Yeah, it's how they talk in cartoons also. Pokemon in Arabic is by far the most hilarious thing I've ever seen in my life.
HAHAHAHA!

I wish I could see that!

[dustindow]

Is it like watching cartoons with rap music?

[lfantwister]

the best is rap in french

[ashman]

It'd be interesting to rap;

"My Children need wine"

[Iskandar]

It'd be interesting to rap;

"My Children need wine"
"Mes enfants besoin du vin."

(Well, I think that's close; my French is not spectacular by any means.)

[guitrguy]

So what you're saying is that you're a spy?
Damnit, I geuss I make a horrible spy. :(

[Mr. Ron]

Last day of highschool ever, was today. Hello college. :chug:

[2muchket!]

Already finished school last friday.

[thedeadwalk!]

I finished on the 9th. And I'm now a junior in college.

[guitrguy]

I finished school on the 4th and I am now a sophmore in college.

[The_Passenger]

I finished school last Thursday. Well, I still have some exams, but after that it's on to 6th Form/college.

[thedeadwalk!]

I finished school on the 4th and I am now a sophmore in college.
Hmm. Well, I'm still for the better.

[PerpetualBurn]

I finish for study leave tomorrow, then it's a week off, and exams up to the 26th. Then I'm free till September when I should begin University.

[guitrguy]

Hmm. Well, I'm still for the better.
ya... you might be one year closer to degree than me.

[thedeadwalk!]

With any luck. I mean effort.

[lfantwister]

damn. im still in high school for another year. noooooo

[dustindow]

I finish for study leave tomorrow, then it's a week off, and exams up to the 26th. Then I'm free till September when I should begin University.


Tomarrow is my graduation then im off to The Art Institute on 28 of August. untill then........FULL TIME JOB *dun dun dun *

Job? Safe to say I'll be doing sweet FA this summer.

[dustindow]

Job? Safe to say I'll be doing sweet FA this summer.

I'll prolly wind up with a servering job or hopefully working at like FedEx or UPS...Got to love oppertunities in suburbia.

I'm leaving in half an hour.

before I got a job lifeguarding I was up on a ladder all day knocking out shatter-proof glass with a hammer and awl for less money than I got sitting at the pool all day.

There are birds mating in my yard!

No, not yet. As soon as I get my green card, I'm gonna go a-hoboin' around the States.

theres one of them outside the store where i work. he buys me drinks.

What the hell is wrong with America? I've been buying booze since I was 16, at least.

[Iskandar]

What the hell is wrong with America? I've been buying booze since I was 16, at least.
Gahh I don't live in America! I live in Canada.

How did you buy booze? Were the clerks simply lax on procedures?

[PerpetualBurn]

Canada's in America isn't it?

And pretty much, yeah. Pubs and Clubs are sometimes tight on ID, but there's all an off-license willing to sell to the underage. It's all the "Ask me no questions I'll tell you no lies" attitude.

NONONONONO we're proud of our differences from America. :)

The problem is that in my province, there's a state monopoly on hard liquor. If there were free enterprise, I could find a store which would sell it to me ... or better, no age limits on liquor laws.

What's the age over there then, 21? Because I think that's amazingly harsh.

[-1up!-]

Well in Quebec it's 18, and I could buy alcohol at the store at 15 most of the time...People often say I look older than I am, though. What province are you from, Dropper?

[dustindow]

damn you canadians. I still got to have someone 21 to buy me some booze. Also they card people extensivly.

[RockAndRoll]

I believe dropper lives in Ontario, where the drinking age is 19.

Though despite the governments monopoly on booze it really isn't that hard to get some.

[Iskandar]

It's 19 (18 in Quebec).

I think any liquor laws are amazing harsh.

It can be a pain sometimes. My oldest friends are only 18. My dad or brother will buy me booze, but I can't push it and ask them to every weekend.

[Hababi]

My dad or brother will buy me booze, but I can't push it and ask them to every weekend.


Good, you shouldn't be drinking every weekend :p

I'm 22 days away from 21. I'll probably celebrate by (legally) buying a good mixed drink at wherever I go to eat dinner. Some place nice downtown.

Don't even joke. I'm in the local at least twice a week.

What's wrong with drinking every weekend? It's social interaction with some chemicals to put a little spin on things.

I actually look older than most of them in appearance and demeanour, so I've tried it myself; but if I get carded, and I often do, I'm screwed.

[Reaganista]

ask your liver

[PerpetualBurn]

You can drink every weekend and not cause harm to your liver. In fact, you can drink every night and not damage your liver.

[spitfirejunky]

You can't get smashed off your *** every weekend without causing scleroris of the liver.

[coheneran]

im edge.

Are you edge to be cool or because you recognise drugs as a capitalist tool that is used to keep the people occupied, stupid and coming back for more?:rolleyes:

[PerpetualBurn]

You can't get smashed off your *** every weekend without causing scleroris of the liver.

That's different to just drinking every weekend.

[SubtleDagger]

Are you edge to be cool or because you recognise drugs as a capitalist tool that is used to keep the people occupied, stupid and coming back for more?:rolleyes:
I'm actually edge, but it's just because I was never interested in drugs and don't want to take them to stay in a rational mindset. Also I'm against casual sex (i.e. one night stands). I really am not like typical edgers in that I don't put x's by my name, have never x'd up and don't really press it on other people.

It's obviously been given quite the bad name over the years.

123....actually im not. I'm just being cocky. Half the kids I've met say they are and then 3 years later there smashed from booze. But my best friend stop doing everything and drinking. Also a virgin but he doesnt label himself edge. Just doesnt do it.

[Reaganista]

wow if somebody changes over the course of three years they couldn't have possibily genuinely meant what they said in the past

I just saw an advert for Gilette Razors the pitch of which (hehe) was to show your devotion to your country in the world cup. Basically, it had a montage of fans of varying nationalities with their respective flags (and their shaped) shaved and dyed into their hair. In almost every clip, the fans were ecstatic, as if their team had just scored, but in the last one, it was two Japanese kids with their flag on the back of their head, and they looked crestfallen. It was quite funny.

[coheneran]

Every time I hear the word "yobs" on the news, it reminds me of Bill Hicks's sketch about how Britain doesn't have crime like America has crime, and how he would like to see our 'hooligans' against the bloods or crips.

[PerpetualBurn]

I think since Gilette came out with their amazing closest-ever-shave 4 blade razor, someone should beat them to it and bring out a FIVE BLADE RAZOR.

No one'll see it coming. Corner the market, it will.

In other news, I won a pub quiz tonight under the name "Peter Crouch is sh*t". Good times.

[PerpetualBurn]

[Reaganista]

a euro's about to win the NBA playoff MVP

unless his team totally falls apart

you guys should play that instead

[PerpetualBurn]

Who the hell plays basketball? Shocking idea.

[Reaganista]

i guess if you like being bored you could keep up the soccer

[coheneran]

Did you see the Australia-Japan match? Three goals in six minutes!

And yes, seeing America get beaten 3 nil (was it? or 3-1) by eurocommies was fun.

[Reaganista]

no I saw a thrilling 0-0 tie between trinidad and sweden

and then I gave up on soccer forever

[PerpetualBurn]

No, I was in an exam so I missed it. The highlights looked quality though. Got the Italy match on at the moment.

And Tway, other than yankees, who in the world takes basketball as seriously as football?

[PerpetualBurn]

no I saw a thrilling 0-0 tie between trinidad and sweden

and then I gave up on soccer forever

Well since Trinidad have absolutely stunned everyone by even qualifying, you weren't gonna get the best football. Plus Sweden are bland as hell. Still, I thought it was a decent match. Dwight Yorke playing centre-half for no apparent reason and the Trinidad manager daring to put a striker on after going down to ten men. Loved it.

[Reaganista]

how the hell should I know

that's not the point, people liking something doesn't mean it doesn't suck

Loved it.
you see, I've been spoiled by watching the world's best athletes compete in compelling matches of exciting games for so long I could never be entertained by a 0-0 tie

but if my only alternatives were cricket and rugby, I might like to watch soccer

[coheneran]

Ghana is playing good offence, but their keeper is a bit too eager to be out of goal, looks like.

[PerpetualBurn]

No, but it's an indication of how interesting/exciting a sport is. It's not art we're talking about here, it's the working man's pass-time.

[coheneran]

how the hell should I know

that's not the point, people liking something doesn't mean it doesn't suck

No, but it's a good sign.

[Reaganista]

it's not really a good sign.

a lot of people like to eat at McDonald's and Burger King
that doesn't mean it's not completely inferior to real food in all ways

soccer is a whopper

And basketball is a chicken nugget.

[PerpetualBurn]

Basketball always seems overly repetitive to me. End to end at a pretty regular pace and scoring more often than not. Yawn.

Don't get me wrong, I quite enjoy playing it now and again, but football just beats all. Followed by Rugby.

[Reaganista]

scoring more often than not
that's actually a pretty rare occurance.

but a lot of scoring is better than no scoring

And basketball is a chicken nugget.
having the highest average salary of any sport in the world, NBA basketball naturally attracts the world's best.

any other sport is a consolation prize for someone who couldn't hack it on the court

[PerpetualBurn]

Well since America's pretty much the only place that takes basketball to any serious level, of course that's where players are going to want to go.

Fortunately, since football is worldwide, there are quality players everywhere and the Champions League matches are brilliant. Though it's accepted that the Premiership and La Liga are probably the best leagues in the world.

[Reaganista]

Yeah you can watch a bunch of guys who aren't good enough to play basketball kick a ball around in germany.

I guess it's better than cricket

[PerpetualBurn]

I'd like to see basketballers try football. It's a completely different sport and requires very different skills. Plus, as said, since hardly anyone plays it, it's stupid to try and suggest they aren't good enough for it.

[coheneran]

Are Italy and Ghana still in half time?

[PerpetualBurn]

Yep. Very much so.

Ghana are actually decent, I expected less from them. Italy are pretty good too, but not special.

[spitfirejunky]

but if my only alternatives were cricket and rugby, I might like to watch soccer

I'd take rugby over soccer any day (for entertainment purposes).

[Reaganista]

anybody who can play point guard or shooting guard in the nba would've been physically perfectly capable of playing professional soccer, had there been any reason for them to take that direction in thier lives.

Plus, as said, since hardly anyone plays it, it's stupid to try and suggest they aren't good enough for it.
nope sorry, assuming that people won't try to maximize their financial rewards is stupider.

[coheneran]

anybody who can play point guard or shooting guard in the nba would've been physically perfectly capable of playing professional soccer, had there been any reason for them to take that direction in thier lives.

Using your legs is harder, the field is bigger than the court, goalkeeping is a completely different skill than when done in basketball, there's the vague and ever-threatening "off-side rule", the list goes on.

[Reaganista]

Using your legs is harder,

this effects everyone equally

the field is bigger than the court,
and most soccer players don't cover the entire field.
every basketball player does

goalkeeping is a completely different skill than when done in basketball,
goaltending is against the rules in basketball


there's the vague and ever-threatening "off-side rule", the list goes on.
some basketball rules are vague, too. I don't see how this is relevant.

[PerpetualBurn]

anybody who can play point guard or shooting guard in the nba would've been physically perfectly capable of playing professional soccer, had there been any reason for them to take that direction in thier lives.

It's pretty bloody stupid to think that people are equally good at all sports. People suit some sports better than others.

nope sorry, assuming that people won't try to maximize their financial rewards is stupider.

It's pretty bloody stupid to miss the point here, too. England will produce more professional footballers than it will basketballers because the level of training, facilities, and competition is greater. You aren't going to become a top-class basketballer, even if you have the potential, if you never play basketball past a recreational level, which most people don't.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Not to mention that all basketball players are black.

[Reaganista]

It's pretty bloody stupid to think that people are equally good at all sports. People suit some sports better than others.

exactly. and people who are suited to the guard position in the nba are also suited to soccer

american colleges are always trying to recruit overseas players, and there's quite a few well funded places that recruit teenagers in the european mainland

you would have to be pretty 'bloody stupid' to have the ability to play in the nba and then not do it.
but if you want to assume irrational economic behavior go right ahead.

the real reason england doesn't produce nba players is because you guys suck

Not to mention that all basketball players are black.
except a lot of them

[Dave de Sylvia]

British people do suck.

[Reaganista]

I agree

[RockAndRoll]

Guys Tway is right. Soccer may be extremely popular but it's complete ****. It's just like Kelly Clarkson.

[coheneran]

**** your shitty soccer, footie is hella fun.

[Reaganista]

yeah, when you're 7

[PerpetualBurn]

exactly. and people who are suited to the guard position in the nba are also suited to soccer

Except since you've never seen them play football you have no idea how good they are at the skills required for football.

How can you not understand that if someone never plays a sport at a competitive level, they aren't going to become good at it?

[coheneran]

yeah, when you're 17

Fix'd.

[Reaganista]

they can practice anything they aren't good at.
they weren't born able to make shots from 25 feet out and dribble through traffic, either


How can you not understand that if someone never plays a sport at a competitive level, they aren't going to become good at it?
If they have the ability to become good at it, they would be recruited, and would have to rise to unrivaled heights of irrationality to turn the offer down

[The Wizard of Oz]

'Sup Tway?

[Reaganista]

nm. just messing with this mp4 player i got

[PerpetualBurn]

they can practice anything they aren't good at.
they weren't born able to make shots from 25 feet out and dribble through traffic, either

Yeah, you're just being completely facetious. There's nothing to suggest that because someone is good at basketball that they would be great footballers too. Same way all cricketers don't become baseballers, and those sports are even closer.


If they have the ability to become good at it, they would be recruited, and would have to rise to unrivaled heights of irrationality to turn the offer down

Recruit them from where?

[Reaganista]

Same way all cricketers don't become baseballers, and those sports are even closer.

that's not the same. cricketers get paid less, so most of them should be aspiring to get MLB contracts, so only those most suited for baseball could make it.

no NBA player wants to take a pay cut to go play soccer.

Recruit them from where?
everywhere on the planet.

[PerpetualBurn]

Yeah, you can't pretend that basketball and football are similar. And you can't pretend that people are going to be good basketballers if they don't play the sport - and no one can recruit you as a basketballer if they don't see you play it.

[Reaganista]

they're actually really similar

[PerpetualBurn]

False.

[Reaganista]

true

[The_Passenger]

Beyond them both involving a ball, I fail to see how basketball and football are similar.

[Reaganista]

I fail yep

[PerpetualBurn]

Yankees just don't understand sport.

[Mr. Ron]

I love soccer. I played it for 3 years. Now I play Lacrosse.

[PerpetualBurn]

Well maybe there's some exceptions, but that whole lacrosse thing needs to go.

[Reaganista]

I played soccer from like age 4 to 16

doesn't mean I'd ever wanna watch it

and o yeah british people suck

[PerpetualBurn]

So you played to an astonishingly poor level. Well done.

[Reaganista]

what's your point

[PerpetualBurn]

That you clearly have a poor understanding of the sport, highlighted by the fact you've never played it to a reasonable level and somehow think it's similar to basketball.

[Reaganista]

I said the phyiscal requirements of soccer are similar to being an nba guard.

and you don't have to play a sport to have an understanding of it, let alone play at a high level

[deathscreamingsheep]

I'm a retarded american cunt

Sup

[PerpetualBurn]

Yeah, you can't pretend that basketball and football are similar

they're actually really similar

What about right there? Has your facetious monosyllabic posting actually been caught out for once?

[PerpetualBurn]

ITT: Tway gets pwned.

[Reaganista]

Not really, no

[Mr. Ron]

Well maybe there's some exceptions, but that whole lacrosse thing needs to go.
Why's that? Lacrosse is soccer, hockey and football in one package. Plus, you get to hit people with sticks!

[PerpetualBurn]

Just not a massive fan of the sport.

[Mr. Ron]

Well you're st00pid.

[PerpetualBurn]

Pffft. Everyone knows that football is massively superior to all other sports whether they want to admit it or not.

Makes me wish my 5-a-side team hadn't collapsed.

I'm far from fat. I'm tall and lanky; I have the build of a typical scenester.

I just don't enjoy sports very much. I am in decent shape and don't mind a swim or jog, but team sports bore me.
When you castle to the left, how many squares do you move the king?
Two. If the king was in row E, it should now be in row C.

[italic zero]

There's no team in me.

[Iskandar]

There's no team in me.
Or in me.

One would think co-operative team sports would appeal to me; but they don't.

[PerpetualBurn]

There's no I in team, but there's a u in cunt.

[Iskandar]

There's no I in team, but there's a u in cunt.
gtfo

[PerpetualBurn]

Sorry. Not aimed at you, just a line I like.

[coheneran]

Or in me.

One would think co-operative team sports would appeal to me; but they don't.

When was the last time you played football?

I used to think I don't like team sports, but I've started playing football again and I've realised that it's not the co-operative team aspect I didn't like, it's the competitiveness that tends to come with sports in high school, but now, playing with friends, it's just about having fun and I've really started to enjoy working as a team.

[PerpetualBurn]

I hated playing football in P.E. because I pretty much hated a lot of the people playing it. Then 2-3 years ago me and a few mates put together a 5-a-side team in a local league and it was great. There was the odd tosser in the league, but most of the time it was a good mix of ages (team ages from 16 to 40's) and most of the lads up there were quality.

The team collapsed a month or so back for various reasons. But the point being, being on a team for sport can be awesome. It might be rather base male instinct, but you do become closer with mates if you're on a team regularly like that.

[coheneran]

Yeah, the egotistical competitiveness is, I think, pretty artificial, especially in high schools, where all the guys live to impress the chicks. Our lot, the radicals in Russell Square, we almost always play mixed sexes, sometimes even with a dress on!:amaze:

[PerpetualBurn]

Dresses are too far.

But I really miss the team spirit thing. It was only a casual league, like, but we all turned up wanting to win. It gave you the whole unity thing, turn up and talk before the match, the banter during the game, all going for a drink afterwards.

[Iskandar]

Sorry. Not aimed at you, just a line I like.
Oh, no problem. I thought it was; but I miscontrued it.

When was the last time you played football?
I'm Canadian ... do you mean soccer or American football?

[coheneran]

Oh, no problem. I thought it was; but I miscontrued it.

I don't dignify the latter with mention, so obviously the former.

[dustindow]

Anyone up for rugby?

[coheneran]

Anyone up for rugby?

Only is we don't have to wear wimpy armour and play with simplified rules.:p

[PerpetualBurn]

Rugby's a great sport to play, I'm not too keen on watching it though.

[coheneran]

Me neither. If I wanted to watch big muscly semi nude men frolicking in mud, I'd watch gay hardcore.

Great news if I lived anywhere near Philadelphia.

I'm looking forward to England banning smoking in pubs.

[Reaganista]

it's cool that when I'm finally old enough to go to a bar I actually might want to

[PerpetualBurn]

Even the thought of having to be 21 to get a drink disgusts me.

[Reaganista]

well you don't have to be 21 to get a drink...

but yeah it sucks

[Angry Balled Fists!]

hey guys, i'm taking politics for the next 2 years for A-Levels, so i'm gonna be really political and own your asses in debates :cool:

No seriously, i always wanna talk about stuff in here but i don't know anything, but i'm interested in it all.

For some reason the 2nd year will be about american poilitics :-/

[guitrguy]

A year and half left and I can legally drink

This god damn global warming is making it incredibily hard to mow the lawn.

[PerpetualBurn]

Yeah, but drinking is so much better when you're legal and you can go and sit in a pub and relax.

[guitrguy]

I've gotten into a few bars, but the constant guilt of under age makes it not as fun as it would be if I were of age.

I think I might just minor in political science.

I was thinking of doing that, but decided against it in the end.

Why is the second year about American politics? I can understand some of the time being devoted to it, but a whole school year...

[coheneran]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Taslking. Priceless. Thank you, I haven't laughed like that since I was a little girl quoting popular movies featuring Mike Myers. I never realised we talked about grown up stuff, generally this forum is childish. Maybe you just haven't developed the right part of your brain yet.

I reckon I'll take it and drop out after a while. I get free education until I'm nineteen anyway, so I might as well. What are the minimum GCSE requirements?

Going into a pub at 16/17 was alright, but you just new every time that there was a chance they'd ID you when you tried to get a pint, which is just embarrassing and annoying.

There's nowt more relaxing than going to the pub for a couple of bevvies.

[guitrguy]

In the US you run the chance of running into the ABC (Alcoholic Beverage Commission), they will give you a hefty fine, and shut down the bar and pop them with a $100,000 fine per under age drinker.

it's nowhere enar that much in the uk

and attempting to buy underage isn't usually a punished crime

Man, the worst we face here is feeling bad and not being able to chill.

We can even lose our Driver's liscence.

Its very rare to see the ABC, but there is still a chance and it wouldn't be fun.

Man, Amerika might pick up another "k" soon.:p Your laws are loco.

yeah alcohol is definitely one of the main reasons of living for me let me tell you

[PerpetualBurn]

That's just plain stupid.

If you're caught drinking underage then you can maybe get a light fine (since drunk and disorderly gets you fined £80) but I know of no one who that's ever happened to. And underage drinking in pubs was a regular thing for me. It was just whether or not they felt tight that evening.

Though recently a small pub about 2 minute walk from my house lost its license for serving underage people, but they'd been let off twice before and they'd become well-known for it. It got extremely blatant before they were punished.

I just can't see that you should have to be 21 to drink in a pub. It's just not that big a deal.

[coheneran]

I know forty year olds who shouldn't be allowed to drink. It simply isn't about age, it's about responsibility. Like, these two drink skinheads in South London (Clapham) beat a man to death because he was gay. They were ****ing stamping on him and kicking him like he was a mongrel. His head was so distorted and bloody and out of shape that his family couldn'y identify him. I swear to every god there ever was and will be, if I ever meet those guys in a dark alley...

I ****ing hate homophobes. Chickenshit mother****ing pigdog scumsucking lowlife turds.

[PerpetualBurn]

If I talk to you...will I catch the gay?

[coheneran]

Depends what you mean by "talk", and depends if I wear a condom.

[PerpetualBurn]

I see. Then I must leave.

[coheneran]

I've just been looking at my user CP, and I saw an old rep from way back when, I thought it curious:

they did one song with bear costumes on.

i don't know he did a bunch of **** like that, and his musics better live anyways. he's just a really good showman.
