[COLOR=Navy][B]Fist of The North Star[/B] played a lot over here on the action channel. How about listing anime that [I]shouldn't[/I] be put on tv again. [B]Gundam Wing [/B] for one. It's a nice series and all, but Cartoon Network ran that show dry. They played the whole series through four times during the evenings, and I bet twice more during the midnight run block of tv they used to show at midnight. Another show that I think should not go on is Reign. It's not very good, and there are far better anime to watch than that. Plus it is short. There are also the famous series, [B]Dragonball[/B], [B]Dragonball Z[/B], and [B]Dragonball GT[/B]. Sure they are all excellent series, but when they show the same reruns four times in a row, it gets annoying. I like all three. I'm just sick of reruns. As for anime that I believe ought to be put on the air or should be shown again: [B]Outlaw Star[/B]: This anime is a classic. All the episodes are funny, hilarious, and the plot is awesome. It doesn't drag on forever like DBZ. [B]Naruto[/B] would be another awesome anime to see on tv. Reason being that it is an awesome series. Though, my friend's fan dub of the show will have to stop. [B]Last Exile[/B] is an excellent series. It's pretty different in concept than other anime. The whole anime is one of a kind. The music is also a great attribute to the anime as well. [B]Fushigi Yuugi[/B] is also another series that I wouldn't mind seeing on the tv again. I've seen all of it once, and I wouldn't mind seeing it again. I'd also like to see [B]Serial Experiments Lain[/B]. Just like [B]Last Exile[/B], this anime is a one of a kind. It may be confusing, but it is very well done, with great music, and it makes you think.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy]I already knew that Dagger and Chabi were gals. I find this idea worthless. Who cares if people know your gender or not. I get my gender, and even my nationality mistaken for something their not all the time. I purposely write this way most of the time to see if I could possibly stump a few people. I get bored a lot here and it's somewhat entertaining when people assume things about you that are not true. Why ruin my fun with that idea? Yeah, yeah...option, I know.... But if other people state whether they are male or female, then that'd ruin the mystery of the internet and message board....in a sense. I love guessing games. If that idea is put into effect, then this place wouldn't be as fun anymore. I like it when there is some mystery amoung the members here.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy]He wrote notes to the girl, and he stated publicly that he loved the girl as much as a future wife. That's what he said in the newspaper. That's all I know detail-wise. My school is being really good about keeping the details in secret. School might be in so much trouble now because they didn't report what was going on soon enough....so that means they may get heavily fined. That on top of budget cuts is not a good combination. u_u [/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy]It's a good thing. It releases all those bad feelings....and if you never cried.....your eyes would be as red as a cherry. (your eyes need to stay moist in order to operate)[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy]Last year, there was a school shooting at a neighboring school. Two monthes ago, there was a kid who shot himself in the head right in front of a school in a town not too far from here. Now, at [I]my[/I] school, a teacher was fired and getting tried for sexual abuse of a 17 year old girl. What is this world coming to? I am somewhat afraid to go to my high school any more. Like, what'll happen next? At my school, we have an open campus. (I know....weird for Washington state to have an open campus) If some crazy guy comes on campus, how do we escape? So basically what I'm asking is, do you think that schools are still as safe as they say it is? If so, why, and if not....why? I 've been questioning my school's safety a lot lately. What's really creepy was that the teacher being tried was everyone's favorite.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy]I was neither. My friends and I just played Cops and robbers. I actually wanted to be a ninja when I was little. They are the coolest ever! Much better than any pirate or cowboy.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy] Thanks for the replies everyone! ^_^ [U]Newest Editions[/U] Syk3- Greg [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/zoombunnyzoom/1up.gif[/IMG] [U][I][B]Chapter 4: The Plot Thickens[/B][/I][/U] As our heroes made their way along the beat ridden path, the citzens in at Peach's castle lived at peace. Everday, Toad, bob-bombs, and goombas alike lived in perfect harmony. At the castle, Princess Peach had Mario over. They were in the middle of eating the cake that the two made together and also some delicious hot tea. They were deep in discussion about the goings of the town. Mario listened whole heartedly to the Princess's gossip like any good hero would do. Though, an odd silence followed when Peach stopped talking. She looked towards the ground nervously. It looked like she was busy contemplating about something. Mario stared at her confusingly. [I]What on earth is she thinking?[/I] he thought. She stood up rather abruptly and banged her fists on the table. "I can't take this anymore!" she yelled. Mario just looked all the more confused. Princess Peach ripped off her pink dress and white gloves. What was underneath was a revealling pink bikini. Mario blushed. "Come to me, baby!" She walked rather seductively over to her majestic bed and went underneath the covers. Peach then fumbled around like a fish andwhat she had done was take off her top! She threw it towards Mario's direction. It landed on his head. She did the same with her bikini bottom. It landed on Mario's big nose. You could tell that Mario was grinning underneath the Pink bikini. The truth was that he was rather excited. He fiddled with his overalls. After detaching the last button, he stood tall and proud as his overalls fell down to his ankles. [I]Mario was really handsome[/I] Peach thought as she was drooling at the mouth. Crash! The windows broke. Bowser saw the two of them, ran over to Peach's bed and grabbed her...blanket and all. He then ran out of the room with Peach screaming and crying. "Save me Mario!" she yelled. "Hey keep your hands off my ass you dirty bastard!" Mario pulled his overalls back up, and desperately tried to rebutton them, but he kept messing up. "MARIO!" He dropped what he was doing, and ran out of the room trying not to trip on the overalls that fell back down to his ankles again. Outside the castle, Bowser shoved the poor princess into his air balloon. He jumped in also and started to fly off. Mario was not too far behind, but alas he tripped and fell into the moat. -------------------------------------- Toad saw something in the moat. It was floating as it drifted towards the water's edge. Toad decided that he'd take a closer look to investigate. To his surprise, it was Mario! He pulled and he pulled, but Mario was too heavy. [I]Geez! He needs to go on a diet![/I] he thought. "Yoshi, go get some help!!" Yoshi nodded and seconds later came back with a bunch of bob-bombs and goombas. Working as a team, they pulled Mario out of the water. Toad tried to wake him up by poking him, but that didn't work very well. Mario was still unconscious. Several bob-bombs circled the hero. As the exploded, Mario was blasted in the air and landed with a big thump. He blinked. The crowd cheered wildly, but soon stopped when the gazed toward the pantless Mario. They all laughed. Mario turned into a cherry red color as he buttoned his overalls quickly. He jumped onto Yoshi's back and the two set off towards the setting sun. -------------------- Now back to the four main heroes of the story. They've been traveling all this time without any disruptions...till now. A passerby in blue and white clothing stopped the four by blocking the road. "Who are you?" Mike asked. "I'm Greg...err...Sheik." the stranger replied. "I've come to tell you how you can get the triforce back."[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy]I just hate it when: [list] [*]People act like they know it all....they don't [*]stuck up people that think that they are the best people on the earth and that everyone should worship the ground they walk on [*]immature people that run through malls laughing their heads off....or crying over broken nails or HS dating break-ups [/list] 'nuff said.[/COLOR]

[IMG]http://www.maj.com/gallery/Japan86/Random-Stuff/finalid_by_larafairie.bmp[/IMG] [COLOR=Navy][U][I][B]Chapter 3: Erica's Other Form[/B][/I][/U] Erica and Jon immediately ran over to the machine to do whatever they could to save the poor Laura. The machine had her playing in heavy mode now...which was quickly overwhelming her. She could hardly pass standard mode! Erica was screaming and smacking at the flashy screen, while Jon was kicking the machine in various places with his golden cowboy boots. Eventually, Erica's bitching got on Jon's nerves, making Jon yell at her in annoyance. "Will you just shut up!?!?!" She immediately stopped screaming and smacking at the machine. She looked like she was about to cry. She transformed into gothic form. Erica was now dressed in ravishing black attire. Her brown hair was now pitch black. Where her glasses had been, masacra and black eye liner were on her eyes. A little yellow stuffed bunny appeared in her hands. Also, her finger nails were painted black. "Come on, Erica! I didn't mean it that way. Just that your bitching won't help that matter this time." All she said in reply was, "Hmph, when she stuck her nose into the air. "HELLO!?! A...little...help...here????" Laura yelled. Laura, by this time, was really sweaty and she looked like she was about to faint. Jon withdrew the Master Sword from it's sheath after realizing that his kicking wasn't much help either. He started to hack and slash at that damned machine. After about six hits, the DDR machine quit working. At that moment, Laura began to fall. Erica caught her just in time though, so Laura didn't hurt herself. Jon picked up the weak and tired Laura, and they walked back to where Mike was. When they got closer to his location, they heard his screams of agony. Erica ran closer to the screams, but soon stopped...laughing her head off. She transformed into her regular geeky self. Her hair now brown again and her glasses back in it's proper place.....the perky Erica form returned! Her tight red glitter Blastoise shirt and glittery blue bell bottoms sparkled in the sun. When Jon finally saw what Erica was laughing so hard at, a grin flashed across his face. There was Mike on his bird....still duck taped, but the other three birds were pecking him on the head. Jon laid Laura gently on the ground and he gave her some cow's milk. She quickly recovered and the four were finally on their way again to search for the Triforce. [/COLOR]

[quote name='Morpheus']How about we all get stranded on an island? We can be one big happy family...until Charles kills us all.[/quote] H[COLOR=Navy]e wouldn't hurt me, let alone kill me. The people I'd choose would be Drix and Charles. Drix is an excellent choice for when it comes to medical care. Whenever Charles, or I get hurt or sick, he'll help us get better. Charles is the best choice for a morale booster. Whenever we feel down in the dumps, he'll cheer us up. He's funny and he'll always put a smile on our faces. I also know that he is a very hard worker. He's very wise and sensible. I would be a good choice because I've learned all about survival in science class, and I actually had to survive two days out in the freezing cold and walk 21 miles doing various tasks like making bows and arrows once for girl scouts. I also learned in the science class about what is poisonus and what is edible.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy][U][I][B]Chapter 2: The Expedition[/B][/I][/U] "Jon! Jon! Are you there? Erika, Mike, and I need your help!" Laura yelled over the phone. "I'm here, Laura. What seems to be the problem?" "Bowser stole the Triforce!" "He what!?! I'm coming right over." Within five minutes, he was there. After kicking Mike in the nads several times for letting Bowser get away with the triforce, the four made their way in the direction Bowser went. They walked and they walked, and for a little change of pace they walked some more. The four eventually made their way to a Choborobo ranch. A small figure stepped out of a nearby barn. His toothless grin appeared underneath the man's ratty old straw hat. "Good ol' day it is folks. Charles my name and raising chobos on this here ranch my game. Could I interest you fine youngins' into a ride or two, or even a couple O' rents? I'm pretty cheap when it comes to rentin' out these here birds. "Sure! We'll take four of them." replied Mike. "Are you sure you want to do that, Mike?" asked Erica. "You're not the best of riders." "If I can easily ride them via the control, I'm sure that I'll be fine. I'm the best gamer there is!" "Ok..." Erica said unconvinced. Mike paid Charles the money. As the four finally settled into their saddles, Mike immediately flew off his. "Damn bird! Baka!" Mike cried out in a furious rage. He had fallen off the saddle. "Here now," said the rancher, "Let me fix that." The rancher pulled a roll of duck tape from his utility bag, and taped Mike unto the saddle. Mike stayed on the chobo no problem after that. Soon after that, the four started off. After what seemed like a long time in trotting along the path, Laura caught a glimpse of something really shiny and flashy. She stopped her Chobo abruptly, and told the others to wait a minute. She rode her Chobo towards what had caught her eye. Erica and Jon got off their rides and followed Laura since Mike was still taped to his. They soon found Laura playing Dance Dance Revolution. She seemed very concentrated in what she was doing. She wasn't a bad dancer either. Round after round after round she played. Eventually Erica got bored. "Laura! Come on! We have a mission here." Erika called out. Jon readily agreed. "I.....can't.......stop......dancing!" Laura paused from being out of breath, "HELP!!!!!!!!" [/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy]Would I like to be a moderator here? Not really. For one thing, I can run to some of my friends who have the power of the mod rod or otherwise if there is a spammy thread or a bad member. Why bother being a mod? The other reason is because I have admin duties at another message board and I wouldn't be able to stand to do anymore. A lot of the staff here do an awesome job anyhow. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy]This story of mine was inspired by one of my dear friends, DarkSerena, and is sort of an inside joke amoung friends. Let me explain who is who character wise... Desbreko- Jon Shinmaru- Mike DarkSerena- Erika Japan_86- Laura Now on with the story.... [I][U][B]The Search For The Triforce: Chapter 1[/B][/U][/I] "C'mere my darlings," said the head huncho, Mike as he adored the triforce that was in his pocession. "Yes, Mike," Laura replied. Erika came over to the two soon after with a two liter bottle of Mountain Dew in one hand and a bag of chips in the other. She gave Laura the soda as Mike sat himself up. Right when Erika put the first chip into Mike's mouth, he grabbed her by the waist and pulled her alongside. She giggled. Laura poured the soda into three seperate glasses as the other two flirted. She rolled her eyes as she drank her glass all in one gulp. She poured herself another while thinking, [I]Those two never stop do they?[/I] All of a sudden, a big breeze blew through the air surrounding the three. Erica and Mike stopped rather quickly, and Laura could feel a shiver run down her spine. Something, or someone, was outside that cool night. The three nervously stepped outside out into the darkness to investigate. There was nothing to be seen. "BAM!" Something crashed inside. Mike, being the all tough guy that he is, exclaimed, "Never Fear!!! Mike is here!!!!" He started at a run but shortly after tripped on his rather long black Zorro cape. BOOM! CRASH! KAPOW! More sounds were heard inside the room.. The two girls came to his aid and helped him up. They hurried inside soon to find the bedroom a total mess. Near the window on the other side of the room, there was a tall, big figure with brownish-red mangy hair. The mysterious monster laughed aloud. "What are you doing here?" asked Laura in an annoyed voice. "To take this of course," said the monster turning around. The girls, Mike, and the monster were now face to face. "BOWSER!" the three all yelled at once rather shocked. Mike looked down to see what Bowser was holding. He suddenly turned very pale and fainted. The two girls could barely stand underneath the Mexican's weight, and Mike soon fell to the ground. The girls, finally noticing what Bowser had taken looked pretty abash. What Bowser had taken was the precious Triforce itself! Bowser laughed insanely and proudly boasted, "I shall rule the world!!!!!" With that last remark, he jumped out the window and into his Mario mushroom air balloon and floated off into the night sky. Comments? There is more to come...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy]I am half English, quarter German, and the rest are Norwegian, and Swedish. I got to see where my ancestors from England came from. Also, they used to own most of Pennslyvania during the colony days, but alas, they had to sell it. -_- I'm proud to be part Norseman though. The vikings have such an interesting history. All four also have really delicious food, and fun traditions...like leaving our shoes out to get filled with candy some day before Chirstmas. As well as opening presents on the night of Christmas Eve instead of opening presents on the morning of Christmas day.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy]I could deal without all of the immaturity, drugs, sex, and drama in high school. I'm in my senior year and I can't wait to get out of there. I love the classes, don't get me wrong. I just hate the foul language, the sex, the drugs, and the smoking. Kids smoke in the parking lot all the time, even though the parking lot is part of the campus and there is a rule of no drugs on school grounds. It just sickens me. Another thing I hate...the immaturity. Here are people who get super depressed over getting dumped, cry because they accidently broke a nail, and complain all the time. There are also those that are loud, inconsiderate, and rude. They don't care about the people around them. They do what they want, regardless of the consequences that follow. There are also those kind of people that are so called [I]light-switch[/I] friends. They are your friends one day, and they make you feel like absolute crap the next. I also have to deal with some other issues, like, right now, I feel like I'm being replaced and forgotten. If that's true, oh well. I don't really care all that much. I have my good friends and I'm happy to have them. I do agree that friends help you a lot when it comes to surviving in high school. Otherwise, high school would be a total depressing and lonely place. On the positve side, there are a couple things I like. You get free text books and free classes. (college students, you know what I mean) Another thing that's really entertaining are the fights that happen. They are often times really funny to watch. Mostly, because a lot of them are those weaklings...at my school anyways. They mostly just end up as chick aka cat fights, or a push and shove match. What makes it even funnier is how it takes so long for the staff at my school to realize a fight is happening, and finally break it up.[/COLOR]

That poem was sad. It reminds me of those instances of me being lonely. It was really well done. I loved it. You are really good with the flow of words.

[COLOR=Navy]I have quite a few favorites. They are Coke Cola, Mountain Dew, Barg's root beer, Strawberry flavored Mexican soda, chocolate, and strawberry soda, and that Ramune soda as well. They all have their different flavors. What I like about the chocolate and strawberry sodas, is that you get ice cream with them. Yum![/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy] I live in the USA, and like Panda, I live specifically in Washington state. Four years ago, I lived in England. When I was there, the farthest I traveled was Translyvania. A pretty depressing place in parts because of all of the people living in the streets, a lot of uneducated people, and many orphans as well. The reason for going to Translyvannia was to give one kindergarden class construction paper, and also...in Romania, give this one orphanage money for a milking cow, and tractor. Also, we went to this one hospital with a bunch of mamed people living. We gave them stuffed animals that we collected. Some of them were so cute, and I was really happy. One mentally challanged man received a Tickle-Me-Elmo. He was so happy. He laughed and laughed. I also got to see Dracula's castle while on that trip. Spooky place![/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy]I've been playing around with photoshop a lot lately, and here is what I made. Comments? First off is a wallpaper. I used some of the art from MegaTokyo. I did a whole bunch of random crap to the backround.

[COLOR=Navy]This may seem pretty stupid, but I really get entertained when I make my video game characters go around in circles. I just get really really happy when I do that. >_>[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy]This is really good when we only talked about this vaguely. Amazing! Well done! You are starting to make me hungry now, and I ate only a couple of hours ago. I must have mac 'n' cheese for lunch tomorrow! I love it! You write the best poems ever![/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy]I am going to graduate in June. As far as what I am going to do after graduate, I have no clue. My parents keep changing their mind on what they will allow me t do. They keep changing their mind every week. One week they want me to go to a community college, another week, they want me to go to Washington State University, and another week, they don't want me to go to college at all, and get a full time job for two years. u_u Now they are thinking of me going into the Air National Guard. I am so confused and stressed. >_< What am I going to do? Gah![/COLOR]

[quote name='ShadO MagE][color=silver']The protestors don't agree with him, and they're using the big televised event to get the word out. To show bush that there are people who don't agree with him, or the values he sets forth and tries the enforce upon the masses. And yes if your wondering had I been able to get up to D.C. i would have been protesting too. [/color][/quote] [COLOR=Navy]He already knows how those kind of people feel about him, so why bother, and why so violent? If they don't like Bush for the war, here's an interesting fact. There's 100,000 soldiers in Iraq, while 400,000 police in the state of California. My teacher says that there is just about the same amount of violence in California as there is in Iraq.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Navy]I was dying just after I was born, but the doctors helped me live. I saved my best friend's life. We were playing house. I put her in this toddler stroller, and zipped her in. (It was those child proof ones where you couldn't unzip from the inside. Well, we were going down this steep driveway. I was tipping the front up so the stroller was doing wheelies. I wasn't strong enough, so I had my hands underneath the handle bar. Anyways, we where going down this steep driveway. Clumsy as I was at that age, I tripped and fell forward. My knuckles of my hands where trapped underneath the handle bar, and my knuckles where grinding against the cement and the pressure of the stroller pulling me down the driveway. I managed to finally get my hands out of the stroller as soon as we reached the street. I ran towards my house, skin totally taken away on all of my knuckles, and my knees and arms badly scabbed, scratched, and bruised when I heard a huge horn blow. Turns out it was from a big truck. My best friend was trapped in the stroller in the middle of the street. I stopped screaming, still full of tears, ran out there, and saved her before she got ran over. [/COLOR]
