You know what to do.
Warning: The following is a rant and grammer has little to no place here.
GODAMNITT I am so fucking pissed off right now, I spent the better part of my lunch break waiting in line to put air in my god damn fucking piece of shit tire because it was almost flat, I put air in the fucker and go into carls jr to eat my lunch, to come out to....a motherfucking FLAT TIRE!!!! So I call work and tell them I am gonna be late because I need to put on my spare. I open my trunk toss some stuff into the back seat so I can get to the spare, lift the cardboard cover and snap, the cardboard cover under the trunk lining breaks into two huge chunks.
Whatever its fine its not that important and way I think as I pull out the rest of donut and the jack ect ect.
Woo fucking hoo it takes 10 minutes to jack the damn car up because whoever made my jack is a fucking imbecile. Now I have my tire ready, and the god damn bolts are air ratcheted to the car. SO I spent for fucking ever trying to pry the damn things off, to no avail. I drive on my flat across the parking lot fill the shit with air again and drive back to work, low and behold i get into the parking lot and its flat AGAIN.(As I knew it would be.)
FUCK TODAY
Woo hoo I feel a smidgen better.

Post 1000...
At first I thought to do something significant, but then I figured the mere fact that it was my 1000th post would make it significant to me, which in turn meant I should be lazy and make a completely pointless post so I would be able to fully capitalize on its built in significance...
After these thoughts went through my mind, I realized how thoroughly stupid the whole thought process was but decided to screw it and go for it anyway...
Barring nothing better to say, happy Monday everyone...

Right now I'm busy writing a crappy lyric essay.
It's sort of kind of about WHAT THE FUCK IS A RPG?
I've gotten past the uhh, intro, dice rolling, character generation. I taking a break before I begin with explaining how to play. I'm beginning to hate it right now. I feel like I'm dissecting a Unicorn and finding it less magical. It's much easier experienced than explained. I've attempted to capture the feeling with uhh language.
tldr

the magic is simple: no one knows how the story turns out before it happens.
The GM sets the stages and controls the antagonists but he can't know how the players will react exactly nor will he know how the dice will roll.
The player knows what his character will do in any circumstance but he doesn't know what the GM has plotted, what the other players will do or what the dice will roll.
Sometimes it's for the worst. But when you roll a critical hit just when you needed it or saved the princess or solved the puzzle, it's authentic. You didn't know this would happen but it did. You create as you experience the game.

I'm going to quote you on that. I'll put you in the coherent section of the piece.
And yes, I agree.
You'll probably get some italic text and a bordered text box for your quote. The end product is going to be layed out like a typical intro to an RPG book.
Edit: I actually just screen capped the post and cropped it. :D

My problem with it is that it demands for me to feel sorry for a spoiled rich kid who doesn't know how to act in "middle class" America. And how shocking it will be when his father officially goes bankrupt (probably around episode 4 or 5 given the foreshadowing in the pilot).
-
Is that what it's about, misplaced rich kid? I honestly couldn't tell. I saw an ad for it that juxtiposed it with Family Guy and The Simpsons where it looked horribly out of place. My first thought was that the show had escaped from Adult Swim or Comedy Central.

Yeah, which makes me more upset that it replaced Bob's Burgers, which was probably one of the best breakdowns of class politics in America I've seen for a long time (and had some of the best developed characters for a Fox cartoon series). These reason are probably why it didn't last.

Given that I am responsible for the thread's current name, I'm well aware of that fact. :)
I forget the other names this thread went by. It started as Angry Rant thread, but then Ross' and I had a battle of wills and admin privileges.
-
Yeah I remember being fairly annoyed the day I made this thread(you know due to the whole flat tire fiasco). I didn't see any of Ross' names for the thead by the time I logged back in I was like:
...?
Hmmm
Ok cool.
-
I was systematically changing the thread name every time Ross did. I'm pretty sure one of his was "Crazy Thread About Trains."
-
In the end turning my random angry ramblings into the thread for randomness that doesn't 100% fit into any one catergory worked out.
So for that I applaud you.

So I'm running for editor-in-chief at my university's newspaper; we're well-renowned for being one of the best student newspapers in the country (despite being at a pretty crappy (and controversial!) school), and have won 15 awards this year alone. Today's the last part of selection, and the board will vote after they interview me and two others; I'm ridiculously nervous.

So I'm off on one of those rants that started this thread in the first place. I'm not in a particularly bad mood though so it won't be nearly as bile filled as the first one.
Language usage I hate:
When someone calls soda, "pop" I have a visible physical reaction of fury.
I hate it when people say they are on line at the bank. YOU ARE IN IT NOT ON IT.
I also hate that people seem to think they can apply the suffix bi to something and all of a sudden it changes the meaning from twice or both to every other.
Biweekly means twice a week
Bimonthly is twice a month.
It's not hard a Bicycle has two tire.
Oh and I hate how the motherland likes to call Aluminum, Aluminium. They are just adding random letters for no reason at all.
-
Biweekly pay periods are every two weeks. For some reason semi-monthly means twice per month.
-
'Part-quarterly' is monthly. A 'fiscal year' for my agency only contains two months of the year in question (January and February) and starts the preceding year.
Also a bicycle has two 'tires'. 8)
-
You'd think there'd be an s there but my keyboard apparently disagreed.
I'm not saying that those terms arent used for "every other" just that it's wrong....
Or rather should be considered wrong. Apparently it goes either way though.
Also a cooler way to you get paid every two weeks is to say fortnightly.
-
I also hate that people seem to think they can apply the suffix bi to something and all of a sudden it changes the meaning from twice or both to every other.
I hate when people say "suffix" when they mean "prefix."
:P
-
Oh and I hate how the motherland likes to call Aluminum, Aluminium. They are just adding random letters for no reason at all.
Actually, the history of the whole aluminum/aluminium split is kind of fascinating. Both versions make sense in their own way and, in the end, neither really has primacy (though, from a strictly chronological perspective, aluminium ekes out a win by appearing first in 1811 as opposed to aluminum in 1812, so far as I've found).
Both suffixes, -um and -ium, are used to denote metallic elements. The -um being part of older known elements, dating back to Latin words like ferrum (though it has occasionally been applied to more modern element names, such as platinum). Starting around 1807, however, the naming convention shifted to -ium and has been the standard ever since (titanium, uranium, and of course... palladium). Aluminium/aluminum just happened to come along right when that nomenclature was shifting.
Aluminium is the official standard of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, though they're not especially strict about it. Whereas the American Chemical Society recognizes aluminum as the standard spelling.
So, yeah... words be crazy.

:P
I'm not the English teacher here!
So yeah totally meant prefix....
Also regarding the whole naming convention of Aluminum I was under the impression that the scientist that "discovered" it called it Aluminum originally, as such that name should be given precedence. Although I don't remember where I saw this I just recall it arbitrarily since it helps support my point.
Also, I enjoy Eddie Izzard and David Mitchells takes on the subject,

The movie was significantly better than the books. Katnissssssssssss really got ridiculous and the third is going to be hard to put on screen. Not Dune hard, but hard.
Also, it isn't a love story so much as a "well we all hate each other but someone has to end up together and we drew the short straws" story.
