[quote name='BlueYoshi][color=teal']Well, ChibiHorsewoman, you haven't really said how your husband likes his RPGs, [/color][/quote] [color=darkviolet]Really bad oversight on my part. My hubby's played Vampire the Masquerade, D&D and a few other dice games I can't quite remember the names of. Before 4thID (yes, he's 1stCav, but his gaming buddies from that group were 4thID) got their orders to deploy in April 2003 the group of guys he was playing with were going to try this star wars RPG. But then the army couldn't figure out when to send everyone. So that kind of fell apart. He did a few online RPGs I think one of them was called Never Winter Nights and another one had to do with the military and doing out of the way recon missions. He also tried to do a LARP but that didn't work out to well. I guess the best way to describe how Lincoln likes his RPGs is to say he'll try anything once, even if it's a badly orchastrated LARP. I'm really appreciating all the feed back you guys are giving me. Hopefully I'll have something sorted out by the beginning of July[/color]

[color=darkviolet]We never had Nintendo at my house, infact, we [i]finally[/i] got an X Box last month and that was purchased by my brother. But I do remember going down to visit my Aunt Kathy in Texas and she had Nintendo (this was 92 and Nintendo was still the big thing) At first I started shooting at the ducks from a regular distance from the TV, but the dog kept laughing at me so finally my then 10 (I didn't turn 11 until a month after I left) year old brain decided to place the gun right on the screen and I'll be danged if I didn't shoot every duck. Pleased with my success I tried for the clay discs, but found I sucked at that. But hey, there wasn't a dog taking enjoyment from my displeasure on that game.[/color] [quote name='Nate][color=purple']Oh, and Chibi, i know exactly who I'm voting for to receive next year's most active member[/color][/quote] [color=darkviolet]They really have a catergory for that? I'm impressed[/color]

[color=darkviolet]I started watching this last year with all the funny people. It was one of the few reality shows I liked. Now it's beginning it's second season tonight on CBS (or NBC) at 8/7 central. I can't wait to see it again. So does anyone else have any opinions?[/color]

[color=darkviolet]And for bonus points (like the ones on Whose Line) Do you remeber your first video game. I'm a child of the eighties and I have to say that the very first game consol I ever used was an atari. Yes, that's what I said, an ATRAI. I thought it was the neatest thing to play. I mostly played Pac Man and got eaten by those ghost looking things. Hey, I was six, not that anything's really changed, but I'm going to use I was six as an excuse. I also played that pong game until my brother lost the twsty controlers and only had the joy sticks. I had to stop playing it in '95 because my brother decided to take the whole thing apart. But yes, those were the days, playing low quality graphic video games and enjoying myself. Excuse me while I go reminince[/color]

[color=darkviolet]I'm getting my husband one of those little hand held game boys, but I have no idea what game to send along with it since the only video games I ever play are Sims and DDR . So that said I'm looking for suggestions. Anything would help since I'm pretty much clueless in this kind of situation. At least I admit it. Thanks in advance, CHW [FONT=Comic Sans MS]Chibi Horsewoman[/FONT][/color]

[color=darkviolet]I think I'll go with what Semjaza said. The last game boy I used was the original 2 color, knock someone out with it, 1989 original game boy. Come to think of it, I still have to get a better score on Tetris next time I play. I still remember playing Mario on the one my orthodontist had in his office while they tightened my braces. Ouch! I was thinking of getting my husband one of the GBA for his birthday so he'd have something to play with besides the computer which likes to act up. So I think I'll use this thread for advice as well. Ja [/color]

[color=darkviolet]I thought of more, let me know what you think. 1.) You read people's signatures at the end of their posts for fun and start laughing. 2.) You think it's funny that your husband swallowed his tongue ring and think other people should think it's funny as well. :laugh: Yes that's right, laugh at someone you've never met! :smirk: 3.) For some reason putting the words [spoiler]blue and balls[/spoiler] together cracks you up. 4.) You tie a shoelace to your dog's collar so your cat can play with her and you're having more fun than either of them. 5.) You and your brother have battles with twizzlers and you can't help but laugh. 6.) You find this lady by the name of Betty Burpee in the obituaries and then everytime you or someone else passes gas you say that it was 'for Betty'. My mom has been doing that since Sunday morning when she looked at the obituaries and found that lady. :rolleyes: 7.) Arts and crafts projects for you include stringing tiny pretzels on Twizzlers. 8.) You look at bumper stickiers and laugh at them. 9.) You've filled up a notebook on things to do to a brainwashed human yet you have no way of brainwashing a human. 10.) you think the try on purse feature at Coach.com is one of the coolest things ever. 11.) You look through other people's lists to find things to do. 12.) You put bubble wrap on the kitchen floor for the dogs to walk over and laugh when they jump 13.) You make up stories about strange things, like anime characters in the real world then crack up when you try to picture Sesshomaru using a toaster. 14.) You have a funny sounding word of the moment like Baloney and the word baloney makes you laugh for hours. 15.) After watching a movie or TV show you will quote that movie or TV show for a few hours much to everyone's displeasure, but your enjoyment[/color]

[color=darkviolet]I came upon this manga today while I mindlessly wandered Media Play. I don't even know why i picked it up. I know I didn't buy it, just picked it up and looked it over a bit. From what I get the story is about this high school girl that fights too much and something else about these three warriors who tried to unite China a long time ago and failed. Somehow the two are connected. (I know, I should've bothered to read it a bit more than what I did. *bad CHW!* :flaming: ) The artwork as you may want to know is well, strange. I think it has some gratuotis(it's 12:25AM, you want me to spell correctly :drunk: ) nakedness of the main character who has bossoms the size of watermelons while her waist is way too small to support that weight in a natural fashion. There are also a few panty shots. Which is probably why the manga is 16+. Oh that and the whole swearing thing. I'm curious if anyone else has seen or heard of this manga yet. MAybe someone can give better insight than me. Or I can just sit down in Media Play and read it tomorrow to give a better review and summary of this manga. Maybe I can even remember who created it. :D [/color]

[quote name='Fall']I heard your tongue swells up so bad that it's hard to swallow any food too easily, you have to eat soup and drink alot while the swelling is up. Is that what happens really?[/quote] [color=darkviolet]I'm going on a second person experiance, but yes your tongue will swell and you'll talk like a five year old. Lincoln's tongue didn't swell too bad, but he had the worst time eatting the first day, but by the second he could. The pain wasthe one thing I remember him moaning about. It's different for different people I guess. The clamp part was the most interesting thing for me to watch, they pull your tongue out and dab it off. bottom line, your tongue may swell, but not to astronomic proprtions[/color]

[color=darkviolet] *drum roll* [b]Slacker 2004[/b] You get to be a 25 year old guy or gal depending on your preference living in your parent's basement. One day mom decides it's time for you to get out and get a job. Okay that doesn't sound much like a slacker, but here's the object of the game: You lose points the longer you're at your new job. And if your new job is really up there you get even more deducted. You move up levels by getting fired, playing hooky and insulting the boss. The more your mom or dad nags the more points you get. I'm not quite sure how else to promote [b]Slacker 2004[/b] except to say your only real activities are partying, getting drunk and being on the computer. As you can tell, I don't play too many video games, I just get strange ideas.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]It's sad when anyone dies, but you can't actually go around thinking that everyone thinks the same way or try to make someoen feel bad for feeling the way they feel. I find that I feel bad for the Reagan family (as I would for the Bush family thoughts about policy aside) since their greiving is going to be on public display. Just like it was a few years back when Nixon died and just like it was when Jackie Kennedy dies. Can I get an opinion on what people think about that instead of saying how a person should feel about someone's death? A person's greiving for a family member should be a private affair no matter what the situation, but you know they're going to have it video taped.[/color]

[QUOTE=DeathBug]No, I don't. I was not angry when I posted, and I stand by what I said. If your view of the world is so petty that you take pleasure in the death of someone ideaologically opposed to you, and in such a flippant and disrespectful manner, then you're a cretin. QUOTE] [color=darkviolet]I fail to see how you're more mature than me with your name calling. And telling Adora that you wish the same things to be said about her. Take some time to step back and look at what you say before you say it. I don't wish for anyone's death and it's cruel of you to say so. I was just admitting that I was kind of hoping it would be bush and you can't tell me that other people may or may not feel the same way. Get over it, you probably aren't even old enough to remember any of his policies for the nation. And now, back to the topic.[/color]

[quote name='Fall']I'd love to get my tongue pierced. Like one of those tongue bars, it'd be pretty mad. My parents have no problem with it, they just have to give me permission when I'm actually there to get it done, and they can do it.[/quote] [color=darkviolet]make sure to eat pleanty of ice cream, take plenty of pain killers and don't swallow the thing.![/color] [QUOTE=Emme888]but yeah this summer, me and my friends are all going to get our nipples pierced. I have no idea why..but it just kinda of sounds kinky and fun. Plus i heard afterwards there are tons of benefits ;) ;) but anywho.. im only getting one pierced in case i dont like it. [/QUOTE] [color=darkviolet]If you're going to go through with getting one pierced you may as well do both because if you like them it will look all lopsided, but you won't [i]want[/i] to get the other one pierced because they hurt like hell. At least that's what my husband said and he got both of his done. I know they'll look lopsided tho becaese my friend's brother has one (just one) and it looks bad. Plus, you're under 18 so what the hell are you thinking about. For that matter, why are your parents letting you do this? I'm sorry, but my mommy genes are kicking in right now. There aren't too many benifits except the fact that you can say 'I didn't scream too loudly when they stuck a needle through my nipple' and I doubt you can say that without lying. I'm not trying to sound harsh, I'm trying to make you think.[/color]

[quote name='Adora][i]FINALLY[/i']. I was waiting for him to drop off the perch.[/quote] [quote name='DeathBug][color=indigo][size=1][font=comic sans ms]We'll be sure to say the same thing about you.[/color][/size'][/font][/quote] [color=darkviolet]Both of you need a time out. I heard that on the car radio yesturday, but had jus t tuned in so I heard them say president and I was hoping it was Bush. I know that sounds bad, but I'm not for BUsh. My mom didn't think he was one of the best presidents we had, but I don't know too much of his politics becaus eI was only a baby to a second grader (as were most of you or younger) so I can't make much of a judgement. It's sad that someone dies, but I feel really bad for his family because the media won't let them grieve privately.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]Another anime/manga character I could consider sating if the world came to be that one could date 2-D characters would be Tasuki from Fushigi Yugi. I think it might be because of his fangs, but I'm not sure. I like how he flames Tamahome with his tessen in one of the episodes. It shows that he has a twisted sense of humor. He's also very strange around his friends like that one dance he does with his buddy from the bandits from Mt. something or other.(Sorry, I haven't watched in a while). Tasuki is just one of those anime characters who's antic are just amusing. I only wish he didn't drink so much and claim to hate women. [b]Manga only guy[/b]: Kiley Okayasu from Peach Girl. He's another one on my list because he seems to look deeper than what's on the surface and doesn't take everything at face vaule. I appreciate that as a personal character to begin with and even more so for soemone I'd want to hang out with either as a friend or more. The only problem-okay problems- that exist are the fact that he can't decide whether [spoiler]he likes Momo or Misao[/spoiler] which is definately a problem as far as potential boyfriends go (oh gods, I did type that myself and I just finished talking to Lincoln. Someone call a psychiatrist please!) But still, he's always there to offer support when someone needs it and he's not one to listen to gossip about peopel and believe it once he hears it. I have to side with Panda on chosing Millions Knives as one of the guys I couldn't date out of fear for my life. Why? Well, let's look at the evidence: 1.) [b]He's a bit of a nutter[/b]-He laughs when he kills things or people. That's a sign of severe emotional break down. 2.) [b]He tries to get others to kill like he kills[/b]- Case in point Vash. I don't think the guns got there by themselves. Somebody planted those into his arms and that somebody is Knives. 3.) [b]He either kills people or makes peopel crazy so they kill[/b]- Yes, that's someone I [i]really[/i] want around me a nutcase with guns who likes to incite death no thank you. 4.) [b]He doesn't like humans[/b]- I think that's the proverbial straw that broke the proverbial camel's back. I happen to be human and I don't happen to like dying violently. Farewell Millions Knives Benedicite![/color]

[quote name='BlueGender][size=1][color=navy]I mean I have been called down to take the most racists test because im an African American since 6th grade. They test you in 6th grade and 8th grade and ask you quesitions like have you ever sold drugs, been sent to prison or sold drugs. It was " for college research" but im like why does it matter.[/size'][/color][/quote] [color=darkviolet]I was asked those questions once in 9th grade because my ultra stupidly nosey Business MAth teacher noticed a bottle of Midol fall out of my book bag and asked if I was distributing drug periphenilia. (Infact so was my brother, by the same teacher I looked at her and said, well, it depends on what Midol goes for on the black market. Needless to say that answer got me a meeting with the school conselor. It's always amazed me what stupid things will get you in trouble. I went to a school that was [b]voluntarily[/b] segregated. The Asians ate with asians, the whites ate with whites and so on. Very few peopel crossed that stupid line. And if you did you were trying to be something. Like what I don't know, one of my closest friends is Mexican Irish so I have no clue where she was supposed to sit. So I think all us half breeds got a table together as well, who knows.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]I sit on my pregnant butt corrected. I asked my husband, one of the many nerds I know. He said what you said. You can have your money back and the new car.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]I think Panda and I definately lucked out. We don't have to go looking for guys any more, the guys we're with seem to almost embody what we look for. Especially the hygeine (I hope) My hubby definately has good hygeine, during the summer while stationed state side he takes two showers a day. As far as I can tell, most of us girls look for eyes first then the rest. I can also tell that humor is very important as it should be. Who wants to date or for that matter marry a whiney little boy. Not I, I did that once and almost commited justifiable homicide. I'm curious, how important is it that he seems to have a somewhat stable home environment or come from the same background as you The reason I'm asking is because my husband and I come from completely different economic backgrounds and family settings. My family is middle class, we've always gone on nice trips, I grew up in a decent neighborhood and my parents both worked and had cars. I never really used public transportation except the Lilac Festival and Harbor Fest shuttles. Plus I finished high school. I've always lived in the same house, with both my parents and I know most of my relatives. In contrast, my husband grew up in mostly the inner city except when he lived with his brother in New Jersey, a preacher in NJ an Aunt and some people in VA. Most people either have to pay full price for their lunch or get discounted lunch. He got free lunch. The first time he was on a plane and had money was when he joined the army. He almost wound up on the street because his mom wouldn't get a job and after his mom took him to Va he didn't see his father's side of the family until last year and he still hasn't met his other 4 1/2 brothers. However, we have a very good relationship even if he thinks it's strange that I've never seen a cockroach outside of a zoo.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon has been my anime mainstay since I first saw it in '94. So it goes without saying that my most memorable episodes will be from SailorMoon SailorMoon Episode #1 [b]The Crybaby Usagi's beautiful transformation.[/b] The reason this episode is so memorable is because it's the very first one in the series. We meet Tsukino Usagi and Luna and get the basic idea of what this show will be about. SailorMoonS Episode # 106 [b]Unmei no Kizuna! Uranus no Tooi hi. (I think that translates to The future dream-the first one atleast)[/b] Most memorable Line: "At that time I wanted to be the wind, I just wanted to escape my destiney." Ten'ou Haruka In this episode Haruka tells how she and Michiru met. [spoiler]She also tells how she became a sailor senshi.[/spoiler] The whole episode is actually a background story about Haruka and Michiru and how they came to be who they are adn why they were so intent on saving the world their way. SailorMoon SailorStars #196 [b]When the galaxy perishes! The Sailor Senshi's final battle[/b] This episode is basically the beginning of the end for the series. It's probably one of the saddest episodes in the season because the inners all [spoiler]die in this episode and the next one[/spoiler] I really liked Rei/Mars' reply to Eternal Moon when she says: 'You're never alone.' It shows how deeply Rei cares for Usagi despite evidence to the contrary. And finally: SailorMoon Sailor Stars #200 [b]Usagi no ai! Ginga wo terasu. (Usagi's love! The moonlight illuminates the galaxy)[/b] Memorable Quote: At the end of the closing credits Usagi goes: It's the end. This episode was very pretty. It's also memorable because it's the last episode of SailorMoon. She defeated Galaxia and learned that all her enemies were connected. Her friends came back to life. And then she says good-bye to the Three Lights/ Sailor Starlights. It really hit me at the end that this episode was really the last one.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]Uh, the literature section is that way *points* Like Azure wolf said your post would be so much easier to read if you just stuck to the basics. Not to mention that other board members may bother to read the whole post if it was shorter and made sense instead of looked like you were simply reiterating a chapter in the book. That would be like if I started talking about the middle ages and used a global studies essay. Now that that's done and over with I think I'll go back to microsoft word and write my stories[/color]

[color=darkviolet]Race sex, and nationality should be inconsequential when talking about a person's accomplishments. However that's not how the world seems to work. As for the whole racial profiling thing that the FBI and CIA are doing to these people it's called the Patriot act. I think it's a stupid idea. If the governemnt is going to start doing things like this to protect the country why don't we just do what we did to the JApanese americans during the US involvement in WW2 and put all these Arab Americans in internment camps and deny them their basic civil rights as well as the rights under geneva conventions like Donald Rumsfeld did to the detanies in Guantanamo bay? We do this and in another five or so years we can appologize for our behavior. Whatever. [/color]

[color=darkviolet]I figure I'm confident enough to do this even if the only time I ever kissed a girl was at Wal*Mart because we were bored and felt like freaking people out. I guess if I had to go looking for a girlfriend I'd look for the same things I do in a boyfriend. (Wait, I mean oh **** nevermind!) Eyes are always a first priority. Then hair and oh, who can keep everything straight? Like guys I don't care if they're tattooed or not. But nothing too gaudy. If I was a lesbian I could never even consider dating my mother-in-law for a few weeks let alone a one night stand. Not only is she too old (come to think of it, only two of my boyfriends have been older than me) and has no sense of personal hygeine, but she has too many tattoos. I still want someone with a sense of humor, good taste and good hygeine. Is that too much to ask?[/color]

[color=darkviolet]With the topics up concerning what attracts you to the opposite (or same) sex I figured I'd have to ask this question about people's opinions on this subject. Also, if anyone has considered getting a tattoo or a piercing other than the normal place. Or even considered putting teflon slots under your skin. As for me well, I'm inked already as well as pierced. I have a small tattoo on my left shoulderblade which is the japanese character for equestrian. I had my eyebrow pierced, but then I had to take the bar out then I lost it so I can't get it re done until after I have Abby in September. I'm also thinking of getting a Marilyn (not too seriously tho) which is a piercing above your upper lip. People who know me may think that's a strange consideration since I think nose rings-especially those bull rings are so stupid looking. I like tattoos on people as long as they're not tacky, or there are too many. I like creative ones or ones for people's children. My mother-in-law is a prime example of too many and too tacky. She has 15 of them and 14 of them are on her arms. The 15 is on her lower abdomen (c'mon she's 52 almost 53 who wants to see that?) it's this big Harley Davidson symbol and it's lopsided. The only decent one she has is the two hearts with her sons' names in them. My husband has six, he said he'll get his seventh when he comes home in September. He's trying to make some kind of design around our daughter's name. Lincoln also has a tongue ring and is thinking of getting his nipples re-pierced (a friend of his did them in Korea, but he had to take them out for PT) As for body mods like teflon implants don't get me started. Why would you want your skin to be all bumpy and wierd looking? I knew this one guy who had them in his neck ug that was just so wrong. THen those people who get their tongues split so they can be the next lizard man...okay who forgot to give them medication? well, there's my opinion. Next please?[/color]

[color=darkviolet]There's already one gender specific (if you really can call it that) thread up here so I figured I'd make my own until the're merged. I guess it's a safe enough question to ask of people right? [b]What I look for in a guy physically:[/b] 1.) Eyes. The more expressive the better. I think eyes are one of the most important physical features on anyone (nevermind if they work or not) so that's always my top priority. even my ex's had nice eyes, tho not as nice as Lincoln's. 2.) Hair. Preferably on the head, no back hair. If they have a baby face I really don't care- the less body hair the better. I'm not very specific on hair color though. 3.) Height. Generally a few inches taller than me isn't all that bad that way he can reach things on the top shelf of the cupboards. Also I can buy shoes with a heel on them and not feel awkward. 4.) Tattoos/Piercings. Not all that important, but they are a good conversation starter. And if the guy has inked himself there's a good chance he won't mind if I do the same. In fact it could be encouraged. And with piercings well, it's easier to find presents when they have a few holes in their head. :laugh: 5.) Clothes. Nothing sloppy or that looks like he rescued it from a lawnmower. The guy doens't need to wear expensive clothes, just ones that look nice. [b]What makes him a keeper (non physical).[/b] 1.) How he treats me. There's no question about it if the guy treats me like dirt, cheats on me, or disreguardes that I may know more than him in anyway he's going to take a flying lesson. If he treats me nicely well, he gets treated nicely in return 2.)A good sense of humor. Sometimes I tend to pick on the people I care about the most. Many of my friends are the same way. I call my hubby a nerd and an uber Trekkie and say that it's child abuse to take your child to a Star Trek exhibit at the LAs Vegas Hilton because she can't decide if she wants to go or not. He thinks it's funny. And if he can make me laugh more power to him. 3.) He gets along with my friends and family. Most women know howthe friend test goes it's called the girl friend test. Well, Lincoln passed (There's a long story that I'm going to leave out) The guy has to respect your friends and not act like the king of the Chicken *******. As for family, putting up with your mom rubbing his head and saying ooh fuzzy (don't ask) is a definate A+. [b]What makes me head for the hills[/b] 1.) Bad hygeine. I don't care if he showers once a day or every other day or twice a day as long as he showers with hot water, soap , and shampoo. I also liek a guy who changes his underwear, his socks and wears deoderant. Oh and just owning a toothbrush doesn't cut it, you have to use the toothbrush with toothpaste as well. 2.) If he acts like king of the Chicken ******* whether around my friends or his it's not going any further. Which is probably why it didn't bother me that my ex-roommate's ex- girlfriend told me that he wouldn't like me because i had short hair when I met them. Honestly I thought I was going to start jumping around the kitchen. Because he was a prime candidate for biggest ******* in the universe. I think I may have asked Lincoln if he'd mind if I'd shave my head. 3.) If he acts like an idiot. I wouldn't be too sure that he was acting. 4.) One of his hobbies is getting **** face drunk from Friday to Sunday. Even worse if instead of passing out he's an obnoxious drunk or a violent drunk because to me that's not just a personnel issue. That would be a social dissorder. 5.) An over abundance of body hair. Hair belongs on your head. Sometimes on your face and I know in other places, but mostly on your head. Once it reaches your back, your nipples or your back and you won't do some manscaping it's all over. I don't do interspecies dating. And if there's too much hair I'd worry that on full moons he'd begin to pillage neighborhoods. 6.) Too uptight. I'm an outgoing person and I don't tend to care about what people think of me or my opinions as long as they respect me. I look for the same from anyone I'm seeing (or was seeing up to a point a few years ago). I'm not into cadavers. Well there you've found I'm very picky and a bit sarcastic. So what do you look for in a guy?[/color]

[color=darkviolet]Bush shows how much of an anti-Trekkie he is by screwing up the Vulcan greeting of 'Live long and prosper.' Yeah, I know that one was bad, but I couldn't resist.[/color]
