I like backgammon a lot. It's sort of fun to play a game that is thousands of years old. Just like chess.

I wish I could find a senet board. Or even a go one.

n00bs, go!

You, know Riva, I would join you, but Communism and me don't mix well.

[QUOTE=Stoic]I've been obsessed with Backgammon the last few days and I must really convince myself to go to bed at the moment :-\

Isn't every Greek person obsessed with Backgammon? Whenver I've been to Greece I've always seen so many people playing it at all the restaurants, or tavernas I should say. I've never played it myself though.

Also, late night coursework sucks.

You'd have trouble using a senet board as anything more than showpiece, surely.

I never learned how to play backgammon but chess I really enjoy.

Yeah, I like chess alot.

I always re-learn and forget months later how to play Backgammon. The times when I do know how to play, though, I love it.

I like playing chess too.

[QUOTE=Stoic]James, tell me that you've finally managed to get the song![/QUOTE]
Yeah, I got it. Havn't listened to it yet. I'll tell you what I think of it tomorrow.

Currently I'm photoshopping together a picture of a Jackson RR5 and SL1 to try and get a rough idea for what my new guitar will look like. I've never seen an RR5 in transparent blue before, but that's what it is. Hopefully it will look as fancy as the black and white ones do.

NP: A Fair Judgement
NE: A banana

I <3 transparent black.

My DKMG is transparent black. It's a very sexy axe.

My low end Jackson is red.

The Schecter I want plays realy well and all, but the fret board inlays bother me. Its like overexagerated vines. It looks too...well like fancy I guess. I don't know how to say it :-/

I have to try them again, I tried one while I was on vacation and the good news is that the store I go to, might be bringing some in soon.

Finally, after two hours of photoshopping, I have an artificial picture of (roughly) what my new guitar is going to look like. The actual thing will have the transparent finish so it will be darker with the wood grain underneath, but you get the general idea with this picture.

What do you guys think?

Nice. I want another electric guitar. :(

/Hides until guitar talk is over.

Scrobs anyone?
Mine has gayed up and not updated.
Bah.

My scrob hasn't updated yet. :(

When did this happen?

Chinese checkers and dominoes are other quality games.

Or those big checkerboards that are the size of afghans and the checkers are like coasters. Those are awesome, too.

Make it all blue and add EMGs. Looks mad ugly with the white on it.

Giant checkerboards are ridiculously awesome.

RR 5? I love the RR series, if I could afford it I would. My scrob hasnt updated either.

I don't think I want EMGs. The guitar I have now has EMGs and I'm hoping the SDs will give me a better variation of tones between the two guitars.

I hope my scrob updates soon, that way I can show off how much I love Opeth.

Let me summarize Carlos Mencia's newest stand-up routine in three words:

Beaner
Wetback
Mexican
Border
DEH-DEH-DEH

Yet I'm still watching it.

I guess I like all kinds of comedy, even if it's repetitive.

He has told one pretty good joke, though, so far.

7 words?

Nah, that's one word. It just looks like three, but just put it in context (stand-up routine) and who's quoting it (a pretty redundant comedian).

Okay, well it's still 5 words.

His voice is so annoying.

I think he's either annoying and repetitive or rarely hilarious. He did have a good stand-up a while back but after the Mind of Mencia show came on he got really annoying.

Mencia was funny on his 2002 special, then much like ACDC his act never changed.

I might have said this earlier, I dunno, but last night was insane. I had some friends over after our Snowball Dance (go figure that it was 70+ degrees out). Some Russian kid I don't know was threatening to piss in my pockets because they were big (?), my one friend who was the sober guy for the night climbed down a rock wall face first, successfully, and we smoked cigars on the swing sets behind my house. Now my back hurts :(.

When does it start?

The Mencia routine, anyway.

9:00?

I remember when cigar smoking use to be dangerous and edgy. Then I became of age. I hate analyzing music.

Make sure you have your pinky up whilst drinking your tea. It's only polite.

Haha I can't hear (or see in this case) the word crumpet without thinking of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...

I never really watched TMNT.
