No, Tony, they don't.

The whole planet used to be happy with the accomplishments of America, especially its epic break from the Crown of England, something unprecedented in human history.

Now I think the 4th is celebrated overseas, by folks who light our flag on fire and do a little dance.

The internet's grown since 2007, more diversions are around... and where were you?!

Maybe we should just let the BBS be it's own headless beast. There might come a day, where NG makes the news or something, then there'll be a lot of activity in a short space of time. The quality of posts here seems to be improving again, maybe the trend will hold, and attract more members and new people.

Guess this might not have been the best time (full moon) for such a gathering :\ Next time I'm by the library, I'll take out The Art of War, but I know that this thread should've won, before it was posted, or something to that effect.

It's at 124 now... the above posters must be looking at the number of folks in General :|

We're looking for a high number in the whole of the BBS http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/, not just its component forums.

That does seem quite filling in this situation.

Well, it's a quarter to 4, and there's 109 Newgroundians in the BBS, a far cry from the record, but maybe it'll peak around 4:20 or something. If the OP doesn't show up, he's going to have penguin excrement on his faic :|

I gotta return some phone calls, but maybe someone will catch a screenshot of the multitudes at its peak..

To be fair it probably wasn't near that fast, but it did smash a pretty huge crater in the side of the truck. It was a regular cab 1999 ford, and I didn't really get any bad injuries.

My neck and back is still a little sore, but it's not like "ohmahgerd I need medical attention"

Well, I was told you got about a week to get to the hospital, so they can at least shoot some x-rays at your back and neck, otherwise, they get pissy and may not pay the whole thing. If you start getting headaches, or hear weird shit when you move around, like cricking and cracking, go get checked out. Unless you got some kinda healthcare insurance from your job, you might be suffering later on with no way to take care of it.

I had severe contusions (massive bruising) all over my left side from an accident. 6 full days later while sitting on a lawnmower, I started to feel it. Within 2 hours, the fucking pain made me think my kidney or something got damaged. Next morning I went and got a CT done... 8 shitty hours later they said I was fine, but my neck and back had hellacious disc damage, and they turned out to be awfully correct :|

Neck started to lock up, unless I slept on it just so, lower back... I picked up a log (not even close to heavy), and the damaged disc just ruptured. The disc pressed on the spinal nerve, and the pain was indescribable. Took almost 2 hours just to get out of bed, and 3 days to settle down. Now I know how a grown man can cry and scream out like that, in the ER a few weeks before.

I don't think he's even touched down from San Diego yet. Besides, this is about the userbase showing off how gay we are for Newgrounds. We already know how gay the staff is so....

I'll show up I'm sure.

Welcome to the Hotel California of websites....

Shit, maybe we should hurry up and call out predictions, maybe place wagers or some shit :) I'll say 73 users will stand to be accounted, out of optimism's sake. Besides, really hoping the numbers will go up, after 4 o'clock (EST) as ppl come into check the numbers.

I'm just going to drop this abandoned puppy right here :| "DOJ Sends Secret 'Peacekeepers' To Where Martin Was Killed" is the headline, and (allegedly) has DOJ documents saying, they had their boys boots on the ground PDQ, to make sure the press had something to report about... which were local efforts to create a fuss over this.. with our tax dollars.

Mainstream press ain't gonna make a fuss over the DOJ papers... why gag the golden goose (ratings) the administration promised? The press is corporate owned, and they report to shareholders, not the public... we get what sells, nothing else!

Murder in the US is a dime a dozen, and has become the cannon fodder of what used to be our local news. Go back 20-30 years ago, and TV news looked a shit-load different; they had it packed with news, real stuff, not fabricated fluff pieces or celebrity shenanigans. They also sure as shit didn't have jury trials on TV, they had court artists color-sketch pictures of the proceedings (to protect the jurors and witnesses)!! And the murder rate was even higher then, before TV made us afraid to go outside, except to buy shit we don't need.

Granted, I'm the last person who should be posting about this, since I saw none of the (show) trial on the idiot box. But I do know this whole thing stinks of a setup. We got North Koran ships trading missile parts through the Panama Canal, a bona fide US propaganda machine just let loose in our country, and a deficit that mysteriously stalled a few million bucks from the government mandated cut-off limit.

Oh! Look over here <==!!11!, while the biggest ass-rape of the last free nation on Earth goes on, all around us. Our administration is playing a cheap shell game with us, just to make sure we're under their heel, black, white and hispanic alike. Sucks some poor kid got shot, but I sure as shit ain't gonna lose my inalienable civil rights over it!!!! Damn all those who took advantage of this terrible (isolated and very local) situation.

Almost 18 thousand posts here, and you can't be assed to be counted? Is the OP really that annoying to you, or is it just too conformist and mainstream to do something for Newgrounds?

Wow, cool story bro! Hope we see more shots of Comic-Con pop up! It'd be like playing "Where's Luis?", Waldo, whatever..

Funny, Tom coming back the same day the BBS sit-in is scheduled. With any luck, we can show our support for this site, just by being here at a certain time (which is 4PM EST this coming Tuesday, in the BBS).

Shouldn't be hard to ask this lot to keep a browser tab of the BBS open....

However the joke wasn't funny.

It was never funny, but Zimmerman is completely overrated. We need to move on from this guy.

Zimmerman is one of the many, many people who shot an unarmed teenager who was supposedly acting unruly and violent. This case just got a lot of attention out of luck, really.

Wasn't luck, it was a case cherry-picked by the DOJ. They had a team from their own "Community Relations Service", to create civil unrest and protests calling this a racial issue... allegedly. Considering the unprecedented press coverage on a non-celebrity case, this might actually be part of a wider push, to instigate racial conflicts between our citizens. Why? No fucking clue. But here's the smoking gun that the rest of the so-called free press refused to reveal... if these are actual DOJ papers being quoted, I'd say more brain-washing is going on... again.

Yup. Tuesday, July 23, 2013 at 4:00 p.m. is still on my messy calendar.

Still haven't mentioned it to the non-BBS members I know... for fear of them screaming in horror at the things that can get said and/or viewed in here :|

God, I hate networking problems, especially with different OS'es and printers and things. Where's that Trapper Keeper 2000, plug n' play tech billy-boy promised us?!

Upload a demo voice dude, there's still a few sci-fi movies/games in production just now.

That being said, a friend gave both of them to me when he was getting rid of all his geeky star trek stuff, and me being a jealous collector who can't resist hoarding anything that has any value at all, of course I kept it

And why not? Now you got a virtual pair of signed Takei testicle videotape things...

Not to mention I do genuinely love TNG, and all the TNG movies were really good in my eyes

They certainly were not bad, but I felt the two Captains meeting in "Generations" was a little forced and/or awkward. Why would Jim Kirk be happier on Earth, when he spent so much time in space? I liked how Kirk was chopping firewood, and the bit with the lady upstairs, but they shoulda cut to the bridge of the old Enterprise before "riding off into the sunset"...

When George speaks, not only do his balls vibrate, but the listeners testicles will also shake :| Good score dude, you queue up at a convention to get them?

We will.

Ahh, that is a comfort! Guess I remembered things differently, before the first Abrams flick came out. Didn't care for the layers of "optical" effects, though somewhat convincing, ultimately overkill :|

The problem is "Enterprise". It bombed so badly with the core audience, you have to wonder, how they'll try to beat this "old dead horse" of a property (minus the new movies), back into action. I liked all the previous producers of Trek, but didn't care for Berman, he just... didn't get it sometimes.

But this is all... academic, until there's lobbying campaign to get behind... and even then, look at TOS and Firefly, who did have a grassroots fan-base. *raspberry* all for naught.

All his threats were external, but DS9 has corruption within the Federation and fallible, more human characters, not the enlightened philosophers his own two shows were populated with.

Still my favourite Star Trek, though.

Very likely true, Gene was a lover not a fighter. Making peace always looks boring, but he did he good job making it look interesting, even with TNG. But like the plot of the old movie "Forbidden Planet", no matter how far advanced we become, we're still fragile animals at the mercy of a corporeal existence.

Yeah, DS9's a real pearl, plenty to like about it, especially the realism.

Seems unlikely, since the entire canon series got broken by Nero and old Spock's time traveling shenanigans. "Enterprise" the series was a complete waste of time, and time will tell if the movies can hold their own, against the formidable past Star Trek series/movies.

I would like to see the series return, either after or before Picard's reign, but as usual, politics trump morality, which seems sorely lacking in broadcast TV shows lately... I think, haven't bothered with teh TV in some time :(

Things are definitely starting to get more interesting and these continual story arcs are definitely a welcome change over the TOS and TNG adventure of the week episodes. I still like that format, but having some continuation in the series definitely helps to add that "I wonder what will happen next" factor.

You won't be disappointed with the rest of the series then. The continual story arcs really facilitate all the nuances of real life issues, though not as many as Babylon 5 might have done IMO. The war with he Dominion versus the Alpha Quadrant, is not unlike WWII, in which Gene Roddenberry served as a pilot (and later as an L.A. cop). There's plenty of twists and turns, new organizations and main characters in store. Enjoy your discovery of this underestimated ST series :)

So what's your friend's opinion of him? If you share a lot in common with your friend, wouldn't his candidate dad be pretty close to the mark, as far as morals, policy, etc? Has this guy held public office before? Under what party will he be running?

If he's running as an Independent, best of luck to him, hope he sticks to his guns (if he's not a pussy and actually does own some guns).

Yeah we do, don't we? The most populous state in the union, and all the rest of the country can do, is focus on the bad stuff. Why can't they just ignore it like we Jerseyites do?

I really love the bumper stickers that say "Jersey Strong"... thanks to the worst taxes in the US, the highest cancer rate and the highest asshole-per-capita rate, it should be "Jersey Wrong". Unless you're making over 60K a year, staying here and paying outrageous prices doesn't make sense.

Maybe I'd be a little more sanguine about this, but the better friends I've made here, end up moving away, thanks to the cost of living.

It would be cool to see. Tom and Newgrounds in general makes no demands on it's membership whatsoever... except for voting on Fridays and holidays, when the flood of UJ content stuff gums up the works.

The sum of all human knowledge is not on the internet, nor probably will be for some time. Personal experiences and conversations outside the internet, are not part of the public record (unless Google is successful in promoting the"devil's mark"). And don't let's forget who writes the history books, data bases and search engine hits... The internet is still a new thing, and as such, a vast majority of published works are not available online.

But yeah, if someone says look it up, points off for not doing the "legwork" in this digital, mental masturbation chamber.

Everyone has a first car. This would be my first "Max Max" type car. I'd have to see how it handled before I could make a more informed selection... not crazy about the open cabin though. It's from an 80's sci-fi flick called "Ice Pirates".

Brian Johnson of AC/DC played a huge gig in Moscow, right after Yeltsin had his big protest. Outside the stadium, and after the show, Brain was wandering around drunk in the dark, when he stopped off at a pillar to have a slash. Before he finished, a Russian solider came screaming out of the dark, "Nyet, nyet!!", AK held before him.

Wasn't a mop bucket, but a monument to Sputnik.

not a big surprise that a pseudo-intellectual like you listens to rammstein

Usually don't listen to stuff with foreign lyrics, but it's a catchy tune. If you know anyone over 40, ask them about how things were before the 1980's. Wasn't long after the hippies faded away, the company mergers sped up, then the mass-media got bought, laid-off and de-clawed. After all the strife of the late 60's, not many people would speak out. Then the blandness and trivialities seeped in, and masqueraded as important culture and news.

Our culture used to be based on diversity, now it's based on what the media and government tells us is relevant... or am I just a bitter old fart, who doesn't get out enough? I'm telling you, all this looks like a 20th century, sci-fi B-movie to me :|
