I don't even remember the canes anymore. Shows how much I know, heh.

I was wondering why the guy playing him in some skit (maybe it was SNL, not sure) had such a weird haircut. Now I know. Let's ignore the thousands of others that were there with him though.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Charles [/i] [B]:rolleyes: [/B][/QUOTE] That's convenient considering how massive yours is lol :p In any case, I don't know what more can really be said in this topic as it is. People just want to have a pissing contest over who is right. No one is right. There is no rule stating how long a signature should be. It's all opinion and all you can really do is ask those you feel are causing a problem to fix it. While I personally think it's not much to ask that someone shorten a large sig, perhaps they don't see what the big deal is about scrolling past it. Either way, I can't see something being so important that it should fill an entire 1024x768 screen. That's how big a lot of these are. In any case, I am turning off sigs for awhile. Maybe it'll make it easier to read the posts, which actually matter. Plus maybe it's just me, but I don't know why people should use AIM conversations as threats. Some of the chats I've seen in people's signatures are there simply to make that person feel bad in some way. Would everyone I talk to like me to put what they tell me about others here in my sig? Come on. This place is for people's enjoyment. Not petty arguments against people you'll never meet in your life as it is. I try to be as nice as humanly possible despite the fact that so many people annoy the **** out of me here sometimes. I'm sure that some feel the same about me even. That's the world, but it doesn't mean I have to be fighting against them all the time and holding their weaknesses out there for all to see. God forbid kids act like kids and teens act like teens. I feel like I'm stuck inbetween this mess of an attempt at a fight that never should have started in the first place. That's a whole other story though, and I probably just did what Charles and Babygirl didn't want... so I apologize. I guess it all does relate to sigs though and I'm hardly one to get worked up over things... but it is all rather nerve racking.

I don't know why anyone even cares. Many other people have done such a thing... probably some celebrities that actually deserve some notoriety too. I guess he needed a break from remaking other people's songs. It's pretty stressing I'd imagine.

I can tell you right out that he is insane.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Charles [/i] [B] But, when you resort to [spoiler]blasting a hole through a portrait of Mother Teresa's face with a shotgun as a gag--you're going in the complete opposite direction.[/spoiler][/B][/QUOTE] That really bothered me on a few levels. I don't know how anyone could possibly laugh at that, and I really don't know what they were thinking when they put it in there. All the implications with the priest were a bit much too, I think.

Extremely simple question... I've not played in years and I still remember it, so you should have no problem at all. Obviously you should have bombs at this point. Go to Lake Hylia (on the bottom right part of the map) and walk around to its eastern shoreline. You'll see a cave, but a little past that is a weak, cracked wall. Bomb it and go inside to get the Ice Rod.

This can become a really great thread... especially if people post songs that actually mean something to them. They do this at GAF every so often, but it's just copy and paste crap... no real discussion. I hope that stops in this thread because I already have a vested interest in it. David Bowie - Conversation Piece I took this walk to ease my mind To find out what's gnawing at me Wouldn't think to look at me That I've spent a lot of time in education It all seems so long ago I'm a thinker, not a talker I've noone to talk to anyway I can't see the road For the rain in my eyes I live above the grocer's store, Owned by an Austrian He often calls me down to eat And he jokes about his broken English Tries to be a friend to me But for all my years of reading conversation I stand without a word to say I can't see the bridge For the rain in my eyes And the world is full of life Full of folk who don't know me And they walk in twos or threes or more While the light that shines above the grocer's store Investigates my face so rudely And my essays lying scattered on the floor Fulfill their needs just by being there And my hands shake My head hurts my voice sticks inside my throat I'm invisible and dumb And no one will recall me And I can't see the water Through the tears in my eyes ----------------------------------- I don't know what anyone else gets out of this song. I really don't know how much it can really convey via the lyrics alone, but as a song... It's incredible. Very deep, very sad, very beautiful. One of my favorite things about Bowie is how almost every one of his songs tells a story of sorts. He's never just saying things to say them or because they sound good. I always just figured this song was more or less about a loner. A person who keeps to himself, doesn't let anyone be his real friend, doesn't engage in any real interaction with anyone. After all this time I think it's having his toll on him and he is wasting away in a sense. If anyone else has any thoughts on it, that'd be nice.

A lot of theaters seem to do that for only certain types of movies. It's not so much the violence as it is the way in which it is done. TCM is very heartless in its approach, and I find that they ask for ID far more often for those sorts of movies. In fact, they required an ID for each person to even buy a ticket at the theater I was at.

Could be much, much worse... Made even more hilarious by her miniscule post lol [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=510650[/img] But on a pretty well controlled forum like OB, some of these are exceptionally large. Like I said, I've PMed people in the past, but if they do nothing about it there isn't much I can do other than complain to Charles or James.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by AzureWolf [/i] [B]Awesome, we are on the same page. Thanks for the clarification. Anyway, this point goes to another point of discussion. Yes, marriage has become very superficial, IMO. I think that the origins had some sacred validity to them, but over centuries, that meaning was lost, and that only the act of marriage has lasted. [/B][/QUOTE] That's part of the reason I'm not really interested in marriage at this point. Needless to say my girlfriend isn't exactly fond of my ideas on the subject heh.

I can only repsond to what you've written. I don't know you well enough to know how far you take some of your idea, because obviously some people would take them that far. I don't think anyone in here that has had sex in there lifetime has given any implication that the act itself it is required for a real, loving relationship to last. It's an aspect of the relationship, not the focal point. I certainly don't think that way, yet I've not waited for marriage either. It's something that is a result of one's love for another person, and personally, I don't need marriage to define that love for me. There's a big difference between that and the idea that I could be running around screwing every girl that would let me lol. Of course, that's another category altogether.

This is where you've gone off on a tangent that I cannot agree with. To me, marriage is archaic and a waste of money. It only means so much because people want it to. To me, there are other ways to show your love and commitment for eachother. Doesn't mean I won't get married, I just don't think it's the end-all-be-all of existance. I don't measure the strength of my love to a woman by an old traditon. That is another story. However, even for me -- someone who doesn't really care for marriage, this money idea doesn't float ... That truly seems selfish and just right out strange to me. So if I love this person and can't afford to get married because of financial reasons, I shouldn't have sex with them? How does this even make sense? I understand being against pre-marital sex, but this, to me, is equating love with financial stability, which just doesn't work. Love doesn't base itself on such trivial and superficial things, so why should I be tied down by it? People go through hardships. Some people will never be able to afford a nice wedding. That doesn't mean they can't support themselves or eachother in general, but weddings are incredibly expensive... and I doubt most people want to run off to Las Vegas and spend $50 away from their family. That means that is it? That means their love isn't strong enough to show it in a physical way? How is that a better alternative? I also think people using the word "personal" before wasn't being used in the sense of... "I'm me, I can do what I want." If they love that person, something personal includes that person. It's keeping them in mind and is not purely selfish.

I don't know what movie you guys saw. I've not seen Scary Movie, but I have seen 2. 3 kills that movie in every way possible. The biggest reason is that it is actually funny at times. Parody movies rarely have great storylines that make sense. The "story" is usually just a vehicle to get as many jokes out as possible within the length of a movie. I don't know why people would expect anything else. It not being Rated R didn't really make much of a difference anyway. Maybe it's just me, but I'm tired of comedies that rely on gross humor for everything. Penises everywhere, people having sex constantly, who knows what else. If the Wayans worked on this one, there'd probably be bukkake. I think that's stupid and has ran its course. I was happy to see this relied on this very little (other than implied things and busty girls, there wasn't really any of it.) And of course, many jokes will fall flat on their face. You're running that risk with this sort of movie. Some things just won't appeal to everyone and some things are just bad. For example, I thought that whole Queen Latifah scene was [i]terrible[/i]. I didn't find it remotely funny and I thought it went on way too long. That was my main problem with some of it. Things that were funny had the humor dragged out of them because they really just didn't know where to stop. Other sections of the movie were great, while others weren't funny at all. In any case, it's not the most amazing thing ever... but I hardly feel like I wasted my money.

One day a year you get to dress up as anything and go up to peoples' houses for candy. I don't see what's wrong with that. Sounds more like people are worried that others will make fun of them more than they think it is an actual problem. Free candy is rarely bad... unless it's candy corn. I hate that crap. Around the colleges here tons of people dress up and mess around. Many people in the teenage bracket are too concerned with their coolness factor, I guess. Who cares, have fun.

Punkrockprinces... that post isn't really something that will go over well here at OB. I have to ask that you improve your post quality and say something a bit more relevent. Otherwise I'm sure your stay here will be rather short. [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Radaghast [/i] [B]Maybe I've lost my faith that MTV would play rock or alternative during the day a long, long time ago. [/B][/QUOTE] That's what MTV2 is for, if you get it lol. I remember during the MTV Music Video Awards, MTV2 was playing all sorts of indie stuff. It was rather surprising. Anyway, I have yet to listen to this... although I mean to pick it up. Might as well tomorrow, if I get the chance.

The basic idea was always that the Church doesn't condone premarital sex anyway... so the idea of someone using birth control doesn't change that. If the person is married and is still using those things, they're more or less going against the "plan". Sex is for procreation, basically, as you just said. Without reading all the posts in here (there simply are too many at this point), I am not against it. Personally, I've had sex countless times. With the first girl it was just a screwed up relationship and I regret it.... but the other two were another story. The first I was totally in love with and the second I am currently with and feel even more strongly for. Marriage would never change this for me. It felt right so we did it. What other people do is not my concern. I don't look down on anyone over it... although promiscuity is obviously not a desirable trait. If someone is able to hold out until marriage I totally respect that and think they're strong as hell. I certainly didn't have the guts for it.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Molleta [/i] [B][color=green]The answer to sweetreyes' question is Lawrence Fishburn (sp) He was the singing cowboy. Have we all been watching a little too much I Love the 80's on VH1?[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] I wonder how many people are like me and know that simply because they watched the show religiously. I don't need a stupid documentary show to help me out with that heh. Pee-wee's Big Adventure is the best movie ever made in my opinion. HC: I think it's Ratt, with two T's lol. I can't even think of what they did anymore.

I think she is totally pointless. She's a Peach clone with slightly different features. I personally would rather have a totally different character, but that's me. [spoiler]I think Toad's special item is a golden mushroom.[/spoiler]

We've talked about it in the past. I've brought it up in here before. It basically came down to the idea that mods should PM people who have generally excessively long sigs and ask them to trim it down. I've done it plenty of times in the past. I don't think anything more than a few inches is needed. Some people's require me to scroll down the equivalent of page length is ridiculous. I realize we can turn off signatures, but I really would rather not do that. I don't mind sigs, I like reading them sometimes and seeing banners and such... but people need to realize that there is a line with this stuff. After that line, I think you're just inconveniencing people. You really don't need a buddy list with each member on a new line or 5 goofy AIM conversations.

Nintendo always drives me nuts with those dates. They always give companies the Monday as the date of release. It's also the date they advertise as the release date. However, it is really their shipping date... and 95% of the country's stores won't even get the game until Tuesday as it is. Happened to me with ED, SMS, MP, SSB:M and Pikmin when they all first came out. I just stick with Tuesdays now lol

It's not really your fault or anyone's. I think everyone just gets excited and says stuff without thinking about it. Really, who doesn't want to know? lol I was more bothered by the fact that someone posted a picture of the two newest secret characters at GAF the night before... there is no way to avoid looking at a screenshot. I was voicing my general frustration heh. [spoiler]I am very, very happy that Toad is in the game though. I'm a little annoyed by Toadette though. I don't even get the point of Daisy in these games... so I figure Peach and Toad would be a good combo and that would open it up for two new characters. Whatever happened to the Koopa Kids? Magikoopa? There are quite a few possibilities. Oh well.[/spoiler]

I was born in San Diego, California. We weren't there that long, really. My parents moved back to Chicago, which was where they were from in the first place. I've been here ever since. Nothing exciting.

It is rather annoying that nothing can be kept surprising anymore. Secret characters and such aren't something I feel I should find out about just by reading someone's basic posts. I had the same problem at Gaming-Age. Now I know basically everything there is to unlock, what's the fun in that? There are spoiler tags for a reason. Personally, I didn't want to know 4 secret characters 3 weeks before I could even get the game. Bleh.

Your source is most likely insane then lol. Geist has pretty much always been set to sometime in 2004 to my knowledge. If a rather high profile game like this (mostly because of Nintendo's involvment) was coming this Holiday season [b]everyone[/b] would know about it. There hasn't even been any news on it since E3.
