Indeed, BIGMANBRAINY is on his way out aswell. I believe he was in the mid 30's at one point.

Yeah, i believe i remember that time, because it wasn't so long ago really but now he's just slowly making his way down and possibly out of the top 50.

Hey everybody, just stopped by outta boredom, whats happening y'all?

Damn it's the man himself. Where have you been man? I don't think i have ever seen you do more than a post on a page. Except for the earlier pages of course.

Long time no see. Instead of these fleeting vists, why don't you make a more permanent stay?

Why seems I'm known as the man to people and users I dont even know, lol kool.

Sorry Leeboy cant stay but I try to visit every cahnce I get and Recon keeps me posted on everything that happens.

By the way please to tell recon to check his mail, I'm still waiting for me weekly email bud.

Why not? I'm sure you can stay for at least a few more posts.

Can't you see what's happening Joe? The man is slowly turning into a living legend with his prolonged absence. Most people out there instantly notice when spancker hits this forum. He only started one of the largest topics on Newgrounds..... and it keeps getting bigger! I guess I'll be sending him an e-mail tonight since he reminded me right here in the Lounge. I can't pretend I didn't see his post (lol). I still haven't given up hope about his return.

I'm a whore for alias's, as you've probably seen. They're like Pringles to me, once I've popped I can't stop!

Silly spancker, always with his rare and small appearances. Stay for longer damn you!

I passed those two assholes depositing right behind me again. That'll show them... >:(

Good luck with it. If you do make it, and Nijsse pops you back out, you'll still have to make the top 50 and slide out twice more to tie Mieli.

Doesn't look like I'll stay ahead long enough for Nijsse to pop me out. He's only 10 points behind and I'm going out today. I'm going to need 1,000 points to get in the top 50 instead of the 300 I needed before. As for Miele, did you look at the amount he had? He has 11,106, not 12,106.

For those not in the know, "sixth grade" in music is the highest level, not the end of elementary school.

Actually it's eighth grade, before university.

Lost two points for "Form and Posture" dropping me to a 97 and the cut was 98 and never made it past States :-P~~~

Aww, that sucks. It's going to suck for me if I don't finish all my TAFE work, but your story was worse as you missed it because of one mistake. I'll try not to do anything silly for a while.

I don't know whether you meant it or not, but you just quoted my original alias.

You've probably popped a fair few times in your time, as your name would suggest.

You would naturally think so after reading my alias, but here is my post in the "explain what your name means thread."

Isn't it always?

I would most certainly hope so.

Does anyone know how to take screenshots with a iMac? My connection died on my PC and I have been banished to this shit Mac. I am coming on to l337 save count and I think it's worth a screenie so, Either someone randomly gets it for me, or Someone tells me how to do it. Thanks!

I know. He's made it into the top 50 on three separate occasions, only to stop and slide right back out. The last time he made it in for one day before getting knocked off by some speedys behind him.

Actually it's eighth grade, before university.

Heh, it figures they'd add more. (creaky voice) Why back in my day we only had 6 and we made do with just six and we were happy to have 'em lemme tell ya. Anyway, I just wanted to make sure folks understood you were talking about the top level (almost top now lol) instead of still learning the basics.

Aww, that sucks. It's going to suck for me if I don't finish all my TAFE work, but your story was worse as you missed it because of one mistake. I'll try not to do anything silly for a while.

I don't even know why I mentioned that. I haven't even thought of that for years and had a blast every time I went off to County or away for States, so there are no real regrets. At least I was going to university for music. A friend of mine lost two points over the angle of her elbow and bow positioning on the cello, but was perfect in everything else, and didn't make the Orchestral cut ... which cost her Juliard. It took hours to console her down to just sniffles and I had to wring out my shirt and a couple of stuffed animals afterwards.

You might have something similar in Australia and I guess it was more of a caution to you in case you go for it. Essentially you practice for two to three months, starting at the beginning of the school year, then get a one-shot "audition" in front of a panel of judges with whatever piece upon which you've been working. How you did at that audition dictated the highest level to which you would be invited for that year: All-County, Regional All-State, All-State, or Nationals.

If you get to a point where you are serious about getting involved in something like that, obviously it's important that you do your piece well, but it's the little things they'll nail you for about which you need to be particularly careful. As a pianist, you might do something like tap your foot to keep the beat during some difficult scores, cock your foot against the base while waiting for the next pedal, let your wrists angle down, etc. ... each will cost you at least a point.

Dear god, i've missed the temporary return of THE phantom_spanker! Curses! Anyway, not sure if any milestone were hit in my absence, but just in case, congrats!

At least you're still around for the raper. He's even got that extra letter that doesn't do anything at all.

Not taking quotes in your sig anymore? That was a shortlived phase. I noticed I was kicked out pretty soon anyways. If this "put Pure in your username" fad catches on, you won't have enough room to fit everyone in that sig of yours.

C'mon now. Pure_Figment would sound so sexy. Or maybe you'd prefer Pure_Raper?

First LC-Hitman changed it, then lilskater, then -BADLUCK-. The_redangleking was a Pure for about 15 minutes too, but switched back. Glad you enjoyed my advert service too. :)

I have 13,000 blams right now. Finally have it. Getting more and more each day.

Congrats IKRU and anyone else ive missed. Ive just been so busy with my damn holiday that i havent had enough time for getting drunk and NG. Meh, i prolly shouldnt have got drunk, but who can resist the lure of free drink :)

Do you have Mac Os X ? If so, there's a little program that comes with it called "capture". That's what I use. The images are saved in .tiff so I use a freeware I got on download.com to convert them into .jpg.

Congrats to Sentinel and IKRU.

D0GMA, I just noticed that I'm missing my blue 50+/day. Thanks in advance.

The bad thing it doesn't look like I'll get in for a while (good thing is I won't get knocked out). Well at least the holidays are coming up, it should make the now bigger gap of 1000 a lot easier (I miss a lot of movies on Wed and Thur).

Actually it's eighth grade, before university.

Anyway, I just wanted to make sure folks understood you were talking about the top level (almost top now lol) instead of still learning the basics.

Thanks. I just assumed everyone would know it was hard, but that's probably because all I ever hear when I tell people I do sixth grade piano is "Wow, that's a high grade".

Good stuff

Fifth grade was a good example for me of everything they can take marks away for. I was really nervous and I made a lot of little mistakes, etc.
Anyway, for sixth grade, I plan to do well. That's all I'm saying for now, as I'm tired and going to sleep soon.

He goes hot and cold quite often, so it wasn't unexpected that after this most recent time he made it he went cold again. I think the fact that he had made it into the 50 for one day before getting pushed back out again by a couple of speedies climbing over his back helped him go cold though.
