[color=crimson] The last movie I watched was The Princess Bride. I will say that it is by far, one of the wittiest, funniest movies I have ever seen. The action, quick witty dialogue.... The total satirising of those "gotta rescue the princess" movies, the whole shebang was a complete riot. I can't beleive it's taken me so long to see this movie. [quote] Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father, prepare to die.[/quote]A classic through and through. [/color]

[QUOTE=ChibiHorsewoman][color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]A sense of humor is the only thing that keeps an otherwise sane man from hanging himself- Voltaire That said I think relgion is probably one of the most hilarious things to ever be discusssed. Especially when you're dealing with the religion I was raised in. I mean the Catholic church banned using forks in the middle ages. I think it was the three pronged ones because they represented that lovely pitchfork that Satan always carried around.[/font][/color][/QUOTE][color=crimson]This is, after all,[i] their [/i]depiction of him. [i]They[/i] put the fork in his hand, [i]they[/i] gave him horns... Middle ages.....lmao.[/color] :p

[color=crimson] if you take the political threads out of the Lounge, you take away one of the reasons for the lounge existing. And yeah, there isn't enough political threads to warrant a forum anyway. Look at the US midterm elections, and the big result for the Democrats... Not a thread about it.[/color]

[QUOTE=James][font=arial] In the future we will have a way to prevent this problem through software, but at the moment I don't think we can do anything on a technical level (other than give members the ability to edit threads, which I am not prepared to do). [/font][/QUOTE][color=crimson] Didn't OB remove this feature because people who were getting pwned in their debates were deleting their threads? In that case, is there an option the Admins can select that would allow members to edit thread titles, but not delete the thread? I know members can still edit their post, so would it be a big leap to allow them to edit the title too? That would come in handy for any spelling mistake on behalf of the OP. Instead of leaving it up to a mod, the OP can correct his/her mistakes.[/color]

[size=1][QUOTE=only1specialed][/size][size=1][color=DarkRed][font=Georgia] [b]1. What religion are you CURRENTLY following? If you don't have one, then why?[/b] Im Agnostic. Born and raised Catholic. Once in school though when they started talking about evolution and all that stuff and dinosaurs. I was like "wait a minute. that dont make sense with what the bible says." Since then i stop going to church but i still feel like there might be an all mighty being up there. [/font][/color][/size][size=1][/QUOTE][size=2][color=crimson] Don't count the bible out just yet. Check out some of this stuff and see what you think first....[[url="http://www.carm.org/evolution.htm"]here[/url]] On a related note, the Big Bang theory, isn't the Big Bang kind of how the Bible says things came into being? God spoke and then BANG, it happened. "Let theire be light", BANG!, it's there...[/color] [/size][/size]

[font=Verdana][size=1][b]1. What religion are you CURRENTLY following? If you don't have one, then why? [/b][color=crimson] I'm a Christian. I currently identify with a local Baptist Church but I can feel comfortable in any denmination's service. Exception being Westboro and other haters.[/color] [b]2. Why do you follow that religion? Parents, personal reasons, etc? [/b][color=crimson] Personal, I was brought up Catholic by my parents, but formed my own opinions and beleifs and ended up identifying more with the protestant-leaning churches, where I am tody.[/color] [b]3. Do you ever feel that people often critisize you because of these beliefs? [/b][color=crimson] Sometimes, I try and counter-act that criticism though, because alot of it is hearsay and unfounded. I like to get people into the Jesus I know.[/color] [b]4. This one may spark a little bit of arguing: Do you believe that your religion is the [i]one true religion?[/i] If so provide evidence. [/b][color=crimson] Yes I do. But like Alan above, I don't have any proof to supplement that beleif. Though I find strength in my faith by looking at the awesomenss of nature and pondering how anything so magnificent could be accidental.[/color] [/size][/font]

[color=crimson] That does sound like one amazing concert, Clurr. The most amazing concert I have been to would be Eastercamp 2002, which is a relatively small, local Easter-message-related Christian rock concert held over the Easter weekend. I say 2002, because for me that was the one time I attended that it was really powerful and moving, the rest since have felt rather commercial, pretty much forgettable. But 2002, that rocked! Now, concerts I wish I could go to are another story too, and I would probably pick Pink Floyd's P*U*L*S*E tour. I have seen snippets of the DVD and it is amazing, the lighting, pyrotechnics, everything. A visual representation of the Dark Side of the Moon? I so wanna be there![/color]

[QUOTE=Waterbender] Well here's something for you...a lot of worlds are controlled by evil. It would be intresting if the rebillion was the enemy but....[/QUOTE][color=crimson] If it is as inspired by Star Wars as it seems to be, then the rebellion might very well be the enemy. I mean, if the world is controlled by evil, and that evil is the rule of thumb, doesn't that make this certain evil 'good'? It's all about perspectives. An 'evil-controlled' world may shun what is deemed to be 'good'. 'good', in this sense, becomes 'bad'. In any case, the premise for this show sounds too damn corny. I won't be wasting my time.[/color]

[QUOTE=ChibiHorsewoman][color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]You're telliong me. One of the local supermarkets *cough* Tops *cough* up here in New York (Which is actually a rather liberal state) has their condoms locked up next to the pharmacy counter so some one has to know your personal life when you're getting protection. [/font][/color][/QUOTE][color=crimson] Oh, come now. They're going to know you're buying condoms when you check out with them anyway. ;) I don't see a problem with this abstinence program. Think aside the Christian element if it makes you a little uncomfortable and look at the practicality.... A Committed, nuclear family will always be an ideal environment in which to bring kids into the world. If it's ideal, why not promote it? Sure, safe sex and proper condom use should be promoted because not everyone is going to agree to the idea of holding off sex until marriage, but that does not make abstenince programs the devil in a prada shirt. After all, there is still a choice to praticipate in them, or not, isn't there?[/color]

[color=crimson] I'll go with "Little Lies" by Fleetwood Mac. What can I say about Little Lies? It is one fo the most awesome songs to come out of the 80's. It has everything I like in a song. Catchy vocals, a funky tune. It is quite possibly a perfect song. :D Runners Up (but possibly winners for next week or whenever) Flock of Seagulls - I Ran, Murray Head - One Night in Bangkok, Genesis - Land of Confusion.[/color]

[color=crimson] I'm not sure what it is like in the states, but over here, obesity action groups are taking the fast food outlets to task for being purveyors of, well, fast food. These groups spend their time lobbying for government regulation on the way fast food outlets operate. It's simply ludicrous. It is the customers themselves whp responsible for their dietary habits, and the outlets are not. Targeting the fast food outlets and forcing them to change their menu, however small that change may be. Is a pointless, ambulance-at-the-bottom-of-the-cliff solution. It's as bad as those people who grow morbidly obese because they live on McDonald's, and them sue McDonald's because they get fat. If it's your decision to go eat there all the time, then suffer the consequences. Same goes for soemthing like smoking. If I chose to smoke, for whatever reason. I wouldn't be suing Phillip Morris because they gave me lung cancer. That's why Super Size Me didn't phase me one bit. If you're stupid enough to eat nothing but McDonald's for 30 days, what do you expect will happen? :rolleyes:[/color]

[quote name='DeadSeraphim][size=1][color=indigo][font=arial]Like Russel Crowe, Phar Lap was an Australian icon that came from New Zealand. :)[/font][/color'][/size][/quote][color=crimson]We'll keep Phar Lap. But seriously, you Aussies can take Russel Crowe if you want. :D It wasn't the American mafia that killed Phar Lap, it was the strapper, I tell you, the strapper! What is a strapper? I don't know, but whatever the strapper is, he/she/it was giving Phar Lap a good dose of arsenic to help keep his shiny coat. This must have been before they knew arsenic was, like, deadly and stuff. Who cares about some long-dead horse? How about those long-dead suspects who can now be exonerated! I doubt the Strapper will be cracking out the harp though.[/color]

[quote name='Shinmaru] Basically. If you actually, you know, [i]watch the clip[/i'] (it's on YouTube), then you'll see that the joke is more a jab at the idea that there is an 'appropriate' and 'inappropriate' time to make fun of someone's death rather than a joke that out and out mocks Steve Irwin's death. Personally, I agree with the show: The idea of 'too soon' is ludicrous. Either you think that the joke is funny or you don't. Time probably isn't going to do too much to change that. JFK humor didn't suddenly become funny twenty-five years after the guy died or whatever.[/quote][color=crimson]Exactly, and it does so rather tastefully, by South Park standards. My only nitpick about the skit was the fact they didn't do his personality right. Instead of the hyper-active and "Crikey!" Steve Irwin everybody remembers, they portray him as a reserved,quiet sort of individual. I do not remember Steve at all in that way. :p In any case, I'd rank the virgin Mary menstruating on priests as this shows most tasteless moment. It wasn't funny at all. Who wants to see a statue pissing blood over the Pope? Sick. I watched that ep with a high expectation that the RCC would get a decent dose of satirical humor sent their way, and I got that. I want my half hour back.[/color]

It's too big for a sig. It has to be 500x100 pixels or smaller to be included in your sig. Works fine in a regular post: [img]http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b27/MoosetheFlyingMoose/Anime/evil.jpg[/img]

[color=crimson]I think of the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings, wise-cracking taxi drivers, and the lights and overall spectacle of Time Square. I also think of Ground Zero, and how much I wanted to stand amidst those towers when they were standing. New York is a very impressive place, and I do hope to visit it sometime.[/color]

[QUOTE=DeadSeraphim][color=Indigo][size=1][font=Arial] Not unless we're being ironic.[/font][/size][/color][/QUOTE][color=crimson] Any other time, it's "G'day mate, put another shrimp on the barbie, where the bloody hell are ya?" ;) I enjoyed our trip to Australia a few years back, and that's how I think of Australia when I do think about it. Friendly people, awesome theme parks, feeding kangaroos and holding the koalas. Burger King being called Hungry Jacks. This nice restaurant chain called Sizzler. Awesome stuff. I'd go back there in a flash if my finances allowed for it. [/color]

[color=crimson] I prefer drinking bourbon and cola. It is an awesome concoction. I have never tried straight burbon before, so I can't say if I like it straight or not. I've never been drunk, despite tasting my first beer around the age of 8. I think I've built up a natural resistance to it's effectivness, because I can drink quite a bit yet feel nothing. That's mixing my poisons, too. I only drink occasionally when I can afford to buy some out of my meager wages, when I do, I usually make it a B&C.[/color]

[color=crimson] Oh, come now. Fred Phelps isn't evil, he's a misguided old fool. [font=Verdana][size=2]You know why he'll picket the Amish funerals? Because the only bad publicity is no publicity.

[QUOTE=Papa Smurf] Only the good die young, which doesn't say much for either the old woman or the baby. Either way, the baby sucks because it failed my thirst for death. I wanted to see a baby+boa constrictor a la [spoiler]what happened to Mary Kate or the British prick[/spoiler].[/QUOTE] [color=seagreen] If they had the boa swallow the baby? That would have been awesome alright. It sucks that in SoaP and other flicks of it's genre, they seem to be scared of having the babies and children get eaten. Even one of those tykes meeting a slithery end would have made me jump right out of my seat. Never would have seen it coming. Never. My favourite death in this movie is a toss-up between [spoiler]Mary Kate or the British prick.[/spoiler] I had to have a good chuckle at both. [spoiler] Mary Kate was exceptionally hillarious, because I seemed to be the only one enjoying it. Everyone else in the cinema was wincing and turning their heads, they missed some good CGI! The dog just pissed me off anyway. All it's barking was driving me batty. The final yelp was rather satiusfying.[/spoiler] But the [spoiler] British dude easily rivals Mary Kate in awesomeness. Because I deal with pricks like that all the time in my line of work. Those grumpy types who will get in a bunch because you can't deliver the world on a silver platter. Arrogant, prickish types make for some awesome snake fodder. :smirk:[/spoiler] I totally enjoyed that flick, and I must see it again when the DVD comes out. I'm too much of a pauper to go see it twice at a cinema. :p[/color]

[color=gainsboro][color=#e0e0e0][color=chocolate]Here I was thinking that it was your banner that somebody bitched about. After all, it's a rather...novel use for a Wii remote. :p Wow, that first banner is a trip down memory lane. I believe it's the first humorous banner that I saw you post here. The new court one is also rather witty. I do like it how you portrayed yourself as the shifty character. and the bling suts you. ^_~ Good on you Charles. May your unique humour never fade from us.[/color][/color][/color]

[color=seagreen] My latest banner is a rather old one I think I briefly used last year. It's a screen from Kubrick's 2001, with the monolith replaced with a PS2, since both objects bear an uncanny resemblance when stood on end. I wonder if that was intentional on the part of Sony...[/color][color=seagreen] My avatar? I'm right wing, so yeah. Love it.[/color]

[color=seagreen] It's been a while since we had the "what does your sig/avatar say about you?" thread. I figured since the lfie expectancy of sigs is short, I could start up a new one and get a, well, different result. :p My avatar is from Red Dwarf and is of the character Holly from the first two seasons. Holly is a great character, bit like me really, I.Q of 6000 and whatnot.... My signature is "1984" which is the year of my birth. Which, coincidentally is also the name of a very popular novel by George Orwell about future society, though police and all that "Big Brother" jazz. My custom title "Robot Lord of Mt. Raskill" is a parody of Deathknight's "Robot Lord of [japanese city]" So, what does your sig/avatar images and/or text mean? What's their significance?[/color] [quote name='DeadSeraphim][size=1][color=Indigo]Discuss.[/color'][/size][/quote]

[color=crimson] About 3 years ago, A filling in my back tooh fell out. Not wanting to go see the dentist. I decided to try and subsitute the filling with a little bit of tin foil. Little did I know that a fragment of the mercury-based filling was left in my tooh. Add to that the fact that the foil was well and truly stuck in there. Yeowch.[/color]

[color=crimson] Is this what you're after? I did one avatar in the green text you wanted, but also did one in white, which I think looks crisper.
