I'll have a Dos Equis draft, lime on the side. Oh, congrats. ;)

Iron Greasel 04-18-2005 02:47 PM

Does that mean
a) "Please pile beer in this basket on my head"

b) "I will pay for the beer you drink"
Or perhaps
c) "I am a spammer, and proud of it!"?
It would be a lot simpler if you just ran naked though the underdungeons like normal people.

I think that milan have to paly 3 games behind closed doors. And they says its our fans that are the trouble makers... There's the same thing everywhere seems like.

There is a world of difference between 'Johnnyspam' that amuses and is always worth reading and Spam that bores the tits off everyone ;)

My favorite Johnny post, in response to somebody who shall remain nameless: "You wouldn't like anything that came out of a fighter jet unless it was gumdrops or jellybeans. :D "

Xen 04-19-2005 10:34 AM

Afternoon all. I'm back from school. I didn't pass my exam from Italian but I'm not dissapointed since I didn't study. I am writing it once again on Friday. The last two weeks were pretty tough for me... but on next wednesday vacation start!

Cloudbringer 04-19-2005 11:51 AM

LadyZ, that is one weird monster! LOL is that it's tongue...the blue thing....wait, I don't want to know if it's something else! HAHA!

Is johnny running around naked again? :D Ok, break out the cameras and someone sell tickets! *wonders if the undercaverns are too cold for such romps* ;) LOL!

Mack_Attack 04-19-2005 03:24 PM

Hello all I not to sure how long I will need to wait for a answer but I did not want to start a new thread. But does anyone know the song by daft punk that has the monkey pounding on the desk. I can not rember the name of that song. I am downloading some songs on to my MP3 player. I would like to add that to it.


Any help pleaseeeeeee. ;)

Ladyzekke 04-19-2005 07:34 PM

LOL Cloudy, I assume it's a tongue! Ridiculous looking, cracked me right up when it just lifted up out of the water LOL. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

MackAttack, wish I could help you, but I have no idea. Have you searched the net already?

Mack_Attack 04-19-2005 08:10 PM

No prob Lady yeah I have had a little look around. But no luck. I am sure some music buff will have the answer. ;)

And are you watching AR tonight? [img]smile.gif[/img]

Ladyzekke 04-19-2005 10:18 PM

Yep, just finished watching it, good episode!

Mack_Attack 04-20-2005 12:02 AM

Just finshed watching too good show. Dam camels. ;)

Hivetyrant 04-20-2005 02:13 AM

WooHoo, my first two bids on Ebay and I won both items!! Yay for me!!
lol, I really like ebay so far and I have only been using it for a few hours [img]tongue.gif[/img] But I still dont know if I want to use Paypal, I trust its security and I'm aware of how hard people will try to get my details and what not, but i'm still wary....

Anyways, hi everyone how is youz all? me? Oh im good, about to leave work, gonna go home and set up my other new PC ;)

Variol (Farseer) Elmwood 04-20-2005 06:16 AM

Yeah good luck on that ebay thing. I've had a bad experience the last 2 bids I've won. It's really turned me off for a while. I strongly recommend only buying from "Power Sellers".

Jorath Calar 04-20-2005 07:17 AM

Look out Hive, I started using Ebay some time ago, so far I have been burned on 2 items I bought, thankfully I only buy cheap items so it's not a big loss.

Anyway, don't you guys hate it when you wake up at your usuall time to go to work or school and then realise you have a day off... and can't go to sleep again, because your body is sure you are suppoesed to be at work... grmbl... :( [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Bungleau 04-20-2005 09:54 AM

I'm having a "minor discussion" with the last person I bought something from. He's mad because I gave him neutral feedback... which I gave because after asking for payment, he never responded to any of my emails or questions. Never bothered to let me know the item was shipped or anything. I was at the point of calling eBay and reporting a non-delivered item when it suddenly appeared at my door.

Had another issue where a seller didn't bother to communicate very well. I ended up sending emails to three different addresses (garnered through ebay and other means) to make sure they knew that I knew where they were. The product was eventually delivered, but I'd never buy from them again.

Then again, I've got a few items I'm watching that I'd like to pick up...

Sneaky ebay trick: don't bid on something when you find it. Wait until it's getting close to the end of the auction, and then bid. It's called sniping, and may not be considered fair (and I didn't like it when someone did it to me), but it can get you things at a much lower price.

Variol (Farseer) Elmwood 04-20-2005 06:14 PM

Hey, it's an "Auction"! Anything goes!!!

Attalus 04-20-2005 06:18 PM

Yeah, Lord knows things like that happen at real auctions, especially antiques and real estate. Those people are as serious as a heart attack.

Ladyzekke 04-20-2005 06:24 PM

LOL Bungleau, seems everyone snipes now on E-bay, so not sure if sniping is much of the advantage it used to be anymore. LOL, how successful have you been overall sniping?

Man it is actually hot here today. I wanted spring but I'm not all that fond when the weather goes from the low 60s to 85 LOL. Nobody's used to it so it just feels that much hotter, versus in the summer when 85 feels like a lovely day!

SomeGuy 04-20-2005 07:05 PM

I am a failure.


I got my butt kicked about 40 minutes ago. Give or take a few. I really never took it seriously. It all started when I recieved a message on AIM. I didn't know who it was. Turned out to be a guy who'd I've had bully problems with for awhile. He threatened me, called me a fatass, a lot of other stuff. I just blew it off. He called me and threatened me. Then he said he was going to come over. I said go ahead. I didn't think he was serious. He was. I went outside and fed my dogs, did my chores. Just did the usual chores. I saw him pull up, he called me out. He's a sophomore. I made the mistake of trying to tackle him. Great. Now he can call self-defense. Anyway, he eventually got me on the ground, had me by the throat. "I've had 2 chances to break your nose. Now you can end this now or I'll do it." He tightened his grip on my neck. "Why are you doing this?" "I don't like people talking shit about me." "Go ahead and go."

About this time my neighbor came over and chased him off. I can't thank him enough for that. It really meant something to me. Anyway, he drove off and I went and told my mom. I'll be fine, I just got a nice lump on my forehead and small cut above my eye. I didn't really get any hits in. I got my butt whooped.

He's my mom's best friend's son too. Funny thing is I never said anything about the guy. His hits didn't hurt me physically, but I've lost a bit of my own dignity. I didn't cry out of pain or anything, I just cried because I'm disappointed in my loser self. Seeya. Church calls.

Hey Someguy do not feel bad the guy sounds like a jerk. Just go get a big group of friends and tackel him at night and place some door knobs in a pillow case and beat the living crap out of him. Just do not forget to wear ski masks. ;) [img]smile.gif[/img]

You remind me of the first fight that I had. I got a good old ass whiping. I ended up with two black eyes the next day. But the cool trade off I looked real mean after that. Do not forget ice is your friend after a good fight.

Sir Goulum 04-20-2005 09:45 PM

Heya, Macks! How are you enjoying our fabulous weather here lately? [img]smile.gif[/img]

SomeGuy- This is where it would have been good to have guard dogs. ;)

SomeGuy 04-20-2005 10:19 PM

I have a Lab and a German Shepherd. They were barking the entire time. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Well the aftermath is this. My mom went and talked to his mom, because they're best friends. He's in trouble and his mom apologizes. My dad had a talk with me and said this. "Son, I believe it was a very brave thing that you took on an upperclassman. Stupid, but brave." It made me feel better. A lot of people were on my side when they found out, and well, I feel a little better. I wanted to get a message across to him though. This whole ordeal has been going on for two years. I hate him, he hates me. This was the second time he's threatened to come over and beat me up. Last time I backed out. The point was I wasn't gonna take it anymore. No more shit from him, or anyone. If you wanna pick on me, okay, I'll go down in the dirt with you. I'm sick of it. But now I finally did snap and hey, it happened. I lost, but I think I got my point across.

Sir Goulum 04-20-2005 10:21 PM

Shoulda let them out! ;)

Well, at least he's in trouble for it. There's nothing worse than the bad guy getting away.

Hey Sir G the weather is just amazing. I actually was able to get out for my run in shorts today. ;)

Bungleau 04-20-2005 10:57 PM

Bummer, SomeGuy! I feel for ya -- it's never fun to be involved in a fight, and less fun to get whupped. But at least you made it out in one piece, more or less.

At least you're in the better spot -- he's going to be identified as a guy who picks on people younger and smaller than him. For you... heck, you took on an upperclassman. You're not *supposed* to win, dagnabbit! No shame there... none at all.

Next time... hold off, let him make the first move, and aim for something that will hurt -- throat, nose, eye, *ahem* best buddy. All you need is one shot to land. Don't worry about whether he's hurt or not -- he's bringing it to you, remember? Not your concern.

Hmmm... guess I'm a little bloodthirsty tonight. Sorry ;)

Strange day here. Had to do a web demo for a customer, and the technology crapped out on me midway through. We rescheduled to complete it at the end of the day, and foolish me didn't bother to test things again before then. It still crapped out, but I was finally able to get it to work again. I was cursing and snarling the entire time.... on the plus side, they're making strong buying sounds.

Then I got a call that my dad went in late last night to get his gall bladder removed. He's staying over to have a gall stone removed, and then for a couple of days of observation. So I'm heading out to see him tomorrow for a while to offer some comfort... or something. Fortunately, I've got someone else who can run a meeting for me tomorrow. Such fun...

And today was made *no* easier by picking up a copy of Dungeon Siege yesterday, which kept me up until 2AM (evil, evil game... ;) ). I may get to bed earlier tonight, but I may not :D

Kakero 04-21-2005 10:39 AM

Sometimes, you got to wonder what the telecom company is doing. They offer you broadband service. They charge you exorbitant price for it. And yet the line lags like hell. My wizard in RO keep on dying to these lags. He lose 5% experience. :(

grrr...I feel like chopping someone with my katana.

Dron_Cah 04-21-2005 03:19 PM

Ugh, that sucks Someguy! But, I also think it's good that you made a stand. Perhaps taking up some form of self-defense would be a good idea?

Hey, all, haven't posted here in a little while, been too busy. I'm about to go to my last class of the day, and then I'm free! Only one class tomorrow, a social thing, and I'm heading home for the first time in about a month. Good times! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Jorath Calar 04-21-2005 06:13 PM

Fist day of spring here, officially summer, according to the calendar. We had pretty nice weather although it rained in the afternoon... can't wait for the weekend, no work for 2 whole days... wonder how I should waste it... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Ilander 04-21-2005 08:55 PM

Went to a concert last night! It was wonderful, though I'm really tired today. The band was a modern, sort-of-punk-sort-of-metal-sort-of-just-loud-and-profane band called Mindless Self Indulgence, and the concert took place in the basement of one of the bigger clubs in Louisville. About 600 people showed up (rough estimate), and there was hardly space to clap your hands in that place!

I really enjoyed the show, though. They're good at playing a bit with the audience...plus I didn't have to put up with a lot of pot-smoking (though there was a small amount). I moshed, btw, and went crowd surfing :D :D :D

It was great, though the lack of sleep last night has made me feel like teh crap today.

...edit...

Someguy, sorry to hear about that, dude...oddly enough, though, most of them DO eventually get theirs. There is still some justice left in the world.

Man it got cold here overnight, the high was in the 50s today, yesterday was 85! Talk about going from shorts to sweaters LOL.

Oooo, Bungleau is playing Dungeon Siege! [img]smile.gif[/img] Hey Bungleau, if you want me to host any of your screen shots, let me know, I have lots of Ranchoweb space. [img]smile.gif[/img] Be kinda fun to see some of yours too!
