[color="#006400"][font="Arial"]I am not sure how I could have forgotten [b]The Magic School Bus[/b]! lol[/font][/color]

[color="#006400"][font="Arial"]Wow, this thread sort of takes me back, lol. I have thought about [b]Gargoyles[/b] in forever, even though I'm pretty sure I still have the movie on VHS somewhere. [b]Pirates of the Dark Water[/b] was awesome. I loved watching all the [b]Johnny Quest[/b] cartoons, even the old ones â?? if anything I liked watching the old ones better, but the New Adventures were great. [b]Rocky and Bullwinkle[/b]. The [b]Wacky Races[/b] cartoons were always fun to watch. When I was [i]really[/i] young I used to watch [b]Muppet Babies[/b] a lot, lol. [b]Ren & Stimpy Beavis & Butthead Futurama Venture Bros.[/b] I really don't watch much of any TV anymore to know what the cartoon world is like now, but those were some of my favorites. Oh and any cartoon featuring [b]Marvin the Martian[/b]. He was always a favorite of mine, lol.[/font][/color]

Someone with a lot of siblings could also very easily act this way -- I highly doubt it's restricted to a single-child household. I'm also an only child -- with Asperger's Syndrome, no less -- and have never acted the way your friend does [although I can get kinda loud without meaning to]. In fact, I'm the polar opposite -- I'm [i]painfully[/i] shy, I mean, it [i]could[/i] be a factor, but it might not be. I just don't want you going around going "ONLY CHILDREN ARE SO WEIRD AND AGGRAVATING", 'cause that's just an unfair stereotype, y'know? [then again, pretty much all stereotypes are unfair. You get what I mean, though].[/font][/color][/quote] [color="#006400"][font="Arial"]Honestly, I don't understand where the whole "Does being the only child in the family might actually cause her to act that way?" even came from in his original post. There was no mention of anything in the post that would even make that question a relevant follow-up. Just sounds like the OP is over-rationalizing the situation. It's possible that this friend might have some social ineptitude, but to think that comes from having no siblings seems a bit shallow. I could come up with other possible influences, but being that it's purely speculation I'll hold my tongue. You either want to continue being friends with this person, or you don't. If you do, you should probably do it in a format sort of like an intervention, lol. Keep it private so she doesn't feel like she's being exposed (as in, not in a public area), and keep it personal. And by "keep it personal," I mean listen to White when he said don't use pronouns like "we" and "us" (and that goes for everyone in your circle of friends). And each of you should explain your feelings one at a time (again, so she doesn't feel like she's being ganged up on). Let her know how her behavior affects [i]you[/i]. Don't be mean or angry about it, just make it clear that it causes you a lot of stress. I can't really speak from any experience in these sort of matters, but that's just my thoughts for what it's worth.[/font][/color]

[color="#006400"][font="Arial"]While I can understand your frustration with having such boisterous friend, you know you did something wrong somewhere when you piss off CaNz.[/font][/color]

[color="#006400"][font="Arial"]Some of my fondest memories are from AIM chatrooms with OB members, lol. Particularly January 6, 2002. >_> Back then they were definitely sort of an 'extension' of the forums. A lot of running jokes would come up, and you'd be left on the outside of them if you weren't there. :P I don't know about this newfangled theO chatroom, and if theO and OB are indeed entirely separate entities (I don't even know what theO is anymore, looks nothing like it used to, lol), it leaves me hesitant to even think about seeing what's up ... on top of the fact that I really don't know most of anyone here anymore, lol.[/font][/color]

[color="#006400"][font="Arial"]So, thanks to StumbleUpon, I came across an interesting gem: [url=http://m.gawker.com/5614579/how-to-make-justin-bieber-sound-incredible-slow-him-down-800-percent]How to Make Justin Bieber Sound Incredible: Slow Him Down 800 Percent[/url] I only know this kid by name, and not by his music as I'm sure it's not hard to guess what it sounds like, but this was pretty incredible. Making the track run eight times slower suddenly turns the song from your average pop phenomenon and turns it into this grand, ambient, psychedelic score of awesomeness. Even though it becomes 35 minutes long, I could easily sit here and just zone out to it. It would be awesome to see more things turn up like this, lol. 'Chipmunk'ing songs was never cool. This, however, is a horse of a different color.[/font][/color]

[quote name='Justin' date='19 August 2010 - 05:57 PM' timestamp='1282258637' post='699624'] Yes, but oh, how sweet the comedy would be. All we'd need then is a couple Jenna's and a few Seph's and maybe a sprinkle or two of Transtic's and we'd a real, old-time OB cake. Which sounds a bit dirty, taken out of context. -Justin [/quote] [color="#006400"][font="Arial"]Cakes were never dirty. Muffins on the other hand ...[/font][/color]

[color="#006400"][font="Georgia"]I have honestly never played Final Fantasy or DoA or any game any of those characters might be related to, but those fight sequences were outstanding (albeit significantly less so when the male talent showed up ;P).

[color="#006400"][font="Georgia"]Totally just skimmed through this topic to see if I was mentioned and to read nostalgic entries (but mostly to see if I was mentioned, haha). Getting a name-drop on the first page was pretty awesome, I won't lie. And thank you SPX for finding Tori's old OB Member Pics website, had to re-save some things I ... lost ... Wish I could have actually seen this project when it was live.[/font][/color]

[color="#006400"][font="Arial"]I don't know anything about the comics, but doubt that Cera can do anything awesome. The general plot of the movie seems kind of iffy to begin with, and Michael Cera just exacerbates that problem for me, lol. Regardless, I'll probably end up watching it out of boredom ... only problem is I lack the booze to allow me to tolerate Cera ... [/font][/color]

[quote name='CaNz' date='11 August 2010 - 05:25 PM' timestamp='1281565533' post='699261'] so you guys are saying you wouldnt date anyone senior year because they may not go to your college? psssh! there isn anything wrong with dating, and if it turns out that it never gets that serious.... so what? just dont regret not trying later on. Everyone told you from the start it was going to be difficult, dating usually is. and 95% of the time its pointless... but you do it anyways.

So yeah, I'm convinced it would stay spinning, too.

[quote name='eleanor' date='28 July 2010 - 05:00 PM' timestamp='1280354434' post='698140'] tl;dr: an Arizona federal judge blocked sections of the new immigration law, namely the part that required police officers to check the immigration status of people caught for breaking other unrelated laws. Delayed sections include: requiring all immigrants to carry papers at all time, making it illegal for undocumented workers to look for jobs in public, and a section that would allow police to make warantless arrests of suspected illegal immigrants.[/quote] [color="#A0522D"][font="Arial"]I've been following this topic, but never really took the time to read the first post, lol ... So am I to understand that they're making it [i]easier[/i] for illegal immigrants to be illegal immigrants? Or trying to, anyway? Just not clear about what "blocking" or "delaying" actually means in legal terms, lol.[/font][/color]
