[SIZE="1"]“[B]I keep telling you, it's EK-ANS![/B]” “[B]And I keep telling you, you're completely wrong! It's pronounced E-CANS[/B]!” [B]“No. No, no, no, NO! It is Ek-ans. You know, like you're neck, which I'm about to wring if you don't stop acting like an idiot.[/B]” “[B]I'm the one acting like an idiot? You don't know proper grammar and here you are calling me an idiot?[/B]” [COLOR="Red"]Haru sighed as the debate continued. He honestly didn't know why it mattered how Ekans was pronounced, but apparently these two gentlemen found the subject to be of the utmost importance. After all, it wasn't like there was a war going on or anything. Venusaur was also slowly growing annoyed by the pair's constant bickering, and it showed. Haru was almost certain he saw a vein appearing on Venusaur's forehead, and occasionally he would let out small growls. [/COLOR] “[B]Dammit, it's E-cans![/B]” “[B]...you know what? I'm done with this. We're obviously getting nowhere here.[/B]” “[B]HA! I win. You know I'm right, so you're backing off![/B]” “[B]No, I'm backing off because you're being an annoying bastard[/B]!” “[B]You mad?[/B]” [COLOR="Red"]Venusaur growled yet again and picked up a nearby stone with one of it's vines. He started to raise it and was just about to chuck it at the two, but Haru quickly grabbed the vine to prevent him from doing so.[/COLOR] “[COLOR="Red"]Don't bother. Trust me, I want to wring their necks as much as you do, but we can't get into any trouble.[/COLOR]” “[B]It's E-CANS AND YOU KNOW I'M RIGHT![/B]” “[B]Have you seen the spelling? It's Ek-ans, just like it says.[/B]” “[B]You obviously can't read. It's E-cans- even a schoolboy could tell you that much.[/B]” [COLOR="Red"]The other man rolled his eyes.[/COLOR] “[B]Okay, now you're just being annoying. I'm done.[/B]” “[B]You want to settle this right now? Alright then,[/B]”[COLOR="Red"] said the other. He then turned to Haru and Venusaur.[/COLOR] “[B]What do you think? Is it E-cans, or Ek-ans? I'm right aren't I?[/B]” [COLOR="Red"]Venusaur made some sort of sound that seemed to be a combination of a sigh and a moan. Haru looked from Venusaur to the two men. “Well, I, uh...don't...really...” [/COLOR] “[B]GUYS, BIG NEWS![/B]” [COLOR="Red"]All three men turned towards another who was running towards them. He looked panicked, his face pale and his eyes wide. He stumbled and nearly collapsed as he came to a stop, causing Venusaur to let out a quite audible laugh and provoking a quick smack on the head from Haru.[/COLOR] [B]“Easy there, man![/B]” [COLOR="Red"]said the E-cans man,[/COLOR] “[B]What's got your britches in a knot?[/B]” [COLOR="Red"]The man inhaled deeply several times, attempting to catch his breath. After stammering a few times, he finally managed to stand up straight and talk clearly, though still panting.[/COLOR] “[B]Ecruteak...it...it's under attack![/B]” [COLOR="Red"]The two men gasped, Haru's eyes widening.[/COLOR] “[B]Under attack? You mean, by the League?[/B]” [COLOR="Red"]asked the other man.[/COLOR] “[B]No, by a breakdancing Snorlax. Who the hell else?![/B]” [COLOR="Red"]“[B]Where did you hear this?[/B]” Haru asked.[/COLOR] [B]“Claire sent a message,[/B]” [COLOR="Red"]the man replied, now breathing properly.[/COLOR] “[B]They're just trying to get the citizens safely evacuated, but the city is most likely lost[/B].” [COLOR="Red"]Haru was now highly concerned. Ecruteak was soon to be under the League's control, and at the cost of God knows how many lives. It also concerned him that it was so close to Goldenrod, the place he had been born and raised during his early childhood. It was now surrounded by the League, and although Goldenrod was currently neutral, he had a feeling that it wouldn't take the League long to seize it by force if they had to. He was concerned for his old acquaintances there and hoped they would be alright. Haru also got an urge to go to Goldenrod in order to help protect his former home, but knew his place was here. [/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]At least, for the moment.[/COLOR] “[B]What are you idiots doing?![/B]”[COLOR="Red"] came a voice from deeper in the cave, making all four men jump in surprise,[/COLOR] “[B]Break ended five minutes ago! Get back to work![/B]” [COLOR="Red"]The man who had brought them the somber news instantly took off into the cave. The other men paused to gather their equipment. [/COLOR] “[B]...I still say it's E-cans.[/B]” “[B]This again? I keep telling you-[/B]” [COLOR="Red"]Venusaur growled and looked at Haru, his expression easily giving away his thoughts at that moment-[I] Can I kill them yet?[/I] Haru chuckled. “[B]Come on, Venusaur. Let's go see how Graveler's doing- he most be tired after taking over for us this long.[/B]” [/COLOR] “[B]Wait, we never got an answer from that kid. Hey, what's your opinion on this?[/B]” [COLOR="Red"]“[B]Run.[/B]” Haru said to his partner, and both instantly took off, the other two men quickly taking off after him.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR="Red"]O LAWL @ my banner. [strike]Although it is true.[/strike] Anyway, thanks, and congrats to all the other winners![/COLOR]

I'm surprised no one has posted [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FIz0ts3ep8"][B]this[/B][/URL] yet. Anyway. I honestly don't care what it's called JUST GIVE ME A DRINK DAGFLABBIT.

When I was in second grade, I moved to a different school. It didn't take me long to get to know the people there and figure out who was who. But, one day on the way to lunch, some kid started randomly making fun of me, to which I loudly responded with by telling him in various ways I didn't appreciate what he was doing. The teacher eventually old me to go to the back of the line, which I refused to do- after all, why should I be punished? The other kid was making fun of me, HE should be the one going to the back. Finally, a woman comes up to me and tells me to do as my teacher said NOW. Now, I had only been at the school for two weeks, but I was sure that I had figured out who everyone was by this point. So, I thought this woman was some random person, maybe a parent. Not my mom, not my teacher, and therefore, she had no authority over me. So, I simply told her to shut up and that she wasn't my boss. The woman turned out to be the principal. Needless to say this did not go over well at all with the principal. Or my mom, for that matter.

Yeah, the spoiler in question happens in the next episode. [spoiler]and oh, how I enjoyed seeing Tucker get his unlike in the original anime B) Brains being blown out by Scar is a much better punishment than just being turned into a chimera and being allowed to live. He didn't 'suffer', he just went about being the insane nut job he is.[/spoiler] ... So...Marta = Lust? .... *head implodes*

[quote name='Gavin'][CENTER][SIZE=1] [SIZE=1] Funnily enough I've never got around to watching the original series, something I may have to remedy. Anyway anyone else watching Unicorn ? [/SIZE][/QUOTE] Now would be a good time to do that. Sunrise is officially streaming the original series for a limited time (until April 22nd on CrunchyRoll and ANN and until March 25th on Youtube) along with a few other Gundam series. Despite the corny opening/sometimes laughable dub, it's pretty good. Anyway, I've considered watching Unicorn, but I want to get through these other Gundam series I've been meaning to watch first.

...Uhhh.... The first game I can clearly recall was Super Mario World (which I still have, along with a working SNES 8D). I know this wasn't the first game I played, because I played several with my uncle/cousin, but that's the first one I can really remember beyond being "some game where you had to do this and that", and I barely even remember that much about them.

.... *opens mouth* *closes it* ..... wut. Just wut. o-o It amuses me that while they were arresting her, they could have used that time to be arresting someone down the street who was spray-painting on a wall.

Jurassic Park for the SNES. I played that game way back when I was 8, and to this day I still jump at the slightest sound. Freaking velociraptors.

.... 8O 8DDDDDDD YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ....although I don't have cable/satellite, so I guess I'll be waiting for the DVD releases and keep watching it online >_>

-Super Nintendo -Gameboy Color -Gameboy Advance -Playstation 2 -XBOX -original DS (although it's literally falling apart so I don't use it for much other than transferring Pokemon from one game to another) -DS Lite -Playstation 3 ...and I'm pretty sure I have an Atari laying around somewhere. And I guess my computer counts although I don't use it much- it fails at playing most games anyway >_>

[quote name='Sangome'][FONT="Microsoft Sans Serif"][SIZE="1"]Sit at home and thank God that Valentines Day falls on a Sunday this year. Also, I read "Ferris Wheel Day" as "Ferris Beuller Day", and was highly disappointed when I realized I misread it. :( [/SIZE][/FONT][/QUOTE] This. Yes, even the Ferris Beuller Day part >_> Although this means that Valentine's Day will basically happen on Friday at my school. Which really annoys me. People blocking the halls...people running around the school with annoying talking balloons and making them go off every five seconds to make then even more annoying....people making even bigger idiots of themselves then they usually do... Oh wait that's a normal day here. Never mind.

I've been thinking of reading [B]The Dark Elf Trilogy[/B] by R.A. Salvatore for awhile now, but haven't managed to get a hold of them as of yet (every where I go, they either have the second and third book, or they have the boxset but I don't have the money to get it at the time .-.) But I found a book related to it in a stack of books I got for Christmas and only just started really going through- the first book of the [B]Transitions Trilogy- The Orc King[/B], which is related to The Dark Elf Trilogy. I'm actually enjoying it so far, something I haven't been able to do with a fantasy book in a long time. I've also been attempting to read [B]Necroscope[/B], the first book in a horror series of the same name by Brain Lumley. Problem is, it starts out extremely slow and I have no idea if I'll be able to keep reading it any longer. I'm TRYING to keep going though, since the main character hasn't even been introduced yet, so I can't make any real judgments until then.

I'm still obsessed with [B]Fallout 3[/B]. I don't know what it is, but I just can't get enough of that game x_x That, and I've been trying to finally beat [B]Pokemon Platinum[/B] and [B]Final Fantasy III[/B] for the past few weeks (my DS needs moar love, seriously I usually only play it for a total of one hour per day, on both the bus ride to school and the ride home.). And I've been replaying [B]Final Fantasy VII[/B] and [B]Dragon Quest V[/B] 8D Oh, and I'll hopefully be getting my hands on a shiny new copy of [B]Final Fantasy IX[/B] and [B]FullMetal Alchemist 2: Curse of the Crimson Elixir[/B] in the next few days.

I hope this isn't too late @_@ What is it? [B]Movie Sign[/B] Why is it nifty? [B]Because this is the one chat event that has withstood the test of time and lasted for over a year, with no sign (lolpun) of slowing down any time soon.[/B] What is it? [B]Desbreko's screencaps[/B] Why is it nifty?

[quote name='Shinmaru']Naruto should team up with Donald and Goofy to beat the **** out of Sasuke. I would watch that. I'd vomit profusely afterward, but I'd watch it ...[/QUOTE] [FONT="Comic Sans MS"][COLOR="Red"]Naruto in Kingdom Hearts wut? Anyway. Yeah, if Disney does do a bit of editing, you can find the subbed version all over the internet. And there are a few legal ways to obtain the uncut English episodes already- like, iTunes, or, leGASP, BUYING THE DVD(volume 2 on sell later this month, I think).[/COLOR][/FONT]

[quote name='Ace'][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Mega bump. You know, after marathonning this series over the past few days, I've begun to loathe the word "Nakama."[/spoiler][/FONT][/QUOTE] [FONT="Comic Sans MS"][COLOR="Red"]You obviously haven't read "Monster Hunter Orage", another manga by Hiro Mashima. Nakama is used soooo many times, it's not even funny >_> Although Orage is only about 14 chapters long, so you don't have to deal with it long. From what I've read about Fairy Tail, the two are very similar- I wonder if they take place in the same universe... Anyway. I've been meaning to read this for awhile now, but with the anime coming out soon, I think I'll wait. Although considering that the Rave Master anime only went through a third of the manga...I dunno >_>[/COLOR][/FONT]

[COLOR="Red"][B]Rave Master.[/B] The anime just doesn't do the manga justice- for one thing, it only goes through the first twelve volumes of the 35 volume long manga, which is barely even scratching the surface of the plot. [B]Tsubasa.[/B] From what little I saw of it, it goes along great, then around episode 8 I think, it goes in a completely different direction.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Red"][FONT="Times New Roman"][I]I swear...does he EVER plan on waking up? [/I] Venusaur turned around slowly and looked at a nearby tree. There, on a low branch, lay his partner, Haru, fast asleep. Venusaur slowly made his way over to the tree. [I]I am NOT doing his job again today,[/I] he thought as he extended two thick vines from the plant on it's back towards Haru. At first, he gently poked the boy, but to no avail- Haru continued snoring despite all the prodding. Venusaur sighed. [I]Have it your way, then...[/I] he thought. He then began to beat Haru with the vines, each one coming down with a swift CRACK, as if they were whips. It only took one blow to awaken Haru, but the vine's kept coming afterwards. "OW, OW, OW! H-hey, Venusaur, cut it out- STOP IT, DAMMIT!" Venusaur let out what was supposed to be a chuckle from the back of it's throat, sounding more like a cough as Haru jumped down from the tree. Haru wiped the blood from the cut that had appeared on his right cheek, glaring at his partner. "Think that was funny, do you? Well, just you wait, I'll-" "Uh...Mr. Corbel?" Haru turned around as he heard someone call his name. He saw a man that looked to be not much older than Haru, if not the same age, a somewhat confused look on his face. Haru dismissed the expression, thinking that he must be a new recruit- Haru was completely unaware that the man had just witnessed Venusaur's 'wake-up call' for Haru. "Uh...Haru, please," Haru said with a shudder, "Mr. Corbel just doesn't sit well with me, formality or not." "R-right...anyway, I have orders for you from Flint. They've found a few places in the wall of Mt. Moon that can be broken through to make openings into the caves. You are to join and aid the second crew in creating these openings. That is all" Haru nodded as the man turned and walked away. "I wonder what was up with him...he seemed a bit...freaked out." [I]It's not every day you see a Pokémon beat their Trainers to get them to wake up,[/I] Venusaur thought. Haru frowned as a grin grew across Venusaur's face. "Yeah, just keep laughing. One of these days, I'll get you back for that." [I]Yeah, right...besides, I wouldn't have to do that if you weren't sleeping on the job.[/I] Venusaur thought. "Anyway...we better get moving. Let's go Venusaur." Venusaur nodded and followed his Trainer as he began to walk towards Mt. Moon.[/FONT][/COLOR]

.....what? Just...what? ....I could go on about the dumpster thing, but I wont. As for the selling your dad's car for $50(O_o) of CRACK...they must have been pretty desperate to get high o_O

[COLOR="Red"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"][B]Name:[/B] Haru Corbel [B]Age:[/B] 18 [B]Gender:[/B] Male [B]Appearance:[/B] Stands at about 5'10, has eye-length straight blond hair, and has light blue eyes. He usually wears dark clothing, typically a T-shirt(which is usually covered by a black vest) and blue jeans. [B]Allegiance:[/B] Protester [B]Status:[/B] Freelancer under Flint [B]Bio:[/B] Haru and his family moved from Goldenrod City to Viridian City about ten years ago. Haru began his League challenge when he turned 15. However, although he managed to defeat all eight Gym Leaders, he was easily bested by the Elite Four. Haru then decided to devote his time to training, going back and forth between the Kanto and Johto regions for about six months. Eventually, he decided it was time to take on the Elite Four again, after a year's worth of training, but it was around this time that the Champion disappeared and the League began to take over. Haru went home for about a month, then set out to go against the League- he could not stand for what they were doing. His new journey did not take him far though- as soon as he arrived in Pewter City, he was approached by Flint. Flint had been quite impressed by Haru's skills and saw that he had much potential they first met, and thus, seeing him as a valuable assets, immediately recruited Haru as a Protester. [B]Personality:[/B] Haru is usually quite friendly and easygoing. However, he knows when to be serious, and can quickly switch gears when the situation calls for it. It is also next to impossible for Haru to lie. [B]Primary Pokémon:[/B] Venusaur(starter), Pidgeot, Houndour, Graveler [/FONT][/COLOR]

If I ever did that to my mom, one of two things would happen. 1. I would be dead 2. I would be the one with the taco in my face, though from what I understand of the article the kid had been doing crap like that for awhile, and lets just say it never would have happened again >.> Seriously, the mom should have taco'd the kid instead. The first time he pulled something like that, not wait until he pulled that. Parents these days... Edit: On second though, I would be both taco'd AND killed @_@

blah....ignore this- posted in Watercooler instead.
