I went into the kitchen, pulled down my pants, struck a match and let one rip. The fart was smallish, but the follow-through was phenomenal. It was as if my anus was a dam wall, and a rushing brown torrent had burst through. This extinguished the flame, and splattered onto my pants and the floor. I reckon there was a half-liter of poop in there.

People who dont say what they mean and try to sugarcoat it. Almost my entire family does this ARGH! IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM SAY SOMETHING DONT JUST POUT TO YOURSELF AND WHISPER ABOUT IT TO SOMEONE ELSE ! BALLS UP AND SAY WHAT YOU WANT!

taller than my dad because he slouches but when he stands straight we're the same height. My sister is WAY shorter, about three inches. So shes 29 and im 17 and it looks really odd when i follow her around or shes telling me what to do because i look like the older one.

maybe they could tell you the proper english version to what you just said.

When did you first learn about Newgrounds?

I was thirteen and i was told there was sexy goings on here.

What do you most enjoy about the site?

The forums, i like the crazy stuff and people that go on here.

Given one day at the reins of the site, what would you change, what would you fix?

i would give a serious look see at the mods, i don't believe ALL of the are corrupt, but some just aren't doing what they have to.

Is there anything you miss, that you'd like to see back? (I.E. Old Blam/Save Animations)

I miss the notifications that told me my favorite animator uploaded something new.

he also said..."on 9/11 there were no Jews inside the twin towers when 3000 work there." that sounded and little odd...but that was after he mentioned he was making cake so i just ignored it.

A guy from Italy is paying to live with my family to take acting classes, and he has to be the MOST HOSPITABLE AMAZING PERSON EVER!!! so far he's made us pasta, and two tiramisu cakes.

I think a good way to make Americans smarter is to give everyone a foreigner, i was showing him around and even though his english was pretty good there were things he read that he couldnt understand like "compelled" and "haunted" so i had to think fast and give him a easier synonym, and no one wants to look like a dumbass for not knowing their own language.

I also had to focus more on what i was saying because i wasn't actually speaking correct english, like for example i would say "yes this kid i know is smart but he acts out a lot" i don't know if it's just where i'm from or common slang no one really thinks about, but as we all know a kid means a CHILD, but when i said "kid" i meant "teenager" someone my age. So he thought i was talking about a child, and there was a lot of confusion. You have to be really specific and very conscious of what you're saying and how you are saying it. I also had to simplify my vocabulary so instead of saying "Paleolithic" i said "Cavemen" to make it easier for him and save a possible explanation. So everyone get a foreigner and start learning english together!!

when i get sleepy things start to vibrate but its only then.

So for those of you in college 5 list the similarities and differences between highschool and college, and for those of you in highschool please list what you have to put up with in highschool, and what you think will be new about college.

Highschool- Loud assholes who have nothing interesting to say

Teachers that get on your back and practically pop around every corner

a well designed cage

mundane routine that's similar to prison

sneaking around just to smoke pot or drink

College- Loud assholes who STILL have nothing interesting to say

A very expensive cage with plenty of freedom, be lazy at your own risk and waste tuition money.

Teachers who don't care what you do as long as you follow their rules, which is easier said than done because they'll shit up a storm if you miss an assigment unlike most highschools where you get like...3 months to make it up.

"sneaking" around for pot and drinking, caution is exercised for both except drinking if you're overage, but after the first year people stop being secretive, since the school doesn't care but that doesn't mean you can go to class smoking it either.

go to the bathroom without asking. I know this may not sound like a big deal, but i HATE the fact that all my life i've been ASKING to go to the bathroom. WHAT KIND OF SICK SHIT IS THAT??! i know why you have to ask...it's just...jesus...i've nearly pissed my pants on several occasions because other kids didn't come back to class after asking to go to the bathroom causing the teacher to mistrust EVERYONE! in college thank GOD you can just run out and stay out even for 20 minutes if the teachers an idiot.

I too thought people in university/college would be more sophisticated and intellectual, but i am sad to report it's the same assholes in a new building.

you'd think guys would be in to a girl who likes comics, movies, and videogames but no....HAR HAR HAR SO FOOLISH!

oh right it's because i'm an asshole....siigh...

Has a random person done something nice for you either knowingly or unknowingly? today this lady turned my day around.

So i'm an art student, and you may or may not know we're pretty sensitive about our art. My teacher was telling me that the painting i was doing was all wrong, the lighting was off and blah blah, so i got depressed because who likes to be told they're doing crap at the only thing they're talented at? i was REALLY struggling, and he wasn't doing much but criticizing me despite the fact i asked for help at least he said that another painting i did was great, which i took home.

As i walked home a lady stopped me just i was thinking "wow one great painting...i'm crap...how can i keep up with these talented kids?" she said "that's really great!" most people don't compliment things they like to random people so it meant a lot to hear her say that, and hearing it from someone who doesn't even know me made it that much better because at least i know it wasn't fake, and she didn't have anything to gain by giving a compliment.

trying hard to stop selling myself short ^^

i have a couple times in my life, but i can never remember the words to any song, so whats the point?

almost monthly. I'm italian haitian, so that means i could be indian, any middle eastern, any latino, or just a really light skinned black girl. It's fun sometimes but other times it bugs me when someone trys to talk to me in a different language. I'm in a ENGLISH speaking country, speak to me in ENGLISH.

split ends. I've been told i have them and in response i say "OHH NO WAAAAY I CANT BELIEVE I DONT GIVE A FUNKY FUCK WHY DONT YOU GET A LIFE AND STOP ANALYZING MY HAIR!?!?" seriously...split ends?

yes it gets much better. Give new moon a try and if still doesnt interest you leave it. It's really a love hate thing. Either you love romance or you hate it. Or you can just barely tolerate it.

I think people are afraid of dying, or losing someone. I'm not afraid of death. I think it'll be like being born but reversed. Something you don't remember, don't realize when it's happening, or feel. Or like sleeping for a better example, we don't know when we're assleep, we only know falling assleep and about to wake up. But it is peaceful and relaxing. Maybe that's why the dead look so calm. it's like sleeping and we won't even know it.

we want her to, she used to go but she stopped. She knows she should go back, but she's so driven in her work...she can't find the time. My dads sent me to therapy. Other than this death issues, i'm ok, well that and being unsociable, but that's not something i mind as much. I'd gladly trade my therapy for her. She needs it more.

I'm not religious. Actually i get a little irritated about any religious talk of any kind. It's not that i don't find the importance in christianity. I think something that can bring people faith when they have none left is great. I just don't like the fact that almost everyone who believes in the bible and talks about "sin" and shit, can't follow the rules of the religion they love so much.

You can't just pick and choose what you do and don't like, either you're a follower or not, and the way i understand it is, if you don't repent for your sins you go to hell, if you kill and you repent, heaven for you. Sounds fucked up to me. So i'm an agnostic, i believe there might be spirits and maybe some kind of nirvana you go to if you have a good soul, i believe not in a christian god, but a power an unexplicable force somewhere, and if that force thinks that i shouldn't be happy for eternity because i didn't worship it enough, well then if there is a hell send me down, shit at least the devil isn't so picky about membership.

She lost her mom when she was 6, that's where it's coming from. Lots of people are like that. And i have a older parent and i have to cope with the fact that he won't see me married, or have kids, or even be with me when i'm 30 most likely. So i have a bit of fear myself, just not as intense. Nobody likes time limits. It's not something most people can understand until they lose family and friends all at once much later in life, or they themselves start to lose their life.

Well lol don't talk to anyone older than you about it. My sister spoke to my dad and he was like "OH MY GOD ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!? YOURE 28 IM 66 WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO!?!" it's like a skinny girl telling a fat girl she feels fat. It's just obnoxious. Try to enjoy life, and have as few regrets as possible.

As for you thought, have you talk to your father about this? I know you said that you ain't much freak out as your sister but you be surpsie to know that your father could have thought about this since your mum is moving, I had a word with my dad 2 years ago about this as I knew it had to be done and I didn't want to wait to like he in hospital or worse his deathbed to talk about it.

great! a serious reply for once. My dad, my sister and i all sat and had a talk about her fear and him coming closer to the end. She burst out in tears because we made it very clear that he only has an average of 20 years MAYBE to live. She scoffed and was like "oh that's forever...you're overreacting he's fine." but she isn't aware of time like my dad and i, most people aren't. 20 years go by very very fast. Think about 5 years ago? doesn't that seem like yesterday? people don't realize that the future is just around the corner.

I'm worried for my dad because it's scary living with someone who has a countdown to death, i mean anyone can die at any time, but with a older person...it's like WATCHING it, knowing it's coming at anytime, heart attack, stroke, anything can happen anytime. I try not to get in to my discussions about my fears with him, i'm sure he's scared, we both try to hide our fears so we don't hurt eachother.

There's really nothing to say, "dad don't die?" ya lol not much can be done here. I'm just trying to enjoy everyday i have with him. We've spoken a bit about it, but i haven't let him know how much it's really getting to me, but we both know that if he were to die tomorrow for example, my life would fall apart, i would have to leave college and so much other fucked up shit.

I lost all fear of death when suddenly in my 14th I realized how easy a belief can change your look on the world.
I feared death, and feared of spending my life in a wrong way.

thats the difference between my sister and me. She's afraid of dying herself, i'm afraid of someone i know dying. I've had family die. But they weren't close to me, not like my dad, i see him everyday and talk with him. My grandparents, i did love them and there are things i miss. I just wasn't THAT close. I'm really not afraid of dying myself, i feel like i dont have much to live for anyways. Not trying to be dramatic, but i don't have any friends, or trustworthy ones, and i don't talk to most of my family. So i'm afraid of my dad dying because i can handle leaving someone a lot easier than someone leaving me.

my grandma said while she was dying "it's amazing how everything you hold important doesn't matter anymore." all your values and beliefs just wash away when you're dying. I think people want to feel that they do something really important so when they die they can hold on to a little bit of the dignity that death takes away.

she went in a hot air balloon, and rode on camels. I'm sure that's going to come during her mid life crisis. My dad said "Thank god i'll be dead when that happens...good luck to you." lol.

It's really bad. She's only 28 but she feels like she's about to die and panics at the thought of wasting life. Which is silly, she's accomplished more in 28 years than most could in a life. She's gotten married, found a job with the UN, got a law degree, travelled around europe and the middle east.

Yet she feels like she hasn't accomplished anything. Our dad is about 66, and he's a constant reminder of death to her and me. I'm not really as freaked out as she is, but i have nightmares of him dying, because i know that with how he has a diabetes, and since i plan to be living in the house for awhile and i'm the one who spends the most time with him, i can't see him living past 15 years. And i know my mom plans on leaving back to her home country next year, and will only come back every few months. It'll just be me and him.

So the fact of the matter is....i'm the one who is going to find his body. That is if he's at home. I KNOW that is creepy and morbid to think of. But most people don't think about the fact that someday they'll have to deal with a loved one dying or dead, and because my dad is a old parent im going to have to deal with it a lot sooner, i can't just run away to other country and pretend it won't happen like my sister.

And most of you probably have parents in their 30s and 40s so it's something you don't really find the need to process. But i'm seeing him age, and i'm panicing, i'm close to him and i don't know what to do without him, no one else talks to me in my family.

I can already see it happening, that my mom won't be here, and i'll be in the house alone with him, just like now, and it'll be my responsibility to call the ambulance, and wait. I'm so sorrry for the drama, but this has been driving me insane, seeing him take so much medicine, and looking older by the day it's horrible. So i want to know did any of you have to deal with someone really close die? or dying? how did you deal with it or come to terms with it?

cuz they jiggle funny and that makes it naughty deeheee!

His gf should break up with him for saying shit like that! pig...wait...does he even have a gf? maybe you should double check his story.
