[quote name='Homer Simpson']And if that doesn't work, just remember these six words: 'I'm not gay, but I'll try.'[/quote] Any questions?

[QUOTE=AzureWolf][FONT=book antiqua][SIZE=2][COLOR=blue]For me, it's best not to look in the mirror. Gah, there's this ugly person that keeps staring back at me. What a weird, ugly, and creepy guy. [COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/QUOTE] I have the exact opposite problem. *Stares into mirror* Who is that handsome guy? Hello, police? There's a handsome guy in my house! ...Oh, never mind. It's just me. :cool: Anyway, back on topic, I have never once questioned the overall cosmic purpose to my life, simply because I don't care what it is, and I don't think it's worth the effort to try and valadate my existence on a universal scale. I'm just going to march right on ahead with my life, and let other people ask questions about why I'm even alive. Trust me, they do.

I don't have to fake sick, because if I ever said I was sick, my parents would believe me. And probably call and ambulence. See, I never call in sick, ever. Even when I'm sick. I got an award for perfect attendence throughout high school by being a stubborn, miserable, germ-spreading bastard. By the way, the best sickness excuse is, "You don't want to know the details."

Names I've thrown around for bands I'll never be in: Broken Joystick Geek Beat Answer 42 Hobgoblins Lime Green Saliva Self-Titled Album Misplaced Yogurt

I have family I've thought of as pets, if that counts. Alas, I have no pets, because I'm allergic to animal dander. My sisters have a hamster... Even if I had an animal, I'd still see it as an animal.

If an alien came and asked me for a tour of the planet, I'd kill him and sell the autopsy video. Assuming that wouldn't work, I'd take him to the Library of Congress. Therein lies the greatest collection of information in a single place I know of. Since I can't assume that natural wonders would phase a guy who's star-hopped, I figure the best tricks we have to wow him are our mental gymnastics.

We in Floridia still remember the hurricanes quite vividly, and don't really want to hear other people whine about weather. =P

All of these questions are clearly answered in the rule book; it sounds like you have'nt read it. You should, because it clears up a lot of ambiguity. A) First, Relinquished isn't tribute summoned; he's ritual summoned with the card Black Illusion Ritual (or Pact with the Abyss), which is a form of special summon. This is important regarding the gameplay of certain cards. B) Relinquished may immediatly use his ability on any opponent's monster, only one per turn. If he absorbs a face-down monster, his stats are "0/0" C) All monsters may attack immediatly upon being summoned, unless their effect says otherwise, or another card in play (Vengful Bog Spirit, for example.) Therefore, White Dragon Paladin may attack immediatly. D) If a ritual monster is special summoned successfully, and is returned to the deck, you're out of luck, since you must summon them again. You can *never* normal summon a ritual monster.

Who are you, again? =P Anyway, welcome back. I have an incredible amount of respect for anyone who's in the armed forces. Congradulations.

I played violent video games for most of my youth, and I'm not a violent psychopath. These people are just ridiculous; I'd like to saw their limbs off, beat their face in with spiked knuckles, gouge their eyes, and send their bloody torso through a wood-chipper. Then I'd kick their dog.

I'd pay a million dollars to make the Bush haters shut up. ^__^ Yeah, I'm talkin' to you. Quick edit: Said haters wouldn't get the money, of course.

My Valentine's Day was freakin' awesome. I got a card! And from a girl, this time!

Well, uh, I haven't cried, ever. (I mean, you know, really cried. Not, like baby stuff.) Does t hat mean I'm dead inside or some such thing?

Yes, but there's a difference between that and having your entire economy based on it. If all illegal immigrants in the US packed up and went home today, a lot of US companies would be hurt by it for several months, possibly years. If all the illegal immigrants stopped sending money to Mexico, their economy would fall apart. It's a question of severity. Besides, whereas US companies make money, the US government has to spend more money as well. The Mexican government only profits.

I love legal immigration; it's a beautiful thing, and the basic foundation of my country. Yay! Illegal immigration, on the other hand, is a total mess. The Mexican government is publishing literiture instructing its citizens on how to sneek into the US easier. Does this bother anyone else? See, the second greatest source of national income for Mexico is American money sent from folks in the US to their relatives still in Mexico. I don't think I need to point out all the problems in this situation for all parties. By the way, an American caught illegally in Mexico is deported ASAP, without care given to his/her rights. Of course, they shouldn't have any rights, being there illegally. Yet, American institutions are required by judical law to grant citizen's rights to illegal Mexicans. Screwy, no?

I'd chose Solo. See, on a desert island, I'd need someone British to sing "Lovely Bunch of Coconuts" for me while we gather coconuts, and he's the only member I know off the top of my head who's British. There stands me wife, the idol of me life...

Super hero. I mean, come on. I was raised on Ninja Turtles, Power Rangers and Spider-Man. Super heroes are definatly cooler than cowboys or pirates. And, you can be a super hero, but also be a cowboy/pirate. Didn't think of that, did you? Super hero pwns cowboys and pirates.

[QUOTE=Japan_86][COLOR=Navy] When you believe in evolution, you believe that the earth came by a big bang. After so many years things evolve into other things and so on. If you believe in God in a Christian standpoint, you believe that He created all things. Not evolution and a big bang. [/COLOR][/QUOTE] Why can't I believe that God initiated the Big Bang and evolution? =P Anyway, Darwinism and evolutionary theory aren't the same thing. Rather, Darwinism is a component of evolutionary theory, but evolutionary theory isnt' a component of Darwinism. Charles Darwin was a deeply Christian man who would have been horrified to think his work suggested man and ape having a common ancestor. That extrapolation came later. Darwinism was the original proposal of the "Survival of the fittest" philosophy, stating that members of a species with more advantageous genetic traits were most likely to survive and pass those traits on; eventually, these traits would be absorbed by the species. Darwinism is logical, and can be proven. Evolutionary theory, on the other hand, is just that: a theory. If you believe purely in evolution, they you have some problems. Bats, for example. Bats navigate at night using a complicated sensory mechanism known as sonar. I'm sure everyone understands the concept, but in case you don't: basically, bats send off a series of sound waves into the air, and process the waves as they bounce back, rebounded by shapes and objects in the enviornement. Sonar requires the use of about a dozen very specialized organs in the bat's body. If you believe that evolution is the result of random genetic mutations, you have to believe that a single bat ancestor just happened to be bornm with all the sonar organs, because they're useless on their own.

Thanking Heaven for small blessings, most of the industrial areas of the victem countries weren't damaged. The humanitarian cost is overwhelming, but aside from the tourism industry, their economy won't suffer inland. Yeah...that's about the only positive scenario.

I haven't watched the show since the demise of Fox Kids, but I think the beauty of the original series was its simplicity. Rangers try to do something, monster comes to mess it up, they get beaten, learn a leason, then break out the robots and call it a day. Nice. However, because the new series only keep the cast for a season, it's really a crap-shoot as far as quality is concerned. Also, regarding Ninja Storm, even though Iv'e never seen it, I'm kinda' agahst at the concept. Power Rangers with Ninja powers? They *always* had ninja powers!

Actually, Drix has a valid point. The fact is, most recent 'punk' bands are simply following the stereotype of what 'punk' is supposed to be, and that includes Green Day. And most punk fans tend to be elistists who decide that what they like is real punk, and the rest are posers. It's called the Punk Phenomena: when a culture that bucks the mainstream becomes so popular that it's absorbed by the mainstream.

Only one mention? Dear Lord, I'm an outcast geek among a community of outcast geeks. ;_: I'd like to meet: Bandit JoeyKuba: Well, she is my wife, after all. Solo: Solo rocks. ChibiHW: Because she has a baby, and babies are cool. Boba Fett: I'd like to meet the guy who actually agrees with me in most political debates. Xander Harris: He's cool, too. Domon, Siren, Dagger.... Actually, I'm game for meeting just about anyone here. Anyone live near Tampa, Floridia?

Honestly, I don't see what the problem is. Yeah, putting all that effort into school might be unpleasant now, but in the short run, it'll pay off. Yes, I said "Short run"; all the time I spent doing school work got me the grades that payed for a %100 scholarship right out of high school. When things like this start to happen, the effort seems worhthwhile. As long as the students aren't having problems taking on the workload, I don't see any conflict.

I agree with Scrios; (First time I've said that in a while. ;P) we need more villians, and big league ones as well. Also, for the sake of continunity, I'm assuming this takes place prior to Pulse: Thin Air and New Avengers. Potential villains: Dr. Octopus Ra's Al Ghoul Abomination Metallo Juggernaut Deadshot Red Skull Darkseid Apocalypse Parasite Mehpisto Doomsday (Sure, why not?) Heh...I tried to be balanced, despite my heavily pro-Marvel bias. ^^;

When an experiment went awry, the inner demons he'd been hiding all of his life came to the surface in the form of the Green Goblin, a dark and malicious personality. After Spider-Man interferred in his various plans to increase his power-base in the underworld, the Goblin made it his business to find the masked hero's secret identity, and he was shocked to learn it was a classmate and friend of his own son's. Spider-Man managed to subdue the Goblin's madness several times, but eventually Norman's entire psyche broke down when, at the same time, his company sank into debt and his son sucumbed to a drug addiction. Attempting to kill Peter Parker once and for all, the Goblin raced to his apartment, only to find Parker's girlfriend, Gwen Stacy. Taking her as a hostage, the Goblin baited a trap for Spider-Man; when the hero arrived, Norman threw Stacy off the Brooklyn Bridge, killing her. The Goblin was caught off guard by Spider-Man's enraged assault, and was believed impaled in the battle. However, the Goblin survived, and went abroad to lick his wounds, content that his son would finally become a worthy heir by taking the reins of the goblin identity. After Harry Osborn died, Norman returned to New York and revealed himself to his foe, and has since engaged in numerous campaigns to destroy Spider-Man in every way.
