They've got a lot of snappy lyrics and good songs. I just thought their time was passed.

[Welu]

I remember hating Fallout Boy when they came out because I associated them with My Chemical Romance, Good Charlotte and whatever else was popular with my classmates. Emo scene was huge in my school as a poser Goth it sucked so hard.
Ugh, my past self needs a hard punch in the face. Not just because of music, just in general.

[BeoPuppy]

I'm actually unsure which of the two bands you mean.

[jwhouk]

FOB.

[Pilchard123]

Ugh, my past self needs a hard punch in the face.

I think every(about their own past self) at times.

Also the quote button no longer works when I use it.

[Thrillho]

Mine too!

[bainidhe_dub]

Pilcard123, you've dropped part of the coding.
you have: author=Welu link=topic=27988.msg1158487#msg=1368880415
you need: author=Welu link=topic=27988.msg1158487#msg1158487 date=1368880415

[Pilchard123]

I thought something like that had happened. It's just what comes from the quote button.

[Zingoleb]

my past self was wrong about music (i.e. that classic rock is the only good music) but overall i don't think i've done deserves a hard punch in the face

if anything my past self really could have used like, someone on their side to tell them things aren't always going to be terrible

actually i could use that right now.

[Welu]

I'm on your side, Unicorn. I don't know if things will get better (my own week has sucked too hard to be optimistic right now, I'm sorry) but I certainly hope they do for you.

Actually my past self wouldn't benefit from a hard punch because they'd have just used it as more ammo for, "The human race sucks so why should I show anyone the tiniest bit of respect?" They also wouldn't listen to anyone telling them things would get better or they were there for them. Some cheerier music might have been good.

[Valdís]

Yeah, +1 to Unicorn. Don't see hurting past-me ever solving much for her. A long, long hug and encouragement sounds better.

Besides, I've hit myself in the face and gotten nosebleeds etc. from it before. Hardly an opinion-changer.

[Welu]

Well doing it myself wouldn't be much good. I'm thinking something like this:

[ackblom12]

oh Phantasmagoria 2, such a wonderfully cheesy game.

[Welu]

I've only seen Spoony's Let's Play of it which I recently rewatched.

[ackblom12]

I mean, it's not like the bar was set particuarly high for FMV adventure games, but both Phantasmagorias hit that terrible b-movie spot almost perfectly. I'm also not entirely sure it was on purpose.

[Valdís]

Well doing it myself wouldn't be much good.

See, that'd likely be because you're restraining your hits on instinct. If you're having trouble pushing past that then fast repeated hits in the same spot usually does the trick.

I'm thinking something like this:

Looks about right. But less "manifesting phantasm" and more "mirror". Even managed to get a nice 'Freak' in there.

[Welu]

I mean, it's not like the bar was set particuarly high for FMV adventure games, but both Phantasmagorias hit that terrible b-movie spot almost perfectly. I'm also not entirely sure it was on purpose.

I don't think it was on purpose either. I haven't played or seen the first one but from what I've heard it sounds like something I'd find entertaining.

Well doing it myself wouldn't be much good.

For some reason that reminds me of when I learned to self-harm using just a towel.

[Thrillho]

I've only seen Spoony's Let's Play of it which I recently rewatched.

The best thing Spoony's ever done, by far. I still quote bits of that all the time.

Also, and I'm dead serious about this, Trevor in Phantasmagoria 2 was one of the best portrayals of a gay dude I've seen in any medium.

[Welu]

I concur so hard with both statements.

[Thrillho]

I HEARD THAT CURTIS

[Patrick]

the lineup for riot Fest was announced today

HOLY FUCKING GHOST, THE DISMEMBERMENT PLAN

[Masterpiece]

I love the expression "catch my drift?" because I always imagine I'm asking people to smell my farts.

[LeeC]

An old waldorfian friend of mine snapped this picture last night and decided it was best not to close his garage door.

(click to show/hide)

Glad I havnt lived there in 5 years

[Loki]

Well, there goes my sleep tonight.

[Zingoleb]

i'm pretty sure that's a funnel weaver. from the wiki page:

T. domestica is not an aggressive species and will retreat when threatened by larger creatures (e.g. humans). As long as its web is undisturbed, the spider will retreat to the funnel tip and stop responding to any movement whatsoever. If the web is attacked and partially destroyed, the spider will attempt to flee the area or may huddle its body into a ball against the wall or some other nearby object. To usher the spider into a cup for relocation, hold the cup in front of the spider and use something to gently nudge the spider from behind. A spider's first reflex after being touched from behind is to walk or run forward. The spider will walk right into the cup that is placed in front of it.
Tegenaria species rarely bite. If they do, the bite is painless.

[Loki]

I am not afraid of spider bites per se. I just find how those things skitter around on their long legs uncanny.

[TinPenguin]

Hey, a homo sapiens' legs make up half its body. Freaky, huh?

[Pilchard123]

Nekowafer's name could also be read as Catbiscuit.

[Loki]

Confession: I thought "wafer" was the noun to the verb "to waver", ie "to falter". A wafer would be someone who falters.

[TinPenguin]

In contrast, the 8th century duke called Waifer of Aquitaine was someone who refused to waiver.

[LeeC]

ive been reading it as neko (cat which I just googled yesterday) and waffles.  damn you brain! nekowaffles 

In contrast, the 8th century duke called Waifer of Aquitaine was someone who refused to waiver.

waifer into waifu, something else the internet taught me a week or so ago...the horror 

[nekowafer]

Nekowafer's name could also be read as Catbiscuit.

I'M SO OKAY WITH THIS



Also it's actually a play on necco wafers, those awful chalky candy things.

[Asterus]

I'M SO OKAY WITH THIS

CAN'T... STOP... WATCHING...

[Loki]

I happened to stumble upon rawstory.com again and am once again disgusted by their misleading titles to generate traffic.

Article title: "CNN’s Wolf Blitzer tells atheist tornado survivor: ‘You gotta thank the Lord’"

The article in question (with video)

With the number of atheists continuing to rise, CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on Tuesday afternoon learned the danger of assuming on live television that his interviewee is a Christian.

“I guess, you gotta thank the Lord, right?” he told the survivor of a deadly tornado that ripped through Oklahoma. “Do you thank the Lord?”

“I — I’m actually an atheist,” the woman politely responded.

“Oh, you are? Alright,” Blitzer replied.

The woman, however, handled the embarrassing situation with grace.

“We are here, and I don’t blame anybody for thanking the Lord,” she told Blitzer.

What they absolutely omit from the text is the reporter and and the woman laughing about the situation together, making it obvious none of them had ill feelings towards the other. Instead, they make it sound like the reporter was a douchebag for assuming in the first place and the woman was some kind of fucking hero, standing up gracefully to the evil oppressor and what have you.

[Masterpiece]

<-------------------------- the number of the beast

[ChaoSera]

True. But now you can't post anymore.

[pwhodges]

There's a couple more in the same theme.

[Carl-E]

I always liked 668, the neighbor of the beast. 

[Zingoleb]

my house number is 2110 and when i moved here i told the person driving me here that we're neighbours with rush and he believed me and got all excited but i told him that what i had told him was A Lie and he calmed his neckbeard down and then got sad

[Pilchard123]

I've just been informed that if you say Miles Prower - Tails' (of Sonic the Hedgehod fame) 'real' name - fast it sounds like "Miles p'r Hour".

[Jace]

Re riot fest: holy shit mephiskapheles! Also I wonder what woman ben weasel is gonna punch this year

[jwhouk]

What is the poblem with people dropping letters radomly in forum posts as of late?

[Loki]

Well payed.

[Pilchard123]

You know, you shoud keep going back to that post and removing a letter or two.

[Patrick]

we'd notice the "last edited" subscript.

I love songs with beats that throw you off at first and then they start to make more sense as context comes in. Such as "Them" by Little Green Cars.

[Zingoleb]

sometimes when i'm skyping with someone i'll edit a kitty face into my last post

and then quickly edit it out again

so it's just a kitty face blink

also i do the catttttttt easter egg trick afterwards because kitty

[nekowafer]

I approve.

[nekowafer]

Is it weird that once I decide someone is attractive, I want to smell them?

[Zingoleb]

smell this

[nekowafer]

Yes ma'am!
