16,000 big ones.

With that vote, you now have 16,000 experience points. You need 30 more to get to Level 39. The next Grounds Gold day begins in 22 hours, 35 minutes, and 49 seconds.

Heh.

No, I wasn't "taking offense," I was making an inside joke to Bahamut about how BAHAMUT used to say the same thing (over and over again) that you did once. That those twin sai are "swords," when of course they're not swords, they're Japanese martial arts knives.

But anyway, for you to take the joke as about you, rather than as about me and Coop ragging on Bahamut... is quite funny.

Not really, I've always viewed the Canadiens as that franchise. They're just in the Yanks' 1970-1990s slump now :P

Okay, well... the Red Wings are up there, though, with the "most spoiled fans" franchises in the NHL.

Pulling for the Pens now?

Nah, I don't really care who wins, because any of the other 29 teams winning is a loss of the Avs :(

Yeah, but they've already lost. It's over. So which is the better of two evils?

I'd assume young phenom Sidney Crosby winning is better for the NHL as a whole, so I were you, I'd be rooting for his team, the Pens.

It's pretty funny, though... there was an ownership group here in Houston that wanted to buy the Pens and bring 'em here to Houston. But now there's no way in hell that'll happen with the rebirth of that team thanks to Crosby. #;-}>

Sharks wear teal, which I believe is a derivative of Green.

But anyway, you and izzy's Pistons have got a lot of people now thinking it could be a Lakers/Pistons finals rematch instead of the long-anticipated Lakers/Celtics..... WE SHALL SEE. Don't count out the Spurs... is one lesson I've learned from the last decade.

I'm very excited to see how the Pistons will do against the Celtics. Boston is a slight dissapointment so far in the playoffs. Dominating the Season, but going all the way of 7 games in both the first and the second round of the playoffs.
Also, the Pistons have done quite well against the Celtics during the season, IIRC.

Congrats on the Pistons winning a game in Boston. They're the first team to beat Boston at home in the playoffs so far this season, and if these playoffs so far are any indicator... looks like Boston might be fucked now. Your Pistons just laid the SMACK DOWN, boyeee!

Also, those double-spaces on your posts look terrible. Thank fuck it was only a small mistake by yourself. I was scared that liljim added some double-space feature on the BBS, which makes every big post ugly.

It wasn't a "mistake by myself," it was the message text getting fucked up by NG.

Didn't you read what happened?

The shit was fine in notepad, I pasted it into the message text window, I tried to post, it wouldn't let me due to less than 1 minute having passed since my last post... when I finally did post, everything was fuxxed.

This never happened before a few weeks ago, so I can only assume one of those downtimes in the past few weeks is responsible. I hope whatever the cause is, they fix it. I've already seen it happening in other people's posts, such as iscrulz and I think either you or someone else in here, while I was catching up.

Look around, you'll see quotes where the last little bit of a quote is chopped off and by itself. It's really fucked up, and it's not the fault of the person posting it, it's the fucking posting mechanism of teh NG BBS laying a huge messy crap all over itself.

So much for that. A MOD HEARD MY PRAYER AND DIDST DELETETH IT! And it wasn't absent, either. (gasp)

You're so delusional. Don't you know that once Jack Thompson gets all the violent games banned, then he'll come after FF games for having "magic" in them and teaching kids to be witches and warlocks?

If he does that, THEN I'll cut the bullshit and kick him up the arse.

Yes, well... he would be after FF next, but fortunately for all of us FF fans, yourself and myself included, he won't ever succeed in getting the violent games banned, so... rest easy.

But stop acting like a fanboy of his, the people who support him are the same people who want to outlaw FF and Harry Potter and LOTR for teaching kids that "magic" isn't "evil."

So this'll be kinda like seeing if the Patriots can win after Bellicheck leaves, eh?

(I was gonna say Yankees after Joe Torre, but of course... that's kinda silly, since they won plenty, at least before 1980, without him managing).

To be honest, I'm not that much of a fan of Crosby. I think Ovechkin is better and for that matter, so is Malkin.

Maybe so, but he's the one being marketed out of his ass to us Americans as the saviour of all hockeydom... so we'll see how it goes.

I think the start of the high levels is from 25 onwards. I could say 16 - 24 are mid-high levels, however, and then 40 - 60 are higher levels.

With that vote, you now have 18,000 experience points. You need 660 more to get to Level 42. The next Grounds Gold day begins in 12 hours, 35 minutes, and 15 seconds.

Meh

Dare I ask why butchers speak backwards slang? O_o

Heh. "desu" is like "is" in Japanese... never noticed it was used backwards. TILL NOW.

See, we're useful for helping you notice stuff.

Also, it helps for 'ornithology':

"Gib tsaerbs on the d-nolb namow."

"Say, that's a doog namow!"

To be honest, I'm not that much of a fan of Crosby. I think Ovechkin is better and for that matter, so is Malkin.

Maybe so, but he's the one being marketed out of his ass to us Americans as the saviour of all hockeydom... so we'll see how it goes.

I've seen that on NASN, so I'm not free from it either.

I'm Level 22.

7000 saves. It's a pity I can't blam as fast as I save. I still probably won't be at 3000 blams by the time at 8000 saves. Anyway, 2 achievements in 1 day. :)

heh, I know what you're saying, blam points just aren't as easy to come by these days. There's kind of a big gap in my b/p points as far as when I got them. About 3/4 are from 04-05 and the rest are from just the last couple months. My ammount of saves is going to tie, then surpass my once much higher blam total in not too much time at all...

Oh, and I forgot to post before that I now have an 8.00 total voting power. :)

Major aldlv

it just sounds awesome... =D

Corporal!

I've just reached level 13 today!

Coop basks in the glory of his new bike, while congratulating:

KIRBYLINK: Corporal

Seriously, is that all I've got for the list this morning?

Oh well - some Coop related news then.

I went into Halfords (Car parts & Bike shop) on Thursday to purchase a brand new bike, which was on offer from £300.00 down to £149.99. There was one on display as I walked into the shop and another as I walked into the bike section. I asked the lad behind the counter if I could have one of them. He said he would go and check that they had some in stock.

When he returned, he said that they hadn't got any left. When would they be getting more? I enquired, to be told that they wouldn't be getting any at all, as the model was being discontinued. Can they sell me one of the display models? No, they have to be sent back to Head Office, was his astonishing reply. He took my phone number and said that he would call me back on Friday to advise if any stores in the area had one and that he could get it delivered to me.

I went home and decided to look online, for a bike like this is too good an opportunity to pass on. I found the bike and all of the stuff that I was after and proceeded to the checkout. Would I like to pay for home delivery (+£20.00) or collect it from a local store? I decided to see which local stores had the bike in question. My local store which I was in not half an hour ago apparently had the stock, so I ordered collection from there, website told me "please leave 1 hour for our staff to prepare your order, before attempting collection." That meant collection on Friday, which wasn't so bad.

Then the same guy who had served me at Halfords phoned, only to give me a rant, advising me of how not to use the internet, because its stock levels were wrong and how 'not to go behind my back'. As you can understand, this really raised my hackles. It got worse when I didn't receive a call all day from them, letting me know if they had or indeed had not got the bike.

Saturday morning and I ordered the bike again online (Through my mother, because we're being devious now) and we went to the store to collect. I went to the car parts and looked around, while my mum went up to collect. She nodded to me that the bike was there and they were fetching it out, so up I went to grab the rest of the stuff, which I calmly collected and brought to the desk as well, but we were acting as separate customers.

"Is that the Shockwave XT920?" I calmly asked, pointing to the bike in a box, which clearly said "Shockwave XT920" all over it. Got any more left? Then the guy looked up and recognised his worst nightmare - me, without my merchandise, despite the fact that his colleague was willing to sell it to someone else.

"That's the last one, I'm afraid." He didn't try to defend, which is always a bad policy in front of a pissed off Coop. "Then you must have forgotten to call me to say if you'd got one in stock yesterday, considering that you said that you would phone the local stores and try to find one for me." His colleague was a little short on cards in the deck, so he waded in as well "It was Neil's day off, so he couldn't have. It was my responsibility to, so I'm sorry that I didn't, sir." At least I was getting respect, so they were admitting guilt.

"Funny, considering that the exact words from Neil, over here were "I'll phone to local stores tomorrow and I'll let you know before we close the shop if I've managed to find one." Not one mention of a day off and that he'll get a colleague to sort it. Nice try, sunshine. Where's my bike?" Mum was biting her tongue at this point.

The pair floundered helplessly and I was trying my best to stay calm over it all, as I knew the joke. "We can phone all the local stores and let you know if they've got one for you, sir." I told them that since I wasn't convinced that they would call me for starters and that I hadn't made plans, they could do that now, but not to let this detract from serving this lady, who I was sorry to have kept waiting. Mum duly paid and was assisted in loading the bike in a box into the back of the car, while I waitied and granted a steely gaze to Neil, as he phoned as many stores as he could, in a desperate search for the bike. He found one and told me that it wouldn't be in the store until Wednesday. I said "I'll just have the gear for now, placing my basket of helmet, mudguards, gloves etc on the desk, which he served me. He tried to charge me for the bike, which I declined, as I wouldn't be paying for the bike until I had received it at the store.

When I had paid for the goods, I turned to find that Mum had returned for the punchline. "Oh, by the way Gents, I've already got one, so don't worry about the bike. Mum managed to find me one." Neil started to snarl something and I walked back over to him "Pick your words carefully, as I'm going to write this all down and send a letter to head office, Neil." He swallowed his pride and calmly answered "Is there anything else I can help you with, sir?" I turned and waled out, confident that he had been humbled.

Don't get mad, get even.

Nope, I'm afraid you can't talk about that wonderful British food.

Pretty much, yeah.

Coop83 - Faggard can handle a ban. He doesn't post that much anyway. ^^
