We had snow yesterday, and will probably have snow halfway through April too.
Suck it up, Princess.  :lol: :-P
I don't think he was really complaining.

It's so irritating when people get arrogant about weather. Seriously. So it's hotter in some places, colder in others. Just because you live there doesn't mean everyone should automatically know what it's like living with that weather.

Anyhow:

That's the funniest image I've seen in a while, haha!

It drives me nuts when my BF pronounces STAMINA as STANIMA.
I've.. been guilty of that one before.

Speaking of completely butchering pronunciations of words, when I was about 13 or so, I added the word "epitome" to my vocabulary. To my embarrassment, I had been pronouncing it as "e-pit-tome," and I had been using it for weeks until a teacher gently corrected me. :(

say goodbye to evil alf you lot just bore the shit out of me.
 im going to another site where you can have a laugh
 bye

Oh, I'm sorry. Apparently referring to yourself in third person- as "evil", no less- and rambling on about software requests is being funny. Glad I got the memo, good sir.

I have been told I need to watch it, but I am frightened.
Do it. It's gross, but really. I would think less of a regular interneter (it's a word!) who has never seen it before.

After reading this thread, I feel almost as confused as I did after first watching 2girls1cup.

You sound like a nice enough guy, but you should probably read the rules. Unless I'm completely mistaken, advertising sites is a large no-no around here.

Regardless, welcome.

I think I just died from the sheer awesomeness of this.

And some pictures for those too lazy to look themselves:





About to order it. Well, as soon as I can figure out where I would put them.

A fan of cheese, eh? Cool enough for me! Welcome.

That's about the most amazing political picture I've seen on the internet.

Babbo! You're gonna bring down the whole racket with your squealing!

I forgot to mention, 'Cano, you're going to need some basic equipment - the starter crew member needs a short trenchcoat, preferably in taupe with the camel hair lining for warmth in alleyways, and some tea shades. We used to use aviators, but the damned kids are repossessing that style. They'll never take back tea shades, though!
No.

Hey, this guy has the potential to be a big earner - I'm sure he would make the vig no problem.

New guy, you definitely want in on this racket -  lotta juice to be made. But, like I said, you gotta start out with the buttlegging. And I need the smokes, stat. You'll get 2 large for your troubles, half the divvy in coolio points, the other half laundered through Ping's as a nice vintage Gant shirt. Hey, I'll even through in a bottle of Eagle Rare, fahgeddaboutit.
Not gonna lie, I have no idea what you just said. But it sounded cool.

That certainly brought on a new line of thought about the name you chose for the forum.

 :-D
/frown
And to think I thought looking at a random inanimate object and choosing it for a name was clever!

Never read it, but I have family that owns a herd.

We like to mess around while we're visiting on vacation. If you put a rod a few inches above the ground, blocking the path out of the paddock into the pasture, and let one sheep jump over it, then remove the rod, the rest of the sheep will still jump in the same spot, without even knowing why. When you turn them back into the paddock at night, they still jump over that same damn spot, regardless of whether or not anything is there. They'll continue to jump over air for several weeks, until one them doesn't (I don't know if one is smart enough to finally realize it's not there anymore, or if he just forgets to jump), then they all stop.
 
If I could give you one of those coolio points for this paragraph, I would. I always wish I knew people like you in-person.

Shit. I just opened this up to all manner of jokes.
Hey, I wasn't going to say anything. Some people have odd sorts of fetishes. ;)

Sheep may be more intelligent that you give them credit for...
And besides, the way some people are, they make you want to go find a petting zoo, the conversation there might be brighter.

Did you ever read Far From the Madding Crowd? I read when I was about 14, and I remember having a giggling fit when Gabriel's flock of sheep all jumped off the cliff. I remember thinking, "Oh, they're just like people. One jumps off and the others follow suit without realizing it."

No no no - I didn't mean anything in such a way as to evoke any sort of apology or explanation. I was just pointing out what may have had people thinking you were a guy. I thought your intro was just fine.
"Admitting to it is one thing; stating it in a public intro is another."
 :roll:

Haha, kidding. I know, that's that the edited disclaimer was for.

120
Wow.

I'm not even that bad.

I concur. Not to say that I'm not friends with some very interesting rocks, (and pointing out that, that particular simile might be insulting to rocks considering some people), but I certainly prefer the conversation when the person I'm with isn't completely... numb. Then there are the incredibly 'normal' people who just scare the shit out of me. I can't help but ask, "Weren't you paying attention?"

I don't think it's shallow or foolish to want intelligence in your friends, but I should point out. If it's a condition as well as a desire, you might end up with few friends.

Personally, the desire to learn in a person, the only condition I put down. They don't have to be intelligent, but they do have to be willing to open their minds up. Needless, to say, my circle of friends tends to be very small. But I just can't stand the large hoards of brainwashed flesh lumps walking around out there.

... yes, I know that sounded very elitist. I don't care. Just as long as you can come with something more elborate than... "You're mean, you big meanie!"
If you're an elitist than I am too, but I agreed with everything you just said. While you don't have to be well educated or intellectually driven, all I ask is that you use your brain. If I wanted to talk with sheep, I would find a petting zoo.

121
This has nothing to do with anything being discussed, but I'm interested in your responses. I was just having a conversation with a friend of mine, and we got onto the subject of qualities we find desirable in friends. When I mentioned intelligence as one of the higher-ranking qualities, he halted, and told me I was shallow and foolish, that intelligence is fleeting and means nothing in friendship. I reasoned that while what sort of person he/she is is equally as important, without intelligence and some sort of depth, I find it difficult to befriend someone. I don't watch many movies/much television, the music I listen to isn't well liked, the way my mind works is far from common, and my interests are nearly as nerdy as you get. I wouldn't say that someone had to be a nerdy for me to befriend (I'm not a nerd-elitist!) but if there is no depth, then what is there to discuss? How can I be friends with someone as interesting as a rock?

Insight? Opinions? Back massages?

... no clue

uniquer.... uniquer... put an emphasis on the "u" instead of the "niq" and it's sounds like a gas station. U'-ni-quer.
I'm gonna be saying that all night.
Exactly how I was reading it, except "quer" was pronounced "ker." Sort of like unicorn.

Admitting to it is one thing; stating it in a public intro is another.



**edit-   not a bad thing; just...  a bit different then admitting it after you've met. A "good" different. I mean..    :|  shit.  Imma STFU; Im starting to sound like a idiot. Again.
I apologize. When I stated those things they were said in an offhand manner meant to show I didn't take myself seriously. I don't mind admitting I watch porn, but I don't watch it often, and especially not on a daily basis. It was my attempt to bring the funny, as you call it.

And the "new guy is new" thing was because I wanted to use an overused internet meme as my introduction title. I didn't feel like putting the word "girl" in there, as it would seem like an overly desperate attempt for attention.

i am completely computer-ignorant.  seriously.
Glad I'm not the only one. I always feel like my lack of computer knowledge is some sort of geek deficiency, and wait for people to yell "fraud" in my general direction. :(
