18 pages of horny NGers deriding and insulting Newbery Medal winner Linda Sue Park for acting like a lesbian feminazi for trying to take away their sex. Lol, only on NG.
Energy drinks, and by extension, people that drink them, suck.
You could dissolve a caffeine tablet and a multivitamin in battery acid, and call it an energy drink, and people would lap it up.
Happiness is flying down a deserted Southern road on a sultry summer night, windows down, sunroof open, the Eagles blaring from the radio.

Nope. Made it specifically for this post.
I use text images like that to convey symbols and text that couldn't otherwise be conveyed. Here's another example:

Or rather, our sub-atomic components will. Possibly.
That's far too big for my purposes. Someone should make a "NG in a Box" in a Box.

Some of it is. But the difference is, it's an amalgamation of thousands of experiences, not just yours and a couple of people you know. Moreover, the data that do rely on people's experience is usually less accurate than that of "hard" data--counts, scientific numbers, etc. That's why exit polls can differ wildly from the election's actual returns.
I should add that, if you present enough hard data, you assume an air of experience. If you're able to cite every one of your assertions with data and facts, you look like an expert on the subject.
And besides, when someone tells you their experience with something, they could always be lying. There's no way to prove, disprove, or rebut it, making invalid as evidence.
Simple. Voting Power. They want to build up experience so they can build up their power.
And while they may not post frequently, who's to say they aren't lurking.
Some of them are watching you post right now.

No it doesn't. It's very gentlemanly and indicative of a very solid set of morals and manners. Just because a woman may not reciprocate those moral s and manners doesn't diminish his in the least.

Lol. I like how the NG mag is just a couple of abandon houses over in the middle of nowhere.
You should make something Newgrounds shaped, though. Like a railroad in the shape of "NG" or a lake shaped like the tank logo.

From Wikipedia's page on C-4: "The final material is an off-white solid with a feel similar to modelling clay."

No, a 4 chan city would also have to be full of nuclear waste. :-þ

Now this is a SimCity.
I should add that I made it myself, and the only thing edited in SCURK was the landscape. All the buildings and funds were raised in the game with no cheat codes.
What a piece of crap.
Now this is a SimCity. It's a model of Memphis, TN. It has the Mississippi River, Graceland, Memphis Int'l Airport, MacKellar Lake, T. O. Fuller State Park, the I-55 and I-40 bridges, Mud Island...

Remember, clones have to be born and raised just like any other human being. It's not like sci-fi, where you can just go BLEEP BLOOP BLORP and *poof*, there's a copy of you.
You would have to insert the DNA into all of the cells of that organism. Cloning is done at the fertilization stage because the DNA only has to be inserted into one cell. The more cells there are, the harder it would be. It would be impossible in practice to insert enough DNA into a living, grown or adolescent, or even baby human to make any sort of genetical difference.
Yeah, I tend to say stuff, then turn right around and say it again. I'm very forgetful.

d00d, the last time I remember an admin talking about bandwidth, they already have 8 Terabytes of bandwidth transfer.

Someone who actually creates quality stuff can judge better aswell as give much better advice to a fellow author. I love how no one feels the same way.
Well, opinions are like butts, everyone has one.
Back when I first started here on this site, I made a couple of audios and submitted them to the audio portal. They're not astounding-they're not really all that good, to be honest. One of them may cause serious brain damage if you were to listen to it. But I did it because I felt that I would be looked down upon if I didn't have anything to contribute.
As I spent more time on the website though, I began to realize that the validity of your opinions is what counted, not the amount of flash or what not you may have.
You don't have to create flash to realize what's good and bad. Your mindset is the same as a person, who when faced with a logical, honest, constructive criticism of their flash, goes "Flash by XXXXXX: -none-".
It's also a very condescending mindset, that just because someone doesn't bother to throw together a quick, crappy flash, their opinions can be ignored or downplayed, regardless of their validity.

You'd still be a citizen.
If two U.S. citizens, one or both of which have lived in the United States at some point in their lives, have a baby, regardless of where they have the baby, it is a U.S. citizen.
If they have the baby in Burkina Faso? U.S. Citizen.
If they have the baby in orbit? U.S. Citizen.
If they have the baby in The Phantom Zone? U.S. Citizen.
I find it so ironic that a black preacher is complaining about hate crimes bills. If they're so prohibitive against free speech, why don't we repeal the ones protecting blacks?
The slope that, because Australia and Sweden supposedly have laws against hate speech, that this bill will do it too, despite absolutely no provision in the bill for it, is so slippery that scientists should be looking into it as a replacement for teflon in non-stick cookware.

It wouldn't hurt to to check, what with Lowe's (and every other employer in this town) jerking me around like this.
When I went out looking for a job back during 2003, I put in at least 90 applications before I lost count. Of those 90, only Sam's Club called me back. And at this time of year, when students picking up summer jobs head back to school, and as the sales start picking up coming out of the summer, it's probably one of the better times to look.
If you can-get an overnight shift. You get paid more, and you don't have to deal with customers.Hm... it would be interesting to meet the kind of folks who would shop at a Sam's Club at 2 in the morning.
That's the thing--there aren't any! They're only open from 7 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.
