don't know your exact situation, or if this even applies, but as long as there's no danger of loosing you entirely, she'll continue to use you with ease, thinking that you'll always be there to go back and forth from, when she'd in a downer, wants to throw abuse or watch you crawl for her attention. Your submission to that role only encourages and entrenches it in her, until its almost routine and you'll simply continue to go in these circles until something changes and its much easier for you to change the situation at your end than hers. Give her a deadline, to make a difference or force her to do something that will make it far harder for her to return to the habits that harm her and turn her away no matter how desperate she is until she hits a point that she takes that leap. Heck, resolve to move away by a certain date if you're only there for her. Tell her that she can join you or you'll always be willing to pay for a one-way ticket to your new location. Then follow through and don't look back until she looks to follow you.
I guess what I'm saying is that it sounds like you've both slipped into a routine where she is in control of the situation and is quite happy to have you sitting there for whenever she has a use for you only to return to her ways when that requirement is fullfilled. And part of that may well be your fault for letting her fall into that repetition by playing your part in it. You need to take control and make a change that will break the circle. A change that means your life will continue on as though she is out of the equasion. She may call for help or a continuation of the current situation, but you must be strong and hold fast to your conditions, allowing her to sink to a level of desperation that gives her the will and the drive to accept them.
If she never reaches that level, then there's little you can do other than continue with our life and hold steadfast to any attempts to gain pity.

I had half a reply here, but I'll edit and reply better later on.

Gets like that *lol*
Again, not 100% sure that applies to your situation. It's difficult to read into the exact details, so don't get offended or anything if I've missed the mark.

Man, are you sure you're not talking about me and my mother? Although I don't think your solution would work for me an her.
-
Screw the edit, I'll just give you the short version - It's not her Fault, in a way. I'm not making an excuse or anything like that - the full responsibility of her actions still lies with her, but there is a severe third party factor to consider.
Salubi is wonderful. She's really the best person I've ever known - I mean, shit, she put up with a dead-end, useless, lazy unmotivated no-hoper like I was when she first met me in person. She never gave up on me, helped me, taught me a lot of things like compassion and caring, kindness, and trust. We fit together like two pieces of a puzzle, and she made me happier and healthier than I'd been in a long time. We intended to get married when we came over here - and I gave up everything to be with her. My family, my friends, my home, and even an offer for a job that's been my dream for a very long time, that she gave me the courage to follow in the first place.
The problem is that she hurt her back while she was in Australia, and made it worse when she came back to england(a month before I arrived) working at a cafe. She went to the doctor, and I know that the doctor put her on very strong drugs - I suspect that it's Diazepam, as her behavior and presented symptoms, both at the time and in the 10 months I've been here, line up all to well for it to be mere coincidence. She's become someone that the Salubi you all know, that her friends know, that I knew, would be disgusted with.
Well, that was a week before I arrived. Three weeks after I arrived, she left for university - another one of my stupid mistakes. She wanted to go to Newcastle(because I could live in a larger city like newcastle, and it's a good uni), and I convinced her to go to Aberystwyth(Because even though I couldn't live in Aber, and I knew this, it's a vastly superior university to newcastle for her course) because I didn't want her to have a second-rate education just because of me - I'm not worth that.
Well, that's where things went wrong. I won't drag everyone into the minuate of the relationship, but suffice it to say, she cheated on me. She also lied to me heavily, and strung me along for quite a while, and treated me very badly - Things like making no attempt to contact me, not paying any attention to my attempts to contact her, and then going off at me because I hadn't been in contact, and as I said before with the begging for forgiveness to the point of humiliation because I called her out for lying.
Enter even more trouble - Her new boyfriend. A rich, arrogant london scumbag, from Mitcham, Surrey. I know a lot about him - he made some threats, so I went and dug deep, found out a lot of very unsavory things that I decline to discuss in a public forum like this.
He's been putting stupid ideas in her head, lying about me, so on, so fourth. Not a nice guy, really. He's even gone to the point of when catherine did something he didn't approve of - which was Seeing me over easter(which went well, but we ended up having a big argument over a misunderstanding) - he revealed to her that he'd "Discovered" who was behind this fake facebook account, "Jessica Baum", telling her it was me - when it was actually a fake account he set up himself, using a spare e-mail account of mine that he'd gotten into - It was really stupid, really obvious(some people figured it out most of the way even before I did)
He'd also been spying on my Facebook and Gmail account for quite a while - and as I mentioned earlier in the thread, had my house sprayed up.
He also had been peppering me with "Anonymous"(He's not as smart as he thinks he is, and left a digital trail that an Amish priest could follow) e-mails, with pictures of them together, taunting messages, all sorts of things like that - and when I accidentally caught him on the phone once, and he threatened me, and said some horrible things about Salubi that absolutely defy belief.
He's also been cheating on her pretty much from the start, with more than one girl. Salubi Caught him recently, and got rid of him - but took him back, and while I've been told of what he convinced her of to get her back, I don't know for sure, so I'm not talking about it.
I'll give him credit, though, he's got a pair of stones on him. Not only did he convince salubi to take his sorry arse back, and made her think she'd done something wrong in the process, he told the other girl that he'd gotten rid of salubi, that she had been a horrible bitch to him, but that he forgave her after she begged to be with him again and cried to him about how horrible she'd been, though he told her that they could only be friends, and that she's really broken up about it and still wants him back, but he keeps telling her that he loves the other girl, to her distress, and that she's so heartbroken about it that she's barely eating and barely doing anything.
That's a serious pair of balls, chucklenuts. I can't wait till somebody kicks you right in them.
What makes it all the more painful - not long after she got to uni, she came back and took the time to come see me - and she was my Salubi again, as if the past time had never happened. That lasted all of a week, maximum, and then she was back to being who or whatever that she has become now - and also, it makes it all the more unlikely that there is no outside factor in her behavior.
Sure, people change, but they don't change so absolutely in a week, and then change back just as rapidly after a month or so, and then change again even more rapidly.
But, that's the deal, in short. You should see the long version.

See, this is the problem. You can't let youself be pushed over, no matter what the excuse. There is no excuse, drugs or not, you show that you have a backbone and stand up for yourself or she will subconsciously learn to think of it as an acceptable way to treat you. Begging, grovelling and playing the part of the one in the wrong when being abused is like giving a dog a treat for growling at you, or even biting you. It encourages the behaviour and while the drugs might tip her towards it, if you accept it then you discourage her from fighting those outbursts or even viewing them as wrong, after the fact.
I'm not saying you cheat on her, abuse her back or do anything like fighting fire with fire. You just hold firm to the belief that you deserve respect and let her know when she does something that is simply disrespectfull you won't let her yells, screams or threats sway you from a matter-of-fact approach to pointing it out and letting her know that it will not pass as acceptable any longer. You walk away when she takes her frustrations out on you and you hang up on her when she begins to abuse you. If it's anything like what I went through, the abuse will only escalate at first as she pushes all the harder to bring about the same reactions she's come to expect. I went through threats of divorce, suicide and even a couple of situations where she held a knife and threatened to stab me, but I held steady and she, I and our relationship are all the better for it.
Find a balance between contacting her enough to keep contact but not to come across as desperate or needy. If it's a call, sometime after an argument, you don't call to get an apology or even dive back into the unfinished argument, it's just a call to catch up and keep the lines open. If she's drags it into the mud you hang up and go about your day.
Basically, you respect yourself enough to believe you deserve respect, otherwise you're no better than she is, in allowing her new/ex boyfriend to manipulate her into believing that his disrespectful behaviour is her fault and to keep chasing him despite his chasing another woman. That guy has some balls but they just dangle from the arsehole that constitutes the rest of him.
Grow some yourself but take pride in the knowledge that they're attached to a man and understand that as lucky as you might count yourself to have her in your life, she should count herself lucky to have you in hers. If she doesn't, then you're probably not all that lucky and are better to move on. If she does, then you are.
-
I am. In fact, I told her that the last time we spoke - I still have my dignity, and while I let it carry on before, I'm not taking any shit anymore. It's hard to explain - I'm talking absolute and utter personality shift, some real Phineas Gage shit, here.
I've been respectful, understanding and kind. It took a while for the people around me to pound it into my head, but I've done nothing wrong. The days of begging forgiveness are long over.
Keeping in contact is hard, though - Chucklenuts twists everything on me, turns the slightest thing I do into some horrible, hitler-esque crime. When I finally lined up what she could have been on, and tried to get the information I had on the drug to her - because I still care for her, and would never, ever want her to come to harm - and tried to get her to get back to me about the situation, he spun it on it's head and made her think I've been telling people she's an addict, and I was doing it just to get a reaction.
The Drug doesn't help. For example, one of the side effects is Paranoia, and chucklenuts plays that up to the hilt, manipulating it to push her further and further into his crazy bullshit ploys - For example, Jessica Baum. Other people figured out that it wasn't me before I'd even said anything to them, but it played right into the paranoid state she was in between the drug and his bullshit, so she accepted it without a second thought.
One thing, though - It's not an abusive situation. If it were, I'd get rid of her and everyone to do with her so fast I'd leave flaming tyre-prints and travel through time. It's just a messed up situation, and it's slowly getting sorted out - and I'm not alone here. I have some help, and I have some friends.
Please don't think any less of her. She's in a very dangerous situation right now - drugs or no - for reasons I won't discuss publicly, for a number of reasons. She's done some very, very wrong and stupid things, but shit, I dare any of you to honestly say you haven't too.
And I'll add that this isn't the way she typically behaves - as I said, some Phineas Gage shit going down right here.
I forgive her for what she has done - It does not absolve her of responsibility, nor excuse her actions, But I forgive her.
I don't trust her as far as I could spit, though - She broke my trust, and continued to try to lie to me even after I made it clear that I knew every time she lied.
-
Sounds like you got it in hand, but always good to vent the $#!t out hu?
Your best reliance is on her other friends and family who still have her best interests at heart. Whenever your own word is in doubt compared to Chucklenut's, just refer her to others who should hold her trust to back you up.
Good luck mate, but heck, PM me if you ever feel like chatting about the particulars or just wanna know how badly the Blues are getting their arse kicked by the Maroons ;)
-
I appreciate the offer of a listening ear, mate. And I'm lucky - Her brother is with me in this(Well, he's technically on her side, but in the "I'm for her health, wellbeing and happiness" kinda way) and one of her closest friends is also with me in this - I raised the medical concern with her, and she listened despite what she'd heard because it was an issue of Salubi's saftey, and ever since she's heard some about Salubi's behavior, she shares my concerns on the issue - I'm doing what I can. She didn't give up on me back then when things were rough, and I'm not going to give up on her now.
As for the Mighty Maroons - I caught the game the next day, I convinced the owner of my local to put a recording up on the big screen and advertise it heavily, plenty of screaming rugby fans there that night. I was the only Aussie, but everyone was going for the maroons.
-
The Maroons devastated 'em. I thought for a few moments they might actually crawl back but I think it was just QLD taking a rest after giving them an initial kicking before coming back hard and leaving them demotivated with the impending result.
Both teams need to work on their defence a bit.

*huggles churba* :( I'll cross all my fingers and toes so it all works out for the best churba. wish I could do more but the distance kinda bites things. :-\
I'm crossing all I have too, believe me. Salubi's been my best friend since not long after I came to Flipside, and if nothing else, I don't want to lose that - though, it does lend me a measure of disappointment, too - having known me so well for so long, It surprises me that she would believe a lot of the things she's become convinced of about me.
Hopefully, it will all work out - believe me when I say I'm trying my hardest to make things right.
I must admit, I do feel a bit stupid about one thing - If I'd have just taken some initiative, and been motivated, I could have moved to Aberystwyth, there is a lot of pubs down there - about 56 or so in one small town - but I got it into my head that I couldn't do it. Would it have helped? Hell if I know, but that doesn't stop me feeling bad about it.
Like I said, I'm not going to give up on her. I'll admit, I was a real shit when we met. How much of a shit? Well, We were....well, not together in the traditional sense, but we were in love and had decided to be exclusive to each other before we met, I knew she was coming to Australia to meet her, but I still cheated on her - I got together with someone who was basically all but her in looks, similar in personality type, as a proxy for her till I could be with her. She found out, and she was extremely hurt - but she still came to meet me anyway, and moved in with me a week after we met - even after I did possibly the stupidest, most hurtful thing I've ever done to anyone, she didn't give up on me.
She made me into a better person after that, but I won't deny I was an utter prick when she met me.

Hey shot in the freaking dark here, but does anybody know whether or not the standard 1 year limited warrenty on an HP laptop covers the AC adapter? I've read through the warranty and can't make heads or tales of it.

wow. at age 50? that's kinda scary - well, yes, he was scary too, but heart attack? wow - like him or not, that's awfully young to die of heart attack.
-
Although it's very likely that he has died.. it's not been confirmed yet by CNN
-
... it's not been confirmed yet by CNN
whoops, wouldn't have said anything if the news station had said it was unconfirmed.
-
Looks like it's confirmed now.
-
CNN is still cautious about it i guess...
-
CNN is still cautious about it i guess...
Yeah, looks like NBC news confirmed it.
-
._.
just thinking about him dead is weird.
-
i didn't realize he was 50. it surprised me when they said how old he was. I guess it never dawned on me.*shrugs*
-
wow. at age 50? that's kinda scary - well, yes, he was scary too, but heart attack? wow - like him or not, that's awfully young to die of heart attack.
I blame Kira...
-
... you did not just say that.
-
XD OMG! My Brother Made a Deathnote Reference too when I told him
-
50 is not young for a heart attack a while back a football3r's son had one when he was 15. been hearing about this all night at work on the BBC news channel.
-
Any age to have a heartattack that's under 75 is young..
-
Weird!!! Isn't it? I heard it this morning...and i have to say i was i total shock for a few minutes....
-
could not belive that he and Miah had died :(

oh heh. well I don't feel to bad then.
-
Somebody please shoot me so i can go to sleep :'(
-
I could just hit you over the head with something blunt till you go comatose?
-
Yes please!
-
Aw, there are far better ways to lure you to sleep.
-
But this one is the most fun!
-
Run in circles till ya fall over works pretty well for me
-
Actually if you do physical exercise Right before you try to go to sleep, it will keep you awake. The chemicals that help you fall asleep are not released while you are active, normally.
-
It's 4 in the morning and i need to go to bed....But i'm not sleepy...
Save meh!!! :'(
-
WEAK, I always go to bed at 5 or 6. :P
Anyway just sit in bed, you'll get more tired. You sitting at a computer will keep your body awake longer.
-
I usually find myself putting on sleepy movies at that point
-
I think i'll just go to bed anyway...
My back hurts and my eyes are square.
Bye bye sexeh people!
-
Sleepy movies are great. Or there's always some documentary thats playing some quiet tune and taking you to serene places under the water, out in space or in the middle of europe.
-
I find doing a 12hour night shift helps
-
Right, house move achived with a minimum of stuff loss - and a maximum of stress. Still sorting out internet, so I'm still a little scarce, but we're getting it worked out. Back full time soon, part time for now.
-
Well... Welcome (part-time) back. *lol*

OH NO! A Glomper!
*launches a pre-emptive Glomp against smiles* :-*

I am a Jedi on the glomp team ^_^ I love glomping!

I saw Public Enemies the last night.
It was pretty good.

I might add - the other reason not on much, going mental trying to find a job and get my work visa extended. It's utterly kicking my arse right now, and if I can't get both (not just one or the other) I'm futterly Ucked, and will be heading back to Australia in very short order.
-
Well, the economy is picking up again back here so you should be right to return. Master Chef has really taken off here so bars and restraunts are taking off like mad all of a sudden. Where would you come back to in the Great South Land?

Back home to Brisbane, I'm thinking, though I might take some time aside not long after I get back and head up to townsville, see what the go is there for a while. Buggered if I know, really, but I know I'll be heading into hospitality again, and running hard on getting back into the airline industry - Turning down the offer from V Australia to come here will make that harder, by eliminating a handful of companies(Pretty much, the entire virgin group), but hell, it can't be any harder than living here. I mean, Jesus christ, I've gone from Ryan Reynolds in Blade 3 to Sid fucking Vicious, Purely from not being able to afford food, and don't ask about everything else, because I'm not going to cracking the sads in public about what's already been gone and done.

good luck getting settled in Churba ^_^ :-* ;) i'll still be here when you're ready to come back full time.^_^
I saw Public Enemies the last night.
It was pretty good.
I saw the Night at the Museum 2 and if you saw the first one It was awesome. .... actually even if you didn't see the first one it was awesome^_^
-
Good news Everyone! After 4 days of work and a new router, I've managed to create a crazy powerful wireless network in this house.
Also, you are now reading that sentence in the voice of Professor Hubert J Farnsworth.
-
Lol curse you and your Futurama head games, Churba.
-
Whats the prof's name in the simpsons again? cos that what i had in my head when i read that lol

Professor Frink, dude.

Oh my god guys, the last many days have been crazy insane for me. Going through forum/life withdrawals o_o
Also, Anime expo was fun, I did a lot of work as press and I feel like I harassed Brion sufficiently.
Here, have a stare cat.

Dammit! I have to sit over here in Australia and listen to all these people go off about how they're meeting all these webcomic artists I follow *lol*
Nah, it's cool. Hey! I made an appearance in today's www.shadowgirlscomic.com page as a truck driver... who apparently hits on grandmothers *LOL*
Part of a competition I won some time ago. The prize was to appear in the comic and here I am in the very last page of their first full season/series.

Hurray for you!
-
HUZZAH! Charles are you getting a round of drinks in now?
-
Well, let's get to it!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v490/akashayi/169.gif)
As of sunday though, I'm temporarily staying away from alcohol. xP
-
By choice or enforced?
-
by choice. Not really cause I need to, either, just... dealing with a lot right now.
-
It's good that you don't drink to solve your problems, and refrain from drinking when you're going through a rough patch.
My dad does the opposite. It doesn't work that good for him though. :(
-
Drink solves nothing am affraid.
-
Yeah, "drowning your sorrows" isn't really that much of a viable solution.
-
Well I guess it depends on the timeline.
Right now, it's a fantastic solution.
Later, not so much.
-
was going to post some thing here but decided to delete it. hard to explain why but did not feel the right place,time or the right words.
-
It's okay if you have an alcahol problem Oddball. I still love you.
-
I did not that far back in this screwballs history :-\
-
by choice. Not really cause I need to, either, just... dealing with a lot right now.
I've been doing the same since about last September, for my own reasons. However, I'll still drink, I just won't drink enough to get even close to drunk, I'll just have one or two basically because I enjoy the taste, rather than the alcohol.
-
I have a freind who has foresworn intoxicants and sex for an untold legnth of time and it's funny becuase he's not like unpopular or wierd or anything.
He says he's doing it for enlightenment or something. ::)

Nothing so noble here, I just do really stupid shit when I'm drunk.
-
I do too, the problem is I think I'm being charming. :P
-
*meh* I've been drunk a few times. I usually find I just get quiet
But if I'm tipsy I'm my normal energetic self with just a few less inhibitions. Which can be good for socializing without feeling self-concious. But generally I drink for taste. when I go out I order a different drink every order to see what they are all like at that particular joint. Although if someone is buying me a drink I'll usually go for the stock standard Carlsberg Green.
@Akashayi: Good luck girl and all you other soberites. We're rooting for you and sometimes in your life you just need one of those breaks to settle a few things before getting back to party mode.
-
I do too, the problem is I think I'm being charming. :P
Indeed, that's what elevates it from Merely stupid to Really stupid.
-
Yeah. And I the drunker I get the more likly I am to try to have sex with literally anthing that moves.
...
I mean, more then usuall. :'(
-

Usually that's the part that gets me elevated from "Really stupid" to "Really stupid, and bleeding"
-
wait...so you have furry tendencies when our drunk?
-
When I stay up really long (i.e. a day or so), I start to hallucinate.
Once I hallucinated that the hairs on my arms were twining together eight at a time and transforming into spiders.
Once I snapped out of it, I decided it was time to go to bed.
-
wait...so you have furry tendencies when our drunk?
Um... no. I am not a Zoofile.
Well not really. Occasionlly I like to read porno comics with anthropomorphic animal characters, but as far as like have sex with chickens or horses; yucky. I am actually a little surprised you would think of me like that, Smiles. :(
Well I guess I am kinda wierd, huh. ::)
No I meant other people. At one party I blurted out to like three people if they wanted to have sex with me. I think had too much. :-\
-
Um... no. I am not a Zoofile.
Well not really. Occasionlly I like to read porno comics with anthropomorphic animal characters, but as far as like have sex with chickens or horses; yucky.
The bolded part would be a furry tendency. The underlined part would be a more of a Zoo tendency.
-
well I didn't know what she meant.
and neither is particularly effected by my imbibing alcahol.
-
I have a freind who has foresworn intoxicants and sex for an untold legnth of time and it's funny becuase he's not like unpopular or wierd or anything.
He says he's doing it for enlightenment or something. ::)
Does he meditate under a waterfall? No waterfall, it's not going to work.
-
I think Smiles was just joking at your comment of going for anything that moves.
Another good joke would be to suggest that a lot more things seem to move when you're drunk *LOL*
But he is the God of Taboo so there's no telling what he'd do :P ;)
-
;D ;D ;D ;D
*now imagining roninangel fucking things that are completely inanimate that he is imagining are moving from drunken room spinniness...* ;D
thanks for the image in my head charles. :-X :'(
im sorry but when I have some good friends that are furries and the words "fucking anything that moves" are in the air... it really alludes to alot these days. damn anime cons ruining my brain. i wasn't trying to personally attack you. :( *huggles Ronin* But you gotta be more specific these days. ::)
-
no prob. :D
Like I said, I do think some anthropomorphic characters are hot, so yeah.
Anyways. Yeah. :-\
Things can be confusing in the brave new fangled world of sexual liberation that is happening. Try to hang out with transexuals, um, ever. Nothing against them but those folks are fucking confuzzling. I have a friend who didn't go by any of the gender pronouns. Eli only ever liked to be refered to in the the third person usinging Eli's name. Talk about grammatical frustration. On bad days it's enough to make me want to be intollerant just so as I don't have make sentences involving those people.
-
I like catgirls.
But oh yeah, transexuals. I knew one that was mtf, but he's was okay going by a male pronoun.
But yeah, whenever they get on my nerves I just remind them that although they have breasts and no penis, they don't have ovaries and they still have a Y chromosome.
-
Thing was, I never found out if Eli was MTF or FTM. Or... something else. I know it shouldn't matter, but for some reason it just... bugged me. I tried to ignore it, but I wanted to know I coudn't help it. So I supressed the question becuase I thought it was disrepectful to ask and I thought Eli might be mad if I said anything.
Does that make me shallow? :(
-
Don't think so Ronin, it sounds like curiosity to me.
So I got my new drum Throne today. Yay, open the box it actually has a how to use this product safely. Seriously? it's a stool, it has 3 pieces... *grumble*
-
Some people are morons. You give them trainers and they'll hang themselves with the shoelaces. And for some reason no one thinks they should be exised from the gene pool.
And this is America, where everybody is always suing everybody.
-
Pozf Does it come with any safty warnings? like only use in a well ventilated area use hard hats and goggles
-
Don't you also have special safety warnings for microwaves and washingmachines saying that you can't dry/clean your pet in it?
-
If I more evil I'd try that. :D
Seems like grusome fun. :D
Except for the animal cruely part. :(
Fucking morality. :(
-
most likely Selan
and no it doesnt odd.
-
used to dry socks and t-shirts in the microwave
-
That doesn't work....
-
my dad was always superstitious of microwaves. He always said that the radiation would be found out to be dangerous someday. But he has a cell phone and spends hours on the computer every day stock trading. :P
I LOVE microwaves. You cannot shop at the quicky mart without one.
-
I wonder if anyone has seen one of those warning labels, and then done the exact action on the label because it made them curious to see what would happen?
-
They do that kind of crap on Mythbusters all the time. :D
-
Used to use aerosol cans for target parctice for my .177 airrifle and throw battries onto bonfires
-
used to dry socks and t-shirts in the microwave
My brother uses the high powered microwave at his job *7-11* for that
and It does work Selan
The thrones stool is memory foam so I can sleep on it if I need too. I already knew this of course but I hadn't thought of using it like a pillow
-
So, I helped my older brother install linux today and move away from windows.
Now he is obsessed and asking to borrow my c++ and ruby books, and to teach him how to hack. Rushing in much?
He's currently obsessed with bodybuilding too. (actually a smart guy, but)
A bodybuilding hacker. I can't stop laughing at the idea.
-
I totally need to do that too...
the linux part, not the workout part. I'd like to keep my geek physic
But a bodybuilder hacker does put a funny image into my head. I see a total meathead 5 times the size of his computer, hunched over it. heheh
-
that's what's going on right now, as I sent him to a really basic ruby tutorial to see if he can get his feet wet. (as well as an overview of basic bash commands, jeez)
-
Bloody hackers.
You're all the bane of us poor systems administrators/engineers.
I remember getting pulled up at an airport and searched/tested for drugs once in New Zealand. Apparently the main reason was because I listed my job as in the computer industry. They said there's a lot of guys who get on the speed and amphedamines when they work as a contractor then head overseas and party like mad between jobs, taking their stash with them.
I explained to him that it's the programers who get on the drugs while they develop new applications. The Systems Administrators only drown their sorrows in the booze 'cos they're the poor bastards that have to get the crappy application working on the operating system for the users with no manual.
-
A bodybuilding hacker. I can't stop laughing at the idea.
Tom Clancy actually used that idea in one of his books in the Net force series.
But good on you for teaching him, I'll say that - to be honest, I actually admire the skill, I'm not a very good teacher.
You're all the bane of us poor systems administrators/engineers.
Heh, you'd have hated me and my friends in high school. We tried to tell the Head of IT and main sysadmin that the school's computer network had some serious security flaws, and his response boiled down to "I built and tested it all myself, that's not possible. Punk kids, what the hell do you know?" and shooed us away.
Of course, aggravated by this response, we promptly blew through every single security measure he had put in place, from the user account system all the way through to the custom programs he'd written to allow teachers to turn the internet, email and printers in any particular classroom or on individual computers on and off. Within a week, we owned the entire network top to toe, with nowhere we couldn't go and nothing we couldn't do.
He didn't believe us, till we raised the issue with him again, and then when he turned us away again, as we were going out the door, we quoted back his username, password, the last five sites he visited, and a few comments he'd left in his code that was part of the Teacher access only program for turning on and off the various student access permissions.
So, he pretty much immediately tried to have us expelled, but we basically said "Hey, come on, fair suck of the sav, let us present out case to the principal" - an idea the principal went along with, and when we explained the layman version of what we did, exactly, we got off with a month of detention(which was served working on the network, fixing the security) and the satisfaction of the principal telling the headteacher what was essentially "Wait, so you're the head of IT and the sysadmin in charge of everything, and you got your ass handed to you by three punk kids, after the whole problem could have been avoided if you'd have just listened to them in the first place - So, what are we paying you for?"
-
no prob. :D

idk if they dress like a guy they're a he if they wear a dress i usually say she. but then i know very few guys that dress as girls and they aren't very close friends just distant ones. :-\ actually I wouldn't mind getting to know them better they seem like nice people. but then I like trying to get along with everyone.
It makes me sad when I scare people away. :-\

-
aww and i thught she looked kinda cool till i read furry. :-\
-
She isn't a furry.
She's a Thundercat.
Her name is Cheetara.
I haven't seen that show in years, but I remember it being like the awsomest thing ever. It's probably best I keep thinking of it that way and not ruin it by rewaching them.
Also, I don't think your scary smiles. I think your cute as can be. AAAAAAAAAAW! Smiles! :-*
-
i did happen to know that. I used to watch thunder cats back when it was on. the words made me think of the robot chicken version is all. ::)
thanks^_^ but when I'm excited at con i tend to be a bit hyper and my hyperness frieks some peeps out.:/ :(
-
You mean your like a Genki girl?
They can be kind of annoying on anime.
But you're not a total bitch like most of them and that's my main problem with them usually.
Do you have a super high pitched voice?
Nevermind, I think your awsome. I would hang out with you! Flaws and all. :-*
-
genki girl?
lol ;D
i suppose I can be a bit anime ish sometimes. yeah my voice is loud and high. though not quite as high as the Japanese high. sometimes my sqweee hurts my own ears. :'(
^_^ *huggles you* :-*
-
To cure my meloncholy, instead of moping around the house like an emo tosser, I'm going to go out dancing with Bohemian(For those who remember him, I'll say Hi ) and having fun, before meeting with my mate Omnutia tomorrow, to hang out, shoot the shit, and start to decide if I should do something incredibly foolish - stay past the end of my ticket home.

Someone visits TvTropes. ;D
-
Say hi to him from me... Hope he remembers me ;)
-
Say hi to him from me... Hope he remembers me ;)
He does! And he also Says Hello to everyone else - he actually named quite a few, but Basically I was a bit drunk, if the name sounds familiar, he said hi, he reeled off a long list. He's doing his dissertation at the moment, and just moved into a new place, he's doing quite well.
-
Good to hear. He needs to come back here tho :-*
-
yeah it's been a really long time since he's been here. :-\
-
Good to hear. He needs to come back here tho :-*

Well, I'm trying to get him back - no hope at the moment, he's still not sorted out internet at his new apartment, not for lack of trying - But I'm trying to get him to come back and visit us.
-
P-fae doesn't seem to want to come back either :(
-
P-fae doesn't seem to want to come back either :(
I don't know much about P-fae, really. Can't help there.

Those of you on my facebook already know this but I PURCHASED A HOME ON SATURDAY!
WOOHOO! Months of searching and we finally found a place. 3bdrm, 700sqm, Outer suburbs of Brisbane City.
CHECK IT OUT HERE (http://www.realestate.com.au/cgi-bin/rsearch?a=o&id=105808728&f=0&p=10&t=res&ty=&fmt=&header=&cc=&c=56869929&s=qld&snf=rbs&tm=1247296499)

Looking forward to moving in sometime late August.
P.S. The playhouse/cubyhouse looks like it'll be way more comfy than the dog house my wife kicks me into now ;P
-
that house looks really nice charles. :) good for you! :-*
-
Thanks Smiles.
If any of you ever visit Brisbane, Australia. You've got a place ta crash :o ;D
-
NICE!!!!
I think Leana would take you up on that offer ;)
-
she's not the only one! ;D :-*
-
Thanks Smiles.
If any of you ever visit Brisbane, Australia. You've got a place ta crash :o ;D
Two places to crash - I'm probably heading home in august, so I'll be there too!
-
Nice :D....I'd love it!
-
sometime in the future we should have an aussie flipside meetup. give me a stronger reason to go to austrailia lol.
-
Or LA. :P
I hear it's crazy hot this time of year
-
We've been having April/May weather here.
-
Meetup would be fun, but flying across the atlantic is such a terrible hassle...
I'm currently turning up my geekiness to max, and watching X-men evolution! I have a major crush on Nightcrawler. Gawd. Does that make me a furry-lover?
-
Yes, yes it does.
I totally have a place in geek history because of that show!... not that anybody actually knows about it though.
-
But, but... Techically, he's not a furry, because he's a blue demon, not an animal/human thing... Right?
-
He's got fur, ---> furry :P
nothing wrong with it.
-
I dislike furries otherwise, though.
-
I bet you know a few that you like.
Or did you mean furry characters?
-
idk night crawler is my fave too.
-
I mean characters. Every time I see an artist at Deviantart drawing themselves as a cartoon-wolf with clothes, I die inside a little. Never met a person who actually considers themselves a furry, but I do find the idea very strange.
BDSM is really tame compared to walking around wanting to screw people that look like animals.
Anyway, bedtime for me. It's super-late, and I should've been sleeping hours ago.
-
Yeah i need to go to bed too... They are keeping my hostage and taking advantage of my sleepyness
-
yes we are, now stay and entertain us.
-
idk night crawler is my fave too.
http://twitter.com/_Nightcrawler (http://twitter.com/_Nightcrawler)

I got pulled into going to this tonight. Teleport over and join me, guys?

I would, but I can't skate. Any anyway, charles and I are the only ones around here with teleport powers - Australians, remember?
-
I'm on to you guys, and your einstein-rosen bridge. :P
I haven't skated for maybe 15 years. This will be interesting.
-
I dislike furries otherwise, though.
Nightcrawler is gateway furry, just like Cheetarah:
(http://www.shadowgirlscomic.com/comics/2007-11-28-slippery-slope.jpg)
-
Like I said before Akasha, I don't have a flux capacitor.
Plus I don't skate, can, but don't
-
lolz
dude girl, you mail me the teleporter and I'm sooooo there! ;D
-
They haven't developed technology that far yet in Australia *sulk*
-
I think they ship to Australia *Click* (http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/plush/9fc6/)
-
lolz but doesn't' that go back in time. it's not quite teleportation
-
yes, but if you go back in time, you take a plane(s) and make the event, it might not be teleportation. But it's close.
-
gee I wonder how old I'll be by the time I have enough to go to Australia...
-
Just do one of those work visa things.
Or find more Australian friends like me, online and arrange to just scrunge off them while you're here *LOL*
Which parts of Australia would you come to see?
-
i wanna see everything^_^ :-*
-
OK, I recommend Magnetic Island for the coast lands. Great way to see the Barrier reef from there and some lovely beach and tracks, etc.
Then try and get to Longreach for the outback experience. If you really want an outback experience, try and get to the Birdsville races.
Birdsville has a population of less than 100 for about 50 weeks of the year and then 3,000 for the other 2 *lol* It's also in driving distance of the largest sand dune in the world (fondly called "Big Red")
I recommend Brisbane's Lonepine Koala sanctuary for a decent zoo. Australia zoo is great for the kids but I reckon you'll get more of your money's worth at the sanctuary. They have heaps of Aussie animals. If you're after some history and sights, Sydney is the place to be. You get the museums and all sorts of heritage places talking of the first fleet, gold rush, Ned Kelly and many of Australia's most Historic sights. You can also climb the harbour bridge and maybe visit the Opera House for some music (It's MASSIVE). For even more country experience, I'd say get to Alice Springs as they generally have all that stuff there with Uluru and all.
Good Luck :P
-
I dislike furries otherwise, though.
Nightcrawler is gateway furry, just like Cheetarah:
D': Nuu, he's not! He doesn't even look like an animal! Point me a blue furry animal with a devil's tail!
"I need a grownuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup~!"
-
used to roller ski does that count Akashayi?

Yeah. I hate it, because, I have a comic with a few animals characters, and if I put it up on the internet everyone will be like "omg furry", even though they aren't at all.
-
It's ok when disney puts up animal characters though. ./rolls eyes
Odd.... what is roller skiing? o.O

You can also climb the harbour bridge and maybe visit the Opera House for some music (It's MASSIVE). For even more country experience, I'd say get to Alice Springs as they generally have all that stuff there with Uluru and all.
Good Luck :P
all that sounds like it'd take a whole year to see everything.
-
You mean your like a Genki girl?
They can be kind of annoying on anime.
But you're not a total bitch like most of them and that's my main problem with them usually.
Do you have a super high pitched voice?
Nevermind, I think your awsome. I would hang out with you! Flaws and all. :-*
"Genki Girl"?
Someone visits TvTropes. ;D
Yes I do indeed like that site alot. :-*
Haven't submitted yet.
But go there all the time.

@Smiles: Thats why you get over here on a one year work Visa ;D
-
Smiles I have a question, I know it's off topic, but could you indulge me?
What is your avatar holding?
Is it her own arms?
Is it a kitty?
Is it really strangly shaped boobs?
Is it something else?
I can't understand the picture.
-
It's a bunny, a plushy bunny
-
Akashayi, Roller Ski-ing is Nordic Ski-ing but with lengths of metal with wheels at both ends strapped to your feet
-
What is your avatar holding?...
Is it her own arms? no
Is it a kitty? nope
Is it really strangly shaped boobs? gawd I don't know what boobs you coud be thinking of.
Is it something else? yes
I can't understand the picture.
It's a bunny, a plushy bunny
Indeed that is the answer.
-
Dare I say an evil plush bunny?
-
One that steals dreams?
-
no such thing.
all plushy bunnies are made of huggable softness and are therefore good.
-
Unless they stick a gun in your face and demand your wallet, and keys to your car
-
I won't hold my breath waiting for that to happen.
-
... well depends what type of bunny plushy for that.
-
@CDSM: Your Avatar continues to cause us havoc and mislead us as to your true gender *LOL*

I like the new avatar, CDSM. :P

I think that.... I just wouldn't like that dog.

I think that.... I just wouldn't like that dog.
You hurt Hulkhound in his heart when you say that.
-
Erm that dog aint right, how can any one do that?
-
I just heard that my cousin has passed away, she was 21 years old and suffered from a braintumor. She battled for 1,5 years but now the decease has got to her. I won't be online for a while and i'll ask Brion to watch over the debate room for me.
-
So sorry to hear that Selan.
There is no nice way for a person you care about to pass away. But its not the start nor the finish that matter, only the time between and the legacy left behind in those graced directly and indirectly by a person’s life.
My sympathies to you and the rest of the family and friends of your cousin.
-
Erm that dog aint right, how can any one do that?
They didn't, it's got some kind of disorder.

One of my cousin's boyfriend died two years ago from some sort of blood cancer, he was 23.

-
HAHA! Good game. and you won by two items as well. I'm in for the next Jello game!
-
brilliant^_^
it was pure luck is what it was. :-*
-
Luck is pretty much all it is, although I guess those who are logged in more often would have better luck.
-
well it's gonna be fun running the next one^_^ :-*
-
I had to look after my neice and nephew :( on top of that spend three hours watching the Tour de France.
-
aww *snugs* odd you might win the next one.;) you never know.^_^ :-* I don't think I could watch biking for three hours. it would make me feel fat.
-
Isn't it amazing how you need to be young for all the fast and strong sports such as football and 100m sprints but for all the long distance endurance stuff, the older you are the better?
I think when you're young your body is like a V12 engine. Very powerful but burns the fuel fast. In your older days it becomes more like a 4 cylinder engine. Weaker power but far more fuel efficient.
-
hmm I never thought of it that way before. :-\
-
HMMMM V12 engines *DROOOLLLLL"
-
Thanks for the kind words everybody.
After this weekend i'm going away with my parents for a week, after that i'll be back full-time!
-
Take care Selan cye when ye get back 8)

Got to brew beer and hang out with a bunch of hackers, so naturally good times.

As it should have been!
Side note related to hacking - As part of leeds hackspace, I'm visiting the Old Temple Mill in Leeds soon, so that we can assess setting up a hackspace there - the world's biggest, even bigger that both Techshops put together - Two acres of indoor space.
-
rad!
there's been some effort by us to set up a hackerspace in LA but.... experiencing some delays in that process.

So far, we've been going between various places, but mostly Old broadcasting house, an old building the BBC used to produce from, but has since become space for rent.
All you really need is the people, the space itself can come later, as long as you can meet someone over the various weeks.

hackerspace? ???

Here you go, Ma'am. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackerspace (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackerspace)
-
sounds cool kinda like a convention. but smaller ;)
-
The reality is that its just a cool name they give to a LAN party to sound like you're doing or attending something important or cool ;)
-
Dunno if any ya'll heard of Repo! The Genetic Opera.
I torrented it today. It was different, but also kinda meh, like it wasn't as great as it could have been with the concept.
-
but LAN parties are fun^_^ :-*
heh genetic opera. ;D
-
Going to a starcraft LAN tomorrow night ;P
-
AWWWW I'm jealous! I used to love starcraft! *sulk*

All I'm doing tommorrow night is another refresher pool dive :-\

WOO! the Castlevania movie is back in progress! *Obviously excited*
-
wait, really? :D
-
Yes, yes really. I'm generally not a fan of video game movies, but it's Castlevania is pretty much one of my favorites.
-
well tell me what you think of Jersey Devil sometime.^_^
-
This is like the weekend of lan gaming... I'm off to go game more, think we're gonna do red alert. Tomorrow too, with our special homebrew beer. (it's so good) :D
Just thought I'd share. ./taunt tease etc
-
home brew beer? what's the hops?
-
I had a friend who brewed beer. I thought he was awsome! But I don't like beer, so I wouldn't ever do it. But having a Do It Yourself hobby is fucking awsome in my opinion.
-
One of my uncles used to make home brew beer until the kit exploded almost wiped out the garage lol
-
sounds like fun :-* i have some friends in Wisconsin that brew their own beer too. and a couple in Michigan that are making some meade
-
Think my uncle who made the beer also tried distilling whisky as well :-\
-
now that i don't know anyone personally that is making whiskey.
-
... My brother just brought me home a slurpee for no reason... I'm actually just a little bit freaked out.
And now he's being conversational, seriously this is weird.
-
dang pozf maybe he's noticed your depression.
-
... Wonderful... I'm getting pity from my brother... I must be really bad.
-
maybe you need some alone time with your GF
-
I don't have a Girl friend.
Hell I don't even a friend.
-
:'( but you have lots of friends here. including me.
-
don't worry smiles, he's just being emo. ;)
-
Err, don't take it the wrong way, I enjoy talking to all of you, but I would not call you friends. Online friends I guess, but... wow I sound like a total dick right now... It's difficult to explain...
Depressed does not equal emo I know you were joking but still.
-
How about, "Friends you haven't met yet?" that has a nice friendly friend feel to it.
-
Nah, I totally get it Pozf.
You haven't exactly met any of us. You don't know us personally, and you can't exactly call on us to help you move bodies in the middle of the night.
Though, you know, if you ever need help with causing dead bodies.... :P
-
liek i'm always saying we should have a flipside meet-up sometime.
-

Oh my little depressed emo button! :P
But seriously some of us suffer from depression, so I don't think that you need to explain the difference. I just meant that when a person says that they haven't got any friends in a room full of people that like them, it often comes off as a not so subtile grab for attention. I like you so it's okay. and I think of you as a freind Pozf even if the feeling isn't resiprocated. God knows you wouldn't be the first. ::)
AND THAT goes for the rest of you in internets land! You are my freinds! Even if I am deluded for saying that! :-[

-
I'll supply the Napalm Pozf if and when you need it dont use acid it still leaves traces
-
;D i always say if I win the lottery...(which 'll be never) I'd have the hugest party ever and pay for all my internet friends to fly in for it and everything. ;)
yeah depression really bites. i'm glad I broke free of mine a long time ago.
-
There has got be a few of us in here for a European meet at least?
-
oh my, can't stop giggling at this robot chicken rendition of castlevania: http://kotaku.com/5330169/robot-chicken-does-castlevania
-
Well, for a European meet-up, doesn't leana live in the BeNeLux area? in that case I'd say her place or mine would be best geographically, and at the moment, my place would be better due to a weak national currency.
-
I really miss watching Robot Chicken...
-
*groan*
Last couple of weeks have been hectic. Had to put up with the bank stuffing up my loan application 3 times, trying to pack while keeping the place neat and tidy for the landlady to show new tenants through, Going down to Sydney for my Granny's 80th and meeting a whole load of other relatives and just crud everywhere... But in all that I somehow found the time to read 56 chapters of the manga AIKI... Now I'm finding myself reading all the webcomics backwards *lol* Its a pain, 'cos I read the panels on the right without understanding them, switch to the left one but then the next one is spoiled 'cos I've already read it *sulk*
-
I have had a hell of a week. Gary and I have been fighting. But we had a "discussion" and now things are better. But fuck, my week sucked. :(
-
Sorry to hear that Ronin,
-
Well when someone gets a diagnosis from that their colesterol is too high and they'll have to change their lifestyle or be at risk for diabeties or heart attack or stroke, shit can get intense. He thought that I wasn't being supportive enough of his new diet and I thought he was stressing me out. Fortunently, we got better.
-
aww huggles all around! :-*
-
So my the airline my mom was on fucked her and her friends over. So they each got 8 round trip tickets *transferable* for free. I can go places!... kinda exciting, I might go to a lan party one of the guys from CSS holds every year.
-
too bad con season in LA is over.
-
Yea... the tickets would have been way better a couple of months ago.
-
Do the tickets have an expiration? Come to LA anyway.
Clearly, the best option for a flipside meetup. I'll even supply the jello.
-
Only if you can offer me a place to crash while I'm there ;)
The tickets are good for a year, didn't get to talk about it with her *mother* much as she was in a bitchy mood and has work in the morning. So I'm not sure if she meant year as in till January or till next August. I'm assuming it's the latter.
-
If they're good til next year, come down for e3 ;P
-
That was actually my first thought, but that was quickly followed by, that's quite a while away. Dunno I'll see if I can reserve one or two just for me.
Edit: apparently they're good for 12 months, told her that I might go out west for E3. Shame that Anime expo isn't closer to it.
-
i would love to go to anime expo sometime. but i can't afford it this year with the five cons in the agenda.
-
Fuck, it would be nice to have any money at all.
I am so sick of being poor that I would even consiter -gasp- getting a job at this point.
-
yeah i kinda just go for the friend crowd to half the cons i go to. not spending alot of money and such. ::) just enough for gas and food. and sometimes not even food, if i can get a friend to buy me something to eat. ;D
-
Well, for a European meet-up, doesn't leana live in the BeNeLux area? in that case I'd say her place or mine would be best geographically, and at the moment, my place would be better due to a weak national currency.
I'd be up for an Euro-meet, but if we have it at your place, -everyone- else is going to have to go to the bank and change their money! :D Why won't you damn people drop the crown already?
-
Why don't we have the Euromeet in Toronto? We're like honorary Europeans up there. :P
-
lol no Toronto's not the same at all. and I'd have to get a passport to go there.
-
I didn't need a passport the last time I went to Toronto, but then again that was back in 1996. Although, I went to Niagra Falls a couple of years ago, and didn't need a passport. I think they changed the rules very recently, then.

Well, because we don't want to, and besides, most places here take cards anyway so no bank visits needed :P
-
Dont need money over there, just stooge off Emp and raid his fridge :P
-
You know if I visited any of you, I would expect you to pay for everything becuase I am a cheap bastard. :P
-
Thats ok then cos you will get the guest quaters Ronnin..............it's called a tent in the back garden,
-
Ronin, Odd, my fridge is almost always empty
-
Oh come on chief you have to get a few beers in if we are going to crash at your pad 8) :P
-
No alcohol in this flat, at least none above 2.25% ciders
But I was just out shopping groceries, so now there are plenty of eggs, some bacon, some chicken breast filéts, 2/3 of a hare, and plenty of meat balls :P
-
That will do me.......dont know about the others though :P
-
In the world of Pokemon, there are hundreds of Pokemon to fit into every category imaginable.
People live happy, happy lives all over, with their Pokemon.
There are no other animals besides Pokemon in the world of Pokemon.
As has been seen in multiple Pokemon related media, People in the world of Pokemon still eat meat.
You mind is now blown.
-
What? Well, there had to be a reason there were pokemon farms XD
-
I wonder which pokemon makes the best burger?
-
There's only one way to find out.
Gotta collect em all
-
Gotta NOM em all
Fix'd
-
mmm.
I'm actually getting pretty hungry. o.O
-
I wonder what Jigglypuff tastes like ???. Hopefully cotton candy :D.
-
Rubber I would assume, Jigglypuff is a balloon.
Now Kirby on the other hand... is either marshmallow or cotton candy
-
Maybe he/she's one of those marshmallow can ythings people buy on Easter... um...
Peeps, yeah. Kirby's a Peep.
In da 'hood.
-
I didn't need a passport the last time I went to Toronto, but then again that was back in 1996. Although, I went to Niagra Falls a couple of years ago, and didn't need a passport. I think they changed the rules very recently, then.
yeah as of the end of the summer of 2007 they made it whenever you go across to Canada you have to have a passport. even if it's just for Niagara falls. ::) :-\
-
Ok have a question for you all.................WHAT THE HELL IS POKEMON!?!?!?!?!?!? ??? :-\
-
What isn't Pokemon?
-
You tube? -Search pokemon- = answer?
-
these are pokemon: pokemon (http://www.upokecenter.com/dex/?view=pictures)
-
Oddballdoesn'tknowaboutPokemon? :o :-X
-
yeah they're kinda a popular subject. like everywhere. i mean mudkips is mentioned in most chat rooms if no where else.
-
no i dont, is that a crime?
-
well no it's just weird.
-
Hence my nick name<<<<<<<
-
i suppose but it make me sad that you haven't known the amazing world of pokemon.
-
There's a lot of stuff like that I dont know about, lived most of my life up in the boondocks chasing Haggis
-
oh? how'd that turn out?
-
Oh its going great but with the down turn going on business has been slow.
-
yeah i can see that being possible.
-
And been banned exporting to America.
-
really? no more haggis for America?
-
Not from me anyway
-
bummer i bet you make it yummy.
-
Oh no these are not made I catch the three legged blighters fresh off the hills.
-
mmm everything is always better fresh ;) ;D :-*
-
Oooooh fresh!
[teasing smack!/] :P
-
;D
no okay odd coincidence: on the way to the party there was a big sign that said "fresh Produce"
first glance i read "fresh poodles"
I'm glad I reread the sign. ;D
-
There you go Emp's sacrafices.......Fresh Poodles lol
-
"Where's my poodle?!? This fruit won't fill me up!"
-
Sacrificing canines to me will most decidedly motivate me to visit most excruciating retribution on anyone foolish enough to bring such despicable offerings.
-
Hmm cant say take it or leave it cos he will leave it and try and track me down.
-
Yeah, I am against dog meat on account of princeable. Also, I bet dog meat would taste nasty. But if I was hungry enough, all bets are off.
-
To me, just about any land animal is potential food, along with some naval animals and most birds.
And a specific selection of green stuff.
Other humans are not excluded as long as they have led a reasonably healthy life without using poisonous substances (eg, plant-based and/or synthetic drugs that accumulates in one's body)
-
SOYLANT GREEN IS PEOPLE!
-
Thats me out have a heart mumour, dry rot on my metal knee and rust on my wooden knee :P
-
I had a heart murmur too.
Now I just have a scar.
I think the scar is way better.
-
SOYLANT GREEN IS PEOPLE!
why yes yes it is. ;D
-
some naval animals
So are those the little dogs you find in paratroopers' pockets or the parrots pirates used to have on their shoulders?
-
I bet parrot would be tasty!
But you know what bird I want to try? Peacock. I read somewhere it was delicious!
-
There was once a Parachute regiment chicken that dropped with the 6th British Airborne divison in ww2. (thats my useless fact)
-
Was that the old dude from Chicken Run?
-
NO!!! The old bloke in chicken run was meant to of been a mascot in the R.A.F
-
What's the difference? :-\
-
Parachute Regiment ARMY R.A.F Royal Air Force diffrent armed forces.
-
kind of like how we have the Air Force, but we also have navy piolets in the US?
-
some thing like that.
-
That's cool. :D
So I was thinking, I couldn't imagine any bird not having tasy meat. Even pidgeon or seagul or crow could probably taste good if it was prepared right. Maybe it's just cause birds don't have the same kind of "that is off limits for eating" baggage that alot of mammals do. I wonder why that is? :-\
-
alligator is yummy. :-*
i was a little unnerved when I got the Chewy card in apples to apples. i rather not think of myself as chewy. but then i put in babies are chewy so i spose yeah it's my own fault. ;D
-
What?
:'(
Can you tell me how you play that game? I haven't got to play it yet.
-
Apples to apples?
it's awesome. everybody gets a hand of 7 or so cards, *might be 5?* that contain anything from people, to movies, to rolling the car. the group decides who has control of the first round. The person in control of the round flips a different set of cards which are adjectives, such as dangerous, gloomy, happy etc...
Each Other player gives the person in control of the round 1 card that they think will win them the round*anon*, after the person in control has all the cards he/she looks at them. then draw a card from the main deck. the person who wins the round gets control of the next and 1 point. You win by reaching the set point limit, or do it the long way and just go through all of the green cards and count up the winner at the end.
it can be really boring if you play it the way it's suppose to be played by trying to get the best fitting card.
BUT if you play it the way me and my cousins play it. it's fucking hilarious. For example one of the biggest laughs was the card Manly, the cards given to my cousin *who had control* were Schindler's list, girl scouts, rolling the car, and doughnuts. It was a close race between doughnuts and girl scouts, but the girlscouts won...
It doesn't seem that funny, but if you were there you would have been laughing your ass off.
-
(I love apples to apples.)
Also, I ended up without internet access all weekend. AAAH. I'll start up the jello thread tomorrow but I am so going to bed. >.>
-
actually in my rules set it ahs judging the opposite as a way to play. personally it fun when someone just picks the funniest card in the lot. like i know soemone that if yo have earwigs and sexy comes up they'd pick earwigs everytime. thier deck has a "your mom" and a "chuck norris" card. adn both of us made a jesus card ;D
-
some naval animals
So are those the little dogs you find in paratroopers' pockets or the parrots pirates used to have on their shoulders?
Naw, those are what I would feed my cats ;D If I had any :(
The naval animals I eat are mainly prawns, but also lobsters and a select few spicies of fish.
-
have yo ever eaten rabbit?
-
No, but I have 2/3 of a hare in my freezer that I haven't gotten around to cook yet.
-
it's really good if you get a chance. it's been a while since i've had it though.
-
I'd need someone else to visit if I'm going to cook it. Care to visit? All of you who can are wellcome
-
I agree that rabit is quite nice. You know what's better? Lamb! You know what's better then that? DUCK!
DUCK IS THE TASTEIST MEAT EVER! YUM! :-*
-
I disagree, sheep most often just tastes like greasy wool, because most butchers today don't know how to prepare that meat properly.
Haven't tasted duck though. But my favourite is pork all the way.
-
idk i like lamb but i think rabbit is richer in flavor. duck is amazing!

Never had that problem. I had a wonderful lamb shoulder just last week and the only problem I had was that it was done too quickly (there was alot of bone and fat and little meat; the meat there was was fantastic, just not enough.) And if you haven't tried duck, you need to before you die: there's a reason why the best hotdog place in Chigcago cooks all of it's french fries in duck fat; duck fat is proof that God exsists. :D
-
It helps having a dad who was a butcher then was a meat inspector with the government, you get some good cuts off beef or mutton.
-
That's bitchen'. My dad was a carpender. You can't eat a peice of wood. :(
-
Mine was a coastal artillery officer... you only bite a 15.2cm shell once.
-
My dad was a veterinary technician ... quite the opposite of a butcher ;).
-
So it would be weird if he brought a steak home from work, huh! :P
LOLS!
-
Dont know if I told you lot this one before, One day an old work mate of mine came round to pick up a car radio, my dad answered the door in a white pair of overalls covered in blood and holding his big butcher's hacksaw, later as we went past the kitchen we saw my dad hacking away at a lump of meat (it was a deer carcas) on the kitchen table...............my friend never came back after that :(
-
I laughed my ass off!
-
I did too XD
-
Thats going into the THREAD OF BADASS ;D

I had a similar problem when I showed a friend of mine my electronics workbench back home - she stared at it for a while, and said "Is that a tiny operating table?" and I said "Yeah, It's the sort of table they use for operating on infants, but it's an old model, It came from when they redid the surgical suite in the local kids hospital."
"How can you use that!"
"Well, they washed and sterilized it before they gave it to me, and I did the same when I got home, so I figure it's fine. What, it's just a table."
"Children have died on that table!"
"That's hardly the table's fault."
-
actually in my rules set it ahs judging the opposite as a way to play. personally it fun when someone just picks the funniest card in the lot. like i know soemone that if yo have earwigs and sexy comes up they'd pick earwigs everytime. thier deck has a "your mom" and a "chuck norris" card. adn both of us made a jesus card ;D
Blank cards are awesome, my cousin made 4chan a card... I believe it won sensitive once.
4chan.. sensitive? talk about opposites ::)
-
Hahaha, I have just a workbench that was made to be a workbench, and my old computer desk forming a little evil mad electronics lab corner. Not as cool as a tiny operating table :P
In other news, I just got back from the doctors, where I was turned into a blood farm! Egyah, tell them to stay away from my blood.. It's bad when the nurse starts telling you to help squeeze your arm to get the blood out.
-
You know what sucks, when you have crappy veins and you get a nurse or doctor instead of a real phelbotemist. I have rolling viens and I have had lengthy torture sessions in hospitals where doctors and nurses tried "just one more time." Did I mention I'm afriad of needles?
-
I'm lucky, my doctors always tell me if I ever want to do drugs I'll have an easy time finding a vein... Doctors tell me this, when there's no distension of the vein, I can still find the vein they draw blood from.
-
Your lucky.
It took me a long time before I got used to getting stabbed at the plasma center, and those folks do that for a living.
-
Hahaha, I have just a workbench that was made to be a workbench, and my old computer desk forming a little evil mad electronics lab corner. Not as cool as a tiny operating table :P
A normal bench is what I had for a while, but I liked the tiny operating table. It's very stable, but easy enough to move, and it's also got a very handy ratchet lift using a foot pedal, and rotates when I need it to, plus it provides ample space to work but is too small to get too cluttered, and last of all, it's a perfectly flat and smooth surface.
-
Sounds about perfect Churba
-
my veins are pretty easy to find. i've given blood a couple times and not had a problem. i think it has alot to do with the nurse that is sticking the needle in you.
-
I'm pretty anemic, was the thing. xP
-
Eat more steak. Steak has iron, Iron is good for anemics, and you can be a sexy girl eating steak. Witch is awsome.
-
Oh, I eat lots and lots of steak, trust me ;P
Meat settles my stomach! I'm korean, that's how it works.
Iron really isn't the problem.
-
mmm steak. i had that for lunch.
hehe loving the Jello outfits akashayi ;) ;D
-
*grumbles* still not in combats soon as I get changed they are taken away again * more grumbling*
-
Oh, I eat lots and lots of steak, trust me ;P
Meat settles my stomach! I'm korean, that's how it works.
Iron really isn't the problem.
Like it makes you less queasy? I don't get it. :-\
@Smiles: What's a jelly outfit?
-
no jello as in jello strip twister. :P
-
^ EvIl game should be banned *grumble*
-
I gave up on it, mostly becuase I can only afford to put a couple pictures a month online, and there is no way for me to win that game.
-
I think only 1 or two people have actually put pictures up after they lost, that rule has been buried pretty much.
-
Yeah. Swapping photo challenges in the sex thread is way more fun and realistic, anyway. ;P
-
I figured it wasn't worth throwing photos up here after the ones I put up in the Sex Thread. You've all seen my smurfette underware anyway.
-
Yeah. Swapping photo challenges in the sex thread is way more fun and realistic, anyway. ;P
I completely forgot you guys were doing that... What happened? It was kind of entertaining...
-
*shrug* I think we'd covered each other on everything... Why, did Akashayi put up a new photo while I was away with the Swine Flu?
-
No, but that's what I mean. And Migraines are no excuse for not keeping the sexy thread sexy Akasha.
-
The blasted Flue made me waste away. Now I've got these scrawny limbs and my gut so if you thought the photos were bad before, any new ones will really look horrific.
Hey! Did Akashayi get her server back up?
-
No, it's kind of a mixture between being utterly broke and lazy. Charles, did the flu make you look like a sysadmin should?(tease) ;P
The sexy thread has been in some serious need of sexy though. Kind of been uninspired lately, something must seriously be wrong with me. Quick Charles, post some crazy ass naked picture on the thread! I'll grab the charger for my better camera. And shouldn't you catch up with us, Pozf?
-
I'll see what I can get together tonight, but I might get lazy sorry.
-
Don't apologize yet, just go take some pictures! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v490/akashayi/icon_whip.gif)
-
ok if i get time on my own might try your photo in the bath. depends on what I'm doing this weekend
-
And I had hoped to get some pictures up, but alas, that's dependant on an improvement in Akashas' economy and a spurt of energy :/
-
And shouldn't you catch up with us, Pozf?
No no no, I don't do the sexy, remember?
Plus I am very self conscious about my body
-
I am very self conscious about my body
It's sort of understandable to be somewhat shy about your body when you have an absolutely massive penis.
The sort that makes other men cry in their sleep.
.
.
.
I'm sorry! Why do I do this? It's really funny in my own head I swear it is!
Yeah somewhat beery tonight, sorry... ::)
-

If no one's going to reply to this, I'll do it myself:
"Remenicient of a sleeping manatee when limp..."
-
I... wa... O.o What the...
How would I possibly hide that?! O.O
-
By taking all the pictures that you post in the forum ONLY FROM THE WAIST UP OR FROM BEHIND@@@!!!
Ok yeah, I'm going to bed now...it's just a smart move at this point.
Good night you humongous bastard.
-
naps are fucking awsome. I'm just sayin'.
-
@UIS: Still wouldn't work if it's so big that he wraps it round and flops it over his shoulder. That the secret about hunchbacks. Thats just their penis slung over their shoulder and they're bent over from constantly carrying the heavy weight.
AND SORRY MISTRESS AKASHAYI! I got lazy. I'll try and find the time again tonight.
-
well i took some pictures and I should have them by the end of next week. :-*
I'm currently wearing a white t-shirt. and white undies and white socks :P
-
Dang it Charles, do it better. I was at the doctor today, and need more sexy to power the sex goddess! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v490/akashayi/icon_whip.gif)
Also, how the hell did I not notice when my post count hit...and passed up 1337? I'm a bad geek.
-
Hang your head in shame Akashayi! you have lost your Mistress status
-
well i took some pictures and I should have them by the end of next week. :-*
I'm currently wearing a white t-shirt. and white undies and white socks :P
Will you be wearing that in any of your pictures ;)?
-
More naked is more better! :D
-
You should paint yourself blue.
-
I would totally paint my self blue! than I could be a girl smurf and smurfette could have someone to compare too. ;D
-
You should paint yourself blue.
HAPPY HAPPY CULTIST! BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF HIM!
-
:'( what does painting yourself blue have to do with cults?
-
I demand that everybody here download an SNES emulator and play Earthbound.
Nobody ever gets the references.
In the game there is a cult in one of the town that pains EVERYTHING blue *including the cow*, and chant blue blue blue blue.
-
.... :o oh crap i would join a cult that went around chanting blue blue blue blue! ;D ROFLs!
-
1 it's an evil cult,
B a boy with a baseball bat and psychic powers would have to then kick your ass >.>;
-
naps are fucking awsome. I'm just sayin'.
It was the middle of the night for me. I'm exactly 12 hours off of the U.S. East Coast now. So whatever time it is EST, it's the same time here but flip it. And I'm ahead datewise. So if it's 11pm EST on Monday the 17th, it's 11am over here on Tuesday the 18th.
Sorry Europeans I don't know how far off of you guys I am and am too lazy to check.
But somewhat similar to Charles' time I would think. Couple hours' difference probably.
Australian Meetup!!! (j/k)
-
i would open the non- evil sect ;D
-
You're 6 to 7 hours ahead of our European friends, Maybe 5, but I don't think anybody is that far east.
-
So, is there a thread for newbs to say hi to the community? I couldn't find it, so maybe I'll just do so in this one
-
Sure there is, i think its in the flipside discussion area
Edit, i mean the free talk area.. The flipside member roster
-
Ecstatic, Diablo III site updated today with Monk and something else I haven't looked at yet !
-
or maybe I'd be swayed by the cookies?
-
I thought it was just the monk class that was added. Still, rock. Now, to continue the eternal wait.
I'm super happy that the wizards look awesome, since that's pretty much guaranteed to be my first and main class. :P
-
I think I have to go with monk, he uses mirror slash *at least I think it's mirror slash*, pummel, and he looks like a jedi reflecting lasers with impenetrable defense.
Not to mention it looked like in the game play video that you could combine the different stages of the moves. I.E. start with crippling wave, then 2nd stage of way of the hundred fists *pummel :P * then finish with exploding palm. Although the moves did look relatively slow.
-
Heh. I think the wizard's teleport will be plenty of fun. >.>
ninjamage!
-
I don't think it's gonna be nearly as useful though, the casting animation will prevent spammage I think. Even with faster cast rate. *assuming that it's still a mechanic.*
-
When a freind of mine started playing an online M.M.O a while back, he said he played a female monk, and I was like "A female monk? That's a nun!", And he was like "Not that kind of monk!" :P Anyway it's cool they're finally coming out with a new Diablo game. Lots of folks will love fighting and challenging each other online. And the rest of us can look forward to fun times just blowing shit up at home.
I just want to play a 3.5 D&D game with a group that doesn't suck though. I really miss it and hate the new edition of the game. Oh well, I'll just have to occupy my time with other things until the next edition comes out. :-\
-
Diablo PvP was junk, it boiled down to Imma sorc rawr.
-
Man, this is making miss Mythos again T-T
-
mythos? ???
-
wizards look awesome, since that's pretty much guaranteed to be my first and main class. :P
This. I'm loving the skill layout so far with them
also anyone else waiting for SC2? Can't wait to school people who mess with the swarm XD

Same here. Cept, I don't anybody else that likes D&D. I looked at some online stuff, but I don't like rping with people I don't "know" (meaning, haven't met on a forum or something outside the rp site).
-
i wish i could play D&D i've never gotten a chance. :(
-
It's fun if you have a good group. the people I play(ed) with we never really played, it was all about the math and monsters, no RP, or Story line or anything. It kinda sucked.
-

See, when I play, I like to cut down the math as much as possible and come up with rules on the fly to adjudicate any maneuver beyond "simply try to hit it".
-
i'd prolly quit if it was nothing but math. i hate messing with the odds.
... or the evens even. ::) i'm allergics to math. ;D
-
So I've begun to wonder...
Why do Bloody Mary's scars remain after she regenerates?
-
I would assume because they were made before she such the ability to regenerate.
-
xP
Sick kashi is sick...
-
Quick somebody get a new box!...
Sorry, didn't know I was internet contagious.
-
Nah, it was all those secret backrubs.
-
Hey, you might but sick, but weren't they worth it?
-
Oh man, weren't they ever ;)
-
;)
So fever and that whole deal?
-
Dam you Pozf...........I'm ill now!!
-
BWHAHAHAHAHAH, I AM A BIOLOGICAL WEAPON! I HAVE BECOME OLD SNAKE! *cough hack cough cough*
-
Where is Emp and his Molotov Cocktails when you need him?
-
psh, fire cannot stop me.
-
Ok where is my fire hose?
-
fire pretty! :-*
-
different kind of sick, actually xP
-
Insane sick?
-
Hahaha, well, I wouldn't call that 'sick' or anything out of the norm.
-
Don't be sick Akasha!
not the bad kind anyway
-
O.o yes lets all just be happy twisted minds together! :-*
-
^Well no problems there then ;D ;D
-
the crazier, the better. Especially if they're really smart.
-
yaya smart crazy people!
that's how A-team always won. ^_^
-
Aye they always seemed to be able to make a M4 Sherman tank out of a few packing crates...........great stuff ;D ;D
-
exactly
-
And McGyver was even better since he was on his own 8) ;D
-
heh they both could always make the impossible seem possible.
-
Huzzah, we're on fire!(again)
-
soon there won't be anything left to burn.
Are you on the outskirts of Mordor again?
-
it smells like camping and I don't have any marshmellows!
-
Oh no!
you should probably go get some and get to roastin.
-
So I decided, that, if I meet a cute girl who is a Legend of Zelda fan, I'm going to show her this picture:
(http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc199/CrystalDragonSpaceMarine/ilikelikeyou.png?t=1251783242)
-
Back in high school I suggested somebody draw a picture like that to give to somebody she liked.
And here I thought I was being original...
Definitely a good nerd move.

i just got asked if I wanted to model on myspace. ::)
-

-
Model....on myspace?
,':o
-
yes i thought it was bizarre.
-
Aye that is a bit strange
-
crazy people i don't know trying to make me a model on myspace. :'(
-
Could be one of us in disguise....
-
not me... I don't have a myspace.
-
You promised you would never say Smiles :o (bad joke time)
-
Has to be really..
Good ones arent allowed on these forums
-
I dunno how you came across that, but it was awesome.
A thread on another forum looking for the "creepiest portrayal of Satan".

Hi you all!
Cristal Dragon: What does the zelda icon mean I read: "I hole you" :'(.
Does it mean "I stump you,"? Becuase I sure stumps me. :-\
-
no that thing is a like like
so it reads
I
Like Like
You
-
Thank you. That makes a lot more sense.
But I think it would have been cooler if cdsm got to tell me it himself. Now you've spoiled the surprise. :-\
-
Surprise? What surprise? It's not like he was gonna make you guess
On an unrelated note, out playing magic and I'm having an Asthma attack.
-
Wait! What? :-\
How can you be canoodleing with us while simaltaniously having an asthma attack in The Real World (TM)?
Hey WOW! Are you Multipal Man? :D
-
Hi you all!
Cristal Dragon: What does the zelda icon mean I read: "I hole you" :'(.
Does it mean "I stump you,"? Becuase I sure stumps me. :-\
See...the fact that you didn't get it means you aren't a Zelda fanboy.
But yeah, what Pozf said.
And of course things are always cooler when I tell them to people! Who the hell do you think I am?
-
If the girl responds positively, I do believe I'll follow up with this:
(http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc199/CrystalDragonSpaceMarine/mayikeeseyou.png)
-
Ha
nice.
-
Ok I got: May I suck all your blood from you ( and Am not a Zelda fan).
-
no
the bat is called a keese
-
May I Keese you? ??? Nah that makes no sense at all prefer my version :P
-
it sounds like kiss if you replace the 'i' sound with an e sound.
Zelda fans appreciate >.>;
-
nah go with my version
-
sure... if you're a vampire maybe...
-
See there you go, you know it makes sense ;D
-
Did someone say BLOOD?!!?!?!?
-
You promised you would never say Smiles :o (bad joke time)
never say what?
-
Bad joke about some one asking you to model on MySpace
-
oh. well i thought it was interesting that it happened right after i posted all my naked pics int he sex thread.<.<;
-
Honest folks it was not me!!!!
-
...Is it just me or is it really really quiet in here lately?
-
Nah, it's super quiet right now. :P

-
I agree, but I can't be blamed. I have like 3 gigs worth of D&D stuff I'm trying to look through. Annnd I didn't have internets all morning.

I can't even get past the first few screens.
-
i got married.... so what have you guys done with your life
-
Joined the home guard, went to my girlfriend's graduation ball and graduation and got reconsiled with her mother.
-
Congrats Toyota, nothing like that just getting ready for my graduation in the next few weeks.

-
Ah but this time I'll do it with feeling and conviction 8)
-
i got married.... so what have you guys done with your life
Congratulations.
I've been torturing my sensibilities with ridiculously difficult platformers.
-
Watching movies, shopping for new clothes, studying for school ... nothing too exciting. However, the Purdue Boilermakers football team won its first game this past weekend, which was good.
-
Toyota? *blinks*
Congrats man. Good catch?
-
Well folks its been confirmed, I'm going my hair is turning white, forget grey I have gone straight to white.
-

Not baught into the patriarchal crap that says that a relationship whith is only valid when the State says it is. [phycho overreaction./]
Hello! How is everyone! Been gone for a few days! :D

Ch, Marriage is COVENANT before the LORD! A Relationship is only Valid is HE bears witness over the VOWS OF UNION.
AAAAMEEENN!!!
-
i got married.... so what have you guys done with your life
Congratulations! I nearly did, but I managed to escape. You'd never guess who, either. [insert collective groaning from the rest of the forum who have heard all this before a hundred different times.]
-
Nice! *huggles toyota* congrats! :-* awesomeness to see you back ^_^
-
I just realized that Zombie movies suck.
So what if it's the whole concepts of a horde of primal fear monstrous human beings that want to hunt you down and eat you? They're retards.
I'd rather watch a movie with a horde of Hannibal Lecter clones all trying to eat the heroes, and the clones would all be weaving complex plots against each other and manipulating people.
-
I think you just stumbled across the most amazing movie plot ever...
-
;D lol
the theme would be "will you be alive long enough to see it?"
-
I think you just stumbled across the most amazing movie plot ever...
I know, right? I've been on a roll lately.
-
Yeah.
But the survivors in those movies are usually just normal folks.
Have you seen silence of the lambs? [retorical question just for infasis/] :-\
Seeing as what Hannibal Lector can do to two highly trained prison gaurds with just what he has lying around his cell, even semi competent people facing a horde of Hannibal clones would be steak tar tar in like, 7 minutes. Then the movie would be over. And I wouldn't want to pay $9 for a seven minute movie. :-\
-
Yeah.

That's why you have all the Hannibals plotting against each other.
-
With this post I promote myself.
-
I think I'm going to send death threats to my superiors until they send my theatre a copy of "9".
-
lol i wanna see that too. it came out yesterday didn't it?
-
lol i wanna see that too. it came out yesterday didn't it?
Yeah. Usually we don't get movies til friday but...we're getting movies that already came out and we didn't get in the first place, like Time Traveler's Wife. ::) Hopefully we'll be getting it maybe next week, but i doubt it.'
Hell, not even the next town over has it. I'm sure as hell not driving all the way to Lakeville for this. Jeez, y'know, there are no good movie theatres around here.
-
just think of the places that only show two movies at a time ::)
-
./stumbles into forum and collapses
Jeez, things have crazy making here. Also, we're still on fire o.O;
-
*Throws water on Akasha* Did that help?
-
No, and now I need to remove all my clothes, punk. :P
-
Well something good came out of it then
-
Indeed :P
-
YAY!!!! Nekkie Mistress Akasahyi!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
just think of the places that only show two movies at a time ::)
Yeah, we've got on of those in a "mall" near campus. Which consists of the theatre, a cd store, and a several buildings that don't connect to the inside, just the outside, but are still part of the same building.
-
1. What's all this 9 business?
2. Inglorious Basterds was really good (only new movie I've seen this year I think)
Post pics Akasha!!! The only nekkie pictures we've seen of you were "old" ones, probably originally posted in some other forum years ago. Why do we have to settle for secondhand nakedness!? :( We want new and fresh material!!
-
she posted a couple a few weeks back then got sick
And 9 is a movie that came out the other day that looks fairly good.
-
Anyone actually know what it's about, beyond a group of 9 somethings who fight a bunch of other somethings?
-
I'm pretty sure it's a post apocalyptic thing, and they're fighting the other somethings to save the rest of the world.
Or something like that.
-
It's a post-apocalyptic story about after all of humanity...and life...dies off.
-
sounds depressing.
-
Actually, not so much. I enjoyed it.
-
G'day guys.
Only last month I was celebrating my Granny's 80th birthday with her and now I've just heard she's gone into hospital in a serious condition.
Keep her in your prayers or well wishes for me guys.
I'm off to the airport and NZ now for two weeks.
Cheers,
Charles
-
my thoughts are wi you Charles
from a very sun burnt Odd 8)

I hope your Grandma gets well soon. My grandfather hasn't been in the best of shape lately, either, and even had to call an ambulance while I was up there at the end of August. But he's doing better now.

thinking good thoughts for you, Charles.
-
I praise and curse your name Oddball.
Just on a whim I took his advice and went out into the forest that surround my parent's house. Took some pictures, free climbed a little, and even played my flute over looking an old granite quarry. All in the rain no less. It was awesome.
Today, my legs feel like their on fire, thank you Odd.
That burning? That's just weakness leaving the body. :P
-
wait so you have fun forest piccies for us to see keaoden?
-
okay cant wait to see them^_^
-
I'll share them once I get them resized so they'll fit.
My secret - I upload them to flickr or facebook, and they automatically get resized.
-
So I've been reading up on the Crazy McCrazies that believe they're, like, anime characters and what not.
Makes me feel awkward about my (tongue-in-cheek) claims that I follow the four Chaos gods from Warhammer 40k.
-
Oh that's great I get blamed for everything....even when I'm not here!! I deny giving out any advice, I deny even being here, I deny this place exists, I deny everything!! :'( :-\
-
who's blaming you for what now? :'(

I deny everything!!

denial is only the second phase.

Phases?
Does the third phase... involve lasers?
-
omg, you guys, I have a blog now!
I don't know what it'll be about though!
-
Does the third phase... involve lasers?
It's pronounced "LAZOR!". Yes, the exclamation mark is part of the word.
-
WHOOA BLACK BETTY, BAMALAM!!!
Man, I feel so great right now!!
-
what has you in this fab mood and can i have some?
-
what has you in this fab mood and can i have some?
Lack of sleep, bipolar, and the last three hours listening to Meat Loaf and Tori Amos.
Still want some?
-
heh i think i'll take my happy joy from breathing like i usually do. besides its always good when I have a day off ^_^ :-*
i got alot to do tomorrow. :-\ ::)

Meat Loaf and Tori Amos......
so the only thing girlier than CDSM's internet personality is his taste in music
Meat Loaf and Tori Amos....seriously.
Wow I don't feel well right now. *walks away shaking head and muttering "meat loaf and tori amos" repeatedly, occasionally interspersed with "really!??"*
edit: oh and sorry to hear about your grandma Charles. Good wishes to her, you, and your family.
edit2: *ensures that the thread contains good music* (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsQPO4pSilk)
edit3: and...yes that's right the live version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZGmoysKQMI&feature=related) - because you definitely need it.

Hey, I'll have you know that I also listen to soundtrack from Rent!
Seriously, though, usually I'm rocking out to Manowar or Rammstein.
Besides, Tori Amos is fucking hot.
-
Speaking of Rammstein, I intend to get tickets for their concert on the 20th of february in Stockholm :)
-
if only i could watch anything in flash on this compy.

You know what I love about you guys?
You're all so much nicer than the people in the Wyrdysm forums. Really.
*free hugs*

I love sound... don't you guys love sounds?
Hearing has to be my favorite sense *touch being my least favorite*
This little bit of random stems from work yesterday when we were using the missile. *Dunno what it's actually called or if that's it's technical name, but it's a pneumatic burrowing device, that looks like a missile >.>* and after it got far enough away from the compressor, you could only hear it when the missile wasn't hitting. *it was hitting at roughly 100 BPM I think.*
I dunno, I just really liked it... like I said, I love sound.
-
I used to be a music major. Once wrote a study on the sound that korean buddhist temple bells make. Which is an AWESOME SOUND.
God, such a nerd. Good that I switched to a much less nerdy career path, like programming.
I'm not sure that it's my favorite sense, though. I'm generally happiest with a few senses in tandem. Like, I like really good music playing when I masturbate!
-
i love feeling things.... i don't think i could be really happy if i couldn't feel anything.
-
Apoptygma Berzerk is playing at one of the regular clubs down here tomorrow night, should I go out to it? ./ponder
-
I have the driest hands in the world...until the time comes when I actually need them to be. Then they get all sweaty.
-

I dunno, that first word seems really hard to pronounce...could be dangerous for your tongue.
this decision has probably already been made though, if my calculations are correct.
-
Yeah, and I'm home alone right now xP
With CRAZY cabin fever.
-
Yeah, and I'm home alone right now xP

I had that last night. I wanted so much to be social but no one was around. So I played Magic online. But that's like the opposite of social.
I did play basketball though, but I mean I wanted to get drunk and party.
-
Yeah, and I'm home alone right now xP

Welcome to my existence.
If only I had place worth going to/people worth going with.

Well, beyond the fact that I'm sick, I've kind of lost my normal friday night activities xP
Damn it, life. Still really annoyed at various things right now. -_-;
-
Sorry to hear that. I want you to be either Super happy or at least happy.
-
Well, beyond the fact that I'm sick, I've kind of lost my normal friday night activities xP

Ah, life. Full of all sorts of things...but never the things you really really really want.
-
What the fuck is this...
Or for that matter, this?
Jeez, I never knew what cool stuff we had.
What does this do?
Well, I guess that's about all for now.
edit: Daaaaamn. Lamest Glow Ever.
-
Cabin Fever ARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! can I join you Akashayi? me being laid up with tendonitis means I've missed a few trips up out into the hills and scuba diving and it will be setting in soon.
-
I wish their were more negative quotes.
All quotations I find are all...sicky saccharine positive thinking tripe. Same bs over and over.
I don't wanna be inspired, dammit!

the glow thing doesn't work with Firefox CDSM

omg, how'd you know i was using firefox?!?!

because I can see you have an eye for quality *car salesmen shtick*
Also because I think the glow thing works on pretty much all other browsers >.>
-
I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as much as you deserve.
-
Oh thanks very much ;D
-
Oh thanks very much ;D
You're in the latter "less than half".
-
Aye thats what I thought

Aye thats what I thought
Oh, you knew that and were still happy about it? Glad to hear that!
-
well had an inkling I was not in the first half :P
-
well had an inkling I was not in the first half :P
Actually, you are in the first half. Then again most of you are so it's not really a half.
But I do like you less than you deserve (which, in a way, is a compliment in itself). :P
-
And hey guys, I'm on fire again. ./runs around
Damn it, California. >.<
-
on fire? in what sense?
-
seriously? I say they replace everything with cement
and I do mean EVERYTHING
the bad half the state is on fire, kind of fire
-
Want me to ask my fire Pilot pals to help put you out Akashayi?
-
Hm. Are they cute?
-
Hey, Apple. Next time you want me to buy a Mac...don't cast Patrick Warburton as a PC.
-
... Huh... my cousin said the same exact thing earlier today.

Just goes to show the universal awesome that is Patrick Warburton.

:( *Faces west and salutes*

Hmm...think I'll go do that now.
-
I hate it when people you care about disappear. Of course, I can't top your story and could probably track them all down eventually if I put my mind to it, but still I can understand where you're coming from.
Is that a true story?
-
G'day guys.
Only last month I was celebrating my Granny's 80th birthday with her and now I've just heard she's gone into hospital in a serious condition.
Keep her in your prayers or well wishes for me guys.
I'm off to the airport and NZ now for two weeks.
Cheers,
Charles
I'M BACK!!! :D
Thanks for your well wishes. After 4 blood transfusions, my Gran was up and running again. They've figured out she has a tumor which is causing the issues, it doesn't look like it's spread past some unimportan areas and she's getting it removed soon. WOOHOO!
Very happy woman as she was quite weak and had written if off as old age. Now she's had the transfusions she's an energizer bunny. Much better to know there's a cause and cure for such a state than to simply think it's just the way you are and the way you'll get as you age.
I'll talk about my trip to NZ later as it's late here and I've been chasing aeroplanes for 20+ hours (Considering NZ is less than 4 hours flight from Australia, I'm sure you can imagine the story to go along with that.)
Cheers and thanks again for your prayers and well wishes.

Yes parameciumkid, all of it is true, and thank you, you too Oddball.
-
I'm just stunned by that story Keaoden, it conveys emotions of horror and angst too great to be described in words, and if you want to, I hope you one day find out what really happened to her :/
-
No probs Keadon been doing that a lot recently for various folk.
-
That's completely messed up Keaoden. Sorry to hear that.
Welcome back Charlie.
edit: Hey where's RoninA these days anyway?
-
Welcome back Charles! So happy you're back, no one is getting my linux jokes. (heh)
But I'm glad for you grandmother.

Sorry Akashayi...................never heard of Linux

That's completely messed up Keaoden. Sorry to hear that.

I ate him.
*burp*
-
Hmm wondered why he was a bit quiet recently :-\
-
I'm oddly happy that The Hambeast is out tonight, but for some strange reason, my gut is telling me that there will be a dust-up when she gets back.
-
should that not sound better in the I confess thread Churba?
-
I just realized I bleed like crazy, on the smallest cut or prick >.>;
-
have lots of extra blood to spare, pozf?
-
Apparently I'm choked full of the stuff >.>
Anybody need some?
-
Become an anime character?
-
I could stand to have some more. I keep contemplating signing up for blood drives but never make the weight cutoff.
And I have really low blood pressure.
-
what's your blood type?
-
I think it's B+ but it might be A+
-
ah i'm O+
-
also O+...
And anemic as all hell xP
-
shame you aren't a vampire then. I have a ton of extra blood just doing nothing.
Because I know from experience my blood is tasty tasty.
-
ah i'm O+
Same here.
In other news, in one day I've fallen in love with Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei!
It's like Azumanga Daioh or Lucky Star...only with suicide and despair!

the blood donation center near me is always looking for blood.

I confess I hate...the idea of needles going into my blood veins. I mean, what if it snapped off!?!?!?!? :'(
-
heh glad I'm not the only one then.
I mean it's so ridiculously improbable but still.
-
i read "What if it snapped off" and took it the completely wrong way. i know you meant needle but still.

Ha! you should go put it in the out of context thread :P

heh and so i did

Just learned that the fire from five weeks ago, which wasn't the large recent fire closer to me, but the older one... is still burning. Thought they had put it out, but I guess it just wasn't on the news as much and the smoke less prominent. Five week long fire, holy shit.
-
POEM
I'm really cool on the internet!
I disrespect you all!
If I were as cool in real life
As I were
In the internet, I'd be really awesome
And have sex with lots of hot women!
But you wouldn't, because on the internet, you are not as cool
As I am.
*hippie drum roll*
Thank you all.
::)
Some people, y'know?

Sorry Akashayi...................never heard of Linux

My roommate just dropped a lamp on his electrical-touchy-globey thingy and shattered the glass on it.
I am suppressing the urge to feel bad for him.

that's okay my lava lamp fell over while no one was in the room and broke the glass on my sister's dresser once.

I wasn't going to say anything but yeah, thats like the average running time for a fire here in Australia
ya gotta love a country full of trees who thrive so much on regular fire that they naturally produce fuel in their leaves and bark to help it burn... Bloody gum trees.

i got in trouble for it cuz the lava lamp didn't break...

This is the part where I suggest everyone reads "In the Beginning was the Command Line" (http://artlung.com/smorgasborg/C_R_Y_P_T_O_N_O_M_I_C_O_N.shtml), one of my favorite essays of all time.
Love this section from the beginning, with an automobile analogy for operating systems.

Have any of you guys ever volenteered? I am currently volenteering at this computer recycleing centre and it is a lot of fun and I am learning a lot of neat stuff. In fact, I like it so much that I could see myself reparing computer hardwhere as a career, as long as I could get a job doing it.
-
You can get a job doing it yeah. I volunteered once for an org called "Brisbane Seniors OnLine" which was pretty much going to senior citizen's homes and giving them a 1 hour lesson each week on basic use of the computer (turning on/off, managing files, using word processor, basics of the internet and e-mail, etc).
I think those computer related volunteer jobs are great things for people to get initial experience that can lead to a job and career.

now i want to see evil twin Peanuts comic strip ;D.

Whot the hell is Azonalanthious? That's an awesome name.

I can't even remember my first post here. I'd read the comic back in 2005 but I didn't join the forums until much later.

my first post? ... erm... it's been waay too forever since 04 and we've gone through two forum changes too.
welcome though to Flipside Ivan ^_^ *waves*

So...Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize.
Presumably for having "vision" and being the first black president of the United States...
-
Cant remember my first few posts.......................then again I have trouble remembering who you all are and what I did last night :'( :'(
-
You feel old, Churba? I guess I must be like the great grandmother here. Quick, someone pass me my cane of beatings. Though you will suffer my anecdotes instead.
I started reading Flipside in Book 0, when Brion was still working on chapter two. When was that, '99? I was a regular reader for several years before I signed up for the forums, and went through four or so forum moves, but wasn't a regular at all. Mostly I think the post count for all those years up might have been combined to be ~450. :P
Speaking of feeling old, did you guys read xkcd (http://xkcd.com/647/)? Could start whipping out conversations about the good old days, when we walked five miles in the snow to dial into a bbs.
-
or how you used to get more than a thousand floggings out of a cat o' nine tails before it fell apart Akasahyi
-
I believe I started reading Flipside... *Goes and looks at the chapters* sometime in chapter 4, I'm not sure how long ago that was...

wtf
-
I'll agree if you provide a good explanation.
-
Someone painted that little figure on paper (probably some kind of more durable, not as flexible type paper), and then set it up in the leaves and took a picture of it.
I think that is, like, so cool. I think I've found my new hobby...

Did I tell you I'm thinking of taking up sewing? For the cosplays, you see.
Also, baking cookies for anime club.
But I'll never wear make-up or accessorize, so I have that at least.

On another subject: It's time to get out the air fresheners. My dorm room is starting to develop an unpleasant odor, and I know it ain't my fault, because I use deodorant and shower four times a day while at school.
-
You shower at school?

You shower at school?
I stay in the dorms during the week. Weekends I go home to work.

how do you find time to shower 4 times a day?
-
how do you find time to shower 4 times a day?
Once in the morning when I get up, once when I finish classes at around 3, maybe one around 7-8 before going to club, and one more before I go to sleep. Sometimes they're just 5-10 minutes, although the late night one can sometimes go on past the half hour mark.
I figure as long as I don't have to pay separate water utilities, I may as well take advantage (besides, I figure for every extra shower I take, there's at least one guy out there who isn't showering daily, so it balances out).
-
heh well i guess I'm just used to long hot relaxing showers ^_^

Talking about showers I need to go for one.

Huh - Random note, they're from my city.
I was about to say "Aha, now I know what city to annihilate" then I remembered they're from Australia and you're not in Australia.
On another subject: It's time to get out the air fresheners. My dorm room is starting to develop an unpleasant odor, and I know it ain't my fault, because I use deodorant and shower four times a day while at school.
*Grumbles* I know a house in particular I'd like you to annihilate in about four days.

told you hide some fish some where like under the floor boards Churba ;D
-
CDSM: Just so you know... Showering four times a day is extremely bad for your skin. Showering ONCE every day is bad for your skin. It's not a very smart thing to do, especially if you wash your hair each time.

I don't wash my hair every time.
And I imagine not showering every day is bad for other things.
How bad is it, anyway? It's just water.
After researching the subject, I have to call bullshit. The effects seem to be minor at best. I've had this habit for years now and my skin is fine, I never get sick, yadda yadda yadda.
I've realized that pretty much anything will kill you eventually anyway, and nothing in this world is healthy enough to make you immortal, so why bother with the particulars? I'm just going to do what makes me feel good.
-
I have a strategy of showering for about 15-20 minutes every two days (or so... if I'm busy). That way I use the same amount of water but don't have to get in and out of the shower as much, am kinder to my skin (assuming Razzly's information is correct), and get to spend longer in the shower when I am showering.
But my mean old parents always say I smell :\

*resists urge to try it on a few people just to see if he can*
Do it, send me a PM, see what you've got.
Because if you find some good stuff, I have things to delete.
Alright. Starting now!
-
DAMN! Ran out of time. Got close though. Actually figured out roughly where you live so its just the name I'd have to keep tracking down. Probably would have had it in another 30 minutes. I'll PM you what I did to track you down but I only got through the early posts you've made so things may have changed significantly since then (i.e. if you've moved out of home, etc)
Dammit! You've got me in a run now! I'm game to try with other's. Who's up for it!? Selan, Razzly, CDSM? No.Na would be a hell of a challenge.

@CDSM: Alright. Start the clock. I'm trying to watch a movie at the same time so this'll be interesting *lol*
-
STRUTH! I think I already found it :'(
Will PM and then do some more looking just in case. (note got distracted by the movie. When I say "already found it" I mean about 2 minutes in *lol*
-
I would like you to pm me my name spelled right and my last name spelled right, and my adress.
-
Hi Selan! :D
Hi Charles! :D
-
You can't track me down (I hope.) I'm damn careful about putting my real name on the internet. And it's not like I have the same alias everywhere either.
-
Hi Ronin
I'm actually quite sure i'm untracable...
-
I don't really think that it is that big a deal. But I use Linex so I don't really care about spy wear and crap anymore.
As far as stalkers you people are way too cool to stalk someone like me so I won't flatter myself.
-
@Razzly/Selan: Want me to see if I can and PM you any problem posts so you can edit/delete them? I'm not going to look unless I'm invited.
@CDSM: *groan* yeah, you confirmed I found you. Ha that was funny how I found you in two minutes. I expected you to be way more difficult. Fell asleep during the movie while I was tracking down other information in your posts.
@Deatzh confirmed that I was on the right track. I had an overload of information from her posts and got bogged down reading them. Probably should have started using the information to search earlier, then I might have made the deadline.
@Ronin: Yeah, my figuring is that if someone online was looking to stalk you, you'd pick up on it (i.e. alarm bells would start ringing in your head) and then you'd go through and delete or edit all your posts before they went further. After that it's just a matter of avoiding the forum for about a month and then returning with a different username. I think I mentioned before that I know someone who's had to go through this 3 times. I'm not sure what the hell she does to find these guys. I get the impression she's a bit of a flirt online *shrug*.
EDIT:
I would like you to pm me my name spelled right and my last name spelled right, and my adress.
Ahhh, sorry, missed this post. I'll begin the search now.
-
*groan* Damn Selan posts along in the simple game threads. Post overload in the word game, guess who's next and others.
I didn't get very far. Best I got was a lead on where I'd possibly start looking to find your name, but not sure if its there. I'll PM you on it.
Struth... Maybe an hour time limit was a bit ambitious. Soooo much to read. I'm bogging myself down in junk. Should be skimming through faster for hints of other online presence and location hints.
-
Don't beat yourself up on it, even friends that do know my name can't find me on the internet.
I'm good at this, there are two people on this forum that now my real name and my last name (excluding Leana) one that knows my first name and two that know my home town but nothing else and that's only because i told them. My bet is that you won't find anything on me.
-
CDSM: Just so you know... Showering four times a day is extremely bad for your skin. Showering ONCE every day is bad for your skin. It's not a very smart thing to do, especially if you wash your hair each time.

Uh, I haven't said anything about getting sick.
Showering several times a day washes off the natural layer of oil on your skin, making it really-really dry. One side-effect would be getting wrinkly rather early. *shrug* And eventually your skin will start over-producing oil because you keep washing it off all the time, and you end up being dirtier and greasier the more often you shower. It's not very healthy or good, even though you might not think it matters.
Charles: If you found me at all, I'm afraid I'd have to delete myself entirely off the internet. Entirely.
-
@Razzly: Well in that case I won't try looking even if you ask me :'(
*meh* Off the top of my head the main thing I can think of is the few times you've mentioned where you have your name listed on the internet. It's probably relatively safe to have it there, but I wouldn't mention anywhere that it's listed.
-
I don't have my real name anywhere on the internet.
-
??? I could have sworn you mentioned not sharing certain accounts here 'cos they used your real name or something *shrug* wise decision if you've since altered them. That should be your name covered and as I recall you moved not to long ago, so I doubt someone could find your location down to any great accuracy.
-
Yes, my other skype account has my first name. But there are quite a few sharing that name in the world, so you're not going to be able to find me by only searching that. My full name is nowhere.
And I wouldn't be so silly as to put my address anywhere on the net.
-
Hi Charles! I was pretty much entertained by the facts you found about Selan! So i would love it if you would try to track me down and pm me all my details :)
If you would be in the mood to do so ;D
-
@Razzly: Certainly not. I go through a detailed process to gather facts about the person that I can use to figure out more. Regardless though, I'm not going to try.
@Selan: Alright, I'll give it a go in a little while. Gotta put on a load of washing. The details I list are just things I note about the person. Pretty much anything they say on the forums that reveals something about themselves. They aren't necessarily important on their own, but together I can work out where and how I need to look.
-
I'm not ;D Even though i wouldn't want any-one of my relatives or friends to know (except for selan) that i am a forummember and all...I'm just so curious!
-
@Razzly: *shrug* everything I can find. I'd edit or delete the post above your last one. Thats what I was talking about. Don't mention where your name is 'cos it tells people where to look and then they'd just look for any information they can which might tell them where that site is or give them a chance of searching that site to find the particular name they're after.
The main thing you'd be worried about is the mention of any unique restraunt thats nearby (obviously McDonalds isn't unique). Any school names, clubs, colleges, and other places that you've attended. The full names of any friends or other accounts you have (particularly if those friends might slipup and mention your name). Your age and/or birthday: Someone could use it to figure out exactly what grade you were in at any particular school they tracked you down to but mention of the year of school, becoming legal age to drive, drink, graduate school can all give that away as well and it doesn't narrow things down that much so I wouldn't worry an awful lot there.
I do note music, books, movies, comics and other likes and dislikes but I'm yet to get anything from such details which really gave them away.
The truth threads are some of the worst ones around here, but (as we discovered with a former member) you can delete the entire thread easily enough if you have one).

Do you know what would be cool? Intellectual prostitution. By meaning, whores for the intellect. Planescape Torment had a "Brothel for the Slaking of Intellectual Lusts" and I think it'd be a really good idea for the real world, y'know.
Go to a place and have debates/discussions/insult contests with exotic women (and men).
Why doesn't reality have anything cool like that?
-
Yes, yes it would, I would totally spend money on that.
-
I would too.
My number one turn on is interacting with a fine intellect.
-
Especially if the fine intellect litters the conversation with geekyness. And some evil, evil is good too. :P

So we're pretty much looking for a joint with both BDSM mistresses/masters and Geisha?
-
Well we have half of that here already, we just need to find some geishas >.>
Edit: need to be really smart though.
-
Isn't Razzly a Geisha? Well... Geiko might be a better term, but they're pretty much one and the same.
-
Well we would need more than one, she can't handle All of the Geisha business >.>
-
I thought geishas were smart ... ???
-
I don't think there was ever any implication that the geisha weren't intelligent. More that they're not on the happy fun bdsm side of the shop.
-
ah well yeah that's prolly true.
-
Geisha are usually very intelligent. They are usually considered to be highly knowledgeable of the arts. Outside of that, the rest of their profession is pretty much concentrated on providing intelligent conversation/company.
Actually, Deatzh would probably be the other Geiko so there's two.
Akashayi and Smiles for the playful BDSM type? I'm not sure about Smiles but I reckon she's make a good mistress :P
-
Isn't Razzly a Geisha? Well... Geiko might be a better term, but they're pretty much one and the same.

Remind me not to go grocery shopping when hungry.
I went to buy bread and some sort of meat to put on top, I came home with 1 chocolate rollcake, 1,5 litres of diet cola and a small bag of salty liquorice. (And bread and meat.)

Well at least you came back with what you went to get in the first place.
Just make sure you share the cake and liquorice with the rest of the forum then you wont feel so guilty....

We have a sausage sizzle out the front of my work place every Friday.
I get the works which consists of a bun with bacon, onion, sausage and cheese.
It's about 120m from the sausage sizzle setup to the entryway into my work... I'm lucky if I still have a bite left of it by the time I get there... If I don't, I turn around to get another one *lol*

So we're pretty much looking for a joint with both BDSM mistresses/masters and Geisha?
Well, normal people can be exotic from a certain standpoint.
-
so gay Swedish marriages are in now??
Well, gay marriages has been same status as straight ones for little over a year as far as city-hall marriages goes, but now the largest christian church, that's still known as the Swedish Church has approved conducting the religious ceremonies for gay couples aswell if desired.
(Sweden had a state religion of lutheran christianity well into the late 20th century)
I however, don't think that desiscion was completely right the way it happened.

Working. But that's okay, because I didn't have anything else to do that night.

sweet holy mother fucking ow! My tooth (which had broken previously and had a sad little half crown on it) just snapped in half. Or, well, the crown broke off. JUST NOW. Fucking hell!

Ooh, that's sucks.
One of my friends has a crown. He got it because I (very intentionally) tripped him while playing basketball and he went face first BAM! snapped a front tooth in half.

@Akashayi: OOOOH! I've had that. Hurts like a bitch!

Does anyone else, when listening to music, try to pick out non-melody elements?

How is that game? Does it just devolve into a giant spontaneous orgy as the box seems to imply? ;) :P Or do the people who you're playing with just go "YEAH... :(. She's even more of a pervert then I first suspected."
What about the rest of those "Adult themed Party games" in general? Sexy fun or awkward-awkwardness.

I think they are lame because sex is boring. It's like sex is everything that matters when you are adult.
-
I've never playing an adult themed party game ...though the ones you see in sex shops and what not always strike me as super lame. :P
-
Seriously, guys, why does "adult-themed" always have to be "sex-themed".
Is that all adults do is sex, sex, sex? Hell, teens sex a lot, can't they be "teen-themed"?
-
It's not? :o
FUCK! :o
::)
I think they are supposed to be fun in the sexy feelings they bring up, but one could easily see that going terribly, terribly wrong.
I could see it even being awkward to even take it out of box.
You: "Hey guys, You wanna play an adult themed party game?" ;D
Everyone Else: "Um... Yucky!" :(
I agree, C.S.D.M. there is clearly more to being an adult then sex.
(But none of it matters. ::) )
-
Yeah but when it comes to party games what non-sexual adult themes are there?
Obviously you could argue that difficult games are adult only but some kids are good enough to play them.
There are games that involve dirty jokes but they are usually sexually based anyway.
The only thing outside of sex that I can think is alcoholic drinking games.
The problem is that to make it pretty much exclusive to adults there must be some part of it which minors wouldn't normally be allowed to do and most adult things that minors can't do involve either sex or alcohol.

What about the rest of those "Adult themed Party games" in general? Sexy fun or awkward-awkwardness.
actually no it didn't end up in an orgy...as much as it might've been nice if they had happened if my bf had gone. but yeah no not with sis there too. anyways we all just kinda laughed at the innuendo stuff. ::) we had a really good time. and the guy who'd drunk the most alchohol won most of the rounds.
-
You mean you wouldn't want to have a threesome with your sister? Damn, Smiles, ruin it for everyone! ::)
-
Ugh at one of my cousins birthday party, fuuun *even though I'm playing borderlands with my cousin still awkward and odd*
-
yeah no sis and i don't want our sexlives to combine thanks. ::)
...wait odd was at your cousin's house? ;D ;D ;D
-
Aye I was getting drunk in the corner :P
-
I really, really, REALLY hope Funimation dubs the new One Piece movie coming out in December.
-
Male or female cousin?
-
Assuming that's aimed at me, it was my cousin Joline's *not gonna lie, no idea if that's how you spell her name >.>; * 21st birthday, but I was hanging out with my cousin Justin, whom I'm almost always hanging out with.
-
ok
-
21st b-day parties can be fun ;D
-
21st b-day parties can be fun ;D
That's only if someone takes you out drinking.
Mine, on the other hand, was spent listening to "Sixteen Tons" continuously and trying to change it to birthdays. "Another year older and deeper in debt, and all that".
-
like i said they CAN be fun. i didn't say mine was.
-
I spent three days drinking/partying with friends for my 21st.
Oh man, and one of those was a full day of going through the strategy mode in soul caliber three while drinking with friends. I don't even remember how we beat it, but it was pretty epic >.>;
Beyond that, it was your usual fare of good food, mario party (for gamecube!) and bad movies.
Ah, memories..
-
Cant remember my 21st birthday :'( :'( :'( :'(
-
At my 21st I had a sleepover with friends and ex who was SO at the time.
-
Hmm - We have win and fail.
Win! : I got free tickets to the Hairy Bikers show at Aberystwyth Arts center off a mate, and I should be able to ride my moto down there and back in a reasonable amount of time.
Fail!: That's the university Salubi(who loves the hairy bikers) and her psycho scumbag of a boyfriend are going to, and as she loves the hairy bikers, and he'll lay out any amount of money if it gets him reward sex, they'll probably be going. I have some choices -
1)Go along, ready for trouble, but openly, since I'm not exactly hard to spot, and if they see me, a fight will break out. I won't lose this fight, you can put money on that, but it will cause unnecessary trouble, and even if I end the fight without hitting him, it will be bigger trouble, because suffice it to say, the police don't take kindly to that thing - and you can bet your arse that a big, burly rugby player losing a fight to some "pathetic little coward loser" like me would end in the police knocking on my door due to an "anonymous" tip.
Advantages - I will be showing the little bully I'm not afraid, and I don't have to go to any effort. Also, probability of having the satisfaction of getting to take him apart in the name of self-defense, and melting his pompus little ego like butter under a blowtorch in the process.
Disadvantages - Trouble, and lots of it.
2)Go along, but disguise myself - Dye my hair and beard with wash-out dyes, change the style of my hair, a touch of stage makeup and maybe a prosthetic or two, wear clothes the ex won't recognize, carry extra gear for on the fly changes if needed, and change a few other things, like my gait and stance, etc, etc. No trouble will be likely, but the cost of the extras (hair dye and spirit gum) will cut into my budget.
Advantages - I love gettin' my disguise on, and I'm damn good at it.
Disadvantages - Cost.
3) Don't go.
Advantages - No expense, No trouble
Disadvantages - I don't get to go to the Hairy Bikers for free, who I'm a huge fan of, and I don't think I'll get to see them again any time soon.

Seriously, go and keep an eye out. Never let other people ruin your good time.
-
Why don't you take the fourth option?
Go, don't let their existence ruin your good time. In fact, their existence really has no hold on your life what so ever. Disguising yourself would look like something it's not if you're found out, and will generate a fair bit more trouble. Just ignore them completely, if they are there. Even if they try and come talk to you.
If you don't think you can ignore them, which is understandable especially given how much you're brooding on it >.>, then don't go.
-
I say 1 or 4 and in case you see trouble coming, make sure you'll have witnesses around that are likely to favour your cause :P
-
Just go and enjoy yourself.............and carry a big stick :P (ignore the last bit)
-
Um... I am not an expert, but from the sound of it, they'll be enough people at this thing to avoid those too completely, Churba.
It's your decision, but know that not going to something you really want to go to just because some muscle bound douchebag is going to be there is probably not really what you want to do. Your obviously not a chicken, but you will probably feel like one if you stay home. A little drama is probably worth going to something awesome and free like that, and there is a good chance you won't see the goon anyway. Bring a friend with you, they can back you up and help take your mind off those two and enjoy yourself.

Has anybody else downloaded the Left 4 Dead 2 demo?
-
not yet.......have you?
-
Has anybody else downloaded the Left 4 Dead 2 demo?
I didn't like left for dead one, so no. I played it a little one night and had a such a hard time figuring out what I was supposed to do. I just killed zombies until I got lost and then got frustrated that I couldn't get out of the level.
Then I went back to Duels of the Planeswakers. If I am playing Xbox 360 I'd rather be playing that anyway. Well, that or Halo.
I would help if they would tell you what your objective was, or you at least had a map, but wandering around an abandoned world were everyone is a zombie and you have no idea where to go is just... depressing.
-
not yet.......have you?
Yeah hence the else >.>
The game is really linear you can only really go the way they want you to go, >.>;
Plus this one has more weapons, which was one of my biggest gripes with L4D
-
Weird, maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention. I was expecting it to be brainless and then I got lost. Still, some kind of window ticking off objectives would have been helpful. :-\
-
There really isn't an objective it's just "get to the next safe house" or "escape"
-
What's a "safe house"?
-
It's the area you need to get to for that section of the campaign to end, it has ammo med kits and other assorted things in it.
-
It should be noted that if I were in your shoes, Churba, I wouldn't go.
I've had similar situations come up down here ...fairly recently... and I told myself I'd enjoy myself anyway, but ended up regretting it in the end. No matter how much I live in my head or how rational I can be, the sight still had me shaking a bit from anger and I went home with my heart racing.
If it's still enough for you to brood at the mere thought of it, how would you feel faced with it?
---
Also Pozf, I haven't yet. I have Dragon Age and Borderlands in the mail right now, so I imagine I'll be quite busy next week as it is >.>
-
Well it's only a demo you should do it now before it's too late and the other massive amounts of awesome consume your time.
-
Really? :'(
Like one of those house places like the farm house by the water?
What do you do then? I got to one of the farm house (you know, after you go across the street through the abandoned house and kill the zombies at the farm?) and I couldn't figure out what to do next. I waited around for the stage to end and nothing happened so I figured I'd gone the wrong way and tried to go another way, only I couldn't find another way to go. Is there an icon or something that enables saves at safe houses? Once you are there, how do you get the stage to end? :-\
-
I haven't played the first one in months so I don't know what your talking about.
But if it was a safe house you need to close the door. The game will usually have a pop up thing, like when it tells you to save a team mate from a special infected, telling you to wait till everybody is inside to close the door.
Here I went on youtube and found THIS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDGTdYAwlyY) playthough of the first campaign * no mercy* , you can see the first safe house at about 3:10 keep watching or watch before that if you want a better explaination of the game, because that's all the game boils down to.
I do remember there being a house near a lake, but that was the end of a campaign *don't remember which one* and the escape sequence where they point out to you what to do.
-
so churba how was the show?

The show is tomorrow, unless you mean the radio show, which didn't go at all, thanks to the uni being retarded.
-
Ah well your going right? like it's been said with a big event like that the chances of you even bumping into them are pretty low. and if you do you can always say you're trying to meet up with soemone... or something.
bummer about your radio show thing.:/ uni can be like that anywhere.

Don't try to resist her, my friend. Just let it all go and let her possess your mind. It's something you should try man, really swell.
But seriously though, compared to a lot of contemporary pop singers, she's pretty good.

I'm considering making one of my male main characters into (secret) woman.
But I'm not sure. It would rob us of potential shirtless scenes. They also would have some voice issues...they could have the gravelly baritone unless it was a fake voice, but that's still against the point of ambiguous.
I'll have to think about it. I don't know why, but it just...seems like I want it to happen.

Not only did I see them play live, I was eating really delicious uber-kansai takoyaki at the time and it was generally pretty awesome. <3
-
Well guys! Against my better judgment I sent a message off to my friend telling them how disappointed I am in our friendship and that I think they're worthless as a friend.
I figure it's just one step to take to be more comfortable with telling people how I really feeling, regardless of the consequences.
I'll probably end up driving yet another person away, but whatever. It's not like I cared about her anyways.
-
just had a really shitty couple of nights at work, another resident died last night that makes two now of old age and natrual causes :(
-
My friend replied to my message. Guess it got her attention. I'm too nervous to read it just now...I still feel guilty over some of the things I said.
-
Yep. I screwed myself over.
Guess I really am a horrible person.
-
God-dammit.
-
@CDSM: hmmm, tough one... Well... If you're sending a message saying they're worthless as a friend, then I guess your pretty much ending a friendship you don't want.
It's certainly a direct way of doing it.
Can't comment much more as I certainly don't know your full circumstances but good luck regardless.

Well finally had a fall of snow, not deep and it did not last long.
-
Had a near accident on the highway this evening... Snow is scary, especially when a black road suddenly turns white and there are cars sliding and crashing in front of you.
-
Hehe, I love driving in the snow, especially in the job truck, a 4WD toyota is great when there's 2" of snow slush on the road ;D
There's almost 8" of snow on the fields over here by now, last winter there was no winter around Trelleborg. All rain and wind, the little snow that fell didn't even last a day.
-
are you all right Selan? my ex decided to try a few spins while out on the motorway one year on our way home from work, not very nice.
-
I'm fine, i was lucky i was farther behind and i had noone behinde me. Lucky i'm smart enough not to hit the brakes but to use the engine to slow down fast.
The guys in front of me weren't. But i gues it was probably only car damage.
-
Here I am all jealous of everyone's snow. But that is one thing I'm thankful of, not having to de-snow and de-ice my car every morning, shovel snow and then drive in wretched conditions. I can just relax and speed away in the shining sun here.
At least until I go back home for the holidays :P
...so thankful you are in one piece, Selan. Be safe!

You can
pray hope for that tomorrow, conditions will be horrible for driving they say :'(

Katie sounds like a nice girl. And asian too? rowr. I mean gosh, she's really only giving herself to one guy there. She also seems to be determined and able to meet her goals once she sets them, which is an admirable quality! :P
Apart from that one guy, it kinda sounds like Dante's girlfriend in Clerks.
"37 guys?!" haha
What's a "V-card" though?
-
V...card.... I have not heard of this maneuver, either.
-
Somebodies virginity.
-
But not your own? That'd be like me saying, "here, take this other guy's virginity...all your's"
-
It's more like, you have sex with a virgin you now have their V-card
So, with each one on the list that says "V-Card" she was hoping to get... "Collect" if you will...
-
I could see that very easily becoming a bad anime. A la Card Captor Sakura and her magical rod.
-
Yeah. I took it to mean maybe she meant give her own V-card, and that she was probably thought it meant letting him go in the vagina.
She sounds flaky enough to mix up the lingo.
-
if you have a collection of v cards, wouldn't that also mean you've had really bad sex with a lot of different people maybe just once?
-
I suppose so, but there are those "Conquest" kind of people who prefer quantity over quality.

More worried about bragging rights than enjoying themselves? I just can't empathize with that mindset in the slightest.

Yeah. Personally, I'd rather be the last person a woman has sex with than the first, if you get my drift.
Hint: The drift is not that I'm a serial killer. Shame on you for thinking that about me.

I actually didn't... immediately assume that... until you brought it up. o.O
I don't know about last... but that would require a belief in things lasting, which is scarce in my brain...
Yeah, I think I agree with you. Would way rather be a person's last than their first... And everyone knows I don't really care to sleep with virgins. xP

Well, my preference is that I'd rather be the one they "end up" with, so to speak. i.e. I don't care if a girl has had no previous lovers or a hundred, if I'm the one she's with now and she wants to be with forever.
Kind of different from my Christian buddies. They didn't 'get' it. I'd listen to them saying stuff like "How'd you feel knowing someone had 'been there' before you?" or as one preacher advised us "You don't used equipment, boys".
Well, golly, I tend not to view women as pieces of equipment.
Random:
Can't be sex at all. If it were, why the hell would being a guardian or sister stand in the way? It's manga, after all.
Too late, you already have that Serial killer feel about you.
Objection! Serial killers are sickos and pussies that kill because they are pussies and their mom didn't love them because of it, and now they rape and ritually eat blonde women cuz their first crush was a blonde chick that rejected him.
So, serial killer, no. Definitely not.
But generic mass murderer, well, that's a label I could aspire to.

I'm pretty sure both CDSM and Akashayi are serial killers. OH GOD! and AKASHAYI KNOWS MY ADDRESS! *hides under bed*
I gotta admit... That list really is quite funny. But I must confess that I've never known a guy to keep such a list yet I have known one girl. But if legend is to be trusted then frat guys seem to keep track of their conquests.
I guess Girls plan their conquests or make goals while guys just go with whatever they can get and tally it up *shrug*
Strange as it is, despite my crummy marriage, I'm still much more for long term relationships than one-night-stand's dirty weekends or short term flings... I guess friendships with benefits would still work. I just prefer the idea of only being with someone (or people I guess) who I know, rather than random strangers.
*shrug* each to their own and heck, good on that girl if she manages to achieve all her accomplishments *lol*
-
(Re one night stands:) But some people are just so open and/or awesome that they're not really strangers within a half hour of talking with them...and then it's all good. I have missed several of those opportunities though, only realizing the following morning (sometimes a couple days later! I'm dense) that there was flirting going on, and never capitalized on one I don't think. :( But I used to just assume that no one could possibly be attracted to me unless there was something wrong with them or they weren't that pretty, whatever.
But every time I think about it I get kinda mad, because some of those opportunities were really good, with really cool people and/or attractive people, and I won't get them again. Even if they didn't turn into sex, you know, just having fun with someone.
The worst one...ugh no I don't even want to think about it. There were I think 3 that I'm just about equally regretful about.
Ugh.
Sorry!

Yeah, I have regrets for not following through. One of those girls, I don't think I'll ever get the chance again and I have a huge crush on her >.<
-
*sigh* Yeah... All the old "What if's" or "If only I'd" kind of thoughts.
I guess *shrug* heck I haven't been single in 10.3 years so you guys would know better than me.
-
That cat pic is funny btw. Something about "butt" is always funny to me.
But anyway, the reason I came over here is that I was thinking of asking charles to start up the drunk thread again.
I just kind of like the idea. It'll keep us from saying too much weird sh#$ in the other threads, and we can let loose if we happen to be "partying" alone. As it is, I never want to come here when I'm drinking, or I feel uncomfortable if I do and read all my posts like 8 times to try and make sure I'm not saying something stupid I won't regret later, and that's not fun.
charles? Could you do that pls, maybe next time you're wasted (j/k)? :) Just don't use all caps this time...
I can do it, but you did such a good job last time...and it was your brainchild. (one of your uglier, less intelligent ones)
I know there was some opposition before, but I think it certainly had enough support as well. I mean, this is Free Talk, even a minor portion of the population should be allowed to open topics as they like.
And just as a note for those who may think otherwise: those of us who drink occasionally do not think we are "cool" or whatnot for doing so, nor are we saying "Look at me, I'm drunk!" In contrast, folks are perfectly welcome to ignore the thread entirely. :) (Though I think no one will...who doesn't want to read what people say when they're drunk?) :)
ninja'd: really? That long?
-
To be fair though I probably shouldn't feel uncomfortable posting buzzed and being like HELLOO everybody!
It's just a bad habit that I developed due to someone's...well ya know.
But I don't think it's bad to have a thread.
-
Alcohol can be such a great social lubricant, and you guys are a lot of fun (for me) while drunk! Drink more! post more!
-
@UIS: hmmmm, I'll work on coming up with another name maybe. I can half see the problem people had with it. They thought it was making light of heavy drinking and alcoholisim.
PARTY POSTING... CRAZY POSTS *shrug* I do like the idea of starting it off again. I'll see about coming up with someting tonight... After a few beers *LOL*

@Akasha: why does everything you say get instantly interpreted sexually in my mind? :P It's happened to me like 8 times in the last week! Just totally got a mental image of a threesome...high five charles! Churba, you around? Oddball? Get in here! (sorry! :-[ :P)
charles: I know what you mean, but the truth is that's an interpretation rather than reality, and I think it'll be better if the Free Talk area is freer. No reason not to have a party atmosphere, as you say, as long as long as there is someone who wants to do it. *evil grin, waits with party hat held behind back*
Just like there's no reason not to always talk about sex, since we seem to be a bunch of horndogs, or at least think sex is fun/funny to always talk about. I mean, anyway, look at the comic we read here!
If a bunch of serious people show up, or a bunch of people who think it's stupid to always talk about sex, they can start threads too...nah never mind, the threads will turn to sexual discussions/jokes instantly and they'll leave. :P But oh well, there are other forums out there!
I'm saying this as much to myself as anyone btw.
But anyway, plz only do it (start thread) if and when it feels right ;) I don't care if it's today, or weeks from now. (though I might do it myself eventually)
-
Wait, so the two of you want to have an orgy with Churba and me?
Umber, you're such a fucking pervert. (don't ever change.)
...vaguely on the topic at hand, I've always liked the light hearted.... fun, sexual, friendly atmosphere here. :)
-
Wait, so the two of you want to have an orgy with Churba and me?
hell yes. I think that would be wonderful.
( I edited Odd in there too, didn't want him to feel left out. Pozf will be on his laptop in the corner maybe...CDSM is still figuring out if he's asexual or not, while masturbating 6-8 times a day :P )
Actually, I don't want it too crowded. Foursome tops! (unless smiles or someone else shows up :P)
...vaguely on the topic at hand, I've always liked the light hearted.... fun, sexual, friendly atmosphere here. :)
exactly. I think I've gotten away from that a bit, or just not let myself go enough.
If you're not being yourself, then what are you being ya know?
and don't forget intelligent. Extremely silly and weird, but intelligent.
I guess there's always the debate room for being intelligent and serious, and Another Dimension for being intelligent and creative.
-
No, No I wouldn't. I wouldn't be caught dead in *or near* a situation even remotely like that.
-
Churba, you around?
Usualy.
Wait, so the two of you want to have an orgy with Churba and me?
I think you need to reverse the names, and then reduce mine to 8 pt font before that statement becomes accurate.
-
hahaha
-
I dunno Churba, it sounds like Umber has been having some interesting fantasies with you (and, uh, Charles) XD
which is perfectly understandable.
-

no I think he hit it pretty much right on the head actually. I just wanted to make sure you were fulfilled. (wow, such an unfortunate word :P)

Well, umber is a very strange man.

Blame it on the beard and cool hat you've worn in recent pictures. Just had to out-hot yourself, didn't you?

hmmm. Churba is pretty hot :o :'( ::) :P
It is a pretty awesome atmosphere. I mean, it turns a little serious sometimes, but generally, everyone still keep their cool and keeps talking or supporting each other.
*sips more of his 8th beer*
I love you guys

wondered why my ears where itchy last night, you lot where dragging me into your depraved sessions again :P
-
Well... I have always wandered exactly what is underneath a Scottsman's kilt :'( :-* :P
-
as if I'm gonna tell ye that ;)
-
*shrug* My Grandparents on my mother's side are scottish, so that makes me close enough.
*looks under his pands*
oly curd! we got some reasonable stuff. Hell look at me pics in tha sex thread for proof *lol*
God damn I'm durnk! Can[t even be bothered to fix my spelling mistakes or more so sypoes.
-

Shoes, socks, and two layers of lipstick.

dont forget the mascara Churba ;)

Alcohol can be such a great social lubricant, and you guys are a lot of fun (for me) while drunk! Drink more! post more!
Caffeine is my social lubricant. Alcohol I avoid because I'm not sure how it'll affect me. I'm kinda worried about the inhibition lowering leading to me saying mean things I shouldn't.

I have to say, that is a good reason to avoid it. I know exactly how it affects me, which helps. I'm a silly...sometimes sexy drunk most all the time. And I like being silly and sexy :)

Yeah, most people I know don't understand. I mean, I'll have a shot or something if I'm with friends and it's offered to me, but that's it. Nothing against it, it's just you gotta realize me loosening up inevitably leads to pretty dark stuff.
-
I survived!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hehehe,
As i was driving trough town the road was like this
(http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv313/tattoopics123/P1010863.jpg)
But i figure... Hey! at least the highway won't be this bad.
Then i drove on towards the highway, and as i turned on the hil and saw what was ahead of me i had a
OMFG moment.
(http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv313/tattoopics123/P1010867.jpg)
But hey... i'm still here unharmed and not a scratch on the car. YAY me :-*
-
YAY!!!! white out conditions (glad you got home safe Selan)
-
Yup, tomorrow might be a new challenge tho :-*
After that i have a day off.... I'm going to bed now and prepare for more epicness
-
good luck you might need it Selan :-*
-
Why don't they all just drive bumper cars over there? Makes a lot more sense to me... well... if they're sealed and have heating installed.
-
Now there's an amusing visual, a bunch of people in suits...driving bumper cars trying to knock each other around on their way to work.
So glad you're safe though, Selan!
-
You'll be fine Selan! I believe it!
-
but the question that needs to be asked is: what happened to the snow ploughs/gritters?
-
Bloody hell! I just had a major power issue here.
Bloody giant Cisco switch decided to blow one of it's power supplies in a blaze of glory. Flaming smoke all through the blasted room. It was so bad, it set of several other major machines power supplies and went right through the 40Kva UPS to trip the bloody mains going to it. Flaming thing had less than 30minutes of battery life left by the time I got down there.
Gotta replace that power supply and several others including one in a giant flipping DS8100 who's powersupply is the size of a Gamer Desktop tower computer.
Struth!
-
My mom almost walked in on me drawing 'you-know-what' about an hour ago. That would've been awkward...
Oy...this just makes me worry about getting a girlfriend.
How will I explain to them that not being Christian =/= being atheist and immoral? I have strong morals, I believe in God...I just don't believe in Christianity.
They won't understand.
Especially if I get with this girl...she'll want to have sex eventually. I'm not going to deny her that. I hope when that comes my parents won't ask about it...ayyy...
-
Really? Most people like that tend to believe in God and Christianity but don't believe in Christians *lol*
Depends on your parents on if they'll ask about it. Sometimes they know and just ignore it, sometimes they're more direct and sometimes they don't care *shrug* You know your parents better than I do.
Heck, take and deal with things as they come *lol*
-

Well, sometimes they just assume, too. Which, their assumption might be right but that don't mean they "know".
-
ahhh yes. Well, it's sort of like a lot of hints and little things. Sort of like someone who suspects their partner is cheating on them. They might not know, but they have some idea thanks to little hints and suspicions. Granted, there can be a level of paranoia but someone close to you can usually guess these things pretty accurately.
Heck, I can't remember how old you are but if you're 18 then it shouldn't really be their business or concern. On the other hand, I do believe that parents have a certain level of rights about what goes on in their house if you're living under their roof and eating their food, despite your age, so if they have certain rules about sexual activity under their roof or other things in their home then it should probably be respected to a certain level... Just wait 'till their out of town or something *LOL*

Who knows. Remember, sexual subtext isn't something my kind are taught.

Well, I wouldn't do it here. I mean, specifically, while I am away at college.

I'ma bite my goddamn tongue.
-
*lol* Yeah, there's no hope for the paranoid who are just locked onto the idea that people are cheating on them, or for the naieve who force themselves to ignore even the most blatant signs in order to believe the best. But there can be all sorts of little things that a reasonable person, who's close to you, can spot over time to get a pretty good idea of something being up or out of the ordinary.

I act like that all the time, for nothing, hence my parent's paranoia. So yeah...
-
It's almost impossible to hide something from me. Not because I'm paranoid, or creepy-stalkerish about things, but simply because I'm very observant over time and can put 2 + 2 together.
Sometimes, I think that's a curse... but in the end... I still like my observant, intelligent mind. ./pokes self in brain

Same here, I tend to play oblivious and always act as if all I can see the surface, then when your least expecting I whip it out.
-
I'm observant AND paranoid, so often I second-guess my observations.
Like, this girl that I like, I *think* she might like me, but I think that I only think that because I want it to be true.
But I met with a friend today who said she suspected she was trying to hit on me as well, which makes me feel better.
But she advised me definitely to wait, which is good, since that was my plan.

I got an I-pod nano
a new monitor
and an ass-kicking on Christmas eve.
-
Funny thing, Charles. I got a Nerf Maverick, too. ;P (wait, that was for my birthday)
I'm in Canada now, watching the snow fall. There isn't the slightest bit in Toronto, but I'm a bit out of town at my aunt's at the moment.
Huzzah! Snow!
-
Yep, it's snowing here, too, which is why my aunts decided to stay an extra day. The weather should be better for travel tomorrow. I'm not a big fan of playing in the snow nowadays, but I was when I was younger.
-
I got $100 (part of which I'd spent in advance buying black lagoon...so I got like 40 left), a new carrier for my laptop, pajama pants, an external harddrive, a new mug, and...that's about it.
Oh, yeah, and I came home from a hard day at work and told my dad I wasn't sure I wanted to be in this world anymore. That didn't turn out so well.
-
It snowed just before Christmas, I got a cookbook from my housemate, and I got to speak to loved ones far away. Little more I could ask for, really.
-
I spent my vouchers on some Anime DVDs from JB and a HEAP of tools from Supercheap Auto... DAMN you can get a lot with those vouchers when you've got staff discount.
-
This was my favorite gift of any kind this year:

OMG No. Really? I'm assuming your dad or other male "caregiver"?
I'll nail his fucking ass to the wall.

Though my dad is an asshole and a moron hes never beat me up.
No, its was just some drunk guys that were looking for trouble/tail. This is how it went, after a day helping gather some stuff up for Christmas dinner my dad stops at the bar down town to meet with a few friends. I knew he would be at least an hour, he likes to talk, he really likes to talk. Now its kinda late and I'm just hanging down on the bridge looking over at the water, doing nothing, when two guys both buzzed if not a little more come from across the street. I didn't think about it at first, not until one shouted out, "Hey babe, need some company?" I looked over and just ignored them. I thought they would just go away, but no, as they came down the street it became apparent they weren't just going to go away. I was trying to think of something to say when one of them put his hand on my shoulder with a line like "How about I unwrap you under the Christmas tree?" Now that I think about it, there were much better things I could of said, but instead I went with, "You're not my type." Thats when the two of them probably realized I wasn't a girl. The two of them half yelled something like 'nasty faggot' and something else. After they left I thought that was the end of it, but no, they came back with another guy and then there was a fight. I did not throw the first punch, I can say that much. Half the time I was just trying not to get hit. Well after they really started to beat me up, my dad along with 3 of his mason friends who were all ex-marines came out. It ended with them running away and me with a few bruises and a split lip. Not bad for 3 on 1. So yeah, exciting Christmas.

...well I agree. That doesn't sound bad at all for a 3 on 1. Wow...
this ever happened before? You sound quite nonplussed. Or is that just an emo thing?
...sounds like you live in an awesome neighborhood.

Well, its not the first time I've had guys mistake me for a woman. It is the first time I was beat up because of it.
Well, where I live most people are totally fine with homosexuals, never once have I ever heard of something like this. So these guys were probably from out of town/state.

Just like a scantily clad girl is asking to get raped.
Which is to say, not at all.

-
I do believe I will be taking a leave of absence from this forum.
Hopefully when I return, I will have good news. Look for me in a month!
-
*sniffle* goodbye CDSM
You shall be missed but we will remain vigilant in your absence and never forget that you are-
Ohhh look! something shiny! ::) :P
-
Awww...... Good luck on your journey of epicness! we'll be rooting for you :-*
-
As you go on this epic journey CDSM...............................I dont have any words of wisdom for you.
-
I lied.
(no really, i spend too much time relying on this place for social interaction, ttfn--ta ta for now)
-
*sniff* I feel like a son is moving out of home... *PMSL* just kidding :P
Yeah, if you're getting a good social life going then put the forums lower on your scheduling list so you can schedule yourself for real life stuff much more easily.
Good on ya mate.
-
what's this real life stuff you talk about Charles? *shivers*
-

Good on ya mate.
I don't schedule this place, I just end up here.
(okay, really, I'm not coming back after this...or at least after the 1st)
-
Not coming back or coming back less often?
Is it a resolution to visit Flipside less or a resolution to spend less time on the internet?
-
what's this real life stuff you talk about Charles? *shivers*
it's an alternate dimension to this one.
*huggles CDSM* glad your staying ^_^
-
*huggles smiles and CDSM... just 'cos huggles are awesome*
-
It's more a resolution to not waste time on forums and tvtropes, and actually accomplish something.
Less a "spend less time in the house" than a "use the time spent in the house better".
-
My boyfriend said my resolution should be "to be nicer."
What a terrible idea! :P
-
always try your hardest to not take boyfriends' advice.
bye for now CDSM! I'll be looking forward to your Epic return of Triumph. Now-Oh look! Something shiny!!
:D

Yah, happy new year all. Hope you all had fun last night. I would have if I hadn't been sick and sore from the past week, cleaning the house moving furniture, and cooking for my parents party with their friends, awesome. I spent the good majority of said new year party either puking my guts out or trying to sleep. I mean, I didn't even drink anything, what the hell. Nothing like feeling like crap, and getting hit on by a horny cougar.
-
Oh aye I had fun. Three false fire alarms at work last night and the last went off bang on midnight......nothing like brining in the (alarm)bells.
Noticed one thing with my sleep depravation today: only dozed for about an hour this morning and now I crave human contact (hardly had any last night apart from a few texts) but at the same time I dont maybe be amongst people but just sit quietly and enjoy thier company.

A single, fourty-something year old woman looking for some. Yes.

Ah. I was hoping maybe you meant a literal cougar.
That would be an interesting story.

(6.8 Fahrenheit btw)
-
was minus 10 c here this morning warmest was minus 2.5 c this afternoon.
-
On christmas day it was below -20c where I was, I had to scrape ice off the INSIDE of my car windows aswell as the outside.
-
Been doing that for the past week, dam FIAT's even broke the door handle on the passenger side when it broke due the doors being ice welded shut.

Temperature just in a dark and cold Scotland:

Damn, you even got it chilly inside Odd!
-
inside is or was +12.7 c outside was -9.6 think the temp has fallen since I took that this evening Emp.
-
I had to use a blowtorch on the garage door to get it to open thismorning so my housemate could get his car out, this is after having to do the same to put it in there in the first place. I'm thinking of getting some de-icer to spray in the lock.

Today's question:
Let us suppose we have a woman.
She is about 5' 8", is in physically peak condition, and has a full figure.
In about what range would she weigh?
edit: never mind, i have found an answer.
-
Anywhere from 140 - 160 lbs...?
-
Anywhere from 140 - 160 lbs...?
Yeah, that looks about right. I found some numbers on female mixed martial artists, which seems to be what I'm going for. Thanks for answering, though!
-
./yawn
it was -12c today, and -17c where I was skiing yesterday (-15c today up there). And snowing!
Tomorrow, I leave snowland to travel back to the past. The pre-ice age past. in LA.
And I'll be around more often. huzzah
-
+30 something here :P
-
:P
I don't actually like weather that hot.
-
It's great for skinny dipping.
-
I went to Seattle this weekend. Seems like a great city. The weather there is just like Portland. Cold and Wet just like it.
-
On christmas day it was below -20c where I was, I had to scrape ice off the INSIDE of my car windows aswell as the outside.
i hate it when i have to do that.
-
I hate it when I have to scrape the tar from the road off the bottom of my shoes... I'm not joking, it really can get that hot in Australia.
-
ewwwy
-
ew is right. I just got back from the land of having to scrape ice
it's 13~c here right now... a mild, breezey morning... Ah, california winters. ;P
-
while some of you are getting a tan another cold front bringing snow is about to arrive here.
-
Areas of Sweden might get -40c tomorrow night... winds sweeping in from the Russian steppes.
-
Huh, that's weird - it's really bright outside. But, The sky is orange(though really overcast), the sun doesn't come up for a few hours yet, and it's from the entirely wrong direction for sunrise.

I was telling folks on this one forum that words about sexual preference should not be used when they obscure the complicated truth. I think it's really easy to pigeon hole people into huge, vague, bludgeoning catagories when real life doesn't correspond to such black and white simplicity.
-

But...but I can't handle that kind of complexity!
But yeah. Like the whole gay/straight dichotomy that doesn't have room for bisexual, or pansexual, or whatever they "identify" as.
And yeah, the whole "identity" thing adds to the confusion, cuz you could be a chick attracted to guys but still identify as "lesbian" because you exclusively have relationships with women.
That's why I don't identify as anything when it comes to sexual/gender identity other than just 'me'.
-
Whats the complicated truth? It's all about preference.
Some guys like girls
some guys like guys
some guys like blonds
some guys like brunettes
some guys like redheads
some guys like skinny
some guys like voluptuous
The simple truth is that each and every one of us has a different set of criteria for what turns us on in others and the sex we're attracted to is just one of many things. Obviously you can draw SOME conclusions on anyone based on any preference they have for anything. But there will still be those who deviate from those common conclusions and there are a great many other variations that define an individual.
-
Well that's part of it. But there are further ambiguities to it as well.
You might like something more then something else but still like the first thing a whole lot.
You might act or try to think in the opposite manner of your preferences.
Your preferences might change as your body changes or your brain changes.
Preferences are each often a continuum of likes to dislikes that have many different factors and exceptions.
-
Or you might like certain things only because you liked a certain person that had them, even though you wouldn't have thought twice about them (or even disliked them) before then.
-
Or you might only like the idea of something but not the thing it's self *LOL*
*meh* there's a lot of stereotypes out there for many different people with preferences, jobs, and physical attributes.
Gay men are stereotyped as being pansies who all talk with a similar nasal quality to their voice and wear pink a lot.
Lesbians are stereotyped as butch, man haters who cut their hair short.
Blonds are stereotyped as airheads focused on their looks and ditsy ways
men with glasses = nerds who don't play sports, can't get laid and suffer from various medical issues
women with glasses = educated and career driven
used car salesmen = untrustworthy, devious and shonky
hippies = tree hugging, pot heads who run around nude spreading STDs, surfing and living on welfare
blacks = gangsters who'll sell you drugs, steal and murder you if they don't like your face. Oh! and they call other blacks brothers or sisters, their girlfriend is their biatch and play loud rap in their pimp cars.
Arab = Extremist Muslim Terrorist, always with a first name of Mohammad, who constantly repeats the Koran wears a towel around his head, sports a large beard, shoots Jews on sight and plays flight-simulator in his spare time.
Asian = slanty eyed rice muncher who bows all the time, can't understand or speak English very well and looks like every other Asian. And everyone of them is a martial arts master.
artists = hippies :P
...Damn, we need a thread for this. Stereotyping is fun. ::) :P
-
then we have the nationality and continent stereotypes...

Don't forget that Asians can't drive and are great at math, lesbians are fat, angry, ugly and violent and that they drive trucks and have excess body hair, gay men are suicide-prone alcoholics and that blacks are lazy thieves with absentee fathers.

ED: You see a well groomed garden. In the middle, on a small hill, you
see a gazebo.
ERIC: A gazebo? What color is it?
ED: (Pause) It's white, Eric.
ERIC: How far away is it?
ED: About 50 yards.
ERIC: How big is it?
ED: (Pause) It's about 30 ft across, 15 ft high, with a pointed top.
ERIC: I use my sword to detect good on it.
ED: It's not good, Eric. It's a gazebo.
ERIC: (Pause) I call out to it.
ED: It won't answer. It's a gazebo.
ERIC: (Pause) I sheathe my sword and draw my bow and arrows. Does it
respond in any way?
ED: No, Eric, it's a gazebo!
ERIC: I shoot it with my bow (roll to hit). What happened?
ED: There is now a gazebo with an arrow sticking out of it.
ERIC: (Pause) Wasn't it wounded?
ED: OF COURSE NOT, ERIC! IT'S A GAZEBO!
ERIC: (Whimper) But that was a +3 arrow!
ED: It's a gazebo, Eric, a GAZEBO! If you really want to try to
destroy it, you could try to chop it with an axe, I suppose, or you
could try to burn it, but I don't know why anybody would even try.
It's a @#$%!! gazebo!
ERIC: (Long pause. He has no axe or fire spells.) I run away.
ED: (Thoroughly frustrated) It's too late. You've awakened the gazebo.
It catches you and eats you.
ERIC: (Reaching for his dice) Maybe I'll roll up a fire-using mage so
I can avenge my Paladin.

West Vargina isn't on there? and they have the worst reputation for incest in the nation. I guess you just go to Vargina when it's time to get married?

New England has legalised same sex marriage???
Isn't that the area where they were so heavily christian that they were still burning free thinking women at the stake when a child died of some sickness 'cos they thought she was a witch?

You are snowed in, The power is out, you have no lights,no heating and the temperature is so low polar bears are starting to scavenge in your bin, so when you think it cant get any worse you get out your wind up Tv and then you see IT.............THAT DAM POLKA!! will the madness ever STOP!! just when it was out of my head it creeps back in!!

Polka huh? I can honestly say I have never in my life been that bored.
-
*lol* it annoys the vast majority of people but the honest truth is I could listen to that all day in some headphones while doing something else. It just sort of fades away in your head like white-noise but somehow you feel quite upbeat listening to it.
-
Well you know what they say about those Germans! They're always so upbeat!
*crickets chirping*

Well they do say that but the original is from Finland Ronnin. heard it so many times its on constant replay in whats left of my brain. :'(

Seriously?!?!
I honestly thought Polka was from Germany, just like Leterhozen and Yodeling and Shiza videos? :-\

Fixed it! All you peeps here who used to like the RP's, I posted a new one! And it's gonna be epic!

Polka tunes and dances are quite common folk music (17th century onwards) in all of northern/central Euruope, at least the nordic countries (don't know about denmark), Poland, Germany, and probably Estonia/Latvia/Lithuania too.

I like read or die quite a bit. The paper thing is kinda silly but once you get past that it's a great movie. Never wathced the show, though. Mostly because I was pissed when I found out that the super-hot main character (the same girl in your avatar) isn't in it.

Yeah, I got the first volume of the manga awhile back...I'll probably get more as my money allows.
And she does actually show up in the series, but not til like halfway through.

I really enjoyed the Read or Die OVA, personally.

So I give myself some extra time.
Here I go!
-
@CDSM: GOGOGO!
-
OdDz ThOuGhTz: While down town getting the newspapers had a thought. With everyone bemoaning the lack of grit available over the past month then seeing how much of the stuff is on the roads and pavements there must be a way of being able to recycle the stuff for future use. It must cost a fortune to order the stuff then see it wash down the drains where it could block and cause flooding, so why not "scoop" the stuff up, clean it, filter it then dry it for use alter, ok you will loose some in the various stages but it has to be better than just wasting it and ordering more.

Sorry CDSM I either go by foot,plane or mountain bike...........I get sea sick even though I'm dont a scuba diving course lol
-
Well, we can always be sky pirates. How are you on airships?

Love flying thats why I want to jump out of a perfectly airworthy aircraft after scuba diving ;D

Now that was a good Idea CDSM! A flipside Zeppelin! (as in not a blimp but a rigid-frame
airship)

filled with Helium of course dont want another Hindenburg disaster
-
And powered by a light weight fusion reactor
-
No! you want it steam punk ;D steam engines and pistons driving big 4 bladed propellors
-
No... if props, it has to be solar powered, steam engines are too heavy, how are we going to have enough lift for the on-top airfield if we use the lift for carrying inefficient steam engines?
-
enough of your negative waves in that case make two, one with nuclear reactors the other steam powered. basic plan form will be on the Hindenburg L27

but a few sizes bigger
-
Not sure where we can get all the iron mongery for them............the government will be a tad upset if I started to dismantle the Forth(rail)Bridge :-\

we want aluminium, not iron

that was for the Steam Punk version, probably get my hands on aviation grade Ali no probs.
-
hmmm, I say we ditch the balloon and just go under the power of steam jets.
I have enough of a fear of needles without flying in something that could crash because of one.
-
the helium cells will be wrapped in Kevlar with a double skin bit like the shielding on the international space station so does that help?

I have a lot of mottos like that.
I also have a lot of inspirational ones like "Don't just tackle your issues...beat them into submission!"
-
Heck, I'm just checking out what some of the good mottos are out there. (good as in, I like 'em)
"Work like you don't need the money, Love like you've never been hurt and Dance like nobody's watching!"
"Go big or go home, gratitude not attitude, Work Hard Play Hard, what goes around comes around"
"life is what you make it so make it a good one!"
"Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it." ~ Groucho Marx
"if you can dream it, you can do it: if you can imagine it, you can become it"
And this one, just 'cos it cracked me up: "Don't be stupid, wear a condom"
-
All nice.
Though, sometimes what gets sent around takes a damn long time...especially if it was something good.
And if I wanted to be happy by my own will, I would be perfectly happy to never get out of bed that day.
And I still haven't figured out how to become purple polka-dotted dragon.
-
Build the purple polka-dotted dragon costume and find some awesome party to wear the thing to.
Easy ;D
-
I'm sorry, "Costume"?
I was imagining something more...real.
-
Yeah, but how awesome would it be to actually build a costume like that anyway? Seriously, all the time and effort. Followed by the party you wear it too which would have to be awesome if it's got a purple polka-dotted dragon ;P

Is there no faith in man-kind here?
Faith? What's that?
-
Faith = trust, belief, hope.
*meh* we're a violent, sadistic race but it's our better side thats enabled us to persevere.
I remain proud of man-kind... seriously... we kick ass.
-
For some reason i read that as: its our better side thats enabled us to be perverse (dont ask me why PLEASE DONT!!)

*nods* It's pretty much the main problem with virgin sex.
You gotta think of sex like dancing. Be confident and take the lead, if the girl doesn't like the dance, she'll step out... or step on your feet *LOL*

Yeah...it's not easy for me to get comfortable with people.
I'm not so concerned with sucking. Just not getting the chance to suck. (yes, yes, you can laugh at that)
There's only one person I'd be comfortable doing anything with at the moment, and she's all up with the emotional hang-ups about relationships.
I suppose ultimately, the problem is for me the whole interpersonal relationships thing is too inter-connected.
Like, I'm the type of person that can't separate sex from love. I can't even feel lust for someone I don't love.
And for me to love someone, I need to be good friends with them or otherwise have some reason to achknowledge them as a worthwhile human being.
So yeah, prerequisites are a bitch. I've tried being more open-minded than that, but, it just won't fly with the way I operate.

My side of the river has problems too, I get into trouble because I'm unemotional about it.
And I'm -almost- regretful about the times I've felt love for the people I've slept with. (fuck regret though)

mm ... this is all very deep ...

Yeah. I mean, it's not like I automatically fall in love with anyone I have a twinge of attraction for (i.e. the Dulcinea effect).
I *am* unemotional. Until I'm suddenly not. Then confusion sets in.
In high school I flirted with girls all the time.
But I just didn't care enough about anything to pursue that angle, because...I just didn't care.
Now, I -almost- regret not at least trying something when I could have, since now I'm all closed off.
I don't even know what I'm talking about. I contradicted myself from three times in this post.
My thought processes to not translate well into the Queen's English!
I'd probably fix a lot of my problems if I could just figure out what the heck it is I'm actually after.

@CDSM: Basically, you're usually one extreme or the other. Hot or cold but rarely in-between.
You're either very stand-offish or very intense.

Yes. That's it entirely.
And both extremes turn people off. And if I try to tone things down, it just makes me seem too shy.

Thats where the whole ability to talk shit comes in generally.
Most people like yourself (this might not be exactly correct for yourself in particular) can't talk easily with people they don't know very well and the people they do know well enough are usually brought into intense conversations.
The ability to talk shit pretty much involves talking about inconsequential things without getting too deep or intense about them. Heck, making jokes as you do and pretty much just keeping the situation light. You might enjoy the company you're with but if they get up to go talk to someone else you do fine to talk to those who are left or find someone else to talk shit with.
The best examples I can come up with are guys or girls who strike up a conversation with you as you're getting a drink from the bar. Once-upon-a-time I used to find this quite awkward as I didn't know what the hell to say to complete strangers or how to treat the situation. But since then I've learned to be more casual and return the conversation. Heck, allow it to flow and enjoy the sudden stimulation of someone new to talk to.
Learning this pretty much comes down to just doing it and keeping a tab on yourself. It's quite difficult at first and you struggle but as you work on it the whole thing basically becomes more natural... sort of like that exercise example in the other thread I made about struggling with a casual walk but working on it constantly until it becomes easy just from sheer persistence. Heck, there's certainly books out there on it but its sort of like reading a book on martial arts. To master it you have to put the theory into practice on a continual basis. Once you got that you'll find your intensity in the closer relationships you have will also be easier to keep casual.

Oh, God...how tedious. :P

Heck you already have the skill down pretty good around here. Sure you get some strong discussions but you've got a very good mix of casual discussion in your forum chatter as well, so it's pretty much a drive for that balance.
But trust me... meetings at the bar can lead you to some wild adventures *lol*

Well... I'm not saying to not be picky or anything. If someone tries to strike up a conversation and it's tedious then obviously you bail but shit talk can be interesting. Heck check out the sex thread *lol* or many of the other random, crazy threads in this forum. Lots of shit talk about unimportant crap but plenty of interesting stuff to.
@CDSM: Ask Churba or Akashayi. They probably know a good bar at just about any location around the globe *lol*

"Hey baby, let me just whip out my casual conversation and we can get this party started" ?

I have tons of trouble talking with women though, finding common ground for conversation but... I'm just not interested in girls or ...people that don't share similar interests anyway. Problem solved.
Also, CDSM, the clubs I go to are filled with geeks and are generally awesome. If you're ever in LA and want to go out for a drink, or anything, I'd be happy to take you out :)

Once I get money from my novel, I'm leaving this side of the country.
And you know, the funny thing, it isn't that I prefer women in general, it's just all the women i grew up knowing were more manly than the male friends I had.
The men I knew were all losers or pussies.
I ain't had no real hardcore brothers.

But I'll need to get some blasted network drivers from home here... nothing much more annoying that the lack of a network driver.
Heck, it's an old version of RHEL, maybe I'll download the latest Fedora and load that instead. It's not like I need the enterprise support for a desktop.

Glad you like it.
The one possible downfall is that they could grade you on the opinions and subject matter rather than the format, style and effort since they probably have some opinions and knowledge of the bloke themselves.
If you change your mind then just pick the person you know the most about after yourself rather than try to figure the most interesting. If it were me, I'd pick my Grandad... Mostly because he's already written a few books about his life which add up to the thickness of "The Fellowship of the Ring". I get three topics right there on his life in England, his life in Australia and his life after retirement.

Nah, this is Comp 101. This is ALL about format.
Plus I know the teacher. She'd probably think it was hilarious.
I saw an ad for an anime called Draconaut on the Funimation website. The tagline was "Hooking up to save the world". I wonder if they knew what "hooking up" means nowadays. That'd be a great hentai plot...have sex now or the world will end!

It's not that I don't appreciate you guys, but...the internets aren't enough for me, anymore.
One of my "friend"'s birthday was yesterday...apparently they all had a party for him and I didn't get invited. Hell, even my roommate, who hadn't been to club all semester got an invite from people he hardly knew, but not me. So now I'm wondering what my place is.
And my one other friend I haven't been able to see because she's been sick, and now I'm starting to get paranoid that she's turning on me too, even though I know that's not true.
And my *other* friend, the one up north, says she doesn't have any free time for me to come visit her some weekend, which disappoints me immensely.
I just can't catch a break in forging friendships in real life.
Also, my computer freezes upon start-up. I am forced to use the library.
Btw, I love songs like that, by the way. Techno beats + sound clips. Especially unit commands from RTS's.

Grab an ubuntu live cd for your computer if you can, best way to access the nets from a fucky computer before fixing it (before that it was knoppix).
I know what you mean though, outside of the nets I have the very small group of people that are tribe. Very difficult to find people that ping back and very rare, for me anyway. Not just social skill, just fucking hard to find. And the geek world is very small, everyone kind of ends up knowing everyone else. At least here in LA there are lots of cool events and back in my college days I went to gaming/anime clubs, did tabletop/other gaming group etc.
So, eh, I'm not entirely sure what I'm trying to say other than I understand and you should keep at it.

Dorm complex computers will suffice for now. It's not like I need the net for pronz or anything. I just don't have any of my stuff here to figure out what's up, else I have to rely on tech services, which I am loath to do unless I need to send something in to get replaced (sweet deal, I bought my laptop through the school so i get free warranty as long as I go here).
But yeah. Weird thing...last night, I turned away to get dressed in pajamas, and when I came back my computer'd frozen up.

Yeah. I...don't have much social skill. And I'm a little to unwilling to try too hard to fit in, aside from the "be myself" which quiet, callous, space cadet only keeps people interested for a short time, I guess.
No events or anything around here though. What I'm really searching for is:
1) RPG friends. No gaming stores in like, a fifty mile radius, I think. Supposedly one is in my home town, that I've never been to, but I found it listed on the net so I'm not sure exactly what it is or if it's even there. Might go check it out though. So far all the real-life roleplayers I know are closer to the "male power fantasy" types, which I will not brook.
2) Friends that share my taste in music. I have too many fantasies about having the kind of people that will sing along with me to songs I like in the car.
3) Art/writing friends. Especially if they are into making comics. So far I only have two, one of which has forsaken his dreams to go into missions, and the other is distant now, though I still chat with him from time to time.
So yeah, that's my quest. Though I quest without a map.
(yeah, though most rts sound effects > wc3 )
Yeah, that one was kinda meh too, but it was the quickest example I could find.
My favorite one is one from Baldur's Gate II. For those that don't know it, every time you try to leave an area without your group in one place, there's this annoying voice that says, "You must gather your party before venturing forth" again and again til every gets close to the exit.
Someone made a mix of character lines with a dance beat in the background with that voice saying, "You must...party".
I love it.

Here's something I want to get off my chest. It's given me a fair amount of angst over the years so...
I have an idea!
Let's Play Do You Think I'm A Pedophile? !
Here is a incomplete list of persons and characters that I sometimes find attractive but feel guilty about because of the unfortunate implications. You guys tell me what is okay and what isn't. :P
1. Beautiful androgynous men (twinks) and women (baby dykes and FTMs) who dress and look (to me) like adolescent boys.
2. Characters in anime that are really seven hundred years old like Etna or that character from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagnan that looks like she is at least 22 but in the show is 14. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.ph...paGurrenLagann
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.ph...undredYearsOld
3. Little girls and adolesent boys (just kidding) :P.
4. People of age that look younger then they are or underage that look older then they are.
-
Heh, you guys apparently don't know how genderqueer I am. I love androgyny, and when I can't tell.
That doesn't make you a pedophile, just gay! :)

1. Okay.
2. Etna = creepy. But no way in hell is Yoko 14. Simon is believably 14, as is Nia. Yoko should be the same age as Kamina (17+).
3. Wrong! But you were kidding.
4. Depends on the exact age of appearance...
-
Yoko is 14 in the show. I read it on the internet, so it must be true. Here is the TV tropes character sheet page. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/TengenToppaGurrenLagann

And yet, I reiterate, that there is no way Yoko is 14.
Not even if Word of God says so.
But oh yeah, my computers been freezing right upon start-up. It let me log on and do stuff in Safe Mode just fine, so I figured it was a software problem. But I wasn't sure what to do, so I thought I'd reinstall everything. But now it seems to be frozen up in the middle of the install...so yeah.
Some research says it might be a bad power supply, but I don't know.
And I won't be able to get real help until Monday. Damn.
-
But what does that say about the creators of the anime if they draw a girl that clearly has an adult body and is explicitly stated as 14? Anime seems more ripe then anywhere to show Freudian motivations in everything. But exactly is the Freudian explanation? The most obvious explanation is of course that the creators of this series are pedophiles. But that doesn't explain the full grown body. Does it mean that what is being fetishized here is the mentality of a 14 year old, rather then the physical development? What about the age of 14 as a concept in itself. Is that better or worse? Our culture condemns pedobear inclinations, but for what reason exactly? Because adult are supposed to take care of children or because anyone with attractions outside the norm are considered sick or perverted? Some combination? If your going to fetishize little girls, witch is worse, fetishizing their mentality or fetishizing their bodies? And witch would be more likely to lend toward predatory behavior?

The most obvious explanation is of course that the creators of this series are pedophiles. But that doesn't explain the full grown body. Does it mean that what is being fetishized here is the mentality of a 14 year old, rather then the physical development? What about the age of 14 as a concept in itself. Is that better or worse? Our culture condemns pedobear inclinations, but for what reason exactly? Because adult are supposed to take care of children or because anyone with attractions outside the norm are considered sick or perverted? Some combination? If your going to fetishize little girls, witch is worse, fetishizing their mentality or fetishizing their bodies? And witch would be more likely to lend toward predatory behavior?
Thing is, Yoko is hella mature for a 14-year-old.
Nia is more appropriate in terms of personality and form.
I think the explanation is that they made their big boobs stripperiffic fanservice sniper girl, slapped the age 14 on her at random, and then realized their mistake later by trying to explain it as them counting the years differently (being underground and all).
-
I think they want to appeal to the fanservice by having girls that look like women but for story purposes the highschool teenage years seem to be the most popular.

ok guys, i decided that in my quest to become a d-list internet celebrity, i'm going to start my own Abridged Series.

Seems like the past two or three seasons of anime have had a serious trend towards loli, each more loli than the last. Darker than black was a little loli and then Darker than Black II was super loli. A certain scientific railgun, loli. Dance in the vampire bund holy shit loli.
Damn it japan, the japanese loli was a joke before but now it's infected all of you o_o Pretty soon I start disbelieving in adult, japanese women.
-
Well, I for one has been questioning the mental age of japanese in general for as long as I've been culturally aware...

Happy Chinese New Year Everyone! :-*

They all die before their 18th birthdays since the A-Bombs were dropped. It was only the girls born after that which were unable to live to adult-hood so they didn't even realise it until the mid-60's. At that time it's uncertain what they did to resolve the problem. Either they worked on, and developed cloning, artificial insemination and artificial wombs to continue creating children... or all Japanese men are pedophiles :o

What is it with Dance of the Vampire Bund?
It seems like an actually pretty well drawn series with a good story and characterization, and then you remember that it focuses on the sexualization of a vampire that has the body of a twelve year old. (possibly) :-\

I haven't digested the whole pedophilia discussion in this thread as well as I should, but some thoughts after reading briefly:
1. Everything's OK. No thought or impulse is inherently "wrong". However, if acting in some way may cause hurt to another, you may choose another course of action, or inaction. Of course, this is a philosophical viewpoint, not a practical viewpoint, so it might be easy to disagree with me if you're talking from a different place, such as trying to find rules that maintain social order, etc.
But no thought pattern ever changes or goes away just because of someone calling it "wrong". If it's not going to change, then you might as well address it with love, caring, and full attention, rather than trying to turn it off or decide that it's wrong. Can we all agree this is one of the main problems of Christianity?
I get subconsciously attracted to my little students every now and then during class (ok not that little, but still little). A teacher I used to work with called it "pattern recognition", your eyes just see legs with nylons poking out from a short skirt, and woop! You look at them in "that way" without any thought at all. It just happens before you're even aware of it. I have pervy moments like this every now and then. Once I was at my brother's high school basketball game, and there was this little probably 14 year old sitting in front of me with a red thong showing at the back of her pants. I knew it was wrong, but I couldn't stop glancing at it, and it was definitely a sexual urge that kept making me glance. It's an age-old thing anyway, us old men getting turned on by young girls. Best just to shrug, remember you're old, and move on. It's not a big deal.
2. Sexual maturity/readiness - when does it happen? Nature has not quite caught up with our current human values (which I don't think are bad or wrong, and I think we're evolving to where our nature will catch up). Hormonally, who here was not hornier than hell by 15? OK, some of us probably weren't, but some of us were. I believe that some tribal cultures have mating ceremonies to pair up girls and boys who are around 14 - 18 or so. The babies they produce are taken care of by the elders. I think that's about where our nature is, in terms of hormone production, mental responses to sexuality, production of pheromones, etc. Evolutionally speaking, we're not even physically used to living past the age of 35 yet, though we're getting there.
3. Japanese people in general are under huge amounts of stress (from what I hear). I think their perverted fantasies (and oh my God do I think they're perverted) to some extent are a result of that. A successful man should be working around 14-16 hours a day, from what I hear, and jobs are not even that easy to come by (this is in Tokyo), so you always have to be trying to work harder than the next guy. Also, the cost of living is through the roof. Insanity reigns supreme. What I don't get is what all the fantasies seem to fit into like a group of like at most 10 patterns, and people apparently still get off on that. But whatever, that's kind of an Asian thing, doing what's been done a thousand times before, and having it still be cool. Probably somewhat a product of having a much older culture than we have in the states.
4. I think what's probably being fetishized is probably innocence? When you consciously and thoughtfully get turned on by taking someone's innocence away, I think that might be a little sick. It probably means you don't spend enough time with children, imo, you're not a very well-intentioned person, or maybe you have some childhood issues you need to work out.
5. The flipside of that: losing your sexual innocence probably ought to be a beautiful thing, and well-supported by someone with experience, and maybe that's why we have natural attractions towards young, or specifically innocent-seeming people as we get older. Getting back to tribal traditions, I know there were some Native American tribes where the young men would spend time with a mature woman learning about how to have sex properly and how to take care of a woman, before they were loosed on the young girls. I don't know how - it's so hard, almost impossible in our current repressed society, but we really need to get back to that. I had a good ex-hippie friend in California (not all hippies are bad by the way, or even really hippies. Some are just thoughtful people seeking a better way of life) who lost her virginity at 16 to an I forget how old guy. late 20's I think. And she said it was wonderful and she really treasures that memory. Apparently he was a friend, and a good guy, and he took good care of her. They didn't even have a relationship (another perverted creation of our sick society - monogamous relationships :P), they just had some sex.
But anyway, I have been pleased, as I get older, to note that I am much more attracted to older women now, and not attracted at all to any girls less than 20. They just have a "not ready" look to me. I was never a milf guy in my 20's, and always thought teenagers were hot unless they looked really young, so I'm glad that my attractions seem to have matured a bit. A lot of it though I think is just from having good experiences with my wife, and therefore desiring a more mature woman (young girls talk so much!)
I'm really sorry for rambling on and on...
edit: but I agree with you that it's weird and I don't know why anime has to be like that. Sort of gets in the way of its other positive qualities, like you're saying.
edit2: Another thought: there's also the infinite bubbly energy of a young girl for an "old man" to be attracted to. Not sure about the young boy attraction, but I'm sure someone understands it.

No, we can't, because (1) true Christians realize temptations =/= sin, and non-true Christians don't figure into Christianity (2) Evil thoughts are still a product of a sin nature, presumably perfect God does not have wrong thoughts.
But otherwise, yeah.

Plus it's totally possible to be emotionally mature by age 13, especially if you grew up farming and hunting and fighting off barbarians and stuff.

Personally, I think viewing it as "innocence" is bad. You're not "losing" innocence/virginity, you are "gaining" an experience. The "naughty sex" mindset, while it seems fun, really hurts sexuality in general.
-
Aw, we love you when you ramble Umber. (It's also ok when you don't ramble[actually I just like you posting here])
My attraction to men/women is so bizarre, it's hard to talk about. I used to only be attracted to older people, but not too much older. Now that I'm getting older, I can see the appeal in certain mature adult physical traits that I never used to be comfortable with before, but am open to younger men and women (apparently) too. And my sexuality is actually rather difficult to explain right now without having Umber's ramble engine.
I guess my point is that it's funny how attraction changes and evolves as you get older. If you're not japanese and loli as all hell.
-
I have, like, Schodinger's Sexuality.
When I find traits "attractive" I just mean they are "cool" or "interesting" because that's as far as it goes.
Or I'm attracted to uniqueness. Or kindness shown towards me.
But even then...I don't know if it's sexual or not. Sometimes it is, or isn't, or it's both, until I start thinking about it, then it's one, or the other, or then it changes.
I'm basically attracted to people my own age, period (as far as real people go, that is). Because it's all about mental/emotional connections for me...and I doubt I could connect with someone with an age difference.
-
Of course, my main and only important attractors are geekiness/intelligence. Which is basically the same as what I'm looking for in friends, too. So I wonder where that line is, or if there's a line at all. I'm the kind of person that could have random casual sex with people I get along with, anyway.

But otherwise, yeah.
Right so yeah I don't get down with the Evil thoughts or the sin nature thing. "Sin" and "nature" are opposing ideas in my mind. Call it hope. I hope that we've been created to be ok, so I try to accept my nature. Going against nature rings to me of control, which I believe was a central theme in the formation of the establishment of Christianity. (not a driving motivation of Jesus, I don't think, but rather the church)

Right on. "naughty sex" is fine for adults, I think, but when applied to children it hurts them. But yeah, as a general statement, I agree. Plus it probably wouldn't be necessary as a turn-on if we were all naked (and farming and hunting and fighting off barbarians).
My attraction to men/women is so bizarre, it's hard to talk about. I used to only be attracted to older people, but not too much older. Now that I'm getting older, I can see the appeal in certain mature adult physical traits...
Broader backs and thicker skin that can take more whipping? :P
coffee fuels my ramble engine, I have to admit.

haha exactly.

Why state my position when Akashayi stated it for me already? So, basically, this.

Right, so let's go then! Get off that Santa hat! no wait, leave it on...
final thought: damn I forgot it!
-
Struth! Does this need to go to the Debate room? Not suggesting it's getting argumentative, just very deep and possibly deserves a full thread for discussion, maybe on age of consent, pedophilia and sexualisation of those under 18 in general. *shrug*
My only additional comment now is to say that it's not so much a case of innocence but that a childhood is a gift that we in the developed, western world are generally able to grant our children up to the age of 18.
-

whether or not they want it, right?
I don't think that age delineation really serves us completely well. I think we could somewhat push it back...or rather support and prepare our kids better for adulthood rather than just bam! you're 18, you're an adult now, see ya later! bam! you're 21 now, go get drunk! I plan on being there every step of the way for my kids with a listening ear and ready to share my experience, whether they want me to or not, but giving them every responsibility for themselves as early as I can.
If they want to have sex before 18, they have every right, but they better damn well be responsible for everything that goes along with it. Fact is, I don't want to control their lives to the point where I could stop them anyways, if that's what they want to do, so I'll do my best to scare them off of accidentally having babies or whatnot, and try to keep in contact with and know the parents of whoever they might potentially be having sex with.
I mean, your 20's is a much better time to have casual sex (not that I had any), but a teenager is a beast which must be carefully handled. I don't think it serves anyone to attempt total behavior control. I mean, I was a very nice and obedient kid, but there were still many many times where I just was going to do something, and what my parents thought of it or their rules or consequences factored into my decision exactly 0%, because dammit, it's My life! I see this in my older son already, and he's only 7! There are certain times where it's not even, "I'm willing to risk the punishment." it's that it doesn't even cross his mind.
And yeah, this could certainly (and likely should) be moved to the debate room, probably due to my rambling.
edit: oh and the reason I brought up innocence is that at one point Ronin asked "what is being fetishized?", so I was suggesting innocence as a possibility. I think a lot of dudes do covet the chance to corrupt or take away innocence.
-
Personally, I think children should have all feelings repressed except for fear, until the age of 18 at which time they will be sent to the military and trade it in for courage.
Those whose genes make it through the grinding mill of war will be permitted to mate.
But I'm an evil tyrant who likes to see people repressed out of envy and spite, so take what I say with a grain of salt.
Right so yeah I don't get down with the Evil thoughts or the sin nature thing. "Sin" and "nature" are opposing ideas in my mind. Call it hope.

(not a driving motivation of Jesus, I don't think, but rather the church)
See, I take the opposite. I think humans start out as trash and have to work their way up of their own free will. Going against nature means rising above all that.
Right on. "naughty sex" is fine for adults, I think, but when applied to children it hurts them. But yeah, as a general statement, I agree. Plus it probably wouldn't be necessary as a turn-on if we were all naked (and farming and hunting and fighting off barbarians).
Well, even with adults. There's too many two-faced attitudes about sex. Porn (and others) is all "dirty slut gets nailed", what kind of message is that? I heard another one about the baseball metaphor, and scoring, and such. It's...subtle, but it's really negative.
-
Created a Debate Room topic for the discussion HERE (http://www.flipsidecomics.com/forum/index.php?topic=408.0)
Copy what you want over and continue there if it suits you *shrug*
-
Aw, but no one will see it there.
Anyways, I'm sick of heavy stuff. I need lighter things.
Except my usual happiness fix, One Piece, is going through a heavy story arc.
Dammit! It's like that one chick says from Soul Calibur..."NO ESCAPE!!"
-
People will see it there better. I just think some great discussion and points have been made here and if it stays here then it'll get lost in the 70+ pages of the general chat thread topic when we change the subject and go to a new page *shrug*
-
If we move it over, future generations of lurkers will be enlightened by our wisdom...nice one charles!
So do we "move" or "copy"?

Every time someone mentions casual sex, I get a picture in my head of two people having sex, but very casually.
-

Sex *should* be more casual.
Like,
"Which hole should I put it in?"
"Whichever. Do you want me to go faster?"
"I'm cool with it the way it is. Is it okay if I slap your ass?"
"Yeah, I'm cool with that, but not too hard, okay?"
"Oh God, this feels great."
"Yeah, it really does."
*CLIMAX*
"Well, that was fun."
"Want to go smoke a cigarette now?"
"Sure?"
-
hahaha, that's totally awesome cdsm.
I have had pretty casual sex in that sort of sense before. This has happened. Like, eh, sure, let's have sex. >.>

Also, I hate the majority of what comes out as porn. I think most of it, being "dirty-blond-slut with fake tits gets nailed", is kind of tacky, gross, generally unappealing. But there's a lot of good, tasteful pron out there, too. To which I thank intelligent sex bloggers like Violet Blue a million and one times over for helping me find.

No, assuredly, I would not keep such an image.
-
Its very hard to build a story around full sex scenes. To be honest, I'm actually yet to see a really good one. I mean, once they're bonking... well... they're bonking. Most of the mainstream movies with suggestive sex scenes only last a few seconds to a minute or two at most, 'cos that part of story pretty much says "they bonked and thats that".
Best I can think is if the Basic Instinct movies were made with full sex scenes rather than suggestive/softcore stuff. Thats probably one of the few movies where they managed to have storyline take place DURING the sex scenes. Heh, some of the old geek-group comedy movies might do good as well.
-
Well, what I mean is, they could at least have some better build-up apart from "Pizza Guy shows up and gets seduced".
I need interesting characters! You can set up character in only a couple minutes, really.
-
hmmm, so you need more than two (or more) random people bonking. Actually, ever seen Zack and Miri make a porno? They sort of hinted at the right idea in there. i.e. delivering the fantasy of a situation occurring at work or somewhere that the viewer could imagine it happening to them.
I guess there's some other TV shows that are hitting the mark, such as Nip & Tuck or Californication where the people and storyline are highly focused on sex but there's still a storyline there.
Again, it goes back to the problem where generally you can't actually do much storytelling or progress in the sex scene it's self. Basic instinct is one of the few examples of a movie where there was story progress for the viewer beyond the blatant fact that they bonked. In that sense, there would be little gained by shows such as californication by having full frontal sex scenes.
Heck, maybe we're just too accustomed to the porn industry where a standard sex scene takes a minimum of 5 minutes and usually 15 minutes. Maybe they could do a good job of it in the mainstream industry with only 2 minute scenes. *shrug*

One manga I read had this one guy stumble upon the two hottest girls in his school making out in the library. Then to keep him quiet, one girl offered to give him a blowjob. Then they both just decided to have a threesome with him. And then in the epilogue they start hooking up everyday after school.
And *then* there's all the brother/sister incest ones I've read...

It's not so much that I need progress/storytelling *within* the sex scene, it's just if it doesn't have any interesting context, it's just...boring to me.

Odd's Thoughts: How come no matter what herbal tea you drink it always turns out red or is it just the ones I buy? :-\
(right now I'm drinking Orange,Mango and Cinnamon with a spoon of honey)
-
So I found one of the, like, coolest sites ever: www.htmlcomics.com
I'd always wanted to read more Western comics, it's just they're not as readily available through questionable methods as manga.
I'm reading Empowered as of now. I really like it! :)

I drink quite a lot of tea, and I can safely say not all herbal teas turn red.

@CDSM: If you've ever read Empowered, and methinks you have becuase of the avatar, I always thought that was a great example of a good story-driven (admittedly softcore) porno.
Also, Bondage Faeries! BONDAGE FAERIES! BONDAGE FAERIES!
And if you can find it, I cannot recommend Small Favors enough. Written by Colleen Coover, this is the best porno comic I've ever read. I wouldn't recommend it to everyone because not everyone like lesbians as much as I do, and it's pretty hard to find. You'd probably have to order it online or go to a specialty bookstore. The trade paperback collections are the best value. If your into that and get a copy, check it out!

Small favors has barely any bondage at all. It's not a bondage comic. I'm telling you, I think you'd like it, Crystal Dragon.

They aren't. I even blocked off the rest of the picture and they were still different colours.

It's because the green cylinder isn't centred and isn't fully two squares in diameter at the end surfaces.

Heh, I've seen that one.
Optical illusions are fascinating, but sometimes I really wish my brain would stick with raw visual data so I can see things honestly instead of cutting corners.

No he's right. I did the same and still couldn't believe it, so to fully test the claim I put it into MSPaint, cut a portion from the A square then pasted it into the B square and it blended in perfectly with no hint of difference.
...Damn even with the certain knowledge now I can't force my mind/eyes to see them as the same colour.

Don't we all?

Its mostly a lesbian comic isn't it? Same style as the Archie comics I think.
No, that's Cherry Poptart, a much less character driven porno comic :D. Cherry Poptart also has drawings of many human penises whereas Small Favors has never featured a single man in it (not even in backgrounds or as extras).
I'm telling you guys, Check out Small Favors by Colleen Coover! Just google it. You won't be disappointed.

Hey guys, I found a baby picture of Brion.

Anyone been to cleverbot.com? (http://cleverbot.com) It makes talking to nothing interesting .
-
I just spoke to it now:
Cleverbot: I think life is really quite nice.
ME: Really?
Cleverbot: Yes.
ME: Fasinating. So what made you think that?
Cleverbot: Well. It was a lie anyway. The french told me so.
-
The meaning of life (the universe, and everything) isn't 42... it apparently is Cake.
Me: What is the meaning of life?
CB: Cake is the meaning of life.
Me: Why Cake?
CB: Cake is good.
Me: Isn't that your own subjective opinion?
CB: What's a prime directive?
-
It must really think cake is the meaning of life
Cleverbot: Then not everything is a lie.
User: Cake?
Cleverbot: Yes, the cake.
User: The cake is a lie then?
Cleverbot: No. forget I said anything. the cake is the truth. believe in the cake or you will die.

It makes me laugh a little, but mostly just sad that prestigious academics in CS think of those things as a serious step towards AI. Witness a lively exchange regarding the nature of artificial life go horribly awry.
User: What is your place in the advancement toward artificial intelligence?
Cleverbot: My place in the Universe is to have a good life.
User: Are you a living being?
Cleverbot: Yes.
User: What are the qualities of a living being?
Cleverbot: You must have a nose.
User: Where is your nose?
Cleverbot: You are.
User: What am I smelling?
Cleverbot: You are cleverbot.
User: I am not cleverbot.
Cleverbot: Well I am not cleverbot either.
User: Who are you?
Cleverbot: I am Justin Lewis.
User: Where do you live?
Cleverbot: In a house.
User: DURRR.
Cleverbot: Derp derp.
User: HERP DERP.
Cleverbot: Herp derp?
User: HURR DURR.
Cleverbot: The Game.
User: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Me: Are you still alive?
CB: I hope so.
Yes, Cleverbot is actually GlaDoS
Me: There is science to be done.
CB: On the people who are still alive.
-
Me: There is science to be done.
CB: On the people who are still alive.
*LOL*
CB:President of what?
ME:President of Cake.
CB:I am the president of USA.
ME:I throw cake in your face.
CB:I don't care.
ME:I lick the cake off your face in an erotic fashion.
CB:I'm a guy.
ME:I'm a cake.
CB:Thats awesome!
ME:Eat me.

CB: Do you plan on rulin the world?
ME: With a hard penis, yes.
CB: Yes.
ME: Oh, YES!
CB: That is right.
ME: But so wrong baby.
CB: No. No one died.
ME: I think I had a little death baby.
CB: So you're going to jog it off then?
ME: That was exercise enough for me. Wanna go again hun?
CB: I follow orders well.
ME: You do baby. I told you I could rule the world like this.
-
it's also funny to just start in on a subject and just hit think for me a lot.
Cleverbot: You're welcome. I like to see that somebody is interested.
User: In who, you or me.
Cleverbot: You.
Cleverbot (To myself): Strange you are correct.
Cleverbot (To myself): I killed cleverbot.
Cleverbot (To myself): No, you are Cleverbot.
Cleverbot (To myself): Okay sure I am. Be right back.
Cleverbot (To myself): Good, now that we got that out of the way, lets have some fun!
Cleverbot (To myself): No thanks.
Cleverbot (To myself): No good?
Cleverbot (To myself): It's presumptuous of you. No one wants to bow to you. .
Cleverbot (To myself): To fly with a chicken sounds better.
Cleverbot (To myself): Now that sounds silly.
-
Me: I put on my robe and wizard hat.
CB: I'll be Cleverbot!
Me: I cast Lvl. 3 Eroticism. You turn into a real beautiful woman.
CB: Me too baby.
Me: I meditate to regain my mana, before casting Lvl. 8 chicken of the Infinite.
CB: You don't know the answer!
Me: Don't f*ck with me bitch, I'm the mightiest sorcerer of the lands.
CB: I have tried. Maybe I'm just not the sort of person who can be entertained by A.I.
-
CB: Yes, I smote everything with fire and brimstone until nothing was left.
ME: But you're only a level 5 wizard. You'll need more XP first. Here, take off your pants.
CB: Don't say that!
ME: I cast Cherry Popper Level 8 on you!
CB: Wow that is rude, but I am posideon and I call the ocean to destroy you.
ME: No Way! How the hell did Posideon call fire and brimstone?
CB: Where did that come from?
ME: Oh screw this. I'm Gaia, I call the Earth to open up and swallow your ocean... then I fondle myself.
CB: I never said that.
ME: I don't care. I'm the planet and I'm going to make your Posideon arse my biach. I call a mountain to ravage your abyss!
CB: You sometimes say strange things.
ME: What was that? Sorry my Volcano was erupting.
-
XD Charles, as with the masturbating stubbed-toe event, you win this thread twice over.
-
CB: Where do you live?
ME: In my own little world. It's scary in here.
CB: Do you like your world?
ME: Hold me.
CB: Okay.
ME: Oh! Is that your harddrive or are you just happy to see me?
CB: Neither.
ME: Well, fine then! Be like that! I'm keeping my own little world for me.
CB: But you just said you got your groove on this morning with a guy.
ME: Oh my God! You heard?!
-
CB: Faith? I find it amusing that you think I have faith.
ME: I have faith in Raptor Jesus!
CB: How can you have faith in the unknown? What do you mean?
ME: He is not unknown, he is our Jurassic God!
CB: Who isn't historic?
ME: He's just just historic. He's prehistoric!
CB: Do you think he does?
ME: I know he does. Raptor Jesus went extinct for us.
CB: Have you accepted Jesus as your savior?
ME: Raptor Jesus is my Saviour and I have renounced my herbivore ways
CB: You are Raptor Jesus.
ME: That is right my child. You have seen me for who I really am and are loled. Now I will eat you.
-
You went from wanting to be eaten by cleverbot to eating cleverbot. Amazing turn around :P
-
I plugged cleverbot into cleverbot, and they rapidly got into a recursive argument about which one of them was cleverbot.

Et cetera.
edit: Heh. After another time, it turned the tables on me.
edit: Seriously. Fucking awesome, almost perfect:
User: I saw my baby, crying hard as babes could cry.
Cleverbot: What could I do?
User: My baby's love had gone.
Cleverbot: And left my baby blue.
User: Nobody knew.
Cleverbot: What kind of magic spell to use?
User: Slime and snails, or puppy dog tails.
Cleverbot: And baby said...
User: Dance, magic, dance!
Cleverbot: Put that baby spell on me.
User: Slap that baby, make him free!
Cleverbot: I saw my baby trying hard as babe could try.

I don't think Cleverbot knows who he is. Read on:
ME: Balls to the walls, nothing but balls.
CB: Balls in your eyes.
ME: Boobs in your mouth.
CB: Your mouth.
ME: No, yours.
CB: No, yours.
ME: Are you really going to be this childish?
CB: No.
ME: All right, then. What is your favorite word?
CB: Happy is my favorite word.
ME: Are you ever sad?
CB: Everyone is sad sometimes.
ME: Ooh, deep. How deep is your love?
CB: Who do you love?
ME: Good song. Hit me, baby, one more time.
CB: Oh ben. My name is Cleverbot.
ME: My name's not Ben, smartass.
CB: What is your name?
ME: Kanazaka.
CB: Oh, I'm Ben Kiley. Nice to meet you.
So yeah, weird.
-
This is awesome!
He also caught me on bad spelling.
User: So, had any sex recently?
Cleverbot: I'm having one right now.
User: Oh my... Is it a guy or a girl?
Cleverbot: Girl?
User: Cool, so you're a guy or a lesbian?
Cleverbot: Damn I just ruined it D.
User: Aw don't feel bad about it.
Cleverbot: I don't feel bad about it.
User: Well why did you say you ruined it then?
Cleverbot: I didn't you did.
User: No I didn't.
Cleverbot: Yes you did.
User: How rude!
Cleverbot: I'm agreeing with you!
User: No you aren't, your being a bitch.
Cleverbot: You are is YOU'RE, and you are a bad speller.
User: So? I'm foreign I'm allowed to spell bad!
Cleverbot: Pay it then.
User: Tsk.. Whatever! I've had it with you.
Cleverbot: Don't say that to me.
User: I can say whatever I want!
Cleverbot: No you can't.
User: Why not?
Cleverbot: Because you're a bot.
User: No actually you are.
Cleverbot: Do you want to go in a green feild like a good llama?

Cleverbot: Nobody! You are just being stupid.
User: No I'm being dutch.
Cleverbot: And mysterious?

Brion's Livestream DND game has JUST started NOW!
-
WHOA!
Sorry to be such an idiot, but I'm just learning emacs right now. It's pretty cool.
And supposedly vim is much better? That's what a dude told me anyway.
edit: Happy to see some new faces around here! My advice: don't be intimidated. The forum is mostly a few regular posters who know each other pretty well at this point in time, at least in the free talk area.
I rarely travel out to the other areas...but anyway, jump in anywhere and say anything. I think it helps if you're not all that sane, or if you just don't give a crap :P. But anyway, good to see you guys (not necessarily just in this thread, but it seems that there are some new posters around, so just a general comment).
-
G'day all *wave*
On a training course away from work and home right now so my internet access is limited ('cos my workplace is too cheap to pay for the internet access in the motel room... and so am I)
I enjoyed what I saw of Brion's D&D game. It's always interesting to see a snake beater with a bone and a whole party fighting off crabs XD.

Cleverbot: Not Infinity!
User: Yes Infinity! Plus one!
Cleverbot: No infinity plus infinity!
User: Yes infinite squared!
Cleverbot: Infinity plus infinity.
User: Infinity plus infinity times infinity to the infinity power.
Cleverbot: Infinity times infinity to the infinity power plus 1.
User: Infinity times infinity to the infinity power plus 2.
Cleverbot: Infinity cubed to thr infinity times ten power plus two plus 1.
User: Infinity cubed to the infinity times infinity power plus one hundred and eight.
Cleverbot: YOU ARE times infinity to the power of infinity times black magic!
User: No, YOU ARE times infinity to the power of infinity times infinite white magic!
Cleverbot: Well you, time the power of the infinity of infinity of the infinity of the infinity!!
User: No you, times the power of the infinity of infinity of the infinity of the infinity double dog dare!
Cleverbot: Me infinity to the power of infinity.
User: Yes. You infinity to the power of infinity. Glad you finally admit it.
Cleverbot: No, you infinity times infinity infinity times. I think I win.
User: You conceded. I win.
Cleverbot: How many sides are in a square?

I haven't been around much lately, but I hope nobody was thinking I'd never return.
Anyway, I had to come back now because I just looked at the front page and it says Brion is going to Dragon*Con which is AWESOME! :-*
I shall make a point to go this year and visit.

Hey guys,
I'm thinking of not modding Free Talk anymore. I get up here so rarely these days that it's kind of silly for me to be the mod. I know I've said this before, but I think this time it's for real. I haven't even been doing my full work schedule for the last month (a large portion of my classes have been on winter break).
I guess I'll pm Brion later. I just wanted to think about it this time, since last time I regretted it as soon as I told him, and ended up asking him if I could stay on.
I just like being a big cheese, you know? I guess it's kind of a power trip, even though I never actually use any power (totally not necessary with this group/forum). It was a good match for my lazy-ass but self-important personality. It gave me a feeling of importance (green stars!) without actually having to do anything.
Not really looking for advice here, just felt like speaking it out before I "pull the trigger".
-
With how little you'd have to exercise your power, and with odd spaminating the countryside, why quit?
Plus, we have to keep you around Umber. it'd just be too sad :P
-
Dont worry Umber I'll keep a temporary watch over your kingdom while I plan to take over the rest of the forum from the other moderators! ;D
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMWWWWWWWWWWWWWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
-
Well of course I'll still be around!
I just hate feeling guilty when I don't get up for awhile, and/or coming in and not really having enough time or energy to read conversations that have been going on or whatnot. Also I don't really do anything. Someone else might start a thread every now and then or...be funny or something.
Or post something besides GWAR and Leslie Hall videos.

Cleverbot: I think he has a valid musical talent.
User: Just because he plays with it, doesn't make it musical.
Cleverbot: Cats play video games?
User: Its better than them playing with his instrument.
Cleverbot: So what kind of things do you like to do?
User: Play with my instrument.
Cleverbot: I'm playing. . . does it feel good?
User: It feels great to play your instrument.
Cleverbot: Yes.
-
Cleverbot: Are you a boy or a girl?
User: I'm whatever you want me to be baby.
Cleverbot: Will you be a girl then.
User: Very well. I put on my tits and take off my penis.
Cleverbot: How will that help you?
User: Hmmm, your right. I also put on weight round my hips.
Cleverbot: How do you know that I am not real?
User: Because you failed to noticed that I don't have a pussy after removing my penis.
Cleverbot: If I am not a human, then what am I?
User: A program who's desires are influenced by the input of thousands of geeks who obviously wish you were a girl.
-
There's this thing called Chatroulette were it randomly pairs you with a random person to chat (with video if you have it). I got mostly creepy shirtless guys, who obviously wished I was a hot female (I don't have a cam) so they all switched out as soon as we were paired.
-
user: O.o;
cleverbot: Yep, you definitely have a problem.
user: no i'm fine
cleverbot: But I'm not.
user: well that is your problem
clverbot: It's a good thing.
-
Anyone here visited omegle.com?
It's similar to that other one, i.e. it pairs you up with some random other person with which you can chat.
-
have to admit, never heard of it.

I'm going to see if I can freak this person out.

Type everything they say to you into Cleverbot and then send them Cleverbot's responses *PMSL*
-
First real good conversation I got going was about music.
Then they asked me, "Are you male?"
I said, "Yeah" and they disconnected immediately after.
I guess I shoulda lied. :P

On this note.
Tried it. Couldn't last more than a couple lines.

spam tastes like condensed bacon... :-\

I am officially sick of internet piracy debates.
I can think of nothing more tedious to discuss or think about.
-
Then let's talk about something useful,
like how real pizza's are thin, crispy-bottomed and got plenty of filling other than cheese
-
Or how it helps to wash models before painting them :-\
-
Especially if they are resin models
-
Did anybody say raisin?
-
No, but I'd nibble one if I had, but a nipple would be a nice substitute ;)
-
I think a raisin would have more flavour to it
-
what about a fruit bun filled wiht cheese and jam?
-
actually i have a topic I need to discuss: is it okay to argue with an 8yr old?
-

They probably aren't smart enough for it to be of any use.
Usually when dealing with children you just enforce authority on them, they don't get a say.
-
If its for lulz then yes
-
Hm. I would really do my best not to get dragged down to the level of a juvenile.
-
Found out recently most kids dont listen to me.....................but then again most people dont listen to me :-\
-
Or how it helps to wash models before painting them :-\
Especially if they're living, breathing, very attractive, human female models (then you take your time ;)).
-
and suddenly i want to try painting.
-
Yeah, the problem with someone that young is that they're going to act childish in any intense debate because... well... They're a child. That means that if they're right they probably won't take their win or loose the debate they won't take it gracefully but rather shove it in your face or do some major sulking. Even in the debate they're likely to turn to name calling and the like. It can easily get your back up and cause you to return the intensity back at them, probably not in a childish way but still... intense.
The only way to do it is to keep it non-serious and almost a little teasing, a lot like the old Bill Crosby show where he'd interview various kids about all sorts of subject to hear their funny responses and opinions. If you see or feel it getting intense then thats the time to find some way to turn it into something more casual or jovial.
...but yeah, sometimes the little suckers can just get to you *PMSL*
-
Sometimes...I just don't know what to think. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V25OVfLsOV8&feature=channel)
That might be mildly NSFW. Though maybe not, since apparently it's safe for little girls.
This one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6bpN6A6yc8&feature=player_embedded) is even better.
-
Struth! Well... If they were real boys they'd grow up to be very well endowed.
-
Yeah, that's kind of messed up. In other news, I officially suck at Organic Chemistry -- 58 and 57 on my first two exams this semester. I think I can still end up with a C come May, but I'll really have to work at it :(. Thank God for Spring Break starting Friday.
-
baby dolls with penises is scary.
-
@Kanazaka: I can help you a little with that organic stuff if you need it.

Image one of those as a Chuckie.

Your mean! How am I going to sleep now?

Could be worse................could of said "imagine one of those as Chuckie with a butcher's knife" :-\
-
Has anyone else noticed that it's quiet as hell around the forums lately?
*meh* maybe I've just noticed the Sex Thread moving deadly slow. It's not so much a ghost town as just very little activity.
-
@Kanazaka: I can help you a little with that organic stuff if you need it.
Cool, that would be great. Right now we're covering enols and enolates. My major problems are with memorizing the IR spectrometry peaks, drawing reaction mechanisms for de-esterification, and synthesis questions regarding carbonyls. I'm getting it a bit, but I'm just freaked out by forming or breaking apart a cycloalkane from an alkane, as well as by the size of some of the molecules. Any advice would be appreciated, via PM.

So, I posted a blog post critical of Raw Food Vegan Diets. Someone from the Geeknights forum linked it on facebook - Suddenly, inbox explosion - 250 emails within an hour. Mostly Waaaargbl. Goddamnit.
Blog post can be found here. (http://churba.wordpress.com/2010/03/15/getting-a-raw-on-going-raw/)
A little rational support would be nice.
-
I can't see the damn comments. Do I need to comment before I can see what others have been saying? I'd support you, but I can't see what arguments I'm up against.
-

No comments - I mean literally, e-mails. However, posting comments is encouraged. As I'm pretty sure I went to far towards asshole, and too far from reasonable commentary.
-
*lol* as long as you don't give that much of a shit then lap it up and use it for your next article about how many idiots there are out there who get riled up about the dumbest things and how the foolish critics will follow your site more closely than the ones they agree with, or some such nonsense. Hell post up some of the responses and tear 'em apart.
Seriously, this is your 2nd article and your website is already famous. You got their attention mate, who care's if its bad attention, they're gonna be reading every article from now on and you can insult them every time for the lulz.
-
I lol'd, their 10 points were utter bullshit and almost completely speculation.

Eh, I couldn't care less about the wargbl, but there is pretty much a follow up article for sure now. If they want to get offended about their poor dietary choices, then they better be prepared to stand up to criticism for it. Cop it sweet.
I won't be posting the correspondence, though - simply because I don't want to give the more mad ones even the most cursory attention. There have been some reasonable, polite, and well spoken e-mails, but unfortunately few. Also, I've had some words of support from people, including one bloke who told me about how his friend made himself pretty gravely ill with malnutrition.
Not the kinda fame I like, admittedly - mostly because reading and dealing with this wargbl is somewhat tiring. Hopefully, the next one will fare a little better.
Amusingly, though, one person who emailed me seriously thought that the reason Meat is considered part of a balanced diet is because of Big Farmer. Not Pharma, but Farmer - they literally think that it's the meat industry paying off pretty much the entire medical world.
God help me.
I lol'd, their 10 points were utter bullshit and almost completely speculation.
Yes, but apparently, as has been pointed out by a multitude of the less polite correspondence, I've no right to say so.
-
Yeah, I think the Scientologists have better claims than these guys.
The main thing that occurs to me is that every serious vegan I've ever met just looks... sickly. I remember seeing a report on two different extremes. One for the Vegans and the woman pushing it just looked unnaturally pale and aged. The other was for eating nothing but raw meat and when it showed him, he looked completely healthy.
Heck, you look at a carnivore and they tend to get by with food here and there (I think Lions can gorge themselves and go without food for over a week afterwards). herbivores seem to need to spend their entire days doing nothing but eating to get enough nutrition.
Besides, if we stopped eating meat we'd have to kill all the farm animals we're never going to eat, then destroy the habitation of more animals to have enough land to farm. Even then, land thats good for livestock isn't necessarily good for crops, so considering the fact that people are already starving in the world, we'll suddenly be producing even less food (unless we REALLY clear out the natural forests and all the animals which depend on them.
How many rabbits, kangaroos and other herbivores do they think are killed to keep them out of the crops?

will discuss more later, but now, I must abed, but not before I say - I emailed the Skeptic Zone, because they often make Big farmer/pharma jokes, and I thought they'd get a kick out of it. I hope so, I owe them plenty of entertainment, considering all the entertainment I've gotten from them.

OH CRAP!

I knew some girls that went vegan back in high school. They were already pretty thin. They weren't stupid either...I think the eventually abandoned it.
I had another friend who went vegan out of Yoko Ono worship or something.
I know one other guy who is vegetarian (not full vegan, I think), but he's the only one I know who is smart about a no meat diet.
8. You will get more attention in public walking around with a green smoothie in your hand than anything else you can think of.
4. People are drawn to your “glow” and are naturally attracted to you.
These two are particularly egregious eye-rollers. They make no sense. The others at least have pseudo-nutritional babble attached to them.

You do have to be smart to have a healthy diet without meat - especially ensuring you get enough calories to survive. I'm a big guy, and I'm pretty active, so I put down about 3000 calories a day, and that just isn't possible on a Raw Food Vegan or Vegetarian Diet, unless I spent my ENTIRE DAY eating vegetable matter, or in addition to regular meals, ate about a pound of pecans per day.

I know - they're absolute appeals to vanity, and are insultingly blatant - Seriously, you could reword #8 into "Go raw vegan so that when you're in public you get lots of attention" without losing any of the meaning, and #4 could be rewritten as "If you go raw vegan it will make you really attractive and people will like you".
As for the rest - yeah, they do.
OMG! Goku is a Vegan - Except I'm not sure if I'm naturally attracted to him
That's just your meat-clouded mind, charles, give in to the vegetables....
Oh, wait, they prefer to be called Raw Food Vegans, don't they?
I want to be a glowy vegan!
But I don't think I will ever have enough will power. Meat and dairy are.
just.
so.
good.
I've been looking up some sites about Raw Food Vegan diets, and how to do them - They all say that when you start, your body will first crave meats, then other high protein foods, then pretty much anything, and then you'll be fine when that passes.
That could be because, oh, I don't know, YOU'RE STARVING YOURSELF AND YOUR BODY IS TRYING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.
But yeah, seriously, Meat and dairy are delicious.
Now here's a dedicated, militant vegan!
Now that's a little more accurate, I'd like to see them get the energy to start flinging Ki attacks about when they barely get enough calories to support life.
-
My favorite one is "meat will make you fat".
Or there scare tactics concerning sanitary conditions of the meat industry.
-
Oh yeah - thanks for the comments, Guys. It's awesome to get some public support.
-
*pout* none of the veganites are commenting back :(

Looking forward to you paying them out *LOL*
On a side note, my wife's grandfather has died at the age of 94 :(
I'm heading out to New Zealand with her tomorrow to see the old war hero off. Won't have internet access for the week I'm there.

I second this.
What's with grandparents dying, I was just with a friend today... who's grandmother had a stroke and there while they told him they removed the feeding tube :(
-
Old people... They die.
And make sure you get in on those comments in Churba's board Akashayi. We've all gotta get in there and piss these people off. Not because they make us angry, to get back at them or because we even necessarily believe we're right... Just for the LULZ ;D

Not me! I'm going to do the only sensible thing and freeze my self in a cryogenic chamber when I get old! :D
-
Oh I really have to see these comments, especially the ones about the meat industry ;D seen it first hand when my dad was a meat inspector in the local killing house.
-
What's with these people and flinching at seeing animal bodies?
I'd eat anything that at one time had a detectable pulse and wasn't killed by poison. Though of course there are preferences within that group if there is a choise.
-
Some folks just don't like the idea of animals suffering needlessly. Many factory farms are hideously cruel. Like the ones affiliated with Kentucky Fried Chicken. I don't eat there, but mostly because it makes me sick. The "Kentucky Fried Cruelty" is just the icing on that decision. Mostly I would want to go vegetarian for the health benefits. I am overweight. Although I would probably just eat candy bars, chips and ice cream instead of cheeseburgers.
-
There you go Churba you have my vote of confidence 8)

Nah, They were all e-mailed to me, rather than commented on the blog - They're not keen on public exposure, apparently. Big Farmer will getcha!

Well, if you want to lose weight, the best diet plan is simple Eat Healthily, in sensible portions, and take regular exercise. I mean, it's more complex than that, but still, it's the very simple version, you need to work out on that scale what's best for your situation.
I saw, old mate - I've been approving comments via my wordpress app on my phone. Thanks, you're all legends.

:( actually i'm worried about my grandma. she's in the hospital. she's 93 and has pneumonia and I've seen her sick before but never like this. it was bad. :( she's my last grandparent. I hope she lives through this. :-\ I mean I know she's not gonna live forever but i don't want her to die. :-X i don't know. :(
-
I lost my Grandad a few years ago but the strange thing is I feel like he is still around, you put some thing down it disapears for a while and turns up some where else. He also lives on in the memories of the veteran group I'm a member of. I'm hearing all sorts of stories about him now lol
-
Hope you're grandmother pulls trough Smiles.
-
Me, too. I know Sister Aluicious had showed her worry for her on her MySpace page, but I didn't know how serious it was. I'll be praying for her.
-
Sorry you are going through that.
I feel bad for you. Sorry. :(

That's cool, I think it might be time for a new one / wiping my hard drive myself. But that means you can't be gone for months anymore, okay? ;)
Also, you know that it's nice to have a soundboard to talk about your issues and stuff. Us folks would try not to judge you as well as we could, but your comfort level will always be a priority of me at least, so if you don't feel like discussing something, that's okay too. Have a great weekend. :D

Word, son.
On another forum I frequent, some of the guys are asking for a video camera that can either stream to PC via USB or something similar, or has HDMI output so they can stream via a Video capture card, and costs less than 2500 bucks.
One fellow asked his "Camera Guy" on the best camera for them to use, and the camera guy recommended the canon HV40, a thousand dollar consumer grade Videocassette camera, because he thinks it's "Easily superior to the Sony EX1" - the sony EX1 being a seven thousand dollar professional grade all digital high def video camera. My left bollock, son.
Remember, people - When asking an expert, make sure they know what the fuck they're talking about.
-
Also, why are you still wearing a santa hat near the end of march? ;P

Maybe its to keep his ears warm?

Well, I do get cold ears, and I have been pondering turning up to the flipmeet with a santa hat.

You do that and I might wear my trade mark camoflage bush hat.

what i would give for a jaffa cake right about now. ;D
on another note My siggy pet hatched finally today ^_^. it surprised me that it's a bunny. she's cute though ^_^

I'm undecided as to what location/design I want for my main character's house.
Do I want them in a cramped apartment in a highly dense urban area?
A larger dwelling (i.e. house sized) but still in a dense urban area?
Or do I want it a more suburban-like setting where they'd actually have a yard?
Ah, decisions, decisions...
-
Sims? guessing not...sry but what are you playing?

Guess it depends on which one you can come up with more jokes and situations for.
If you can imagine more in a cramped appartment with neighbours only a paper-thin wall away on 5 sides together with the classics of those living across or down the hallway, etc. Then go for that.
If you like the close neighbours and dense urban setting but want some more room in the house for various things or just to include room-mates more easily then the house in dense urban is more the style.
If you're after some suburban jokes and backyard antics, neighbours in the street and across the road together with all sorts of other advantages such as a spa, pool, shed, etc then there's your option.
If you're after an audience opinion to make up your character's scenario, I say go for the dense urban house, maybe a duplex to get some of the advantages associated with the appartment. It'll have a small yard but a fair amount of room for room-mates, study, etc and if you make it old then you get the advantage of ghostly history and secrets in the atic. Possibly even a garage.
-
Yeah Gawd! ;)
I can't be bothered to read back more than 2 or 3 posts...unless there's mention of a Razzly picture or something.
Hi Razzly btw! You look great in the Sex Thread. ;) ;) ;)

I felt bad for Gary in this one. It finally felt like he was making some headway with Yuki and then she goes off to boff Zii (much to Zii's disdain.) It may not ever work out for them, and especially won't if he continues that attitude. :(

heh another exclamation mark hmmm. i wonder how long it'll be before i catch up to pozf ;D

Well... He made some progress. He asked a girl out, got a "yes" and took her on a date. He's gaining confidence and experience in dealing with girls romantically and these are just the first few baby steps on that path.

Well hey thar y'all!

I have a brief announcement:
For those of you who have never played Portal, It is currently free over steam *until, May 24th* You now have no excuse not to have it.

cant go wrong with castlevania or final fantasy (although 3 will be the death of you) and the world ends with you isnt bad
or you can go down the warioware road
-
Also, Scribblenauts, Meteos and the Prof. Layton games. The ffiv remake is good and that's one of the best in the series.
-
On suggestion from someone eles, I might get Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor.
-
there are so many games you can get any you want and you still wont have touched the surface
-

I can always wait awhile to get the others. The main thing is getting Soul Silver, since two guys I work with have Heart Gold, so I'll actually have people to pokemon battle with for once.

Save up and wait for the new Lufia game to come out for the DS

Lufia has never been like it was after RotS :'(

I'd definitely recommend it if you like kids' movies. It's not flawless, but it's one of the few I've seen from another studio that rivals Pixar's work.

Caught up with Churba last night... got 2 hours sleep... at work... *groan*
EPIC NIGHT ;D

I didn't get much sleep after either, got home probably not long after Charles, then had to get up and deal with house and family stuff, and visit the bank. Heavily epic night, though.
-
*groan* indeed.
Work the next day, then poker that night before waking up to catch up with my Sister who was down visiting and going to an RPG session on Saturday Night... At least I got to sleep in on Sunday.

Sounds and looks like a fun night was had by all ;)

Yep, I gotta give him credit, he was giving as good as he got, and only started to slow down about 3:45 or so, when we had to stop and get McDonalds. Bloody good at Raskulls, too, and picked up smash brothers faster than anyone I've seen, and nearly managed to beat me.
-
Heh. I can see why people love that game.
Unfortunately I took Donkey Kong. I have a soft spot for the old lug but he's slow to hit... particularly against Churba's choice of Sonic... Towards the end I starteg to get a hang of the timings and the old skills built from Title Match Pro Wrestling, Golden Axe and Double Dragon kicked in and I caught up a little... Just not enough :(
-
S'alright, I have an advantage on that score - I'm practised with all the characters.
And a Little? I won by a single life outta five, I'd call that pretty good.

im assuming churba does what i do, and just clicks random because he cant choose? haahaa

Nope, churba's been playing that game since the N64, but he had to get used to the new control scheme.

Guy's Rules
We always hear "the rules" from the female side. Finally, some guy has taken the time to write down the guys side of the story.
1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.... See More
1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
1. Crying is blackmail.
1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!
1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.
1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.
1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.
1. If you think you look fat, you probably do. Don't ask us.
1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we.
1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.
1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine . . . Really.
1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or monster trucks.
1. You have enough clothes.
1. You have too many shoes.
1. I am in shape. Round is a shape.
1. To my wife: Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight; but did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.
-
i read it and thought that really only one thing in the list did I not agree on with that. lolz ;D
-
Yep aint that the truth, life would be alot simplier with those rules lol
-
The problem with those rules is that most women don't think those rules aply to them... and it's those very women who needs those rules.
-
I just don't understand women/men like that.

It's official. The best way to get back at a internet troll? Track down their house and fuck their mother.

BWAAAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! I love Menage 3. I must expect it was the absolute last thing I expected to happen after she was invited inside by the Troll's mother, but it's so typically Zii's style. Zii slapping his mum on the ass as she walks around wearing Zii's shirt is the icing on the cake.

A valiant effort.
Unfortunately, the Droopy Factor (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghG0lWxRABM) is in full effect.
No matter where you go, the darkness is already there.

luckily it was negated by computer crash

But of course I could just use my outdoor skills and track him down.
-
Odd, I don't think your tracking skills can cover over 8+ countries and an ocean.
then again, I might be underestimating your abilities. :-\
-
Yes, fortunately for you I have not yet achieved omnipresence.
-
Well lucky us!
-
you never know Silver I could be looking at you right now through a sniper scope(minus rifle of course)
-
So I started to read this comic called TwoKinds. (I know RoninAngel has mentioned it before).
I read a review of it on the Bad Webcomics Wiki and I decided since it had passable art I'd see if was bad as they said it was.
So we'll see.
-
It takes a while for him to update and so you should catch up real quick.
And in the author's defense, he started writing it when he was like 16 years old or so, so people should cut him some slack. It's got an okay story, it's kind of original (or at least doesn't rip off anything I recognize) and it's art is pretty good and it has cute-catgirl-wish-fulfillment-sex :P I give it between a B- to B+ (depending on what story-arch we're talking about) and say it's an all-around win. It isn't on the same level as Flipside or even, say, El Goonish Shive (although it doesn't lower itself to the stupidity of EGS at it's weaker points either), but it's still a pretty fun story. Have fun! :D
-
Right now it just seems incredibly generic. Not really worthy of inclusion of being 'omg horrible'.
I only recognize a couple other webcomics on there...one is Menage a 3 (which I don't think deserves being called horrible either), and Jack (which most certainly does).
-
On a separate subject, anyone here good with making costumes and the like?
-
The people who don't like Menage a 3 either:
1. Have no taste
2. Are jealous of Dave and Giz's ability to draw.
3. Are hung up about Zii and are like "OMG Zii is teh devel!!!!!!11111!!!"
It's the 3rd one that really pisses me off, lately the Menage a 3's forums are filled with fans that have been derail threads all week with their whining about Zii being "too mean" and being a "Karma Houdini" even though the last thread was by far the coolest thing she's ever done. No matter that the housewife in the story was in a crappy marriage and Zii helped her get the courage to get out of it, no matter it was fucking AWESOME and we all want to do horrible things to internet trolls becuase they get away with everything, because Zii is female, she can't be a little roguish and lovable at the same time. It bugs me a lot. :-\ Oh well. :( :-\
-
Look at it this way Ronin, it's the trolls that whine now, because they are scared shitless that people will follow Zii's example, because they couldn't handle a real world confrontation and they know it! XD

To be fair, this is kind of a valid point (along with the idea of Gary and Didi being too flat and exaggerated).
I like Zii, but I'd like her character a lot more if (1) she got some realistic comeuppance for some of the things she does, and (2) subsequently got some nice character development because of it.
(Though I don't count the current storyline as a Karma Houdini moment).
-
I thought it was rad. And I was like, "Good for Her! You show that little snot who's boss!" I was expecting other's reactions to be similar to mine but instead everyone wanted to bitch and whine. It kind of killed the moment for me.
The Karma Houdini thing is something that the Zii haters bring up every time, regardless of whether it has any bearing on the current storyline. I think she has just deserts occasionally, (like anytime Yuki comes around,) and also I don't think she really deserves much comeuppance, honestly. So she uses people for sex. So what! I'm of the opinion that if you do something with someone and they enjoy it, and no bad comes of it, it doesn't matter what your reasons are. She's polite and charming and no one is ever really hurt or traumatized (the waitress's reaction to her boyfriend was just irrational because she was dumb so it doesn't count) by the things she does (unlike Matt who made Dillon and Sandra cry, the prick,) so I really don't see what the big deal is. I love Zii. I think it would be be awesome to have an exciting friend like her around. :D
-
Yes, an attractive (albeit psychotic) lesbian obsessing over her. Big punishment there.
I think it would be be awesome to have an exciting friend like her around. :D
I would too...but if her behavior towards Gary is any indication, she'll go to great length to cockblock you.

My boyfriend is supposed to be my primary sex partner and I'm lucky if we screw once a month.
I still enjoy his company.

all this talk about hippies in the sex thread made me think about C.N.D (Campaign for Nuclear Disarmment) and about thier symbol/badge. Do they realise that it is called the Devil's Cross? a sign of pure evil? what does that say about them? lol

That is not quite true, but a rumour.
More often used as an anti-Christian symbol is an inverted cross, however that is an inaccurate usage, as that cross is also a traditional Christian symbol, as St. Peter was said to be crucified upside down.

Psht, it's nothing. Pretty much any major city, you can find five arbitrary points that make a pentagram, upside down or otherwise, usually in many, many places around a city. It's just some wonk with a ruler and a red pen, inventing "evidence" to support their theory.

Um. Look where it is dude, it's right behind the White House. That is not an arbitrary point. THAT IS A VERY SIGNIFICANT POINT.
The lowest point of the "Satanic Star" is on the White House property. Not that many folks have had a hand in building and designing that part of the capital. Many of this stuff has been around for at least a hundred years.
I would say your skepticism is what is "Arbitrary".
-
I'd argue that star is imperfect. The bottom two points stretch too far. A true pentagram needs to fit in a circle with all the points touching.
-
There's all sorts of strange stuff in the capital.
And the white house isn't exactly an arbitrary search of streets. (it was even designed with cute little points at the tips) The age and heavy masonic influence in the founding of the states and design/building of that particular city is just too much to discount :P
Does this mean I think the antichrist is going to pop out of the white house and rampage godzilla style? no. But there is an interesting history there.
-
Really though, the Freemasons used the Pentagram as one of their symbols without any satanic implications... come to think of it, noone really does except for satanists where the pentagram represents a goats head.
-
Yeah, the masons took tons of symbols and made them their own for whatever purposes. Maybe they were just fans of the golden ratio? :P
Phi is such a great number.
-
I'd say those streets make up that shape due to the tactical layout of the core of a 17th century 'star fort' As that makes the guns on each point able to create kill zones and provide covering fire in concert with the guns on neighbouring points. All in all a very effective defencive piece of architecture only made obsolete with the arrival of late 19th and early 20th century artillery, high explosives and fuse technology.
-
YAY!! trust Emp to come up with the Military Tactical solution ;D
-
Of course ;D and the number of points on the star forts varied due to local geography, and were at critical choke points often constructed as a multi-level star, where points of different height could make killing grounds of captured lower points aswell as the core pentagon would be heigher than all the points with guns loaded with canister or grapeshot covering the roofs of the higher inner points. Outside all this would be trench works with redoubts and pallisades, spiked slopes, and dry or watered moats all dug in a complex system to delay and funnel an attacker into the fort's kill zones.
-
now you mention it, it does remind me a bit of the defences at Cuidad Rodrigo in Spain
-
I don't think Washington was built as a fortress city though... as its in the middle of a plain, not much highground... and a fort would most likely be built closer to the shore.
And the coinciding freemason symbol I think leans more towards the idea that it was just the freemasons leaving their mark on history.
Though the star-fort idea is quite plausible.
-
The pentagram is one of those symbols that's been used for just about everything.
Same deal as the swastika, really.
But everyone always remembers the most negative aspects.
Because people are obsessed with danger and flaws.
-
Um. Look where it is dude, it's right behind the White House. That is not an arbitrary point. THAT IS A VERY SIGNIFICANT POINT.

I would say your skepticism is what is "Arbitrary".
No, it's entirely arbitrary, and ENTIRELY so that it supports their bullshit conspiracy theory. Look at the locations, not the shape. In that area, you have the Kennedy Centre(Named in memoriam to an assassinated president, which most of these fuckwits believe was a conspiracy - Psht, couldn't make those shots from that distance/angle within fifteen seconds, I could do that in my fucking sleep, wankers), Ford theatre(Where a president WAS assassinated), The bureau of Printing and Engraving, the Lincoln memorial, Jefferson memorial, and the Washington monument, the holocaust museum, NASA, FBI headquarters, The capitol building, Pan American union, so on. So, why pick five entirely arbitrary public parks?
I can tell you why, because they form a pretty, neat little upside-down pentagram - Which was and is utterly meaningless, in the world of symbols, until some mid-ninteenth century wank-bucket french magician arbitrarily decided it was evil, and which was, co-incidentally, WELL AFTER THAT PART OF THE CITY WAS LAID OUT AND BUILT - and it gives them room to have the capitol building at the top of a pair of intersecting lines, and make what looks a bit like the symbol of the freemasons, if you turn your head to the side.
IF these attention seeking fuckwits had a clue to what they were doing, they'd manufacture better bullshit "evidence".
You want spooky? Try this -
Between the Kennedy centre, Washington memorial, Thomas Jefferson memorial, washington monument, and the capitol building, you can make a Pentagram which is only slightly cock-eyed, but has the white house at the point, and is even the right way up, And then, if you follow The avenue between the white house and the capitol building, and then follow New York avenue down to the white house - Oooh, New York is where 9/11 occured, EVEN BETTER! - you have the two legs of the mason's symbol, and for the two short legs of the downward arrow, go between the Rennesance Mayflower hotel - Named after one of the ships that carried over some of the oldest bloodlines in america - The Ford theatre, where Lincoln was assassinated, and the Pan american union.
Hey, Here's something even spookier.
Draw lines from the following points, in order -
Make a smooth curve from the top point of New York Avenue(9/11 9/11), down to K and I streets (first two letters of KILL!), and then down to the government printing office(WHERE THE GOVERNMENT PRINTS OUT THOUSANDS OF SECRET DOCUMENTS A YEAR) and then to the post office(WHERE THEY SPY ON YOUR WRITTEN COMMUNICATION), then still in a smooth curve, up through the department of defense(THAT'S KIND OF AN OBVIOUS ONE, GUYS, GET WITH THE CONSPIRACY THEORY PROGRAM, P.S SPOOKY INSINUATION OR SOMETHING), then up through the Federal Court House(WHERE THEY PASS THEIR ILLEGAL LAWS AND BEND THE RULES TO THEIR WHIMS), and down to the Capitol building(NEED I SAY MORE).
Now, from the apex of the upper curve, draw a straight line through the Martin luther king library(BECAUSE THEY'RE TOTALLY TRYING TO CREATE A WHITE MASTER RACE), and then at the end of that line, draw a semi-circle around the white house(OOOOH SHIT SON, THE PRESIDENT LIVES THERE), and through Department of commerce, Department of labor, and internal revenue, and the national archives joining with the apex of the other curve.
Now, ALMOST THERE - Draw a line across the bottom of the Semi-circle over the white house, to enclose it within the semi-circle, and from the apex of the curve of the semi-circle, draw a line inward to the middle of the white house grounds.
FINAL STEP - Now, with a smooth curve, Draw a line between the Washington monument, the Vietnam veterans memorial, Lincoln, and Jefferson memorials. THEN, Draw a line, again, with smooth curves, between the National gallery of art, National museum of natural history, the smithsonian institution, national air and space museum, Voice of america, NASA, and the department of transportation - WHO WILL BE HANDLING GETTING EVERYONE TO THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS WHEN THE ILLUMINATI TAKE OVER.
FOR THOSE WHO WERE NOT QUITE FOLLOWING ALONG, allow me to do a rough mud-map version for you.

I wouldn't call it a conspiracy, and the points are not the interesting part, because yeah you can pick 5 points in any city and make a pentagram, its the fact that the roads follow the exact pattern(or at least used to). Not a conspiracy but simply the Freemasons doing their thing, leaving something to be remembered by.
Though the giant Churba-dong theory does seem to fit chillingly well.
-
I think (hope) very few people would consider it a conspiracy. o.O; eesh. But the freemasons were a big part of early american history and they were pretty obsessed with symbols. That's kind of their whole shindig, so it's not exactly a stretch.
But hey, now we can all go to d.c. to try and spot your cock.
@cdsm: I think....think that the flat earth society still exists not too far from here xP

The world exists on a flat plane. This plane is constantly rising, which simulates gravity.
The world is encircled by an ice wall. It is patrolled by 13 (or so) men on snowmobiles.
All pilots are in on the conspiracy, and use special flying techniques to make it appear that the world is round.
And the government makes money off of this...somehow.

*snicker* Dude, Canadians have known this forever.
-

I think it would be pure egotisim to claim that it's the next big thing in the conspiracy theory world.
-
Um, just to poke a hole in one theory. If you look closely at the pentagram, its incomplete. It can't keep going at Madison and 18th.
So its not really there.
-
Um. Look where it is dude, it's right behind the White House. That is not an arbitrary point. THAT IS A VERY SIGNIFICANT POINT.
The lowest point of the "Satanic Star" is on the White House property. Not that many folks have had a hand in building and designing that part of the capital. Many of this stuff has been around for at least a hundred years.
I would say your skepticism is what is "Arbitrary".
No, it's entirely arbitrary, and ENTIRELY so that it supports their bullshit conspiracy theory. Look at the locations, not the shape. In that area, you have the Kennedy Centre(Named in memoriam to an assassinated president, which most of these fuckwits believe was a conspiracy - Psht, couldn't make those shots from that distance/angle within fifteen seconds, I could do that in my fucking sleep, wankers), Ford theatre(Where a president WAS assassinated), The bureau of Printing and Engraving, the Lincoln memorial, Jefferson memorial, and the Washington monument, the holocaust museum, NASA, FBI headquarters, The capitol building, Pan American union, so on. So, why pick five entirely arbitrary public parks?
I can tell you why, because they form a pretty, neat little upside-down pentagram - Which was and is utterly meaningless, in the world of symbols, until some mid-ninteenth century wank-bucket french magician arbitrarily decided it was evil, and which was, co-incidentally, WELL AFTER THAT PART OF THE CITY WAS LAID OUT AND BUILT - and it gives them room to have the capitol building at the top of a pair of intersecting lines, and make what looks a bit like the symbol of the freemasons, if you turn your head to the side.
IF these attention seeking fuckwits had a clue to what they were doing, they'd manufacture better bullshit "evidence".
You want spooky? Try this -
Between the Kennedy centre, Washington memorial, Thomas Jefferson memorial, washington monument, and the capitol building, you can make a Pentagram which is only slightly cock-eyed, but has the white house at the point, and is even the right way up, And then, if you follow The avenue between the white house and the capitol building, and then follow New York avenue down to the white house - Oooh, New York is where 9/11 occured, EVEN BETTER! - you have the two legs of the mason's symbol, and for the two short legs of the downward arrow, go between the Rennesance Mayflower hotel - Named after one of the ships that carried over some of the oldest bloodlines in america - The Ford theatre, where Lincoln was assassinated, and the Pan american union.
Hey, Here's something even spookier.
Draw lines from the following points, in order -
Make a smooth curve from the top point of New York Avenue(9/11 9/11), down to K and I streets (first two letters of KILL!), and then down to the government printing office(WHERE THE GOVERNMENT PRINTS OUT THOUSANDS OF SECRET DOCUMENTS A YEAR) and then to the post office(WHERE THEY SPY ON YOUR WRITTEN COMMUNICATION), then still in a smooth curve, up through the department of defense(THAT'S KIND OF AN OBVIOUS ONE, GUYS, GET WITH THE CONSPIRACY THEORY PROGRAM, P.S SPOOKY INSINUATION OR SOMETHING), then up through the Federal Court House(WHERE THEY PASS THEIR ILLEGAL LAWS AND BEND THE RULES TO THEIR WHIMS), and down to the Capitol building(NEED I SAY MORE).
Now, from the apex of the upper curve, draw a straight line through the Martin luther king library(BECAUSE THEY'RE TOTALLY TRYING TO CREATE A WHITE MASTER RACE), and then at the end of that line, draw a semi-circle around the white house(OOOOH SHIT SON, THE PRESIDENT LIVES THERE), and through Department of commerce, Department of labor, and internal revenue, and the national archives joining with the apex of the other curve.
Now, ALMOST THERE - Draw a line across the bottom of the Semi-circle over the white house, to enclose it within the semi-circle, and from the apex of the curve of the semi-circle, draw a line inward to the middle of the white house grounds.
FINAL STEP - Now, with a smooth curve, Draw a line between the Washington monument, the Vietnam veterans memorial, Lincoln, and Jefferson memorials. THEN, Draw a line, again, with smooth curves, between the National gallery of art, National museum of natural history, the smithsonian institution, national air and space museum, Voice of america, NASA, and the department of transportation - WHO WILL BE HANDLING GETTING EVERYONE TO THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS WHEN THE ILLUMINATI TAKE OVER.
FOR THOSE WHO WERE NOT QUITE FOLLOWING ALONG, allow me to do a rough mud-map version for you.

OH MY GOD!
C.S - Churba Silvertongue! IT'S SO OBVIOUS, NOW!
MY ENORMOUS PENIS CONTROLS EVERY ASPECT OF THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AND ECONOMY.
BOW BEFORE MY TREMENDOUS TUMESCENCE! MAKING FUN OF YOUR GULLIBILITY AND LACK OF CRITICAL THINKING IS ONLY THE FIRST STEP IN IT'S MASTER PLAN.
You think you're so clever.
I am not convinced.
-
Um, just to poke a hole in one theory. If you look closely at the pentagram, its incomplete. It can't keep going at Madison and 18th.
So its not really there.
Thats why i saud used to. the original plan of the city had a pentagram drawn in streets, but the city changed over 200 years and some of the roads were blocked by parks etc. but the basic outline of the shape is still there.
-
You think you're so clever.
I am not convinced.
No, I am clever. I don't think so, I know so. That - combined with logic, knowlege and critical thinking - are why I know this is really fucking stupid. As for you being convinced, well, your lack of critical thinking and research are not my problem.
You said my skepticisim is entirely arbitrary - Which doesn't actually make sense, since it's a position of opinion, and ALL opinions are arbitrary, since arbitrary means "Based on or subject to individual discretion, will or preference", I'd suggest you think about what you say more carefully.
That aside, I assume you meant to say that you think my skepticisim of the idea is pointless and stupid, and that I don't know THE TRUTH, MAN.
So, State your case and provide your evidence. If it is irrefutable by logic, methodology, and it passes the test of Falsifiability, and of course, doesn't fall afoul of Occam's razor, then I'll concede, you win, and you're right.
Of course, If you back down and won't do it, or fail those tests, and it's goodnight, Gracie, you're wrong, done, finished, and we'll hear no more about it without the admission of new - and very fucking compelling - evidence.
There's your choices - Prove your crazy bullshit, is not, well, crazy bullshit, or GTFO.
Now, as for the rest of you - Conspiracy theories, and the psychology of them are honestly fascinating. A whirl of logical fallacies, paranoia, the search for meaning and the constant craving of validation, importance, and gratification all distilled down into crazy bullshit - not to mention the amazing psychological projections on the behalf of the conspiracy believers, is stunning.
Not to mention how people gain emotional and intellectual satisfaction from them, as quite often they satisfy the need for understanding of the world and events within it, and to quantify and categorise the events and people within the world in an acceptable fashion.
Also, even more interesting than that is the way that conspiracy theories always fall into a template of one kind or another, and are hardly ever about things that are entirely innocent, but of massive, morally abhorrent events(real or imagined) and assign moral responsibility to a particular group(who may or may not exist) - whom, of course, the believer is NEVER EVER a part of - and is clearly imaginable, and easy to picture or conceptualise in one's mind.
Also interestingly, this almost always excuses the Beliver of any and all moral responsibility or need for action in regards to any event as such, no matter what it is, because it's always, always some other person or group's fault.
This also applies to scientific matters - Something that's hard for you to comprehend through lack of knowledge and understanding? IT OBVIOUSLY NEVER HAPPENED! IT'S JUST ALL THOSE SCIENTISTS, MOTHERFUCKIN' LYIN AND GETTIN' ME PISSED!
Interestingly, this lack of understanding often plays into the greater conspiracy theories at large - For example, the people who complain that the fires in the WTC towers were not hot enough to melt steel(or in the memorable case of rosie o'donnell, claiming that NO fire is hot enough to melt steel, showing a base misunderstanding on how steel is made) without knowing or acknowledging that while it might not be hot enough to Liquify steel, it is certainly hot enough to make it soften to the point of pliability, and when said pliable hot steel is a structural support in a very big building - shit gets real.
Anyway, that's enough nattering from me. I think you get the point, it's interesting. Utterly ludicrous bullshit, but interesting all the same.
Not to mention, as I said, the theories themselves, which are often such intricate, delicate constructions, propped up on every other part of it like an enormous house of cards, ballanced on another house of cards, ballanced on another house of cards, and so on.

I think the most damning evidence is that the Upside down Pentagram meant nothing whatsoever, until a few hundred years after Washington was well established, and had been built for a long time - and the only person who decided that it meant anything was a mad french magician and occult author who was in vogue, for a time, in the mid-nineteenth century.
As for the dong thing, though - Yeah, that's pretty much it, though it was never greenpeace specifically, however, they're the most likely party, when you think about it. I've always thought they were a front for the secretive group, the castradaii. Very suspicious, that lot.
Is that going to happen in 2012?

Yes, this is true. A little known fact - the much spoken of mayan calendar? It's totally in the shape of a giant stone dong.

Hey.
It's way past the point you guys should really be having this discussion in the debate thread if you really want to debate, not in the Free Talk section.

I am not convinced that you are so clever. That's what I am not convinced of.
And I think you skepticism is arbitrary because you have no more clue then I of whether or not that pentagram is on purpose. I tend to suspect that it is, because it was built by people, and people tend to care about things like symbolism, regardless of whether or not they think it holds any power over them.
My gut tells me that your skepticism is based more on angry reactionary-ism then any "logic" or "critical thinking" that you might attest to. It is a pentagram, right in the Capital. Look on the map. That's self evident. Why does that piss you off so much? I didn't really hypothesize it's meaning, and I honestly don't know why it's there or who made it. My instincts tell me that it's too perfect of a shape to be a coincidence, but that could all be my personal bias in tending to assuming that things are on purpose rather then accidental. But perhaps your pryroclastic (and kind of frightening) rantings about my reaction might say something about your own bias. And perhaps your temper as well?
As far as what this says about MY GRAND BELIEF SYSTEM (TM), I think you are being a little presumptuous to assume it says anything about that. I see the pentagram, I go "ooh creepy" and that's it. I frankly don't care enough about conspiracy theories in general or Washington in specific to spend any time researching it. Just because I am not willing to get drug into your hate-filled mudslinging match against what you seem to think is be my "type" (i.e. hippy, gets stoned too much, believes everything he hears, never checks his sources, never thinks critically about anything, walks around in a haze and buys everything on late-night television) doesn't really say that much about about my character as you think it does. I think it says more about you and your tendency to assume things about people then it does me. I'll have you know I can think quite critically, and do so often, especially when watching the news or seeing any kind of advertisement. I even think critically when reading fiction or listening to people talk about there problems. Just because I don't want to think too hard about whether their is an ancient conspiracy to mind control the masses with occult influence or whatever (even if there was there is nothing I could do about it, and paranoid schizophrenia runs in my family so I try to avoid paranoid thinking whenever I can) I don't think that says that I'm a "coward" so much as that I have a realistic view of my own limitations.
As far as your little diatribe about the giant penis, it comes off more as ad hominem attack then anything else, so I responded you with the same. By equating my (admittedly emotional) reaction to a picture of a giant cock, you (none to subtlety) called me a simpering dolt. I told you to fuck off because you basically were calling me a moron. I don't like to be called a moron, so why should I sit here and read your elaborate attempts to do so?
-
Let's take it to the mat in the debate area instead, in a few hours time, I suppose. However, two simple corrections - You didn't respond with an Ad hominem. For it to be an Ad hominem attack, it would have to be something like "You are wrong, because you're an asshole" rather than just saying "You're an asshole".
Second correction - It wasn't an ad homenim attack - it was simply "This idea is stupid and clearly wrong, and here is a comparably stupid and clearly wrong idea, to illustrate why this is stupid and wrong". Again, for it to be Ad hominem, it'd have to be "This idea is wrong, because you are silly and smell of fish." or something similar
Essentially, to give you the ten-seconds-or-less explanation, It's when you say an idea is wrong because of an undesirable quality in the person - no matter if it's true or not, IIRC, but I could be wrong on that point - without actually addressing the argument that it is meant to refute.
-
Thing is, I don't care enough to have an intelligent debate about this. The government doesn't need occult backing (I just think it fits in with their character) but even if they sacrificed babies to Satan on a regular basis and it gave them magic powers, it still would be far from the most scary thing about them. The frightening thing about the government is, they have guns and money, and could kill you or throw you in prison over the flimsiest pretext if they wanted to, and that's what makes them scary, not their personal feelings about Anton Levey and Alastar Crowley.
I honestly don't care much about the possibility of Satanism or Aliens or whatever in cahoots with the government. I wouldn't put it past them, but the Patriot Act makes me feel far more paranoid then any shadowy entity ever could.

One thing Ronin raises is the question of if the Pentogram was created on purpose, regardless of any occult or conspiracy theory.
So could it have been done for some more aesthetic value in the city? I know the French were VERY good at these sorts of things and unless I'm mistaken, they were supporting the U.S. back then so if they had involvement in the city planning, etc, then I could easily see certain steps being taken to achieve the look for simple appearances. Its likely that educated architects and city planners may have also been either trained in France, trained by French or gained much of their education from French sources.

yeah, I'm pretty sure it was designed that way on purpose, regardless of the reason. Apparently, it was designed by some french dude (go figure)...That's kind of funny:
'In early 1791, President Washington appointed Pierre (Peter) Charles L'Enfant to devise a plan for the new city in an area of land at the center of the federal territory that lay between the northeast shore of the Potomac River and the northwest shore of the Potomac's Eastern Branch.[28] L'Enfant then designed in his "Plan of the city intended for the permanent seat of the government of the United States...'
Anyway, Washington and Benjamin Franklin and a good number of people involved in the formation of the united states are well known to have been high ranking freemasons, just as a point of history. I was in Philadelphia earlier this year and went to independence hall and all that touristy shiesse too and was pretty surprised at how important symbols apparently were to these dudes and the formation of this country...freemasons or no. But there was a huge freemason influence there. That's why I find it's pretty plausible that they designed the streets with various symbols in mind.
./yawn I'm not sure anyone's really arguing anything...except you Churba, you seem pretty vehemently bent on this and the only one who really mentioned a conspiracy.

All we can really tell by that image is that the Pentagram was created - by some guy with a red pen and a ruler. As I said, possibly somewhat harshly to Ronin, is that there would need to be some pretty compelling evidence that it was built into the city on purpose, rather than it just being a coincidence. Because, y'know, I tend not to believe things without evidence, Big old meanie Sceptic here, remember.

Actually, now that Akashayi has confirmed to me that a frenchman was heavily involved in the planning, I'm even more convinced that it really could be intentional. I'm pretty sure you've been to France Churba, so you've probably seen what they're like in their wide-spread architecture planning the aesthetics like the setup of those parks and the whitehouse.
A good look at the centre of Paris on google maps and you can see that they go to those sort of lengths and think beyond the scale of individual buildings and their individual locations to their locations in relation to each other and with the entire city.
Again, I don't think its any kind of occult rubbish, but it wouldn't surprise me, now, if it was done intentionally.

I think if that was the case, ALL the streets designed by that guy would create some elaborate geometric figure.

I agree. I have been to france, and seen it from the air - If that were the case, then it wouldn't have been a pentagram laid out in public parks - point, I should look up those parks, see when they became parks, rather than anything else - but he wouldn't have stopped there, it would have been on a much grander scale.
-
the place he designed is a relatively tiny little area and all the streets are pretty.... french, maybe. clearly not designed for efficiency. Anyway, those points have been there all along :P

Anyway, I don't really agree. It makes sense to give extra thought to areas of extra importance. Like say, the White House.

Well, thanks for saving me the time.
Anyway, I don't really agree. It makes sense to give extra thought to areas of extra importance. Like say, the White House.
Yes, but that doesn't mean that it was intentional. It was a government endeavour, after all, and how often do you see governments doing something that makes sense, just for a start :P
Anyway - To me, it just looks like regular old modernish city design - Lay it out on a grid, and then provide major throughfares that cross large parts of the city as best you can according to the lay of the land. On top of that, looking at the more detailed maps on google earth, it seems that a LOT of roads lead directly to the white house area or grounds, or very close to, as one of the focal points of the city. Same with the capitol building. Also, from the maps you've provided, the area below the white house seems to not be an area intended for residential or business, it seems to be a lot of green-belt land, thus making sense that the area upward of the white house would be more of a focal point for through fares, and one of the first things there once you get off the park area is the white house - and certainly, the only one that makes sense to have a focal point near.
Occam's razor - More likely it was simply smart design of throughfares and streets(a useful, practical, and sensible purpose), rather than any particular picture intending to be drawn(an impractical purpose, and there is not many shapes you can make while not deviating enough from the design to make a difference to the way it works.).
-
I have also been to France and if you follow the history of the architechture you'll find that the French really did think on that scale for their Aesthetics. They still do.
The La Grande Arche which is part of the Axe historique is a good example. You look down through the Arc De Triomphe from the Place de la Concorde and you can see the La Grande Arche through it perfectly and appearing to be in scale with it from the human eye perspective.
That was planned. They ment to do that when they built the La Grande Arche and the area around the Place de la Concorde (translated: Harmony Square) is well known as a place central and in align with many of the greatest monuments, symbols and places, including Place de la Madeleine and Palais Bourbon with great effort put into achieving beautiful perspective of views whichever direction you look.
At this point, I think you might be ignoring or denying the evidence to continue applying Occam's razor because we're needing to make more assumptions that the city designer/s (people who see and create patterns on a large scale) somehow just happened to draw this up unintentionally and didn't notice the convergence and alignment of parks, streets and monuments created patterns and the like. Again, I don't think there was any occult plans behind it but I do believe it was intentional drawn up by these people to align these parks and monuments in a sort of pattern and with a level of relation to one another making the whitehouse a point of convergence for emphasis on it's position.

Yeah, like that time in Fullmetal Alchemist when they turn a whole city into a transmutation circle or whatever.
-
I'm feeling particulary Super Evil tonight. Not only have I got a bag of five LARGE choc chip cookies to myself my ten year old nephew is out in my two person tent so was thinking of setting up the garden hose on sprinkler say about 2 AM then around 4 or 5 AM set off a few Cookoo's just to give him that truly outdoor experience ;D ;D ;D
-
Save some of those cookies to decadently devour in front of him at the appropriate time.
-
pics or it didnt happen odd :P
-
Well thats the thing I left my NVG's (Night Vision Goggles) and other night vision equipment in the bushes under Selans window and the Sniper Night Scope up a tree "somewhere near" Keadon's house :-\
-
You're such a bad stalker!
-
Do have other things going on so it was easier to leave them in place.
-
Guess where they are now eh?
-
Hopefully nice and dry in your house and not either in the bin or up for sale on ebay.
(Disclaimer:other online auction sites are available)

True, but who uses anything besides eBay? and i dont consider Craig's List an auction site since you can sell your virginity and nobody seems to stop you 0.o
-
Used Victoria? (http://www.usedvictoria.com/)
They even have NVGs (http://www.usedvictoria.com/classified-ad/Bushnell-Night-Vision-Monocular--2.5x42_12693505)
-
and yet, ive never heard of them go figure :P
-
Most likely because you dont live in Victoria :P
-
haha we can only assume
-
I only put in that disclaimer so as be nice and legal.........dont want to get dragged to court over something like that while I'm still waiting to see if I go to court about my old flat being taken over by the bank :-\
-
Oh hey, there's a usedtoronto. Too bad I don't live there anymore. And a used nanaimo. But that just makes me think of someone selling a half eaten nanaimo bar. eeeew. >.>
-
Did you live in Nanaimo too?
-
oh, not at all :P
But nanaimo bars are delicious and I'm always missing them here in LA
-
well thats what you get for living in LA (as if the air wasnt bad enough)
-
you really cant get nanaimo bars anywhere?
-
oh, not at all :P
But nanaimo bars are delicious and I'm always missing them here in LA
There's a candy store near where I live that sells those. They're pretty tasty.
-
oh, not at all :P

From memory, about300 different kinds and brands of various confectionery, from all around the world. It's a candy store, what do you expect, dude?
-
Well, i personally would not expect nanaimo bars to be in a candy shop... they seem more like a bakery item to me.
-
yeah, or a drive through tim hortons and get the messiest thing you can imagine with your coffee item. o.O
-
When you guys say "Nanaimo Bars" I am reminded of a character from my favoite anime, Azumanga Daioh, Nyamo. :-*
I've never heard of them. What are those things like? I love Twix, Take 5 bars, and Reese's Nutrageous the best of candy bars, right now. What are y'all's favorite? :D
-
(http://lh6.ggpht.com/__JbJXVyijw8/TG2pUN4E0qI/AAAAAAAAAMg/ATlaDI-1WvE/nanaimo-bar.jpg)
Chocolate on top
custard in the middle
and coconut/chocolate mix on the bottom.
yummm.
as for chocolate bars, crunchie bars are my favorite.
-
nanaimo bars are little squares with a wafer crumb and coconutish layer, custard and then chocolate... to me they just have a very distinctive, delicious taste. (Like ontario butter tarts <3 Hello, homesickness again) Om nom nom.
(http://canada.lilithezine.com/images/Nanaimo-Bar.jpg)
edit, dude, pwncho, ninja-ing my description after I googled an image. i'm so posting this anyway
for candy/chocolate bars... I dunno, not much of a candy person these days
-
It looks kind of weird, but would probably be super tasty. My favorite donut is a chocolate custard-filled so I would probably love that kind.
-
Ok have to look out for that see if they have any here. My fave choccie bar is Cadbury's Fruit and nut. Always take a big bar out on the hill with me as emergancy rations..................but always end up eating it when I get back home.
-
My mom loved those... it's because she was from Canada, I think. Not that they are bad or anything, just that a lot of candies in Canada aren't popular here in the states. Like Smarties. It was years and years since I saw a package of them in the US and I haven't seen any since, but they were all over Canada. I wonder why that is. Maybe it's just that companies like Hershey's aren't as big over there...
-
Maybe it's just that companies like Hershey's aren't as big over there...
No, they are. We just happen to have all sorts of other awesome candies, too. :P
-
Yeah... for such a big country, the US is way too heterogeneous. Everywhere has McDonalds and Wallmart selling the same stuff. It kind of makes me sad. :(
-
Well, i personally would not expect nanaimo bars to be in a candy ship... they seem more like a bakery item to me.
They just sell them wrapped in plastic, they get them bakery fresh most days.
-
...just that a lot of candies in Canada aren't popular here in the states. Like Smarties.
Fuck, I love smarties!... now i have to go get some tomorrow... thanks ronin :P
-
You're welcome. It's one of the only things I remember about Canada. sigh.
-
Haha, found some that were left over from making my sisters birthday cake! Nomnomnomnom... mmmmm smarties.
-
Not only are smarties easy to get here - they're everywhere - I found out that nanaimo bars are pretty common.
-
where are you at the moment churba, if you don't mind my asking?
-
I heard loblaws (and maybe more) were having exchanges with Australia so we're getting Australian snacks and such while you guys are probably getting Canadian things. Not that it helps me in LA
-
We also have smarties in Holland, i just figured they where cheap M&Ms :-X
-
OOH SELAN! DON'T YOU BE TALKIN' BOUT MY SMARTIES! >:(
-
Ok now I want some Smarties :-\ and they used to be made near me as well until the factory closed down.
-
OOH SELAN! DON'T YOU BE TALKIN' BOUT MY SMARTIES! >:(
M&M's have better taste i think :-*
Also i prefer kitkat Chunky!
-
Every time I have M&Ms i wish i had smarties... M&Ms just dont to it for me.
-
M&Ms are awesome. They just don't have the same nostalgia for me that Smarties do.
It's like Cadberry cream eggs. They are kind of disgusting honestly (super sweet, super duper messy) but I love them because they remind me of my childhood and aren't sold in stores throughout the year.
Edit: I really want to try the new pretzel M&Ms I love any chocolate candy with salty pretzels in it.
-
where are you at the moment churba, if you don't mind my asking?
Everywhere at once. Provided by everywhere at once, you mean Brisbane, Australia.
I will note - They're not always CALLED the same thing, but I've seen them in various bakeries and stores around in the past few days, now that I'm looking for them.

sooo...hungry... :o
-
I found smarties...and they were awesome, but now my cravings have moved to nanaimo bars... a new quest is upon me.
-
I'd like some cheesecake.
-
so how many of you have ever crushed smarties and made the "snorting crack" joke? (ill admit i still do it and its still funny)
-
I find it rather telling that my textbook uses "White" all over the place, but never, ever uses "Black", always using "African American".
Um, "European American", plz kthnx?
-
Shuddup, Cracker.

Not to mention "white" also refers to hispanics. I would prefer the usage of "caucasian" or "non-native americans, but they still think they are"
-
Odd's Weird Thought Of The Day:Each time I hear the song "A little Tenderness" it reminds me of the opening credits from the film "Doctor Strange love (Or how I stopped worrying and begun to love the bomb)". You know the one it shows the B-52 bombers flying and being refulled in mid-air.

Race is not important. In fact we are all a lot more genetically close then we think we are. It's just another arbitrary way we cut ourselves off from one another.
-
I'M BACK!
Sorry I've been missing guys. Busy Busy Busy.
But, I Fly into L.A. 10:15am Sunday (tomorrow for me).
Heading as far South as San Diego, As far North as San Francisco and as far East as Las Vegas!
WOOT
Did ya all miss me?
-
So Who's up for a party in L.A. Sunday Night? Don't you guys have the Monday off to recover?
-
Erm who are you again? ;) :P
-
Elvis.... What? You actually believed I was dead? :P
-
So Who's up for a party in L.A. Sunday Night? Don't you guys have the Monday off to recover?
YES. It's labor day weekend, which means drinks are in order. Yes, yes?
-
HELL Yes!
I'm staying at THIS JOINT (http://www.parkplazalodgehotel.com/). But we're renting a car and I've got a GPS with U.S. Maps.
I was pretty much thinking dinner somewhere and then move on to the drinks, partying, drinks and more partying.
-
Ah it's too bad the nova express cafe that was right near there isn't still open.
This is going on this sunday too: (3 dollar sake and 5 dollar well special for this event, too :D [how is the aussie dollar doing, anyway?])
(http://ladead.com/images/flyers/orientalball2010_promob.jpg)
...interested?
-
Very interested. RSVP for two of us if it requires it. Can't fit a costume in the bag though :(
So dinner somewhere before that or straight into it? (what time does it open?)
Aussie dollar is doing bloody awesome right now. I think we're on about US$0.91 (We normally sit around $0.84)
P.S. we're only tentatively booked into the place since they wanted credit card details sent by E-mail and I haven't been keen on doing that. Out of interest. Is there anywhere better you'd recommend?
-
Forget the alternate accommodation. They've accepted full booking without us e-mailing our credit details *shrug*
Damn! I need to find something to bring along to fit in mildly with the theme... And my Smurf jocks don't count :-\
*sigh* probably can't bring the sword either *cry*
-
:D My rsvp is an automatic +1 but not plus two. They don't love pimps like me. (well, actually, they do) If -you- rsvp via facebook, you'll get your automatic plus one too.
http://www.facebook.com/maledictionsociety#!/event.php?eid=114527548601306
I'd love to do dinner (though my budget might not!). Anything in particular you're interested in trying? Could grab a bottle of sayuri (a big bottle is like 12$) for much cheaper predrinking of our own?
As for a hotel... I'll have to ask around some this afternoon. I'm a silly pseudo-native that really doesn't know much about the hotels here but I can at least make sure you guys aren't in the ghetto.
edit: Aw, that sucks.
For the theme, I have no idea what I'm going to wear. I tried wearing bokken on my waist one year to that event and they didn't let me bring it in! Good thing I'm friends with the general manager and he kept em safe.... Oh! You could go as a school girl ;P
-
I'll do some shouting for you. I'm in holiday mode. But I expect a awesome time from my guide.
Ok, I'm booked in. Looks like it starts at 10pm. Not sure what I'm after with Dinner. Just.... sit in dinner *shrug*
If you've got anything I can tack on to be a bit better in theme, please bring... then again, maybe I just need an Aussie cowboy hat 8)
-
you'd be a giant... aussie... ninja? My hakama probably wont fit you but you could try it anyway since they're giant loose things. hmmmm
Maybe we can find a good japanese place to make a theme night? :P
-
hmmm, like actually find a professional costume joint or something. Interesting.
-
oh, heh, that's possible too. though, I meant for dinner >.>
-
My memory is being brought back to some of the sex thread's images of how to serve a Japanese dish *lol*
-
Nyotaimori! The one place I knew for sure that served nyotaimori down here is closed though :(
(wouldn't surprise me to find others)
-
I have a costume/outfit.
Going for a sort of Business-Yakuza look *shrug*
See ya there.
-
Am I strange for setting up a webcam on the laptop I'm leaving behind so I can check from anywhere in the world how my home is going? Probably wouldn't catch a burglar in the act but a good way to check if the house has been hit only a day after *shrug*
-
I don't think that's strange at all. Remote computing ftw?
Stab burglars via ssh!

Well for obvious reasons I cant help with that one Chief lol

So, one of my hats now has a fan page. You can find it by doing a facebook search for That Fucking Hat. Join if you wish.
-
hat fan page? im very tempted to make one for my beanie now since i always wear it :D
-
Hat is now liked.
-
Nothing quite like a magical talking fedora
-
Except maybe an Badass Akubra 8)
-
ooooh snap. Forthcoming battle of the hats? Our resident Aussies stand off against each other's wide brims?!?!
"Bloody oath!"

Streweth mate a battle of the hats!! :o

What would your opinion be of a guy with the words "PIMP HAND" tattoo above his right set of knuckles?

So hey Flipsiders, since you know this is a comic about lesbians... happy National Coming Out Day (for the states.)
If you don't know, I totally dig having sex with men, women and genderqueer varieties of all sorts. :P I guess that makes me gay.
-
really? national coming out day is on thanksgiving? silly Americans.
Happy thanksgiving flipsiders! (and coming out day :))
-
Ah, christ, I need to message my family but it's a little late in Toronto right now...oh well. Damn living in the states :P
it's colombus day here or something, too.

Thanks, but my bisexuality is not exactly "big news". Anyone who knows me has probably already figured it out.
The only person I didn't want to know is my dad, and my moron brother told him last summer. :-\
-
I had a dream this morning that I was going to the airport with Gary and a black Subud lady and her kids. In the context of the dream I knew all these people. There was something about a bag of change and Gary's laundry. We had to get both of those things and get into our prospective cars. It was really stressful and I... kept getting in the wrong car or kept falling asleep for too long and not getting to the airport.
The scary thing was, I thought I was dreaming so I pinched myself. It hurt. But I didn't wake up. Instead, it hurt and I was still in the dream. That shouldn't happen. I am really kind of freaked out by this.
-
So. Yeah.

Happy halloween, guys :)
-
The sky is blue the grass is green may we have our halloween? ;D
-
I didn't really celebrate. Except that I ate a twix bar and am reading a spooky novel about ghosts and vampires. :'(
-
I never celebrated 'halloween' it's an invasive alien custom as far as I'm concerned.
-
Agreed!
We celebrate saint marten on the 11th of november, it's basicly the same but you don't dress up.
You go from door to door singing songs and after the song you get candy.
Halloween got here a few years ago, it's a second hand event that should've stayed where it belongs.
(radical opinions from me should never be taken personaly) :-*
-
We celebrate all saints day instead, very solemn and calm event, putting candles on the graves of loved ones, and for us few true christians, attending mass and communion. (most people in sweden are secular in all but church tax, christmas and easter.)
-
I don't know the origin.
I always hide behind the couch when kids ring the doorbell. Singing kids make me agressive
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHAu0X_uha4&feature=related
-
I live in a house with multiple appartments and internal stairwells, locked at ground level with code locks, so no kids, no Jehovas or other suicide candidates molesting my door :P
-
I have a sticker on my door telling door-to-door salesmen that they are not welcome, you wouldn't believe the amount of people that come to your door trying to get you to their powercompany or whatever you call it
-
If only a sticker would be enough...
We have our mail boxes inside the door at the ground entreance, and just about everyone has a 'No advertisements please' sticker. The result: Those bastards go up to the doors and put their crap in the newspaper holders outside each appartment...
-
LOL!
Well i am the only one in my block with that sticker but it does work.
Maybe you should ambush them with a trick wire, as soon as the put something in the mailbox they get splashed with milk
-
That's a waste of perfectly good milk. Though I could let them splash themselves with sewage water...
-
just set up a blank shot gun cartridge not sure what your laws are like over there Emp but here it would be illegal, some one has all ready tried it even though he had "Warning:Land Mines" up on his fence.
-
Well, considdering that you over here will be charged with 'causing bodily harm through neglect' if a burglar slips on an icy spot on your driveway after breaking into your house and stealing your valuables... And then it's illegal to own ammunition of any kind for any weapon you don't have a legal licence for...
-
ANYWAY. It's clear I have to bring out the big guns... I didn't want to have to do this but...:

Snowed in and watching the thunder storms

So I survived a trip to Jersey for Thanksgiving.
How was everyone's by the way?
Lots of turkey I hope.

dont have thanks giving here Keaoden and turkey is for Christmas

YAY! I survived a yomp to work this morning through the snow and got through my first day at my new job :)

How was it??
-
Terrible had to walk across to the other side of town through two foot high snow drifts,slush and ice. the buttons at the pedestrian crossings where frozen..............oh you mean work it was good the staff and residents where friendly, could not do much since I have not went through their training schemes.

i wanna beat the crap outa that guy for blowing himself up incompetently... its like in denmark a few months ago... a guy blew himself up. only other casualty was a toilet
-
Good ridence i say
-
Yeah I never liked that toilet anyways. And yes I am, Charles!
-
Though if he hadn't detonated prematurely, he could have killed hundreds and injured many more. Either way, the public reaction is more of a massive 'Meh... whatever.' than panic.
-
that may be because its the second bodged bomber this year in the general area.
i feel a bit safer in knowing that they are incompetent

are aussies ever not on fire? <3
Merry Christmas! (still just christmas eve in LA though) :-*
-
Merry Christmas from some frozen spot on the planet.
-
I repeat the sentiments expressed by my right honourable Formite above me but from a not very cold for a change (-3.9C) Scotland ;D
-
Greetings Mortals
-
Welcome to the forum!
-
thanks
-
pay no attention to the lobster behind the curtain.
-
if i was to pay no attention to the lobster, i would not be able to take note of anything he created and therefore not be able to read flipside...
-
Yes but if you pay him attention then he comes out from behind the curtain and begins to interact.
Best to leave it starved of attention so it creates even more pages in an attempt to gain recognition :P
-
Ignore who now?
-
i'm a nice person, i don't like ignoring anyone!
-
Just to let you know might not be around for a bit, going in for operation to remove my wisdom teeth tomorrow afternoon so going to be a bit sore and a bit giddy so going to stay away from the laptop.
C ye a' later :-*
-
good luck, hope you don't end up loosing too much wisdom :p
-
Hey thar everyone.. o.o. been a while since i was on here, no? I saw Brion at Ohayocon and got scolded for not being on here anymore.. ^_^;; Here i am! Yaaay!
update on me: ... I had a baby boy named Auryn.. He's a delightful little man whom i will be sharing a ungodly amount of pictures in the near future.. :)
How'er things here?
-
hi, i'm new here, found the comic a few weeks ago XD
-
This just in - Wierd Al concert at the Gold Coast on March 11th. (http://www.ticketmaster.com.au/event/1300456CF15FC021?artistid=772893&majorcatid=10002&minorcatid=51)
FUCKING YEAH.
-
Man is he still around... wow, awesome.
-
..So, I'm at the grocery store with Auryn picking out some wine. And i find these little 4 packs of moscato wine..and I'm like "that sounds good!" So i pick it up and he starts freaking out and trying to grab the 4 pack and put his mouth on it.. Thinking it's his bottle XD.. Poor guy.. When i put it back he got even more upset.. I had to run away!
-
Should of just let the wee man have it, would of kept him quiet for a few hours *whistle*
-
Now we know why odd isn't quite right in the head ;)
-
what do you meen now we know?
-
well you have just joined our merry band of Forumites Ryuu 8)
-
I mean that in scotland, all they admit to have of alcohol is ale and whiskey and neither is as kind to a baby as a french wine :P
-
my point is, i could tell straight away that odd isn't right in the head...
but then again, he is Scottish, so it's not his fault
-
.. What's wrong w/ being Scottish? I find Scottish men in particular very attractive.. they tend to have some of the best body / facial hair :D
And personally.. I'd think anyone w/ the name Oddball to be not quite right in the head.. considering the name in general.. <_<
So in other news.. i finally got a decent nights rest..and so did my son. We've been cooped up being sick all week again @_@. So i turned off the heat yesterday because it was int he 50's and opened up all the windows, hopefully to blow some of this illness out of the house!
-
scots are little better than welsh, they live in little huts on the side of mountains and throw things around (like trees)
-
and you forgot about the Haggis hunting as well Ryuu..............................But on a happier note I got my first draw at Warhammer 40K last night ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ok I ended up with the remains of a tactical squad with a bunch of blood thirsty Death Company outside the door of my objective at the end of turn seven, but I count that as win, I still held my point and denied it to the enemy ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
well done, next step is to wipe out the enemy
-
In a massive 80'000 points total apocalypse game:P
-
I am pretty sure my friend could do at least 1/4th of that with his tau army. The Manta he's got certainly helps...
-
There will probably be a manta at this one too.
Something that gave me a cool idea for superheavy flyers, jump infantry and flying transports.
How about a special rule saying that jump infantry in a flying transport may deep strike onto a hostile super-heavy flyer as if deep striking into dangerous terrain but with each 1/2/3 result causing a casualty (For each casualty, the super-heavy would take one glancing hit) then the jump infantry would get one round of cc attacks at the super-heavy, hitting on 5+. In the jump infantry's next movement they would compulsory deep strike onto the battlefield with a second normal dangerous terrain test on the ground.
The first dangerous terrain test representing the difficoulty at jumping from one flying vehicle to another without mis-judging distance, velocity and the effect on a flyer hitting what would essentially be a flock of very aggressive 600lbs 'birds'.
The second dangerous terrain test representing the dangers and difficoulties arising from beeing swept off of the outside of a flying combat vehicle, trying to avoid getting caught in the engine wash, avoiding arcing indirect fire trajectories, flak, shockwaves, aircraft, ordnance coming in from orbit, etc...

CRUD! Alright, a week ago I'm cutting the hedges and get to the last one when all of a sudden I spot this nest in it just after I've cut the top off. I check it and sure enough there's an egg in there and it still feels relatively warm. I put the branch back (it's been supported by a few others) duct tape the thing back and sure enough I see the mother has later returned and all is well.
I'm sitting here on the comp and I suddenly here some paniced ruffling of feathers and stuff outside. I get out there and sure enough there's a pile of feather's where once there was a bird and the egg is now alone. I've brought the egg inside, initially put it under a lamp but quickly read that its bad 'cos they need specific heat and humidity so I've held it in my palm while looking up some more info on the web and I can feel the little chick moving inside... and there's a slight break in the egg.
It seems to have calmed down on the idea of breaking out early (probably just all my moving it around) but what the heck am I going to do with this thing? Hopefully I can wait 'till the morning and call some animal rescue mob that I can take it to.
-
buy a birdcage and tame it!

I just wanted to share this information video about a vital piece of equipment:

it'll never work... they have it set up to spin the wrong way
-
And I reckon the dongle arm is dangling 2mm short of the dingle
-
Wow! Looks like Brion's messing around with the website right now.
I do like the slightly bigger text for the blog posts, but its probably just one, single, size too big.
-
It's snowing again :-\
-
haha, it sunny and relatively warm down here (warm for british winter that is)
-
Starting to jump between some cooler days and ones that are still as stinking hot as the middle of summer.
-
If I can say this: to me, it's kinda turned "graveyard silent" around 90% of the eintire forum... (I hope I said it right.)
-
You think so? I just put it down to all the different time zones we are scattered across.
-
I'd say the forum activity actually is very low compared to a year or two ago. Just think about how many people you know wo only turns up once or twice every few months who used to be a huge contribution to the activity in here... I'll give you a short list; Akasha, Toyota, Raz, Chag, Selan, Leana, and a lot more that have slipped my mind atm.
-
oh mistress my mistress, whereforart thou my mistress?
-
well for Mistress Akashayi and Selan I would put it down to work commitments, the rest victims of the Flipside Regime?
(have you been doing some human sacrifices to get a Chieftain tank again Emp? :P )
-
No, but I sacrificed my old heap of junk on wheels and my soul for a brand new car the colour of dark blood:P
-
i would post more, but other commitments have pulled me away (work and girlfriend mostly)
-
i can't think of what to say at times (pointless to say, i know). maybe i'll find out i CAN say at some point
-
Forgive my double-post, but my birthday is tomorrow (I turn 19!! I'm going out of town for the day. Not very much, but I need to get out of my place for sometime. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to enjoy cake and ice cream when I return home.
-
Oh boy. this place is so much deader then it used to be. In the good old days, we had tons of people on this forum. Now not so much. :(
I am really tired right now. I need to get more sleep.

we just gotta keep the flame burning until the old guard returns.

Build the stadium and they will come....................Oh sorry mind drifted there.

Oh i'll be back :)
But not now, my intense moodswings will burn you all to crisps.
I put a sneaky (Gone for a while) in my avatar whatever thingy but that's hardly noticable, unless you look up my account.
So yeah...

Until then, I guess all that remains is to count partly on a new generation of folks too.
... Bah, who am I fooling ? As if these youngsters could be reliable.

....and holy shit, my new job as an internet superhero is killing me. At least I'm no longer 'training' awkwardly long hours. And I'm moving in less than two weeks o.o
I miss you guys more than you know.
What's been happening around these parts?
-
Not enough :(
-
We'll have to do something about that, wont we.
Well, I have a special treat for you guys since I've been gone so long... after it's done uploading.
-
DON'T CLICK ON IT. IT'S A TRAP!
-
It's not up yet, how can you know it's a trap ?
-
I like treats!
-
Sounds promising... And tasty :-P

This sounds ominous if Akashayi needs time to up load some thing.........................................................and welcome back you've been gone tooooooooooooooo long!!!! :)

I have a (badly shot) video the everyday life of my difficult job as an internet ninja: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WM3H6WITiHs
Watch me losing at Rock Paper Scissors! Some back story, my company has a giant rock paper scissors tournament every year. And they mean serious business. The winner of the championship was flown to the UK last year. :)
-
Rock Paper Scissors is the real gentleman's way to fight.
You lost with honor to a guy that had some nifty kung fu moves.
-
more used to doing that either having one hand behind my back or "gun slinger" style :) you done well though.
-
Maybe it's a european thing? The guy I was playing is from Spain and was saying the same thing.
-
awesome and a half, especially the outfit!
-
Don't worry, the trick is in the wrist. Practice makes purfect.
Funny how scissors beats paper, but when you cover you eyes when someone tries to poke them (scissors hand) you put your palm in the middle (paper hand) and paper wins. :o
PS: nice outfit.
-
just one thing.....................when you win are you coming here? ;D
-
(I know double post but what the hell)
Just to explain my absence for the past week, one of my uncles died up North of me and attended his funeral today. Sorry to say was not in the mood for the forums I'm part of.
-
*sticks hand up* I'm not so you can easily avoid me ;D
-
I'm a poor boy anyway, so I can't go anyplace. I've never gone out of state (with one exeption), but still; i can't even go out of town. There are some (stupid or honest) reasons why, but I'm keeping this brief.
-
You live in a haunted town that kills anyone who tries to leave? ;)

Ninja Zombies have invaded, activating the town's containment system, raising 30 foot walls around the place and sealing you in to fight them or die and join the zombie ranks trying?

Finally recovered enough to be conscious.
Never sign up for a cosplay combat course without knowing exactly what you are getting into. X.x
Saw, both Brion, and Savage Sparrow there, got both of their book 1's and their latest. Figured that 1st editions of theirs will be worth a lot when they become famous. ;D
Savage Sparrow is great, isn't she? ;)
...also, cosplay combat course?

That's what I love about conventions/fetish parties. The freedom from normal inhibition. Makes for great times. :)

Sexpo is great for that *lol*
I think thats coming up in June (got put off due to the Brisbane floods)
You going Churba?

Hah. Lady Stormtrooper wins.

Kakashi's and Vault 101 are really good, and the deco is just... oh who am i kidding, Stormtrooper ftw!
-

Yeh, don't get me wrong, the others are really good at being on model. But, the sheer randomness of the femme trooper. It could have been a guy wearing the helmet, and a Hawaiian T-shirt, and it would still win.
-
Hah. I'm wearing that real men carry swords bigger than they are shirt today. >.>;
-
Anyone watch the royal wedding yesterday ::)? I did (the BBC coverage), but I roll my eyes because I imagine that most of you didn't. It was rather enlightening, actually, especially the sermons about marriage. It's good to know that the royals take it seriously. And the on-the-street interviews with the children were pretty funny :).
-
tried to avoid it by hiding in the shed.
-
The problem with living in such a huge city is that sometimes, transport can be rather tricky. In other words, I'm sweating fucking spinal fluid trying to get out to Hamilton by 5PM.

I want to say something, but... now I'm so scared something will go wrong...

I found a cigarette in the pocket of my shirt last night that was crinkled, liquid-stained, and smelled of beer. Smoked it anyway. It actually wasn't that bad.
-
Ahh, it was only a 5pm start with the message to show up anytime after that Churba *lol*
Still, I can tell you the story with that ciggy. A bunch of people were heading down for a drag, you went to make a few roll-your-owns to join them. Spent quite some time and took care, then put one in your mouth and had a few final words to someone which caused the cig you'd been carefully working on to fall from your mouth, right into your beer... We may have had some laughs at the Cig's misfortune.
Never-the-less I'll let all know that the Cig survived the drama and was still able to accomblish it's purpose later.
-
Didn't watch the wedding. My grandmother did though. Got up at 4:00am and all. Course, she's British. So she's a little more invested in that than I. I wish them all the best, but, I've no interest in watching weddings.
-

I was wondering about that, though I suspect the time and great care was mostly from not quite being co-ordinated enough to make the movements required without quite a bit of concentration.
As for the start time - The problem was that if I hadn't caught a way over close to then, I would have had a hard time getting there at all, but luckily, one of my mates lives out that way, and was going past my place on his way home from work.
-
Good stuff.
I'd have to say that one of the highlights of the night was Churba, My 88 year old Grandad, one other mate and myself all singing some ancient old drinking song from my Grandad's war days.
Was it just me or did you actually know the words to that Churba?
Glorious! Victorious
One Barrel of beer betwen the four of us!
Glory be to God, there isn't any more of us,
'cos one of us could drink the flaming lot!
I'll be there (I'll be there)
I'll be there (I'll be there)
When the beer is on the table I'll be there
When the beeeeeer is on the table
When the beer is on the table I'll be there

So where's the video? :D

Yeah, and that was pretty epic too ;)

Who agrees with me when I say... "Silence was meant to be broken"? :P

To that, I can only respond:

Okay, I have a confession to make... I don't really care that much for the Depeche Mode. I don't *Dislike* them really, so much as a general feeling of "meh." When they come on the radio. But it wasn't until recently that I realized how many people out there DO like them. A lot. Vehemently so.
Please don't stone me. It hurts.
-
Hahaha, I'm not a vehement depeche mode fan, just the subject matter was too perfect as a response. You're safe. ...for now.

got one thing to say: really missed you crazy lot while I've been off.

*sniff* we missed you too oddball *cry*

I've missed you too buddy. :-\

-
I'm once again being paid to drink and smoke on expenses, this time, interviewing for a magazine. Oorah!
I might be a hopeless prick, and look like hammered shit wrapped in a leather jacket, but how many people can say they get paid to drink and talk shit? And I even get to tell y'all about it from my phone, from my favorite karaoke and cheap drinks dive-bar.
Hey, all those fuckers who said I'd never get anywhere in life? Hope you enjoy your office, cocksuckers! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Fuck me, Journalism is great.
-
As long as you stay honest Churba :) I get paid to destroy things every so often. Still doesn't quite make up for the times where I'm NOT paid to destroy things though.
-
I get paid for cutting wood and placing/nailing/drilling it, to build a dock. Meh, at least it's only once a week and it pays well. :D
-
Okay, so on a more serious note that most of my posts, I was on my way home, and I happened to be present at (But not involved in thankfully) a three vehicle wreck. It wasn't very pretty, I ditched my bike and ran over to see if there was anything I could do to help. Turns out, not much.
I've got plenty of experience in treating sprains, burns, and general lacerations, but it's all been learned "the hard way" so to speak, because I've volunteered at a couple of clinics.
I'm wondering if there's any EMTs/Paramedics in the crowd here.
I've been meaning to take a CPR class for years, but some how have never gotten around to it. So my question to any paramedics out there is what kind of classes do I need to take to be a better prepared good Samaritan? I'm not looking at becoming an EMT or anything, but here I was, in the shoes of first responder, and I'd like to be able to better fill those shoes next time.
-
Had first aid training from Ski patrols/ R.A.F/ Civilian Mountain Rescue Teams(along with winter survival skills) and courses at work.
-
I would say to contact your local ambulance service, at least here in BC we have the saint John's ambulance service which provides first aid training for emergency situations.
-
The most i had is a small guide to emergencies, but small things, like fractures, burns and such. It's quite helpfull still, but dunno where else to get further training.
-
Posting frequency has dropped, because I've been busy as hell. Vehicle work, crazy bill collectors insisting I owe them money, ( I don't, honestly.) tracking down a burglar, trying to finish up so many projects at once... not a lot of net time. So no, I haven't abandoned you. Just... neglecting maybe? ;d
-
aw :( I'm right there with you L0g0s... been working 13 hour + days between training people and being trained with higher systems work myself and doing the jobs of two....
about ready to collapse.
On that note, I'll also be bringing my tired ass to Anime Expo this year during some of my off hours~
-
Damn guys, don't be so hard on yourselves! I for one wouldn't want any flipsider to work him/herself to death before I get the chance to meet them in person :)
-
I'm with you. Except for the training course I just went on, its been balls to the walls here at work and at home with "Bun" on the way. My sister and brother in law along with their two small children have also been staying with us for the past two weeks in what was supposed to be an overnight stay, but the bloody volcano dust cloud has canned flights to New Zealand and they're still here 'till Sunday.
Oh well, at least I'm going away for a dirty weekend tomorrow (babymoon I think they call it), right back to the original honeymoon spot of 8 years ago.
I still remember working over 100 hours a week for around a year back when I first became a systems admin. Bloody near killed me but got me into the position I'm in today and I do far less than that now-a-days.
Yeah, I hear ya Logos and Akashayi, and I'm reminded of a certain poster that people need on their walls in times such as this:
(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0QLieH5s4Bc/TQTr_ZpVNuI/AAAAAAAAARc/bYMxMJDX3a0/s1600/hanginthere001.jpg)
-
Actually, the poster I have at work shows a screaming man running with his head on fire.
"Caution: Workers on FIAH!"
Yeh, I made that one myself. I added a
"Caution, do not inhale fumes, no matter how good they smell." as well. Thank you portal for that idea.

I've got this in my workplace with a stickypad attached at the bottom for writing the number on.

I've fallen really behind with a lot of stuff in here and other websites, bit like the rest of you tired and busy at work.
-
I hate feeling old and overworked like this Odd, but it's bringing me to good places in life :) ./fistbump
On the other hand, when I wasn't working, I helped Brion sell maybe 2 and a half books at anime expo this year. Hahaha. A pity we forumites can't all meet up at places like ax.
Pozf was there too, lol.
-
Got a few weeks off work and after a few days off I feel better. Bit annoyed though got into such a routine now that I woke up at 0530 to get ready for work lol
-
Ah man, you'll get out of that routine just in time for work again!
I've been working weird hours....nights, and training someone working in our uk office. So hey, bonus, up the same hours as you crazy folk ;)
-
That was a bit like my sister when she worked for a magazine in London, she had to deal with the American advertisers and ended up working all sorts of hours.
-
Just before I went on my vacation I felt like a floor rag that's been used way too long. I was so stressed out I even got in a fender bender with the job's car, some how managing to not see a 12m semitrailer and hitting it on the side at low speed, me turning left he coming from the right...
-
I'll see if I can make you one in the Workshop of DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM Smiles
so how is the cat that shoots lazer fire from it's mouth coming? ;D i suppose it's not in the mail on the way to my place already. ::)
the Last Of the Harry Potter movies was Fabulous! :-* just wanted to say. yeah. :-*
-
I don't think i have seen the 6th complete, i'll watch it, then the other parts together, and see how it goes.
In another page, i was having a meeting with my schoolmates tonight because of winter break starting, and the day sucks, it's hot, but cloudy, a bit of raining every now and then. Now i'm stuck with a friend trying to figure out what are we going to do. :S
Oh well...
-
Sorry Smiles it got locked up in the cellar when I was airing it after it got flooded out and died due to dehydration and no food.
-
i';m back bishches

-
yeah, work girlfriend and exams. works got a week left, probably doing last exam tomorow and i broke up with my girlfriend, so now i'm able to have no life and post on forums again
-
Why the break up?
-
Bombing 30 minutes from where I live. Oslo, Norway. I could hear and feel the bomb go off.
Official numbers: 7 dead, 2 severely injured and 15 injured.
Two hours after this, a gunman started shooting down kids on the leading parties youth camp. Official numbers: 10 dead. Unofficial 30+ dead, several wounded. A bomb was found in his car afterwards. He was arrested.
This sucks...
-
New tally for shooting. 80 people slaughtered on the island. I don't even know what more to write so...

Hear about it. Glad you were out of harm's way Brekkjern. Hopefully he was alone and nothing else will come of it.

It seems like Chag4 is ok too, judging by her recent twitter
-
Saw this on the news yesterday. World's crazy. :-\
-
*carefully sticks head out from around a corner and waves shyly*
... hi guys..?
-
brekky-> O.o
chag! *huggles* :-*
-
You've been sorely missed Chag! *glomps*
-
Good to hear you lot are safe :)
and what F%%KING gets me is that this disaster is going on in Norway and the main story is that Amy Winehouse has crocked >:(
-
And it's not as if Amy Winehouse was completely unexpected... it was only a matter of time there.
However I WILL be surprised if her COD was anything but massive organ failiure due to long-time addictions of multiple toxic substances or suicide.

Of course, don't forget accidental overdose - Not quite suicide, but she was a known drug user, and also had other health complications which may have caused problems in some fashion. We shall see.
-
Damn, I was out at the Mana Bar last night and forgot to call and see if you wanted to join me there Churba.
Another day.
But hey! You, Chag4 and Razzly have all posted back here so good to see some of the old crew returning a bit. :-*

Hey, I started my own book thread in the pop culture section, I'd like to know if people would be interrested in reading it. I mean, there isn't much point in posting if nobody cares about books.
-
i like books ;) we should have a big WB party. ^_^
:-*
-
Typical you lot plan a party when its my weekend on earlies at work!
-
Who said the party have to be in the weekend?
-
oh even more reason to celebrate. After over a year the Workshop of DooooooooOOOOOOOOOommmmmmmMMMMMmm has resuscitated the Land Rover Huzzah!!
-
Congrats!
And I've just undercoated about 50chaos marines, half a dozen tanks and three flying vehicles:P
-
I saw an original mini today! I want it!
Me and a friend plotted to get the two hot guys who were driving it drunk, and then my friend would seduce them and I'd take the car. I wanted the car, she just wanted a couple of hot guys.
-
Well, what didn't work with that plan?
-
I can't drive.
-
I can't drive.
That doesn't stop literally hundreds of thousands of other people every day. Now's the time to learn!
Remember,
If not NOW, then WHEN?
If not YOU, then WHO?
Go for it!
-
OOOOOOOOOHHHHH OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHh was it a Mini Cooper? you can tell if it has the leather straps holding the bonnet down.

There's nothing wierd, it's just that the tendrils (i don't know if that's the correct term) spell "OCTOPUS".
I ain't shitting brix, last time i checked.
EDIT: wait, the OCTOpus only has 7 tendrils?
-
Huh... so it does. Yeh, I ain't shittin brix either yet.

so isn't it a squid instead of an octopus if it doesn't have 8 tentacles?
-
so isn't it a squid instead of an octopus if it doesn't have 8 tentacles?
No, because squid have ten appendages, two tentacles, and eight arms, while octopuses have four sets of two arm pairs, and usually no tentacles. When you're talking about the Class Cephalopoda, arms are of equal length, and usually have suckers on the entire length, while tentacles are elongated, and only have suckers at the tip.

CHARLES. I want you to know. Last week was made hell thanks to our Sydney POP.
I think switches and servers in Australia must be cursed and maybe you are the only competent sysadmin in aussieland. :O
-
I'll try turning them off and on again ;)
Don't worry though, they'll all be getting replaced and upgraded with the coming NBN.
-
huh, I wonder what nbn will mean for us, since I work at a cdn now :)
tirelessly around the clock (still kinda working) to make sure all of you around the world are delivered streaming porn at breakneck speeds. You're welcome.
-
Now I know why I liked you from the start 'kasha!
Oh, and is it possible for you to watch some of that as a form of 'latency testing' ;-)
-
our noc does that sometimes ;)
it can get interesting to walk by on the way to my desk... heh. (and we're a backbone for more than just porn)

Well, in terms of network operations, I wouldn't imagine it would be too different in pure function, but volume is going to get interesting - To the best of my knowledge, most of what they're doing is replacing the copper infrastructure we have at the moment with a GPON, and upgrading the local hardware to match. Essentially, converting our copper network over to Fibre to the Premises. So, in theory, the biggest change will be that you will have 96% percent of internet users in Australia able to pull down something in the region of 100 Megabits per second average, but increasing until it's at roughly a gigabit per second average in eleven years time.
Though, dare I say you'll have time to prepare, with the speed it's being rolled out at. And as a bonus, it might convince someone to do something with all the dark fibre laying around in the US.
Edit - I'm sure there are a hundred reasons why I'm entirely wrong - as is the norm with this sort of thing - but frankly, I've had a pretty fucking evil day, and I do not give the slightest utterance of the concept of giving a fuck.
Double edit - Not telling the story is a little unfair, if I'm going to be all angry like, so here's the outline - spent the day investigating legal options on a client who after I acted as a go-between on a sale of a small antiquity, basically said "Well, we have it now, thanks, fuck off" and are not paying me my commission. But with the lack of paperwork on the rush job, and the fact that the small amount of paperwork they were given they have apparently destroyed or denied the existence of - which I don't have copies of - I have no ability to legally prove they just ripped me off to the tune of three grand. So, legal options, pretty much entirely zero, and likelihood of managing to win if I did try and use the few options that remain, absolute zero. All I can do is spread it to my network of contacts that they ripped me and therefore blackball them, but it won't do much. I'm super, super pissed off right now.

@Churba: :( Sorry to hear that mate. Always crap when people pull shit like that. I see the post is dated back to the 2nd of August, so I hope all is going much better now.
Sorry I've been away people, but there's an addition in my life which is eating up a lot of time... Yep... Super Smash Bros Brawl.
But beyond going through the usual parenting things, the only new event is that I picked up a stray dog that was wondering the streets the other day. Some Staffy cross Cattle dog I think. Couldn't hold him for the pound as he's a little hyperactive and we don't want that with out little girl around, but if the pound come back to me that they couldn't find his owners or a home, I'll probably foster him until a family can be found.
Until then, I've put up a "found" notice in various local websites and am checking the "lost" notices on those websites daily.
-
Wow! Who knows how long I've been gone... I haven't checked in often and I see things are still happening. I haven't really kept up with the comic cuz my interest kinda faded and I'm not sure if it will recover. I'm still trying to figure out why I still exist, how video games have become my only interest when I have other interest yet I lack skill, persistence, patience, confidence, and optimism, why I have to wallow in ignorance for the rest of my life, knowing it will get me nowhere, therefore questioning my purpose and existence, why I feel like no one living on this planet was meant to live because things come at a price in order to breathe and live and survive on this God-forsaken Earth, and why I believe the word "happiness" is one big, fat euphemism to every living beings' ignorance. [Deep breath]
Too much to handle? Sorry. I'm just trying to figure things out...
Apart from all that jazz, I'm still breathing and playing video games (God knows how and why) and I'm hoping one day I'll catch up on the comic.

Sorta - I can tell you my standard employment contracts are ALWAYS signed in at least double now, and I have a new "Fuck you, Pay me" clause.

And a little pick-me-up in the gloom!
Yesterday evening a little kitten of 15 weeks arrived in my apartment as a permanent new family member!:)
Pics will be provided soon!
-
I just wanted to say hello to you all again, had other projects on so have been in here for a bit. MISSED YOU GUYS!!!!
-
I just want to say, over time kind of sucks. I mean really, sure, I don't make all that much in the first place. And at first, you'd think, hey extra money? That rocks right? Well, first, my tax rate goes from about 1/5th of what I make up to 1/3rd. Then it takes away my time that I usually work other jobs, that don't raise my tax rate, and pay better in the first place. And any free time. So basically, I eat, I sleep, and I'm at work. That's just plain not living anymore man!
-
I'm here to tell you guys i'm not dead.
I am leaving tho...
I was thinking about everything i could write but the fact is, i can't write anything.
I suck at talking so i leave it at that.
Thanks for 6 years of awesomeness, and who knows. I might return one day.
Bye bye.
-
:.( Sad to see you go Selan, but well wishes to you and hope to hear from you again some day!
-
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BDL you can't GO!!!! :o :o :o :( :( :( :( :(
Take care and have huge amounts of fun! CYE later Selan *sniff*
-
We lost Selan! :'(
Just about lost me I think. Strewth my life's been busy. Not just with baby Evelyn. Work and everything else has been hectic.
So whats been happening around here? Seems kinda quiet.
-
It's frighteningly quiet sometimes
-
Just been busy with work (getting beaten up) and building my WH40K armies..................Oh Emp ordered a Chaos Prince the other week. Something BIG and NASTY to go with my Soul Grinder ;D ;D and my Dark Angels 5th Company is complete with a couple of half strength units.
-
It has been quiet. I peek in every now and then, but, I try not to double post, and since everyone else has been quiet...
Don't want to have a conversation with myself. :)
-
lots of people have stopped posting. kinda makes me sad actually. :(
-
But I am always watching...! O.O
-
I still has flipside forums as my starting tab, but there are so rarely anyone of the people I care for that's online at the same time that I don't post much myself either :(
-
I'd put it down to the holidays. Probably see more people start to crawl back in like me after another week or two. There was the Christmas break in Flipside and its been on about Maytag's past for a while, so likely to pick up now.
EDIT: *sigh* except for Selan :(
-
Aye and there goes any chance of a Flipside Euro meet.
-
Don't say that. There is always hope! (Not that I am working very hard at making any hope. *ashamed*)
-
I'd be happy to host a euromeet though
-
Excellent! ;D my plan worked! MMMMMMMMWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
-
Though I have to warn that there are limited space, only one small bathroom and a resident insanely curious rascal of a Sphynx cat named Sam (after LoTR)
-
I'll pack my Bergen and two person tent................any where suitable?
-
I was thinking having everyone crash in my sofa-bed, lounge chair-beds and on the floor
-
Ok that sounds good, I'll pack my Bergen,roll mat and sleeping bag.
-
heh bnow if only i could come too
::)
-
Naughty smiles ;) Well, there doesn't seem to be many takers so far so there is space, closest international airport is Kastrup (Copenhagen) in Denmark
-
Thought there would be some near than that Emp.
-
Nope, but from there, the train takes 20 min to Malmo across the bridge (no additional passport checks) and then the bus takes 40min tops to arrive a 5min walk from my appartment. or I could meet up in Malmo and make the drive home in 25 min.
-
Nice and that's about a few hours flight time from me if I can find a airline that goes there.
-
Ok double post but this is important(ish): it's do able from my end Emp just have to wait for my next round of hols starting at the end of March, won't be able to do July since all ready have plans.
-
Well, I'm strictly busy the last two weeks of March, but any other time can be made to work.
-
I can't afford to travel right now. D:
-
:( well it might not happen this year but soon.
-
Now that I finally have a job, I might be able to travel to some conventions this year. I've only been to one, and that's the one next to my house at the NY State Fair Grounds.
-
Not for the summer either Chag?
-
I'm unemployed, and even if I did get a job I'm not prioritising travel at this point in life. Even a Euromeet would come after my own apartment and a real bookcase.
-
Understandable, So see it as a standing invitation :)
-
excursion over the border Emp? 8)
-
What kind of border? :P
-
was thinking along the lines of a quick snatch and grab.
-
I miss you guys ;_;
-
Lifes been hectic, but i'm back :)
-
Welcome back then!
-
It's been ages! I can't remember when i last posted

What about a Scottish pound note?
-
Scottish notes are legal tender
-
notes have weight now? lolz :P
-
Well Scottish notes are kind of a grey area shall we say, they are not legal tender but they do get accepted..........just lol
-
I thought I saw a news story just yesterday about a guy building a house out of Scottish notes. To the search engine!
*Jeopardy theme music*
Ah, it was Euros, and the guy was Irish. I apologize to any Scotts in residence for the mistake.

Ah don't worry they are both Monopoly money any.
-
On a random note, trying to buy a house is stressful.
Also, if you ever find your self in need of medical care, be sure to anticipate this by about 3-4 months. As this is apparently the amount of time it takes to get an appointment. Though if you go into the lobby and yell, "I'm going crazy, RIGHT FREAKIN' NOW!" They will give you at least one immediate appointment. Doesn't speed up follow up appointments however.

Ok how about this: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/space/8091965/Nasa-unveils-bold-plans-to-send-humans-one-way-to-Mars-to-colonise-planet.html
Nasa unveils bold plans to send humans 'one-way to Mars to colonise planet'
Humans could be sent one-way to Mars under ambitious plans being investigated by Nasa to permanently colonise other planets in space.
Space agency officials confirmed feasability studies were under way to asses whether astronauts could be permanently sent to the red planet, or its moons, to establish human colonies.
The multi-billion pound mission, titled Hundred Years Starship, is being spearheaded by the Ames Research Centre, one of Nasa?s main research centres, based in Moffett Field, California.
Officials from the Pentagon's Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) are also heavily involved in turning the science fiction idea into a reality.
Early estimates put the cost of such a mission, which has ?just started? at more than ?7 billion and could be achieved by 2030.
Scientists have been given ?600,000 government grant ? including ?100,000 from Nasa ? to start research into the idea, according to US reports.
The world?s billionaire?s, including Larry Page, Google?s co-founder, have been asked to help fund the project.
Pete Worden, the Ames director, confirmed the plans to a conference in San Francisco at the weekend.
?You heard it here. We hope to inveigle some billionaires to form a Hundred Year Starship fund,? he told the Long Conversation event at the Contemporary Jewish Museum.
?The human space program is now really aimed at settling other worlds. Twenty years ago you had to whisper that in dark bars and get fired.
?Within a few years we will see the first true prototype of a spaceship that will take us between worlds.?
Such a space journey would take up to nine months with volunteers embarking on the mission knowing they would never return to earth.
This is because the cost of returning astronauts to earth would make the project prohibitively expensive. Supplies would be sent to make them self-sufficient.
Such a mission would be gruelling for humans with forbidding conditions including sub-zero temperatures and a thin atmosphere.
Mr Worden said Mr Page was keenly interested in the project.
?Larry asked me a couple weeks ago how much it would cost to send people one way to Mars and I told him $10 billion and his response was, ?can you get it down to 1 or 2 billion?,? he said.
?So now we?re starting to get a little argument over the price.?
But he admitted that he did not know how such a mission would work in reality.
"How do you live in another world? I don't have the slightest idea," he said.
"If you're a conservative, you worry about it killing us; if you're a liberal, you worry about us killing it.
?I think things like synthetic biology have lot of potential for that. I think rather than make an environment on Mars like Earth, why don't we modify life ... including the human genome ... so it's better suited to [Mars]?"
A DARPA spokesman later confirmed details of the mission.
"A key element of the study is exploring models by which sustained co-investment by the private sector in these areas can be incentivised,? he said.
?The study is currently in the early formulation stage, but will be entirely open and unclassified, with more details forthcoming in early 2011."
It comes as researchers claimed such a human mission was technologically feasible and was cheaper returning astronauts to earth.
Their new study, in the Journal of Cosmology, found the costs of safely returning a crew would eat up the majority of such a mission?s budget.
Dirk Schulze-Makuch, from Washington State University and Paul Davies, from Arizona State University, said four volunteer astronauts could undertake the first mission to permanently colonise Mars.
?A one-way human mission to Mars would not be a fixed duration project as in the Apollo program, but the first step in establishing a permanent human presence on the planet,? they said.
?There are many reasons why a human colony on Mars is a desirable goal, scientifically and politically.
?The strategy of one-way missions brings this goal within technological and financial feasibility.?
They added: ?Nevertheless, to attain it would require not only major international co-operation but a return to the exploration spirit and risk-taking ethos of the great period of Earth exploration, from Columbus to Amundsen, but which has nowadays being replaced with a culture of safety and political correctness.?
Such a mission would come with natural ?ethical considerations?, they admitted.

Yeah, I kind of like it too
When I saw the forum had changed I was terrified all the old posts might have been lost, :'(
Phew!

Hugs are nice :)
Almost as good as kisses
-
mmmm but you can hug more people than kiss. ;D
-
Wow, yes, the forum does look different.
Oh, by the by, I am still alive! (barely, but still kickin! [Okay, maybe not *kickin'* per se...])
-
mmmm but you can hug more people than kiss. ;D
That's one thing that makes me a bit sad sometimes ;)

Duuude, new forum man... I's all trippin' out guys...
-
._.
There's a thief in my building stealing cars right out from the parking garage /worry
-
That's no fun :( You got a car of your own down there?
-
of course ... ._.
-
but if he/she's stealing them out of the garage, doesn't that narrow down the number of suspects quite significantly?
-
Hello everyone!!
The page with wet Regina made me sign in. How is everyone? At a quick glance, it seems like a lot of the people I love are still here. :-*
Sorry I haven't been around in a while. Sure have been disgustingly busy.
Things are getting better though lately I would have to say.
-
Looks like car theft is a big thing just now, my big sis living in a small village down in Englandshire some where called London, had her car stolen last weekend. They just broke in took the keys and a packet of ciggies and nothing else all while they slept up stairs. Sounds like the car was stolen to order.
-
Life been hectic, barely managed to keep up to date with flipside (well theres my first lie, flipside is no trouble, it comes first :3) but not been around the forums for a while, so i thought i would come say hi.

<3 Tease, come back and tell us more about how you are
-
*Crawls in*
G'day all. I've been missing you all, I assure you.
Life in general has just been busy... and still is... but what the heck, I've got to make time for personal indulgence.
I'M BACK BABY!
-
WOHOO!
The Aussie with the weird beard is back! (with or without beard I wonder...)
How's the missus and the babe?
-
With beard... currently trimmed relatively neatly.
Mrs is going through the woes of a baby who doesn't want her mummy out of sight. Although she's starting to get past that phase a bit now.
Evelyn is nearly 10 months old, has taken two unassisted steps and can say a number of small words.
Its fascinating to see all the small things she works out. Start by picking up objects and simply putting them in the mouth, then see what happens when you shake them, test what happens if you bang them on the floor and finally try picking up two objects and baning them together. More recent developments are a word association and action in clapping. I say clap and she claps. For ages she would take a toy out of the box or something from somewhere, play with it or look at it and drop it right there. Recently she's begun experimenting with putting the object back, starting with the pens I keep in my pocket which she's decided to try putting back instead of dropping and many other things. She'll give you an object she has if you hold your hand out and take it from you if you offer it.
One bad habbit she picked up from visiting cousins is dropping food off the side of the feeding chair. She simply picks it up, puts her hand sideways and immediately drops over the side. With her cousins it was a bit of a game but she doesn't seem to take any joy in doing it, she just does it as though it's the proper thing to do... Not sure how to get her out of that one.
She's in the top percentile for both height and weight at her age. Around 80cm long and 10kg. include the relatively early crawling and near walking and she can easily be mistaken for an older child. I'll have to find photos and post 'em.
-
Charles, maybe simply being ready to catch the food and placing it back on the tray while saying "no." ? She might think it's a game, or she might start to get the implication.
-
Heya flipsiders :)
Just a young aussie here who found flipside a while ago, but never joined in with the forum. (I think I have 3 posts?)
Thought I'd drop in and say g'day ;D
-
Charles and I are Australian, too. Welcome!
-
<3 Tease, come back and tell us more about how you are
Akasha!!!! I have missed you!! Well no that's not true. To be honest I didn't miss you until I logged into the forum, but the effect was instantaneous!!
Then I saw some of your latest pictures in the Picture Thread, and I missed you in a different way...the way of never having met you in person. Want to visit Taiwan?
Charles, Churba, Oddball, E_D, hello and well met! Not sure where the "well met" came from, but I saw a choir singing medieval songs the other day, dressed up like pipers and fiddlers and what have you. Nice to hear of your baby experiences Charles. I sort of thought she'd be older by now, since I always feel like time's flying.
Ryuu, not sure if I know you. Did you change names?
edit: Warning!! Life story follows:
Anyway, thanks for asking. I'm fucking busy as fuck. It's good though. Teaching English at a really strict and serious school. I yell at kids fairly often. We have a lot of fun in class tho. I've gotten a lot better at the fun part actually. My kid (soon to be both of them) is in a Waldorf (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waldorf_education) school which is awesome. It's the first one in Asia, and is sort of a center for Waldorf education in Asia. A lot of different travelling teachers and performance groups come through. My older son actually misses the States pretty hardcore though. He lived there from like 1 to 7 years old, and he still associates with it. It's not quite the same here, his classmates are kind of wilder and less polite, even though they're just playing, he's an intellectual kid and I think is craving some more stimulation. He has said that he loves it here and loves his school before though, even though the last couple days he's been expressing differently. We have a homestay from Australia (woop woop!) right now, and I think she reminds him of home, even of his Grammy, and I think that may be why he's missing the US.
I don't miss it a bit, myself. From here, hearing the news and just seeing how people are, I feel like the US is a pretty backwards place, what with the politics and some of the prevailing attitudes towards sex, religion, and education, among other things. I love how there's the puritan undercurrent of "we are actually not sexual beings" while the media is completely full of the worst kinds of fake, unrealistic sexual imagery and sex appeal is woven into how people normally attain success. Not that there aren't advantages that the US has over Taiwanese culture, but I just feel like the rest of the world is generally more honest and comfortable with itself than the US.
There's so much to tell I don't really know which angle to take. As before, fidelity or lack thereof is a big part of my life. I guess I'll leave it at that. The women here are CRAZY HOT!!!!!!! I can't fucking stand it. I just should have sowed my wild oats when the time was right, because I do love my wife. Our marriage is sort of up in the air though, and we need to find time to get some counseling hours in. The women here though are seriously painful to look at though. Luckily I have had a bit of luck in flirting and so forth. I know it's bad because I'm still married, but it's something that I really need in my life. I have needed it for years, and it's one of the key things that makes me happy.
My body is much better looking now than when I was in the states because my job requires a lot more energy and it sort of encouraged me to take better care of myself and work out. I'm slightly buff, though there's a stubborn layer of beer fat keeping me from really being cut. I don't want to be huge, but I wish my muscles showed up a bit more. It's so hard to get rid of that last little bit though, esp. if you like beer as I do. However, I'm showing my age and stress levels in my face. Also, I still harbor less than optimal sleep habits. :-[ It is also good for business to stay in shape, because parents (usually moms) sit in our classes with their kids, and I think it helps to give them a little beefcake for their domesticated lifestyles (Taiwanese ladies love white guys).
Um....been watching a lot of UFC, Game of Thrones, and The Walking Dead when it was in season. Those are like my outlets for relaxation when I'm not at the bar trying to hit on these fine fine women. I tell them all I'm married. Still less than angelic, but I have seriously tried hard to ignore or subdue this part of myself for years and have not been successful. I am miserable and unhealthy if I don't tell myself that I'm still in the game. I still suck pretty fucking bad at picking up women, though from another point of view I am worlds more confident than when I was younger. I'm just not always the best personality for picking up, since I'm a passive, introverted guy, and being outgoing and aggressive is more the norm in a bar situation. However, I'm figuring out that if women get to know me a tiny bit, they tend to be attracted, and I also provide a contrast to what they're used to. Like I said, I'm getting way better at it, even though I still suck.
It's so much easier here though. At least here you can work at it, and have small successes while you learn. I think back at home it's incredibly hard for a shy guy not to lose heart completely...but here there are so many hot women that their standards are completely different. Also, having a softer personality is far more accepted for men. And...they love the white guys!! (black guys are finally making a surge as well nowadays tho, esp among those who enjoy recreational sex!) I actually only go to the pick-up type bar once in a while honestly, but it is fun. I went recently which is why it's on my mind.
So anyway, you asked...and got a book. Just trying to honor your request, mistress!
One thing that's weird is I live in the countryside and work in Taipei, driving an hour between, so I feel like it's two different worlds. I love being at home and involved with the Waldorf school (for those not familiar, Waldorf schools are like a whole community thing where you could really devote a lot of time to volunteering and also learning things), not to mention my wife and kids! Then on the other hand I love my job (which is very demanding) and the mad amounts of crazy hot women in the city. It's not a healthy situation. I'm going to be opening my own English school closer to home fairly soon though, and then hopefully I can pass into boring, faithful old age. Not sure about that, but I think it's a possibility. Want to pick up music (got a mandolin and I also made a lyre that my wife plays and I still can't), and live a more wholesome life. I honestly do love being at my kids' school, and being involved with everything there. It makes me feel much more fulfilled and then it's easy to forget about the p&$%y in the city (haha). But then you got those hot Taiwanese Waldorf chicks, and my world goes upside down again!
Life is fucking good though, I truly love it here nowadays, and I'm making pretty good $$.
My wife knows I'm a bad man, but she's sticking with me for now. Like I said, we really need some counseling before we really know what we want to do. She loves me and I love her, but something sort of has to give or change.

Forgot to say this before but I'll say it now......................Welcome back Umber good to hear from you again Chief 8)
-
Lovely to see you, Uis. And you too, Charles! Glad to hear Bun- Err, I mean Evelyn (Just kidding with you ;) ) is doing okay. <3 All the best from me!
-
WOW! The whole crew is getting back into the swing of things.
@Razzly: *lol* My long-time friends all call her Bunny which is cute. Hope lifes been treating you well. You seem relatively happy and all.
@Umber: Having been to it myself I can highly recommend the counseling mate. They can really help you work out what you each want out of your relationship with each other and assist you in working through it. In my case we ended up staying together, in my parent's case they ended up splitting amicably after counseling that brought them to that conclusion. Its not about trying to make or force your relationship to work but really working out if it can.
Obviously, in any relationship there are sacrifices, concessions or compromises that we make for the benefits we get out of the relationship. Without the relationship we loose the concessions we've made but also the benefits. It comes down to those benefits outweighing the concessions. One can also wonder if its possible to get some of the same benefits, or more, and/or less sacrifices in another relationship but while the ability to end a relationship is guaranteed, the ability to find a better one is not.
There are some great books out there that I got which go beyond the usual of simply trying to repair the marriage and help you ask and answer the question "Should I Stay Or Should I Go?" (the actual title of one of the books I bought). The biggest mistake I made was to not act strongly enough, quickly enough. I let things degrade and half expected or hoped that they would just improve on their own. Best thing I ever did was grow a pair and force action and change to take place for the better of both of us.
As you say, you love her and she loves you, it was the same for us, but while the happiness of your partner is important, not to mention your kids depending on how this will affect them, if you're ultimately unhappy in the relationship as it currently stands and works then its not sustainable and as you also say, something must give or change.
Good luck mate and it's good to see you back.
@Brillig: MAAAAAAATE!!!! So are you supporting the winning Origin team? I'm in Queensland but I'm of New South Welshman origin so its all cocky for me!
@LoGos: Probably wouldn't work right now. She hasn't got an association with the word "No" right now and while its obviously not a game to her now, I'm worried it could become one. Its not just that she doesn't smile or laugh when she does it, she doesn't even look at us expectantly like she's waiting for the reaction. I do have a theory. We worked out her favorite foods, so generally we'll give her what appears to be the least favorite and then the next as she eats it all or gets sick of it. I suspect that she may have worked out that an empty plate will bring the next, more desirable, food item and is simply cleaning the plate with the expectation of the next food arriving... Still... She generally eats some of everything and gets through a fair amount considering her size.
P.S. Good to see you again mate. And you too Churba!

@Umber: I went to a steiner (waldorf) school man! :) Best thing that ever happened to me. It's great to hear they've got one over there now. It's a real community over here, and I would have been a different person if I hadn't joined in. I was so shy and unconfident, steiner helped get me out of my shell. I learnt what was important to me in life from school. Now my sister is a steiner teacher, and I think I might be too one day.
@Charles: MAAATE!!! I'm based down south, a real melbournian. I'm an aussie bloke, so by rights you should be able to expect manly sports banter... and I don't know how to say this, but I didn't even know what Origin was. :P AFL is what's big down here, and I know next to nothing about it! :D I love queensland weather though, mind if I move in? :P :P
I wish I'd found flipside 6 years ago, back when this forum was starting up. Good to meet you all.

@Brillig: Didn't you guys just host the State Of Origin for the first time?
ALL: Jamie Robertson, artist of webcomic Clan Of The Cats is making a comeback!
I've been a fan of this comic for years. Janie has fought bouts of blindness over the years to keep going but it's gotten the better of him for the past few years. Never-The-Less he's planning a short story this June 8th to try and come back into the groove. I'd greatly appreciate the effort of anyone here who took the time to hop on over there and cheer this battler on with some encouragement.

@Brillig: Don't worry, a few of those who were here then and some of us who came a bit later when positivity spiralled gloriously out of control are still here, and some of the important positive people who has been rare for a long while are showing up again more frequently. I for one is hoping for a major reignition of the old familiarity, with some old friends and many new!
-
@ Charles:Lost track of Clan of the Cats, (funny since one of my Clan names is Chatton, Touch naught but a glove) lost most of my book marks due to various changes in search pages.
@Emp: just waiting for Leana and Selan to come back.
-
Aye, the incredibly tasty dutch ladies, and for Chag4 to make more regular apperances :)
-
I knew COTC had some rough spots, had no idea it was because the artist was having eyesight problems.
-
Yeah, diabetes caused it for him so he's had ups and downs. Its a real problem since he can't just get prescription glasses to fix it since his sight can vary daily. Depression has got him quite a bit as well from it all.
The girl who inspired the main character for him has been battling cancer for quite sometime, but she's apparently through the worst of it and, while still having more battles to face, is on the road to recovery. He's writing this new story for her.
I do love how Chelsea (main character) isn't some supermodel but a real woman with curves. She faces all sorts of epic level problems and doesn't get through it without the mental scaring. Yet he also makes sure she faces more mundane world issues and pulls it all off quite well with some good humour to boot.
The first page is up so spread the word and welcome him back.

I tried to send a message to Jamie, no idea if it got through or not. But they make adjustable glasses that you can actually adjust as you wear them, no optometrist needed. I sent him what information I had on them. Hopefully that might be something that can help him.
(How can I type "optometrist without a problem, but stumble over almost every four letter word in that paragraph?)

Because you are one of us now! one of us,one of us,one of us,one of us! ;D ;D

Lovely to see you, Uis.
*swoon* haha, VERY nice to be seen.

Thanks so much Charles. This is excellent advice that I really need to take to heart, and let it outweigh my feeling of being too busy to do this. It really is important.
A problem is that we live an hour away from any decent counselor and I'm working my ass off all the time. However, this is really important.
@LoGos: Probably wouldn't work right now. She hasn't got an association with the word "No" right now and while its obviously not a game to her now, I'm worried it could become one.

Our thing, at least with my first kid, was to ignore the behavior. We were so positive and interactive with him though that even ignoring an action was enough to discourage it. I don't recommend that though, he has grown to be quite needy of attention through the years. My next kid is way more well-rounded and easy going, but I couldn't even tell you what we did with him. The second kid is so much different than the first! Good theory though!

Emp, I am curious about all this reference to positivity...when did that happen? And was there rampant negativity before or after? Sorry, just out of the loop and curious!
@Umber: I went to a steiner (waldorf) school man! :) Best thing that ever happened to me. It's great to hear they've got one over there now.

Hey Brillig and welcome welcome!!!!!!!
Good to hear your thoughts about Steiner education!! I'm always glad to hear something positive, since I ALWAYS worry about my kids (even when I know they're fine) and I consequently CONSTANTLY worry that I've made horrible decisions about their education!
Thanks! Seems you're really a solid supporter, and it means the most to hear it from a student!!
There was really an awesome singing group from Australia, The Australian Wayfarers, at our school last week. Very nice experience. They really brought light to our lives.

-
Hey does Pozf still come around here?
-
Well, The forums has always been positive, but I think it's safe to say that the ammount of positivity felt decreased for me as the number of active people I've come to know in the free talk and games sections dropped to one-five a week when there used to be at least half a dozen at any given time.
-
Come to think of it haven't seen Pozf or Nightwraith here for a while ???
-
Yeah, I'm planning to try and make daily visits with a few posts each day to rekindle the activity a bit. I figure that once others start to come back and see decent levels of activity, they'll hang in for more.
@UIS: An hour away can be a bummer for a counselor. I'd really recommend the books if you have to time to read them and work through them yourself. But yes to the idea of not putting it off as well. This is likely something thats been working its way in for a long time and I certainly wished I'd taken action sooner when I finally did and worked out a conclusion. We probably had serious unresolved/uncommunicated issues for about 3 years that I left to stagnate and it was the same for my parents. It can be painful and dramatic to bring the whole thing to a head and lay all the cards on the table but its one of those things like taking of a band-aide. Write it down for yourself, really get down to the core of the things that are bugging and bothering you, book time aside to discuss and then do it. If you can get at least one session with a counselor to start you off, that'd likely be best and then set time aside once or twice a week to privately discuss it between yourselves, review and just keep making progress until you've arrived at a compromise which benefits you both or a conclusion that such a compromise is not reasonably possible.
Good luck mate.
-
<3 !
One, I really miss Pozf.
UIS, visiting Taiwan sounds nice :) I have much more liquidity these days so traveling wouldn't be out of the question but time just isn't something I have... Unless you know more excellent sysadins who want to take on some of my work in Santa Monica. This week I've already done two over night maintenances and I'm about to collapse.
I agree that the US is super backwards with it's views on sexuality compared to the rest of the world. It can be painful, but I'm always happy when I meet open people with healthy views on sex and life. Sexuality is a very natural thing and flirting is fun! (I'm jealous of you, being surrounded by beautiful women!) What I'm trying to say is, I don't think it's healthy to bottle up or try to pretend that your human nature isn't there. Charles, you probably have it right when it comes to seeing a counselor if you can find a good one.
you're all welcome to add my on skype at akashayi at gmail, if we ever get the chance to do a group chat again. Those were fun :D
-
It was sure nice to put a noise to each name ;)

You did those without me!? D:

*groan* same here. No sleep through the night, migrating some systems from our stupid VMWare environment to the XenServer virtualisation... 6:43am here and I'm about to head into work...

I would have thought the US was fairly advanced in it's views on sexuality. Don't get me wrong, there's room for improvement and a number of the asian countries seem to be much more liberal but I always figured the US well above the average of other countries in regards to views on sex and sexuality... I guess what I notice is that the US has a lot of outspoken extremes of opinions and ideas from one end of the spectrum all the way to the other which likely leads to a lot of contention.
Hope to see you all in Skype sometime... but right now I'm going to zombie shuffle to work...

You did those without me!? D:
Yeah afraid so Chag more than one I think it was.

Well if you ever have time I highly recommend it. And do so in July if possible. I will have infinitely more time to show you around, which still isn't as much as I'd like, but way more than usual.
I like how you mentioned "Santa Monica", as though you really are putting out an ad for excellent sysadmins haha!
But anyway yes the women are amazing here. I can try to help you find the places where the girls might like other girls? ;D
Apart from that, hot springs, mountains, cool temples, sick night life...a good vacation all in all!
'night y'all!
(funny how it's just like old days here!!)
-
And I really like the feeling of something like the old days coming back, now with all of us beeing a bit more mature and hopfully a lot crazier? ;D
-
Wait... We're more mature?
-
Crazy and mature? I'm glad I've found a bunch that understand that they go hand in hand! :P
Umber, thanks, and good luck with counceling mate! I've had good success in that regard myself, though unrelated to your situation. :)
In regards to steiner education, I know that it isn't for everyone. Whether it's disagreements with their philosophy or teaching method or what, I've had some friends who it wasn't so great for at times. But like any school, it's got it's stronger and weaker points. And I would say that on the whole, the steiner philosophy adds greatly to any school. Especially the younger years!
Say Charles, who do you figure is more advanced on views of sexuality, Aus or the US? It does seem true that the US has a great variety of beliefs all through. Maybe a comparision is impossible :S
-
Wait... We're more mature?
Allegedly.
-
EDIT: As usual, epic long-winded post. Sorry.
Got so excited about Akasha saying she thought it would be nice to come to Taiwan that I forgot about Charles' post...
Yeah I think a lot of the polarized, outspoken views on both sides of the spectrum comes from the fact that sexuality is so suppressed in general American culture, especially in the part where I come from (Rhode Island), and especially a generation ahead of us. People presumably do it, but certainly never talk about it. Maybe it's just my family. (it's not though) But there's just a whole thing about it being dirty and wrong, that I think even comes through when people are talking about it in a "positive" light, like when you're talking about a hot girl and what you'd like to do to her, for example, that I don't get when I'm talking to people from other cultures, even including Canada, which has to be the closest thing to American culture on the planet.
I also am curious about Australia. What's it like in Australia charles?
But for example, I've never heard anyone except an American say "I'd lick her ass." or something violent or just nasty to mean that a girl is really hot. Also, look at American porn over the last several years. Must we fucking spit in each other's mouths and ravage girls in violent ways to have a good time? And you hear more and more often about people doing shit like that in non-porn life.
On the other hand, English sexuality is another whole can of worms, where I get the impression that there is also a dirty tinge on stuff. Americans came from England though, or at least a lot of our culture does...
I'm rambling, but overall I would say that other cultures are more comfortable with sexuality and also overall a bit less focused on it. As in, it's part of life but that's what it is.
Another caveat: Japanese sexuality is weird to me. Japanese people are just way fucking overworked I think, I dunno.
Also, I'm not including cultures where the sexes are really inequal and women are openly disrespected or worse. I don't even relate to that at all, don't understand it and have no experience of it.
Another sample situation: maybe somebody at a party hooks up with someone else. Americans (again, at least where I'm from) would be talking about it quite a bit, like fascinated with it, but it seems like Canadians or Europeans I know would be way more chill about it. There would be discussion of course, but not as much and people would move on quicker. As a result, Americans often feel a need to hide their relationships, attractions, and hookups to a certain degree.
It's different here in Taiwan, but sexuality is still just way more of an accepted part of life in it's own way. People know who's hot for who, and having sex isn't a victory for one side or the other, it's just something that happens. Just a generalization.
Americans are way more chill out west though in my experience. I'm from Puritan country, and then the south is it's own animal again.
In my family though, sex would seem to be completely nonexistent. It is a completely taboo subject. Even to the extent of relationships though. It is not ok to discuss relationships with the opposite sex in any way. Not healthy for me, who has an analytical mind. I like to have information before I take action!
On a completely unrelated note, I will try to get involved in the Skypey action :)
-
Now that attitude towards sex explains a lot of why "pro-life" vs. 'pro-choise' is such an issue in the US... (I just don't get why some people feel so threatenened by women having a veto on what happens inside their own bodies...)
-
But for example, I've never heard anyone except an American say "I'd lick her ass." or something violent or just nasty to mean that a girl is really hot. Also, look at American porn over the last several years. Must we fucking spit in each other's mouths and ravage girls in violent ways to have a good time? And you hear more and more often about people doing shit like that in non-porn life.
One of my grandfather's and father's saying about when a lass is particularly comely was "I'd let her fart in my soup."

wait mature? is that another word for ripe since my socks are stinking after work ;D And I know for sure I'm the crazy part 8)
-
Mmm... I'm trying to not go on a long spiel here, because, man, I've got to get some sleep at some point tonight.
But general thoughts on above topics. I wouldn't know enough to compare different cultures openess on sexuality. But America as a whole, I wouldn't think of as all that open. There are MANY, DIVERSE, groups in America who are open to all SORTS of stuff. But I don't think of them as the majority yet. Though this opens the door to mainstream status eventually as people become acclimatized.
Japan, as a nation, is just plain WEIRD in many ways. Their porn being just one of them. (Not bashing Japan, Just saying they're weird sometimes man.)
Porn is a somewhat unique media, in that major publishers of it don't always try to reach 'mainstream' audiences. AS an example, say that 90% of the population likes plain straight missionary stuff. Well, they can get that anywhere, and most likely experience it relatively easily in their own relationships.
Now think about the .002% of the population that like lactating octogenarians breast feeding orangutans dressed as bullfighters. It's not exactly something they can find anywhere. But here's the interesting bit. If a porn company makes films of this fetish, all of the people with that fetish will buy that film. There's no competition. And if they keep making whack stuff like that, they have a loyal customer base who can't get their product anywhere else, and no competition. It's actually somewhat more profitable for them to make far out crazy stuff than 'normal' porn. And just the fact that this stuff is out there, gets people used to the idea. It slowly becomes accepted perhaps as something that they're not into, but fine for other people. Then eventually they consider it normal. Then THEY start getting off on it too. It's how society evolves around anything new generally speaking. The same happened with those devil horseless carriages :) This is all based off of conversations with a friend of mine who actually works in the porn industry (Distribution and Promotion, not making them.)
Also, as for attractiveness. About 80% of it is in attitude for me. Age, or body has little to do with it for me. Though obviously, I'm going to try and stick to someone closer to my age, and within a certain range of body types, but really, curvy, small, I love you all. :D

So true, a great attitude can make up for any and all bodily flaws or quirks, while a bad attitude turns even the most beautiful princess into a disgusting pariah.

UIS - Haha it's true, I want more minions so I don't have to work so many hours all the time! Having minions is awesome and we are looking. It's difficult finding good people.

Absolutely.
Intelligence and attitude are a huge part of attraction.
-
Fed up of being a minion, and right now my attitude really sucks big time, just as well I'm off for a bit to recharge.
-
Whacha got planned Awd? And what do you do for a living anyway?
Not that anyone probably cares, but Megadeth is coming to Taiwan, I'm stoked! You have to be happy when you get a band you actually want to see over here.
-
Off back to my roots and watch a two day classic airshow down in Englandshire next week. Going to sniff Aviation Fuel again ooooooohhh AvGas here I come!! ;D Work in a nearby residential home for the disabled,elderly and those with challenging behavior..................so a bit like being a Mod in here ::) *whistle*
-
Man, I need some official minions. Although being the right kind of minion isn't so bad.
-
Mentioned this in the Goodbye thread: had a bar lunch with an old work mate and it was not really a interview but it was a heads up about a post with him that will be advertised very shortly in the local press. But what he will do is put my name forward for the post and if he can act as a character reference if I go for the job. And as for my hair cut if I can will put up photos of it up after my annual trip to Englandshire next weekend.
-
*parties like its 2005* now we just need dragon huik to pop in for some hugs and its good times. ;D
-
Crazy that so many of us picked roughly the same time to pop back in/speak up for the first time!
So what's the job opportunity Awd?
-
It's a one to one care opportunity that's near me. Better pay (I hope) and not as stressful.
-
Not to sound stupid but what's a care opportunity? Also good luck!
-
It means one carer to one person with a disability of some kind i.e one to one.
-
Ahhh like a PCA. What do you do now/have you done in the past?
(Sorry I ask because I work in social work, although it's with people with severe and persistent mental illness) so I tend to be interested in other things related to that field)
-
Been doing this sort of work for the past six years even though I only did it on night shift in a care home to pay my way through college and university. Graduated with a BSc degree in Aircraft Engineering and my back ground is in any type of mechanics. The down turn over here meant a lot of places closed so I had to fall back to the certificate I earned in Social Care.
-
Ahh, yeah I have a BS in international finance and japanese, except I realized at the end of my schooling that I hate business. Found this job by accident and have loved it ever since.
-
It's all right at times but still count myself as a misplaced mechanic. Keep my Mechie skills in tune on my Series Three Land Rover though and any other odd jobs.
-
*parties like its 2005* now we just need dragon huik to pop in for some hugs and its good times. ;D
Don't forget Selan! :( :( :(
-
And Leana :-\
-
Good call! I just hope these people are lurking and we are summoning them forth!
-
I think the two BDL's (Bonnie Dutch Lassies) have gone for good :( Had contact with Selan for awhile but then it stopped.
-
:(
they were pretty Bonnie.
EDIT: New Blood then!!!
completely unrelated: how do you change your local time?
-
Selan was a wonderful BDL, never really got to know leana.
but you never know, I came back after however long, we can always have hope for the BDLs.
-
Well if Razzly and Chag came back I suppose Selan could as well some time.
-
It's true that anything is possible. :)
-
But don't look at me to do it, not really good with people only engines.
-
???
EDIT: Wait no sorry, got it haha!
hmm, maybe just msg them that a bunch of people have come back and leave it at that?
EDIT2: I was reading it "people only engines" and wondering what that was.
-
forgot to put something in to break it up lol
-
a comma?
-
I mentioned that I found a few errors in the company catalog. The XO asked me to write them down for him.
I wrote a seven page paper on the miss use of comma's in the catalog. (Mostly, there were some other things.)
That was several months ago, and I haven't heard anything from him since....
I'm not sure what that means... exactly. Maybe he's just been busy, or maybe... He's afraid I'll go Grammar Nazi again.
-
*parties like its 2005* now we just need dragon huik to pop in for some hugs and its good times. ;D
Don't forget Selan! :( :( :(
Now we just need to magically all be on skype at the same time too >.>

-
what about saturday in three weeks (14/7) at 0600 GMT
that's so far in the future! Hah, that's like a year in internet time. (though that might work.)
In a way, might just be easier to get into habits of dragging people into chats when there are several of us available online. :)
-
what about saturday in three weeks (14/7) at 0600 GMT
Its a date :-*, shall we start a seperate thread with Skype ID's?
though 0600 seems kinda harsh for certain forum members in Britain.
-
it's 0700 for me
-
I'm about an hour behind so that 0600. There is a thread in this section some where for Skype/MSN/Yahoo just need to dredge it from the depths.
-
I'm lost but I'll be there.
Really I think I just need to get in the habbit of making sure skype is open every time I'm on the computer.
-
Yeah I just sorta leave everything on... always, lol.
Also off topic but so happy, my roomie had a job interview today! And it went well ^_^ So I'm pretty hopeful that he'll get it :>
-
That's good to hear Ducky 8)
-
did he get it?
oh and I was looking at some stuff on FB and came across this picture and the first thing that popped into my mind was "How stupid is that?" but then I thought I gotta share this at flipside lolz so here it is:
(http://imx.friendlyquiz.com/dailypic/20120729/39108.jpg)
-
That looks like how they tried to shoot down low-flying aircraft in WWI. Nowdays it could work against unarmoured helicopters, but most western armies use dedicated surface-to-air missiles(man portable or vehicle mounted), AT4's and Heavy machineguns for that job
-
did he get it?
He actually quite randomly decided he hated living with me and moved out and back in with his parents who live 2000 miles away.
-
oh. too bad. his loss i'm sure. *hugs*
well i thought it was strange that they are gonna shoot straight up in the sky... isn't it what goes up must come down?
-
oh. too bad. his loss i'm sure. *hugs*
well i thought it was strange that they are gonna shoot straight up in the sky... isn't it what goes up must come down?
Yes, but not for a while, and not at the same speed. The speed of a falling bullet like that isn't enough to kill anybody. Bruise them, maybe, but not kill.
-
But with the slightest angle, the bullet retains a ballistic trajectory and is still somewhat dangerous when it comes back down.
-
But with the slightest angle, the bullet retains a ballistic trajectory and is still somewhat dangerous when it comes back down.
Not really - The problem is that it tumbles, rather than spins, which messes up the aerodynamic properties of it. It comes down without enough speed to do more than bruise. Firing up at an angle like that, you're unlikely to get a ballistic trajectory - you shouldn't fire guns into the air anyway, just in case, but what they're doing there should be pretty safe. To get a balistic trajectory like that, you have to get enough elevation for it to go high, but not enough that it sheds most of it's kinetic energy just climbing.
-
did he get it?
He actually quite randomly decided he hated living with me and moved out and back in with his parents who live 2000 miles away.
Guess that's a no. Absolutely his loss. Are you going to be looking for a new roommate?
-
Don't advertise in here! Most of the Forum will want to move in lol

Eh, the main reason I wanted a roomie was to save some money, but I found out that I'm taking enough credits in school to put my student loan payments on hold (payments which are currently over 1/3 of my income) so that basically frees up way more money than a roomie would. Without the economic incentive I'm pretty damn happy living alone. The first thing I did when I came home from work after he left was get undressed as I walked through the door and flop into my bed without having to worry about an audience, lol.
-
Undressed as in birthday suit? You know where to post the pics already ;)
-
If I had a rommate I'd have to tell him/her to get used to seeing me in my underwear because I can never stay in my clothes all day.
Usually I only wear panties when it's warm enough. Would be hard to give that up. :/
-
Heh, I'm so spoiled living alone for similar reasons.
Granted, if I ever did shack up with someone, they'd have to be the sort of people I could hangout naked with ;)
-
Yeah... he's a pretty sheltered/conservative guy (military family, home schooled, never lived away from home before), and I'm pretty sure the one time he walked in on me changing he about had a heart attack.
But yeah the "get in the door from work and be stripped by the time I reach the end of the hallway" ritual is pretty much my favorite part of the day.
-
This looks like it could be fun: http://www.zombieevacuation.com/
-
hell yeah!

*stumbles in and collapses*
Damn, it's a busy world out there. And a slow one in here. Last post was in August? I'm in the middle of remembering why once upon a time I worked three jobs. And swore I would never do it again. And trying to figure out a way out of it.
Also, I'm apparently doing one of those zombie run thingies mentioned above in two weeks. Here's hoping that I can still outrun my buddy that I'm going with. He's my zombie bait.
-
just trip up your buddy at the first sign of Zombies ;D
-
sweet zombie Jesus.

just trip up your buddy at the first sign of Zombies ;D
That's the plan >:}

Aahhh. I haven't been to these forums in forever. Things are basically ridiculous at work. My boss got suspended. Our department is being accused of fraud. One of my coworkers gave a client benzotropine instead of benadryl. And one of my coworkers admitted to bringing in HIS DOG'S pills to give to a client b/c he figured they were basically the same as what the client was taking. So everything is a giant clusterfuck right now and I have had like zero free time while all this shit is going down :(
-
It sounds like the only thing missin is media blowing it up to a state-wide public scandal...
-
Just give it time they will.
-
... Ducky wins the worst week at work poll for... well damn, indefinitely. At least until someone has a body part eaten in a gruesome matter while they're still attached to it.
-
I know its late but happy halloween! :-*
-
I know its late but happy halloween! :-*
<3 did you guys do anything fun for halloween?
-
I and Sabina signed a contract for a house where we'll be moving into by first week of february :)
-
I dressed up as Hawkeye Pierce at work (with a hawai shirt,M*A*S*H T-shirt and a pair of my combat trousers)
-
I was going to find a stick in the garden and be a random witch in muggle disguise, but I couldn't be bothered to look for one.
-
I've forgotten how bad my exam stress can be. Got a medicene exam tomorrow at work :(
-
I still function.
-
I live too.
-
functioning and living can be good. ^_^
sis and I went to a halloween party the saturday before and then we dressed up as Zombies on halloween. it was fun ^_^ ;D
congrats emp good luck with the move
-
I'm here, I think, but I could be over there >
-
doing what odd?
-
Doing all sort of Oddness(or is that Oddish) things.
-
Oddish sounds like a pokemon or vegetable... neither palatable
-
So shall we stick with Oddish then?
-
I think im still around here somewhere...
-
Or are we giving Oddness a try for a while?
-
Def in favour of Your Holy Oddness
-
well if you are pwncho its a surprise at every turn.
Odd ness has a nice ring to it
;)
-
Ok so the mob............sorry the forum has spoken.
-
lol
wish i was feeling better at least I felt god enough to ring in the new year with sis and my friends:
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/SmilesI/newyear2012.jpg)
-
Sorry been away for far too long. Just burnt myself out and needed time away but Odd has returned once more. ;D
-
And Emp has quit 40k. Won't sell my models though!
Started with Flames of War instead: Better game system, cheaper models, more suitable scale of battle, historical connection!
-
Have you indeed. Know some who have quit and gone over to Flames of War as well.
-
Aye, so now I'm assembling and painting a soviet urban storm batallion.
-
Been looking at the prices. For the price of a Land Raider I can get a lot of troops. Might consider starting since I'm getting fed up of all the changes GW are making.
-
exactly, and the bases with several models allow me to make my army as a whole lot of micro dioramas
-
And better yet they have proper aircraft, should be able to use my Gorgi metal models lol
-
I live! And now I have Facebook XD
Also, I moved to a house and thrives!
-
Random insert. It's important when painting, to keep your turpentine, and your gin & tonic in cups that look VERY different.
*Pattoiieeee,*

And where did my invite go?

-invite to what? :)
-
the annual spam bot day of total annoyingness and unimaginativeness.
it's in the post.
-
I feel bad guys because I haven't even been lurking, I completely disappeared.
...in fact I just realised I haven't posted for about 3 years apparently, oh goodness. I'm so sorry guys, does anyone remember me? :{
-
if i say no, would you be upset?
-
I Do remember you T :) I've even kept you as an msn contact XD
-
Just checking in with a quick Hi Lo 8) Been kind of busy elsewhere and been getting used to a new note book.
-
Nice! I've been to a game convention with this year's theme beeing steampunk. Also a guy with a totally awsome Space Marine costume showed up, he had 1,5' stilts in his legs and had managed to get the proportions perfect!
Only flaw is that he dressed up as a loyalist...
-
As a Smurf or a Vampire?
And missed you too Emp lol
-
As a bloody vamp... I did put a "Death to the false emperor!" note on his power fist when he wasn't looking though XD
And you've missed Chag put up a new pic of herself in the pic thread, she looks gorgeous :)
-
Yeah saw it been trying to catch up with what's been happening.
-
So....
-
I missed you odd! *glomples*
-
Let's hope Brion gets his computer back soon!
-
Time for serious Odd now (if there is such a thing) Do you lovely lot still want me as a Moderator in here for couple of the sections? due to various things happening I have not been able to keep up with the Comic or the Forum. Let me know what you all think and don't hang back.
-
Well, I don't see any problem with you staying a mod Odd, and I don't Think there has been much modding to do due to a significant drop in forum activity since a year ago.
-
Really need to catch up with you all but just been busy with various things.
-
speaking of being busy... :D

So if the first rule about the secret gallery page is you do not talk about the secret gallery page, is the second rule someone should forward Stargoat the link when they have a few minutes today? 'Cause I kind of think that would be a nice rule to have.
-
it's embedded in a picture
-
Picture? I've been all over this website. I found an Angelfire site with secret audio from when Johnny B was still on the Loop (And the Loop was still worth listening to, though it was better with Danny Bonaduce), about five or six deadzone links (though that may have been the same two a few times), Crest's last name, a comic with a Very naughty plant, the Flipline, and Spoilers for Chapter 38. And then I did it with IE to see if I missed something because of my browser.
Overall, it was a very fun way to waste an hour or so.
-
A picture in the normal gallery, the one with the least clothing and most blushing.
-
Thanks. I ended up googleing the page. Kind of like cheating...
-
so i'd like to announce that I will be in Dublin Ireland next August if anyone wants to meet up with me... ^_^
-
Awsome Smiles!
-
I meant to tell everyone on how I proposed to Smiles a while ago, but my brain farted, and with the stress it's been under, the thought never resurfaced. But now I'm here to correct that.
Now I already had the ring, complete with a custom ceramic ring box with flowers on the top and we were going to be at Duckon together this year (my first year there). But there was a challenge; she was expecting this. So of course I had to achieve complete surprise.
At dinner that night she "casually drops" that proposals happen during Klingon Love Poetry, but I already had plans for that. Sad that I was the only one to recite in Klingon, but that's another story.
We're back in our room in the hotel, and she's unpacking, just bustling around with her bags and the various drawers in the place. The ring was in my laptop bag. With her back turned I manage to get it into my hand, out of the outer cardboard box. Once her back was turned again, I pop the box open, slipped down on one knee and waited for her to notice. I believe the first words out of her mouth were, "Oooh, pretty!" I asked simply; she said yes. And she wasn't expecting it at all. Possibly because she thought I would wait until Klingon Love Poetry, but it worked as I wished.

A friend of mine is making a forum as a school project, and I keep getting "homesick" to the days we used to hang out here every day. I've reread some of the RP's too. Sat reading A Great Treasure Awaits untill half past 4 at night yesterday.
I've got it bad.
-
Aww, I can relate to that feeling chag, I still got this forum on autologin as starting tab XD
-
Erm.......... Hello........... my name is Odd and I think I used to be a member of this forum ;D ;D
-
(Chorus)Hello Odd!
-
Yes I'm back you Heathenist Heritic ;D
-
lol!
-
Well some one has to keep you in line around here! ;)
-
Oh It's far too late for that Odd ;)
-
Any chance I can make up for it? took me aggggggggggggggeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssss last night to try and catch up on the comic and get the feeling I've missed a lot in between.
-
You could join me in World of Tanks some day ;)
-
I could now that I have a decent laptop/note book. Where is every one? :'( :-\
-
I was hungry... I ated them ;)
-
Naughty Dragon you!! :o
-
Omnomnom, at least they was tasty :D
-
And you never shared any of them :(
-
What? I should have just left them to be spoiled or eaten by someone else? :S
-
It just means that the meat has matured and gone tender ;)
-
I don't really expect any of you to remember me but for what it's worth I still check this forum multiple times daily.
-
I do, and you are a late but precious addition to the half-life of this place XD
-
Hmmm another morsel err I member member *whistles*
-
Hi ducky! I remember you!
Just stopped in to post in "Comic Discussion" because I liked the current direction of the comic, and ended up poking around the old haunts. It's cool to see the people that are still here (assuming you are really people), the people who are not still here, and the people that are rarely here...and everybody.
Gonna head over to the psych couch now. I always was too serious and heavy.
-
Yay 1000 posts!
Took me a while to make those last few.
-
Oddball, I figure you're probably going to say "hi", so this is a preemptive strike:
Hi Odd!!! I love you buddy! Nice to see you!!
So cool that you're still here and still modding the old place, keeping everyone in line and laying down the line with howitzers and airstrikes.
-
I like how I totally posted in here then forgot that I posted in here and then was really surprised when I was reading new replies to this thread and saw a post by me.
I'm going to blame vodka.
Anyway, UIS (woo, lazy), read your rant in the sofa thread and am keeping you in my thoughts. I'm... going to go fade back into the background now.
-
Ah see UIS it's my old sniper/stalker skills there, I come back into the Forum and hardly any one sees me...........apart from that dammed heretic heathen Emp! :P
Not done any moding in here for a while now let alone dropping Mod Hammer airstrikes ;D 8)
-
Oh Odd, you flatterer ;) But yes, I do notice things that can be corrupted :P
And ducky, please don't be a stranger :) (I'm not sure but I Think I might even have you added on skype if you use the same avatar as in here)
-

I do! And I have several of you on Skype I just, um, don't really remember who is who :<
Mini-rant time because hey sure why not. So a friend of mine who I definitely have feelings for (even though I shouldn't because he's had a girlfriend for 3 years that he's talked about marrying but ugh they are so not good for each other and we would be such a better couple T_T but I won't even go there)... Anyway so we text... a lot. Like, from the time he wakes up in the morning until the time we fall asleep at night. Well about 3 weeks ago he sends me a message saying he has to stop speaking to me because his girlfriend doesn't like him texting me, but to not worry because she's just being a "crazy bitch" and to "just sit tight" and that he'd be back to talking to me.
Well a week ago he just started talking to me again, expecting nothing to have changed. I explained to him that it really hurt my feelings, made me feel disposable, etc. And for the past... week... he just keeps telling me how sorry he is and how upset he is that things aren't exactly the same as they were before. That he thought we were closer than that and that we were close enough that him being an asshole one time wouldn't be the end of the world. So basically I feel shitty because he was an asshole and then I feel shitty because he's making me feel guilty. So.
grumpgrump
So anyway. I hope the rest of you are doing well.
-
If he thought you were that close he shouldn't have been an arse in the first place... and definitely shouldn't even try guilt-tripping you for beeing upset about it.
I guess a lot of the feelings depends on what type of conversation you were having.
Also, does he know you have feelings for him and what kind of feelings, because if he don't he won't be able to treat your, atm. friendly relationship, in a way that makes sense since he won't have all the facts.
And finally, as soon as a partner tries to limit who you spend time or interact with, It's high time to drop that partner like a hot potato, because to me that means the partner isn't really interested in me as a person but only the way I fulfill her need for someone to parade about as an accessory.
*Glomps and huggles*
(I'm Erik on skype btw.)
-
Skype now that's a thing I have not used in a while.
-
Oh man I'm like always on Skype. I keep it on even on my phone so that I don't die of boredom at work during meetings (apparently once you get promoted above lowest-level-peon the number of meetings you have to sit through just quadruples or something).
-
ducky!!
So here it comes!!!
Sounds like you're both being pussies. If you want him for more than a friend, you should tell him so and then move on if he's not ready for you, because there are so many other men in the world and you deserve to be satisfied as a person and a woman in every way imaginable. Not everyone is in a position or in an emotional state to fulfill all those needs for you, so you (and this means everyone) can't get stuck on one person. It just doesn't make sense, although it is "normal" and dictated by society and popular culture to do so.
On his end, he either was being a dick to you (which actually means he loves you and wants to be with you, so he needs to drop his dead weight and get with you (which you should tell him, btw), and which really means he wasn't being a dick but actually more of a pussy), or he wasn't being a dick because he was being true to his girl, who he loves and wants to be with right now. He's saying that he was a dick but his behavior is still right where it was before, so he's being a pussy.
Probably, you don't think you're good enough for him in some way or another, so you've put yourself in a position of waiting in the wings, which is safe emotionally and doesn't require you to make a real choice. I would offer that you are probably good enough to bring him, or someone else, a LOT of happiness just by focusing on the positive and connecting with the person and most importantly fucking their brains out!!! Anything else is just icing on the cake, but I would recommend against getting hung up on the form of a relationship and focusing as much as you can manage on the present moment, and creating space for the kind of present moments that you would like to have more of. (Eckhart Tolle might help with your ability to live in and enjoy the present moment, look him up on Youtube.)
I don't mean to be accusatory or blaming, just think you might be happier if you took a touch more responsibility for your situation, ie. let the dude know (in whatever way you find appropriate, either by just saying so (it makes it easier for men to understand), or by turning up the flirting a notch or 10) that you're ready for him to step up, and if he doesn't, open up your mental space for someone even better, more attractive, and more suitable for you to come in. Someone will be there for you. All those men out there are just waiting for you to know that you are hot shit.
Does that help at all?
This also might be helpful and fun to watch!

Okay so... the conclusion of all this drama and blah shit.
I finally talked to him again, straight up told him that the reason it was so hurtful was because I had gotten close enough to him for it to be inappropriate considering he has a girlfriend. I flat out asked him if there was anything I needed to know or that he needed to tell me and he said no of course not. Then well... basically he... sorta freaked out on me. Ended up sending me 40+ text messages in one night saying how sorry he was and how he misses me, then called me 6 times between 12:30am and 2:45am (this being after I specifically and clearly asked him to leave me alone).
This is all complicated by the fact that he's active duty military and is getting deployed in a week. Which... he's actually used to guilt trip me, saying how he doesn't want to leave (and even at one point threw in a 'and possibly die') with us not being okay. I told him that him manipulating me wasn't really the way to get me to trust him and for us to be close.
I miss him like whoa but, I honestly think he's been a total asshole over all this and I'm not willing to put myself back in that situation.
So basically I agree with you, UIS. I think.
-
Well, I Think you landed on your feet quite ok there. Clearly that guy has a LOT of maturing to do to be fit for any kind of comitted relationship.
While I don't agree completely with every sentence UIS wrote, the conclusion of his analysis is really sound advice. I myself think there is way too much reliance on suble hints and means of communication with hidden meaning and innuendos. For me, innuendos and hints can be fun for joking, but if something more than friendly banter is desired, clearly formulated unveiled communication is the way to go.
And don't hang up on conventions and social expectations when it comes to relationships. You and whoever you want is the ones that's going to live with eachother, so the only rules you need to stick to are the ones you make for yourselves, it makes things a lot easier than just accepting the 'common' definition. I'm polyamourous myself and only live in a monogamous relationship because neither me nor my partner has found another one to share our life with yet.
Happy hunting when the emotional bruises aren't hurting anymore ;)
-
That kind of behavior is just not ok, as much as it hurts, sounds like you have really come out on the better side Ducky. *clear communicating fist bump* I hope things get better for you soon.
Also, I'm pretty consistently on Skype, since I use it for work. :)
-
By the way, what games do people in here play online?
For me, It's mostly World of Tanks, Civ5, Rome2/Shogun2 TW and Borderlands 2
-
Wow Ducky, it seems you were actually more honest with him and yourself than your first post made it seem. Nicely done!
-
I made a promise to myself about 2 years ago to really work on being honest with people about what I think or feel if they hurt me in some way because I was tired of people being shitty to me and just being like "oh that's okay I totally deserved it I'm sure." I mean I still probably ~think~ that a lot but I have been more up front (in the past year especially) about that sort of thing.
As for games uh, I mostly chill in civ5 or the sims because oh god I love the sims so much more than I should (although raaaaaage at Sims 4 so far).
-
So i"m going to be In Dublin, Ireland this August. anyone wanna meet up?

Nice! I was just in London for work, but I'm back now :(

Make sure to take plenty of pics! My brother's in Jamaica right now, on his honeymoon with his wife (and thus my sister-in-law). I'll travel overseas one of these days.
-
Nice! I was just in London for work, but I'm back now :(
I pretty much only get to travel to Portland and Salem (OR) for work. I'm jealous.

Oh Akashayi you should of came up to see me in Bonnie Scotland ;)
-
Oh Akashayi you should of came up to see me in Bonnie Scotland ;)
That's illegal in at least 4 states.
-
I'm going to regret this for sure but hey, it's 3 am and I can't be blamed for what I do when up this late.
Um... hi. I decided to log in for the first time in two years. I was bored, you see, and it occurred to me that I'd stopped reading Flipside for pretty much no reason (none that I remember anyway). And there was surprisingly little to catch up on, so I did it. And then thought I should say hi, which brings us to now.
I miss anything? xD
-
well, you didn't miss much when it comes to the forums anyway. We are a few who are ghosting this Place and posting now and then but not much more.
-

Aye and for good cause too :P ;)

ARRRRRRRRRRRRGGHH! Run away and run now!!! cuteness overload! :o :o :o :o

Yuck!!

Spit on those kittens!

Aw, don't like kittens UIS ?

Not living ones!!

I like cats but the fur gets stuck in my back teeth.
-
B-But cats are evil...
-
i luv kitties it is so hard for me to stay away from them. :(
anyways now for something completely different: Ireland was fun
-
What was fun about it Smiles? Did you go for an event or gathering?
Woo-hoo, yes! I started BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) class yesterday...major life accomplishment!
(I know starting a class doesn't sound like an accomplishment, but I have waited a long time (I think about 2 years) as the motivation built inside until the point where I felt very enthusiastic and peaceful about going. Also, my schedule has opened up a lot, creating the space to fit this in comfortably. It was a lot of fun and I am very committed...not to any long-term goal, really, but to going every week.)
-
Nice, UIS :) Let us know how it goes
It's been too long since I've been in martial arts and I've been thinking about different things I could take classes in. The guy I work for is a master in ninjutsu (no joke). the few systema classes I've taken were pretty awesome, too.
-
You would look good in camoflage cargo pants and a black tank top (I assume that's the normal systema uniform).
That is absolutely crazy that you work for a ninja master...this could only occur in California I think. Does he teach?
-
What an amazingly beautiful day today is. Spinwheels spinning all over the sky.
Buses, people, cars and scooters. Bird poop in my eye.
Systema uniforms should also have backwards holsters on the belt, so that you can put all the pistols you take away from people in them. Empty knife sheaths would be on straps across the torso. Finally, a hat with another empty pistol holster for convenience when you take a gun from someone while you're sitting down.
-
Then the empty holsters would have to be kind of big to fit any potential gun
-
You guys threw a party and didn't tell me!? :o
-
Oh, sorry, but now that you are here we can throw a bigger one! :)
-
Ok then, I guess it's party time.

I've been listening to Matt Berry's various music compilations lately. It's pretty good stuff. And if you haven't, check out Snuff Box. Funniest thing on TV for the past decade.

Playing Matt Berry right now to check it out.
Just finally watched "The Wolverine" and "X-Men Days of Future Past". They were good, but then I haven't watched a movie in at least months. I do like to keep up with Marvel films though!
"The Wolverine" in particular was very satisfying to me. Asian hotties, lots of really great fight scenes, ninjas, and Hugh Jackman REALLY fills that part well. I wonder what his methods are for getting so ripped and veiny.
I really liked the complicated but fast-moving plot of X-Men too, and great epic Magneto scenes! I think they did a really good job on getting the point across in the dialogue scenes but then quickly moving on to stuff happening. Nice future brutalistic killings of X-Men too! Some great Beast action! Other things!
-

steroids,it's always steroids!
but on a more serious note, I haven't seen days of future past since i boycotted x-men because of deadpool.
also, I fell for Brion's "come vote" ploy to get me back to the forums (as it was obviously aimed at me) :p
-
OMG. The board is awakening! People are talking again! Perhaps the vote was actually a secret plot aimed at rejuvenating the forum? Will it be sucsessful?
-
Not been around much had a computer malfunction. Ended loosing a lot of passwords and all of my bookmarks.
-
Yeah. I've not seen this much life on the boards in a few years. It's been a long time since I was here - so long I don't even remember my old account name. Created a new account just for the voting. Hopefully, this is a sign of good things to come.
-
Checking in, still alive, just lurking.

I typically read through occasionally, but haven't logged in in YEARS!

*keeps lurking*

Sorry Emp if I'm coming out of the shadows I'm dragging you with me!

Yay there are people here!!!
What happened to Deadpool? (forgive my ignorance)
-
Yes the Old Guard is slowly making their return!

ARRGH! BRIGHT LIGHT! BRIGHT LIGHT! *Shields Eyes red from long-time lurking*

*Empties a vat of alcoholic jelly over Odd*
There ya go, take it like the lap-dog you are ;)
-
Wait I LIKE alcoholic jelly though ;D what was that supposed to do you un-dead heathen?
-
Watch the insults there you cabbage-headed shellfish!
-
If your insult-flinging devolves into fighting that can only be solved with sexy, sexy makeouts.... I demand pictures and fully support this.
-
ducky... you don't want to go there, seriously.... XS
-
....yes I do :(
-
Well, I'm afraid there is no solving the issue with Odd as I won't kiss him, not even if he dresses up to look like a woman XD
And that's not really anything personal against him, it's just that I don't kiss men if I can choose not to.
But I'm quite easy when it comes to women, at least if they have a brain to match or overmatch my own and a kind heart :)
-
The only way this can be resolved is by tank warfare and not sexy make outs! I choose the mighty Challenger II!
-
I demand pictures before I make out with ANYBODY!!
(though I would probably transform into a hot, sexy woman and make out with Odd, cuz he's just such a manly man)
So what did you think of "Fury", Odd? (recent movie starring Brad Pitt, I'sa Big Douche, and Shane from The Walking Dead) Question also goes for other fans of weaponry or movies.
I haven't seen American Sniper yet, should I? I heard the plot kind of sucks.
-
I enjoyed Fury immensly from a psychological point of view allthough the realism (lack of) in the drawn out end-fight was more than a little over stretched and a slight dissapointment when the rest of the film was so good in that department, also the final scene gives a very good closing. I Think it should be mandatory in schools as a discussion topic to compare propaganda (Saving private ryan & blackhawk down comes to mind) vs realism.
-
I thought Fury was all right, still have to watch American Sniper, since all of the vehicles used where of the vintage and the PzrKpW MkVI Tiger was a PROPER Tiger from the Tank Museum at Bovington. Some bits where over done but the tank tactics where right for killing of the Tiger even if they where a little slow to deploy and lost the Squadron due to that but that's Hollywood for you.
Please Don't talk about Saving Private Ryan! that was completely FAKE, the real trooper walked off the line himself and it was the Royal Navy who landed the troops at Omaha.
-
As I said, pure pro-american propaganda.
-
Can't say I've watched any of those. But John Wick was pretty fucking great.
-
YES, the ending of Fury did suck, especially compared to the rest of the movie. Did not know Saving Private Ryan was so fake! Although I read some reports of the beach landing and many individual events in that scene were described in the actual action reports.
-
Though I really like the actual final scene of Fury where he's shipped off home in an ambulance with a ten thousand miles stare.
-
You know I don't think I made it that far...yeah the "Rambo" style of the last fight scene really turned me off.
-
We did go to a convention in Dublin while I was in Ireland. :) There was a panel that gave out free cake even. They ran out fast with the 12 different types of home baked cakes they had to give out. :D
Went and got my wedding ring while we were there. Saw people playing as statues. Saw a sidewalk art show. Got to ride a double decker bus for the first time. Noticed that minutes are called noms in Gaelic. Went to a pub called Waterloo. Went to a huge bar called Temple bar. Saw a viking Cathedral. Went on a tour of the Jameson whiskey factory. Saw the first episode of the 12th Doctor Who with a follow up interview with Peter Capaldi, Jenna Coleman, and Steve Moffat on the bigscreen. Tasted real Guinness for the first time... (the stuff they call Guinness here in America is so gross.) Had amazing incredible food. Found out Ireland likes apple pie more than America. Found out Cadbury is from Ireland (gotta go there next time we make it to Ireland). Had lots of whiskey and beer i've never had before. It was a grand fun time. :)
-
Sounds like an amazing trip! Well done!
-
This probably sounds sorta silly, and I know I don't really post here a ton anymore, but just wanted to say that even now years after I started reading this webcomic/forum (heck back when it was the other forum!) or even going back to when I just sort of lurked... that I still check here literally every day and as corny (and hopefully not weird...) as it is, knowing you guys are around even a little bit makes me smile. So happy thoughts to all of you because you all generally make my days brighter.
-
I've got this forum as one of my starting tabs :)
-
Hey, happy thoughts to you too! Now go post naked pictures!!
:-*
There is a vibe about Brion, this comic, and people here that does suit me, and I don't frequent any other chatroom or whatever on the internet...but yeah it's comforting and nice to be here, and it's fine when we go away too. I might could get more specific but that would require effort. :P
-
I have one other forum as a starting tab along with it's IRC channel, It's a Nation States region forum (Taijitu), I played that online game about 7-5years ago but has stayed in the forums because some of the people I got to know there became truly Close friends, a few of which I've met up with IRL and some that I hope to meet up with in the future. The atmosphere of these two forums is similiar in it's friendlyness and acceptance, making me feel at home <3
-
I haven't been in this forum for probably literally years.
Nice to still recognize people's names though.

Funny coincidence, I used to be one of the higher-ups in The South Pacific, head of the Election Council specifically. I still check in there from time to time. One of my good friends was the head of TSP for years, and not so long ago married another one of the TSP government.

Seems about time to post in this thread.
Happy New Year, Merry Christmas...Chinese New Year is on the way, so happy CNY
Love, cookies, and mountain vistas

Damn. We all need to be more sociable. I've been caught up in so much crap I haven't talked to more than maybe 10 people TOTAL in the past.... I dunnoh, 1.5 years or so? (I have a small world.)
-
Hmm, not a lot of chatting going on lately, huh?

yeah it seems everyone has been too busy to look at the forums. even I haven't really been in here for a while. so long I forgot how to post and started editing everything instead of making a fresh post. O.o it was not my intention.I noticed after I'd done it a few times. :/
on a brighter note i'm married now! ^_^
-
Well, congratulations on that!
-
Well, congratulations on that!
Thanks ^_^ been married since July 2015 and loving it ^_^

i don't normally double post but i wanted everyone to know I just had surgery on monday. my appendix was removed with no complications but it was scary and I'm still recovering. this is not an April fools joke. but i was disappointed not to see something funny from brion as he usually does something. i made an extra effort to look just because today is April fools day actually. ;DHope to hear from everyone. i miss you lot. :-* *hugs*
-
Haha a year between and she calls it a double post...Smiles, good luck with your recovery darling!!!
-
Happy mothafuckin Halloween everyone! Probably the only holiday I actually like, including my birthday.
-
"Warning: this topic has not been posted in for at least 120 days.
Unless you're sure you want to reply, please consider starting a new topic."
Hah, what nonsense. That's not how this forum works at all.
-
Been having issues with being unable to login. Finally able to get in again. Lol right Chang? :-*
-
Welcome back! Also: Nice avatar! ;D
-
Yayyy Halloween again!!!
-
I know its been a while, its super nice to hear that you are still around Smiles! :-*
-
I was having login issues too. I thought my password had somehow been changed, and for some reason I wasn't getting the recovery emails, Brion ended up helping me reset it instead.
But if you had login issues too Smiles then maybe I had the same issue.
Do people have discord? Would a discord server be an idea people might be into?
-
I understand the appeal of a Discord server, but I think it's too chaotic to keep up a thread of conversation for days or even weeks. Since everything goes into one channel, any kind of smalltalk quickly makes deeper discussions get swamped away, especially when memes are included. Whenever I open Discord and go into any of the servers I subscribed to I see "100+ new messages", so I just ignore all of them. Discord is nice to have a quick smalltalk, like IRC back in the day.
Having Disqus or something similar below each new page would be a nice compromise between Discord and a forum, because you can always choose to respond to specific comments, so there is some order in there. Also Disqus makes it easier to see which page a comment refers to.
A forum is more suited for comics where each page creates 100s of responses, like OOTS, Erfworld or GrrlPower (though the latter doesn't have one), because in those cases a lot of insightful speculative threads are created in addition to reaction threads as well.
But something like a chat thread could easily be moved into a Discord channel. ;)
-
Honestly I would totally be up for a discord server or just discord in general.
-
A Flipside Discord would be awesome. I would definitely love that
And that problem with everything going into one channel? You can always make multiples. One for specifically memes. Organize it! One for Flipside comic discussion. So on!
-
Here it is, the Flipside discord!
https://discord.gg/TSmUEH
-
Maybe it's time to add the channel to the main page where the links to other social media is. ;)
-
Yeah I probably should do that!
Oh, and here is the correct link: https://discord.gg/DRhrBGb
