Ick, chlorine water is the bane of all things fun and aquatic.

[QUOTE=Taste_My_Scythe]Anyone here ever seen Stella? I saw half of an episode and was kinda weirded out. I love Michael Ian Black though.

I also saw VH1s Least Metal Moments. :lol: Great stuff, that. Alice Cooper playing golf....[/QUOTE]

I almost watched it...something else was on though.

One of the best shows on Comedy Central though: Reno 911. Freaking hilarious.

[QUOTE=RCA]
TMS: I saw the first two episodes. They were indeed weird, but each had a good amount of simple comedy.[/QUOTE]

Ah. The one I saw was about a paper boy route or something. I just thought that one line was funny:

Michael: They've got brass knuckles!
other dude: [I]and [/I] numchucks!
other dude: .....sweeeeet

EDIT: Mike - never seen Reno 911. The only stuff I watch on Comedy Central...religiously...is SouthPark and The Daily Show unless I catch something interesting.

I love that show but I haven't seen it in a while. It so freaking funny.

[QUOTE=Steerpike]Oh good, I'm not the only one who did that. I also tried to talk underwater like the fish dude in the old He-Man cartoon. That was a mistake I lived to regret.[/QUOTE]

I've got you all beat. When I was five, I would run around kicking dust and dirt into little clouds while imitating the train engines from "Thomas the Tank Engine." I would also use pool cues as muskets while reenacting Civil War battles in my backyard.

Actually, my Dad already has you beat. He saw a TV show when he was a kid with a guy who made a "Hercules belt." My dad, I think about 10 at the time, snuck into the garage and connected a belt to a set of jumper cables and the car battery. D[size=2]a[/size]mn near killed himself.

That's pretty awesome. :thumb: Props to you.
I was a pretty odd little kid. Didn't enjoy dolls too much. Was tri-lingual (more fluent than I am now) and loved Disney movies like Beauty and the Beast.

:lol: wow

I have the win...I have a picture of me when I was like 5 wearing underwear and a fireman's hat, while holding the vaccuum hose and pretending to be a fireman. <_<

Dan: Sorry I beat ya to that FG :p

This would be funnier and/or more shocking if I had any idea what a "Hercules belt" is.

EDIT: All the adults I met liked me because I would walk around singing Tom Petty and Eagles songs, because that's what my dad would always have me listen to in the car on trips.

About 10 years ago, my family was having one of our monthly movie nights. My parents were trying to play host to about 10 people in a small one-story house, so you can imagine it wasn't easy for them. I was in charge of watching my baby sister.

But then I had to go to the bathroom. She took that opportunity to escape from her room. I didn't know she left. An hour later, she turned up in the front yard carrying political signs and lawn ornaments from across the neighborhood under her arm.

And about 5 years before that... I can't believe I'm gonna tell you people this...

My family was eating out at Olga's restaurant in D.C. I went to the bathroom. For an hour. The men's room there was a single room that locked. So I tied up the bathroom for an hour. And I was singing. Loud enough for people about 20 feet from the door to hear.

The icing on the cake was the guy waiting at the door for 20 minutes before storming off in frustration for another restaurant's bathroom (this was at a mall). 30 seconds later, I come out all smiles and my parents are trying very hard to sink beneath everyone's notice.

:lol:

...and so started your singing career. :thumb:

[QUOTE=Cain]This would be funnier and/or more shocking if I had any idea what a "Hercules belt" is.[/QUOTE]

It was supposed to be a belt that infused you with energy and made you super-strong.

My then-pre-adolescent father decided that electricity would be best for powering something up. Clever little scamp, wasn't he?

[QUOTE=Cain]EDIT: All the adults I met liked me because I would walk around singing Tom Petty and Eagles songs, because that's what my dad would always have me listen to in the car on trips.[/QUOTE]

Most adults I met were spooked by me because they'd be having a decent conversation, look down, and realize it was with a three-year-old.

I went nearly two years without saying anything. I would just point and say, "Eh." That was how I communicated. Then, overnight I started speaking in complete sentences. I was perfectionist even back then.

EDIT to RCA: Well, would you look at that. Talking about my childhood and come up all 6's. I have to wonder if this is a coincidence or prelude to something more sinister.

Nice postcount there, 'Pike. :evil:

A quick [B]computer question[/B]: How do I convert a CD-RW into a small hard disk so that I can directly copy paste data? (my nero's not working...)

Are you trying to burn something without using a burn program?

exactly :D

I can help then! :p Assuming you're using windows?

Just select (highlight) the said files and right click. Click on "send to" and send it to your CD-RW. If you don't see a little balloon telling you that you have "files waiting to be burned", just go to the CD-RW and click "write files to CD". Voila!

it cant be that easy, I'm 99.666 % sure that it wont let me :angry:

/is hated by the computer

Anyway, give me a second...

Oh :upset: I hope it works. I have an XP and 98 and it works.

EDIT: Off now, gone to read HP6! Maybe I'll be back later on today, if not...see you all tomorrow. Check out our Metallica cover! :p

I'm betting TMS is right. :lol:

Cain, I managed to get mp3s and guitar tabs of the Satch songs you recommended. I did say [i]comparitively[/i] easy, so I can't really complain.

But it did have me laughing and crying at the same time. There's no way in hell my right hand will be able to move that fast in the foreseeable future. Even my left hand is going to have a hard time with some of this. And the harmonics on the opening riff to Up In the Sky are completely out of the question. I can barely extract a pinch harmonic out of my D-string second fret.

(Sigh) This certainly does help with perspective, though. It makes me very glad I'm not trying to make a career off of music, because I would starve to death before the end of the year. :p

My mom says I was always a "good kid"...whenever we had company I would be a little charmer :cool:

She says that I was always eloquent for my age, and that I would make every bust out laughing because I knew the words to so many James Brown songs.

Man, I have to say, "Diamonds" is the song of the year.

Who's that by, Ray?

hehe, like I said it didnt work but after a long time windows media (burning) worked through the right click thing :p. Happy reading!

[QUOTE=RCA]Who's that by, Ray?[/QUOTE]

Kanye West.

There's also a remix with Jay-Z lying around somewhere.

ATTN : THREAD.

Is this sly? This little bastard called Colin is having a party tonight, and he has been to everyone of mine and my mates. Me and my mate Ben get to the party and he goes 'I didn't invite you, this party is for trendy people only' and so we obviously leave.

If i call the police on his party as revenge is that childish and sly? I just personally feel ripped off considering he cracked a window in my house last time he was here at my party.

Don't do it.

One important thing my dad taught me: Never rat someone out.

I'll just punch him instead and make him pay for a new window.

[QUOTE=Arucard]I'll just punch him instead and make him pay for a new window.[/QUOTE]

Thats what I would do :thumb:

Good plan.

So, yeah, good whatever, dudes. I just woke up. Slow day again.

School starts August 9th here, that pisses me off!
