The Un-Intelligent Discussion

[kai]

Ok, so this used to be a roleplaying discussion but the title allows a more open subject. like how cool this dancing banana is :banana: . . . . look at him go. how could you hate a dancing banana? it is cute and lovable and tastey. however he seems lonely so . .. . . .

:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

[Lance Alvein]

The bananas are attempting to take over Kai's brain... it may be too late already.

[Locke Cole]

Alas, another thread for us to drain our brain away in. I feel like singing along to banana phone.. :music:

[Zedie9]

:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:
:D I like the banana - but in much smaller quantities. ;)

[kai]

it was a very very short infatuation i had for the banana that cause me to over post it. now i get my daily banana dosage from my avatar. :D

[Kilu]

I think the bannanas would be funnier if they were half way peeled.

[Zedie9]

:D Just don't halfway peel Megaman. ;)

[Giea]

I....don't... like Bannanas!

a dancing badger . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :wall:

hmmm . . . . . . there are sooo many dancing animals/fruits/persons it is hard to decide who is the best, however i have a little idea for this thread . . . : :hijack: (yes i have hijacked my own thread . . . . . . :confused:)



Ambergris Disco Dancing (ok so the name needs work but i am tired and it is the idea not the name that matters)

create/steal/post/etc... you fav dancing icons, sprites, characters, what have you in the unintelligent discussion and have your work rated by other members. sure a new thread could be created for this but it would only die in a matter of days/weeks anyways.

:D Hey - could someone make this flash into an mp3 for me? I actually like the song. :shades:

[TrueSephiroth]

Badgers and penutbutter jelly time COOL!

*sings tune of both songs over and over and over*:evillaugh:

[silverDistortioN]

:D Hey - could someone make this flash into an mp3 for me? I actually like the song. :shades:i've been searching kazaa (dietk =P) since around when it first came out, but i haven't seen anything... you can record it yourself using the windows sound recorder thing, tho. =)

[Kilu]

Yup. I guess your best bet to get it as good quality as you can, is to mail directly to the person who does those falshes. Maybe he is nice and provides.

I might add that I always laugh when people say Kazza instead of Kazaa. For some reason I think it sums up the majority of Kazaa users.

[Zedie9]

you can record it yourself using the windows sound recorder thing, tho. =)
:amazed: But... that defeats the whole purpose of being slack... I mean, isn't asking for it effort enough? ;)

[Charon]

Ebaums world has always been a favourite of mine. So while you're discussing sound recorder, why not go there and check out the flash made entirely by using windows default sounds. :)

Interestingly enough I actually found the badgers thing before it made it's way onto ebaums. Forget where. I'm liking the "Princess" animations (so sick) and dub dub dub... Must....resist....
DUB DUB DUB!
<walks off singing dub dub dub>

Badgerbadgerbadger Gooooall!! Itsss A Goooooal!! I like the English Soccer one.. lol

[FlashFirer]

Good joke '_'

[kai]

the clowns are in my head . . . . . . laughing :wall: . . . . always laughing . . O_O :chair: :bash:

[Yuffie]

Hehe cool, a badger that can stand on it's hind legs! That's AMAZING you guys!!! :D

*steals it and puts it in a cruel cruel circus*

Dance fiend, dance! :evilgrin:

[silverDistortioN]

i was watching the news once, and they showed this monkey that could walk on its hind legs... "like a human," they said.

...turns out it was just brain damage!

[Lord Draud]

um so. your saying we are all brain dead monkeys?

[FlashFirer]

Well, the discover of mankind.

[Grim]

um so. your saying we are all brain dead monkeys?so Draud, when did you become human? :amazed:

[Giea]

http://www.hampsterdance2.com/hampsterdance2.html Comon Guys! Hamster Dance!

[Lord Draud]

i never said i am human NOW but i was a few........hundread? years ago

[Giea]

Hundred or Hundread damn make up your mind!! That or the hamsters song will eat your soul out!

[Pezito]

I will never understand why some guy one day decided to write it "hamPster"... Why that P ? "haMsters" were always fine without it. :knockedout:

[Mithrandir]

Did you know Hampsters is a trademark for some kind of frozen bread?

Think of it twice before doing a typo :p

[Astrolounge]

I will never understand why some guy one day decided to write it "hamPster"... Why that P ? "haMsters" were always fine without it. :knockedout: It's because of the Rotten Romans.
The Britions would have spelled it hamster, and plummer but NO...
LATIN had to be English's primary scource of grammer!
They had to go and put useless P's and B's into everything!
BAH!
Damn you Rome! Burn in Hades!

[Lance Alvein]

This thread used to be so popular in the old forums... what happened to it?
All unintelligent comments go here, please :p

[Galthol]

This thread used to be so popular in the old forums... what happened to it?
All unintelligent comments go here, please http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/tongue.gifWell heres to all the conversaions http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/tongue.gif

[Geosgaeno]

i think i once said "sound goes faster than the speed of sound", i just got confused with what i was saying, i made a right ass out of myself, i guess you could say i made a.......SHANEWAVEhttp://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/wink.gif

[eViL bAz]

SHANEWHAT!!!!????? what that means?? Its this acne or something else?????

[Geosgaeno]

you wouldnt understand what SHANEWAVE means, only 1 other person on this site doeshttp://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

hehe SHANEWAVES are such a laugh.

[SeymourGuado]

yes allow me to explain, there was once a lad named shane that me and geo knew...he was as dense as 50 planks and a rubber duck.

He was the most illogical and biggest idiot i have ever met. Now the worst thing is he was like that because he bunked off school and in general was an arsehole.

After knowing him for some time (i was friends with his mates, some of who were nice people....well 2) and after he kinda went on the rampage against my family I realised he needed a nickname

You have brainwave's for people who have come up with a great idea...

Well now you have shanewaves in memory of the fool who is the opposite...

Seifer Almasy

[Lance Alvein]

I can think of a few people who have shanewaves... Now I shall call them so :p

[Geosgaeno]

yes allow me to explain, there was once a lad named shane that me and geo knew...he was as dense as 50 planks and a rubber duck.
and the duck was made of his own flesh and blood http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/wink.gif

"hehehe ive got a live electrical wire on my floor to zap us all away"

[Galthol]

Umm this seems as good a place as any. I somehow got locked out of my Hotmail account and lost it so I created a new one, currently in the process of adding people again, if a kevin_henley@hotmail has added you, don't worry it's me.

[Lance Alvein]

Does this mean that Galthol had a "Shanewave"? http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/evilgrin.gif

[Geosgaeno]

i suppose it was a slight Shanewave but not to the scale me and Seymour know ithttp://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/wink.gif

[kai]

i wanted to go out and get a tan today but being it was windy the sun couldn't make it to me :P

[Locke]

LMFAO. I think that might've been the stupidest statement I've ever heard made, right up with the one you made the other night to your GF.


Steph "I'm going to punch you in the face, will it hurt?"
Kai "I don't know yet" :p

Wow did I ever laugh at that. :biglaugh:

[kai]

How about Niki's question at the gas station? Mark gets out to put air in his tire and Niki asks "How much is the air?" :wacky:

[Locke]

Or there was the random guy in the street "Denise, what are you doing beside that motercycle", followed by "Carl, I thought you were a motercycle"

[Lance Alvein]

I still remember the time when I was working at an animal farm, and I had some drunk guy come up to me and ask me "after we're done here, can we cook them llamas up and eat them?"

[Locke]

Ahahahahaha. That's awesome. I wish I had heard that one. Good times, good times.

[kai]

mmmm llamas . . . .
I'd assume their meat would be close to beef, darker and tough.

[Locke]

I hear people taste like chicken.

[Lance Alvein]

The funniest thing about my story, is that there were no llamas there!!!

[kai]

I dunno about that one, llamas are some stealthy creatures . . . . . did u hear that? . . . . . . . . . .. . O_O *spit* *llama noise* mmm a mcchicken

[Yuffie]

I have a song about llamas...I think Tom Jones is singing it... O.o

So officially his career has plummeted.

But I prefer camels. :D

[kai]

Has anyone ever seen that spray on hair? It comes in a can like spray paint, and the comercials run usually late in the evening. I would really like to know how genuine this hair in a can look.

[Yuffie]

I think I saw it on tv...but not actually on an advert, it looks funny though. :rofl:

Doesn't it like stick to the hair using static energy or something...?
If that's the case, what happens if some guy has a bald spot...would it just slightly shrink it?

[Astrolounge]

It looks like paint in reality.
Honest to god, paint!

[Lance Alvein]

Does that mean if I take hair colored paint, label it "spray-on hair", and sell it to old people with combovers, I'll make millions?

[kai]

The problem with that Lance is that someone has already started marketing the product. However if you come out with a similar product with a better slogan maybe people will choose your product over the leading competitor. ummm . . .
It's a little too early for me to think of anything post worthy but I'll get back to you.

[Locke]

Hmmmm, spray on hair eh... Thank god I have a full head of hair and everybody on my dad's side still has a full head of hair. Although on my mothers side they're all bald, so I can only hope that my hair stays in place. Meh, that's what the spray on hair is for.

[kai]

Personally if I went bald I would shave the rest of my head. It looks far worse to have hair around the outer rim of your head and a nice shiney bald spot in the dead center of your head.

[Yuffie]

I think my sister will go bald soon, due to the amount of hair dye she uses...

She is very serious about being a fake blonde... O.o

I found a lock of hair in the bathroom...not like strands, this was an actual lock with a curl at the end! :amazed:

She scares me.

[Locke]

I can't say I've ever found anything like that before. I watched a former roommate of mine cut his hair with a ceremonial dagger, but that's the worst that I can recall ever seeing done with hair.

[Astrolounge]

I was told male pattern baldness is carried on the mother's side.
Weird huh?

[Locke]

Yeah, I heard that too. I'm hoping and praying it doesn't hit me though, maybe it'll skip a generation. I don't want to end up like :somelliot:

[Yuffie]

It wouldn't be so bad without the moustache though...

I find it hard to believe anyone could make that moustache look good. :p

[Locke]

Mustache? Who has a mustache? Who has one that nobody could make look good?

[kai]

. . . . captain hook?

[Yuffie]

But look what happened to him :knockedout:

Although I'll admit he wouldn't look very good without it.

[Locke]

Maybe the one that Lance was trying to grow for a little while :biglaugh: . Peach fuzz to the extreme :p

[kai]

lol I could see that . . . . . it would have suited him when he was dressed as a mexican for halloween.

[Locke]

That was quite scary, actually. As I recall, I went to that party as myself. Who, that was one hard costume to create.

[kai]

This halloween . . . I'm goin out as SUPER GROVER!!!!!!!!!

[Locke]

That's going to make an interesting halloween. I think I might go out this year as a 70's rock star. I'm not sure though.

[Yuffie]

We don't really do halloween any more...it used to be great in our village but now you'd probably get mugged for your candy. :(

So instead I stay home with the candy, hide in my secret room and pretend no one's home. :evilgrin:

[kai]

Has anyone read Grover's "The Monster at the End of This Book"? It is quite the page turner . . . . . :D

[Yuffie]

Nope, but the end page sounds intriguing.

Kinda like "The Neverending Story"...but with an ending.

[kai]

http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/covers_450/9780375830464.jpg

It’s your lovable pal Grover, showing you how easy it is to move around–even with a book. In fact, Grover will show you how to use this book as part of your workout, by running under it, over it, and around and around for pages of heart-pumping fun. A page of tips for parents is also included

[Locke]

Hey now Kai, that's not the grover book I pocketed at a laundromat full of old people for you. That's something completely different :wonder:

[kai]

The only thing wrong with it is well . . . . ELMO!!!!!!!!! :realmad:

[Locke]

Now now Kai, there's nothing wrong with elmo a shotgun blast to the face couldn't fix :evillaugh:

[Astrolounge]

Second.

777

[Locke]

Hey Hey, all lucky sevens :D

[kai]

Lucky 7? There's a notion for this thread . . . . why is 7 the standard luckey number?

[Locke]

There's a notion for a lot of things, doesn't mean they occur :p

[kai]

Notion . . . . there's a notion, how often do you experience a notion . . . . http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/confused.gif

http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/funnyeyes.gif

[Locke]

I'd say once in a maroon moon or so :p

[kai]

About what percentage of fish are capable are ending a humans life? I think it's higher than most actually think. . . . . :evillaugh:

[Yuffie]

On the plus side, humans have the advantage that the fish can't run out and get them. :D

...unless it's one of those poisonous fish that are a delicacy and have to be cooked right or they'll kill you...

[Locke]

Whatever you do, when your near running water beware of a candiru fish. That is a fish with a fate worse then death (IMO).

[kai]

aren't those the fish that swim up your . . . :bawl: and then when you try and urininate they puff out and :bawl:

[Locke]

Yeah, that's right. Candiru fish suck. Bad.

[Astrolounge]

Ahh, how happy was I before I first learned about those?

[Locke]

I dunno. How happy were you before you learned about those?

*Gasp* You didn't find out the hard way did you :p

[Astrolounge]

GOD NO.

I'm saying I had never heard of them until now.
Thanks a lot, now I'm hydrophobic.

[Yuffie]

...why would a fish even want to do that though? Why can't they just swim around water like the other fish?! :amazed:

[Locke]

It's a kind of catfish that's a parasite. It normally does that only to other fish, but on occasion the odd person gets screwed.

Also, when it does that it lodges itself in there with spikes and can only be removed by surgery ;)

Now there's no way anybody could say that wouldn't suck.

[Yuffie]

You wouldn't want one of those finding it's way round the toilets. :amazed:

[kai]

Apparently they only go up there if you unrinate, drawn to the warmth. So that give new meaning to don't pee in the pool. Also once they do go up there . . . they feed of muscle tissue . . . . :bawl:

[Yuffie]

This is reminding me of soooo many horror films...although I've never seen one where the creature attacks....there. :p

[Astrolounge]

Yeah, why can't it latch onto your brain or something.
Like a respectable horrible creature.

[Locke]

Yeah. I can see the headlines now "Attack of the Candiru" :p

[kai]

So then you've never seen the movie "Killer Condom"?? Despite what you may think it is not a porn movie but rather a horror movie . . . . . . . well I guess it's kind of a horror porn but well . . . . . . you'd have some sort of sick fetish to enjoy it . . . :shame:

[Astrolounge]

Well there are a lot of people with sick fetishes out there.

[kai]

There's a thread idea . . . . . "What's your fetish" . . . . god I hope no one starts that .. . . . :shame:

[Locke]

I have no intentions of starting one called that. None at all :shame:

[Astrolounge]

Out of curiosity, who here does have a weird fetish.
No, don't tell us what it IS, just whether you have one or not.

[Locke]

I do not have a fetish whatsoever, be it normal or weird. And astro.... wow.... I really wasn't expecting to see the un-intelligent discusion getting hijacked into a "who has a fetish" thread :crazy:

[kai]

it's not a hijack, it suits the threads name :shame: how odd it is though

[Locke]

Meh, fine then. Regardless, it is indeed odd to have coming into the thread. In those things, I can honestly say that I am "Normal"

[kai]

What exactly is normal? Just what the average joe finds attractive? I may be one of those average joes but the freaks need people too . . . . .:shame: :peace:

(we'll say that when I refer to freaks it would be extreme things like having a carpet fetish or something)

[Astrolounge]

What the hell is a carpet fetish?
Actually, I don't want to know.

[Yuffie]

I did see this funny advert a while ago where a guy stuck 2 squares of carpet to his feet so he didn't have to carpet the whole room.

But that's NOTHING compared to the freaky condom adverts on tv. :amazed:

So then you've never seen the movie "Killer Condom"?? Despite what you may think it is not a porn movie but rather a horror movie . . . . . .
I can't help wondering why you know about that O.o

[Locke]

Yuffie - That movie was discovered one day back in grade 11, I believe. We were in the movie store close to our high school, looked left from the cash register where we were paying for whatever game we were renting, and there was "Killer Condom" sitting right there. We almost cried we were laughing so hard :p

I have no idea what a carpet fetish is, and I concur with Astro in that I really don't want to know. I really don't.

[kai]

Well, would you rather hardwood floors?? :confused:

[Locke]

Aesthetically, yes, for the purpose you're implying, well... no, I guess not.

[kai]

Well if it has a nice finish you wouldn't need to worry about splinters at least . . :crazy:

Now Tootsy pop comercials ask how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsy pop, so are we to assume that the # of licks is a constant and will never change, because some people have bigger tongues and what not so how can it be constant?? :wacky:

[Locke]

Personally, I just prefer to eat the damned tootsie pops, because I think it's all a big trick to try to get you to get into the center of the tootsie pop .... WHICH DOESN'T EXIST ... :amazed:

[Astrolounge]

336 when I counted several years ago.
my sister got 354,
my friends Scott and Matt got 7 and 328 respectively.

So there you have it, the hard data.

[Lance Alvein]

my friends Scott and Matt got 7 and 328 respectively. You mean he was able to get to the centre in 7 licks? Thats pretty good...

[kai]

I once got to the center of a head of lettuce in only 138 licks. :D I'm so pround of my record.

[Yuffie]

You've earnt new respect from me Kai...mainly because that's just gross. :rofl:

[Locke]

When was this Kai. And why wasn't I informed so I could compete and try to beat your record :realmad:

[kai]

Ok locke on friday we'll have a good ol' fashion lettuce lickin' competition . . . :evilgrin:
YOUR GOIN DOWN PUNK ! ! ! :curse:

[Lance Alvein]

Wait till I'm there... I'll be a judge :p

[Locke]

Ok Kai, you're on. Keep in mind, I like lettuce :lick: :p

[kai]

How can you not like lettuce? It's solidified water that's green. :crazy:

[Locke]

http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/lol.gif Very true. I know that, and that would be half the reason on why I said I'm in. I'm always thirsty. Oh, I'll tell you what, you can even start off by licking through the lettuce in the fridge. O_O

[Yuffie]

I don't like lettuce. :emlaugh:

But it's ok, I'm used to being void from competitions such as these because people think I'm too special. :)

[Locke]

"Special" ;) :thumbup: Nice Yuffie, very nice

[Yuffie]

Aww thanks Locke! :D
You see I try and be modest about being superior and undoubtedly winning any competition I try but even so I find judges tend to disqualify me to give the other people a chance. :)

[Locke]

Sure thing Yuffie, sure thing ;) Don't worry be happy now :p It's ok... :peace:

[kai]

Yes yuffie, you should be happy to be "special" :crazy:

[kai]

So there's this sasquatch, and he's got my wrist watch, and he's playing hopscoth, way up in a tree. ;)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v305/oreo808/smoking.gif

[Locke]

I'm bud the spud from the bright red mud, rolling down the highway smiling :p

[Lance Alvein]

The spuds are big on the back of Bud's rig, and they're from Prince Edward Island... :p

[Locke]

They're from Prince Edward Island :p

Gotta love good old stompin Tom Conners :D

[kai]

Yes that's our island heritage right there. County music, bootleggers, and potatoes. :tophat:

[Locke]

Yeah, that sum's it up pretty well. That and Anne of Green Gables drawing in the Japanese tourists. That happens alot through the tourist season.

[kai]

Oh does it ever O_O , seems to be a lot of asian students coming into UPEI lately too. I guess in ways PEI would be the exact opposite of say Japan or Hong Kong.

[Tonedeaf]

i don't understand the draw or that little red haired ***** it makes no sence to me what-so-ever i mean i have read the books and i don't think that there that good and ch'town is more slums now than heritage.... but island potatoes make som seriosly good 'shine

[Locke]

Well done TD :p. While I agree with you on the uses of island potatoe's, Anne of Green Gables is huge in Japan because of the spirit that Anne showed. That's about it, I think. No other reason I can think of.

[kai]

As I was saying earlier it's all about being the opposite. We represent freedom (wide open space) where they are very diciplined and compact.

[Locke]

Possibly. Though we're beggining to fill ourselves up.... the population keeps getting bigger slowly and the island shrinks a little bit every year. Eventually we'll be stacked up like Japan.

[Tonedeaf]

i doubt that we'll ever be stacked up like japan our agriculture won't allow it we'll just go broke and ppl will move away

[Locke]

Maybe. Or maybe we'll just pump up the Anne of Green Gables merchandice and live of the Japanese :p

[kai]

That is why japs come to the island locke, for our sense of freedom they don't have.

[Locke]

Ok Kai. Ok. Whatever you say man....

[kai]

It's not what I say it's what they say, you forget my parent own a B&B and they get a lot of jap tourists, not to metion the studies that have been coducted by the island tourism industry. :nana:

[Locke]

I hate those coducted studies on tourism here on the island. Man, they suck.

Hey Kai, remember when we were walking down on the waterfront and ronald macdonald stepped out and started trying to speak to us. That was scary....

[kai]

They suck because no one likes the information they seem to dig up . . . . nothing they conclude is ever positive. "tourism is dropping" , "tourists have nothing to do on the island" . . . etc. . .

Ronald is scary as a one eyed shitzu name pete, especially when he appears from nowhere.

[Tonedeaf]

i can immagine that ronald would be scary as a one eyed shitzu he's pure evil in clown form.... 95% of ppl that hate clowns hate them for being harrassed as small children by someone in a ronald mcdonald costume when they were young the other 5 % hate them because of the movie IT by steven king....

[Locke]

Personally, I found it really funny to see kai start suddenly walking faster and frantically whispering to me "Don't make eye contact, it's satan" I laughed and laughed and laughed :lol: :rofl: :biglaugh:

[Leon]

Ronald (http://0wn3d.dk/owned/Mc-Own3d.jpg)got pwned!

The commercials have scarred some beyond the point of insanity. Like me.

[Locke]

WOW :love:

That just made my desktop at work :p

Thanks Leon, that definently pwns

[Tonedeaf]

lol that's awesome

[Locke]

Anywbody ever notice how on sunday's there's really not all that many people driving that know how to drive. It's normally either tourists or old people coming back from church. This makes me mad :mad:

[kai]

I'd say that problem would be narrowed down to small towns (or province in our case) seeing as how almost eveywhere else in North America other than Atlantic allows Sunday shopping and hasn't kept Sunday as a family orientent day where youngins can go out and catch frogs and the elderly can walk the streets without worrying about young hooligans knocking them down and stealing their teeth.

[Locke]

That is true. If only people here used sunday's to their full potential :shame: Why I can't recall the last time I could walk the street on a sunday without fear of young hooligan's running up and knocking me over :emlaugh:

Meh, what can you do when you live in a place largley dominated by the catholic religion.

[kai]

Why use entheogens?

For the same reason there is Alchemy. The same reason we have gods. They raise us above our attachments and remove our emotional bounds to show us a different point of view. They teach of higher worlds, and give us a glimpse of our own from a higher point of view. They cause us to understand our motivations and to circumscribe our desires. They motivate us to create holy (great) monuments, inspire teachings of greatness, and have led to our present development. The question is not why entheogens, but why refuse?

Exactly . . . . :nana:

[Tonedeaf]

ok this may sound stupid but please elaborate on the deffinition of the word entheogens?

[kai]

Entheogen nov. verb.: 'God within us', those plant substances that, when ingested, give one a divine experience, in the past commonly called 'hallucinogens', 'psychedelics', 'psychoto-mimetics', etc etc, to each of which serious objections can be made. A group headed by the Greek scholar Carl A. P. Ruck advances 'entheogen' as fully filling the need, notably catching the rich cultural resonances evoked by the substances, many of them fungal, over vast areas of the world in proto- and prehistory.... We favor the adoption of this word. Early Man, throughout much of Eurasia and the Americas, discovered the properties of these substances and regarded them with profound respect and even awe, hedging them about with bonds of secrecy. We are now rediscovering the secret and we should treat the 'entheogens' with the respect to which they were richly entitled. As we undertake to explore their rôle in the early history of religions, we should call them by a name unvulgarized by hippy abuse. – R. Gordon Wasson. The Wondrous Mushroom:

Sorry about all the copy and pasting folks just found the stuff interesting, in the future I'll just paste the site address.

[Locke]

Wow, I must say Kai. That was quite well phrased. My support is behind that statement. :D :thumbup:

[kai]

I didn't write it, it is from one of the sites I used while researching societies views on drugs and the views of people who use them.

[Locke]

Ah, regardless, I concur with the statement. Seems pretty good from my point of view. :)

[Tonedeaf]

touche' i am glad that i asked lol

The world is falling apart, and no one is safe. . . .

And thus does Gargemel get his revenge on "All you smurf's" :p

On a more serious note, anybody else notice that say's Unicef on the bottom right of it :p :rofl:

Do not let war destroy the universe of children.

I thinks is spanish Unicef poster. Just goes to prove, everybody loves the smurfs.

[Locke]

I thinks is spanish Unicef poster. Just goes to prove, everybody loves the smurfs.Personally, I think it's a spanish unicef poster that somebody cut that pic of the smurf's onto. That's just me, but to me that's what it looks like.

[kai]

The actual explanation can be found here http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/10/08/wsmurf08.xml&sSheet=/news/2005/10/08/ixhome.html

[Locke]

Wow, that's awesome. I wish our television would put on something like that, though it would definently scar any children who've seen the smurfs :shame: Meh, it would be definently one of the most messed up things I'd seen in a while.

[kai]

There's a snake in my boots . . . . . . :confused: I'm not sure why it is I posted that . . . nor do I know why I am posting this semi-explanation of why I posted the sentence that I don't know why I posted. But at least this can be said for the sentence, if there was a snake in my boots I would not have the time to type it because I would be rather occupied with the snake, so in conclusion the statement that reads "there's a snake in my boots" does not actually mean I have a snake in my boots but rather means . . . . . I do not have a snake in my boots and I have a lot of time on my hands so I am going to state I have a snake in my boots that way I will have something to talk about . . . . . . . though there really isn't anyone here so I would be talking to myself . . . . . so if the conversation is with myself then both of us have snakes in our boots so . . . . . . . I was wrong all along and WE HAVE SNAKES IN OUR BOOTS . .. . . . . oh god the snakes are multiplying . ..:bawl:

[Lance Alvein]

Why did your snakes sneak over here and try to get in my boots??? :bawl: now I've got snakes in my boots...

[Tonedeaf]

The Snakes Are Multiplying Where Is Saint Patrick?!!?

[Locke]

He be dead TD, he be deader then the snake's he banished to the cold cold sea.

[Galthol]

Besides that only worked thanks to the luck of the Irish. Maybe we could get another Saint to get rid of them though. Anybody got any nominations. for RPGN's fourms patron Saint?

[Locke]

Saint Square? Could work :p

[Galthol]

I was thinking St Cid, or something myself

[kai]

How about Saint Typhoid . . . . . . though come to think of it snakes aren't capable of getting typhoid.

[Locke]

How's about Saint Alexander or something, you know, a holy element type dealy thing ;)

[Ephraim]

Woo! Take a look (http://www.toothpastefordinner.com/110105/my-dad-can-beat.gif)!

LOL very good, a cartoon fitting for this thread . . . . :crazy:

Here's another :

[Locke]

Sooo, has anyone else seen Baseketball?

[kai]

Yes, a pretty funny movie, though more of a stoner movie than an actual comedy, kind of like Kung-Pow (though in my opinion not quite as good), kind of wierd/funny when your sober, and hilarious when your not.

[Locke]

Yeah, it's quite the interesting movie. Anybody else notice that black and decker cheese strings are good?

[kai]

Did anyone hear about the M&M balloon going down during this years Macy's Thanksgiving Parade in New York city? Here's a picture of the incident :
http://www.truthout.org/imgs.art_01/3.112805BL2_sm.jpg

The balloon injured to sisters. During the telecast of the event all NBC did was cut out the downed balloon and insert footage from last years parade of the M&M balloon.

[Locke]

I did hear about that. You told me about it. Kinda funny though :p :rofl:

[kai]

I'm not sure if I should post this in this thread but seeing as how I made it for pointless banter . . . . .

If you go to the Role Playing section of the forums, no one has posted in it in over a week . . . . . :confused: I really don't know what to make of it, maybe someone will post in it and defeat the purpose of this post? OOOO life is certainly a mystery . . . . WOBBLE WOBBLE WOBBLE . . . . SPOINK, KERSPLAT, PLOP, NEEEEEWONG!!!

[Cyrano de Hero]

Maybe people aren't interested in playing roles anymore...

[Locke]

Indeed. I've noticed that the role-playing thread tends to fall to disuse, as there's really not alot of banter about role-playing games that goes on here that's exclusively about role playing, but it's nice to know if we have anything that's not about video games we can post it in the role playing game portion of the thread :wonder:

This comic is by far one of the funniest I think VG Cats has ever done.

Yeah, VG cats has done it again. I'm rather amused by this one for sure :rofl: :lol: :biglaugh:

This is the Hang'in Song . . . . . .

C'mon everbody! Let's have a hoedown!

Oh, Lord loves a hangin'.
That's why He gave us necks.
It tightens up our vocal cords
And loosens up our pecs.

So if you are a horse theif
And guilty to the bone,
Go ahead and blame a friend
And you won't hang alone.

It may be hard to swaller,
But you'll be three feet taller.
It's a dandy way to entertain your friends.

You say you are a villain,
But can't abide by killin';
Go ahead a steal yourself a horse.

Oh, Lord loves a hangin'.
And so do we, by heck;
So get yerself a lasso
And decorate your neck.

Oh, we is awful ignorant
And uglier 'n sin;
So go ahead 'n cut us down
And hang us all again,

Hangin' that is. Swing a spell..

(God Bless Ren & Stimpy :p)

I hate spoiled kids.

They are the type of youth to grow up and call into a tech support center and demand we fix their problem right now. YOU ARE NOT SPECIAL, YOU BUY YOUR SERVICE FROM US, MOST PAY MORE THAN YOU, GO &*^% YOURSELF YOU *#%&$! GOAT *&%$#@!!!

:D It feels nice to get stuff off your chest once in a while.


Who's up for ping pong :dance:

[FlashFirer]

I am ^^ Not such a good player, but I do enjoy playing it...

[Pezito]

Same here (about ping-pong, not being a spoiled kid ^^) !

[Yuffie]

I'm more of a badminton type myself. Especially when you play it reeeeeally slowly so you just can't miss. Doesn't take much skill but it's still fun. :spin:

I hate parents who let their 2 year old kids answer the phone. What do they expect from them?!
I can't ask a survey to a 2 year old and when I ask to speak to their parents they sort of just um and hang up. :rofl:

2 year olds are crazy!! :amazed:

[Lance Alvein]

I can't ask a survey to a 2 year old and when I ask to speak to their parents they sort of just um and hang up. :rofl:Maybe that's why they get the 2 year olds to answer the phone :p

[Yuffie]

That's ok, I have a magical button to let me make an appointment to automatically call them back whenever I want. :D

We did do surveys with people aged 5-65 once...try asking a 5 year old how much they would pay for a yearly subscription to a tennis club. :knockedout:

The people who make these surveys just don't think it through. :emlaugh:

Momma always said wearing jeans was like being fat. You can't move around very well and you sweat alot when you run. :umbrella:

But yeah I prefer shorts and trainers. :rofl:

But sometimes I glam up and throw on some high heels to make myself feel good. :D

Speaking of death...

(this is an optimistic post, I can tell!)

There was this irish guy on the phone at work today and I needed to speak to his wife.
We'd called a few days ago and left a video tape with her to get her opinion on a new program and I was calling back to see what she thought.

Turns out she died between then and now and I didn't realise because of the guy's accent. I couldn't make out that he was saying "she's dead" :knockedout:

So I felt pretty bad but worse that she wasted half and hour of her last moment watching some crap video.

And so on goes the great circle of life. O_O

[Pezito]

Maybe the guy said that just because they wanted you to leave them alone, making fun of you in the meantime ? :search:

[Yuffie]

Nah, we actually tend to get a few deaths now and then.

You'd have to be pretty sick to say you're wife died and left her 0-36 week old baby and not be telling the truth. :(

But good for you for looking at the possible bright side of the situation :)

[kai]

You'd have to be pretty sick to say you're wife died and left her 0-36 week old baby and not be telling the truth. :(

Or she could have been one of those women who runs around kicking babies and eating puppies. The world could be a better place now (have to look at all the angles).

[Yuffie]

That's a pretty optimistic view (in a twisted sort of way). :rofl:

Well I'm never going to speak to them again so I'll get over it. :D
It's the only way to deal with people yelling and insulting you over the phone, just to forget them. :p

[Locke]

Yeah, you tend to develope a superiority complex while speaking on the phone though. You realise that these people, regardless of who they are, need your help. Either you start to think your better then them so you can distance yourself from their problems or you have an emotional breakdown :) (from what I've seen of the last year and a half at a call center, anyways)

[Yuffie]

Yeah, my friend is currently on a pretty high dosage of anti-depressants at the same job as me so I'm doing damn well! :p

[Locke]

Yeah.... I have no faith whatsoever for those things. I've had too many relationships that just went to shit as soon as she starting taking them.... I don't believe they work at all. But, if that's what it takes to cope with people yelling at you all day... that's up to you.

[Yuffie]

I'd rather just call the back 1st thing the next morning. :D

[kai]

The guilty pleasures of pissing people off while following company guidlines while you do it :evilgrin: . I must say that is the only reason I havn't looked for another job. People don't bother me, but the job is boring, same thing day after day. Sometimes getting people a little worked up is fun, assuming you do it by the book :tophat: .

[Yuffie]

Yeah the monotony of it all is what I dislike most about it!

I'll look for another job near my student house towards the end of August so I'm just looking forward to that. :rofl:

A bit of hope. :p

[Locke]

Yeah, it's always good when you can actually flat out say no to a customer every now and again. I've only been able to do it once with our company policies, but I fondly remember it from time to time. It's a nice thing to be able to do when you have to put up with so much bs from people all day :p

[Yuffie]

Yeah yelling at clients and/or proving them wrong is a great feeling! :dance:

Just check none of the supervisors are wearing headphones and in theory they aren't listening in. :p

[kai]

Edit : Ignore the old post, was one of those situations you have to live to enjoy . . . . or work in tech support . . . :mad: (I'm red and have few teeth).

[Locke]

Yeah yelling at clients and/or proving them wrong is a great feeling! :dance:

Just check none of the supervisors are wearing headphones and in theory they aren't listening in. :pYeah, we have a department that records the calls and then grades them for quality assurance. No sup's listening in on our calls, just a department that records them all and listens at their leisure.


Anybody ever see a flying monkey? :crazy:

[Yuffie]

We have a 2 way mirror in the room...but I don't know why. You can't see the computer screens through it because of all the cubicle wall things around them... :wonder:

Just so you have the feeling that you are being watched. I don't know the exact results but they have conducted studies that show people who beleive they are being watched tend to act more honestly.

[Pezito]

What a shitty method. XD

[Yuffie]

It was my turn to refresher training today. So I got called to the briefing room...and they said they'd go through anything were unsure about....so I got them to go through the whole list and finished my shift. :D

[kai]

Found an article on the whole being watched thing.

‘Big Brother’ eyes make us act more honestly
http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn9424-big-brother-eyes-make-us-act-more-honestly.html

O_O Interesting as it may be I doubt anyone would use this method to influence their employees. Not until it was more conclusive anyways.

[kai]

Do you suppose a turkey could tell the difference between it's own head and the head of another turkey after it had been decapitated. Of course we'll have to assume it is a wild turkey with black feathers otherwise the question would hardly make sense, now would it? :spin:

Why must the weatherman be so horrible at predicting the weather. After all the word weather is in his title. Is it so wrong of me to assume that someone in this world could live up to their name. You don't see the easter bunny running around not being a bunny now do you? NO! So from now on either start predicting the weather or change your name to grotesque pile of iverted organs. And believe me I will make sure you live up to the new name :evilgrin: .

[Locke]

Dunno about the turkey, somehow I doubt it.

Now the weatherman thing.... they suck as a whole, but they do predict the weather somewhat, just usually not accurately. Temperature is usually somewheres around right though.

[Skikkles]

My hair was eaten by a badger once, he then went to the infirmary for dialated pupils complaining about dilation of his nose.
When all that ruckus was over the badger took off his happy face and kicked the lamb in the chops who was busy with the mushroom dancing a waltz.
Now this caused a lot of trouble...
Do you know how mad the chinchilla was at this, it at my toes.....

So where does goats milk come from because my goat eats shoes and he doesn't look like one, so he's not what he eats, so why are you a grape??

BUNGALOWS ARE UGLY!!!

That is all for todays announcement, just remember if you get high enough grades we will harvest your flesh and brain first to put you out of this misery called life so work hard and don't eat the purple ones or you will be forced to expunge them through your pores in your left foot.

[Lance Alvein]

I was once pecked in the eye by a chicken... that makes me win :p

[Locke]

He's not lying either. We have the family video to prove it :rofl: :lol: :biglaugh:

I crack up every time I think about it. That is so hilarious to watch :p
