Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

I really don't know what's more pathetic.

I don't know if the rest of you guys use Omegle, it's basically an anonymous chat site, which means it's basically filled with horny, lonely guys who believe there women out there that would be desperate enough to cyber with. On the other hand, it's great for venting and trolling.

So I'm messing with people by quoting Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" which EVERYONE should know the lyrics to, if not, learn them. So I'm messing with people by doing this "Don't Forget the Lyrics" fake game show. The sad thing is most of them don't get it. I'm not talking about the international people on the site, I'm talking about the 20 something year olds who DON'T EVEN KNOW THE FIRST VERSE. That's sad.

What's also pathetic is when they don't get it, THEY DON'T QUIT THE CONVERSATION. Omegle has this feature where at any point you can pull out, which is great for (enter reason here.) Now, these guys DON'T HANG IT UP. They still believe they can get a cyber out of this.

I really don't know what's more pathetic.

So I just finished watching Muppets Christmas Carol in the middle of July as a means of procrastination for cleaning my house.

On the plus side, I'm going to have a house warming party in a few weeks = D

I'd invite you all but the internet leaves stains on the carpet that you jsut can't get out...

but I <3 you all the same.

Fuck this recession. I have been sending CV's to various shops in hope of getting a reply but I doubt theyll hire anyone because most businesses are shedding jobs. I need a job for university later this year to pay for transport and books.

So the recession has hit these boards apparently, there are only two pages.

Did I miss something?

That's them! Those are the peanuts seasoned with scrapings of ash from the walls of hell itself!!

I took that can with me to work, and dared people to take a whiff and try one. Laughs were had by all.

I have not been online all day, I forgot to close firefox before going to work.

I must try these peanuts. it is the new emasure of my manhood.

I bought mine at Wal-Mart, top shelf over where they keep all the nuts and snack foods. It's pretty firery tasting, but it gets milder as you make your way through the can.

Supposedly the other two "milder" cans are supposed to be seasoned with either garlic or a type of "Jamaican" spice. I'm curious about that, and deciding wether or not to try it.

Half Blood Prince = definite must see movie.

Least favorite of my books, but my most absolute favorite movie adaption of all the films. Such a beautiful film, although all of them are beautiful.

And Hermione has learned to stop emoting with her eyebrows! I swear, that used to pissed me off half the time in the other movies.

"Harry" *one eyebrow up, the other down*
"WATCH OUT!!!" *Both eyebrows up, both come down.

No wonder the LA Galaxy thought Beckham's wages were money well spent...

They're here. 5,000 people awaited their arrival at Buenos Aires' airport (ie, Ezeiza). They're coming back to La Plata, taking the highway, with all the fans. Verón (the bald guy holding the cup) had a cigar, so kewl, and every player had a Tshirt saying "The Pincha rules". They're coming in a roof-less bus, and they're passing two blocks away from my house.
The city already awaits them, all major avenues have been cut, thousands are in the central plaza and in 7 and 50, (downtown). The mayor will greet them, everyone is excused from going to work.

Issues

1. Seven, I may be more Canadain French than Cajun French but I accept your peanut challenge. I would have looked to see if they were sold here but I absolutly refuse to type "hott nuts" into a search engiene.

2. Football. I've said this before and I beleive it remains true. America ignores the game because we're bad at it. It's not any more complex than that. Draw the commentary for yourself.

3. The sun keeps teaseing us. It will prove it's existance and then leave just as we're warmed. Does it want a sacrifice?

Have either of you considered that it could be a regional brand that your local wal-marts carry primarily because they are local?

I'm in Tennessee, Seven is in central Lousiana, and Original Jaun (the company that makes the nuts) is based out of Kansas, where you can always buy them online at a ridiculous markup over what you would pay at the store... I think I gave like $2 and some change for mine. It couldn't hurt to just look the next time you're out.

....

Prepare to laugh.

Der lowe,
Help me on my Spansh grammar. Background on the info... but if you don't want to read, please go to the bolded text.

My Spanish teach says something I believe is inherently wrong.. that prepositions can come before a verb. That was like, for me, a "OMG...U srs?" moment.

Then she cited this example,

"...despues de dormirme." (she points out how 'de' follows dormirme.) And I can agree that "de" is a preposition in many cases, but it is not in her example.

But it was an open and shut case for her. Students laugh at me, and I can't lose face because people think I really know my grammar and they like my tips. I taught them how to identify a preposition the spanish way... the SPANISHFLI way, I mean.

Basically, I see a preposition as a sandwich. First will be either a verb or a noun, then a preposition, then ALWAYS followed a noun.

For example,
"Consititoion of the United States" = noun/preposition/noun.
"going to the store" = verb/preposition/noun.

Then I up the ante and said that's not a good example because it's not a complete sentence but a dependent clause that has to be coordinated with the main clause because it's a subordinate conjunction.

And then made it into a complete sentence.

"Despues de dormirme, yo me despierto."
Which, in English should be this: After sleeping (myself), I wake (myself.)
Which means that the independent clause is "I wake (myself)."

And if that is so, then that makes "Despues de dormirme" the objective clause of the subject-verb-object agreement.

And I say this because I said that the Spanish reflexive verbs like "dormirme" or "me duermo" are INFINITIVES (as in "to sleep"), and if they are infinitives... then they are WEAK NOUNS.

Which makes my preposition sandwich method of identifying prepositions a viable teaching tool for grammar teachers... ONLY if I can prove her wrong.

Case in point:
"I like to swim"
I = Subject
Like = Verb
To Swim = Object (because infinitives, even though they have verbs in them, work as nouns.)

And if the Spanish reflexive verbs are infact infinitives, then I'm right. Otherwise, she would be agreeing that we have Subject/Verb/Verb sentence structures... which NO LANGUAGE HAS.

The question:
Are the Spanish Reflexive verbs infinitives?
(if anyone who has a lick of Spanish grammar knowledge, help out.)

I got serious face to save, and my teacher looks really pissed at me. But half the students say I know more about the stuff than the teacher... and all I need is somebody to confirm me.

so, i grammer nazi enuf for everyone????

Sorry for frying brains out there...

Do you just take some kind of sick and demented joy in pissing off people who hold your very academic career in the palm of their hands?

Soccer is ignored because we have too many other sports to follow.

We got American Football, baseball, and basketball.

Only Canadians follow hockey, golf is for rich guys, NASCAR isn't a sport, and soccer's too foreign.

Thus, no one follows "futbool".

I think it's the other way round, you like it and you start devoting yourself to the sport. You're getting better at it, I believe, because of the increasingly high hispanic influence there. You ended up being sub champion of the confederations cup by losing only to Brazil.

3. The sun keeps teaseing us. It will prove it's existance and then leave just as we're warmed. Does it want a sacrifice?

Worked for the Mayas, look how hot and sunny it always is in Mexico.

We follow basketball (defeated the US in the Olympics), tennis (have had a tennis player in the top 10 for quite a long time), and volleyball, where we're not that good, unfourtunately. Then we've got polo, but that's only followed by the oligarchy and my brother. And we've got our NASCAR too.

I've been to the caravan, it was insane. They took 7 hours to go from the airport to Plaza Moreno, sth that takes 1 hour to do normally.
That's Plaza Moreno, geographical center of the city, where the Cathedral, (that can be seen) and the city hall is (where everyone's looking at, because they players were gonna be on a balcony). That's 70,000 people.

Oh, and for 7, FIREWORKS YAY
(that's the city hall, that could not be seen in the other pic because it had been taken from it).

Verón is the bald dude with the handbag, if anybody wants to know.

Let's hope it gets nominated for the Oscars.

They were defending themselves from a free kick but it looked gay, so they photoshopped it for awesomeness.

Hell, my middle school Modified Soccer team had a more manly looking Wall than that during free kicks.

She started it... some guy asked how I always got the answers right, I told him my method and she overheard me. Okay... I still have problems in writing Spanish, but I can definitely pick the right answer in a group.

And who cares, this was a throw away class for me until some sort of job calls me. I was just bored and said to myself, "Why not re-learn the entire Spanish language in 6 weeks?"

well, she said today that whatever I did, at least it's working...

But I wasn't conjugating...
Because, if it was true what she said, and if a preposition can follow a verb... then it means that sentence can follow a subject-verb-verb structure. And that's not true because we follow the SVO. (Spanish or English.)

I mean, we can speak bad English and Spanish... but our minds still work in the SVO structure. Like, "You ain't smart, Fli." A bad sentence... but at least a SVO.

I know that it has to be some sort of weak noun to make it fit in the basic Subject-Verb-Noun agreement.

No, estudiantes. Although he has been "summoned" for the national team recently.

Batistuta? that pic is REALLY old.
He's into polo now.
