well, if you have my luck, bud, the best bet is to run like the devil's after you. I've had SUCH bad experiences hooking people up that the sheer mention of it from my girlfriend is enough to ruin my mood. And fabreze smells better than badly-maintained bachelor pad anyday! EDIT: Better idea.. just get out of town altogether. pack it all up. start over. :toothy:

I knew that spring was upon us when I started working 50 hours a week again *grr* -- and I had the birds chirping, too. That, and now I can stay up until sunrise without being too tired to not be late for work. And yeah, the bugs. I hate those. Where I work it's always 40 degrees, so the colder weather doesn't bother me. I'd rather wear it in instead of carrying it.

I think I've created a monster. That's it. I'm turning down from clever to slightly off beat mode. That'll make this a lot smoother.

is not being killed by a car wreck luck? I know if I had my daytona with me instead of my grand marquis one day last year I would be dead right now. but that's because I had gas in that car. that's not luck. Luck is when something really, really spectacular happens. Like more than a conincidence and less than a miracle. If I was to say anything about that incident, I'd say that I just wasn't meant to die quite yet. The big man upstairs has some other sort of plan for me, i guess.

the ultimate deck would belong to me. I have a white/red/green that owns because it's a bunch of weenies, and then I break out the angelic transformations, and use radient's judgement to smack all those big hunks out, add a little rancors and lightning bolts, you know, just in case. Biggest creature I use is a 5/4 thran war machine.

hehe, well, I'm not going to get into that. you should go ask your big brother. just don't look in dad's shoebox under his bed. whatever you do.

Sometimes you can get tennis elbow if you're not careful. Remember kids, safety first.

it's a humongous 10 novel long sci-fi series. it was written by L.Ron Hubbard, of battlefield earth fame. it's a lot better than BE, but due to the lengh of the series, some parts do kinda feel like filler. There's many adult subjects, such as the main character gettting an "enhancement" from a crazy genetic doctor. Definately worth a look-see if you read like crazy. it's on amazon.

*DROOLS* Oh, sweet Faye. How can anybody else say that my goddess is not the hottest? *DROOL--- WIPE* Anyways, she has HOT PANTS. HOT PANTS. I win.

i think that I'll try to make the next one around philly. just because I'd love to run into a couple of the oB ppl... I'd have to get my avatar on a tshirt :P

I'm not even in college. I'm a total blue collar schmoe. I have a hard hat and a time card to prove it. I also make thirty grand a year, which is more than all of the college grads make when they come to work in my department, because motivation and creativity mean a lot more than suffering through college and thinking you can make the big bucks. And I could get "it" a lot, if I wanted to. It's just that I have a headache.... ...it's called women.

oh, such a forum exists? Whoops. Anyways, I thought my, in retrospect, aimless, post would spark this great debate of the greatness (or lack thereof) of the series. I thought it would also give me a chance to whip out some of my knowledge about the series and get some more. I guess the only thing that came close to an actual statement in my last post was that the main character, Gris, was the man. I thought he was the greatest anti-hero ever. Better?

The Earth, itself isn't one thing. It's all kinds of seperate systems. The Earth will survive almost everything.. meator (or a meatier meator), another Dana Carvey movie, ozone, etc. It's just a matter of how long you can hold your breath outside and apply 30 layers of sunscreen to get the mail. I'm not scared. Bring it on. Some kind of cool post-apocolapse environment. Party in my ruined abandoned office building! I'll be Tupac in the california love video, rapping until the world finishes falling apart. Has anyone ever read "Alas Babalyon"?? Fans can PM me. That's what I think about when i think about the world ending. Definately suggested reading.

When I was about 10, the little 5 and 10 around the corner was going out of business. The whole place was, at it's peak, 90% off. So I went around with ten bucks and picked up all kinda of books, breath spray, candy bars, cheap card protectors, and what have you. Anyways, one of those books was Mission Earth volume 2 and another was #3. I flipped through them and was totally amused (as well as confused) at the main character, Gris. This series was really great for me, because I consume books like a plague of locusts in a corn field. Anways, I didn't know if anybody else got to reading the Elron stuff. I think this series would be a great anime or manga. Anybody else? And yes, I know all about sociology and what have you. Don't even bother.

Boy it must be nice to not know what Roxy is. Man, there was like sixteen girls in my school who'd have to call each other in the morning to not match. They all went to the mall together, and because there's not an abercrombie within 100 miles of where I live (a very comforting thought, too), they all kinda settled for overpriced PacSun stuff instead. I drove me nuts at the time, but I kinda miss watching nubile preppy chicks. Not too many where I work, and it's pretty hard to check out a chick wearing a hard hat and a meat coat. Back on topic: I've been collecting books about sociology, history, law, marketing, spy fic, and whatever the thrift store can sell me for a quarter per foot tall stack. I also collect mp3s, anime (dl'd-burnt), westwood and blizzard games, ex-girlfriends (until 2000), postcards (that I frame and display around the house), and I just started buying a manga every now and again. I don't really want to list all of what I have of everything... My favorite? Geez, I did like a few of those girls, but my top three would have to be the mission earth series, Tiberian Sun, and my Orbital Mp3s. It's probablly the Sega Master System, Genesis's prodesssor, Circéus.

I'm flattered, Lady Macaiodh. On the subject of sexual frustration, since my sweetheart is going to college, some four hours away, I tend to get awfully energetic at work... it's tough to burn off all those calories, without my favorite workout. It's not exactly the same kind of frustration one would have when not getting what you want in other fields, because unless you're an uber-pimp :toothy:, sex doesn't come too often, anyways, even when you're getting it. it's definately more of a "i miss this" than "I must go get this, and perhaps molest someone"

It must be nice to have an alter ego. I don't even have another eggo. And that barely sounds like alter ego. Seriously, though, I think I'm kinda like Hideki, Abe (Clone High) meets Jay (from Silent Bob fame), the main character from Boiler Room, and Kenshin, all put together in a blender, liquidized, and then re-consitiuted in a solid mass. And yes, as a newbie, I am aware of the consequences of not replying to a multi-part question threat in the correct format. Many apologies.

Gee, folks. I know in my state the "legal age of concent" is 16. that means there's no reason to, say, have a baby at 15, unless another youngster steps up and owns up to it. I think the law regards it this way, sexual acts by youngsters are almost impossible to catch. Think about that for a second.... Anyways, I can add a personal note. my girlfriend is 2222 years/months/weeks/days younger than me. She also got accepted in college at 16, moved out, and is less irresponsible than I am across every catagory (except dishes *GRR*) But yet, for doing those two months, weeks, and days, I was breaking the law.. a lot.. But was our relationship WRONG? no, just doing sexual acts were prohibited... It's not to uncommon, at least in my class of 02, to find one of my classmates doing a day job, and dating a girl in high school. Think about it, a 18, 19, year old guy who just barely affords his apartment is infinitely more desirable than some guy who has spare cash, but absolutely no time to be with a girl due to his after school job. I have to agree with an earlier reply saying that "maturity gaps" are much more disconcerning. And by that measure, I'm lucky she hasn't read this thread and dumped me.

believe it or not, when I was a young pup (14-16) all my friends became major potheads... and acid "freaks" (is this the correct term?) and guess what? Never touched the stuff. Crap, I never got drunk before. Now I'm 19, and go around this magical world called the www telling kids just like what's his face, and etc... about how I managed to get through all of that just by having a negative body image and low self... wait a second. I have no idea how I did... true story, tho folks.

I personally feel very fortunate that I have a job to provide for myself, I love my independance, love my shelby daytona, love my sweetheart, love my laptop (even though I wouldn't recommend a low-end dell laptop to anyone) I love my huge kikwear pants and my phillies hat. I love my recycled bucket seat recliners in my living room... I love Reel Big Fish... I love having this much free time. I should pull all-nighters more often. I love being taller than you (6'2") I love the thrift store, cheap picture frames, and my cell phone Finally, I love my website, which is my preferred method of non-personal expression: [url]http://free.hostdepartment.com/s/sparky73[/url]

the north africa move was supposedly for airbases, petrol, to neutralize Rommel, and to have at it with Italy. From what I remember, the feeling was that the Italians would cave in a lot quicker than they did, and that Germans wouldn't bother defending the whole stinkin book (which they did) My grandad was a machine gunner in the infantry then, and he still doesn't like spaghetti :)

Are you male or female? I'm a real boy! How long has your longest relationship lasted? 2 yrs 7 months 22 days and counting What was the worst ending to a relationship you have been in? hmm, i think she start "doing" my buddy... and didn't bother breaking up with me, or even telling me... yeah, that was no fun What is the one thing you hope to find in your perfect mate? I hope my girlfriend will allow me to leave the house soon.... what is your pet peve about the people you date? They're always broke. Darned college girls. Have you ever used a pick up line? I think I gave the mirror in the pocket one once -if so, did it work? well, like 3 months later it did Have you ever had a pick up line used on you? yeah, but I pay $4 a min for that stuff -if so, did it work? it better for that much! Guys only What do you think women want? Everything In your opinion, what is the general behavior of women? Womanly. Totally unfathomable. Girls only What do men want? here's a secret for you ladies: we want to sleep, play video games, play some basketball, drive too fast, and smoke a pack a day.

Gee, i'd do all kinds of evil-kenivl stuff like run over 1000 $2K notebooks with my monster truck while the strippers were off synchronized swimming in the pool. I'd pay a million bucks to whoever can finally draw the magna I've been writing. I'd buy an entire block, blow it up, and put a huge bronze statue of whoever I happened to be talking to when I got the money.... I'd have to hire people and pay them insane amounts of money to operate my kazaa (no point of buying it on dvd when it's still free on KMD) -- I'd put a drag strip right in front of my house, and at least 20 diffrent cars I've been wanting... and whenever I'm tired of them, I'd sell them to 16 year old kids for whatever their puny paycheck is.... Gee, I'd have to pay a lot of taxes, too... I'd have a plasma Tv in my shower. My $1000 daytona would be one of the fastest street-legal cars in the world. I'd go to art school, high school, racing school, rally school, computer school, preschool, and have such a humongeous library of comic books, little kids would line up for tours every day (have to keep all those half-and-whole nekked maids out of that wing..) I'd buy my brother a mcdonald's... I'd order 300 pizzas and yell if they're late... i'd have to have kurt cobain cloned... i'd also make the swordfish sequal, and get to watch the new matrix before all of you hahahaha!

Gee, I never thought being catholic was that bad until i starting getting into the net. and now it's nothing but pedophilia, money, pedophilia, fake, money.... When somebody talks about church, they generally talk about having to get dressed up on thier day off, find some money on a sunday morning (our heavenly father hates cheapskates) - and getting up early. That's what generally comes to mind. And those, actually are my three reasons not to go. I'm sure somebody is going to say "well, don't you want to go worship god?" Well, myself, the answer to my question is that we all can worship god whenever we'd like. What I can't understand is why we can say god is totally error-proof, never wrong, etc, but we cannot say why god wouldn't understand why I wanted to sleep in. God, in all his infinite wisdom, just cannot fathom why a nineteen year old guy wouldn't want to get out of bed. There's something fundamentally wrong with that. That, and I think the whole "test of faith" thing isn't too solid of an argument. All I have to do is show up, and I'm counted among the faithful? Well, what if the Lutherans are right? And I'm at saint paul's instead? I'm in the wrong place! I'd never get counted! A good church, in my opinion, is one that's always open, and isn't a place to organize anything. It's a place I'd go to at 3 AM or 5PM or whenever, to get away from the "real world" and talk to the big guy. but that's just me.

How can anybody with even a small amount of faith feel threatened by a GAME? Sure, D&D is one of those lifestyle/expressionist games, but nonetheless, it's still just an amusement. It's not a product of satan, inc. I've read entirely too many D&D books in my day, and have yet stopped and thought "gee, maybe this god thing isn't cool" -- I think instead it's those ultra-conservitive moms and dads being afraid when junior doesn't wanna play outside. I was really bookish as a kid and I'm making a lot more money reading and using my imagination than I am playing a sport.
