Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

I have recently been piecing together a drum kit from various used junk I could find on Craigslist, and the whole sucher cost me around $525, which isn't bad for drums and hardware, with a splash cymbal thrown in to boot.

The crash cymbal was the last addition to my kit. It is an Orion Viziuss 16" crash, and although I'd never heard of Orion cymbals, I wasn't too apprehensive. I bought it, plus a stand and a nifty little cymbal bag, earlier today. When I got home, I set it up, and prepared to give it a good whack because I was pretty happy to see my kit completed.

It didn't crash. Instead, I got a resonant ding sound like a ride cymbal. I tapped it a few more times, and it still sounded very ridey to me. Growing frustrated, I smacked it with all my might. It made a sound that vaguely resemeled a crash, but didn't have the punch I needed. Annoyingly enough, I spent $55 on that thing and it was one mof the more expensive parts of the set.

The moral:
1. Always by cymbals from trusted manufacturers, or at least test them first.
2. Craigslist isn't always the best place for used junk. Caveat emptor.

I found this rather enjoyable game, an I wish to share it with all of you.

Here's my favorite:

4kids ruined OnePiece. The comic version is good, but once they censored it to their specs, it failed.

Straight razors FTW.

Open the door yourself, lazy.

And kick the 6th grader.

Read the book. It's better. Anime versions usually suck.

Does it matter?

Addiction is a terrible thing.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

God DOES have a sense of humor!

And it's perverted =3

Paintball is better because you can hit people with white paintballs and bug them about getting cummed upon.

What websites do you often use other than NG? I pretty much have only one other, and it is nitrome.com. It's a games website, and the games all have a distinctive style.

So, what other websites are you frequently on?

After 7.

If you don't like it, don't watch it.

White trash with greasy hair FTW.

That happens to me, but only because I sleep like a log.

Eh, little kids swearing alway comes off as stupid. They think it'll make them look cool, but it doesn't. (Newsflash: THat goees for you NGers too. Swearing doesn't make you look cool). I also hate little kids because they can get what they want just because they're little. They manage to pull the wool over the eyes of any adults in the area and control them as if they were on strings. When I get older, I'll still be immune to little kids. (Try to control me now! ha)

If people here are neutral on a topic, they will often post criticism of the topic just they think it makes the "rebellious". Only people who truly care for the topic will post nicely.

My experiments.

Well, now you'll look like John Travolta!

Yeah, but those shows fail.

I am sorely insluted.

I wish to wash my Irish wristwatch.

So, earlier today, I hopped into a convenience store to grab me a bottle of soda, and while I waited in the rather long checkout line, I noticed some lewd magazines behind the counter. I scanned the text for no real reason, but it was all generic (busty beauty blahdy blah) stuff, except for one thing.
On the toop of one magazine, it said "Win hot secks with (whoever)!" I immediately thought "Would that be legal?" I mean, technically, it's not prostitution, but i dunno.

Discuss.

The Xombie's name is Dirge.
The series is called Xombie.

Watch out for the perverts.
