Same here, but I have come back from a club/bar/pub after a night of fun and go on my computer just because I don't want to go to bed.

As for me, people say that I just become funny as hell when I drink, so THAT is a good thing... better than becoming one of those sad/pathetic drunks or those violent/dumbass drunks. For me, it's like a wit-enhancer liquid!

It's true in general with me and alcohol. Some people act radically different. I'm pretty much the same. hum.

Yeah, I am still very reasonable and aware... and thank god for that... last thing I would want to have happen is me waking up next to some chick with a wedding ring on and a tattoo on my chest.

Maybe you're just sick of the job though. I mean, no offense meant, but you never struck me before you're modding as a guy who'd really want to sit around banning idiots all day. Most of us can avoid the stupid on this site, but the nature of your job says you can't. Maybe you just need to take a temporary break from modding, and then see how you feel.

March 18th was the 42nd day before the theatrical release of the new Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy movie. So they launched a new site, and unveiled a new trailer. (clicky) The more I see, the more I want to see... It looks like this could be a masterpiece, a wonderful transition to film... or it could be an overblown hollywood production... I'm still betting it will be awesome.

There is a new Duce Bigalow coming out, Duce Bigalo, European Gigalo.

The movie I'd like to see sometime soon; Sin City. Not familiar with the comic, but the commercial peaked my interests.

God I wish I had a digital camera with me at the moment... my sister gave me these mardi gras beeds today that are Black with smaller silver beads, and skulls. It's got a medallion at the bottom that says "HOUSE OF SHOCK." So friggn' cool...

Would the rum not compound the problem, Wraith? I had thought alcohol only increased the chances of such occurances. Unless you hadn't been drinking beforehand, but I really should have ignored this topic in the first place. Alas.

Venom, did you email me for some reason? I thought you had said earlier that you wanted a reply. I never got an email from you.

Well, Spring Break is almost over everyone. Just a day and a little bit more of tonight, and then it's over. For most of us, this means 4th quarter, so everyone's gonna be hauling ass to make the grade this year. I had fun this spring break, moreso than any other. I chilled with my friends, hooked up with an older chick (who's going back to Meridian, and won't be back 'till April. This also might count as one of my first serious relationships, even if it was a whirlwind weekend romance), sat out in front of the mall and played guitar for two hours and made almost $14, nearly went to a rave (turns out we could have gone, but, oh well), nearly got X, went to a crawfish boil a few hours ago, and just had a generally all-around good time (which means something, because I was technically grounded all this time). I also popped, drank, smoked and toked so much this spring break that I burned myself out pretty well, so I'm probably regulating my drug use to strictly recreational (weekends, vacations, and special events and all that) instead of habitual like it has been.

I I told you all not to worry about my shit so much, it was more of a phase than anything. Don't get me wrong, I'm still gonna be a little new-age hippie/leather-jacket wearing/cigarette and weed smoking/drinking/badass (and occasionally dumbass) juvenile delinquent, but I can save that persona for the times it's warranted. (Like picking up chicks. Some girls dig the leather jacket =) )

So, how did yours go?

Hell yeah, made by Tarentino!!! (told you I'd be back when I had been drinkin!!)

If you're bookstore chain is anything like my local chain (Waldenbooks) you'll find they begin to stock a certain amount of such material when the movie hits. I've never read the comics myself, but there is a collection of "That Yellow Bastard" available at my local store. But my car broke (which puts me into deeper debt with my parents), I have to buy a new pair of shoes (and basically have to do so on the cheap because my car broke after I'd earmarked certain amounts of my check money to other things), and I've commited myself to getting together all the 40's era adventures of the Justice Society of America (so that's 10 volumes left, since I pulled the 9th in today, at 50 bucks a shot...a comics habit is a terrible beast).

Anyway, always check your local book chains when comic movies hit, they almost always have material available, if they don't, ask to have it ordered, the publisher more then likely have a printing of it done so stores can have it in backstock.

Hmmm... Not familiar with the book, could you tell me what is it about, briefly? I know, I could google for it, but I want OMG TEH TheShrike's input.

I know I'm no Shrike...but IMO, Douglas Adams is the best satirical author since...well...singe Douglas Adams.

OMG U R TEH SUK!

Uh... anyways. Thanks for your two cents, but I'd like to know what the book is about.

Also, I've got more cat pics for you to enjoy, because I'm an unoriginal asshole. Maybe I'll get banned for this one, maybe I won't. Oh, I'm so rebellious, I rock. I wear Che Guevara shirts I bought on E-Bay for a hundred bucks. I protest against capitalism while eating a Big Mac and oppressing little Cambodian children. I pretend to be proletariate, but I lift my pinky finger when I'm drinking my five o'clock tea.

Oh, what the crap, here's the cat picsh00re. OMG TEH GH3Y FIML!!!!11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111! eleven!

From h2g2:
"The Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy - not an Earth book, never published on Earth, and until the terrible occoured, never seen or ever heard of by any Earthman.
Nevertheless, a wholy remarkable book.
In fact it was probably the most remarkable book ever to come out of the great publishing corporations of Ursa Minor - of which no Earthman had ever heard either.
Not only is it a wholly remarkable book, it is also a highly successful one - more popular than the Celestial Home Care Omnibus, better selling that Fifty-three More things to do in Zero Gravity, and more contraversial than Oolon Colluphid's trilogy of philosophical block-busters Where God Went Wrong, Some More Of God's Greatest Mistakes and Who is this Go Person Anyway?
In many of the more relaxed civilizations on the Outer eastern Rim of the Galaxy, the Hitch Hiker's Guide has already supplanted the great wisdom, for though it has many ommisions and contains much that is apocryphal, or at least wildy inaccurate, it scores over the older, more pedestrian work in two important respects.
First, it is slightly cheaper; and secondly it has the words DON'T PANIC inscribed in large friendly letters on its cover."

H2G2 (HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy) is a series of books. It's a trilogy consisting of 6 books. These books are about the answer to the great question of life, the universe, and everything (the answer is 42).

Just as Damien said, the author of the books, Douglas Adams, is probably one of the greatest english authors of modern times. His books are very funny. Very, Very Funny. With Capital Letters Funny.

The books are sci-fi comedy. Think Monty Python meets every cliché in science fiction ever imagined. On the other hand, that description is utterly inaccurate. They're just funny. Funny is their genre.

The first book begins with the destruction of Earth, and hilarity ensues.

That google search is hilarious. :D

Unfortunately, I still haven't gotten around to reading any of them. Parents have one I've seen on the bookcases. But.. just never..... Really want to. Will one day. Promise.

Empanado, when you get banned here, you know where to post, eh boy?! Good Chilean!

It should be noted that the "quoted text" in my previous post is not the exact text you'd find in the book, but it's the best a quick search could produce. Rest assured that any grammar errors were not in the original text.

H2G2 references pop up everywhere. Google has them, AltaVista's babelfishis one big H2G2 reference, and that's only the beginning.

I'd really suggest reading the first book, 'cause I'm sure this is just way too much seemingly random info to digest all at once.

Oooh, sounds nice. Too bad that it's highly improbable that I can actually find the book anywhere within 1,500 miles. I'll search for it, though.

Also, today I got me Rammstein's Lichtspielhaus. Gah, why the hell are their videos so weird? They have S&M Snow Whites spanking communist workers- like dwarves, ants playing soccer, the guitar player wearing a dress and turning into six white dogs with lame computer effects, some Vin Diesel movie crap, the lead singer prancing around like a big fat baby, and the keyboard player with some really weird bird mask. Also, some stripper gets shocked and magically turns into a guy with a wig. I don't get it.

>=[ You could read the first book in a day or two. It's short. Just give it a whiz. Don't watch the movie before you read the book. PLEASE READ IT. Do it for the children.

You'd be surprised.

No, really.

You could probably buy it online from any of a billion sites.

Shwure I dwo! I'll post in the Endless forums.

And you'd be even more surprised of how much of a lazy bunch of commercial whores are the bookstore owners of this god forsaken land. Hell, most bookstores here are just 1,500 units of the DaVinci Code, plus some XIX Spanish books. Think lame x infinite + 1. Well, it's a lot more than that.

No, really.

I'm not much of an Internet shopper, but I'll try that if everything else fails.

I just resent it a couple of days ago. Ted@newgrounds.com, right? Or should I send it to your hotmail?

Has Shrike told us which poster his brother is? I think I know, but I wouldn't want to ruin it. Then again, I'm probably completely wrong.

Uberbarista.

Mystery solved.

HOLY SHIT! I was right.

Somehow I doubt it was a guess, but I'll bite. Why did you think that?

Because homosexuality runs in the family? (kidding, kidding)

Hmm.. we need more sexism...
how about;
The long awaited sequal;
Debby does the dishes!

I've gotten myself into a tricky situation. One of my friends posts on some other politics board. I've been screwing around with him secretly, strongly disagreeing with him just to piss him off and secretly chuckling to myself when he starts bitching about "me" during work. The problem is that I was feeling really uncreative and I used Dr_Arbitrary as my login for the other site too... and he caught me on Newgrounds so he wants to start posting here... anyone have any good suggestions so that I can continue to screw with him without tipping him off on my identity?... I think I might have to ressurect one of my old alt accounts if I can remember the password.
