[Schyma]

Did you know that scientists think all life on earth started from little white worms 100th of cenimeter long that are 3 billion years old?

[Bartender]

I know alot. If you want a lot of dirt go to the pit and search for Spiderman 2. It was a thread I started on opening day (right after I saw it :eek: ) and it has links and a ton of information about Spiderman.

Did it tell you why Spiderman consistently chooses Mary Jane over Black Cat, when clearly Black Cat > Mary Jane?

Because it's pissing me off.

[Dancin' Man]

I like MJ better. I hope Black Cat is in a movie.

[Dancin' Man]

shameless bump.

I wonder if there's ever been an a capella emo group.

[Riva]

What about an a capella Death Metal band? Now that would be interesting to see. :)

[Dancin' Man]

Metal already has Apocolyptica. Emo gets a capella.

[Paranoidd]

WTF is going on...it's summer here and its freezing...mother nature is a bitch.

[superpeer]

Ah, Apocalyptica, seeing them live, next week. :)

[Bartender]

^:(

I like MJ better. I hope Black Cat is in a movie.

Black Cat is so much better. MJ does sod all; if he chose Cat, they could beat up the bad guys together (which they have, and occasionally do, I know, but I mean permanently), plus they could actually go around the city together without him having to forgo the pleasure of swinging around the place. Not to mention Cat actually has a personality.

Ah well, I guess it's just me that thinks so.

[Paranoidd]

You know how pissed I was in the spider man movie?

I kept waiting for him to bang the chick and then the movie is over and nothing happened. The movie JUST finished in the theater and I let out this really loud "What the Fvck?!"

I was very disappointed. I would have hit it.

[superpeer]

Haha, I hate it when you're the only one doing something out loud in the cinema.

Like that time I laughed out loud when the serial killer was drowning his victim.

[Dancin' Man]

Me too. Tobey Maguire in that spandex is hawt :naughty:


That was who you were talking about wasn't it?

[Dancin' Man]

I have a friend who laughed while the Godfather died. It was at a college cinema and she thought the little boy running was so funny and started laughing. Needless to say, she got whacked.

[Paranoidd]

The Godfather has tons of funny parts...I started laughing when the chick is running around the apartment breaking plates and stuff and her husband is like "yeah, break it all, go for it." Then she finishes and he goes "Now, CLEAN IT UP!!!!"

Oh man...toooo funny.

I have the trilogy on DVD man...its too good.

[Bartender]

I laughed quite a lot when Michael's wife gets in his car, going "I drive to you!", and then the car explodes.

[Bartender]

I have the trilogy on DVD man...its too good.

I can't find the damn thing for less than £50 :(

[Paranoidd]

How about this line:

"Listen here you guinea dago"
"I'm German Irish"
"Well then, my Mick Kraut friend"

:lol:

It's not THAT funny, but I piss myself laughing everytime I see it.

[Paranoidd]

I can't find the damn thing for less than £50 :(

Parents bought it for me birthday...I have it on VHS too, so I didn't think buying DVD was a neccessity, but I don't mind having it if I don't have to pay for it.

[Dancin' Man]

hhahahah

Racial Slurs > everything else

[Bartender]

Except Black Cat.

(a)

I really hope they don't put her in one of the movies, actually. Whoever did it wouldn't do it well.

[Paranoidd]

They should have done Venom, that would have been interesting.

[Dancin' Man]

I really doubt female villianesses/heriones since catwoman
The first catwoman was awesome but Halle Barry = Crap

[Dancin' Man]

There are supposed toi be 6 movies. There's still time for Venom. It would take 2 movies though to complete Venom and Carnage.

[Bartender]

I'd rather they went with Kingpin, the Owl, and so on, especially if they did decide to introduce Black Cat.

EDIT: Maybe Quentin Beck.

[Paranoidd]

Talk about a lack of good threads today.

[halfdeadhippo]

I'd rather they went with Kingpin, the Owl, and so on, especially if they did decide to introduce Black Cat.

EDIT: Maybe Quentin Beck.

I doubt they'll put Kingpin in, because they used him for the Daredevil movie. Venom's practically a given for one of the movies, because they introduced Jameson. And I really hope that Carnage makes it into one of them, but I'm not counting on it.

[Fibonacci]

Does anyone here have an inordinate amount of knowledge of Spiderman/comics in general?

Yes.

(sorry, it's been a couple days, need to catch up. Yeah, actually, I didn't start posting on this forum again until three or four days ago, so considering the fact that people I know who started at the same time as me are now at 5,000, I have a helluva a lot of posts to make.)

EDIT:

The Owl?!?! I couldn't stand the Owl. Huge spidey fan, but I still don't have a problem with saying the Owl was a dark time in Spiderman history.

Oh and how I wish that they would include the Venom in one of the six films.

[Bartender]

Well my thinking was that since Doc Ock is gone, if they wanted to introduce Black Cat then the Owl is the way in - she was defeated by the Owl and Doctor Octopus, which is why she went to Kingpin for "real" superpowers..

I haven't seen Daredevil, so I didn't know they'd used Kingpin there. Never mind, then.

[Rage Against The Lavigne]

Talk about a lack of good threads today.

Yeh, lets do that.

I think a sacrifice to the gods is in order to rectify our 'good' thread deficiency. All those with me say aye!

[rockeded not rolleded]

Sup thread?

[Paranoidd]

Don't talk about sacrifice, I've been playing too much Doom 3. That thing is freaky at 4 in the morning with the lights off.

[rockeded not rolleded]

I can just imagine. ooo ooo drop acid and then play it at 4 in the morning with the lights off.

If that doesn't destroy your mind nothing will.

[Paranoidd]

My cat scared the shyt out of me last night...I'm playing a game then all of a sudden my door creaks open by itself (I didn't shut it all the way). So naturally I'm looking eye level and see nothing there. The little bastard made it halfway to my chair before I even noticed him. For a while though, I was pretty tense.

I won't do acid...chemicals are bad.

[Rage Against The Lavigne]

Nobody's quoted me. I'm going to off and cry.

Now-a-days there are tons of chemical in weed. Seriously, they soak it in junk and add powders and such. It's never the pure stuff. But it wont hurt you like acid would. Good call.

I get it from a homegrow op. It's pretty good.

I actually have a good selection available to me.

I can get the homegrow stuff, Biker stuff, or Jamaican stuff.

Biker is probably the best due to chemicals. But like you said, its definitely not acid (well.....probably not).

I was smoking crumbs.

Anybody tried that Salvia stuff?

[HNLzero]

why must people do drugs?

[halfdeadhippo]

Some people do drugs so they can escape from their lives for a while. Some people do drugs so they can see things from a different perspective. Some people do drugs because they think it's cool. Some people do drugs because they believe it'll help them get closer to god. Some people do drugs so they have something to do with their friends. All in all, the reasons vary from person to person.

[superpeer]

And some do it just for fun. I always thought that was the most obvious reason, but no one ever lists it.

[halfdeadhippo]

Well, I was just listing a bunch off the top of my head. I know I forgot a whole bunch of other reasons as well, such as people doing it just because it's offered.

[Paranoidd]

I smoke dope for a few reasons.

One, I have an ulcer that is apparently uncurable. I'm in pain often, anything I eat hurts, and I'll probably be on medication for the rest of my life. Smoking up dulls the pain and gives me a bit more of an appetite (which, as you can imagine, isn't always that good). It also helps me sleep, as I sometimes suffer from insomnia.

Smoking weed = 1 pantoloc (ulcer med), 2 teaspoon of pepto bismol, 1 valium.

It's just alot easier to smoke weed.

Also, I write books, and I like the depressing feeling I get when I'm coming down. Its inspiring, and helps me write. I know that sounds a bit odd.

I'm also pretty sure I'm manic depressive (intense, sudden mood swings) but I've never been clincially diagnosed. Thats a self-diagnosis. Weed chills me a bit.

You know Kurt Cobain had a similar problem to me, and he did heroin and eventually blew his face off.

Considering the circumstances, I don't think I'm doing too bad for myself.


And, it simply feels good, period. Weed isn't even a drug IMHO.

The only downside to weed is I crave cigarettes badly (which irritate my stomach) so I end up smoking like 5 in an hour, and that may or may not hurt later.

[rockeded not rolleded]

For fun is the major reason people do it.

[retarded_monkey]

smoking cigarettes is bad. it makes you breathless and spends good money which could be saved so you could build up ur porno collection. but weed is woooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwww!!! (retarded monkey tur into stoned monkey)

[retarded_monkey]

You don't have get a high off of cigs. They aren't good for anything.

[superpeer]

Hey, cigarettes are fun.

Tastes so awesome after a meal. Non smokers don't understand.

[Paranoidd]

I feel guilty everytime I light up.

Cigarettes 0WN my ulcer, so it hurts alot. I'm not addicted though...I can go a week without having any smokes, doesn't bother me.

But my father died of cancer (not really due to smoking, but thats irrelevant) so I do feel guilt every time I light up.

[superpeer]

Yeah, I'm not very addicted either. I can go days without it, when someone lights one, I want to have one too, but the urge isn't so strong.

[Kingofdudes]

*doesnt do drugs*

There have been a lot of closed threads today eh?

[Paranoidd]

I also feel it neccessary to point something out: the government is a mjor drug dealer.

I'm pretty sure my father was stoned out of mind when he died.
Why? Because he was in extreme pain.
And what do they give you in a situation like that? Morphine.
And what is morphine a derivative of? Opium.
And what else is a derivative of opium? Heroin.

I think it'd be an interesting fact to see how many people were adminstered morphine shortly before their death. How many people died stoned.

If the government feels it appropriate to administer morphine for physical pain, I refuse to believe that I can't smoke some weed to deal with the mental difficulty of existing in the day to day world in which we live in.

It's only fair.


By the way, if you're interested, the above paragraph is the type of stuff my book entails. I write like that. It's fun :D

[Humor99]

I've been smoking a few "Black and Milds" lately, not bad at all.

I hadn't smoked in a month and half before a few days ago, so I'm alright I think.

Nice :thumb:. I think the gov't should legalize weed, for the following reasons

1. It does less damage to a person's lungs than ciggeretes. A stoner will get stoned once a day. A smoker will smoke on average a pack a day.

2. It's not addictive.

3. It does less damage to a person's mind than alchohol yet alcohol is still legal.

4. The gov't could sell it. They would be the biggest dealers in the world. Make soem money and strenthen the economy.

5. People should be able to put whatever they want into their bodies. It's a basic human right.

[Paranoidd]

Alcohol will never be prohibited again. The effect on the economy would be crippling.

Not just that we'd lose on taxes. Think of the doctors, nurses, health care workers, police officers, etc, etc that would lose jobs.

Do you know what would happen if you prohibted alcohol for 50 years? Think how much healthier people would be. How much less crime there would be. We'd need less hospitals. Less people would be dying. Less people would be dying, and just as much would be being born. The world, which is already overpopulated, would become even more overpopulated.

No, I think the government will leave alcohol exactly where it is.

[Bartender]

Holy ****. I should probably check the Pit a bit more often. I mean, I go in there every day, for Forced Listening, but I don't read the vast majority of threads. Only just found out that Leftie has left..he was one of the better posters :(

Also didn't know Spikey's on holiday.

[Paranoidd]

Well I've had in interesting night. One the way home, some jerk plows into the back of my car doing about 40 km/h, airbag goes off in my face, and my car is now a write off.

I have whiplash, the stupid doctor wouldn't give me any opiates, and I probably have to go for physiotherapy.

And the guy who hit me is extremely lucky my female passenger was crying, because I was going to kick the everloving s'hit out of him. Stupid kid.

Actually, there'd be a dramatic increase in crime. I'm not referring to the actual smuggling of the alcohol, I'm referring to the violence and such that would accompany the smuggling. It wasn't a coincidence that there was an increase in organized crime and mafia-related violence during the years of the Prohibition.

Excuse me if the post makes no sense but I'm comfortably numb from smoking three large bowls in order to kill the pain in my neck and back.

Re: MAfia

True, but they would be involved with other stuff anyway. I'm a bit of a mafia historian too. I know my stuff. The mafia would have blown up one way or another.

Now, sure organized crime and stuff may be up, but think of all the other crimes that contribute...even small ones add up.

Vagrancy
Public Drunkeness
Abuse
Murder
Drinking & Driving

etc

People have been known to kill someone in a drunken rage...anything like that would be eliminated.

[rock not rollin']

Nobody's ever heard of someone killing somebody in a stoned range. The person would be too busy trippin' out and being lazy and hungry :p

Oh man I'm looking at some concerts in my area (Toronto).

Where does Phil Collins get off charging $135 per seat?

Maybe for Genesis I'd pay it...but not to hear his solo crap. Jeez...

[Bartender]

Sad thing is, my sister would probably pay the $135. Phil Collins is one of the weak spots in her musical taste.

[chorbalan]

**** anyone know how you can find out if theres concerts in vancouver cuz I've been lookin and i cant see ****....

[Paranoidd]

You can check ticketmaster, or check the specific venues, or check the website of radiostations that play the music you like.

[Dancin' Man]

The trouble with ticketmaster is that you get gouged. Unfortunatly it's hard to find venues not with ticketmaster. No, I'm seeing zero shows soon.

I might see Van Halen next month, it depends if im able to get some money. But I doubt it :upset:

[Dancin' Man]

I've got long gangly fingers so I'm set. Spekkin of which, band practice in 45 minutes.

[Paranoidd]

I'm such a lazy sod. I still suck at guitar, 2 months after getting it. All I have is minimal, minimal speed. I know four chords and zero scales.

I'm more of a "let me screw around until I find a good riff or make a good chord" kinda player. I hate people like me.

[evilmenhavenosongs]

I have long fingers but I think they've become set in their ways from playing the flute and they sort of seize up when I try to put them on all the frets. This meaning I'm very very bad at bass :upset:

[superpeer]

You're supposed to suck if you have been playing for 2 months.

I love looking down on bass, it's funny how it pisses everyone off. :)

[Dancin' Man]

I like bass. It's a load of fun especially playing guitar solos on it. It just sounds so different. UNfortunatly I'm a pretty bad bass player. Guitar is where it's at for me. I sucked for the first 2 years but then I really started playing a lot and writing. Pop punk is the easiest stuff to start on (Weezer is great too) and the I went to grunge and after that I started writing and don't really play other peoples stuff any more (exzcept for acoustic Radiohead). I never actually played anyone elses metal (unless you count Tool and even then I only learned bits and pieces, excluding my acoustic Lateralus which is awesome but not yet recorded) and don't really write metal. I don't actually know what I write. Complex nu-metal maybe? It's got solos and cool progressions but it has the order of a normal numetal song (until about 2/3 the way through when it goes just get's wierd and is packed with interludes and solos and wierd stuff)


Did you like my rant?

[superpeer]

I like bass too, but it's just funny to get the bassists angry.

"It only has 4 strings, it's sooo easy"

"Guitar>Bass"

Ooh, you should see their reactions.

I always make fun of the bassist in my band.

I'll say things like " Turn your volume down, I can almost hear you :mad:" or " go stand in the corner, people don't need to see you, you're playing bass" :)

[evilmenhavenosongs]

I doubt I'm going to ever be any good, I've had my bass about a month and can't actually play anything at a remotely resembling reasonable speed :upset: At leat I don't get chords to learn, and you're right less strings :p

[Paranoidd]

It's probably not as much of a pain in the *** to tune, either. You don't have to worry about drop this and drop that...

Thanks to playing other instruments I at least know theory and can read sheet music etc. Which is a blessing even though tabs often confuse me at the moment.

[Paranoidd]

I can read music, like I know what notes are what, but translating that to my hand for my axe just doesn't happen. And being able to know what notes harmonize, that also doesn't happen. Don't even get me started on scales... :(

[bass_raptor]

Reading music is HARD, esp for guitar because there are different positions on the neck you can use to play the same thing. I gave it a shot once but got bored. I can read music from doing trombone for 6 years or something but guitar or bass is a different matter

I think i'll get one of those books sometime and start learning to read music
It would be kinda cool and helpful

I think my piano teacher gave up on my scales, sometimes I can remember them but usually she has to tell me which keys to press. I think she thinks I'm a retard. I'm not good with harmonies either, I'm the type of person who knows how things work but can't apply them to my actual playing. :( Being ad at things sucks.

Today I brought in a new song that has a 3/4 (actually it's 3/8 but there's hardly any difference) part. We had to spend half an hour teaching the drummer how to plya in 3/4 and he still can't do it. Then my guitarist started pitching a fit about how he just wants to rock. All he wants to do is play the same chord progression in 4/4 with the occasional solo. My bassist, while not amazing (but competent), is down for anything. Is it in anyway wrong to start a second band with this other kid I know who is an amazing drummer and take my current band's bassist with me?

[Paranoidd]

Sounds like you want to be Pink Floyd, your guitar player wants to be AC/DC, and your drummer shouldn't be playing, period.

Take the bassist and go.

[evilmenhavenosongs]

I'm sure they'd be able to find someone with the same taste as they have and then you'd both be happy. Would save a lot of bother if you just ran off with the bassist. (I didn't mean that how it sounded)

[halfdeadhippo]

I don't see anything wrong with it. Just so long your current guitarist and drummer don't take it the wrong way.

[Dancin' Man]

It's more I want to be Tool, guitarist wants to be The Used and the dummer wants to play George of the Jungle.

[Bartender]

I like the you+bassist splitting off idea as well.

[Paranoidd]

Fast Fingers, we'll make a band. I can do crazy electronic stuff. Comes from three years of self-teaching electronic music production. I'm too lazy to make a band, so I just program my own drums (and eventually bass, if I'm lucky) and play my guitar along to it (very poorly).

[Dancin' Man]

How cool would it be to have the mx R&M band? One person records the guitar part and passes it on to the drummer then bassist and it just keeps going with each version saved.

[Paranoidd]

That'd be dope. I used to know a few electronic producers who would work like that...they make up something, send it over, the other guy would add his own parts/edit previous ones, etc. Some pretty cool stuff comes out of it. I've never seen anyone do it with rock before.

[Dancin' Man]

I would try it. I just downloaded frooty loops and adobe audition so I think i've got the software to do a good job.

[Paranoidd]

I started with fruityloops. That is actually the most underrated program ever...it's so user friendly and versatile.

Theres a ton of programs to use...I started using Reason a while back but drum programming is a pain in the arse. The synth stuff you can compose is amazing though. I want to go back to school for audio engineering but it's a hard field to get into, and I don't want to end up producing nu-metal albums.

My drummer is a complete control freak, who is a close minded ****wit who can't keep in time. My lead player is also a control freak, and he has listened to too many Spinal Tap songs to be taken seriously. So I've started up my own band, occasionally bringing in the rhythm guitarist for a recorded jam.

p.s. I can sight read :cool:

[Dancin' Man]

But can you make the MX band?

[Paranoidd]

Well since I can't play any instruments (not well, at least), I can do the production work :D

[superpeer]

I went into a cd store again.

I have a serious problem. :upset:

[Dancin' Man]

Poor Superpeer


Just send me all your money so you don't accidentaly spend it.

[superpeer]

Ok. :)















Wait :mad:

[Dancin' Man]

So, how about them Yankees?


/well disguised bump

[Bartender]

The Yankees suck, onward the Devil Rays!

/only team I know

[Kingofdudes]

So, how about them Yankees?


/well disguised bump

Almost as overrated as Nirvana :smash:

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

Hahaha

[Bartender]

Ah, a new Off-topic person. Your name's kinda long, so I'm afraid I'll have to refer to you as PIM.

[Janken The Great]

So if this thread is for things non R&M then what happened to the Pit?

[Kingofdudes]

So if this thread is for things non R&M then what happened to the Pit?

spam spam and more spam

[Bartender]

I made a post about that a while ago..I'll dig it up.

[Bartender]

So if this thread is for things non R&M then what happened to the Pit?

The Pit doesn't manage discussion any more. It's just constant upstaging, attempted pwning, unoriginal joking and plain, all-out flaming. And if you some random user determines your thread isn't interesting enough, it gets "HIJACKED! HIJACKED! HIJACKED!".

The Pit has no sense of community, friendship/fellowship, or even fun any more. So the regulars of other forums have to make do with what they can; an official thread for discussion. Check out Punk's Community Thread, or Pop-Punk's Discussion Thread. Alt/Indie is less obvious, but the same concept is disguised in the Expanding Your Horizons or What I've Been Digging.. stickies. Even the Admin forum has occasional bursts of conversation. R&M has just been slow to catch on; a thread like this is needed.

There you go.

[Dancin' Man]

Plus the R&M regs are the coolest and we needed to bond. Of course, Superpeer and Bartender are two of the biggest contributers so theyt could just talk on IM but then, where would KingofDudes and I be?

[Bartender]

Actually, I think you and Paranoidd both have more posts in this thing than me and 'Peer :)

Have I put Pim off ever coming back here? He seems a good guy, two good reviews so far.

[Kingofdudes]

Another good thing about this thread is that most of the retards ignore it. No "METALICAA RULZ" or "IM A MAGGOT".

[Dancin' Man]

Hey, you're right! I'm losing to Paranoiddd by.......

[Dancin' Man]

38 posts! This is rediculous! I deserve better...

[Bartender]

Goddamn, I hate the Pit.

[CommieCanada]

i hate the pit also.


/me just now found out that R&M had an off topic thread.

hello all. i am CommieCanada and i am not a regular here. i most frequent the Pop-Punk and Alt/Indie forums. i only come every so often so i doubt anyone here knows me. :thumb:

By yourselves in a dimly-light, dank room, reading poetry by candlelight and composing bad progressive metal. :p

[Bartender]

It could be CJS and Tiger.

CC - I know you, if only by sight.

Avatar theft?

[Kingofdudes]

:amaze:....the lowest of all mx crimes has occured :angry:

Make a mob and lynch him! :smash:

[Dancin' Man]

I stole mine from some ancient member (an '02 member) who came backa few months ago for 50 posts. He chased me around yelling at me for the avatar.

[halfdeadhippo]

I stole my avatar from LegionsofMarduk. :upset:

[Dancin' Man]

But your avatar has a point so it's acceptable.

[halfdeadhippo]

It's not the exact same avatar as Legions, but it's close enough. His is smaller and without the demon apparition.

[Bartender]

Like mine.

[Dancin' Man]

What is the Baphomet horde?

[Bartender]

It started off as a joke and now it is a way of spotting who is tr00 and n3cr0 - you know that members of The Baphomet Horde (note: capitalisation is compulsory) know their stuff.

To join you have to answer the following easy questions:

What colour was the split 10" that Morbid Angel released with SlaughterLord?
What band did Thomas Lindberg play bass and sing for prior to joining At The Gates?
Which band displayed their displeasure with their record company by releasing an album entitled "Fcuk Peaceville"?
Which record company was founded by the bass player of legendary grindcore merchants Extreme Noise Terror?
How many bands has Hellhammer been drummer for?
Which two European singers were approached by Morbid Angel to replace David Vincent?
Which song by a legendary Swiss band did Sepultura butcher?
Which Brazilian band was a huge influence on all Norwegian black metal bands and released an album entitled INRI?

Actually all you need to do is a) be into extreme metal and b) nick Legion's avatar and change your title to "The Baphomet Horde"

But I'd still be interested to see who can know's the answers to those q's

Ta-da.

[lilpete86]

I still can't answer those questions

[Bartender]

I know a couple of them, but only through cheating :(

[lilpete86]

The only one i know is the peaceville one, i think it was doom.

[halfdeadhippo]

The only one that I know is the Peaceville one. I believe it's Darkthrone, but I'm probably wrong.

[lilpete86]

Nah it's not darkthrone, although its a well educated guess.

[superpeer]

*enters*

[Bartender]

Greetings!

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

What band did Thomas Lindberg play bass and sing for prior to joining At The Gates?

The only one i think i know is this one, i believe it is 'Grotesque'

[Bartender]

You were one of those who answered several of those questions originally :)

I think Lindberg was one of the vocalists approached for Morbid Angel. And the band for the last question is Sarcofago. That's all I remember.

[superpeer]

I know the names of both guitarists of Slipknot. \m/

[lilpete86]

Sarcofago??

:confused:


Never heard of them

[Dancin' Man]

I know......zero of them!

Fortunatly I like having cool avatars. I'll make a spoof horde instead.

[Dancin' Man]

Done.

[superpeer]

I'm running from the pit, it's going crazy.


/me hides here.

[Bartender]

Goddamn, I hate the Pit.


I only know Sarcofago because of people answering those questions.

[Dancin' Man]

Poor Pit.

It was so much better with Humor and TOWM. Oh well, time to go spam it up.

[Bartender]

TOWM's back. A little bit, anyway. Posted in one of the threads that got closed.

[superpeer]

I think it needs some random bannings.

[Dancin' Man]

I know. I found him in DFelon's thread. He's a weekend poster apparently.

So, we near 1000 posts here. What will we do to celebrate?


HA! I accidentaly got it!

[Dancin' Man]

I think it needs some random bannings.


Evil mod. If NPC gets demodded, the Pit will be a place of joy and happiness.

[superpeer]

It's not NPC's fault, but all the whiners that are complaining.

[Dancin' Man]

NPC is a spam whore.

Green stinkers, doo doo doo doo, kool-aid

[Dancin' Man]

I think FatPete would've been a better choice.

FatPete isn't the most orthodox member either.

Translation "I usually read through all the posts of a thread. I got to page 16 of this one, then gave up because there are 41 pages."

No. Not when I have such a monotonous and mundane job that I have to be on mxtabs and listening to Meshuggah to retain the small amount of sanity I have left.


Hey, you're right! I'm losing to Paranoiddd by.......

pwned.

I just got back from a night of heavy drinking and smoking. We had a cottage up at the beach and there was a cottage of 8 irish chicks across the street from us.




Unfortunately they were all fat and ugly, so we just smoked more weed.

Good time.

[Bartender]

Yeah, especially if he keeps up this unexplained absence. I wonder where he is.

EDIT: Could my timing have been any ****ing worse?

I'm trying not to procastinate this year now that I have a whole new attitude and I hope I am ready for junior year.

I start tommorrow x_x

[Dancin' Man]

I do that at the beginning of every school year. I stop caring around the 5th week.

[halfdeadhippo]

I do that at the beginning of every school year. I stop caring around the 5th week.
Same here.

[Bartender]

I gave up caring (as in actually getting stressed) about school and deadlines and things around the end of year 7. Any essays or projects that need doing, get done when they actually need doing (the night before, usually), not three weeks in advance. I haven't revised, more than just the morning of the exam/test, since the year 6 exams. It's great, I'm the most relaxed person I know.

[Dancin' Man]

I'm pumped for school this year. Video. First year our school has it and the teacher is technology illiterate. That means music videos everyday.

[Paranoidd]

I've never studied for an exam. I never failed a class :D

[Dancin' Man]

I got a 65 on my math regents two years ago. 65 was passing. I'm a year ahead in math but I'm terrible at it. Last year of math right here.

[Bartender]

I've never studied for an exam. I never failed a class :D

Same here, heh.

[RavenousMetalist87]

I failed the Second Semester Geometry final. The teacher knew I was trying hard to get a good grade, so he passed me with a D.

My mom and dad didn't like it. Sadly, I spent 6 weeks making it up, but I pulled it off with B. I'm not great at math, and my parents knew it. They said it was because I was lazy...

I think it was partially true, but I kind of blame them for not taking the message on getting me a tutor earlier.

[Paranoidd]

F math. English class, I can get 90's. Math, I fold.

I think math is pointless. Music is a much more acceptable universal language :D

Creative Writing and Video Tech is where its REALLY at

[halfdeadhippo]

[Bartender]

I'm probably one of the few people who doesn't like Shakespeare though...

I also dislike Shakespeare's style. It sucks, because everyone (in my school, anyway) thinks you're just too low-brow to "get" it. He's the one who's crap, not me.

[RavenousMetalist87]

I get confused when I try to read a Shakespear book.

[rock not the roll]

Band & Art > All other subjects

I was in art last year. It's where all of the acid tripper get together :D. We id some trippy stuff in that class.

[halfdeadhippo]

Shakespeare is like Led Zeppelin. Kids who are trying to be "cool" think he's "gay". He's easily the most well-known writer of plays, most of the plays he writes were orignally written by someone else, and the average high school kid thinks he's stupid just because his work's from a long time ago.
