[QUOTE=Steerpike]Just got back from Japanese history class. It'll take some time to understand the professor's accent, but he's a pretty cool guy nonetheless. Toward the end of class, he told us some rather interesting stories about the culture shock he and his family went through when they first moved to America in the 60's.

The most amusing was probably when they went to a hardware store looking for sponges, but didn't know what to call them, so they ended up describing them as "rubbers."[/QUOTE]


That sounds like an intersting class. What are you majoring in?

:lol:, that sounds classic.


Japanese people, in my experience, are all strangely friendly and funny.:p

that is weird...



are you talking "sponges" like in that seinfeld episode?



If so, PRICELESS

That would be great.

[QUOTE=IAJP][/Bump covo]


Yeah same here, when I get to know girls, I get really talkative and pally. The way I talk to them is the same as I talk to some of my mates, I.E. I'll lightly insult them, and my self of course.

But yeah, I have to try and keep it a bit low at times. :p[/QUOTE]

My problem isn't so much being pally... It's more that a lot of people these days are still too uptight in public to realize that other people's pain is funny. I have a rather black sense of humor seasoned with a hefty dose of sarcasm. And while I've got a pretty quick wit, I tend to lose track of moderation and lay it on pretty thick. I have to keep checking myself to see that I don't ramble about some joke that essentially boils down to "blood is funny."

If that's true, then I'm pretty sure me and you would be friends in real life. My sense of humour is obscure, I can laugh at some things that aren't funny, but when it comes down to it, life is for living, and maybe insulting someone else because of their actions could be viewed as wrong by some people, but I'm not gonna stop doing it. :p

Ooh I can't get over how cold it is, my fingers don't move properly.

I wish I wasn't ill. Then I could go play in the cold.

It's weird actually. Me, my sisters and my mate were all sick today. We've also all had swimming at school during the past week.

It's oddly warm for January here...stupid global warming. Bad for fat people.

See, I like dark humor...but "blood is funny?" That intrigues me...

Yeah, we'd probably be friends. A lot of my friends in real life have pretty unusual senses of humor as well. One guy just says the most vulgar things he can think of until people laugh.

Recently at a party he met a guy through one of his friends who said "There's nothing anybody can say that I coudln't come up with a response to."

Taking that as a personal challenge, my friend walks up to the guy, puts his arm around his shoulders and says, "You know what, bro? I once f[size=2]u[/size]cked a donkey for a nickle." He then winked, clicked his tongue, and walked off.

The guy just stood there in silence for a moment and finally said, "Okay, you got me on that one."

I just found out I owe the library 90 dollars in late fees.

Some of my friends are like that, we recorded over 30 minutes worth of audio from my friends and I making up songs about a boy in our school.

"Hey Alan, you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind..HEY ALAN"

"Alan will..Alan will..Rock You!"

:p

One of the guys in our movie played an obnoxious roommate. He improvved a bunch of lyrics for us for a couple scenes. For the first scene with that, he said "Give me a topic."

I picked a random word off the top of my head. "Soup."

On the spot, he made up a two-chord, three-minute long song about a telephone conversation with a girl in Japan and eating soup with chopsticks.

When he improvved the ending credits music, he just sang out a recap of the movie in the goofiest way he could. Our music guy just put together a four-bar rhythm combo and layered it under the singing because that was the only way he could possibly work with it, it was so out of time.

No. My friend works there so he is going to try and clear it from the system. If he cant clear it, I will just use my schools library until I graduate in June. They wont be seeing a penny from me.

that kinda sounds like me Steerpike...



the only way i CAN sing and play is too make up weird sh!t and just go with it.


Not sure why really

My family's like that. Only we stopped going to that library because one of our foster greyhounds had a case of explosive diarrhea all over one of the books my sister checked out.

agree'D


last time my boy was all drunk on his B-day, and he made me come up with something for him...



what i was saying tho, is that i cant sing a single song and play, unless i make it up on the fly

[QUOTE=GenuineImitation]Wow. When I read that I burst out laughing. So, did you return the books covered in sh[I]i[/I]t?[/QUOTE]

Here's your book. It came like this *shifty eyes*.

Relax, you'll get used to the smell SOONER or later.

[QUOTE=GenuineImitation]Wow. When I read that I burst out laughing. So, did you return the books covered in sh[I]i[/I]t?[/QUOTE]

Hell no. We just never went back.

[QUOTE=CoF]They are the four you can play solidly. amirite.

EDIT: BTW interesting fact-Daniel Erlandsson (arch enemys drummer) is brothers with Adrian Erlandsson (Cradle Of Filths drummer). I thought it was cool cause i like both bands ALOT.[/QUOTE]
Heh, I actually just read an article about them in a drum magazine earlier this week.
[QUOTE=kurrptsenate]no, not at all, but thanks for the cofindence

the songs I have DOWN are ones I've heard before

Rage
Weezer
Sabbath

the manson song is too easy not to pick up right away

that Lit song is pretty friggin simple, but surprisingly, the Green Day song has more chords then then any 3 of those songs combined[/QUOTE]
Haha, there's lots of chords in the Green Day song but it's really easy once you have it in your head. We did it for an online band song in Pop-Punk.
[QUOTE=GenuineImitation]I just found out I owe the library 90 dollars in late fees.[/QUOTE]Ouch. I had something like that once, but I talked my way out of it.

[QUOTE=Steerpike]Hell no. We just never went back.[/QUOTE]

My friend said he would help, so I may wind up paying nothing, or close to nothing. If its under 20 dollars I would be ok with it.

Out of curiosity, how the HELL can you manage to rack up 90 bucks in late fees? Aren't late fees only about 10 cents a day? :confused:

I think Steerpike should get a myspace. I would read the blogs everyday. Unless he has a myspace, in that case I'd like to see it.

I have a profile there, I just don't use it that often. I update it every now and again, and check every other day or so to see if some of my friends had anything interesting to say.

But for the most part, I just use it to annoy people I don't like. Almost all of my blogs are mini-rants by me saying something foul about things which in all consideration should be inconsequential. It's pretty tongue-in-cheek though.

I've met a few cool people that way, but the weird thing is that at least every other week I get a message from women in their early twenties who want to f[size=2]u[/size]ck me. I'm not kidding. Downside is that they're mostly kind of creepy. I check the profiles to see whether or not it's just a p0rn solicitation, and they always turn out to be real, but then I realize that if I did sleep with some of them, I'd have to doublebag the condom for [i]my[/i] protection. I'm really not into the whole f[size=2]u[/size]ckbuddy thing.
