Less random than the random thread. More continuity, focus, and attention to spelling, punctuation, and other niceties.

(This topic could last a while. It’s probably good thing that the next chameleon thread is just a few days away.)
I just realized that my post on the random thread was not the first post. And this is not the first post on this thread. GAPAs, feel free to delete both of these posts, as they are extremely pointless. The Popopo is after me!!
*runs*
Ha! PoPoPo protection. (PoPoPo Pro):
In 1844, the Democrats were split,
The 3 nominees for the presidential candidate were,
Martin Van Buren, a former president, and an abolitionist,
James Buchanan, a moderate,
Lewis Cass, a General and expansionist,
From Nashville came a dark horse riding up…
TMBG!!
Hey GAPAs… I think we should add another rule to what a PoPo is. I think that the PoPoPos should be able to fine Bloggers for posting information simply so that their post is not pointless. They will not be fined as much choklit as they would be, however. Wait. Nevermind. Because then PoPoers could just put “OMGTODAYISTHEBDAYOFSOMERANDOMGUYTHATNOONEBUTHISFAMILYANDFRIENDSKNOWABOUTOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG! Does this count as not a PoPo?” and the won’t be fined as much. Which contradicts the rest of the rule.
1 – If my rule gets passed by other PoPoPos, you will be fined a small amount of virtual choklit!
Can we discuss Seinfeld?
Why not?
Fine with me, if enough people have seen Seinfeld and have something to say about him. It. Whichever.
3-Yes! Seinfeld rocks! I’ve got to say, my favorite character is Kramer…but that little racism card that Michael Richards played was disappointing…ah, well. That doesn’t change the character he played!
Never seen Seinfeld. Dunno exactly what it’s about, except that is has something to do with a ruffled shirt.
helloooooooo
What/who is Seinfield?
and what’s a popo??
By Golly. I’m confused.
shanmin, perhaps-I take it you’re a newbie…the PoPoPo is short for the Pointless Post Police. The PoPoPo make sure that no one makes pointless post (such as a couple of yours), and gets away with it. If you must be pointless, either take it to the random thread, or confine it to one post, please. Thank you.
And Seinfeld is only one of the coolest shows ever. Check it.
Kiki the Great-That was only one of the episodes. You should rent one of the seasons, or something. Of course, I’m not sure if your parents would let you watch it…it’s got some kind of mature content.
I have never seen Seinfeld. *runs off to wikipedia*
Here is ze wikipedia summary: “Seinfeld is an Emmy award winning American television sitcom that originally aired on NBC from July 5, 1989, to May 14, 1998. It was one of the most popular television programs of the 1990s, running a total of nine seasons. Many of its catchphrases have entered into the pop culture lexicon.
The series was created by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld, with the latter starring as an eponymous, fictionalized version of himself. Set predominantly in an apartment block on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, the show features a host of Jerry’s friends and acquaintances, including George Louis Costanza (Jason Alexander), Elaine Marie Benes (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) and Cosmo Kramer (Michael Richards).
Seinfeld was produced by Castle Rock Entertainment then helmed by director-actor-producer Rob Reiner, and distributed by Columbia Pictures Television and Columbia TriStar Television (now Sony Pictures Television). Seinfeld was largely co-written by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld, with later input from numerous script writers, including Larry Charles, Gregg Kavet, Andy Robin, David Mandel, Jeff Schaffer, Steve Koren, Jennifer Crittenden, Tom Gammill and Max Pross, Alec Berg and Spike Feresten, most of whom had been nominated for best writing awards such as the Emmy.”
and….
(here is the “overview” of the show):
“While most television sitcoms to date had been mostly family or coworker driven, none of the Seinfeld characters are related by blood or employed by the same organization; in fact, many characters were not employed at all. Like the self-parodying “show within a show” episodes of year four, Seinfeld was perhaps, more than other sitcoms, a “show about nothing.” This is because the episodes’ plots concerned themselves not with huge events or comical situations, but instead focused on the minutiae annoyances and petty discussions of real life, such as waiting in line at the movies, going to eat, buying a suit and so on.
Tom’s Restaurant, a diner at 112th St. and Broadway in Manhattan, referred to as Monk’s Cafe in the show.
In the original concept, the show featured clips of Seinfeld himself delivering a standup routine in a club (in reality, the studio), the theme of which relates to the events depicted in the plot, at the beginning and end of each episode. This device deliberately blurred the distinction between the actor Jerry Seinfeld and the character whom he portrays. After season five, these standup clips became less frequent and were ultimately discontinued after season seven. The show’s main characters were modeled after Seinfeld’s real-life acquaintances. Many of the plot devices too are based on real-life counterparts – such as the Soup Nazi (based on Al Yeganeh), J. Peterman of the J. Peterman catalogue, and New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner.
In virtually every Seinfeld episode, several story threads are presented at the beginning, involving the characters in separate and unrelated situations. Rapid scene shifts between story lines moves the action forward as rapidly as possible. Despite the separate plot strands, the narratives show “consistent efforts to maintain [the] intimacy” between the small cast of characters. (Gantz 2000)
The show kept a strong sense of continuity – characters and plots from past episodes were frequently referenced or expanded upon. Occasionally, storylines would span multiple episodes and even entire seasons. Larry David, the show’s head writer and executive producer for the first seven seasons, was celebrated for keeping a close eye on minor details and making sure the main characters’ lives remained consistent and believable, and would later make use of season-long story arcs in his next series, Curb Your Enthusiasm.
[edit]Major characters
Jerome (Jerry) Seinfeld (played by Jerry Seinfeld) – Jerry is the “passive central player” in the show, a figure who is “able to observe the chaos around him but not always be a part of it.” Plot lines involving Jerry often concern his various relationships — Jerry often finds “stupid reasons to break up” with women, something which according to Elaine occurs “every week.”
George Louis Costanza (played by Jason Alexander) – Once succinctly described by Elaine as a “short, stocky, slow-witted, bald man”, George is a neurotic, self-loathing man, dominated by his parents, Frank and Estelle. He has been best friends with Jerry since their middle school years.
Elaine Marie Benes (played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus) – Elaine is frequently a victim of fate. She may get caught up in the machinations of the other characters, or come into conflict with boyfriends or the arbitrary requirements of her eccentric employers. Many episodes end with Elaine ruining something for someone, in the same way she has of sabotaging her own relationships, such as Jerry’s sitcom or the Soup Nazi’s business.
Cosmo Kramer (played by Michael Richards) – Kramer is the archetypal “wacky neighbor” and friend of main character Jerry Seinfeld. He was once described by Elaine as “a tall, lanky doofus with a birdface and hair like the Bride of Frankenstein.” His trademarks include his humorous upright bouffant hairstyle and vintage wardrobe, the combination of which led to his categorization as a ‘hipster doofus’; his energetic bursts through Jerry’s apartment door; his assortment of comic pratfalls; and his penchant for nonsensical, percussive outbursts of noise to indicate skepticism, agreement, or annoyance.
[edit]Minor characters
There were numerous recurring minor characters in Seinfeld. The most prominent were:
Newman (played by Wayne Knight) — A rotund postal worker who served as an accomplice of Kramer and a nemesis of Jerry, Newman was a neighbor of both and was noted for his excessive eating habits.
Frank Costanza (played by Jerry Stiller) and Estelle Costanza (played by Estelle Harris) — George’s eccentric parents. George credits them with driving him crazy.
Susan Ross (played by Heidi Swedberg) — George’s fiancée. She was previously an NBC executive and she also briefly experimented with lesbianism.
Morty Seinfeld (played by Barney Martin) and Helen Seinfeld (played by Liz Sheridan) — Jerry’s parents. Morty was most famous for stubbornly sticking to his convictions; Helen didn’t understand why anyone wouldn’t like her son Jerry, and perennially believes he is financially strapped. These two characters are thought to be based on Jerry Seinfeld’s parents.
Uncle Leo (played by Len Lesser) — Jerry’s uncle and Helen’s brother. He personified the eccentric old man and frequently belittled Jerry with comparisons to his own purportedly successful son.
David Puddy (played by Patrick Warburton) — Elaine’s on-and-off boyfriend. He was a fine auto mechanic, but was also an airhead with numerous quirks.
J. Peterman (played by John O’Hurley) — Elaine’s eccentric boss. He owned the J. Peterman haberdashery whose catalog Elaine worked on.
George Steinbrenner (voiced by Larry David)— George’s boss and owner of the New York Yankees. Steinbrenner’s face was never shown. He was notable for his arrogance and being out-of-touch with the actual running of a baseball team.
[edit]No hugging, no learning
Seinfeld violated several of the conventions of mainstream television. The show, which correctly or not is often described as “about nothing”,[1] became the first television series widely described as postmodern.[2] Several elements of Seinfeld fit in with a postmodern interpretation.
The characters were: “thirty-something singles … with no roots, vague identities, and conscious indifference to morals.” And the usual convention of isolating the characters from the actors playing them, and separating the characters’ world from that of the actors and audience was broken. For example the story arc in which the characters’ are promoting a television sitcom series named Jerry. Jerry was much like Seinfeld in that Seinfeld played himself, and that the show was “about nothing.” Jerry was launched in the 1993 season four finale, in an episode titled “The Pilot.”
On the set this was expressed as the “no hugging, no learning” rule, which held that the characters should not develop or improve throughout the series. In the final episode Jerry and George are only inches away from hugging when they are told that their show was to be aired once again on NBC but they end up not making any contact.
Gantz maintains that another factor in, or further proof of, spectators’ and characters’ participation in a larger Seinfeld community is the large amount of in-slang, “a lexicon of Seinfeldian code words and recurring phrases that go unnoticed by the infrequent or ‘unknowing’ viewer”. Only the cognoscenti would understand the concepts of “double dipping” or “close-talking”, or appreciate the addition of “not that there’s anything wrong with that” by someone trying to take the edge off a politically incorrect remark. When questioned about whether or not he thought Seinfeld could be considered deconstruction, the philosopher Jacques Derrida[3] rejected the claim that a sitcom could be deconstruction. However, this remark is often taken out of context, as he states he has never seen the Seinfeld show.
[edit]Response
The show premiered as The Seinfeld Chronicles on Thursday, May 31, 1990 on NBC. The show was not an immediate success. After the pilot was shown, on July 5, 1989, a pickup by the NBC network did not seem likely and the show was actually offered to Fox, which declined to pick up the show. However, Rick Ludwin, head of late night and special events for NBC, diverted money from his budget to pay for the filming of the next four episodes.[4]
After nine years on the air and 176 episodes filmed (along with four clip shows), the series finale of Seinfeld aired on May 14, 1998. It was watched by a huge audience, estimated at 76 million viewers. Jerry Seinfeld holds both the record for the “most money refused” according to the Guinness Book of World Records by refusing an offer to continue the show for $5 million per episode, and another record for the Highest Ever Annual Earnings For A TV Actor,[5] while the show itself held the record for the Highest Television Advertising Rates up until 2004, when the final episode of Friends aired.[6]
In 2004 a deal was negotiated to make Seinfeld available on DVD for the first time. Due to legal problems with the cast involving episode commentary and other DVD extras, the release was pushed back. The first three seasons were released November 23, 2004, and Season 4 was released on May 17, 2005. Season 5 and Season 6 were released on November 22, 2005. Season 7 was released in the U.S on November 21, 2006. The release date(s) for the final two seasons are unknown, but a May 2007 release appears to be most likely.[citation needed]
The show topped TV Guide’s list of the top 50 greatest shows of all time[7] in 2002, and was so influential in the ’90s popular culture, it came in first in E!’s 2004 countdown of 101 Reasons the ’90s Ruled. For its impact, the show won countless awards throughout the decade, including winning 10 Emmy Awards and being nominated in every year of its run.
According to Bruce Fretts’ 1993 The “Entertainment Weekly” “Seinfeld” Companion, Seinfeld’s audience was, “TV-literate, demographically desirable urbanites, for the most part – who look forward to each weekly episode in the Life of Jerry with a baby-boomer generation’s self-involved eagerness.””
Note: that was all copied from Wikipedia.
Now I sort of know about it….
I lurve Seinfeld. Did anyone ever see the abortion one? With the pizza?
I have seen every episode of Seinfeld at least six times.
My parents are horrible fans of this show since it came on.
OH THE HUMANITY.
13-My goodness…*takes hat off*…well done.
Wow. That was a really long post. Sorry!
My parents watch Seinfeld, too. Well, sometimes. They usually watch ER or MASH or whatever that weird doctor show thing is called. Actually, even more often than that they watch opera.
If you don’t want to read through all of that, all you need to know is that it’s a show about nothing and if you watch it you’ll understand. -please get the reference oh god why do I know these things-
M*A*S*H is funny. ER is not. The Daily Show an The Colbert Report are the best, though. Seinfeld is pretty awesome, in what I’ve seen of it. I don’t watch that much TV. Internet video sites are invaluable.
Seinfeld is bloody hilarious. I’m watching all the episodes on dailymotion now… Hilarious. The Soup Nazi is brilliant, George is hilarious, Elaine is immensely attractive… My favourite episode is probably the last one, where they get arrested.
The Soup Nazi really existed. When I worked at the New York Academy of Sciences, our office manager used to eat lunch at his place every week.
The Soup Nazi was real??? And was he really forced to shut because someone published his recipes?
I don’t know about that, but I do know that he had a real-world prototype.
O_O was he really good? wah I wanna eat at the soup nazi’s place! What about Babu? The pakistani restaurant owner who got deported?
Btw, Jerry has over 300 pairs of sneakers and wore a different one on every seinfeld episode.
i’ve seen bits and pieces. never seen a whole episode. it’s funny though. XD
you can see loads on dailymotion.com.
I’ve only seen Seinfeld a few times.
21-Really?! Coolness! I wanna eat his soup!!! Maybe…someday…*gets far away look on face*…ahhh, the sweet taste of Soup Nazi soup sliding down my throat…*ahem*…ok, I’m done…just finished poetry homework….
Other TV shows that I watched once that AREN’T Seinfeld but are/ can be funny:
Boston Legal (currently on, third season) Insane lawyers.
The West Wing (seven seasons, just canceled last year) Not always funny, but there are some quotes I use on a weekly basis.
Doctor Who (newest series still on, third season US begins soon, fourth season Britian, old series not bad I’ve heard but haven’t seen) Bananas are a good source of potassium! Captain Jack pwns.
Monty Python’s Flying Circus (on PBS in my area, not sure how many seasons, old, like everyone has the DVDs though) Do you really need to ask?
How many people recognized those?
I don’t know much about Seinfeld. Something about there once was an episode just waiting for a table at a restaraunt, and the phrase soup nazi, and other random trivia, but I’ve never seen it.
In a, well, semi related subject as tv shows are watched things and movies are also watched things, has anyone else here seen the movie MirrorMask? I’ve seen it 31/2 times and it is one of my favorite movies.
2- I don’t think that a comment is pointless if it is entertaining.
I have never seen it. Don’t really have any motivation to right now, either. Sorry people. Soup Nazi? Oookay…
I love Seinfeld.
“But I don’t wanna be a pirate!!”
“And you want to be my latex salesman?”
My favourites are: The Marina Biologist, The Opposite, The Chinese Restaurant (even though Kramer isn’t in it– *sob*), The Junior Mint, The Outing…They are all SO good.
But The Opera freaks the CRAP out of me. I have nightmares about Crazy Joe Davola.
“I am lactose intolerant.”
“Really?”
“I have no patience for lactose and I won’t stand for it.”
Jujyfruits!!
I’m so mad though. We ordered Season Six in September (alliteration!!) and it never came. *sadness* But we do have Seasons One through Five to feast on…over and over and over…
29- Boston Legal is very good, though extremely unrealistic. So is Doctor Who, though I don’t watch that as often. My favorite show is probably House, on fox. I know, I know, it’s mainstream. But with Hugh Laurie (who just one both a golden globe and a sag award for best actor in a drama) playing the main charachter and the amazing scripts, it’s definitely worth it. I think I mentioned that they made an Ig nobel reference on the last episode. I was so proud. Very froody thing to do.
I think seinfeld is ok but the only good episodes are (1) The Puffy Shirt (2) The Soup Nazi (I still think Hitler was in cahoots with aliens, but…)and, (3) High Pressure
And as another note, who DOESN’T like the Soup Nazi “No soup for you!”
GAPA, would you make me a thread? specificaly about the mild winter and global warming (sry all u peeple from NC, CA, & CL!)
35 ~ There is one. However, it has, unfortunately, slipped off the front page.
https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=643
There’s plenty of room, and activity, on the Global Warming thread.
2-I am absolutely quaking with fear
I never, ever, ever watch TV (except when we have to watch a news report or something for schoool), so I am totally lost.
Oh well.
ooh please, o GAPA, would you change the topic of this thread? im tired of hearing about the soup nazi!
We don’t invent topics; we just record new topics as they emerge. Got one?
How about guitars? I’m going to sell my 1987 Washburn Flying V and buy a Zakk Wylde Camo Bullseye Custom Les Paul Epiphone.
42-Nearly every guy I know is absolutely in LOVE with his guitar…of course, that might be because girls tend to flock to guitar-playing guys…lol.
My dad has a guitar. He’s left-handed, so it’s strung backwards. Also, it’s too big for me. But I take it out and mess around sometimes anyway.
I have an electric bass, but I don’t have anything to do with it, so I may sell it.
We were required to take guitar in middle school. For, like, 15 minutes a day. I know how to play ode to joy and frosty the snowman! go me!!
There is a loser in my spanish class who brings his guitar to class. Everytime class ends before the bell he gets his guitar out and sits there playing this one chord…I could strangle him! He thinks he is such a musician, it drives me crazy!
Nobody I know has a guitar. I know lots of pianists, though, and harpists. Lots of really obsessed harpists.
well, i guess the topic now is music?
can i have your 1987 flying V? please? with sugar and tomatoes and dirt and milk and cherries and monkeys and poopoo and leaves and dirt and cheese and the POPOPO and hot pink bunnies on top?
hey GAPA! someone spelled my name wrong on the “Who’s Here” page! get it fixed! or else my pink ninja bunny minions will find out where you live and attack you stealthaly in the nite!
I love my guitars. I have a Squier Strat, which I actually haven’t played in a while. I use it for lead stuff. I need to find some riffs I could play…any suggestions?
My mum has a pre-mid-’60s Gibson. I am in LOVE with that guitar! It is huge, cruel on your fingers and hard to hold, but it is by far my favourite guitar I’ve ever played! She also has a couple of Martins, which are also kinda fun. I started out on the bigger one, with nylon strings. Its funny…I’ve actually been playing for about a year and a half, but about a month ago I began to get REAL blisters on my fingers. That Gibson really breaks in your fingers and cleans up your chords. I was so used to the nylon-stringed Martin and my electric (which are too nice), but this Gibson has skin coming off of my fingertips. Its love.
I really want a Flying V. SO BAD. I’m not kidding.
By the way, “American Pie” is the most fun thing to play on rhthym guitar. If you play it FAST, as fast as you can without screwing it up, you’ll have the most fun in your life.
47. Sweet, I play a “hip-harp”, I mostly use it to play jazz stuff…I used to play a concert one, but got bored and switched a few years back. I’m not great or anything, but I’m passable and really into it!
MN5, are you familiar with Deborah Henson-Conant?
53-i read an article about her somewhere. she sounded kewl.
i want to learn bass guitar. *snibble*
the only stringy thing i play is violin. unless you’re counting piano.
54 ~ I’ll sell you my bass guitar. xD
I play cello and mess with guitar, which is enough stringiness for me.
instruments! im obsessed with my saxophone! i had a student one for about 7 years. my teacher had been hounding my mom to get me a better instrument, i had been hounding my mom to get me a way better instrument. Finally, she’s convinced im for real about playing the saxophone…and my teacher said he would sell me an old (not really that old but…) instrument (a Selmer Paris Model 52 / Super Action 80 Professional Alto Saxophone…not that the absolute top, but not bad for a kid whose parents cant read music!). i forfited all b-day presents and money from eid and a large amount of savings (but it was definetly worth it), my mom payed for the rest.
if you cant tell from this post, my happiness hasnt worn off in the 3 months ive had the instrument.
55-how much? XD
56-i definitely spelled saxophone “saxaphone” until about a month ago. i was asking cheese why she was never online, she wrote her sn down for me again, and i said “oh. wow. i spelled it wrong. i’m smart” it was rather amusing.
My poetry teacher always spells “Accordion” with an a instead of an o (accordian). I keep telling her that’s not how it is spelled, but then she gets mad at me. Grr!
51: Crank out some simple 1-4-5 riffs with power chords, or 1-2-3 major riffs, then play lead over it. And I reccomend you sell the squire and get something bit sweeter (if you’re serious about guitar) like an Ibanez or a Fender. Don’t get a Gibson where you can get an Epiphone; Epiphone have narrowed the art of copying Gibsons to the point where the average Gbiso plays like the average Epihpne. Just the old vintage high quality gbosns have no contenders.
53. Yea, I used her improv book to get started (no teachers where I live…). I like her music, but I like to screw around a bit more with mine. My favorite trick: puting paper on my strings, you play, it buzzes and makes a cool sound, you mute before buzz gets annoying…
Opps, I just posted under nate’s name. To make a long story short, his family came and visited for a long weekend, he must have posted at my house, my computer remebers last person to post, I didn’t check, posted as him…
Basicly 60 was me, not him…
Penty returns. Cello owns your soul.
K-THX-BAI.
62: Guitar owns your cello.
63 ~ Psh. Guitar is so overdone. Cello ftw, kthxbai!
62~ cellos own. my soul has already been corrupted. Orchestra or solo?
anybody who hates cellos is stupid. cellos own
65 ~ Both. Orchestra mainly, though. I’m first chair at school. Not really any competition, though. None of the other cellos have a private teacher as awesome as mine.
66~ my private teacher owns. I was 4th chair in my extremely competetive orchestra (22 people in the section!!!) and then I blew my second audition because I marked one of the parts wrong. As I said, I am in an EXTREMELY competetive orchestra.
I’m under a lot of stress right now because I have a competition in march and I have to play 3 peices and a concerto. and I have to make an audition cd for an orchestra/chamber music camp. I’m playing Bruch, Saint Saens, Bach, and a peice by Bach’s son (Johann CHRISTIAN Bach) and in orchestra I’m doing Debussy, Shubert, and Copland… ooohhh riiiight, I also have my quartet, We’re working on Telemann.
Who’s your favorite composer (for cello stuff, duuuhhh)
I like Shostakovich
67 ~ Hehehe. I’m ninth chair in all-county. -fails- However, I’m the youngest you can possibly be in this orchestra, my audition was right after I came back from a sleepless week in Europe and I didn’t have a rockstop. xD Plus I had the most difficult judge. So it has nothing to do with my teacher. She rocks.
As for composers: I dun have a favorite. Dx Right now I’m playing David Popper’s Gavotte.
67~I’m in the largest youth symphony in the country (I think…)
Gavotte in d right? i worked on that year? waaaiiittt? are you a suzuki kid?
69 ~ Yeah, it’s in D. I’m not a Suzuki kid, but I play music from those books a lot.
63 (FS)- Only if it is played well and by unfairly attractive males. Then it could almost (ALMOST) be called competition.
Right now, I’m playing Tarantella, which is by Squire I think, for a solo and the Vivaldi Double, which is love, and then Saint-Saens and Grieg for orchestra.
nah. guitar just pwns everyone. not that i actually play it, just listen. although i would like to.
OKAY, I’ll give you guys this: The guitar owns when Jimi Hendrix plays it.
I play saxophone. I like jazz A LOT. I’m learning to solo. woo.
73: The guitar owns when I play it! That said, Hendrix didn’t really have that much of a technique. Go look at a video of him playing, and then look at guys like Zakk Wylde, Michael Angelo Batio, John Petrucci, ect…
I think Jimi Hendrix is a little over rated. Sure, he was a great guitarist, but there were and are plenty of other people wth talent. For instance, whoever was the lead guitarist for Dire Straits pwned. Did anyone watch that guitar festival that was on PBS a while ago? It was a good showcase for modern and already established talent. I would have enjoyed it very muchly except that a horrible skunk smell came into our living room about halfway through the show and wouldn’t go away. It was still there the next morning.
wow, i was totally listening to dire straits like two seconds before i read that. huzzah for coincidences.
trumpets pwn y’all.
but OMG! SCHNEIDS IS RETIRING! RETIIIIIIIRING FEWLZ! SCHEIDS! THE LITTLE ELF THAT GOES EH! NOOOOOO!
i seriously think i almost broke my shift key there…
but
i mean take the sadness at lamuth’s leaving (and lamuth was brilliant…that was so sad) and multiply it by like 10 for schneids. Band is going to suck next year. idk who’s replacing him, but it’s going to suck anyway. and it was going to suck anyway, since we’re losing harriman and billy and basically everybody who knows anything and now schneids too.
and i mean, he’s schneids. i went up to monica and told her after band, and she was like “I know! it’s so sad! i miss him already! and i’m not even in band!”
anyway…*snibble*
i did break the shift key. durn. it feels weird using the one on the left…
76: I totally agree, but just expand Hendrix to all guitarists from the sixties to the late 80s. Looking at the technique, Hendrix really isn’t up there. Look at some of the guitarists I mentioned before, you can see videos of them on youtube. Brilliant.
75 & 76:
Jimi Hendrix was self taught. He had his own technique, and his own type of music that he pioneered and that was previously unheard-of. And he was good at it. Most guitarists use many notes in quick succession to express thier feelings into a song. Hendrix did the same thing with fewer notes and just as much feeling.
im changing the subject. got it? good. we are now talking about airsoft. you do know that is right? and that its budding in USA, but flourishing in Asia.
I think we’ll need at least two people to insure that we can have a discussion. Anyone want to second burnzkid’s new topic?
(Wikipedia, of course, has an article about Airsoft:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airsoft .)
Wiki is amazing. Wiki has a freaking article on charlie the unicorn. Josh and i read it in latin today. we were trying to get it to play for carolynn and mellison but the sound wouldn’t work so we just looked at the wiki and sang the candy mountain song.
Ok, seriously, you guys are dorks. PIANO PWNS!!!!!!!!!! ‘Nuff said.
Just kidding. I love you all.
83 I tried taking piano lessons once, but the teacher didn’t even teach me anything, so after a year, I quit. Seriosly, it took me a year to recognize “D” and like, a day in school to learn a whole scale.
but if I was in band I would play the trumpet or clarinet because those are cool too.
In school I play a violin, which is obvios(sp?) if you look at my name. Violins are undoubtedly the best instrment ever,
I’ve got an idea. Lets talk about THAT ——– MARY SUE AND WHY SHE MUST DIE!!!
Music is a lot cooler than airsoft. Dx
I just got back from my tuba lesson.
Yay. It was fun. My teacher called me a showoff because I told her I can play the chromatic scale. xD
She’s cool. I like her.
‘Nuff said.
82- I just looked. Charlie the unicorn’s page is deleted and protected from reoccuring. Who/what is he?
(87) Cool! Tuba is indeed froody.
Bass clarinet really is an excellent instrument to play though. It’s fun because it’s low, which means you get to play really deep notes and feel all the vibrations in your tongue, which sounds strange but is actually quite pleasant. And it’s a woodwind, but a low woodwind, so almost an honorary brass instrument, because you never play the woodwind part, you usually play the tuba part. Plus everyone always forgets you are there so there’s no pressure if you screw up.
I playeth the trumpet. I love playing the trumpet.
The only problem is that I have a solo tomorrow that I have to play…. and I have been so busy I have not been able to practice.
And then next week jazz band rules my life. Crazy Valentine’s Fest…….
(all week we have performances……. grrrrargh, and the vocalists who all tried out sounded ……bad, to say the least. Heck, I could even sing better than them!
Which is saying something.
89 ~ My friend plays the bass clarinet and she’s moved from over by the bari sax to the rhythm section in jazz band so I get to hear it. I love the sound!
doesn’t anyone like airsoft? here, ill just shoot myself in the wrist to prove my love for it OWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!! YOU SOB!!!!!!! IM GONNA $%%#%^&@$%&*#$&* YOU UP SO BAD YOU WONT NOW #@$! FROM *^&@$!!
(In reference to TLO’s mention of a “Crazy Valentine’s Fest”…) Oo! Will we have a Valentine’s Day thread? So that all the MBers can either brag about how many valentines they got OR complain about how many they didn’t get?
92-Hahaha…nice. I don’t mind airsoft…I’m actually going to participate in an airsoft battle next Saturday.
where? like what state? or country? or continent? if its close i mite come if possible
Lol…MI…if you can come, sure, but…wait…how old are you?
im 12, but sory, i live in [Sorry, BK — geographic information like that is not allowed. –Robert]
Ok, well, it’s gonna be pretty much teenagers…what state? That’s allowed, just nothing more.
Airsoft? It conjures an image in my head of Mr. Stay Puft.
Airsoft makes me think of first aerogel, then foam darts. No idea why.
LET’S KILLING!!11
I hate Arisoft. Sry. Too many kids I know who use it claim they use it to shoot bunnies at such. Yes I’m using their mistakes to blame you. Also, I don’t see the point in it, since it apparently does really hurt…
“You’re going to shoot your eye out.”
I have never heard of airsoft…hence, never done it.
It doesn’t sound like something I would do, being a pacifist and all…
Is airsoft the game where a bunch of kids run around like morons shooting plastic pellets at each other?
99-Hm…
100-Actually, you’re not that far off.
101-Oh, I don’t like those kinds of people! But, really, if you’re wearing a sweatshirt, or something, it won’t hurt you unless you’re being shot with one of those crazy-fast guns, and even on bare skin, it’ll leave a welt, maybe puncture your skin, but nothing more.
102-I’ve never played it, either…this is my first time. But we’ll be wearing helmets, and stuff, and running around in 22-degree weather through the woods on my friend’s property, so at least I’ll get some exercise. We’re not out to really hurt each other, necessarily.
103-Yeah, that’d be it.
We’re actually going to have teams, bases, and strategies…it’s not completely pointless…ok, so it is, but oh, well…it’s also pretty fun, from what I hear….
yep, and go on Hobbytron.com theys got plenty of guns!
This is scaring me.
Alert me when the topic has changed to something other than guns!
Oh, and if you’re looking for a topic to change to, I’ll suggest “cold-temperatures.” How cold it gets in your city/town/state/country/universe, and how your city/town/state/universe reacts to it.
Topic: Who should be President: Obama or Hillary (or other canidates)???
93- lol, for Valentine’s day I’m going to be at All-State… as will my crush.. (we’re from different schools, but he does want to have dinner, so I’m not sure what that means)…
(106) In California, we’re wimps. -cries when it goes below 60-
108 ~ Sounds good, anyway. ^^
(106)When I went to Teton Science School in January the highest it got was about 10 degrees F. I Life in Wyoming, so everyone there was kind of immune to the cold.
we’re still way above 0… (celsius, btw) in january we had periods where the average temperature was 20
This past week, my city had record-cold temperatures (for the city). We missed 2 days of school because the school buses’ gas gells when the temperature is too cold. Also, they don’t want people getting frostbitten. It got down to -5 degrees F (I think that’s about -20 degrees C), and the windchill was down to -20 degrees F (about -29 degrees C).
Our city usually is well prepared for the cold, but we have been having really strange winters lately. A few months ago, it was 70 degrees!
This has been the coldest winter we’ve had for a while – I think it actually got below 32ºF/0ºC once and it’s been in the upper 30s more than it usually is..
listen, the topic hasn’t been changed yet, so unless your talking bout airsoft be quiet until it changes!! if its not under the topic, then it should be classified as POPO and therefor, not be posted
bet of course…
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My town in NY is finally going to get measureable snow for the first time this year on tues/wed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! anyway, i just shot the hell out of my brothers with my airsoft gun.
P.S. Shadowkat,you DO NOT want to be shot point blank in the leg! it HURTS!!!!! even with a low power gun. oh, and if ur lookin for a cheep spring pistol, shorty.com has 1 for $12 including shipping and handling, but of course, airsoft can’t be shipped into, out of, or in, NY
108-Well, it sounds promising.
we have pretty cold now… *checks Dashboard for temp* 16 degrees, which is actually pretty warm comparatively…. but thats without windchill
we would have had a “cold day” from skool if they hadn’t been so focused on not having any days off. we get out extra early this year- the last week in May- and they want to keep it that way because they need teh whole summer for construction.
Our winter had snow. Lots&lots o’ snow.
115-Because you’re the only one who can change the topic of this thread?
I like snow. We’re supposed to get some more this week. below freezing all week too, so it’ll stick.
We had ice. Lots and lots of ice.
Have a pile in my back yard thats taller than me, and its been melting for ’bout a week now.
Hey man, pelting your friends in the dark with little plastic pellets is fun, don’t you be dissn’ airsoft
Speaking of geographical information….
37°14’24.87″ N 155°49’06.85″ W
Censor that! (But at least look it up before you do)
Heheh wrong cords… oh well
its been prett wierd here in IN. Two weeks ago, it was like 10 C (about 50F) and then the temp suddenly dropped to like -20 (about -2F) and we didnt have school for afew days…needless to say, i was pretty happy!
116-Thanks, but I’m gonna use my pistol…my daddy bought it for me…hehehee….
Psh…I went to a Daddy-Daughter Dance last night, all dressed up in my purty gown…but it was freakin’ COLD!!!!!!!! And I swear it got warmer after the sun went down…weird.
I would like to point out how much worse a gas pistol hurts than a battery operated airsoft gun….
As for how horrible they are, mine cant even pop a balloon
I meekley request for a firefly fans thread!
You Cant Stop the Signal!
Come one, come all, to the brandly-new established firefly thread! Yar! (And thank you to the moderator who created it)
let me tell you, the UTG accushot sniper has 370 fps and really ReAlLy REALLY hurts!
burnzkid-You really like airsoft, don’t you?
– : shock : What on earth is this thread about?
I mean
Yay! Is this a random thread? Yay! How about LEGO Star Wars? Has anybody seen the new Star Wars LEGO classsic? Especialy AT-STâ„¢Item #: 7657 or TIE Interceptorâ„¢Item #: 6206 or
X-wing Fighterâ„¢Item #: 6212? They’re excelent in comparision
to the original sets. Or has anybody seen the more recent Folkmanis puppet? I hope this isn’t zapped by the PoPoPo.
Has anyone used lego robots? Is anyone a member of an FLL team?
As you can see, Garshin wanna-wanna a thread on LEGO. Please, GAPAs? : cry :
By and by, I’ll stop posting now.
its me again
g2g!
Legos. Hmmm. My friend has almost every single Harry Potter set. Lots of fun to build and play with. I think we might have had a Lego robot when I was, like, seven or eight. It probably belonged to my little bro.
NO SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
135- Yes, no school. Not too much snow for me, just lots of hail. Legos I find sort of boring but the robots are cool.
I have a total of four enourmous lego sets. The 787 Dreamliner, Sopwith Camel biplane (now discontinued, HA!), hogwarts castle, and the old basketball stadium. I love legos. Unfortunately, all of my sets are built now.
hello again it is stoopid cupid !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
happi valeniynes!
at my school people bought val-o-grams for other people and almost everybody got one!
except me.
139 – You’re not the only one. When my school does that, some people get fifteen and I get none, one, or two. Oh well, I should be glad because most of the guys at my school in my grade are jerks anyways.
Wow….
Our grade everyone in our grade freaked out and ran around and tried to find out who their secret admirer was….
Except me
:-O Wah! Everybody is being so synical about LEGO. I lurve LEGO! I have over thirty sets. Has anybody seen the rather new NXT?

Legos win at life. I played with legos today actually. Danny had a random bag of them sitting out. So i made a little ship/car/tower/thing. Wheee…
YAY i am not alone
ps kiara my buddy rachel got 15!
i think it is just best to buy people some
(and sometimes buy yourself a secret admirer one *giggle* didnt do that this year!)
Yes,145, my LEGO is very ill-sorted. My LEGO geek code is

oh, if we were talking about skool valentines… and if we weren’t, I DON’T CARE because i have to say this somewhere…
at our skool, during lunch, you pay fifty cents for a piece of paper on which you write someone’s name and homeroom, and then today they hand out heart suckers to the people. obviously popular people get tons, but for some reason this really weird guy in my homeroom got like ten from a bunch of eighth graders who were making fun of him. and i got some for my friends and such, and they got some for me, but then in homeroom this morning i got another one, the paper said “from your secret admirer (plus something underneath in parantheses that i couldn’t read but it looked like “lighy” or something like that)”
and at first i thought it was this one guy because the double O’s in my teachers homeroom were made into a weird face like he does, but then several people said it wasn’t him
and also it cant be anyone i know very well because they spelled my last name wrong
and they had really messy handwriting that i couldnt recognise
and there’s only one guy i would want it to be, but its not him because i know his handwriting
so anyway…
i don’t know much about legos, i had some once and they were fun but we don’t use them anymore. i went to the Lego Store in the mall of america once and it was cool, they had this giant sculpture made of legos that looked like a gigantic kid with a working clock made from legos in his stomach… it was cool. he was perfect, right down to the shoelaces.
I don’t have any LEGOs. Well, I might have one set from my brother’s LEGO birthday, but that’s about it. As you may have been able to determine, my brother adores LEGOs.
i am on the computer at school yahoo!
I LOVE LEGOS!
Even when I was about 2 years old I made really cool lego patterns, but now I can make a lot cooler stuff and I really like the Knight’s Kingdom legos because there is a character in the story named Jayko which sounds a little bit like Jacob, which is my name.
I like building things and last year I had a LEGO birthday party and we got a ton of legos that came in the mail that someone gave to us so now I have a lot of legos which are really fun to play with!
Please, would everybody stop the ‘hee-hee-hee, I got so many roses, etc.”, I’m getting enogh of that at school at the moment.

Spider Plant, leave out the spaces between the colons and the word.
Behold, I pray to the GAPAs! “Please, o benevolent GAPAs, how do I make smilies work? I’ve read HG2MB all over three times, and tried everything I could think of but it never works. Help, o GAPAs, heed my call in this hour of need!”
./\
(.|.)
/…\
(Praying hands)
Yes! At last!
God, Spider Plant. Just read the last paragraph, it would’ve told you everything – A couple of helpful hints: (1) To write the commands between the colons, leave out the spaces between the words and the colons. We’ve just put them in here to keep the words from turning into faces. (2) Some of the “picture” smileys don’t work at the beginning of a line, so type a space before you write them. They also don’t work if they’re the first characters in a post, so you can start with a “throwaway line” with a hyphen or slash or something on it. Just another of WordPress’s many quirks
Oops.

I like Legos.
Not nearly as much as my brother though (you remember him right? Clever? Clever and Capricious? C’mon! Right?…)
We are going to legoland during spring break I think.
I am sick. I feel awful. I have influenza. Type ‘b’.
I HAVE TO MISS MY FRIEND’S BIRTHDAY PARTY! AARGH!!!!!!!
I FINALLY got my February muse. FINALLY!!!!!!!!!
I watched that MythBusters episode.
160- bad luck. I’ve had a bad day to, I ‘helped’ my friend with making a machine, well I basically told him how to make the whole thing, he thanked me momenterally and then took all the credit for it.

I like the color green. Did you know that the human eye first evolved (after gray-tones, of course) to see green? That’s why people made green boards to take the place of black boards because of this thoery. Is this mesage less eye-straining to read? 
164 I don’t know if it’s less eye straining, but it IS awesomer. (That’s not a word, is it?)
149 – Yeah. There aren’t any guys I like in my grade, and many of the really strange/mean guy like me. Tis extremely annoying.
160 – Ouch. Blah. My freind was really sick for most of the week and my sister has pnemonia. I was home sick on monday because of an upset stomach and the fact that I couldn’t keep my balance for more than five seconds. Then again, that might’ve been because I didn’t get to sleep till almost midnight and woke up at six fifteen.
I get to go swordfighting at three fifteen, like I do every saturday. I lost my bouts (competitions) last time, so I must regain my pride!!!!! Oh wait, what pride? Never mind.
166, I fence to! Foil rocks,what do you take? Also 166, on Christmas day I had stomach flu, so I ate an exquisite Cristmans dinner, then projectile vomited (a new experience) it all out before I could reach the bath room. Maybe that was a bit to much detale.
— this is a picture of the GAPAs when they read this.
161- Influenza= The Flu.
160- Ooh. Too bad. I had the flu in 2nd grade. All I can remember is staying home from school for two weeks and getting to eat tons of gummy worms.
166 and 167: My brother fences and I dunno the point of it. I mean come on!!!!
164: I didn’t know all that cool stuff about green! That is SO cool!!!
168: How come you got to eat gummy worms and I didn’t?????
I just started this REALLY COOL lego robotics class and the teacher said something about mlcad… Does anybody know anything about it???????
169 – Mlcad? What’s the context? Are you sure about that spelling?
^_^
(- )-)

I fence, too! And so does THF! (Well, THF does more than I do, but neither of us has done it for a few months because we’ve been really busy with other stuff).
i like legos. i have two rubber maid boxes full of them! i builded a catapult out of legos. And a trebuchet. And a dragster. And an airplane. And a boat. And a car. And a rocket.
167, i had the same stomach bug on christmas eve too. Only i had no idea where i was, what i was doing, or what show was on TV
YO, GAPA!!! you only have me posted as burnzkid on the “Who’s Here” page. FIX IT, or else my pink ninja bunny minions will find out where you live and attack you stealthly in the night!
I also enjoy LEGOs tremendously. I like LEGO video games, too, but my stupid dad won’t buy a stupid new graphics card for our stupid obsolete computer so Star Wars II will work. ANYWAY, why are the big lego sets so expensive? like the big ships from star wars? jeez, they’re like $100. where are you supposed to get that kind of money? legos beat k’nex hands down.
Pwt pwns
legos rock. i have lego star wars II for gamecube, and i think its harder than the original game.
Let’s see,
For LEGO Star Wars I’ve got the AT-ST, the clone bomber, the TIE intercepter, the Endor speeder, the clone V-wing, the clone speeder, the droid tank, the ‘ewok attack’… not to mention my dad’s much bigger collection. I don’t have room or enough hours to find out how many LEGO Star Wars sets I hane, not to mention my over all sets.

Hee-hee! Look at my new title!
Quick comment that has nothing to do with the “discussion”:
This is the Discussion thread, not the Random thread. That means that we actually try to not make pointless comments saying things such as “answer my post durr!” and “how do you do these smilies?” or “OMG WHY AM I NOT IN THE WHO”S HERE GAPAS YOU HATE ME I”M GONNA CWY WAAAAAAAH” in this thread. Instead, we try to have an actual conversation. A more appropriate place for that kind of comments would be the other Random thread or the Newbie thread. Also, making fake links (aka turning things green) is bad. Do not do it. It annoys people. And Gary throws toothpicks into my eyes every time someone does that (yes, I caught him from Axa).
okee several things:
1
I beat u all w/my amount of leggo: i have 1 huge tub (about the size of half your bed) in my basement FILLED with leggo. my bro uses it to make strange little games that litter the floor. no i do not understand them.
2
valintines day is the strangest holiday…. HOW DID IT GET STARTED……. i got no valintines, non of my friends love me enough, wait, i got one. okay anyways i gave all myfriends valintines but i got NONE! typical.
3 anyways to keep with this thread: i don’t see whats so great about lego, okay ya, its pretty cool. but its not as cool as say…. PLAYMOBILE! playmobile rox. i love it. for years me & my friend maggie would play it when she came to my house. we did the same with 1313 dead end drive.
oh one more thing: for all you who were arguing about instruments wayback there: BASS IS THE BEST im not talking bass guitar im talking BASS the big stinged thingy. i play it, i love it, it rocks.
i got this huge lego roller coaster and then my dog was chasing my cat and they ran into it and killed it….i was so close to finishing too.
Sorry, Lizzie-person.
– 180 #3, HOW DARE YOU! Playmobile is more historically correct (as in the knights, vikings, etc.), but other wise LEGO is so much cooler, Playmobile is basically plastic dolls , where as LEGO is more like slightly cooler KAPLA.
EP Has anyone here seen KAPLA? It’s sort of like miniature 2X4s, seconded only by well, LEGO!
EEP Kagcomix, you make me mad, no, REALLY MAD , I shall unleash the furry of Gynzamorph upon you!

Perhaps it is overly persnickety of me, but I am of the opinion that this thread would be much improved if the astute comment, “More continuity, focus, and attention to spelling, punctuation, and other niceties,” was followed. Besides, I am Welsh royalty. If compliance is not secured, then my groundskeepers will set the gerunds on you.
they need to make a random thread we are clogging this one up with our randomness.
What is up with the Incredible Morphing Chamileon? I’m confused.
(187, 192) kt the gr8, there is a random thread, Flamablamablous February, part 2. Or did you have something else in mind?
spider plant- i like oswald. verry cool. sorry but i like playmobile its more storylineish. lego you build stuff
umm sorry i clicked twice
180-
My brother TOTALLY!!!!!!!!!!! Beats you w/ Lego! That is funny.
Ookay. Here is an example:
Imagine a box. About as large as… 1/3 of a normal sized door. My brother has about five of those, as well and his ENTIRE ROOM literally- I mean LITERALLY FILLED with Legos. Everywhere I step, my feet get poked with legos. All the surfaces in his room besides his bed are covered with legos. I am NOT EXAGGERATING! I mean I am REALLY NOT exaggerating.
I got a postcard from muse! Does this mean my letter didn’t get in? snnniff?
well, anyway, uranina watches me through her telescope, or at least that’s what it said. also that my feet are very photogenic.
GAPAs: please inform the bug (me) what this means?EXPLANATORY!
also, it was lovely-ly written in green colored pencil.
167 – My class is only fencing foil right now, but I’m taking the next level in two weeks, where we’re allowed to fence Sabre and Eppe (sp?). Anyways, I beat a guy with a lot more experience than I have last Saturday, succesfully pulling off a jumping stab and an RCM, and considering using fleshing once, though not actually doing it. I also (unfortunately) pulled my right thigh muscle in the midst of clumsily triping in the middle of the second attempted RCM. (Oh. joy.) I am now not allowed to do most physical activity, but I STILL WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeaya!
169 – Come on. The point is that the last time some dumb guy was hitting on me, he was discouraged by his freinds who were saying “hey dude, she fences. better get out of the way.” And it’s a great way to meet cool people. And it’s good excersize. And it seems that there are at least a few fencing Musers, so going to a class increases your chances of meeting one.
180 – i think that FridgidSymphony said that it was originally a Norse holiday.
197 – Wooooooooooaaaaaaahhhhhhhh. Slightly creepy. Actually, it reminds me a lot of my obsession with random knick-knacks (often called junk, but IT IS NOT SO!) They are all over my room, in many of my pockets, and clogging up several drawers. The current inventory of my pocket is: a red pen, a pen, two pencils, a pegasus figurine, a quartz crystal, a necklace that’s actually a small container, a folded peice of paper with my “Things to Do” list on it (written in ancient runes, just cuz they’re so fun to write with), some loose change, a metallic pen, a pen that lights up, my iPod shuffle (old version, very scuffed up), some Valentines Day mints, and a hairclip.
My freinds must think that there’s another world living in just my pocket. They always ask me to borrow a pencil because they know that I’ll have one.
Kagcomix,
Sorry for getting so enraged, but when the honor of LEGO is at stake… What do you mean by ‘storylineish’? Do you mean it’s easier to make a coherent story? SP (Spider Plant) like LEGO, recent and old. For getting older sets or indivindual peices, try [snip. –Admin.], or just look around, Bricklink rocks!
^_^

Hey, Is this thread dead? Hello…?
Aha! LEGO! The toys of my childhood. I made a little town off of a town my brother once made there was a pizzaria and a bunch of other things. My brother actually has the airplanes made out of legos. I love legos.
199- On the topic of things in pocket/purse. I never carry anything in my pocket but for about two weeks I kept a ruler in my shoe because I forgot to put it in my purse.
Question did anyone ever get that soccer lego set? I got it and gosh darn it, it was idiotic I also had the skate board set. That was idiotic too.Anyone else who have those sets?
GAPA’s: does this awkward silence mean that, *Gasp*
i didn’t get my letter in?
ah well, 9th times the charm, eh?
When I was little. my friend and I used to make kitties out of legos. We then gave them TV’s, beds, etc. and played a sort of doll house game with them. Sounds stupid, I know, but we loved it. My brother has way too many bionicles.
My friend has a whole town made of lego called legoland. Its so detailed, he fought a war with it: the Lego Union versus the Duplo Confederacy.
new thread! computer and video games! please post! w00t!
Bionicle started great, but it’s just gone too down-hill recently, it would be better to stop making them.
Bionicles are fantastic, even though I don’t do ’em anymore, my brother likes them, and I always admire just the way these sphere thingies and various mask techniques can go so far.
If this is the Incredible Morphing Chameleon Thread, why doesn’t anyone talk abou the Incredible Morphing Chameleon?
I want to change the topic to……………………………..
CARTOONZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, the horror. I watch alot of cartoons. Like, ALOT!!!!!!! Here are mah favorites:
Camp Lazlo (Cartoon Network)
Foster’s home for imaginary friends (Cartoon network)
Ed, edd, and eddy (Cartoon network)
That “Avatar” show (Nickelodeon)
Spongebob (Nickelodeon)
The Fairly odd parents (Nickelodieon)
And…. There’s more. But I forgot. A heh heh.
hey. i saw the topic and had to come on here to say LEGOS ARE AWESOME!!!! GO DENMARK!!!!!!!!!
and btw they totally pwn bionicles.
oh yeah, and dont buy those sets of like soccer etc. buy maybe a few really big buildings, or like star wars stuff and then get the like 10000 piece set of just bricks. thats what i have. lol
I had lego fruit snacks the other day…they wouldn’t stick together, though. Tch.
I thought this wasn’t random.
207/208 – My little bro loves playing with Bionicles. I call them Bionic-knuckles because the word wounds like a combination of the two. He must have almost ten or fifteen different kinds, but the pieces alway get mixed up or lost.
Okay, new topic, because the Lego one seems to be dying out pretty quickly and the Cartoon one isn’t catching on. (my parents cancelled cable, so goodbye cartoons.)
The New Topic Is:
Complaints,
because everyone has something to complain about and most people want to tell someone about it.
I shall start by complaining that I need to sit next to the same dumb guy in Language Arts and Spanish who I have to be science partners with. He talks to himself all the time, taps or hits things, or randomly mumbles stuff while other peole are having a conversation. And yes, he does these things during tests too (ex. ACT, SAT, MEAP, Final Exam) and since I’m the most “patient, tolerant, kind-hearted” person in the class, I’m supposed to be able to put up with and set a good example for all of the troublemakers or kids with mental problems. And they still ahve the nerve to ask me to dance ata dances and I don’t turn people down because of some “there are some people who go and commit suicide because someone didn’t dance with them” speech I was given in sixth grade.
Okay, I doubt anyone read that, but everyone’s open to complain if we can’t think of another topic that’ll get this thread going again.
School plays. Specificly Middle School Plays.
They are very horrible and the one I’m in is not coming together at all. The cast is forgetting their lines. The crew is doing just fine, though. We are doing “When in Rome” and are first performance is on Friday and we have lost about 3 rehersals due to snow days. And there is more snow due on Saturday.
Grumpf
complaint over
Not all school plays are horrible.
Although the play directing teachers don’t seem to have any idea what’s actually good. Real examples from my school’s past: I don’t remember sixth grade, so I can’t list that, 7th grade- Football Romeo. For one thing, I am not trying out for anything having anything to do with Romeo&Juliet. Another, I saw it (idle curiosity, and it’s not the actors’ fault), and the title had little to do with the play. Earlier this year- Characters. A confusing play-within-a-play, with depressing moments and an ending I didn’t think made sense. But I went because two of my friends were in it. Now, they’re doing a second play instead of a musical (*cries*). It was going to be Our Town. At the interest meeting, they showed a video of the first part. Snore. And they had a synopsis about how it was one of the great plays, about mortality. I went home and told my parents. Their reaction- “That’s a depressing play. People have commited suicide after seeing Our Town.” Then they changed what it’s going to be, to a play that is part of the sixth grade play-reading curriculum. But I liked Phantom Tollbooth when I read it in elementary school, so it’ll be OK. But I still prefer musicals.
215 ~ Yeah, the plays at my school have a great director, but the rest doesn’t quite come together. We have a pretty good crew for the most part, and the same goes for the cast, but it’s the parts that aren’t pretty good that cause the problems. Our cast ranges from great to really mediocre, as does the crew, so the parts with the great cast and crew work awesome, but the other parts don’t. If that makes sense.

215 – I’ve always liked my school plays/musicals (except in 7th grade). Last year we did Peter Pan, and we had a great director and it was really fun.
Compliant:
Little Miss Sunshine should have won more oscars…wah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
continuation of 216
I tried out for the play today but I don’t even find out if I get in callbacks until Thursday!!! Expect me to be in a bad mood if you see me tomorrow.
Ugh, definitely a complaint here:
Chem homework.
It’s on gas laws and I don’t really understand them (I get the easy ones, it’s things like PV=DRT that I can’t solve) and I can’t tell if I’m getting the right answers or not, and they don’t check. My chem teacher is a 5’9 (I’m 5 feet, she’s tall to me) extremely imposing indian woman, of whom tales of terror float throughout the school. I am so dead.
Wait, no, it’s PM=DRT. Maybe this is why I’m having so much trouble.
Complaints?
“ello! i wish to register a complaint”
Hello peoples! Sorry I keep vanishing for short times. I have been in and out of the hospital…. I have anorexia. Just thought I should tell you guys. Bye.
225-… wow…….. not cool…
225- We’re here for you! And just to stop what I know will be future accusations from certain people, anorexia nervosa is a real disease with both psychological and biological roots. It’s great that you’re getting treatment. You know all of us support you.
ARGH!!!!!!!! I acually made up a not-so-funny comic about anorexia. Maybe I’ll e-mail it to the GAPA’s. If that’s okay with them of course.
Yay, my birthday is on the list! The year was 1995 (I’m turning 12), but what does it mean by color?
221-Good luck making it!
225-Egad. Hopefully you’ll end up okay…
225- Seriously? I– Unexpected.
Complaints: Windows XP. NO Muse yet.
