Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

My favorite movie from Newgrounds is the ongoing story of "Beebo: The Cat What Has Facial Hair."

Wouldn't this be a "Programming" Thread?

Just wondering.

Male
If "Natural Ice" counts, that's my answer. Otherwise, my favorite soda is "Jolt Citrus"

I must certainly agree to the the Evil Dead series being among my favorite movies in history.

In fact, I believe in the entirety of Sam Raimi's directorial carrer, and well, I can't think of a movie I didn't like Bruce Campbell in.

Campbell wrote a book, and I think it's hilarious. You should check out "If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a "B" Movie Actor" By Bruce Campbell.

My point is still valid, the world will not end because of just pop culture, or because you hate it.
Please limit your post to a couple lines, theres another rule for you, and damn you insulted my mother I am so pissed right now, woah boy I'm red hot.

First off-
If it was all about getting off topic, then there was no need to start by flinging insults at me.

Second off-
How do you know that the world won't end as a direct result of pop culture, or how much I hate it? Maybe someday I'll be in some sort of situation where I can start world war three by pushing a button just because I hate pop culture so much? Sure, I'll admit, it's farfetched, but it could happen.

Finally-
Sorry, slick, but as long as somebody who actually matters doesn't tell me to restrict my post to a few lines, then I'm afraid I can make these things as long as I want.

Mulder_xuk-
If these posts are too long for your thread, I apologize and will refrain from making such posts. But I'm not going to stop posting the way I feel is best just because some guy doesn't share my views and feels the need to lash out.

Thanks.

So, the longest consecutive time I've been awake is roughly 102 hours (4 days). I had moved to San Jose after just breaking up with my girlfriend of three years, to a friendless, high crime, high cost of living, soulless hellhole. Joy.

I suffered a nervous breakdown, and didn't eat much, and lost 30 lbs, which is why I only weigh 130 lbs now. All I could do was sit on my balcony at night and cry. For a week straight. That's really it. My eyes hurt from all the crying, and I only slept after passing out from exhaustion.

So, in closing, it could be worse. You could have been me 6 months ago.

Get drunk. That'll end your sleeping problems quick.

1. "n00b"
2. "OMG"
3. "WTF"
4. "r0x0rs"
5. "ROTFLMAO"

Internet abbreviations have their place. "BRB", "LOL" (to a point)and the like serve a useful purpose.

Otherwise, I believe not writing out "What the fuck?" Causes you to lose some meaning.

Anyway, hopefully these phrases don't become a part of everyday language. We don't need more stupidity running rampant.

"Free". That's my favorite alcoholic drink. Then "Cold".

Government Cheese. You know, it's kinda like Velveeta?

Man, the government sucks at doing all kinds of things, but making cheese is NOT one of them. I couldn't get enough of this stuff.

Sadly, I don't seem to ba able to get it anymore...

Oh well. Such is life.

Je suis nouveau au Français, et au AM apprenant toujours, mais je pense que c'est un amorçage intéressant. Je ne suis pas un Latino, ainsi j'espère que je puis encore signaler, mais il est intéressant de vous voir prendre cet itinéraire.

Wade-

Do it. This site needs honest reviewers. If you think it's too harsh, then shit-can them to level one. Or suspend voting priviledges. I'm sure you and Lil' Jim can come up with some sort of system.

Few things bother me as much as people who give nothing but 0's on movies, and those who give nothing but 0's and 5's. People need to score the movies without reference to "Blam" and "Protection" Points.

Alas- It is but a dream. The points system is just too cool, and I don't see any way of making it any more fair that doesn't require too much work or constant supervision.

Anyway, rule as you see fit. It is your guys' website. Congrats on your child.

I agree with invincible on this one. Let the guy rest in peace. It's bad enough Courtney has published his private journals.

I dunno if any of you have read my posts, but I have a hatred for Brittany Spears that few can surpass.

As for the author's original post, I too, am a writer (as can be seen from my profile). If anyone wishes for a sample, feel free to e-mail me, or to read my posts/reviews.

About your signature. Just for everyone's knowledge, Kurt Cobain was quoting Neil Young's "Hey Hey My My (Into the Blue)"

Okay, let's get some things straight.

One, Courtney was in police custody in Los Angeles while Kurt was dying/killed/committing suicide.

Two, the quest for the truth is trivialized by people who try to talk about this subject without, "Knowing what the fuck they're talking about."

You see, there are a host of things that could've happened. Granted, I also believe in a murder theory and as much as I hate Courtney, she wasn't the killer. Now whether or not she was involved in hiring/seducing/coercing someone else to do it, I don't know exactly. But to imply that she did it with her own hands is to believe that she doped him up and shot him in the head from three states away while in police custody. Impossible. Ludicrous.

Now if anyone wants to discuss this matter in depth and actually use some facts to back up what they say, email my friend at alberthathaway@hotmail.com

Until then, quit posting idiotic ramblings that are blatantly untrue.

*Whistles in a cat call*

Boy, golly gee. Fetishes on this website. Something I hadn't really expected to come across. Whee!

Well, I guess I'd have to say that I don't really have any particular fetish, other than getting the girl who was nice enough to sleep with me off first.

I'm not claiming to be a sexual dynamo or anything, but I just always make damn sure the experience is as pleasant for her as it is for me. Whenever something that would be considered by the mainstream sexual society to be "odd" comes up in the bedroom (or kitchen, back of a car... etc.)I always approach it with an open mind and a sensitivity for somebody else's feelings.

All of the stuff that's way off my radar, though, such as fecalphelia (like crapping on the date or vice-versa) or golden showers, the only way I'm going to go along with them on that is if I really love the person.

So, next time your boyfriend/girlfriend or both suggests something a little out of the ordinary, just think about it before you say no.

You might like it.

Hey, Flame-

I'm sorry if I killed your post, man.

I didn't mean to like, drive everybody off.

You're right.

It's idiotic what we're getting into here...

and it chills me to the bones. If the U.S. drops nukes on Iraq, you can bet that apocalyptic biological war is just around the corner. Wjile it's true that we're getting involved for all the wrong reasons, I think it's kind of (comforting??) that someone's going in to stop this madness. These people use religion as a manipulative tool (which has been done for centuries), they train their children from birth to hate Americans, the white devils, and all sorts of other things I just wouldn't be comfortable losing to a big fucking bomb.

Anywhoo, my feelings on the war are mixed.

Wish I had more of an opinion, but its something that sucks to have around, but it sucks to have to go get rid of too.

If it is not replaced, then the person should inevitably die from useless heat energy.

Bravo, Mr. Alakazam. I must say I'm impressed with your reseach into the laws of physics and enegy manipulation. Let's just hope there are more people that go out and do their homework (not that I'm bashing anyone in this thread, per se, just complimenting Al, here)before they decide to post thier opinions, eh?

I appreciate the knowledge. You learn something new everyday.

Just another thing with organized religion that makes me sick.

I don't understand what the point is in many religions to not do the natural things in life a person is supposed to do.

That's why these people lash out. They're all pent-up.

I'm surprised there aren't more catholic priests that are mass-murderers.

Plenty of religions tell you how to think, though. Stuff like never having sex, not eating meat, and others aren't healthy.

I don't care what you say about eating red meat.

Humans have sharp teeth, and flat teeth, to ingest, get this- a balanced diet. People are naturally omnivorous.

It's little things like this that push people off the edge into the realm of harmful thinking.

Just look at the extremists responsible for so much terrorist action. Look at all of the child-molesting Catholic priests. People aren't meant to live this way.

Maybe religion as a whole, needs a re-vamping to counteract it's natural restrictions?

Anyway, the whole religion thing appears to just be something for weak people to latch on to to explain what they can't through fairy tales, to me, anyway.

Boy, it sure does seem that the conversation has swayed from the original topic a bit.

Anywhoo-

I dunno what the specific beliefs are for everybody in this thread, but whatever they may be, has anyone here celebrated Halloween?

In ancient Europe, Halloween marked the end of harvest season and the beginning of winter by celebrating late in autumn. Pagans would celebrate and thank the gods for the harvest.

The Celtic pagan religious festival of the Druids called Samhain, celebrated an important transition in the annual cycle of the seasons beginning at sundown on the eve of October 31st. Spirits roamed the earth as Celts sought to ward off these spirits with offerings of food and drink. Bonfires were built on sacred hilltop sites as human and animal sacrifices honored Druid deities.

Pomona, goddess of the fruit trees, was worshipped during Samhain by the Romans and Celtics. The practice of bobbing for apples may derive from this association of Pomona.

Pope Gregory IV marked All Saints' day, a day to worship dead saints, in 835 A.D. to replace Samhain.

All Souls' day was instituted in place of Halloween by a French Monastery in 998 A.D.

The 1930s tamed Halloween with the modern ritual of trick-or-treating we know today.

Anyway, my point is, if any of you have gone trick-or-trating, you are all going to Hell, because you have participated in a paganistic belief.

See you there! :-P

Yeah maybe pop and reality tv is bad, maybe you want to destroy 'them all', but you probably couldn't wrestle your dick out of your slacks.

Why are people replying to this topic just to say 'I will kill you all. hahaha' or 'If I die you are all going with me.'?

Dear Mr. Semayaza-

Soooo sorry to have offended your sense of what a BBS post is supposed to be. It's true, plenty of people have just come on to say "I will destroy you all," but I reserved my rants for the realm of pop-culture, which is, in a sense, depicting humanity's own slow, downward spiral into oblivious anarchy.

Boy, next time I post, I'll be sure to think to myself: "Boy, will this post be understood by Mr. Semayaza? Should I dumb it down a little and use "hella" trendy words and phrases like "OMG" and "SKARED"? Or should I just continue to post so that everybody else gets it?"

It's a free country. It's a free BBS board. You're a prick. Back off.

Unless you like Brittany Spears and the Backstreet Boys.

As for wrestling my dick out of my pants, you're right. I save that job for your mom.

The end of the world can't be that far away. It's only a matter of time before people watch nothing but stupid reality shows, listen to bullshit pseudo-music from boy bands and pop princesses, and I go on a rampage and fucking DESTROY THEM ALL. Brittany Spears, the guy on "Joe Millionaire", nobody in the realm of idiotic pop-culture is safe.

The final sign of the apocalypse will come when there's a reality show about getting on to ANOTHER reality show! You just KNOW that that kind of asinine horse shit is just around the corner.

Why do people like this crap so much?

Nickelodeon seems to be a haven of good shows to kill.

Ren and Stimpy- The absolutely hilarious shock cartoon full of disgusting sight gags and side-splitting exaggeration depicting the adventures of one Ren Hoek (asthma-hound-chihuahua) and one Stimpson J. Cat, not to mention hundreds of secondary characters (the fat lady, the firman who hates circus midgets, and of course, Mr. Horse), was a revolution in cartoon history. They laid the foundation for such other cartoons dependant on gross visual comedy, which brings me to-

Rocko's Modern Life- My favorite show of all time, this show featured an easy-going wallaby of the show's title, his best friend Hef, a fat, overfed steer who was adopted by wolves, and Spunky, the dog who would eat anything.

This is just a sample of the quality shit Nick dispenses with. Other shows that were destroyed before their time include "The Angry Beavers," "Roundhouse," "Ahh! Real Monsters," "Pete & Pete," "Clarissa Explains It All" (C'mon...Even if you hate the show, it was worth it for her Ferguson-oriented video games), "You Can't Do That on Television," "Salute Your Shorts," and another cartoon that seems to have dropped off of the face of the Earth, "Invader Zim". Was Jhonen Vasquez a little too "out there" for Nick executives? How is it that all this stuff gets removed, and yet the crap remains?

"As Told By Ginger"? What the shit is this? "Doug" was on entirely too long also. How the fuck did "Doug" outlive "Ren & Stimpy"?? I'm not all that big a fan of "The Wild Thornberrys," but Tim Curry and Flea demand respect. The "Amanda" show? Are Nick executives TRYING to cause the untimely deaths of their audience?

I not a fan of the "Rugrats," but they were cool at first. Now that there's 37 new characters (Kimmy, Dyl, Susie, etc.), the show seems to have lost some it's original luster.

The only reasons to watch Nick nowadays involve a certain yellow porous cube, and two fairly odd fairies. That's it. "The Brothers Garcia?" "Taina??"

Why? What did we do to deserve this?

Anybody out there agree with me? Anything I missed? (Besides "Hey, Dude"... I have no comment on that.)

Dear Drugfilms Webmaster-

I'm glad that there are people out there with as much passion for this medium of art as you do.

It's a shame that many people tarnish the image of the portal viewer.

I dunno about you, but I see way, WAY too much crap late at night on the Portal. A lot of this crap deseves the BLAM.

But, then there are people who take a long time and turn out stuff that doesn't deserve to be blammed.

I understand that people log on, and blam movies that they don't even watch, just to get a blam point. That's bullshit. You should have to write a review for the bad movie saying why you didn't like it, and quote things from the movies they saw.

The only problem is that there'd be no way to enforce it.

Anywho, thanks for not submitting total crap, and for actually caring about this stuff.

-PJ

Sorry, but I have a huge rant about race-

I don't care who you are. I don't care what race you are. But I guarantee that you have been set at unease because of racial issues at one point or another.

Why is this, exactly? I don't know, but follow me on this scenario.

You're white (You might not be, but follow me. Just insert your own race in if you want.)

You're growing up in a town chock-full of white (whatever) folks. You're raised to respect everyone regardless of race, and treat them equally. There are no other members of your race in this town, nor do they attend your school.

Now-
One day, a black family moves to town. Their son or daughter goes to your school. He or she is in your classes, and you see he or she often.

So what happens when he or she sits down at your table? Don't you feel the least bit uncomfortable? Don't you feel that you suddenly must watch your speech very closely, sometimes? Why?

They're black. There's just a natural uncomfortability that stems from someone of a different color, (that is, until you get to know them) and usually I can't understand it (there's always people you'll always be uncomfortable around, and that transcends racial borders).

It's wierd. You just feel less comfortable around someone of a different race, because no matter how they were raised, there's an entirely different culture there. It doesn't matter if they were raised in the exact same environment you were.

Another important point that was made was the effect that the media has on racial perceptions. The rapper culture isn't helping race relations, because let's face it...

Whitey don't wanna be killed/capped/popped etc.

They way rappers portray themselves on TV only encourages ways to act that would be scoffed by other members of other cultures.

For example:

If you walk into the office of any Ivy-League college and say something along the lines of "What's all up in the hiz-ouse?", Honor roll and 1500 SAT's or not, you aren't getting in. It's a portrayal of ignorance, and whether these people are stupid or not is irrelevant. Their portrayal of said ignorance adds friction among "white?" culture, and they think it's racist when they don't get hired, recieve blank stares, etc.

You look stupid. You might be cool, but you look stupid.

Sorry. I don't care what race you are. If I want to hire somebody to fill a position, and you spell your words by removing "er" and adding an "a" (i.e. player/playa)or even worse, doing said letter replacement in plural form and instead add a "z" (i.e. players/playaz), you won't get the job (unless you are supposed to be "cool", like a dj, or mtv vj or whatever). White, black, green, purple. It doesn't matter- stupidity transcends race.

The problem here is that you need "cool" icons to start using "real" words in the media, and you need more people to embrace racial harmony. I'm white. I know that I look like a pompous asshole, but I can deal with that, because I'm going to say this:

Stop bitching about color. If everyone stops caring about this pointless crap, color cares will fade away. This is for all races.

Little old white lady- Only lead your children away from people who look like they rap. If they wanna dress like cop-killers, let them deal with it. But the black teen wearing something any other teen would doesn't deserve your bullshit, and black people are just like white people (contrary to what your brother/husband has said).

"Bling-Bling"ers-Let me use an exaggeration to prove a point. I don't wear a shirt around that says "I love to kill black people", because- A.) I don't, and B.)I don't want to be associated with those who do, regardless of how fucking "cool" (Remember, exaggeration... pretend it's in the South.) it may percieved to be. So stop bitching when white people run from you. If your media icons want to be known for it, think about following different icons.

Racial profiling exists for a reason. Lots and lots of people fit it. Chances are the white guy in the suit has a job at the office/bank/stock market. Chances are the guy in the man of latin descent wearing black dickies, a wife beater, stompin' boots, and a beanie just might be a gang member. That's all you need. Reasonable doubt. I know, it's wrong to assume these things, and it hurts when they aren't true (I'm Irish- not all Irishmen are pathetic losers who are drunk all of the time... although I am.), but I don't know one person out there who wouldn't risk their lives/wallets/etc., just to not hurt someone's feelings.

So, on behalf of everyone who was terrified of you for dressing a certain way, or for having a certain skin color, I apologize.

I also apologize for taking up all this space. If I've offended anyone, I'm sorry. These are my views on race, and I don't see the point in hating someone based on where they grew up, what color their skin is, etc.

I hate ignorant hate-mongers, and well, plenty of groups of other stupid people too.

Racism sucks ass. Racists suck more ass. Hate crime sucks the most ass of all.

We're all the same, biologically, so deal with the fact some people just happen to have less or more melanin in their skin.

Word.

Once again-

I realize that I didn't use the word "some," thus lumping all fat people into the same catgory. I know. My bad.

Oops.

Sorry.

The nastiness was only reseved for the stupid fat people, not the smart ones.

Anyway, how is it you think you are so messed up? If you can list each problem then why dont you turn them around?

I've been depressed before, and had plenty of problems from self-esteem while growing up.

But I merely meant that sentence as half joke/half turn of phrase to illustrate a point. Sure, I might be a level-headed person nowadays, but my childhood was a terrible, terrible experience.

I do appreciate your concern, though.

Thanks. :-)

Let me give you a brief synopsis of my life-

I come from a childhood of abuse and pain, divorce, drugs, alcohol, infidelity, and loss of innoence. My parents were great for the first 8 years of my life.

Then it all fell apart.

Both parents did all sorts of terrible things to their children (my brother and I are the only full-blood relatives in a group of 8 children.), and I spent more time raising my brother than my mom did.

So, at my current position in life, I life with my mom's girlfriend (my mom has been divorced twice), and her two kids.

My brother lives with my mom and half-sister (second marriage).

My other half-sister lives with my dad, his girlfriend, and her two kids.

It doesn't get much more dysfunctional than that.

There's all kinds of horror stories I could regale you with of my youth, but let's continue on with my point-

Yes, there are entirely too many divorces nowadays. Divorces mess children up. It forces them to grow up entirely too early, and can cause them to develop other problems, as well, such as issues with drug use, depression, and anger.

Marriage is certainly taken much to lightly nowadays. The number of "dysfunctional" homes now outnumbers the number of "nuclear" families. It's terrible.

My parents have since cleaned up, and have bettered thier acts, and for that, I'm proud. But the damage has already been done. I wouldn't trade the family I have now for the perfect family, but that's because I'm a product of their environment, and I love them all very much.

I just hope that today's generation of kids- "The Gen-X"ers and "Gen-Y"ers learn from their parents' mistakes, and marry someone they are truly in love with, and are willing to do everything they can to spend the rest of their lives with them.

The world doesn't need more fucked-up kids. Take it from me. I'm one of them.

Ahh...

The meaning of life...

It all feels like such a sick game sometimes, doesn't it? As for the meaning, I don't believe there is any. That's like asking "Why do people like Brittany Spears' music?"

You'll never know. It's an ongoing tirade of crap, that will eventually forgotten. Human beings are the same way, just on a much larger timescale (at least, I hope I outlive Britany Spears' musical career), and eventually something will happen, and humans will be gone forever. Even if we simply continue to evolve and don't end up killing each other, the evolved race will eventually dominate us, and we'll fade away, just like the neanderthal.

So, if you haven't seen any of the posts in "God vs. Athiest" I recommend going. I posted there on all my theories of "God", and don't want Wade or Tom to take this post down or anything for just reposting.

As far as my advice for the meaning of life, all I can say is don't dwell on such things. So what if there might not be a meaning to life. What you need to do is go out and enjoy all the little things. I know it sounds totally hokey and cliche', but if you focus on such things (a cold beer, boobs, macaroni & cheese, etc.) you really will notice an improvement in life. Just do what you can, and try to find happiness. It's what we're all after, although not all of us can find it.

Good Luck.

If you do find it, send me a postcard with the directions.

Word.
