Speaking of Monopoly........

It's fun to play now, and when someone runs out of money, you give them money and call it "Government bailout."

Anyways....

Chrome works fine on NG for me Fli, don't know why t wouldn't.

Remember that Dutch person I was talking to? I said I was 17/f/Holland and he said alles goed? vaarwanden? I said afscheid (I had to look that up on google because I don't understand their language).

I wish I spoke to a German because at least I could respond to him/her.

I would SO buy this Choose-Your-Own-Adventure if it was ever printed.

Oh, but Dutch is easy.

I loved those in elementary school. They were like video games before video games.

And the rest of the players are pissed off because they're paying the high players.

My favorite was "The Trumpet of Terror," where you got to interact with the Norse Pantheon. That, and "Who killed Harlow Thromby," a murder mystery.

Somebody at Errowid or Lycaeum should SO make a choose-your-own adventure centered around drugs. I'd love to see a page about having a bad acid trip...

The walls are melting, your goldfish wants to discuss the finer points of macrame, and you notice that the couch is plotting your demise... this can't be good. What do you?

- Shoot the couch
- Cower in Fear underneath the bed
- Run to the kitchen

*select third option*

UH OH! Carpet in the living room, linolium in the kitchen... you're standing on the precipice of a 1,000 foot drop to a certain death, and the couch is now revving up a chainsaw... what do you do?

- Jump
- Reason with the couch
- curl up in the fetal position and cry until the trip is over

OKAY OKAY... I've never done acid and I stole that bit from Ralphie May, happy?

Wow, that smells like such desperation right there. Recruiting people loitering in a B and N parking lot? Yeesh.

The funny thing was, I took a sociology class the next year, and the professor said that you're more likely to get struck by lightning than be in a terrorist attack. He asked how many of us have been struck by lightning. Three hands, mine included, went up. He decided he'd better use a new question from now on. XD Those two students were in ROTC and couldn't get off the climbing wall in time when a storm came in.

Apparently lighting strikes are a bit more common than people seem to think. I've been out on a lake a few times with my dad fishing when some nasty storms have rolled through. Nothing is more frightening than driving a motor boat to the closest cove while lighting is literally hitting the water. Not close enough to hit you or hurt you...but goddamn.

Why? Did you give them reason to go up to him and be like "he wants to be a marine now" or "he totally told us off"...I think there's a bit of a friendly rivalry between military branches and I'm sure anything short of a fist fight would only earn you a pat on the back from your recruiter. Although I warned you about recruiters before, it seems that the guy you spoke to has some common sense to not walk up to kids in a parking lot and discuss joining up as if it were a shady drug deal.

I recall when I first moved out of my parent's house and started community college, I was woken one morning by my cell phone ringing and found a marine recruiter on the other end. I went lipid on the poor girl who really was just doing her job, asking where she got my personal cell number and going on about how she had the balls to call me and ask me to join up. Turns out there's a federal law requiring all universities that accept federal funds (see: all) to submit the contact information of all students to the military recruiters when asked. I spent a good hour screaming at a poor guy at the school who was basically forced by the law to hand over my information.

Either way, after changing my phone number to my dad's house and telling the recruiter I was a pacifist, I haven't heard back from any others.

It's odd though because I had a friend who joined the National Guard last summer and I even spoke to his recruiter and I was sure the guy would show up at my house one day (the friend was living with us at the time if I recall..or had our address since he didn't have a new one set up yet) and even put me down as a personal reference.

I loved them to pieces too...
I had one that made me so upset that I still think about it... I spent a good amount of time with my book, and then my protagonist gets spliced in half in an alien space ship... forever to be only an upper torso while being chased down by aliens.

Yes,
those books did tripped balls...

I remember there was one star trek themed one. Turns out I wasen't supposed to jab at the entity with a sharp tool. Who knew?

I'm pretty sure I have seen a movie just called blind samuri but I'll grant it wasn't the one you're refrencing.

I'd wear a shirt that said "enormous penis"

I ran across one of those books once... the ending that disgusted me was where you and Spock accidentally pull the leaver on a time machine taking you back in time like 4 seconds, where you and Spock pull the leaver again and you're just stuck there for all eternity in an infinite loop.

Okay, I just want to make a couple of general statements to everybody.

1) I'm not a psychopath. I am not prone to psychotic fits of rage, and I will not track you down and kill you over anything you say online. I'm actually a fairly nice and normal guy in real life. If you want to talk to me in person, send me your phone number and I'll call (or leave a funny message on your answering machine), I have no issue with human interaction.

2) I am a regular user now, not a forum mod, and as such I am not above questioning. If you feel I have done something wrong and you want to call me out about it, do so. I can't ban you, I won't snap and fly off the handle as I used to do once upon a time, and I'll probably take it as a compliment that somebody gives a damn enough to say something.

I see you all online, and I notice how none of you are willing to post here if I'm online, and it's just starting to bother me is all. So if I've done something to offend or piss you off, or just make you go "dude, wtf?!" I want to hear about it.

And from this shared experience we can draw a window to both our personalities. I can be reactive, at times angrily. You love levers..............

I want to buy a few of those books--especially the space alien ship one.

Staff was right...
that was the video game of our time.

Okay, I'm just going to take everyone's silence on the issue as to say "no, you didn't do anything wrong, we're just tired from our everyday lives."

And that's okay. Because whenever life gets me down, I take a look at my enormous penis and my troubles start melting away. Or if I'm bored, I'll just go look at some internet porn.

You're talking about this a lot lately. It's troubling.

Well, I'm kind of sitting here wondering what's going on when I post and everything stops. It's like I've got the interweb equivalent of B.O..

It's not funny!
