So today. My mother takes me to see a movie. Actually. Its a documentary. About brothels.
No, really. Its actually about children growing up in brothels. In india. Good show, mind you, I feel kind of weird going to see a documentary in a theatre. Thats what discovery civilizations is for. And, well, the documentary channel.
I need to stop being so interested in whores. My mother also needs to stop being so creepy.
Some of you know what I'm talking about, some of you may not.
(because you're obviously not spending enough time in irc.)
Now reply to this.

[Sykoi]

Documentaries are always fun, and I think they're starting to take hold on America - what with Super Size Me, the Michael Moore films, etc. - topping off at some box offices.

(Super Size Me was a great movie, but Michael Moore tends to complain and 'credit' weird sources a bit too much)

[ashley]

I've actually only seen one Micheal Moore documentary. I can't say I'm very fond of him. I'm kind of bothered that the schools have us watch the Super Size Me one. I mean, we haven't yet, but we will.

One I try to shove down everyone's throats - although I really shouldn't - is on Stupidity (http://www.trailervision.com/trailer.php?id=143&PHPSESSID=fe0aef071b366e2a5f785c5afd8e417c). Its good, but its kind of weird that its on twice a month on the documentary channel. Its definitly designed for those who want to say "I'm intelligent, I'm watching a documentary."
It smacks of Micheal Moore.
EXPLODE.

[Redb@ck]

Michael Moore is a man who will do anything for money. If anyone of you have read "MICHEAL MOORE IS A STUPID BIG FAT MAN" you will understand. It a book which looks at the facts he isnt really the peoples man he comes across as with worn out T-Shirts etc. He is actually a really wealthing manhatten man who didnt grown up in Flint, Michigen as he says, but actually a wealthy part of Michigen. The book also talks about how he manipulates the footage and sound to change what people actually say and use comments from other speech and apply to one he is interested in.

Everyone go out and see the "Motorcycle Dairies" (in spanish) or "Les Choristes" (In French) if you want to see an awesome movie which isnt some mass produced rubbish out of hollywood, which all have budgets of $300 million and directors only interested in money. Beebe out.

One great documentary i saw bout a year back is called "Touching the Void" about two climbers expriences on a icy mountain, very well reinacted, great stuff. Beebe out.

mod edit: Please use the "edit" button instead of posting twice in a row. Thank you.

Ok thanks for the advice.

[Redb@ck]

It seems the theif option is not all it seems, take heed of this advice if you fail you lose money equal to the amount you attempt to take and 50 repuatation points. Its not fair :(

[Tekashi]

Lol you try to steal from me :p O well i cant buy anything with the points atm anyways. BTw ive never seen micheal moor...

[Arrak]

I've never liked Micheal Moore Films. He only presents one side of an issue. I don't always disagree with him but even when I agree I would like to see the other side of the issue. Thats what true documentaries should be about. Presenting unbiased facts and letting the viewer make up their own mind.

[Kingsama]

yeah Michael Moore is nothing more than a lefty Rush Limbaugh, different sides of the arguement, but same annoying BS.

At any rate, good movies you say?

I would advise a Clint Eastwood evening, If you could see Millon Dollar Baby, The Outlaw Josie Whales, Unforgiven, and /or Mystic River, you would be in for a treat. I dont buy that they are the greatest movies ever made, but in my mind the represent what all movies should aim to do. They are challenging on multiple levels, well packaged, and most importantly entertaining. In a lot of ways i see Clint and the Johnny Cash of the Movie world. Both have grasped making art that appeals to your everyday joe, but ladens said art with themes that can captivate you mentally as well...

you got that right, but sadly enough we as a world live in culture where intellectual honesty is something only maintained by the minority. Unfortunately most people have somesort of agenda they deem more important than people...

[Yong An]

Read a book.

There's a really easy way to end Moore's reign of ignorance...DON'T GIVE HIM YOUR MONEY. Don't go to his movies, don't read his books, don't even buy a magazine if his face is on it or if there's an interview. Even talking about the subject this much is probably not helping.

There's a saying in Hollywood: "No publicity is bad publicity." ;)

[ashley]

Micheal Moore - I still don't like him, but I don't necessarily want him dead. I have to give him some credit, hes knows what the public wants.

My friend is completely into movies. I, not so much. I rarely get my ass in front of the tv. We want to have a movie night. I think our current list for movies is something like Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Time Bandits, Brazil, Swingers, some musical from the 50's and something monty python. The list is actually longer and more varied, but those are the only ones I can remember. (Note; I highly doubt we'll get around to doing it. We can barely get around to bus trotting.)

Mmm. Books. Someone gave me one the other day, said it made her think of me. Mind you, its completely twisted. Exquisite Corpse (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0684836270/ref=pd_bxgy_img_2/102-5238872-0347308?v=glance&s=books) by Poppy Z Brite (I'm so horribly afraid of that name. My name reminds you of Lite Brite, yet I write books about necrophillia. This is your childhood.) Things that made her think of me; rape, incest, pedophillia, necrophillia, homosexuality murder, aids, livers and curry and babies and acid... I really don't know what to think of that.
Books are so much better than movies. Movies don't turn me in the slightest, this book makes me gag. (To be honest, I don't read books like this. I'm so not used to it.)

Amen to that, i am currently on a strict hollywood boycott, i only go to movies that i know i want to support, and rent movies that also fit that catagory. Blockbuster and the cinema will be lucky to see me every 3 months. As for TV, i love my dvr, i rarely watch live tv, and when i do it is usually just for background noise.Same for mass market music/books. I love living in my self inflected seclusion of pop culture...

[Kuraku Hideaki]

Talking about movies *Trying to change the subject off someone no-one likes*
What genres do you like the most.

I enjoy a good comedy, some i just dont find funny but others, they just hit the spot. I especially love Jim Carrey and Robin Williams. I am not much into horrors - but i am evolving into them.

How about anyone else?

[Sykoi]

Jim Carrey is great - ditto with Williams (Especially his stand up)

[Kuraku Hideaki]

Yes i agree. I love comedians who are actully funny. Many times i have watched people doing it for the money, being crap and not caring. It amazes me how they will - humiliate if you must - themselves for an extra dollar in front of an angry bar audience.

[ashley]

Comedy. British comedies. Mmm. Men in dresses.

And canadian dramas. Seriously. But not so much british ones, whenever I see one of them now, all I can think of is my brother saying "Don't ever let me be poor.... *five minutes later* and british. Ashley, don't let me be poor and british. Okay?" while watching some bad british drama that I can't even remember the name of.

Luckily for me, comedies and dramas mix well.

[Kuraku Hideaki]

Yeah, my little brother crazy. He copies everything he sees from the t.v. After living with me and my bro long enough, you start to realize that if you give us a Jim Carrey movie, we are able to memerize every single bit of it - which is scary sometimes. lol, we would just walk around sometimes reciting our favourite parts of the movie...

good times.

[Greven]

I basically watch ALL kinds, types and genres of movies except for one, and that's those love films. You know... a romantic drama.

Favourite films is by far Empire of the Sun and Fight Club :D

[Sykoi]

At one point I had the entire Dumb and Dumber movie memorized after watching it 100+ times... :(

Speaking of good comedians... All of the really good ones are dead, and most recently of which - is Mitch Hedberg :(

[Kuraku Hideaki]

I basically watch ALL kinds, types and genres of movies except for one, and that's those love films. You know... a romantic drama.

Favourite films is by far Empire of the Sun and Fight Club :D

Empire of the sun... isn't that based in Japan and mainly abouta boy and POW's in that camp somewhere? or am i thinking of a different movie?

[Greven]

Empire of the sun... isn't that based in Japan and mainly abouta boy and POW's in that camp somewhere? or am i thinking of a different movie?

It's in China, Hong Kong. Otherwise quite correct. It takes place as the Japanese invade Hong Kong, and he is later on transported to a prison camp out in the desert, not too far from the chinese coast.

[Kuraku Hideaki]

Yeah i think thats it! The line "Kid, you want a hershey's bar?" comes to mind.

And to think, in the end he finally got it!

[Greven]

Yeah i think thats it! The line "Kid, you want a hershey's bar?" comes to mind.

And to think, in the end he finally got it!

Hey! Don't give away the movie :P

[Kuraku Hideaki]

im not giving away the movie! im just saying there is a kid who gets a hershey's bar!
lol hehehe... or am i?

[Kuraku Hideaki]

Another thing to talk about:

Geting a part-time job in september (hopefully), and i was thinking EB games. Would that improve my knowledge of games and computers and such, or am i better learning this stuff on my own and getting a job at a food place to embrace the free food after the store closes?

[Tekashi]

Take a C++ class and start programming. Or play MMORPGs eb games is just a store they dont teach you about games. And you cant work there till yur 16. Beleave me ive worked there.

[Kuraku Hideaki]

Damn, ok then. (I thought it was different here in AUS) Plus i doubt they have C++ as a course in Aussie High schools lol. Do you mean in college or uni?

[Tekashi]

Well we have it in pre college classes. I have no idea about australia.

[ToshiMaru]

O, btw, wats the difference between Hong Kong, and China? I keep hearing it as if its two different countries. :confused:

[ashley]

Hong Kong is a city in China.

[Shinoku]

Depends on how you look at it. It was a colony of the British loaned from the Chinese actually as a trade port. Now most of the British have left the city and the Chinese re-took it. But under the British authority much more freedom (read; gambling, own establishments, etc.) was allowed and thus the current city of Hong Kong just like any other western city but in a country ruled by communism. There should be a clash of both sides one day and one of these sides is gonna have to go. My bet is on communism ^^

[Tekashi]

Ya i beleave the contract was for 99 years and in 1997 chinese took it back.

[ToshiMaru]

That doesnt seem too long ago

[Kuraku Hideaki]

Lol, hahaha, how could you not get that?

Oh, and in australia i dont think we have pre-colledge classes :( We only have electives which we take in years 9-10 these include, computers, art, technology mandatory, music, etc.

[Arrak]

O, btw, wats the difference between Hong Kong, and China? I keep hearing it as if its two different countries. :confused:

When I was in Hong Kong last it was under British rule. It switched back to Chinese rule a year after I was there. I had been there 6 times in the early 90s. Hong Kong territory was split in two districts. Hong Kong island and Kowloon.

[Kuraku Hideaki]

kool, this wil help me with my history assignments :)

[Sykoi]

Speaking of China - if Japan goes to war with them (again), they'll get whooped :(

[Kuraku Hideaki]

HAHAHAHAm yeah, so true. Why are they so EVIL!?!?!?!?

[Sykoi]

Its not that China is evil, its that Japan is bad mouthing China, or something along those lines.

[Kuraku Hideaki]

Why is it always the countries and never certain people? I do not like to think as the people of a nation generally to be bad...

[Arrak]

Speaking of China - if Japan goes to war with them (again), they'll get whooped :(


No they would not. Japan has powerful allies and China has pretty much nobody.

Also while Japan's military is small its cutting edge and China has stuff from the 50s and 60s. As an example Japan uses the latest ships that are on par with what we use. Aegis Class kinds of ships. An Aegis Class ship can target and fire on over 100 targets at the same time. On the other hand China uses ships with radar syatems like we had 40 years ago. China may have a much larger army but they would never get it past Japan's Navy/Air Force to land it on Japanese soil.

[Tekashi]

At one timei beleave japan invaded there shores for natural recources. Because japan is small they ran out.

[Redb@ck]

Japan wouldn't attack China anyway, they don't have an expansionist national policy. Anyway no one would be stupid to start that, cause America would join in, then Korea, then Britian, then Italy (who would change sides later to the winning side if they were loosing ;-) ). However the current issue in the headlines which has created a dispute between china and Japan is about a school history textbooks which is now in all Japanese high schools. However the problem with the books is that it doesnt address the issue of Japanese war crimes in the WW2 section. Any opinions? Beebe out.

[Sykoi]

Lets change the subject to something everyone can relate to :)

What time did you get up today?

I personally just got up (5:30am)

[Redb@ck]

I got up at 8:30, very nice time to sleep 2, but ill be getting up at 5:00 tomorrow, ready for school. Beebe out.

[Sykoi]

5:00am? Wow... Although when I was still in school, I got up at 4:30 from time to time.

Don't ask why, I honestly can't remember; although I think it had something to do with 'Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's: The Lost World' being on at 6:00am (Jennifer O'Dell is hot ;))

[Kuraku Hideaki]

i woke up at about lunchtime today o_0

[Redb@ck]

Yeah we live a fair way out and i have tennis training in the morning. Beebe out.

[Kuraku Hideaki]

training in the morning? WOW.

I woke up at lunchtime today o_0 ;)

Ok, its 9:30 here, im gonna go to sleep now. Goodnight/morning/afternoon to you all!!!

[KazeKuroi]

I traditonally get up around 11:30.
But with this being a 24 hour town.. I can go work out, go grocery shoping, go to the doctor, get a perscription... all at 3 am in the morning. There is no point in getting up early.

[ashley]

I have a very, uh, odd sleep schedual. Its hard to say where my day begins. I prefer to go to sleep at 5pm, until 8pm, then staying up until 6am or 7am, and sleeping for an hour or so. I know, thats only four hours of sleep. But when I get whats mosts people's enough sleep, I'm in a really, really bad mood. Angry constantly.
The real me? Perhaps. I prefer living in the haze of sleep deprivation.

[Tekashi]

It was britians at once. It its not A city its a seperate country. Just like singapore.

[Zyke]

I usually need to get up at 7:00 (If I'm lucky) on weekdays and maybe 7:30 on saturdays. Sundays, luckily, I get to sleep as late as I want.

[Kuraku Hideaki]

heh, ash, you sooo craaazy ;)

[KazeKuroi]

Not just a city its a HUGE City in China. With its population people act as though it is a different country.

[Kuraku Hideaki]

Excuse me, Mayz, but i thought the topic was changed? Because it is hard to follow a forum if there are bits and peices of different topics scattered around the thread.

[KazeKuroi]

Yeah I forgot to quote that one... =( I am far behind mentally. I haven't had a chance to read all that stuff. I am sorry... But the getting up in the am topic is so boring =(

[Sykoi]

What are you doing right this second?

I'm personally just sitting here, working with hashc0de on a few things.

[ashley]

There are maids in my house. Cleaning it. I didn't expect them to still be here.
Its strange to walk into your house and see little old women dragging a vacuum cleaner down the hall.
I am waiting for them to leave so I can find food. Mm. Food.

[Yong An]

I'm sitting here with one thumb in my mouth and the other up...well...that's not important.
I've been switching every 30 minutes.

[Kingsama]

that would freak me out too ash...

as of now i am sitting at my desk surfing the forums when i am supposed to be working...

:biglaugh:

[Tekashi]

OMG richie wish i could affors maids....hot sweedish maids.....mMMmMmm

[KazeKuroi]

Almost every singaporean family has maids... I am jealous. =(

[ToshiMaru]

Why, is the country so cheap that almost anyone can afford it?

[ShiniGami]

wow thats cool...i almost forgot that we could have maids....but isnt it expensive to pay them? :confused:

[ToshiMaru]

Not really i guess, your the boss, you make the price, and they find you.

[ashley]

Probably, my father doesn't know about it. They just come in Wednesday afternoons. The only reason we have them is because my parents are away, and me and my brothers really aren't very good at keeping an entire house clean.

[Sykoi]

I used to have one, but never really called her a maid - Just a "Cleaning lady"
I think it was $60 everytime she came over - spent 4-5 hours cleaning, came by every week.

Having other people clean your house isn't just for the rich anymore :-P

[SmokeDragon]

My mom has someone do that, I don't think she charges much but then we usually don't have much that needs cleaning.

[ShiniGami]

wow 60$ a day thats harsh. :eek: although im big house messer in my house, I'm the only one that cleans up after myself/themself so I keep the house clean my self, tiring but relieving. :o

[ToshiMaru]

Shoot, im the maid of the house, the only other non-family residenting workers are our gardeners, they come every first tuesday of the month and fix up our front yard, thats it, i think it was about 100 - 300 $$. Shoot, with that money, i'll gladly add gardening to my chores. :D Wouldnt you?? :rolleyes:

[ShiniGami]

dude I also do the gardening, i do dishwashing(although we have dishwasher), cook rice, make food, cut the grass, ans straighten up the place to make it livable, but I get money as allowance ehhe :p

[ToshiMaru]

Man, i do more than that, but i dont get diddly squat!! :mad: I have to ask for money, and thats ambarrassing, i cant wait for a job. And I also have a dishwasher too, why dont we use that?

My moms tried it once, said that it messed up the dishes.

[ShiniGami]

hey i was'nt complaining, mi family gives me allowance cause they say i earned it, and yeh i can't wait to get a job so i can be proud for the money im going to be earning. same here we hab a dishwasher but we dont't use it because its too confusing and too much energy. and plus mi dishwasher goes for like 4-6hrs :eek:

[KazeKuroi]

I do all sorts of favors for my mother... It's my dues for all the times she woke up in the middle of the night to comfort me, changed my diaper... I also hate dishwashers they come out with crappy quality. I would feel bad taking an allowance, after all the stuff I have taken from her before.

[Kuraku Hideaki]

Taken from her before? Like what?

[Redb@ck]

Oh yes dont we all hate dishwashers, our has been broken a month now and so far the repaires have managed to send the wrong part over from japan three times, forth time lucky i hope. Beebe out.

[Kuraku Hideaki]

hahahahaha, i think Japan was best before they adapted the "taste" of the westerners. Why did we let them adapt to our rituals? Oh, yeh, because they would have build a strong economy and make the rest of us look bad! :cool: just joking!

[KazeKuroi]

Taken from her before? Like what?
Maybe you don't realize how much your parents have givin up their life for you... Meh, most people don't till they have their own children, or just older.

[Tekashi]

Hes young still i think he'll understand when hes older...Im starting to really wanna help my mother and i do.

[SmokeDragon]

I'm young, and I understand. As far as house cleaning goes I may not do a great deal of it but I make up for it working for insurance and all that fun stuff...

[Sykoi]

How many languages does everyone speak?
I personally only know a few words of danish, dutch, german, and a few hundred of Japanese.

I know theres a lot of Europeans on this forum (Mainly Swedish/Dutch) - so don't be afraid to show your face and speak your native tongue ;)

[SmokeDragon]

I speak English of course, and I know a lot of Spanish, but I am far from fluent. Next I would very much like to learn Japanese, followed by German.

[Sykoi]

Prepare to toss everything you know about (roman-based) languages, out the window when learning Japanese - you read backwards, the sentences seem backwards when you first learn it (i.e. I Japanese understand) and the culture is a lot different.

Although its a lot of fun to learn, and use :)

[SmokeDragon]

I have a feeling I will be using it a lot more than Spanish, though I do not know a place to learn, I hope one of the colleges around here teach it.

[ShiniGami]

although i don't understand that much japanese i know that generally the subject comes first, then the object and the verb comes at the end of the sentence. At the moment i know 40 characters/syllables in hirigana. I only know some phrases. But at skool i am learning spanish.

[Sykoi]

Anyone see 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' yet?

[ashley]

I'm dying to see it and don't want to hear anything about it until I do. LALALALA.
*plugs her ears*

[ToshiMaru]

It seems interesting, but i dont think it has any real plot, just another comedy. But other than that, I wanna see it. :loser:

[Sykoi]

Just another comedy!? Its a cult classic...

Or so I'm told, I've never had the honor of reading it :(

[ToshiMaru]

Yea, i've heard that it had a novel, and some other classics and stuff, but i've never heard of them.....or so i think?

But i do still like it, i really want to see it.

[ashley]

I. posted. uhm. A link to the full version online on the old forums.
No. real. plot.
If thats what people get from the movie, I'm going to have to strangle the creators.

My favourite book. Well. the first three. The last two. Gnuh.

[ToshiMaru]

Wow, 5 books? that novel must've been really cool. Im just sad i've never heard of it.

Same thing with Tolkien, and Lord of the Rings - at first i knew nothing of its existance. Then my cousin showed me a trailer for the first movie, a couple of months before its theatrical release.

Now, i know almost everything about it, from watching all the movies, including special features on the DVD's and reading the books, and WOW, im a real Tolkien Fan.

What saddens me is that his whole life, he published only the lord of the rings? wait...this guy doesnt have any other novels right? because if he does, i wanna know.

[ashley]

Amazon is good for some things (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/103-2533481-8733464).

[Sykoi]

Pandtastic is dying, isn't it? :(

[Tekashi]

ok um lets talk about....My ventrilo server lol its there.....24.111.31.120
im sitting in it like always lol

[ToshiMaru]

No, your just holding on to the server. I log in almost everyday and im the only one there, unless i invite Kuraku to log on.

Seriously? How high is your electricity and internet bills? You never turn off you pc. :dunce:

[Sykoi]

I haven't turned off either of my PCs for more than 5 minutes, for about 6 months... At one point, one of them was on for 8 months straight... Bad? Nah :P

[Tekashi]

heh im not the one paying them :) im sure if they were bad they would talk to me about it. And im more active now if im not sleeping....or at school.
Btw im not holding on to it i own it durrr :p i could shut it off anytime if i wanted.

[ToshiMaru]

Ohhhh, thought you had to log on to keep the server up. My Bad :chinese:

[KazeKuroi]

So what are ya guys doing for your moms on Mother's Day?

[Lexlor]

I may be incorrect but Britian has often through history had large amounts of X-pats in Hong-Kong. Was and may still be a Internation tax free zone. Much like the port of Tangier was for years.

Saw this movie in full yesterday on satelite, first time I'd seen the whole movie. Best part i believe was when he was salivating on plane, turns and salutes the Japanese pilots.

[ShiniGami]

for mothers day I'm going to tell my mom to take a day off work and and we going to a nice and fancy restaurant/buffet and eat and have fun.:approve:

[OdaNobunaga]

I will give my mother a red packet(with money as in chinese tradition for good luck)and my whole family includes my 2 sis-in-law and my little nephew will go out to our favorate restuarant to have our dinner. After that we will proceed back to our house and chat till after min night. :D

[Lexlor]

I'll send my Mom some flowers I guess and Oma. 25 roses here cost like 75 cents. Not seeing them for another year...priceless.

[KazeKuroi]

That is sad. Fear to see your own mother?
Bah remind me to abort my child like you.

[Tekashi]

I think i just take my grams and mom to IHOP they seem to like it. Maby ill talk dad into getting her some wine lol

[Kyran]

For Mothers Day I am probably going to take her to a nice place for Supper and get her a nice necklace or something. :)

[ppharoah]

Great points you all bring up. Thanks Yong, that tag line ""No publicity is bad publicity," tells us all what I do with Michael Moore. lol Never seen a movie, interview, or a book, never will.
I think the other great Hollywood tag line is "Noone remembers your last successful project but EVERYONE remembers your last Bomb!"
A night of action films sounds more appealing than a night with Moore...hehe...Has anyone seen any really great Japanese action films on an epic scale? There was one made in the early 80's that comes to mind, "Heaven and Earth" NOT the 2003 version or the Oliver Stone version. I have been looking for a DVD release of this epic film, it seems to be really rare.:(

[Sykoi]

Moving on since this seems dead...
How many of you watch Becker?
What about sitcoms in general?

[Tekashi]

i like the show yes dear on FX.

[Sykoi]

Seems so quiet in here...

[Shinoku]

Some times a quiet moment can say more than a thousand words...others are just painfull and awkward...this is one of them painfull, awkward ones :...:

[ashley]

Fraiser > Becker.


... I started making this pasta with a creamy sauce and onions and bell peppers. Then my brother comes home from work, and hes like, good, I'll make steak. And now we're putting bacon in the middle of the steak. And. Seriously, its lunch time, I'm not used to being up right now, let alone cooking fancy.

[Lexlor]

Alright serious question here. From the locations of some of us we live on several continents.

Ketchup - Best brand where you live.

Canada - Hienz
Ecuador - Hunts

Anyone have a link or recipe for making booze at home. lol Just an interest not a drinker. example Limoncello (sp?) , potato mash?

[KazeKuroi]

Albertsons Ketchup is best cause its cheap, and I like saving money.

[SmokeDragon]

The best ketchup (Isn't it spelled Katsup or something like that?) is the red kind. :p

[ashley]

The best ketchup (Isn't it spelled Katsup or something like that?) is the red kind. :p
Catsup, Ketchup.

Purple kind. Gnguaugeh. </3

[KazeKuroi]

What's next on the shoping list?
Pickles?

[ashley]

I was going to buy some pickles the other day. Stood in front of eighty different kinds. Only one kind of that... sweet kind. And that was no name brand.
Who buys no name pickles?
Ew.

[KazeKuroi]

I buy albertson's brand again...

[Lexlor]

How about malo?

In Canada - Hellmens (sp?)

Ecuador - AlaCena -comes in a tube and you squirt it out.

[Sykoi]

Wonder why Pandtastic keeps dying :(

[ashley]

Simple.

We're not interesting people.

Seriously.

[Greven]

Wonder why Pandtastic keeps dying :(

Why?

Perhaps because it's already 120+ posts and 1,000 views?

Anyway, even though "ketchup" is an extremely thrilling topic, I think we need to change it. Without going too nationalistic and patriotic, I would gladly discuss Ice Hockey WC and Sweden's accomplishments so far :P

Ehm, if that doesn't swing your way, we could always talk about the meaning of life? How do you comprehend it to all turn out and what do you think is the -one- most important thing to have done before you die?

[Shinoku]

About the ice hockey: I like the LA Kings...Final

Meaning of life:
Nothing is curtain. Well death is and that's it.

One thing I need to accomplish before my life ends? Well I guess it would have to be somekinda legacy I need to leave behind. Not sure what but in the end people only tend to remember you by that :-P

[Sykoi]

Leave behind money and people will love you until it runs out ;)

[Shinoku]

Thanks for the big cheer up there! Well money making it is then :sigh1:

[Koheo]

who here is done with school?

[OdaNobunaga]

[Tekashi]

Theres nothing like home brewed saki to get the full japanese look http://www.geocities.co.jp/Foodpia/1751/sake.html mMMmMmm sake :D

[ToshiMaru]

LOL, you know, this might help you a lot as a chef ingame :p

[KazeKuroi]

do you like your sake cold or warm?
Warm to me tastes like piss. =p

[Tekashi]

do you like your sake cold or warm?
Warm to me tastes like piss. =p

Ive never trie Sake.

[Shinoku]

Normal. As in straight out of the bottle. Too cold and you will hardly taste the real flavour. Too warm and it will taste like Kaze said. Don't drink it too fast, it's killer for the brain ;)

[KazeKuroi]

I am trying to prevent Sykoi from saying Pandtastic is Dying... again.
So... I am going to Riverside tomorrow... First vacation in 3 years. YAY!
not much there though. Anyone else ACTUALLY doing something this weekend? Normally, I sit behind the computer...

[Skurai]

Going up north to see some family and celebrate victoria day. YAY! Fireworks! :sgrin:

[ToshiMaru]

like usual, sit here, argue bout Tatsumaki, and get wasted. Hopefully itll be different this summer.

[ShininShado]

Hello,

Well this is basically just a goof thread about nothingness right? Hmmm... I guess writing this I find out that I need to relax some while goofing off. Goofing off and being all tense is no good, haha.

Shin

[KazeKuroi]

Well, I am back... And I feel sick... While I was gone my dog vomited in my room, and well, no one cleaned it up... My dog ate her own vomit. =( Just now... I am so discusted.

[Shinoku]

Well, I am back... And I feel sick... While I was gone my dog vomited in my room, and well, no one cleaned it up... My dog ate her own vomit. =( Just now... I am so discusted.It's probably your dog's own special way of saying: "Welcome home, I missed you so dearly!"

:yeah:

[ToshiMaru]

think thats bad? My dog ate someones elses dogs ****, and i didnt know what it was. Guess what, i reached in, and had to take it out. Had to soap wash my hand for hours. :mad:

[Sanctus]

Now thats all just completely disgusting. I am planning on gettin a pet though. I need a nice, furry friend. I have grown quite fond of Sharpei's

http://img283.echo.cx/img283/3844/sharpei2lt.png

God, I think they are just so adorbale and funny lookin' I can't wait to get one so I cna play with it's skin! :P

[ToshiMaru]

Ya lol they call is a lhapso apso thats my dog :D

[ToshiMaru]

i remember when my dog looked at me like that. He is EVIL I TELL YOU!!! i wonder, why is it that their eyes are like that. does it contain different chemical makeups than humans????

[ashley]

I haven't been putting any thought into anything I've been saying today.

[Chronor]

Sooo i say anything right....

Ok i was eathing my favorite cereal of all time (Viva la Cinamon Toast Crunch!!) and i'm surfin the web. And suddenly i was attacked by some cyber ninjas. They jumped right out of the computer and started introducing themselves. One named Sykoi, was talking about this awesome game named Tatsumaki, but for some reasone everyone calles it T:LAW. So he ordered me to go to the site or else it's my head. So i go there and i join the forums and i'm completely addicted to the idea of the game and how some of the people actually have an opion of how the game could be built.

It was soooo 1337. (1337=leet=gay term 12 year olds with a cable connection use)

After i was through surfing Sykoi, and the developers of the game in cybersuits traveled through time to the future of Japan. The floors were covered in manga and the skyscrapers were huge. Than we traveled to Feudal Japan in the middle of a large brawl. I was almost attacked but i offered the soldier my Cinamon Toast Crunch and he humbaly sat down and munched on my cereal. Than suddenly i felt a rush as if i was falling and than a sharp pain in my side. I fell on the floor and awoke from my dream. OOOOOHHH. :eek:

[Aidamina]

1337 dream

[Sykoi]

Cheerios > Cinnamon Toast Crunch :lol:

[Shinoku]

The imagination of some people never seems to stop amazing me...A cereal eating, fuedal Japanese soldier...cool :)

btw when will this thread finally die :confused:

[Sykoi]

Hopefully never, that was its original purpose - to be immortal :P

[Chronor]

Speaking about imortals....HIGHLANDER is the best show made...ever....to exist on earth...period :approve:

[Sykoi]

Its been so long since I've seen that show... The only thing I really remember is a cliff and a sword...
Oh, and long hair on guys :P

[TheSporkedOne]

sweet jesus, the highlander show was terrible! every second i watched it made me want to start stabing my self in the eyes with blunt objects.... Dont get me wrong the Highlander movies were excellent (hell the movies had Sean Connery!!!!), but the TV series felt worn and tattered and was just all around a lame duck...

[ToshiMaru]

hmm, highlander....i am VERY confused about the whole subject. I remember seeing some of its movies and i think some TV series too, but i am not caught up on the whole storyline. Okay...um...

The MOVIE:
The actor who played Raiden in Mortal Combat 1, was a katana wielding, irish/scottish warrior? and an immortal who was in a never ending battle against demons for more power and long life??

The SERIES:
He was a katana weilding immortal warrior who was chasing after another immortal demon who killed his wife? And fight against other people/demons and.....yea?

can somebody tell me the whole story? :newbie:

[KazeKuroi]

Here we are, born to be kings,
We're the princes of the universe.
Here we belong, fighting to survive
In a world with the darkest powers.
And here we are, we're the princes of the universe
Here we belong, fighting for survival
We've come to be the rulers of your world.
I am immortal, I have inside me blood of kings.
I have no rival, no man can be my equal
Take me to the future of your world.
Born to be kings, princes of the universe
Fighting and free, got your world in my hand
I'm here for your love and I'll make my stand
We were born to be princes of the universe.
No man could understand. My power is in your hand
Ooh, ooh, ooh, people talk about you.
People say you've had your day.
I'm a man that will go far.
Fly the moon and reach for the stars
With my sword and head held high
Got to pass the test first time-yeah
I know that people talk about me. I hear it every day.
But I can prove you wrong 'cause I'm right first time.
Yeah yeah alright watch this man fly, bring on the girls
Here we are. Born to be kings,
We're the princes of the universe.
Here we belong. Born to be kings,
Princes of the universe. Fighting and free
Got the world in my hands
I'm here for your love and I'll make my stand.
We were born to be princes of the universe.

Btw, It's Immortals just fighting, to be the One immortal, they where able to sense eachother. You chopped off someone's head they absorbs one energy or something like that. I lost intrest when I was bout 12.

Anyone else like talk radio? I personally can't get enough of it... I can't stand half of what they say (I live in a highly republican state where Gay Marriage was just out lawed, pornography is being banished from stores, etc. :() - but its so fun listening to people complain.

My personal favorite is: Infidel Guy (http://www.infidelguy.com/), just because he has some nice hosts (Michio Kaku for instance)

Anyone else listen to AM / talk radio?

[Chronor]

Personally i kinda like talk radio. But not the political crap. Just basically a pair of guys talking about their day and cracking jokes occasionally. I started listenening after i played GTA 3 and listened to Chatterbox on the digital radio. Not bad for fake entertainment.

[ToshiMaru]

Freaky, a few days ago, a dog came into my house, and nearly killed me. Weird thing was...it was a chihuahua. :eek:

[Sicarius]

talk radio is bull man, it sucks it pisses me off and annoys me, makes me run everyone over and then i get pulled over, i try to tell them it was the radios fault! but noooo, no one ever believes me. so then i end up shooting up a couple cops and my ride blows up and then i have to hide in the motel, and then i usually suicide with grenades cause i like the pretty colors........who else likes pretty colors? whats your favorite color? mine is Dark grey blue....

[Sykoi]

Pandtastic is random but not THAT random :P

[Sicarius]

what!?! you lied to me! damnit, well, might as well answer the question buddy ^_^

[Sykoi]

My favorite color is probably #0199DE (Light blue)

[Sicarius]

roflmao nice one, howd you know the number? hahaha what the number of my favorite color? ;P

[Sykoi]

Google "Hex color picker"

[KazeKuroi]

Indigo, Purple, Dark Purple, Black, and Red.

[Sicarius]

Nice choices ^_^, dark purple black and red are among my favorites too lol

[Slots]

oh oh mines the color of thought! or was it... the color of hunger.... i cant remeber...

[Chronor]

Simply put...Black and Green....NOTHING ELSE! :sasmokin:

[Shinoku]

this color (sand)


&

this color (red)

Espesially when they're together :)

[Sicarius]

oh oh mines the color of thought! or was it... the color of hunger.... i cant remeber...

errr, those are colors?

[KazeKuroi]

Sure look up Color Psychology.

[Sicarius]

hmmm, i see.
well, what is your favorite type of cookie??? I like Gingerbread men! RAWR
:-P

[Sykoi]

Who here likes lightning?
Its nice to just sit outside and watch lightning shooting across the sky :)

[Slots]

oh oh its fun to watch while in cars!

[Sykoi]

With the rain pouring down? Definitely :P

[Slots]

not to self ... when using option labeled "Theif!" reputation comes into play :(

[ToshiMaru]

lightning eh?? its cool, but i dont think i'd want to get too close.

[Yukie]

Lol what a coincidence, its thundering and lightning here in England now (raining too... )

[SunWuKong]

Lol what a coincidence, its thundering and lightning here in England now (raining too... )Rain?! In England?
;)

[Slots]

NEVER! it NEVER rains in england... never ever! not one bit ... no rain EVER! its like a desert over there!

[KazeKuroi]

I am mad at lightening. Damn Thunderstorms, causing 7 fires in the las vegas valley, I swear I was going to die from inhaling so much smoke.

[ShininShado]

Anyone watch Beauty and Geek? That show is funny, same with Average Joe.

[Kiros]

HAHA, that show is pretty cool, if you can make it past the theme music without shuting off your tv, or muting it. :D
I think its a neat concept though.

[ToshiMaru]

i was wondering, anybody know whats still going on with the Iraq thingy? i've seen and heard stuff bout Saddam Huessein being captured already or something, but whats still going on? Why are we still over there, this stuff seems so much longer and complicated than games.

I know its more complex than games, but im just saying, at least in games you know whats going on, in RL its like they are always hiding stuff from you. :Eyecrazy:

[Sykoi]

I know this is going to spark a lot of debate, but its pretty much for one reason (And for good reason whether we like it or not): Oil

America controls a good majority of the World's Oil, and we (Bush) want to keep it that way...
Not to mention the fact that Bush Sr. started this whole middle eastern war 10+ years ago, and Jr. is just finishing it.

While I don't exactly like Bush (Didn't vote for him :p), its something that had to be done one way or another. (We were bombing Iraq almost every week, and it needed to stop and we needed to take out the real problem not the general problem)


At least thats my understanding of it all, but then again I try to keep my head out of politics.

[ShininShado]

Hussein has been captured a loooong time ago, like at least two or three years ago. As far as main cause of war, who knows, probably oil reasons, political, and a backlash from 9-11 attacks, to try to get those responsible.

[Sicarius]

Personally, I think that politics in all forms should not be discussed on these forums, as they are a very touchy subject that can easily anger many people. While this particular post is infact available to everyone so that they may post on whatever topic they want, I believe that politics, along with other touchy topics such as religion, should not be discussed on these boards.

Plus, these boards are that of a video game, lets talk about the game and stuff, not real life, and my vote goes to keeping it that way.

[Sykoi]

Actually this exact forum (The Katana) is meant for whatever, not just games.

[Sicarius]

Eh, I suppose so, but I still think that certain topics should remain off the boards, but thats just my 2 cents.

[ToshiMaru]

Is Osama still in his cave? :smirk:

[Kiros]

Yes, and Hussein sends him doritos every month. (the family pack)

To be honest Im not sure.

[KazeKuroi]

I thought we captured him... and were taking him to court... Was that a dream I had of NBC nightly news?

[Greven]

Generally speaking, religion and politics should be avoided on forums unless those discussions take place under very controlled circumstances (like in a specific forum for this kind of discussions, that's also heavily moderated).

Political and religious views vary a great deal between ethnical groups as well as individuals, and are therefore one of the most contributing factors to flame wars.

At the moment it's not against the forum rules to discuss neither politics nor religion, however, I do disencourage people from doing so.

[ToshiMaru]

sorry then, didnt realize it was that big of a deal, i personally dont get offended much by political or religious stuff on the net. On another topic, has anyone seen the Fantastic 4 movie? Whats your thoughts on it?

[Sanctus]

Hussein has been captured a loooong time ago, like at least two or three years ago. As far as main cause of war, who knows, probably oil reasons, political, and a backlash from 9-11 attacks, to try to get those responsible.

Woah, all this time im thinking Bush just wanted to get back at Saddam for him trying to assasinate his Father 10 years ago. Least thats what I read and seen. Plus 9/11 had ntohing to do w/ Saddam though. Leas I don't think so, thats Osama.

[EDIT] Oh yah, and as for the movie, I didn't know it was out yet, but I think im gonna' watch it as soon as I can, for I have loved allthe marvel movies they came out w/ so far. I loved Batman Begins O.o

[KazeKuroi]

Saw it last night. I liked it but it was the normal cliche of a Comic book turning movie.

[Kiros]

I dont really see movies anymore, so i couldnt say. But there is one movie i really wanna see when it comes out. >.> Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Because Tim Burton produced this version and Jonny Depp is the main character. Sounds very interesting

[Trin]

Saw it last night. I liked it but it was the normal cliche of a Comic book turning movie.

I've really got to disagree with you on that one. There was this amazing basis reality, and the compelling urge to explain everything in the long standing Batman mythos that I think is missing from a lot of comic book movies. A lot of the time, many of the ideosyncracies of the superhero movie genre are explained away with the simple "that's just the way superheroes are."

Batman Begins was different, though. We get a worthwhile and believable explanation behind the suit, the batcave, even the batmobile. None of it seems odd and unrealistic, because we get ample motivation for a lot of the otherwise abnormal things that makes Batman what he is today.

[Sanctus]

Yes, that's probaly another reason why I liked it so much. It gave incredible insight on his past and how he became the "Batman" and why. From the title it seems like that. I prolly wouldve never watched it if it was just another one of those other Batman movies just re-made :eek: I just mayb would have watched it if it was another sequel because I always want to see how they turn out.

[ToshiMaru]

Batman Begins was a great movie; especially the Ninja Army :cough: Bakemono:cough:, but, most of the people that i know that is a Batman Fan, says that it wasnt really along with the original story. Oh well, still a great movie.

One thing that i am really liking about the comic book movies, is that, before production; the teams do some research and add realistic science to the powers and their backgrounds. Thats one of the things that interests me the most.

[Sanctus]

And how about that Scarecrow guy? That was really freaky. I remember he was a real villain in the Batman comics and would do the exact same thing.

[ToshiMaru]

The scarecrow guy...ehehehehehe, he looks so girly. was that place he owned Arkam Asylum? or some other place? One thing that got me, i remebered in the comics and cartoon, Raz was white. When i saw than jap guy in the movie, i was like ??????, but then later, they revealed the truth.

especially the Ninja Army :cough: Bakemono:cough:.

interesting, now i am aware of the intentions of your clan. ^_^

[ToshiMaru]

not specifically like that, different motives, just cool looking like them :-p

[Sanctus]

Soooooo what sports are you guys in to? Personally I don't play them I used to but not anymore. I like to watch basketball for some reason tho!

[ToshiMaru]

i like sports, but just not really into devoting myself to them. if i play them, i play them, if i dont, i dont. my favorite would have to be volleyball.

[Kiros]

Vollyball is pretty fun, I kinda like soccor? (weird)

[moses]

AHAHAH. i love most sports. for teams ive played lacrosse, soccer, baseball, roller hockey (this one got me the most girls), and ... for fun ive played football, basketball and volleyball (we really get into it in my family) on top of these.

[Hiromi]

Roller hockey is pretty much the coolest sport ever.

I don't play any sports. Except um... fridge to chair racing, extreme walking, and..speed channel changing. Addicted to the UFC though :chairshot:

[moses]

ya one of my dads close friends that i know one the UFC one year :). My dad and uncle have also helped/trianed ppl in it.

[Hiromi]

It's pretty nuts. Well, really nuts. One of my friends teaches judo at one of the local gyms, he's obsessed with it. Taught me all sorts of submission moves. I'm the queen of arm bars :flex:

And my ex-boyfriend used to work out with this guy:
http://www.musclefx.com/guests/person.php/636/0/0/267 Nice guy for being a steroid head o.0

[Kiros]

Some people just dont know when to quite when it comes to muscles, it just becomes gross after a while :barf:

[Hiromi]

Amen! Yeah that guy is..well..creepy. Looks like one of those shrunken-head things. Remember beetlejuice?!

He's 6'6" too...

[Sicarius]

I take a martial art called Hapmudo, check it out! www.hapmudo.net

[Slots]

i stab things for fun...

[Hiromi]

Hapmudo...sounds cool. I'd never heard of it until now.

*hides kitchen knives from slots*

[Sicarius]

Its a ton of fun ^_^ I love it, it has given a new meaning to my life.

[Kiros]

Could you elaberate on how its changed your life? It sounds... interesting and at the same time corney. :shrug:

[ShininShado]

Neato man, I like the Tai Chi stuff, that's interesting.

[Sanctus]

Martial arts! Cool, never tried that but I joined boxing this summer! (Last Month) And I love it!

[ShininShado]

The cook at the Japanese restuarant me and my wife went to tonight was all about some Tai Kwon Do, he was awesome, hehe. Said he was 4th degree black belt, don't know. Cooked good shrimp.

[Kuzukago]

I used to take both iaido and tai chi, though unfortunately i've had to let them go (a lot of it because of school when i was still there, and partially due to my own laziness). I can attest to the "life-changing" statement, especially in the case of iaido; it was something that really can just fill you with a sense of peace, among other things.

I suggest to anyone if they have a chance to study under a respectable master, to go for it. My sensei was a wonderful man.

[KazeKuroi]

I practice no martial arts... Who's dying of heat stroke? It's too damn hot where I am at right now.

[Kuzukago]

Who's dying of heat stroke? It's too damn hot where I am at right now.

I am. Well, so long as i'm downstairs; my bedroom is like a meat locker.

[KazeKuroi]

I am upset. The news lies, they tell the world we are lower temperatures, then what our Time and Temperature says (118 on the phone here.) It says we got to 118*f and news says its only 115 outside. Who in the hell is going to be torrists in las vegas when it's that hot. It bugs me, they should just say the truth.

[Kuzukago]

115? I'd probably go crazy and pull my skin off. I don't even want to imagine how it is. If it's 70 i think that's too warm.

[Hiromi]

Bahh I'd probably go one step farther and just kill myself. I've got no air conditioning in my car, and 90 for me is unbearable - 118 would be nuts.

[ShininShado]

Is 95ish here with 100% humidity, making it feel like 110-115, humidity is horrid.

[KazeKuroi]

Dry heat sucks worse then humidity. Of course you get the annoying blanket of water, but when you sweat in dry heat, heh, what sweat? Your body doesn't have the ability to cool it self down. Your instantly stripped of all that is wet. The air even feels hot take a step outside and you feel like you stuck your self in a oven.

[Sicarius]

Must suck, i like the cold, i love taking a nice cold shower, though it sucks when yer......err balls shrivel up in the cold, hahahha!

[KazeKuroi]

Well, fortunatly enough I don't have to worry about that.

[ToshiMaru]

:( its getting extrememly hot over here too, i cant go oustside without carrying my mini-AC with me.

[Chronor]

SUP ALL. Well I'm back from my trip to an Navajo Reservation and i'd have to say ...Dry Heat SUX! You are deprived from all water. (in fact all week i never sweat one bit and all my pores are clogged with dust)

However, humidity is annoying more than hot. It's like your in a broiler and your clothes never want to let go.

[ShininShado]

I've been in Arizona heat at 110 degrees, no problemo, 90+ with bad humidity is horrible. Not to say 110 degrees is pleasant, but compared to the humid weather isn't a different type of heat. I prefer the cold weather anyhow, under 80 and I'm set.

[KazeKuroi]

We are talking near 120s not 110s. Lake Havasu is the worst by far, It has a significant amount of humitidy and gets over 120 every year. And shinin, come spend a summer over here, We are over the 100s when the sun is down. You will see a significant difference. When I worked at the torrist hot spots, Lets just say New Yorkers, ect complained bout our heat. They never thought Dry heat could be worse then humidity on a warm day.


Current temperature, 12:42 am pst 102 degrees.

[ShininShado]

I spent several weeks in Arizona in my teens, the heat was so bad I got nosebleeds, but I'd take that heat any day to the humidity of here, maybe everyone feels differently about it though. It'd be the difference between scorching and like broiling I guessing, I'll choose chilling.

[KazeKuroi]

the nose bleeds werent from the heat. Your membranes dry out over here. Happens to all those who are not used to dry air, and low elevations.

To each their own. But I surely love those days in the middle of the summer when we get 60% humidity and the air feels so good. It gets to like 96. But I can't live somewhere cold, I don't like snow.

[Sicarius]

[KazeKuroi]

Everybody's gotta gamble at the casino's and loose all their money at least once in their life. You're invited too~

[Chronor]

You know what. I've been to an Indian Casino on the Navajo Reservation near Fort Defiance for some mission work. (aka: it's where i've been for the past week...for those who care) And it really can destroy a place. The owners get rich while the poor get hooked on gambling...I feel good i got to help out people by painting and ect.

[Sicarius]

aye.......<3 Kaze! lol :-p, yea....

[Sanctus]

Weather. Lol I dont really care if its hot or cold. I'm used to it all.

Lol, we are talking bout gambling now not weather. =p

You know the sad thing is, I lived here in Las Vegas all of my life and well, I don't even know how to play poker. =(
