Lethargy

[FONT="Verdana"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="Green"]Funniest [B]ATHF[/B] moments? How about all of them? Except for the Rabbot episode (though it did have its moments). Fun fact: [B]ATHF[/B], like all other [B]Adult Swim[/B] shows, is much better when you're high, because it [I]actually makes sense[/I].[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana][quote name='Zen][SIZE=1][COLOR=#4169e1]It is my life nectar and possibly the reason I suffer bouts of [B]lethargy[/B] when I am unable to consume it.[/COLOR'][/SIZE][/quote][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=darkgreen]I heard my name.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [SIZE=1][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=darkgreen]Personally, I do not like the vast majority of energy drinks out there, as they all have the same, disgusting energy drink taste. However, there is one that tastes like sparkling grape juice that I enjoy very much (I forget its name; even though I like it, I don't drink it that often).[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=1][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=darkgreen]I've had a berry energy shot before, and it had a fairly pleasant taste, though the effects [U]weren't any stronger than any other energy drink[/U] (at least for me they weren't).[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [FONT=Verdana][quote name='Raiha][COLOR=#9932cc']That and the caffeine it contains provides a jolt to your system that could be faithfully recreated if you downed half a pound of sugar in five minutes and then followed it up with some Speed.[/COLOR][/quote][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=darkgreen]So I take it you've done speed before?[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[quote]On a very on-topic and very serious note, for those who are players, today is a sad day in gaming. Gary Gygax, the man most responsible for D&D, passed away at his home earlier this morning.[/quote] [FONT="Verdana"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="DarkGreen"]He didn't [I]die[/I]. He just moved on to the [B][U][I]Outer Plane[/I][/U][/B]. [B]HA! ZING! AM I RIGHT? AM I RIGHT??[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[quote=]Garrett is our guitarist and he can play basically anything if you give him some time and like 2 energy drinks. Sad? I dunno... I'd say the one thing holding us back now is that no one can come up with any ideas for songs. Garrett has a lot of riffs, but he's just reluctant to make them evolve into songs.[/quote] [FONT="Verdana"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="DarkGreen"]Sad? [U]Yes[/U]. Forget energy drinks. Your friend Garrett is in dire need of some good ol' fashioned [U][I][B]speed[/B][/I][/U]. [B]Amphetamine[/B], if you will. I know I can completely tear up a drum set when I take 30 mg of extended-release [B]Adderall[/B], and I don't even play drums. As for song writing, when I'm speeding, [I]I can't stop[/I] coming up with ideas for songs. Find yourself a broke friend with ADD. [U]Guaranteed[/U]. Oh, and [B]I do not condone drug use whatsoever, the above text was for entertainment purposes only[/B], blah blah blah, you know the drill. [B]Drugs are [U]bad[/U], kids![/B] But yeah, I'm in an [I]Electro-Punk[/I] band called [B][U]The Doominators[/U][/B]. We haven't recorded anything yet, and we only have a few songs written, but everything is looking hopeful. I actually just created our[B] MySpace[/B] page today, but there's nothing on it yet. We actually haven't been a band for very long. Just barely pushing [B]two[/B] months. It's fun stuff, though.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkGreen]Jeeze Louise! I'm gone for a few weeks and [B]all Hell[/B] breaks loose![/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkGreen] Let me start off by saying that even though I use marijuana occasionally, I really have no opinion on whether or not it should be legalized, as I will still smoke it [U]regardless[/U].[/COLOR][/SIZE] [quote name='Andrew']Stoners get stoned, regardless of the law. Who really cares?[/quote] [SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkGreen] Okay, then. To [B]Gavin[/B]:[/COLOR][/SIZE] [quote name='Gavin']It's a dangerous damn drug[/quote] [quote]it's just a dangerous drug that needs to stay banned for people's own safety.[/quote][quote]a harmful, addictive substance[/quote][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkGreen]You seem to be under the impression that marijuana is [B]cocaine's leafy brother[/B]. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in all my research, I have yet to find a documented case of [B]physical[/B] marijuana addiction, or even [B]serious psychological[/B] addiction. Granted, one can build a tolerance for it (just like with [U]anything[/U] else), and sudden cessation after extensive (and I mean [I]extensive[/I]) regular use may cause some negative side effects (just like with [U]anything[/U] else), but honestly, marijuana, in certain aspects, is far less detrimental to one's health than alcohol or cigarettes (again, that doesn't mean it should be legal).[/COLOR][/SIZE] [quote=]Most of what I've read has come from anti-drugs campaigns, so I'll admit there's a slant on it, the same way there would be if it came from a pro-drugs one.[/quote] [SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkGreen] True. It is practically impossible to find [B]non-biased[/B] information on the subject. It is important to take everything you read and hear with a grain of salt.[/COLOR][/SIZE] [quote]Heh still Holland you crazy Dutch bastard, but that's why we love you [/quote][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkGreen]I can't help but hear this read in a [B]thick Irish accent[/B] (although I'm not sure how heavy your accent is).[/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkGreen][B]Odin M Yggdrasi[/B]:[/COLOR][/SIZE] [quote name='Odin M Yggdrasi']The reason why I am not against alcohol is because while it does have it's effects, people who enjoy it responsibly don't hurt anyone, and actually are believed to see some beneficial effects.[/quote] [quote]Plus like I mentioned in my last post- Alcohol enjoyed responsibly does not hurt people other than possibly the person drinking it. Irresponsible consumption of alcohol, such as drinking and driving or drinking when you know that you are a violent drunk does hurt others though, and I think it should be regulated.[/quote][quote]I would just as soon be rid of both marijuana and tobacco, though alcohol can stay a while longer since drinking resposibly doesn't hurt anyone while smoking tends to cause others to be affected through secondhand smoke.[/quote][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkGreen]I see that every time you mention alcohol use, you use the word "[B]responsibly[/B]." Well, can't you also smoke[I] responsibly[/I]? If you smoke marijuana [I]responsibly[/I], you do not do it around those who do not wish to be a part of it. You also don't go out driving (although stoned folk are much "better" drivers than drunk folk -- again,[B] DO NOT DRIVE UNDER THE INFLUENCE![/B]) high. You also mentioned that there are supposed "benefits" from drinking. Isn't that also true with marijuana use?[/COLOR][/SIZE] [quote]Also, there are known formula after known formula for effective pain relievers. I [B]high[/B]ly doubt that marijuana would actually be more effective then them[/quote][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkGreen]Just thought I'd point out that pun.[/COLOR][/SIZE] [quote]I stand by what I said before, both Marijuana and Tobacco should be illegal globally, and should remain illegal.[/quote][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkGreen][B]Globally[/B]? That's an awfully bold statement.[/COLOR][/SIZE] [quote]People have tried it, and made public what it is like. Also, there are far more negative reports from both people who have used it and researchers who have studied it than positive reports from users and researchers- which makes it safe to assume (without trying it) that it is bad and is not even worth trying.[/quote][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkGreen]Where are these reports you speak of? You know what they say about assumptions... But [B]there is no amount of reading, discussion, and research in the world that could possibly give you insight as to what it is like to be high[/B]. That kind of knowledge only comes from personal experience (AGAIN, kids: do [B]NOT[/B] try this at home). I spent the first eighteen years of my life having [U]never[/U] touched any type of substance. Up until the first time I got high, I was confident that I knew what the experience was going to be like. I had read all about it, talked to all my friends who had done it. I knew what was going to happen to me. [B] Wrong[/B]. Looking back at my pre-pot self, it is [U]painfully[/U] obvious that I was just plain [B]ignorant[/B]. I mean, I had a vague idea of what it would be like, but it wasn't until I experienced it that I knew. That being said: [/COLOR][/SIZE] [quote name='James]Your view that people shouldn't "knock it 'till they try it" has some validity, but having said that, people can still form opinions on a drug based on what they've read...trying it isn't necessarily going to change the [B]objective[/B'] facts[/quote] [SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkGreen] Damn you, [B]James[/B], with your all-knowing glory. Objective being the key word there, I think that if someone hasn't tried marijuana, they really shouldn't be commenting on the[B] subjective[/B] aspects of it (though I don't think much of that has been going on). To [B]Sandy[/B]:[/COLOR][/SIZE] [quote name='Sandy']The13thMan apparently has a successful career as a drug dealer. "Just try it once, you'll like it. It's not as dangerous as they claim..." That's what they all say. ;P[/quote] [SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkGreen] No... "That's what they all say" is what they all say. ;P[/COLOR][/SIZE] [quote]Even if the gate theory wouldn't work in reality, there's always a good chance that the guy who sells you the stuff will start urging you to try some harder drugs. And that's really not the path anyone wants to walk...[/quote][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkGreen]First, I have yet to purchase or even possess marijuana. All the weed that I smoke, I do so with my friends. Where do they get it from? Their other friends. Where do their other friends get it from? Their other friends. Of course, someone has to grow and sell it (and my own friends do, in fact, buy and sell it), but the same people who are dealing weed more than likely are [U]not[/U] dealing hard drugs such as [B]cocaine[/B], [B]heroin[/B], and [B]meth[/B]. You really don't see that at all in the drug communities. People tend to have a very limited and specific "inventory." Therefore, in order to come into contact with a hard drug, you would have to seek out someone who sells hard drugs. There aren't really drug "[B]Wal-Marts[/B]" where you go to get all your drug needs (I'm sure they exist, but not where the average Joe-Schmoe Stoner would come into contact with them) in one stop.[/COLOR][/SIZE] [quote name='Neuvoxraiha']That and it smells like the hind end of a yeast infected cow.[/quote] [SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkGreen][B] Tire factories[/B] smell awful as well, and are probably equally, if not [U]more[/U] harmful. Should they be illegal as well? I don't think olfactory annoyance should be a reason for something to be illegal (I realize that you were just expressing why you are personally against it, and not stating a legal issue, but my point still stands). I know I've only mentioned statements made by those [B]against[/B] marijuana legalization. Rest assured, I will be posting again with comments about those who are for it. I am just really tired (it's 4:42 AM) and need to sleep before class. But believe me, I'm going to need to be [B]fully[/B] rested before I tackle what [B]The13thMan[/B], [B]Retribution[/B], and [B]Allamorph[/B] had to say.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=darkgreen]It seems like I'm a little late to this, but I'd love to contribute any way possible. I don't have any recording gear or software, but I can write some [U]decent[/U] lyrics.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [quote name='Whoa, Mann][SIZE=1][COLOR=#ff69b4]I'm working on an outline for a story... About a captain of a ship that has an obsession with space, and always dreamed of going to the moon. I don't know, anyone want to help me think of more?[/COLOR'][/SIZE][/quote] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=darkgreen]Hee... That sounds fun.

[quote=DB][COLOR=DarkOrange]Well, since it's whine thread I might as well complain. I want to be an Admin. This is not a joke, I want to be one. I would settle for being a moderator as well, but I'd really like to be an Admin. I'm not sure why I have no rank yet on OB. I know the rules well enough, I'm here all the damn time and could police the entire forum with more efficiency than the rest of the mods combined (that's half joke, don't get too offended) not to mention I'm probably the most important member here or something >_> I mean, I fit the credentials right? A big heart for Otakuboards - A duty I feel to protect it - the level of maturity I think is needed (I know a lot of you laughed just now, but I'm serious) and most of all, I'm a total fanboy (I thought it might be important since the other 2 admins are like the only people as fanboy as me on here. If we had a vote, I think I'd be elected >_>[/COLOR][/quote] [SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkGreen]Out of the almost two months I've been here, this is by far the [U]funniest[/U] thing I have read. But back to [I]me[/I]... I don't feel like there's enough [I]me[/I] on the boards. I think there should be more threads dedicated to [I]me[/I]. Better yet, I should have my own forum: [U][B]Lethargy Land[/B][/U]. I'm not going to say what sort of topics will be discussed there, but believe me, they will be [I]glorious[/I].[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[quote name='Jakehammaren]Well, I have one, though I know it ended up becoming mainstream in a sense as it was shown in select theatres across the country at one point. My addition is [B]Pan's Labyrinth[/B']. It was an absolutely beautiful film.[/quote] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=darkgreen]Ah, yes. I didn't have a chance to see it when it came out (I don't see very many newer films... [B]NetFlix[/B] is cheaper than the theater), but since it has made its way onto DVD, I will soon. I haven't really read anything about it, therefore, I can't discuss it, but based on the promotional images, it reminds me of the [B]Last Mimzy[/B] (although I am certain it is nothing like it at all).[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [SIZE=1][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=darkgreen]Oh, and unlike the music thread, the films discussed here don't have to all be obscure and non-mainstream. As long as the discussion is in-depth and with merit, all is fine. None of this, "[B]OMG! t3h EXploSIUNS w3re t3h AW3soMMEzzzz!!!11!!1![/B]," garbage that the other movie threads get. [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=1][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=darkgreen]There are the obvious movies, however, that have no place here at all. I don't need to list them, but if any of these are somehow mentioned, it will be made [U]OBSCENELY clear[/U] that the movie in question is an offender.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]

[quote name='2007DigitalBoy][COLOR=DarkOrange]Premonition... [/COLOR][COLOR=DarkOrange']that song you linked sucked hard ***. [/COLOR][/quote] [SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkGreen]Wow. I never thought I'd actually be saying this, but in this instance, I agree with [B]DB[/B] (sorry, [B]Revolver[/B], but it's true). And [B]Goodbye, Face[/B], I thought that [B]Powers[/B] was a halfway decent, if not good, band. I am fond of bands that frequently change time signatures in their songs (I heard 7/8, 6/4, and, of course, 4/4). [U]However[/U][/COLOR][/SIZE] [quote name='Revolver][COLOR=Olive]So, how about we eliminate radio music? Unless you find somthing [SIZE=4][B][I][U]really[/U][/I][/B][/SIZE'] amazing. So, how about I propose an idea. we post about an artist, and if people agree that said band is great, we mention them in the thread starter? So when people with not-so-pretentious taste come to this thread, they can check out some good artists.[/COLOR][/quote] [quote name='Goodbye, Face][FONT=arial][SIZE=1]It's not even popularity that is the issue. This thread is (or should be) more for music that is too "out there" for a general audience. Genre isn't an issue either...[/SIZE'][/FONT][/quote] [SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkGreen]These are valid and quite good ideas. This thread has slowly been losing its purpose/spirit for a while now with people spending all their time genre nit-picking and bashing bands that we all already agree aren't any good. Why not throw out the bad and only keep the good? My contribution: [B]Sin Ropas[/B] Sin Ropas is a two-piece band from Chicago. [U]Tim Hurley[/U] plays guitar and provides lead vocals, while [U]Danni Iosello[/U] drums and simultaneously plays the harmonium/keys. I had the opportunity to see them live a couple weeks ago. They were providing an improvised soundtrack to several of [URL="http://www.nervousfilms.com"]Brett Green[/URL]'s animated shorts. These mp3's don't do them justice at all. One [B]MUST[/B] see them live in order to gain the full experience. [URL="http://www.sinropas.com/MP3NEW.HTM"]Click[/URL] ([B]Three Cherries[/B] is their better album)[/COLOR][/SIZE]
