I went to my in-laws house and played board games while dinner was being cooked. Then got in trouble for forgetting my wifes DS....her fault lol. Then I spent of the day trying to fix my mother-in-laws computer because the damn thing is disabling its own network card then forgetting there ever was one!

Dinner made up for it though, delicious and free two of my favorite things.

Smoked Ham is incredible!

On a side note the night before we played a zombie themed DnD game where we were trapped in a building with windows modeled after Call of Duty World at war Zombie Survival mode, every zombie killed was worth 50 points it was 1000 points for mystery boxes and unlocking new areas and 500 points to activate the alter to cure the zombie infection.(If you got bit) Level 5 characters, it was a ton of fun.

Hopefully you can forgive us in a decade or two, after the Dark Age of Beiber is over. To be fair, you guys have given us plenty of horrible pop-stars as well.

Everyone Rush song ever (I wish you could hear my voice because it's all warbly on this)

"I fly with a unicorn over a meadow
We like to eat cupcakes
And explore our sexuality.

Sometimes I slay dragons with my imagination
I shoot beams of love from my eyes.

There is a tiger, he is a hunter
He eats my presents until I shoo him away."

So in other words, you've never listened to Rush. It's OK. I understand that some people on this board would prefer listening to emo bands in their bedroom with the lights off and the shades drawn so that no one can see them. By the way, where do you want me to send the cases of tissues and razor blades that I bought for you.

: Re: Happy Thanksgiving!

That wikileaks thing has a US diplomat reporting to our government about Anti-US sentiment in their media and how we need to...

We need to do everything we can to make it more difficult for Canadians to fall into the trap of seeing all U.S. policies as the result of nefarious faceless U.S. bureaucrats anxious to squeeze their northern neighbor. While there are those who may rate the need for USG public-diplomacy programs as less vital in Canada than in other nations because our societies are so much alike, we clearly have real challenges here that simply must be adequately addressed.

...although I'm kind of tickled at the concept of an American diplomat suggesting that we combat Canadian television imagery of the US being sneaky and bossy in a private, classified memo to the US government.

"WHAT?!?!? Canadians are increasingly showing television programs that depict Americans as nefarious, sneaky, and underhanded. I suggest our government gets involved in this RIGHT away."

Wow. Nice work with the standard stereotype of what emo is. Tell me, what is 2003 like? I miss it so much.
: Re: Happy Thanksgiving!
: rayner23 December 02, 2010, 09:40:55 AM
From the Rush song "The Necromancer"

"Brooding in the tower
Watching o'er his land
Holding ev'ry creature
Helplessly they stand
Gaze into his prisms
Knowing they are near
Lead them to the dungeons
Spectres numb with fear
They bow defeated"

From Dreamline

"He's got a road map of Jupiter
A radar fix on the stars
All along the highway
She's got a liquid-crystal compass
A picture book of the rivers
Under the Sahara

They travel in the time of the prophets
On a desert highway straight to the heart of the sun
Like lovers and heroes, and the restless part of everyone
We're only at home when we're on the run
On the run

"Time is a gypsy caravan
Steals away in the night
To leave you stranded in Dreamland
Distance is a long-range filter
Memory a flickering light
Left behind in the heartland"

From Nocturne

"Did I have a dream?
Or did the dream have me?

Set off on a night-sea journey
Without memory or desire
Drifting through lost latitudes
With no compass and no chart

Flying through hallucination
Distant voices, signal fires
Lighting up my unconscious
And the secret places of the heart

Dream - temporary madness
Dream - a voice in the wilderness
Dream - unconscious revelations
The morning says, the answer is yes"

From Ghost Rider

"Pack up all those phantoms
Shoulder that invisible load
Keep on riding North and West
Haunting that wilderness road
Like a ghost rider"


The list goes on. I know that I might have been off in my lyrics but really, I wasn't THAT far off. When I worked at a comic book store, I worked with a guy that would only listen to Rush and Olivia Newton John and therefore, I will hate Rush with every molecule of who I am.

To conclude, "What about the voice of Geddy Lee? How did it get so high? I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy."

Wow. Nice work with the standard stereotype of what emo is. Tell me, what is 2003 like? I miss it so much.

Let's see in 2003, I had already worked at an architectural firm while still in high school, had a chapbook of poetry out, was publishing consistently in ezines, had had dinner with Mark Jarman, and went drinking with Zach Galifianakis. 2003 was awesome! In fact, I actually had time to do things that I wanted to do. Stupid PhD program...rabble rabble rabble

Also, in the future, I will only scale my references back five years when making fun of you. I was under the assumption that Springfield was still 10 years behind the rest of the world. Apparently that push to become a Google city accelerated some things.

Not in 2003, but by 2003. Although 2003 was the drinking with Zach, which was great fun. Too bad we couldn't convince Mitch Hedberg to tag along.

: Robot Master December 02, 2010, 08:45:47 PM
hahaha okay I mentioned this in the "Drunk Thread" but I'll repeat here. I don't grade women in scales of 1-10 because that doesn't take into account the level of "hotness" in a certain area.

For example: A Mumbai 2 is nowhere near as attractive as a South Dakota 2.

The above picture I gave a "New Jersey 4" because from what I understand Snookie is considered to be "hot" in parts of New Jersey. So my brain-maths basically thinks that if Snookie is a New Jersey 6, then you're going into the 4's around nose ridges. I mean, she has NOSE RIDGES but aside from that she has pleasant cheekbones, right?
