RF Generation Message Board

Because the other thread is way too long, I decided to start a new one. Feel free to fill this one up with even more nonsense than the old one.

Anyways, I stumbled upon this when looking for bestiality.  http://www.feeder.co.uk

Why were you looking for bestiality?

Oh, did I say bestiality, my bad. I meant pictures of flowers.

Honestly i have to agree.
I am not going to click that link for awhile.
Definately not the way to start a new thread about nothing i might add.

And was the last Completely Unrelated thoughts thread doing its job to well and you got sick of it?

No, it took too long to load if you did a regular reply.

He is right about that one.  It was especially bad in Firefox, which would suddenly start eating 100% of my CPU and 100% of my RAM resources.  Bad Firefox.

Double post alert.



Agreed.

Smilies kick ass!!! :banana:

@ Arr for wantiing to kill all fat people you sure do post a lot of stuff about fat people.

Horray for me having the last post in part 1!!!

It also took forever to load on a 26.4 connection.

Thats gotta hurt  :-/

Doesn't everything?

My firefox isn't as PC hungry as yours is.
Wonder why...

It was fine on my computer.  |D

I guess it only happens to cool people.

Yes.

that thread hung a little on a T1 as well.

Yeah it did.  At home the only way for me to reply was to use to quick reply box.

I wish i tried it on a 14k modem. I wonder what would have happened.
I wonder if it would have blown up.

That would be so cool.

Anyways back to reality now.... which is so much less interesting sometimes

That's why we all play video games, isn't it?

Ozzy is a great father

He sure is.

hmmm, real or photoshop?

could have been worse. he c/uld have bit her head off.

or would that have been better?

She seems a lot slimmer than she used to be, I think.

Or she has a body girdle on.

hmm.. never noticed any slow down here related to the thread length.  :-)

Girdle is seriously such a sick word. It isn't nearly as cool as gargantuan. That word is way cool.

Let me get my dictionary...

Is it sad that dictionary.com is one of my favorite websites?

Yes and no.
m-w.com is better IMO.

dictionary.com is great.  For a while, I subscribed to the word of the day just so I could read the word entries in my mailbox and learn new etymologies.

Sorry, m-w is better.
I switched over at a time when dictionary.com was not able to keep up with the hits it was getting, and never switched back.
Oh, and google's spell check is nice too.

now that she's a pseudo celebrity she probably has a personal trainer. that or she's taken on her father's cocaine habit, I've heard hard core drug addiction can be slimming.

I love dictionary.com...Although about 99% of my use of it is looking up curse words.

Crack - The next Fen Phen

freak, fuck is spelled f-u-c-k. now you won't need to look that one up.

What are its definitions?

I can't tell you that till you're 18.

By the time i am 18 you are going to have to take pills to do it.
:laugh:

You're

No you are.

Honda was on campus today and they gave a presentation of ASIMO to the campus.
(I dont have much time to describe it right now, but I will update it later.)

:laugh: :laugh: Nice one.

People who correct peoples spelling on forums are a jack ass!

people's* jackasses*

I know. Jackass!  :laugh: :laugh:

No jackasses allowed!

What's wrong with donkeys?

People who spell the easiest words wrong are idiots. There's nothing wrong with trying to keep up a certain standard.

spell*

zing!

I think it would be more proper to use something like "others'" or "a person's."

if you're asking for this crew to gain a sense of what's proper you're wasting your time.

You ever want to stab somebody, just so you can say that you've done it?  You could sit around with your friends and say "Hey you remember that time at Wendy's when I stabbed a guy in a throat?".  Then everyone would get uneasy and try to leave the room.  It would be fun.

Yeah, I want to stab someone, just for typing your instead of you're.

Should they die like fat people?
:beating: :fu:

hmmm... you raise a good point.

:fight: :fu:

what about fat people that can't spell?

Well, I wouldn't want something to happen to Tynstar.

:bigno:

Who cares if a few words are mispelled. Do you have a superiority complex or do you think you are being funny ?

Oh yes, how dare I bash Tynstar after he bashes me. What WAS I thinking.

And I care if stupid mistakes are being made. Mixing up you're and your and their, they're and their annoys me to no end, because everybody knows how to type these up properly, but people that mix them up just don't put any thoughts into their posts. And sometimes it's confusing. Often because it's combined with a total lack of interpunction.

And I really don't care if somebody makes a small typo or spelling error, but the above words fall in neither category.

I know , because posting on a video game board is really serious and we should watch our "P's and Q's" ::)

It wouldnt be the end of the world if you did not point out other people's mistakes. ;) (of course if the world ends because you stop , I dont want to be blamed)

I can assure you, the world WILL stop. It happened before, but you probably don't remember. I think it was a Holland only thing anyway.

:'( :'( :'(

So what is worse a staff member having errors in their post or a staff member saying all fat people should die and "What's worse bowling or AIDS?"

I'm thinking...you know what, I'm staying out of this one.

Okay, everyone needs to stop being so angry and sad and mean and play some Contra or something.  Or, take a look at this photo and smile.  Everybody loves a smiling monkey, right?  Right??

http://money.cnn.com/2003/09/04/pf/saving/pepsi_monkey_game/monkey.03.jpg

I want a monkey.

Scott was telling me the other day about a pair of chimps that attacked a man and messed him up pretty bad.

No monkeys for me......

Had the man done anything to them or was this just one of those perfect stories for an anti-monkey commercial?

Here is the story you are referring to:

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=519&ncid=718&e=9&u=/ap/20050305/ap_on_re_us/chimpanzee_attack

is a chimp really a monkey? I thought monkey's had tails, chimps don't have tails.

oh and Arrr has always been a spelling & grammar Nazi. he can't help himself.

That's something else.  I certainly wouldn't want to mess with those chimps.  Of course I guess I won't have to since they are dead now.

That smiling monkey had really white teeth. To the point where I wonder if he ever had his teeth whitened.

Think Crest does product testing on animals before it goes to store shelves?

usually just dogs.

Just so I don't have to double post in another thread, here is another random link I found:

http://nachos.sabatos.net/index2.html

That page is very lame.

So are 99% of ninja sites, but everyone thinks those are the coolest things ever.

I don't know why but I though it was funny.

Those nachos looked like they would taste really really really good.

Made me wanna go watch The Hunted again.

I hate being sick; I was suppose to turn in my web design project today but I stayed home.

I was sick today.
Walked to the bus stop in the sucky cold. Thought i missed the bus. Walked back home. Total cold time 36 minutes.
Left house 20ish minutes later mom dropped  me off at school.

Walk into the office to check in late.
Office Lady "There is no school today"

I was to tired to be pissed off that i wasted most of my night sleeping and my morning being awake.

I don't. I hate monkeys all together. I think they're foul, smelly, fugly creatures and they fucking creep me out!

Though there are times when I think they should be performing tasks since humans are seemingly incapable...lol

I think monkeys are very funny.

what about these Monkees?

(http://webby.umeedu.maine.edu/coehd/sixties/monkees.jpg)

Those guys are okay, but overrated a lot.

for a made for TV band they were pretty good. I watched their show a lot when I was a kid.

If you want to se a weird ass movie, check out "Head". it's a bit different from what they did on their TV show.

Is it a porn?

Equally as frightening.

They're the s club 7 of the sixties.

I didn't know S Club 7 survived past 2000 at the latest.
Didn't they kinda dissapear right after some TV show and 1or 2 songs?

I don't know. It has been ages since I've heard of them, but then again, I'm not really into modern pop culture.

Wait S Club 7 was a band?  When did that happen?

What the hell is S Club 7?

There were a bunch of boys and girls that were a 'band' in a tv show and in real life. They made horrible music. Imagine 7 britney spears on a stage, but worse.

I watched that show one time. It made me cry a lot out of pain, so I didn't watch it again.

I saw parts of it once. They were with some guy that was in a metal band or something. It was most pathetic. I felt dirty afterwards.

Don't you feel dirty all the time? I mean, I'd be surprised if you didn't.

I wouldn't.  Not with the stuff he posts.

Even dirtier than I normally feel then.

So, sorta like Kids Incorporated huh?

so essentially the Monkees are to blame for decades of awful made for TV bands. I guess you can blame the Partridge Family too.

Yes, yes you can.

going to school today was a bad idea.

Made any of your evil fellow students sick?

Going to school any day is a bad idea. You should drop out.  ;)

Yeah, school is overrated. Working in a factory is where it's at now. All the cool kids do it.

Thats what i have been saying.
No one seems to beleive me though.

Guess i am going to have to stick it out and get some sort of "real job"

there's also plenty of sweatshops hiring. 25 cents an hour! a cash windfall.

Sweat shops around here pay minimum wage or a bit over.

The real sweatshops only have illegal aliens in them.
You have to be one to know there secret location.

Never mind, it was a good thing I went to school today.  I got to piss off a bunch of hicks.

I was eating lunch with a few of my friends and some hick they got in a fight with a few days ago was sitting in the table next to us, so he turns to us and says "you guys are fags".  Well we decided to just go along with it so we all just started acting as gay as we could short of making out with each other.  Then we started asking them if they wanted to be gay with us and just bent over and said "its ok really; you can be gay with us we're really not picky where we get our anal sex".  After lunch in the halls they tried to jump us.  But they're dumb asses and didn't realize that there were eight of us and only two of them at the time.

You crazy kids  :gay:

Sinning Dragon's heart will be broken.

I'm not actually gay.

it's too late for back peddling now. the cat is out of the bag. or is that closet?

closet

Wait, why is my heart broken?

Because freak boy is gay.

not that there's anything wrong with that.

Oh no, definately not. It pleases me to say, that out of all homosexuals, Freak boy is one of my favourites.

Oh, yea, I got over my broken heart about... four years ago? Since then I've been trying to get him to come out. Apparently the cowboys at school got him to.

Gee thanks for helping convince them that I'm not gay phia... Oh well.

There's no need to be ashamed.

I miss the old days where we just use to call NES Junkie gay.

Yeah, but in those days we were just playing around.

This one time I saw this really nasty lesbian and she made me ashamed of not being straight.

Ok, that's a lie, but whatever. She was a bitch, though.

They were pretty nasty.

Lesbian porn is good though.

We really need to get an AO section on this site.
Arrr would be the ruler obviously.

AO?

Adults Only.
Was the first thing that poped into my head.
Sorry for the confusion.

Out of bordom i just searched for the
1337 post in the last Unrelated thoughts thread.
It was made by Arrr


And that is the L337post of the day. (Probably alot longer.)

What the hell are you talking about?

Just unrelated thoughts.

I was searching ebay earlier and found a few Mortal Kombat games that looked EXACTLY the same as Killer Instinct carts.
Like Mortal Combat Gold for N64 that said Killer Instinct Gold. Maybe the poor sod thought he was holding a Dreamcast GD-Rom.

I agree with that.

Me too.


On an unrelated note- sales tax is shitty.

Yeah it is but I does, but it does help the state pay for stuff.

Pffff you silly americans always complainging about taxes and gas. Crybabies.

The only reason I don't like sales tax is because half the tills at blockbuster forget to add it in and then I have to figure it out myself. I'm not that smart.

http://www.esorn.ag.state.oh.us/Secured/p23.aspx?oid=13753

This guy is hot. I don't understand why he'd have to solicit a prostitute (picture won't work in firefox).

WTF!

Wow that guy beats all of the freaks my friend had from our area.
Hats off to Ohio for having a guy who looks like a holloween costume.

Man, looking at that picture made me reeeeeally dizzy.  I think I need to go lay down for a minute.  I feel like I'm going to fall over.  Seriously.  I'm not kidding.

You're just jealous because he's special.

WTF indeed...

Holy shit.......

That reminds me of that movie Freaks that came out in the 40's or 50's.

They should just let some people get away with shit like that.  Like this guy.

You could drop Mark a position and he could be King Filthy and you could be King Almost Awesome.

Better be careful, before we change you to Sir Postalot.

I think that's a fitting name for him.

I could care less.
I suggested Post Master General before.

How about Girly McGirly pants?

I like it.

Whatever that works too.

He's agreed to it. Now change his title.  The freak has spoken!

Only it turns out that Girly McGirlypants fits the freak better than it fits the izret.

Freak agreed to my quote so i guess thats what i will be.
I still like Post Master General.
Sir Postalot was pretty good too though.

And Phia is right but i figured i would let her say say it.

Why thank you, Izret. A girl always likes to hear she is right, plus was allowed to say whatever it is she is saying.


Guys in poolhalls are funny/cool/weird.

oh we got trouble. right here in River City and it starts with T which rhymes with P which stands for "Pool"!

Tool?

uh no. Trouble. it's from an old musical called "the Music Man". Pool is considered the root of all evil.

Everybody check the featured collection  8) :ninja: :fap:

Already did. Nice stuff you got there.

Ya i saw earlier this week.
I was going to let you know yours was featured but i figured you would catch on soon enough.

took you a while to notice.

I think I saw it yesterday, or the day before yesterday.

www.maniahill.com/funny/ROUGHSEX.MPG
Someone sent me this. I thought it was pretty funny.
It is Arrrs kinda funny... It is not terribly disgusting though.

I've seen that before.  I guess it's kinda funny.  Not really my sense of humor though.

I'm not going to click on it just because of the URL

It's not funny at all.

naughty teenagers. you shouldn't be looking at that stuff.

I'm sure I had seen worse before I was even a teenager.  The internet has destroyed the last remnants of innocence kids have these days.  I know it destroyed mine.

Seeing as we are talking about the evil internet and its polution of todays youth.
Did anyone see that video a year ago of the beheading of the guy in Iraq?
My friend did and the way he described it was pretty gruesome.
I never ended up seeing it though.

I remember some news organization made it sound like half the people in the world were hopping online to find it.

I saw it.

In the light of the subject I'm trying to find a picture from world war 2 with several small dead children tied to a tree with barbed wire. I guess it's for the best that I can't find it back.

That sounds like something my older brother would look for (he's pretty fucked up).

Why would you be looking for that?

I wasn't looking for it. I was reading stuff about world war 2 and holocaust related stuff. And that picture was there. And now I'm curious again.

Well that makes sense then

Yeah, it's kinda surprising to see that some of the worst attrocities commited during the nazi regime were not by the nazis themselves but collaborators from 'countries' like the Ukraine and Lithuania.

@ Anthony - I saw that video.  It was very gruesome.  It's one thing seeing something like that in a movie, but when you know it's real, it takes on a whole different.....  I can't think of the word, but you know what I mean.

I try to avoid stuff like that. I browsed rotten.com once and some of those images are still in my head. yeah I'm curious but I don't really want to see people dying or dead.

And stuff like goatcx and tub girl I also wish I'd never seen.

The sad thing is that you can stumble on that stuff without even trying. I was doing a google image search for a picture of a UPS truck when my company was pitching that account. One of the picture it found was of a guy who got hit by a UPS truck, he was in pieces all over the road. Another time I needed an image of  a sock for a flyer and get some freaky pic from a foot fetish site.

gotta love the internet.

I'm not tryin to sound like an asshole or anything but I'm honestly amazed at the amount of people disturbed by certain things anymore. Perhaps it's because I've seen a lot of really fucked up shit in person and from a young age that things just don't affect me that way, death in particular. If I stumble upon it I just shrug an say whatever, click the lil X in the corner.

That in mind recently there was a gang related shooting at a local high school that actually made the news. A lot of people were "shocked" by it but I wasn't really. It is fucked up that a kid got popped over stupid bullshit but at the same time he shouldn't have been tryin to play gangbanger. I'm not sayin he got what he deserved. Simply that he put himself in that situation.

I'm with you Laurel. The internet has made me numb for horrible images. Seeing stuff like mentioned above in real would probably have a very unhappy effect on me though.

I have no effect what-so-ever. I've seen humans that were burnt to death up close (dad being a fireman an me chasing firetrucks) and the only thing that bothered me was the smell after the first. I think though it's really a good thing for me cause when my mum fell and split her head open last year I didn't panic. I did what had to be done while the medics took their sweet ass time.

I hope I never become numb to such things.

I'm hoping for a pizza.

A pizza sounds good right about now.
I wish i was having some for supper.

I wish I was having 70 virgins for supper.

Awww who locked the Delete Me thread?
That was totally uncalled for.

I'll give you one guess who it was, and I can say it was not me.

Wasn't me either.

So Nep is Pinocchio then?
(Just kidding)

I don't really care anyways.
I was waiting for a reason for you guys to lock it up.

Don't make me open it again ;).

yay, I got my birth year in post count!

I'm fucking sick again.

That sucks, dude.  What do you have?

Just a stupid bug.  I'm all light headed, my throat hurts, feel like I'm going to throw up, and have a fever.

I am sick again too.
I have been sick more times in the last few months than i have been in over a year.

I just have a head cold now but i had something similair to what Freak has from last friday thru monday or tuesday.

so basically this board is just a bunch of sickos?

my suspicions have been confirmed.

Arr's avatar looks like Ocelot from MGS3

That's an insult.

I wish I was as cool as the guy in your avatar.

Yeah, me too. He was super awesome. Shot 80 planes down in World War 1.

yeah but he got shot down by Snoopy.

Screw Snoopy, the filthy little rat.

Your just angry that your amazing icon got shot down by a cartoon dog who has questionable dancing skills.

I think you're mixing up reality with cartoons.

Here is a question for those of you across the pond.

Did the European news agencies cover anything about Terri Schiavo?
The subject was literally beaten to death over here.

Yeah, they did. And I haven't heard a positive word about the way the USA handled it. Sometimes it really seems like you are stuck in the middle ages.

It was mostly like: 'jesus christ, look at what those Americans are making a fuss about this time'

Well, I'm glad it's finally over.  I certainly would hope that if something like that ever happens to me, my family doesn't try to keep me alive on a tube for seventeen years.  Thankfully, I know my parents aren't that crazy.

In my opinion, it seems like we treat sick pets better than this. (At least we don't starve them to death.)  But I am not quite sure what you mean by "stuck in the middle ages."  

On the other hand, do the European news agencies ever say anything positive about the US?

Did anyone catch the South Park this week?

With stuck in the middle ages I mean sticking to the religious teachings and letting someone suffer, instead of chosing the rational humanistic way out. If you really cared about 'human life' you wouldn't let someone slowly starve to death for over a week, but just give her a quick injection. And not be pro death penalty.

And my previous remark was mostly the opinion of the people around me. I read lousy newspapers and they have unbiased news. Better newspapers have both negative and positive things to say about happenings in the USA. Of course they're almost always critical, but that's what newspapers are supposed to be (at least the good ones).

Keep in mind though that we don't really get the boring news from the USA. It's nothing personal for us, so something has to happen. And at the moment, with Bush in the house, it's very very easy to be negative and critical about what's going on.

I did, it was really good. Trey Parker and Matt Stone are really good at making a point in a hilarious way. Too bad that in real life the PSP is actually an instrument of Satan, not of God.

So true...

On the topic of a series of completely unrelated thoughts.... part 2....

I owe Mike Fifty Imaginary Dollars. It's much better to owe imaginary money over real money. So, in keeping true to the bet, I give Mike 50 Imaginary RF Generation Dollars. You earned it Mike, I never thought we'd actually advance to the next hole.

huh?

Frisbee golf.  There was a group ahead of us that were almost done at the next hole, and Eddie said we could at least walk over there.  Dave said we couldn't.  I said I bet we could.  He offered to bet me an imaginary $50.  He lost miserably.

I wish hydrobond would just call himself hydrobond.

It is more interesting that he doesn't.

In fact so interesting that you 2 are talking about it :laugh:


....

Its my sons 4th birthday today :birthday:

Happy Birthday Jr,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :birthday: :birthday: :party: :party:

Who???????

My son.... Rick Jr.


tynstar is "Uncle" Scott to my son

Thats who.
It is Capt. Nintendo Jr. Bday today

(http://www.fathertedonline.ukf.net/Images/videostills/fullsize/tom.jpg)

Congratulations :)

Yar. So what games did you get him?

LOL .... He has enough games to play.
I took him to the park twice yesterday and then we went out for ice cream.

Happy Birthday!

Rick told me Jr wanted Doom 3 (XBOX) for his birthday. ;)

haha! kids! get him gta san andreas instead.

If I tell you I want Doom 3 for my b-day will I get it? :P j/k

in the words of my hero Demo Dick:  "Doom on you"

Holy goodness!  My collection is featured this week!

|D |D |D |D |D

Why do you have 2 tvs standing right next to each other?

play games on one, watch TV on the other. double the time wasting experience.

Oh yeah, thats the only way to go and I actually like to think of it as saving time on the time wasting. Although if i watch a movie while i'm playing playstation i usually feel like i have to re-watch it.

I want a couple more TV's for my game room :-/

I have 2 T.V.'s in the same room for gaming.
4 televisions in all. One is a NES combo television though :)

I'd like another tv, because the one I have now doesn't work with light guns. I don't have space/money for an extra tv though.

I have a few reasons for the 2 TV thing.

1. Like Den and Leon said, the TV on the left is for games, and the big TV is for watching movies or something similiar, although I rarely pay attention to the big TV.
2. When your TV is as close to your couch as mine is, you need a smaller TV or the games look all pixelized.  (This is more for next-gen stuff than anything.)
3. And, finally, when I have other people over to play games, we don't all get a good view of the small TV, so I have a split signal going to both TVs.  That way I can get a view of the small TV, and everybody else can get a view of the big TV.

And those are my reasons.  |D

If i had the room i would have kept my old TV for older systems.

When i have my own place i want to have each system hooked up to a TV from around the time period it was released.
I could get one of those cool huge TVs with the wooden cases then.
That is a long time away though and i may change my mind on that just because newer bigger TVs are what i really like.

Eventually I plan to have about 3 TV's in my game room (when I move into a bigger place).  I want about a 36 inch to play most of my games on, a 20 inch TV/VCR/DVD combo for watching movies and sports  while I am playing games and one of the old console TV's from the 60's to play older systems on (like Atari and Intellivision).

I could probably find a use for another 25 incher too, but that might be overkill....

On my big TV I can split the screen. So i can watch TV on oneside and play a game on the other side.

Why would you want to watch tv and play a game at the same time? Games or tv-shows that aren't worthy of all my attention aren't worth playing or watching at all.

Well when I split my screen I had the NFL Playoffs on one side and teh XBox on the other. I dont really care all that much about football but I still wanted to know the score. Once the Eagles started kicking ass and teh game was over I just went back to the XBox on the TV with no split.

It's different if you are watching sports. I can keep track without paying full attention. Like Tynstar said, it's mostly just to keep track of the score.

I would do the split screen during commercials myself if i was watching a show i wanted tto see.

There hasnt been any posts on this board recently, so I thought it necessary to notify everyone that the Webmaster is a bloody, bloody douche, and he knows why.

NOTE: The Webmaster suggested the term bloody, bloody douche. That's right, Fearless Leader.

BAD

OH DEAR GOD!! SOMEONE DOUBTS THE LEADER!!!

I just wish he didn't ask me to "rate this game" in AIM, where "this game" just happened to be the Tubgirl. Didn't expect it from that Mike, but would have expected it from another, more Evil Leon

LOL

That is wrong on so many levels.
But how could you be so easily duped is my question?

*swoon* I'm so going to mary Nep.

Because I know Mike from a long long time back, and I thought it wouldn't be something that he would have done. I guess though that he has been influenced by Leon way too much.

Ha ha!  I'm pointing and laughing (still).

Eh, at least you don't do half the things that the other Mike does.

ugh. just what exactly IS going on in Ohio?

You don't wanna know.

That is too funny!!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

So what is everyone doing today?  I get to go to work for nine hours, and then I'll probably come home and do some stuff for the site.

Thank goodness it's cloudy and rainy out today.  This makes me happy.

I am at work now ::) Dont feel doing much , but the kiddos around here broke a couple of things >:(

Now I gotta actually do something :-/


Later I have to prepare to send out my federal taxes and play some Halo of course :P

If the weather clears up im gonna go get a pano of the engineering mall.  Other than that, I have two classes today starting at 3:30 pm.  So to answer your question, not too much. :-)

Since you are not an employee, can you take pictures of the store without getting in trouble?

I have to work until 5.  After that I am going to the gym for about an hour.  Once I'm done with that, I am going to try to play some Halo online.  Of course, one of my friends owes me $90, so I should go collect from him but my girlfriend has class tonight so it is my chance to play video games.

After I get off  work in 7 hours I have to fertalize my yard. Then do some research on some ebay items.  Then I hope to start scanning some 7800 games.

I'm working till 5. after that dinner and then I'm off to hit a few thrifts on the way to floor hockey.

Floor hockey? What you cant skate?  ;)

Damn .... That reminds me. I have to spray for weeds :(

At lunch I noticed a sign for a new Thrift store right down the block from the one I usually stop at during lunch.  A brand new hunting ground, I can hardly wait.  Only problem is it won't be only until the end of the month.

nah, I'm just cheap. don't have to pay for ice time or equipment. just show up with a stick and 5 bucks and I'm good to go.

Is the stick a broom?  :laugh:

Roller hockey is relatively cheap.... Around here it runs about 13 dollars a game (130 dollars a season)

Ice is way too expensive anymore :( I may do ice again once my son starts playing in ice hockey leagues.....

Today I went to school, then I went and attempted (unsuccesfully) to do a project with some buddies.  After that I came home and a friend of mine dropped off a copy of Donkey Kong Country that I had him buy for me, and now I'll be sitting at home doing whatever until I go to sleep.  Exciting, eh?

There is a very popular game at Miami University called broomball.  It is played in tennis shoes on an ice hockey rink with a ball and everyone has a broom.  I never did play it while I was there, but many people did.

I went to work at 6:30 in the morning to the wonderful intersection of Carother's Road and Grand Avenue in wonderful Newport, Kentucky. There from 7-9 I counted traffic at the intersection from the comfort of my car, while avoiding the rain and listening to Howard Stern. Afterwards I got paid to drive back to the office 30 minutes away in beautiful historic Mason, Ohio. There I drew schematic drawings of two intersections in the downtown area of Mason for a study that we are doing. Somewhere in there I also went to Wendy's for a lunch, hoping it would qualm my aching headache. It didn't work. Afterwards I returned to the intersection in Newport with my boss behind me, where we surveyed the next two rounds of counts. After that I made some chicken scratch schematic drawings of the count regions, and then headed to the Bank to put money into my checking account. After finding downtown Ft. Thomas, which is a very lovely and charming town, I returned once again to the intersection that I was at in the Morning and counted traffic from 4-6. Once that was complete, I decided that it was time to get my copy of Harvey Birdman: Season 1, and I headed towards the Best Buy that I worked at. After racing up 471 into Ohio, driving through the trench that is Fort Washington Way, galloping along the Sixth St. Expressway, meandering up Warsaw Ave., and cruising down Glenway Ave. I finally made it to Best Buy, where I bought the DVD I wanted for 21.99, thanks Circuit City pricematch! From Best Buy I headed back down Glenway, turned onto Guerley, then Sunset, then QueenCity, then the Viaduct, then McMillian, from which I entered not so lovely Clifton Heights, arriving at my apartment shortly afterwards. Once there I had a conversation with the Black Perl, and then I saw this thread, of which I am replying to currently.

Now how the hell was everyone else's day?  

Eh i had a half way decent day.
Like CFB i just attempt to do school work and will now mope around till i go to sleep.
Maybe work in an hour to 30 min of Halo 2 before i go to sleep.
I really need to start playing other games....

I got to lift giant pieces of carved granite all day.  It sucked a lot.

Ouch...that does not sound like fun.

I don't think thats as bad as the  Australian Xbox Classics covers (their version of Platinum Hits)
(http://i7.ebayimg.com/03/i/03/ce/a4/8b_1_b.JPG)

That was big around here in the mid-eighties, I even had special shoes for playing.  They had soft rubber soles with little tiny suction cups.  I played in a co-ed league where we used a regular broom that was taped up, and a mens league where we used special brooms that were cut short and dipped in orange plastic.  I even have a trophy around here somewhere from our team winning the co-ed league one season.  I haven't thought about that in years, those were fun times.

My day was ack. Started really good. My sleep deprived ass drove to Pitcairn an picked up my buddy. He's in from LA an stayin with his bitch. Neither of us had any idea what the hell we wanted to do an he made a wise crack about the pr0n shop so I took him to the biggest one in the Pittsburgh area. He'd never been to one and was amazed and embarrassed as hell...lmfao After that we went game hunting, then to Eat n Park, back to my place to check out my games, an then back to Pitcairn. Picked my mom up from the hospital an brought her home today. Then things went downhill fast.

I hadn't slept much so I took a nap. Got woke up by my brother screamin, yellin, an throwin my N-Gage. From the 2 mins it took me to get outta bed he destroyed my keyboard. Went downstairs an found out he destroyed and threw out some of my standees, posters, and a few games. Ended up havin to lock myself in my game room and barricade the door just so I didn't get beat down. I really dunno why he's such a hateful lil bastard but he sure as hell likes to make my life miserable. I'm not gettin into more details but I damn near threw some clothes in a backpack an was gonna go stay in a shelter or some shit till I found somewhere to go. I really ain't got nowhere to go though, least not in the Burgh. Can't call the cops on his ass either cause even my mom said she'd get his back.

I could leave right now but I have nowhere to put my games. My games are the only thing I got in this world so ain't no way in hell I'm leavin em behind. Any time you think your life fucking sucks just think it really could be worse. You could be me.

Your brother should eat a bullet!  :flamethrower: :ar15s: :shooting: :cannon: :sniper: :cussing: :ninja:

Heh, he's actually the second nicest of my 6 siblings.

Well it is a good thing guns are called "six shooters"
|D

LOL!!! I really ain't tryin to go to jail though. Even though it prolly ain't so bad really. Get free cable and 3 meals a day.

no, you don't want to go to jail. have him committed.

btw, I had a hatrick while running around with my "broom" last night.

A couple of my friends blay broom hockey, but they always play it when I have shit to do so I can never go.  :(

@Anti, that's pretty fucked up.  If you pay for my plane fare I'll come down there and straighten him up for you.  |D

Congrats! I assume you mean 3 goals and not 3 beers
;)

@ Sauza - thanks for the offer man but Dime is fucking insane. He doesn't need an ass beatin he needs a Thorozine drip...lol Somethin I didn't mention was his bitch. I strongly dislike her cause she went so far as to say "smash her games, that'll get her attention". It's like WTF cu.t? I don't go in their house an smash their shit. I don't go in their house at all. Actually what I think I'mma do is call my cousin. He's one of the big boys (and very gung ho) in the drug and gang task force. Just be like hey Jimmy I know where you can get a promotion worthy bust...hehe Dime already got a strike against him there cause of his arrest last April. I think some real time might straighten him up a bit.

So we just had the first visit from the homecare nurse. The lady was pretty nice and had family with parkinsons so she understood perfectly what's goin on. Looks like we'll get a permanant nurse on Sat and she'll be comin twice a week. This is good news cause she gets to do all the crap I disklike...lol ;)

Yeah we have over 7000 posts in the idle chatter forum. This is 7001!

And now it's 7002. I think today I'll go pick up a new shelf for my bed room for my current console games. I have no room to put any more shelves in my game room and the current ones are 90% full. Once I get everything put away there won't be anywhere to put any more stuff!

We did some hardcore spring cleaning in the dining room which we just use for storage yesterday. What I've been wanting to do is go through all the boxes down there and get rid of crap, get shelves goin all the way around it. I'mma start that long overdue project soon as the game room and my bed room are done :girl: But what to do once there's no room down there too? Anyone else have that problem? Where and how the hell should I store games that won't fit on shelves after that? Moving seems to be the only logical solution...lol

Me an my dad were discussing my soon to be former neighbor. She's a really whacked out bitch. Anyway, he was like "She goes places no man has gone before, even Star Trek don't go that fuckin far"...lmfao  I dunno. Thought that was funny enough to share :girl:

I moved thats how I fixed that problem.
:-/

I ran out of space along tim ago too.
You have alot more stuff than i do but I just had to move stuff out of site.
I had some shelves double stacked so i could get it all up.
Now i don't have a computer desk anymore so that opened up alot of space.
I figure once i run out i am just going to have to bring stuff to my dads and try and find space in his house. Or i can let people borrow stuff just so i have more space.

I can't get anymore stands because i would have to fold them and put them in my already full closet.
My shelves are all completely full. I might be able to fit another 50-100 games under my bead into tupperware boxes.(Double that number if i got really needy)

Send me your boxed Colecovision and that would free up some space.  :P

If I don't move into my own place soon, I will be completely out of room for everything.  As it stands right now, I need to buy two more big ass book cases, and then I may be completely out of room.  I did just recently get a glass front display case recently though.  |D

I can barely walk in my game room now.

Then again, you can barely walk anyway.

true, I prefer to run.

I would prefer to scale it, the mountainous piles of gaming goodness that is.

it WOULD be a pretty big mountain.

You'd break the games if you were to climb it. I'm not fond of this mountain idea at all.

maybe i'll just build a fort out of them

I like the fort one.

Wasn't there someone who build a table out of SMB/Duck Hunt carts?
Wasn't said person from DP?

I remember a guy who made armor out of SMB/Duck Hunt carts.

I want to do something like that. Maybe someone will give me a truckloaad of carts on the way home from school.

I would love a truckload of carts.  Anyone who wants to drop one off at my place of residence is more than welcome.
|D |D |D

I haven't posted in this thread in a few days.  Hi, everyone.

sup

Hi there.

Hi  :gay:

mornin'

So I am having a shitty morning....

My brother calls me and said our Uncle passed away this morning. My Dad is pretty upset and I had to get ahold of our brother in Iraq to let him know about it.

sad time for the Johnson's  :'(

sorry to hear that Cap. you have my condolences. I'm sure the rest of the gang here will be thinking of you too.

That really sucks man.
Hopefully nothing else will happen to compound with that.
Best of luck with everything else.

I'm sorry to hear that man.  

LIFE
I think that I shall never see...
3000 years ago the world was a giant place. Expansive forests untouched lands.
Skies were for the birds, trees were forever and nature's worst invention had yet to form a plan.
But our population grew and with it grew ambition and desire to conquer all we can and
Own what we cannot, throw the unnecessary away.
Today only 5% of the forests in our country exist of what there was just 200 years ago and beautiful feats of nature formed by
Thousands of patient practice are destroyed without a second thought for "precious" resources that will make the
Economy grow. My grandparents had never seen a plane, a skyscraper or a motor car or a cell phone or t.v.
My parents worked so hard to destroy the gifts given to us now my grandchildren will never see a tree.
Someday I'll take a small child down to the last grass covered hill in my town and say, "the whole world was once like this and more."
But words and photographs won't make them understand. The dinosaurs have been around for thousands of more years than we could
Ever hope to be and isn't it ironic we're the ones destroying the earth instead of the planet killing me.
A friend of mine use to deep sea dive but he doesn't do it anymore. He gets tears in his eyes when you ask him why and says,
"The ugliest stretch of ocean floor ten years ago is a thousand times more beautiful than the most beautiful today."
That was ten years ago. Only ten fuckin' years ago.



this poem is one of my all time favorites, it's on the back of my 'The Broadways' record. I like it because it holds a lot of truth to it. Humans are nature's worst creation. With the exception of the ice age there is no natural disaster that has caused more damage to the planet than humans have. Humans transport animals from one continent to the next introducing them to a world where they have no natural predators. The Red Fox was transported to Australia from England for fox hunts and has now caused the extinction of several animal species. Pigs that were introduced to Australia are killing off the crocodiles. At one point there were nine California condors in alive. Nine! For an entire fucking species! Now there is something like 16. When Lewis and Clark were traveling to the northwest they would kill a buffalo and only use the tong. During the early days of the transcontinental railroad passengers on the trains would pass Buffalo, stick their guns out and just slaughter, them and leave the corpses to rot. No other animal has Slavery. No other animal has created or dropped nuclear bombs. We have the technology to create cars with that don't use oil so we won't need to drill for it and destroy the planet.

Sorry, along with being my favorite it also gets me to think about stuff like that which really gets me pissed off and riled up.

Thanks everybody. After a bit of crying yesterday and talking with family everything is a bit better. Going to take some breavment time from work and hang out with family coming in from around the U.S.

Thanks again for your thoughts :)

My condoleances. May I ask what the cause of his death was?

Still under investigation , but it is thought to be an allergy attack of sorts along with his asthma (spelling?

I guess we should know more today.



Thanks Arrr

I'm really sorry to hear that, Rick.  My thoughts will be with you and your family.

Thanks Mike its good to know I have all of these Reverends here at rfgen thinking of my family.

But seriously , it is nice to have alot of my family flying into town , but I wish it werent for a member's death... :(

I do however have time off this week from work (sort of) :-/


Thanks again everybody.


How about some happy thoughts or news for the thread though..... Anybody ?

Some happy news : I just saved 15% on auto insurance by switching to Geico.  |D

And I am also half way donbe scanning my 7800 collection.

I guess having a new pope is good news for you catholics out there.

Woops, not me.

Me and Scott just were chatting about scanning all of my extra SNES boxes and manuals :o

Thats a whole lot of scanning.

It would make me very, very happy.  I'd smile for a long time.

Everybody knows that's a lie. You never smile.

What if that made him smile thenm?
If he never smiles his face might crack or something.
Don't do it Arizona boys.You might kill him.

The day Nep smiles, the apocalypse will be upon us.

I would respond that I am laughing at this, but I guess you guys wouldn't believe me....  Hmm....

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. The riders! They're coming!

Damn ... Iguess I shouldnt tell him that we need to also scan my 400 complete NES games and hundreds of loose cart, boxes and manuals for NES as well...... I really need to sell a few things to buy a scanner :(

I'm at school, I have to wait another 3 hours till my exam and I'm bored out of my head. :fap:

I hate it when the grounds from coffe end up in your cup.  I can't drink anything that has something floating in it.

How about some supermodels floating in a tub full of champagne?

It depends, have they washed thier nether-regions?

Washed and waxed. Nothing worse than a hair in your drink.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Thanks alot Mike.  You killed us all.

If they haven't you could lick em clean.

The end of the world and dirty nether region licking.
one and the same IMO

Wouldn't they lose their dirtyness after being soaked in the alcohol for some time?

I have no comment to respond to this.  None.

champagne & tacos! yummy!

It's too bad tacos always come with tons of horrible, horrible problems afterwards.

not if you have the proper constitution for such dining habits.

Fork and knife?

I think he means a condom.

Wrapped around his tongue?

ah your right.....dental dam for that.

Oh no, the dining habits or constitution aren't the problem.  It's just that later on, eating too many tacos will come back to haunt you.  It could come in the form of a heart attack, high blood pressure, or even worse - castration.  (Often, the buildup can take years, but sometimes it can come suddenly and unexpectedly.)  Tacos are the best, yet the worst.

Plus, the hot sauce always seems to get all over the place.

I blame the mexicans personally.

......

wow, not a pretty thing to come back to...

Tacos and Nether-regions.....

tacos are good... as are chimichangas....

for any animal crossing fans out there:

http://www.zeldacomic.net/acarc.html

LOL
Thoise comics were fricken wierd.
Some of them had really good art too.

same thing really.

Funny stuff.  Animal crossing was my favorite game for about 2 months, then it got really boring.  That game requires way too much involvement for me.

Only thing is one person has the taco the other supplies the meaty filling.

I wish I was dead, so they could put my brain into a robot.

(http://www.afireinside.org/archive/remember_kids.jpg)

for a less bloody method
(http://gallery.hd.org/_exhibits/maths/knot-hangmans-noose-black-backdrop-18mm-manila-2-AJHD.jpg)

The only way to be turned into a robot, is being killed by a robot.

Come on, Anthony....  Get with the program:

[img width=300]http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/images/razor2.gif[/img]

LOL i never saw that one Mike.

The rest of this is for Marks need a robot to kill me to get a robot body.
Get this robot (yes that is a coca cola nazi robot story here http://67.19.85.90/archive/148.html)
(http://67.19.85.90/archive/coca_cola_nazi_robot.jpg)

and here is an awesome robot body waiting on a brain
http://web.umr.edu/~mguthrie/killerobot.jpg

That is the coolest robot I have ever seen.  Ever.

and that's not likely to happen if you never leave your room.

I am working on a friends PC. As soon as you turn it on the CPU usage goes to 100%.

I hate computers.

At least you aren't being forced into purchasing a $2,000 crApple PowerBook.

At least yours will work.

DAP requires a mac?
Damn, I thought people knew that Apple had lost the edge when it came to image processing.  Granted the RISC architecture is still much more efficient, but AMD and Intel had just pushed the clock high enough to negate the advantages of elegent architecture.   Anyways, the dual cores should be out this summer, and that will widen the gap even more.  

You forgot the second (or first) A in DAAP, the College of Design, Art, Architecture, and Planning.

DAAP-- Where creative people go when they don't want to have a life.

Oh my, Im fallible?

Someone also forgot the first I in Cincinnati:

(http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/sports/slideshow/cards2005.nsf/show/5157254EF592D4E986256FE2002012C3/$FILE/photo6.jpg )

So that's how you misspell, Cincinnatti, Cinncinnati, Cinncinnatti, Cincinnasty, Daytonnati, Daytonati, Daytonatti, Cinci-Dayton, Cincinnati, Oh that's right, the Greater Covington name!

This is almost correct.  The only problem with it is that I already don't have a life.

Touche, salesman.

At least you aren't the only one in that boat.

Yeah, that's very true.  If I was, I'd be in really big trouble.

You could always sell your soul to satan for 28 hour days so you can fit everything in.  

I probably will if I ever meet him....  Oh wait, I did.  He often takes the form of seemingly attractive young women.  Then, they suck the life out of you and destroy you.  I never got the offer for the 28 hour days though.

hmmm, sounds like someone may be a little bitter about a recent breakup?

Bitter, yes, recent, no. At least as far as I know.  
Unless there was another one since then.

Aren't we all bitter here? I know I am.

So am I.

not me I'm sweet!

It's normal to be bitter. False happiness is crap.

Bitter about a relationship?  Nah.  Girls are just the worst.

You sound like my friend.

Except he is going to prom and hates all women now. Don't know what for sure happened with him and his girlfriend though.
He said he is joining the Dark side. Or Rainbow side i guess it would be more approriately named.

On a happier note(for me atleast) i am getting out 3 hours 4 minutes early friday(11:05) because of the jr. prom i am not going to.

On another note i am going to miss the prom afterparty because it is my bday and i don't want to spend it in the middle of the woods with 70+ people.
Probably half of them i don't care to be around because they are 2 faces who live lies, jackasses, or just generally annoying.
The other half are cool to hang around with.

Well, that's going way too far.  I'd rather create a doomsday machine.

I'm all for it.
You could build it. Sell it to a terrorist nation who would not know how to use it. Make a big scene about it thusly gaining media attention. (They have a doomsday machine they are going to blow up the world!! etc etc) Get the weapon back from them and destroy it. Earning you the Nobel Peace Prize and lots o money and fame.
Alot of work for a temp. solution but just doomsdaying the world wouldn't be cool enough

you just need to meet some naughty girls.

mmmm, naughty girls.

Well, that's the problem.  I always seem to meet the bad ones, whereas I just want a good one.

I want a good one and a bad one and a naughty one and dark one and a light one. No fat ones though. Or old ones.

to quote the great Samantha Fox - "naughty girls need love too."


Arrrr - how old is too old?

80

Is that in dog years?

So does that make him a pedophile or a beastialist?

I hate shaving.

Shaving doesn't really bother me anymore.  Now I don't even use shaving cream or water and I still don't' even feel it.

Do you shave against the hairgrowth? I don't, and even then I need cream and water and quite possibly still fuck up. I've got the skin of a baby.

No, I shave with the hair growth.  I've never cut myself, and my skin is just as smooth as ever.

Well, at least I have constant stubble, which makes me look like a bad ass (bum/lazy geek).

You win this round my European friend.  I only need to shave like once or twice a week (tops).

I only shave once a week if someone comments on my "dirty lip"
Other wise i don't really care.

As for shaving dry. Ouch
The only time i ever sit myself shaving was once and that was when i was shaving my head.
I skinned about a dimes worth of skin off from behind my ear.

I have to shave every day. I can grow a full beard and mustache in a week. I guess that's why I've had some form of facial or another since I graduated high school.

I usually have to shave, at the most, once a week.  And even if I do need to shave, I don't care that much about how I look, so I'll usually wait a couple days.

Adults try to shelter kids way too much.  I found out that in a lot of grade schools across the country are banning the games Tag and dodge ball, and replacing them with "the circle of friends game".  They're also telling teachers not to mark the kids' papers with red ink because it's a negative color.  Instead they're suppose to use lavender.  Also little league base ball and tee ball teams are being told not to keep score.   That's just going way too far.  

Does that actually happen?

They don't have dodgeball any more in alot of schools because it is too "dangerous".

And i heard the same thing about the pens but i really hope noone has done that.
Jay Leno actually talked about the pen thing too.

When we used to play dodgeball in elementary school we used those really soft spongy balls. You couldn't possibly hurt anyone with one of those.

We had basket ball sized rubber balls that stung like hell when you got hit, but nobody cared the game was fun.  


Yes it does and it drives me insane.  

I kicked ass at dodge ball. Dodgeball started being banned years a couple years ago. I hate how PC the US is. Bunch of shit.

I kicked ass at dodge ball too.  No one could hit me.

Damn tree huggers and Political correctness can go to hell. Give me dodge ball back damn it. I dont want my son groming up and going to school without dodgeball ::)

Yeah, "tree huggers" have a lot to do with dodgeball.

Just a misused statement  I suppose..... :-/ I dont mind people saving the planet , I just dont like the kind of groups that are extreme.

I probably shouldnt have bunched "Tree huggers" in with political correctness" (correctness....is that a word :P)

I just think the world is full of panzis. Dodgeball man ! DODGEBALL.... OMG are kids can be hurt playing DODGEBALL.... We must make them stop !!!! ::)

Yea, what Rick said! *flings ball at him*

Ever since Columbine, the PC-happy, the religious right, and ultra-conservatives have been gaining power.

Remember the episode of the Simpsons when Marge protested Itchy and Scratchy as being too violent and the creators decided to make them friends where instead of hitting each other they gave each other presents? The show sucked!

Our country is coddling kids too much, imo. How are our kids going to develop the mental toughness that they will need in life if they don't understand competition and the sportsmanship that should come from how to handle both winning and losing?

"Circle of friends" game? Is that like Red Rover, Red Rover but instead of keeping others out everyone gets through? Wusses! The next generation is becoming more and more at risk of becoming the "Wuss" generation!

I'm a SAAAD Panda....

dodgeball was the best game in gym class. our gym teacher had some pretty wicked variants on it too. we played one called "Razor Blade" where you couldn't use whatever body part got hit. if you got hit in the leg you had to hop, hit the arm, had to throw with the other, both legs you had to walk on your knees. the only fatalities were head and torso hits.

another version had 3 teams. two lined up on opposite sites of the gym, the 3rd team had to lay on their belly on a dolly and try to roll the length of the gym without getting nailed by the other 2 teams. kind of like running a gauntlet.

ahhh dodgeball, what a blast.

Hey Den, too bad they don't have a 4-player Dodgeball game for xbox. That would be fun!

We had one called medic.  Where each team had 5 kids on dollys and where the medics.  If you got hit you had to call out medic and they had to come tag you and you got back in.  But if the medic got hit though they were out for the rest of the game.

nothing could ever beat the great Super Dodgeball for the NES.

Amen to that!

How is the Dodgeball for the PSX?

I had it at one point.  It was pretty fun, I guess, but only in multiplayer.  It's worth it if you can find it cheap, but I wouldn't pay more than $3-4 for it.

I think Blockbusters still carry it.
I believe it was $9.99 last time i saw it there

yeah it's okay. not quite on par with the NES game though.

Isn't there one for Gameboy Advance too? how is that one?

I have a ROM of the Gameboy Advance one.  I like it a lot.  If you want it I can email it to you, and if you want the emulator for it I have that too.

The place that I play softball and flag football at has a dodgeball league.  I want in.  :D

ooh, sign me up I would love to wing Sauza upside the head with a dodgeball.

damn! slow day.

Too many old people here. They keep things up.

Hey, shut up and get off my lawn you fetus.

*runs off Sazua's lawn*

Wow this thread has been pretty dead for awhile.

I donated blood today.
It was cool.

I'm greedy and like to keep my blood where it is... that and they wont take it for another three months.

Why won't they take yours?

Nice work, my grandmother is in the hospital at the moment and constantly hooked up to a blood suply thing. She gets loads of the stuff. You'd almost think she pisses it out.

I would love to do that, but needles and I don't go so well together.  I'll donate blood if I can figure out some way to get over that, though.

I had blood drawn so many times last year I looked like a junkie.

Ya i don't care for needles either.
But when they put the needle in to get the blood it only hurts for a few seconds at the most.
Other than that it is no biggy.

I donated at school though so i had friends to chat with me who were helping work the drive.
If you just go to a Red Cross station i bet it is different.

I'm sure if my buddies were around to talk to, I wouldn't have a problem with it either, but my friends probably won't be around if I donate blood.  My dad has a really rare blood type, so he's donating every chance he gets, and he says it's no big deal going to the Red Cross.  Hopefully I'll get over this needlephobia (that's a technical term right there  ;)) and be able to donate sometime, cause I really would like to.

When I went to Peru, I had to get a load of vaccinations that made me inelligible to donate blood.  The yellow fever shot in particular made a big difference - for ten years after the day I received it, I can't donate blood.  That means I still have about seven years to wait.  Of course by then I'll just renew the shot to go back to South America, so I will probably never donate blood in my life.

You have to wait 6 months after getting a tattoo.

I like donating blood because afterwards you get snacks.  |D

The place that I work has a hemotology lab in it, so I give blood at least once a year.

Way to go, I support anyone who gives blood |D.  I think that I mentioned before about my son who was diagnosed with Leukemia two years ago.  He is doing great now (he just turned 5) and chances are he will recover completely with out any lasting effects, but he did have to have a few transfusions back when he was first diagnosed.  I used to give about once a year but I try to go more often now.

If you don't want to donate blood, how about video games?  After spending a lot of time at the local Children's Hospital I realized they had several systems available for the kids to play (ours had xbox, Playstation, N64 and Genesis), but they didn't have a good supply of games.  I ended up giving them a bunch of extra games I had and a couple of Genesis systems.  And the good part is no needle is required :laugh:

I was in a thrift store or something like that today and picked up a pentium 60, so I could gut it and put my old pentium 3 450 in it and turn it into a linux thing. But it turned out my motherboard didn't fit in it :(. blah.

How much did it set you back?

5 euros. Later tonight I'll have a look at the hard disc that was in it. Maybe there's something fun on it.

I bet there's a treasure map on it!   :pirate:

I'm hoping for some amateur porn :fap:

good luck. the last computer I brought home had nothing more interesting than family recipes on it.

This one had a clean install of windows 95. How dissapointing.

Look into a program called winundelete.
It lets you recall deleted data.
If it goes thru the trashbin or is shift-deleted.

I don't thik this was the one i had before but here is a link to one product if your really interested at what use to be on there.

If they reinstalled windows, they probably formatted the hard disc before hand. It's not like they could throw the previous installation in the trash bin.

This was thie link i thought i posted.
http://www.winrecovery.com/undelete/

It says nothing about formated drives so it probably won't work in your situation.

Besides, it's an 89 mb hard drive. How much home made porn can you store on that?

that's enough for a bunch of low-res scans of poloroids.

True.

It is teh hottest day of the year so far. 110 degress with a humidity of 9%. It is supposed to go up to 113 today.

Crazy fahrenheit.

Ouch...we're (most of the time) lucky to hit 100 during the summer here in Indiana, although I've got the feeling that this is going to be an unusually hot year.

It feels like February here.  All month it's rained every day, and it hasn't gotten above 60 degrees.  Normally it's starting to get warm and sunny around now.

We got into the 80's this weekend.  It's about damn time.

I have to go to work in about 10 minutes.  woo.

I wish i was unenthusiastic about going to work.
I need a job first though......

yeah, having a job would be nice

I've been a working stiff for nearly 20 years now. The majority of the past 16 years in full time jobs. The past 11 at my current place of employment.

Today was my first day at my job.  It was all right, I work 4 hours a day Monday through Thursday and Saturdays and I make $8.00 an hour.  But if things work out these first two weeks I'll be making $9.00 an hour.  My older brother has been working at a Casino for a year and just now got his first raise (to $10.00 an hour) about a month ago.

the first job I had the pay was $3.25 an hour. hell, when I first started here in 1994 my salary was $7.00 an hour.

wanted to get to 1900 today so here is my 1900th post. Yea!

Well the board is screwed up and I have no idea why.  Replies to old topics work fine, but opening a new topic or replying to one of these new topics doesn't work for some reason.  Unfortunately I have to go to work so I can't fix it until I get home this evening.

I think I fixed it.  Yay.

Ahhh ok so thats what jake was talking about with the bopard being screwed up.

Glad to know everything is good again.

Ja.

I'm at work waiting for an excel file on a remote drive to access a database on a remote drive so that I can update the charts on the excel file. God this is taking forever.

Oh yeah and this.....



Totally Unrelated, yes, I know.

So anybody know anything about selling comic books on Ebay?  I have about 250 bronze age comics that I am going to sell and I could use some advice.

Good luck because comic that are not silver age or old seem to fetch no money. Make sure to ship media mail and that about it.

I use ebay to sell the comics I draw/write myself. It's about a guy that's a student at day and sits in his dark room masturbating to scat, while at night he's sleeping.

what's your comic called? "the True Life Adventures of Arrr"?

Don't be ridiculous. I don't sleep at night.

oh right. I'd forgot you were a vampire.

No, he's a Vampiret.  He lives on Pirate Island so he's a pirate, but also a vampire.  Vampire + Pirate = Vampirate.

Vampiret or Vampirate? MAKE UP YOUR MIND MAN!!

Vampiret sounds like Vampirette which I imagine is a female vampire in training, so I would go with Vampirate if I were you.

Ok, now I feel like an idiot.

I bookmarked rfgen on my work computer, so I could check it a few times through the day.  Whenever I went to the page at work, all the new posts were blacked out, as if I had read them before. This bugged me for two days.  Then I finally noticed why it was doing this.

I had bookmarked the 'mark all posts read'  page.  

:-(

LOL

http://www.downsyndromedolls.com/thedolls.html

Wow...I don't know what.....I can't....wow.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

I can't wait till they start making realdolls with the down syndrome.

Dear Lord...that's terrible, Arrr.

I didn't think it was that big of a deal...a bit unusual and maybe something new, but nothing really out of the ordinary.  They make dolls of so many things & people...makes sense that they make them for downsyndrome victims nowadays...

-Speedy

Nep, ever thought of doing this?

(http://img253.exs.cx/img253/9794/turtletat1tv.jpg)

the chicks would hind you iresistable.

I'm not interested in getting any tattoos, so I woulnd't get that done.  Sorry, guys.

That's pertty freaking sweet.

My car's about to run over the 200,000-mile mark.  It's at something like 199,843 or something like that.

I've had mine for 5 years and have yet to hit 40,000 miles. I live pretty close to work.

Speaking of cars, I just got my license!  Go me!

Speaking of cars, I got circumsized this monday.

Sorry to be a bit off subject ,  :P But I wont be posting as much during the summer months because my work load increases by a ton :( I will be working with tynstar to get scans of alot of boxes and manuals however ;) Hopefully I can get some time here and there to do some data input as well....

a little late in life for that sort of thing isn't it? are you saving your foreskin for posterity?

Believe it or not you can post from your home PC!!!!!!!!
:o :o :o :o :o :o :o

And get a scanner damnit!!!!!

Blah ,blah , blah...

And I will get a scanner after my nice raise goes into affect |D

Blah ,blah , blah = Yes I know

That made me laugh heartily, like the Jolly Green Giant.

what about Sprout?
(http://www.animationartgallery.com/images/COM/COMCBB238.gif)

What made you laugh?

Girls can be pretty cool with their breasts and long hair and stuff.

I agree.

don't forget butts, butts are good unless that's what you meant by "stuff".

Butt falls into stuff, just like legs, lips and belly.

It's also pretty cool when they let you in thier houses and then they go to the bathroom and your by yourself so you can steal a bunch of stuff from them.  OMGWTFBBQ!!!!1!111!!!

Why would someone who has something let YOU in her house??

even if she had no stuff (in this case meaning personal possesions, not booty) why would any female let him in her house?

Because I am that damn sexy and irresistable.  That and I can hit them harder than they can hit me.

I know LOTS of girls who could kick your ass.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh, you know girls! What are they like?

they're great! you should meet some. I think you'd like them better than your hand.

Girls have hands too, of course.

And once again: breasts.
http://www.thisistrue.com/saayairie.html

I've seen that before.

she's an attractive gal. it's amazing how little girls develop at an earlier and earlier age. some of it has to do with hormones in milk products. many of the dairy farms pump their cows full of hormones to make them produce more milk. this also ends up in the product you have in your fridge.

my wife was told this by our daughters pediatrition. he said if she drinks a lot of milk and we're concerned about her developing to quickly we should buy organic milk.

Same with chickens, or chicken brests at least.  They inject the chickens with hormones so they produce larger breasts.  So I guess go Amish.  

I'm glad we have tighter rules on adding hormones to cattle here.

Looking at those pics made me feel dirty.  Something about thinking "wow look at the rack on that 11 year old" just doesn't sit well with me.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

good point. and I'm sure there are plenty of other foods that this is the case as well.

yeeeah, that picture upsets me to look at if the article that accompanies it is true.

Calzones are really good.

Calzones are AMAZING!
Its like a self contained pizza.

Before I moved to Noblesville, there was a pizza place where, for $5, you could get a calzone that was basically a medium pizza folded in half.  I loved those things.  Of course, said pizza place is only about a 20-30 minute drive from my house (if that), so I could easily go there and get another calzone.  Oh well.

Was chatting with a DP member via MSN last night and he (cruzway) decided to sign up here at rfgen  |D

I told him about the fantastic tracking tools and some of the site  features... Anyhow , if you read this cruzway welcome aboard !

LaRosa's calzones are really good.

"Calzones" like the pzone (pizza hut) suck, and comparatively so do pizzas folded in half.  A true calzone is much better.

I worked at a pizzaria for 5 years back in high school and we used to make all sorts of different calzones.  We made one that tasted exactly like a Burger King Whopper, and a steak calzone.  Wish I still worked there.  Corporate jobs are boring

yeah, but the money I earn being bored all day has bought lots of video games.

And a wife and kid.

heh, well "technically" I didn't buy them though I'm quite sure they are both happy that I'm gainfully employed.

And in Michigan no less, which is the economic black hole of the country from my experiences there.

Everytime I go down to Ohio, I find myself in absolute shock at how cheap most stuff is.  Cigarettes and gas alone are cheap enough to make me consider moving there.

But then you remember it is the home of Ohio State so you stay in MI

Video games seem cheaper in Michigan though.  And, you guys have better choices when it comes to restaurants and video rental stores.  But, entire sections of our cities aren't abandoned, so I guess both places have their merits.

Oh, and we have hills here in southern Ohio.  And curvy roads.  Thank goodness.

If you think cigarettes are cheap in Ohio you should drive to Kentucky.


I see now why people riot in Cincinnati! When you get a parking infracting for your tiny Corolla's back wheel being 13 inches from the curb that sure would infuriate more than just me. I guess from now on I should just drive a Hummer, that would take up the same amount of space that I did.

[hidden style=1 title=What I think right now] HEY CINCINNATI FUCK YOU![/hidden]

Cigarettes in North Carolina are even cheaper.  I drove down to Florida last year with my girlfriend and we stopped by North Carolina to visit friends and I bought like 3 cartons for less than $20 apiece.

I don't know about that, the big KY did have the lowest cigarettes tax in US at 3 cents... that was until June 1st hit. I think that would probably make them cheaper, but then I know nothing of the politics and prices of cigarettes as I do not smoke.

All I know is that in Washington, Cigarettes are something like 5.98 a box.

They are between 5 and 6 soemthign a box here.
I think in the $5-$5.50 range.

This guy should be shot.

shot yes, repeatedly. but only after being ass raped with a Louisville Slugger.

what the fuck is wrong with people.

The guy was from Milford.  I think they put something in the water of there, as there are quite a few strange people in that area of town.  

BTW, Arr, did you stumble upon that site or were you specifically looking at Cincinnati web pages?

I think it is the water. It's too clean, but that's nothing a highway bridge wouldn't take care of.

I stumbled upon it. Didn't even realize it was in cincinnati till you pointed it out.

I hate people. This world needs less people and more animals.

Especially baboons. Those are some hilarious monkeys.

When that guy gets to prison, he won't be alive for any longer than a month.  Prisoners fuck up people who abuse children anyways.  I can only imagine what they will do to this guy.

I hope the guy doesn't get killed i hope he is tourtured for quite some time and dies of  overwhelmingly excruciating  pain.
What a sick bastard.

I like monkeys.

That second one is disturbing.  

wow thats wrong

Did we ever celebrate our 200th member?

We have 208 as of this post.

On to 300!

Hello... Hello this thing on =)

No.

hey that name looks familiar.

/waves hands "These are not the Geondps your looking for"

Your avatar kicks ass.

I sense something here. A presense I've not felt since...

Hey Geon, long time no post.

Yep yep... Same old people still around ? hows everone been ?

Been pretty good.  How about you? Glad to see you stopped by again, Geon.

same old same old..  was cleaning up old pc and found the link so tought Id post some =)

What a time trip.
I think you stopped posting when i started.

Welcome back to the person i never knew.

So Geon, did you ever finish the Sega CD collection?  I know when I last talked with you, you were pretty close, but I can't remember if you ever completed it.

Wow first NES Junkie comes back after a lengthy absence and now Geon.  Who's next Cortex and Mossimo?

Good to see you again!

I doubt Mossimo will.  I was at the mall a few days ago and saw him there and he said he was moving and isn't going to have the Internet.  No big loss though that guy's a dick.

Nepenthean, Yea ive 100% a us collection.. working on imports here and there over 100 MegaCd games now...
SMS was next on my list and I finished that Last December.. Moved on to imports for SMS working on Complete EUR, Brizall sms collection now.. Dreamcast and or Sat are next on my list =)

maybe Lendelin and Canon 44.

Where the hell did you get a US released Sonic and do you have an extra one? That is the only game I need to finish the SMS library.  :'(

Congrats on those collections, Geon.  The Mega CD should be a challenge, though it sounds like you have quite a start on it.  Are you focusing more on Japanese stuff or are you going for PAL games as well?

If you have a list of the games you already have and wouldn't mind us using it to add missing ones to the site, that would be great.  Of course you'd be credited on every game page for any title we add from your list.  Our database has a pretty decent start on Japanese and Euro releases, but it is far from complete right now.

@Tynstar, Sonic was the last game I need as well. Tought I was never going to find it then one day at the store I work at some guy brought in like 65 SMS games sonic happend to be in there. There was much defocation.

@Nep, I can go threw your guys list and see what difrers from mine. tho I'm lazy ;)

I hate you!

well if he shit himself in his excitement I'm sure some got on the games. you don't really want a game with doody on it do you?

SMS Sonic yes. 2600 Combat no. I can always clean the game. :yuck:

Damn  it is hot today.

It was 90 degrees at 7:30 this morning.  It will get to 110 degrees today. The humidity is 15-20%

ugh! imagine what that crap covered SMS Sonic would smell like in 110% heat.

it smells sweet my friend, ooo so sweet

Those HP commercials are friggin awesome.

damn! this thread hasn't had a post in a week.

Yup.

it can't be that we're having discussions with some substance elsewhere.

Maybe we just don't have any disturbing comments for each other.

http://www.womengamers.com/index.php

Enjoy :)

I'm sleepy.  I've been to work an hour early the past three days and stayed late Wednesday and yesterday.  Maybe I'll leave early today.

I finally got my new monitor today :fap:

It's finally the weekend today!

YAaaaay weekend!!!!!!!

I would be excited about the weekend, but I have to work Saturday and (probably) Sunday.  I know my Saturday shift is 5pm-1am, but I have no idea about Sunday.  I work at Meijer, so it was pretty busy today due to it being a holiday weekend, and it's only my second week there right now, but I'm having a great time.  All the people there (except for my manager) are really, really nice.

I'm a cashier, so I get to say "Hello, how are you doing?" and "Did you find everything all right?" a lot.  The only problem with being a cashier is that I'm responsible for all the money in my register, but I can deal with that.  I'm (fairly) responsible.

The cool thing about working the 2nd/3rd shift is that I don't usually have to do too much after about 11:00.  I just stand at the end of the aisle and wait for customers, so I spend a lot of time looking at anything that slightly interests me or that happens to be in the aisle I'm working at.

Anyway, now that I've babbled for a while, I'm going to have to say that I'm really glad I took this job.  It's not too tough, and I work 40 hours this week, so the pay is pretty good too.  I actually sort of look forward to going to work.

Back to the point of my post, I'm actually pretty excited about this weekend.  Not because it's the weekend, but because I'll be doing something I enjoy besides sitting at home.  Yay for the weekend!

-CFB

it's good that you like your job.

on a related topic. I love Meijer's. You can get anything there and it's not evil like Wal-Mart.

with that said I'm off for my Saturday hunt.

cheers!

We don't have Meijer out here.

Meijer and Target are fairly similar, basically a better walmart.

Target doesn't have a full-on grocery store but the rest of the merchandise selection is fairly similar.

Meijer's pretty much just an Indiana-and-the-surrounding-states kind of thing.

I don't know about your cities, but in mine the Meijer is much cleaner and better run than the Wal-Mart.  Then again, the Meijer is also much, much newer than the Wal-Mart, but that doesn't give Wal-Mart an excuse to be lazy about their store maintenance.

Some targets have grovery stores, you just dont find them in large cities because there are often too many grocery stores already.

edit: and yeah, the meijer and target are much cleaner than the wal mart.  But walmart did beat target and meijer to the west side of cincinnati by about 3 years.

And meijer is based in Grand Rapids, MI so its kinda a Michigan and surround states thing. ;-)

I went to a gaming shop and couldn't buy anything because i don't have a job and need to make 100 more bucks to pay for summer school :(
All the extra work and time i put into algebra and i still sucked.
Atleast i don't have to take a math next year...

Target Greatlands do don't they?

must just be the one's in Michigan that don't then.

True, but Meijer stores are mostly in Indiana and the surrounding states.  So Meijer may be based in Michigan, but geographically it's centered in Indiana.  At least I'm pretty sure of that.  I watched a whole video on it in my training, so I should know this stuff, but I doubt I do.

I was watching History Channel ealier and learned that the NAZIs had a stealth bomber and where working on one that would be able to fly to NYC drop a nuke and fly safetly back to germany.
Good thing we kicked there asses before that happened.

But they said that The NAZI's spent less manpower working on the Nuke because they figured the war would be over before they wouldnot have to use the nuke for its original purpose.

They where only half right :)

From what I remember, the German stealth plane was not nearly as good as the stealth planes we have today.  Its radar signiture was reduced from that of a normal plane, but was not invisible, especially to the newer radar systems that were coming out.   What is more shocking is the bomber.  But there was little they could have done with that bomber, as it couldn't have reached much farther inland than NYC (remember though, they would have been coming from the NW, so Maine, Mass and a few other states could have been targets.)  

And the man who proved the atomic bomb could work was German, but he left the country to come to America. :-)

He left germany because he was related to (i don't think he was...) jews.
And he married his cousin and passed up the chance to be the prime minister (or whatever they called it) of Isreal.

But back to the bomber.
It was left sitting in an AeroSpace museum hidden for 40 years and then they took alot of the ideas from that and put them into the B2 Stealth Bomber.

The bomber that was going to come to the US never got finished but its name was something along the line of American Destroyer although.

But after i heard about the NAZIs just stumbling across stealth technology 50ish years before it was made public to the general population i was pretty startled.

They really discovered and created a bunch of things that helped to advance society today (for better or worse) but the way they went about it was definately the worse route.
I am always amazed at the stuff i hear about WW2 technology and other stuff from that time period.

I've been asked to move out this fall with a couple of my friends a couple of days ago.  Damn apartments around here are expensive.  The average rent is between $800 and $1000 a month.

jeez. that's way more than my house payment.

Crybaby, when I was young we paid $10,000 a month for an apartment that was smaller than a restroom and we had to use it with 16 other people. We all slept standing and balanced the children on our heads. But we were darn happy, because there are plenty of people without a roof over their head!

that explains a lot about you.

Well it is a coastal state and its going to be split three ways so it's only going to be somewhere around 250 or 300 dollars depending on where we end up moving in.

Best of luck with that Freak

Hopefully noone ends up perpetually short on their rent.
"Uhh dude i'm kinda short on rent. I can pay you back soon though."
I know someone that happened too.

So do I.  It happened to my older brother, with both his rooms mates. Only one of them actually paid him back.  

why the rush to move out? I stayed home through college and built up a nice bank account. once I was financially sound I moved out. No pressure of living paycheck to paycheck to make rent.

Though I do admit there were times I wished I'd got out on my own sooner.

Good Luck man!

I thought about doing that, but I'm kind of tired of having to ask my mommy if its OK if I stay out past midnight, or if I go see a movie.  I really need to get out of here (both the house and the town).  Although I haven't even mentioned moving out yet.  

On another note, I'm going camping for the first time in about 13 or so years with Phia and her family this Friday.

Have fun camping.
I haven't been in about 6-7 years myself.



Why does my sig get shrunk so much?
(http://www.img.photobucket.com/albums/v633/PDorr3/izret.jpg)

Is Phia Shining Dragon? If so what happened to her? She never posts anymore.

Eh she probably has a life.
That and shes a girl.
Girls don't post here anymore.

Look (i believe) a page back for some fair reasoning.

Yeah she is.  I don't know why she doesn't post here anymore.  

Damn 800 speed film is expensive.  I picked some up for my camera and one roll was like five bucks.  400 speed film is only like $2.50.

Thank God I have a digital camera and I am not a hardcore photographer.

I want to get one, but I can't afford one that's not a point and shoot.  

Non point and shoot digital cameras are really expensive. I'm sure Nep would tell you all about that if he wasn't vacationing in Mexico right now. I wish I could be in Mexico right now, but noooooo, I have summer quarter. At least someday I'll have my degree and be one of those engineer type peoples.

No Problem? That's a problem! --Engineer's Reasoning

One problem. Once you are an engineer, you won't be able to justify a trip to mexico when there are beaches much closer.  Its just a waste to travel all the way to mexico for a beach. :-)

I just bought this camera

http://www.pentaximaging.com/products/product_details/digital_camera--*ist_DS/reqID--3/subsection--digital_slr

this is what I use. though "technically" it belongs to my company I'm the only one who uses it.

http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/olympus/e10-review/

Damn den, now thats a camera.  Though if someone saw you walking around with than high powerd lens on that, they might think you were compensating for something.  Thats one long freeking lens.  

And congrats on the dSLR tynstar.

I bought this (http://www.electroland.com/Productos/S5100.jpg) about 3 months ago.  Its not a dSLR, but the picture quality is still very good, and I absolutely love the 10x zoom.  Hard to find a digital camera that can do that without spending $600+.

Thanks but is more for my wife then me.  :-/

As long as you get to borrow it, does it really matter? :-)

Just thought i would add that Hydrobond has a prety f'ing sweet avatar.

After spending 15 dollars on film and a two and a half-hour, 200+ mile, drive.  I realized that I left the camera on and it had no batteries.

True bit will she let me borrow it.  ;)

Yea, that was really fuckin shitty.



And er... I'm back! -announce?-  

Anyway, I stopped posting for a while cuz I felt weird being on here with the rest of y'all. I love and enjoy video games (and dream of sexing up Link and Zelda together), but I don't collect so I felt kind of... blah blah blah?   :P

Phia.  I think that's only you.  

No :fap:

somebody here collects video games??

Welcome back Dragon. So what that you don't collect video games. I don't collect them either........well nevermind that last part.

Well, what's everyone been up to? Reading back through stuff isn't tell me as much as I'd like it to.

SOe other stuff happened to but i don't care to type anymore.

I got a new monitor and didnt  :fap:

Other then that what Izret said.

Thats not exactly new though, it's been going down for years now. :-)

I dunno if it goes down *that* often, its just that I'm too lazy to put it back up.  Most of the time, someone unplugs it and I don't even notice for a few days.

I took it down two weeks ago because I was upgrading it, and it won't power back on.  I'm working on it right now, but not making much progress.  It's gonna be an eazy fix too, something that I just overlooked, and its really gonna piss me off when I find it.  I know all the parts function, none of them are new.

It should be back up tonight though.  I finally got some free time to put into it. (Working 40+ hours a week eats the time away  :( )

Oh, and welcome back Phia.

And Hydrobond 666 posts now.
He is the devil!!!

Thanks, you devil, you!  :D

Well now, I can't have that, I'll have to bump it up to 667!

As I said earlier, it would be something stupid that I was overlooking.  As it turns out, I was absolutely right.  The RAM that I am using is single sided, and I stumbled across a line in the manual that says "If you are using single sided RAM modules, you MUST only use RAM slots 1 and 3. RAM slots 2 and 4 only support dual sided chips, as per the nForce 2Pro chipset specifications."  I of course had the RAM in slot 4.  Now to reinstall Windows. :-)

LOL
Well glad everything is fixed.
I miss that silly red h

Oh it's not fixed yet, still installing Windows.  Prolly another 30 minutes to an hour before its back up, depending on 1) how many beers I have between then and now, and 2) how soon I install apache.  

...

Wait a minute! Windows just finished installing!!! Now for ethernet drivers!

Ethernet drivers should be quick

What type of server do you have?
Or is it just a mishmosh of stuff you picked up everywhere?

Server == stuff I no longer need when I upgrade my computer.  I put as little money into it as possible.

When it started out it was actually like a server, with a dual pentium 2 board, 512MB of RAM (Hell of a lot 4 years ago.) and a RAID 1 setup.  Since then, it has morphed into a secondary PC gaming box + host for my website.  The RAID is gone, replaced by a total of about .5TB of storage, a GeForce4 and an XP 2500+.  It still has 512MB of RAM, but its PC 3200, for when I decide to bump the FSB up to 400MHz.  

And since this is prolly gonna be a question at some point, I have NO space left on the .5TB drives, as well as NO space left on my computer, which has another .2TB.  (I dl a lot, can you tell?)

And it was more than just ethernet drivers I needed to install, just needed those to get onto the internet and get the latest versions of all the other drivers.

Website should be back up soon though.

Damn...
I wish i had that much space on my PC....
I would fill it up real quick too :)

He prolly won't say, but ask Nep how much space he has used over the years.  I bet its into the multiple TB by now.  He used to go through spindles of CD's at a time.

I dunno maybe i have hit the TB mark myself.
I dloaded atleast 100+ gigs on 56k alone.
And now i cycle "stuff" on my PC on a regular basis.

gah! too much tech stuff, you'll make Phia go away again. now get back to the usual nonsense.

oh, and one other thing. Anthony always spells Phoenix: Pheonix.

Server is back up :-)

Phoenix is confusing, I mean it sounds like the 'E' should be first, but it isn't.  Oh well, just one of the quirky things about English.  

I also always spell definitely definately. I bet TONS of people do that though.
Oh and i always type ya instead of yeah

And how often have i typed Phoenix or Pheonix?
EDIT
Just realized i do it everytime i refer to him........

here was a commercial about a guy...
Guy: I need to shipp a package to Puh-hoe-nix
Clerk: Puh-hoe-nix?
Guy: Ya, you know the capital of Arizona
Lady in line: You mean Phoenix?
Guy Phoenix hehehe
*Everyone exchanges strange looks of disbelieve and is this guy serious.*
*Guy looks embaressed/feels stupid*



Just thought i would add that algebra 2 is no easier the second time thru...
God do i hate this stuff.
Hopefully it will be easier the 3rd time thru in colledge because i am going to have to take it again if i want to take any sciences. Or anything really....

I said Link and Zelda, not just Link.  

Colledge Colledge Colledge Colledge Colledge Colledge Colledge Colledge Colledge Colledge Colledge Colledge Colledge Colledge Colledge

at least we're not talking about servers anymore.

*pokes head in*


Whats going on people? I havent been around much , been too busy at work. Did get abunch of stuff over to Tynstar' for him to scan however :)

Once the school year gets going again I will have some browsing time.   |D

Thats was a month ago. I am still waiting for the rest of the manuals.

Fantasy Football time again!

I had a 500 km trip today through the south of the Netherlands and Germany today. German highways are nice. I managed to go 220 km/h, the car wouldn't go faster :(.

CNNMoney says that 8 of the 10 most polluted suburbs are in Cincinnati. That's some great PR. I am compelled to think it was a smear campaign as some of the burb's listed are most polluted are quite beautiful and affluent. Mason polluted? Bah, how can a town built up from an amusement park and 25 miles from Cincinnati be polluted? That's B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T I say. I'd live there over the smog hell of LA anyday.

And since this is the first post on page 10, I feel obliged to add this...

RFG Fantasy Football! Interested? Click Here (http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=sports;action=display;num=1120851999)

Have a link to the CNN Money article.  I would like to see what their criteria were and how they gathered their data.    

We still have one of the best park systems in the counrty and the cleanest water in the US. (Might still be the world, and that claim may be limited to major cities.)

So is this CNN's way of getting back at us for electing Bush?

I would like to say a few things about CNN Money.

1) They ran an article (http://money.cnn.com/2005/07/11/technology/centerpoint_ibm.reut/index.htm) about internet over powerline which failed to mention that it has been in Cincinnati for about 2 years now.  It is now in full scale deployment, available now in most areas of Cincinnati.  
Cincinnati Post article. (http://www.cincypost.com/2003/04/15/cinergy041503.html)

2) The had a ranking of the best ice cream in the nation, of which Graeter's of Cincinnati was top ranked.  However, they credited Graeter's as being based out of Columbus, OH.  Graeter's only recently opened up operations in Columbus, OH but has been in Cincinnati for over a century.  

3) Top 10 Most Polluted (http://money.cnn.com/best/bplive/topten/polluted.html)    Best Places to Live. (http://money.cnn.com/best/bplive/)

Compare Burlington, KY and West Chester, OH both in Cincy metro.

Burlington, KY comes in #3 most polluted and #79 best places to live.
West Chester, OH comes in at #4 most polluted and #45 best places to live.


anyways /rant.

Some fine print from the article:


So the most polluted cities MUST have grown in the past five years, and have above average income.  Well, guess what, the Cincinnati suburbs are booming right now, the fastest growth in Ohio by far and near the top in the nation.  Plus, the people moving out there are the ones that can build themselves McMansions, which means they are going to have above average income.  Plus, the higher demand for land out there has increased property values, producing a rise in real estate values.

Based only on data for more than 1,300 cities in the Best Places database. Included are cities with population of more than 14,000 with above-average income, population growth and real estate appreciation during the past five years.

So it should be "Most polluted good places"

Yeah, so basically CNN has ruined their reputation as a news source.  

No one's posted in this forum in over 24 hours. Everybody suddenly afraid? I know I am, I'm very afraid...

Lots of new sources destroy their credibility.
Its not hard to do.
But people start listening to those sources again really soon because they are weak.

Thats why TraderJake is afraid.

So what are we talking about? CNN? Oh yes, my my, they sure do suck.

Time to switch topics. Boo AL

Like boo Alabama?

Whats AL?

I believe he's referring to the American League.

sorry, AL won.

I have to work all weekend.  Man I don't want too.

I'm over it.

Working on the weekend sucks. I feel for you though, for the last 4 years I had to work every weekend. Stupid Amusement Park.

I'm off work this weekend, but that's only because I'm getting my wisdom teeth out on Friday.  As of Thursday, I will have worked 9 days in a row. :yuck:

Wow, that completely sucks.  Nine days of work followed by getting the old wisdom teeth pulled.  Ouch.

Are these 9-5 days?

If they are at least you got a bunch of overtime :)
Thats a good thing IMO

Who says having a 9-5 job entitles you to overtime? I can assure you I worked a 10am-12am job 5-6 days a week and I never saw a penny in overtime. Seasonal Employment rules.

WTF?!
No overtime.
Thatsa crime around these parts.
Maybe not but it should be.

I know a bunch of places don't count over time until your full 40 are up though.
So if you work a 12 hour day don't expect 3 hours overtime.

In, Ohio, seasonal employees are not entitled to overtime. Therefore, most people you see at amusement parks that are pulling those 60, 70, 80, 90, or even 109 hour (yes, people do work that) don't see a lick of OT.  

Hooray for America!

Yes, hooray for us!

America:

Taking away your rights and dignity, one day at a time.

I remember dignity. I saw it on tv once, I think.

I lost it four and a half years ago in a horrible accident.

Maybe someday I'll get it back.

I'm pretty sure you'd need a donor for that. Maybe you could kill someone with dignity and steal it from his corpse.

You know, I could, I just could.

Thankfully the Perl lives in the room right next to mine, so it would not be that hard to accomplish.

Not at all.  My hours are completely random with the exception that any given day I work is 8 hours.  My schedule is posted on a bulletin next to the spot where I clock in every Saturday, so I just write it down and post it on my computer monitor.  To give you an idea, here is my schedule for this week:

Sun: 2p-10p
Mon: 11a-7p
Tue: 5p-10p
Wed: 12p-8p
Thu: 11a-7p
Fri: Off (Wisdom Teeth Pulled On This Day)
Sat: Off (Extreme Resting Commences)

And that's a week without any days that go until 1 in the morning, which is what I asked to work anyway.  I'll tell you what, my internal clock is beyond confused, but it's ok.  I'm getting paid!   |D

My normal schedule is 10 AM to 4PM.

My schedule is getting up at 11.30, then do nothing all day, and fall asleep again at 4 am.

Sorry, but you are becoming a traffic engineer.  No dignity for you!  People are going to be cursing you every time there is a traffic jam.  

And I think its time to make a new one of these threads, my work computer can't handle it. :-(

Don't you use the quick reply box?

Usually, yes, but not for a quote.

It's not so bad for me... Anybody else having problems?

not really, it is hanging a tad though.

As far as I can tell, I'm not having any problems at all.

No problems here either.

Eh Actually the first time you go to quote it does take a couple seconds but nothing that bad.

Well... I was going to complain about my 6 hours of dnd (which is a good thing, except that it kept me up until 5.00 am), very few hours of sleep and then my 8.5 hour work shift, and also the fact that I'm working tuesday through saturday this week.... but after all that.. wow, I think I've got the better deal! OO;;

Took 38 seconds to load on the work computer.
Took 8 secodns to load through remote desktop to my computer at home.
If I was in person, it would prolly have loaded in less than 4, so I guess its not a problem.  

Well, at least in my case the stuff I design will not become obsolete 3 months after it is built, some things that you could design.

And here's the motto of transportation engineering:

"Our solutions for today will only become your headaches tomorrow."

You're right, it will be obsolete before it gets built. At least if it is in Ohio.  

And having something go obsolete 3 months after it has been released is called job security. :-)

This Valentine's Day, give her something that will last a lifetime...

Give her aids.

Ahhahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahhahahaahahahhaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It only took my comp bot eight secs to load this but trying to scroll up and down is hell.

Oh my.........hahahahahahahahahahahaha

I've heard that before, but it's still just as terrible and hilarious as always.

To keep the flow going...hahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

I could easily think of worse.

@ Hydro your link isn't working but i am pretty sure i know what that vid is.
Is it the animated one of the kids playing D&D?

I am at a party roll to see if i get drunk!
ARE THERE GIRLS AT THE PARTY?!
Are they hot girls?!
DUDE! Wheres the mountains Dew?

I CAST MAGIC MISSLE!!!

O yes and since everyone else is laughing.
HAhahahahahahahahahahahaahahhaahhaaha
Aids isn't funny though.
It hurts people....

Yeah, there are multiple versions of the video, but that is it.

I'm having real stability problems with the server right now, the northbridge fan is broken, and I think its overheating.  It just stops working randomly.  

I think im gonna put the ole dualie back up, that thing was rock solid.

You know, dr. bold and chocolate don't really go well together. Which is a crying shame because they are both delicious.

Hey everybody, party at my house tonight! You bring the cocaine and the hookers, I'll have the beer and the videogames.

cool! I'll head to mapquest to get driving directions to Pirate Island.

You can only get there by boat. Might I suggest you buy a car-boat, so you won't have to change your mode of transport?

I'll just fly my Dragon there, and bring my ninja buddies.  Maybe we can bridge the gap between pirates and ninjas... or maybe they'll just fight each other.  Either way it'll be cool.

I will bring some robots.
I rememebr watching the fight between Robots and Ninjas on Spongebob.

They even made a plaque to the fallen for their valiant efforts in the war between the Robots and the pirates on Robot Pirate Island.

I wonder what a Ninja on coke would be like....

actually if i just over inflate the tires my car will drive on water so this is not a problem. if I see any mermaids hitchhiking whilst in route I'll be sure to give them a lift.

I'll have to make sure I am there when you try making it to Pirate Island so I can play the sploosh soundbite from Zelda when the car begins to sink.

Alternatively, you could always just blow up his car and play the 'kaboom' sound clip.  And I'm sure no one knows what the hell we are talking  about right now.

This is a way long overdue response, but I'd just like to say that stating that powerline internet is available in "most" areas of Cincinnati is probably very inaccurate.  I don't know a single person who even has the option of getting it.  Jay, you live on a very major road and it has been "coming soon" for months now.  The same has been going on in my neighborhood.  I don't live on a major street, but I am in a very dense neighborhood that likely has high potential for customers.  I am a Cinergy customer, yet when I call the Current people, they can't even find my street.  No service on the major roads nearby, and no forseeable service in the near future.

They really need to get their act together. I've been asking for the service for months, yet they do nothing.

I know zelda is for girls and children.

I know quite a few people with Current, but they are all east siders.  The west side has virtually no Current service because they have been conentrating on the eastern and northern parts of Cincinnati.  You have lived here long enough to know that the west side would be  the last side to get Current.  Oh, and Delhi has it, I'm assuming because Time Warner doesn't have an operation in Delhi so there would be far less competition.  

Additionally, new Current installations have been on hold for quite some time now because Cinergy is being aquired by Duke Energy.  

that is as it should be.

I'm not that crazy.  

It's from the latest Zelda franchise, play it and understand.

I'll think about it.

Don't believe the critics, the cell shading was absolutely stunning.  It was a very enjoyable game, especailly given that everyone thought it was going to be incredibly childish.

Arr your a sick bastard.

WOOT 3900 posts!!!!!

I am such a postwhore...

(http://www.rfgeneration.com/yabbattach/baloo.gif)

I'm sure everyone recognizes Baloo from The Jungle Book. The Fox was from a lesser known DIsney flick. Anyone know it?

Frank and Frey.

Oh, that's the name of the dutch translation. It was The Fox and the Hound in the original title.

The Fox and the Hound.  That was easy.

I expected the movie guru to know.

Well, I knew that one less because I am a movie guru and more because I grew up on Disney movies.  I almost watched it two nights ago for the sake of nostalgia, so it was funny that it came up today....  and wrong.  Thanks, Mark, for spoiling my childhood.

Three cheers for Mark!

Nasty and nice!

my wife and I have pretty much the entire Disney cartoon library. mostly on VHS but we've been replacing them with DVD's as they come out. our daughter loves them too though she seems to favor the less popular ones. the Black Cauldron is her favorite. these are all great movies but damn does Disney have a lot of my money.

I heard some disney dvds are considered rare and fetch quite a price on ebay.

Surreal moment of the year for me
*opens refrigerator, grabs soda, shuts door*
*door pushed back open*
*looks to see whats there*
"Damn pig head in the way"

I wasn't aware we had a 75 pound pig ni the bottom of our refrigerator until that moment.
Didn't even see it when i grabed the soda.

No we do not practice Voodoo it's for a Pigroast/Grad party tomorrow.

maybe the head is to be mounted on a stick in the ground as an offering to the beast.

My grandma asked me to take care of her puppy this weekend.  

Alla Lord of the Flies?
I am pretty sure they already spigotted the poor dead pig.

In other news:
My power went out from 9pm-230 a last night.
It sucked.
But i got a 2ish hours of reading in so it wasn't all bad and i am now almost finished with the book i was reading.
Too bad my little bro grabbed Harry Potter because god knows when he wil finish that.

good to see the younger generation is up on it's literature.

I hope you knew that from the book and not the movie.

Never saw the movie the book was good though.
I read ALOT as a kid.
I am starting to read more again.
Gaming severly cut into my literature intake.

So you are still reading as a kid!

ZING!

yeah, me too. that and watching tv. though lately I've been back on a reading binge.

I'd like to read Lord of the Flies again. I haven't read it since high school, which was before Anthony even existed. though I have have a hard time justifying re-reading stuff when I've still got loads of books I haven't read. I am re-reading the Hitchhikers books at the moment, go figure.

Is it a cute puppy?  I love cute puppies... |D

I'd still have been happy had he known it from the movie, because it is one of the better films of all time.  It's brilliantly made.  The book is definitely a must-read, but the movie is also a must-see for anyone who wants to be knowledgeable in the realm of film history.  What floors me about the film industry is for the billions of dollars people spend on it every year, almost NONE of them know a damn thing about film's roots, developments, history, etc.  Sad.

/rant

P.S.  I'm not pointing anyone out here.  Just ranting in general.

which version of the movie are you referring to? the 1963 black and white release or the 1990 release?

1963

Or the 2034 hologram release?

After the party i had ysterday i have 4 N64 controllers, 2 Xbox and 2 headsets, 2 Playstation, 2 bongos, 2 gcn controlers, 3 powerlpugs and 1 set of A/Vs and my O^2 stuff in a big mass of cables.
Fun.

Oh God...good luck, Izret...you'll need it...

untangling chords, the party after the party.

There was this kid who couldn't of been older than 4 or 5 seeing the The Devils Rejects at the same time I was today.  You'd think his parents would realize that a movie made by Rob Zombie wouldn't be appropriate for someone that young.  The kid started crying about halfway through the movie and they wouldn't take him out of the theater.  What the hell kind of parents would take their kid to see a movie like that?  Granted it wasn't nearly as bad as House of 1000 corpses, but come on.  

parents who want to raise a serial killer?

actually they were probably just clueless as it seems are a lot of parents these days.

So you think the kid wanted to see it, and draged his parents along?

What do the previews look like for this movie?

I bet they were Den and his family.

The would look scary as hel to a young kid.

IThe commercials made it look kinda like a video version of Manhunt IMO.

It's funny you should say this, because when I went to see House of 1000 Corpses, the same exact thing happened.  There was this little kid, about four years old, in the theater with his stupid parents.  There were actually quite a few other kids in the theater as well, around seven or eight years old.  All of them were way too young to be seeing a movie like that, and most of them ended up crying and probably with nightmares for weeks to come.  People are stupid.

I'm sure Arrr will post soon to point out that that was probably me too.

Yeah, since playing a Shrek video game with your daughter and encouraging her to read indicates that obviously you would take her to see an ultra-violent horror movie.

well, he still thinks I live in a trailer too. go figure. I guess your mind can go funny when you never leave your room.

Hey! I opened a window today! I know what the outside is like!

that's a start I suppose.

I am not in Cincinnati.  Can you guess where I am?

The moon?

I know I know... but for me or the Perl to say would almost be like cheating.

I think he's in Idaho. who wouldn't want to got to Idaho?

You're at Laurel's place.

Should see an increase in guest today. I posted a thread in the Buying and selling forum over at DP.

I am selling a loose Caltron 6 in 1 and a complete GAR. I linked pics from my collection over here.. :D

Hit the nail on the head.
I thjink you had an informant though....

Took me less than an hour to sell my extra Caltron 6 in 1  :o

Why is it that you and everyone else on Earth has all sorts of stuff that I want when I don't have any spare cash.  I'm gonna go sulk now.

There is a nice complete GAR still there and DW 2,3,4 loose ;)

It's true.  He probably checked my away message, which any of you could have done.
