OOT: Thread Overflow Depository (AKA: The Hijack T
Why did I create this depository? Because I noticed alot of OT threads getting hijacked with O-O-T Posts that started to get confusing. So if you find yourself making an Off-Off-Topic post in another thread, transfer it here. I'll make sure it has a good home.
hmmm, is an Off-Off-Topic Thread actually On-Topic due to the double negative rule? So if this is an O-O-T thread for O-O-T Posts hopefully it will help us get back on track. Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif P.S. This thread is also a good place to pad your Posts to get those precious promotions. hmmm, when is my next promotion? |
Re: OOT: Thread Overflow Depository (AKA: The Hijack This if you Dare Thread.)
Pad my Posts?! NEVER!

Re: OOT: Thread Overflow Depository (AKA: The Hijack This if you Dare Thread.)
Yeah, so just to hijack the thread...
I just got an iPod. It's shiny on the back. It's loading my music right now. It's my precioussss... |
Re: OOT: Thread Overflow Depository (AKA: The Hijack This if you Dare Thread.)
I like shiney things, and things that go 'round and 'round. Shiney things that go 'round and 'round can keep me captivated and happy for great lengths of time.

I got into a heated debate the other day about the Kobe Bryant case with a friend of mine. This man had him already guilty because he is a celebrity, and probably because of the OJ Simpson case. I had to refute this. Not because I think Kobe is not guilty, but probably because I despite generalzation (?). There actually is, based on the information I have managed to dig up, a chance that Kobe actually is not guilty. But I digress, What I am actually trying to point out is, that this man questioned my sources for information! Now I understand that no-one can rely on any single source of information, I believe that any individual newspaper/website/TV news has it's own agenda,and so I don't rely on any individual source!! I read my local paper, I read the New York Times, I have no less than 2 daily news briefs come to my email, and I get several mags monthly that cover this and other kinds of stuff, and I search the web when I am curious about a given subject, but don't feel well enough informed. I like to think that I am well informed because of this. If any of you out there disagree, or if you agree and would like to add to this, please add to this reply, and let me know how to stay more well informed. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif end of hijacked thread http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif Gandalph |
Re: OOT: Thread Overflow Depository (AKA: The Hijack This if you Dare Thread.)
Now for something completely different.
To keep the peace in my home, I got an XBox. Yes, I know a console for games. Hear me out, though. It was that or upgrade my 6 year old PC, which would probably cost 3x what I can afford to spend. That's what I told my wife anyway http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Wildcard |
Re: OOT: Thread Overflow Depository (AKA: The Hijack This if you Dare Thread.)
Since I don't even know who Kobe Bryant is (is he a football player?) I'll start talking about Michael Jackson. There seem to be people who think "oh, he's just eccentric" or "He's a famous rock star, he couldn't possibly be guilty". I for one don't follow this line of reasoning. I have no reason to believe he is guilty (except the police must have evidence to press the case), but I also have no reason to think he is automatically innocent either. If I was forced to choose, and considering I don't have any evidence, I'd say he was guilty. It's an arbitrary opinion, and mostly because I don't buy into the automatically inocent mindset. I can see many books being published in a few years detailing Michael Jacksons fall from grace.

Today is the Last day of my internship, and my friend just got home from Paris. Not only that, but it's System Administrator Appreciation Day. Today is a good day.
The new iPods are supposed to have better batteries. I let it charge overnight, and it has been playing for six hours, and the battery indicator is at about half. Which, if it's right, is on par for a 12 hour battery life. We'll see if it holds up to multiple charges, but the warranty covers battery replacement for a year, then after that it's something like 40$. I'd say it's a good deal. |

kachoo,
I love your NuWarn shipset Ruatha, No, it don't get to me in terms of ego. It gets to me thinking that there are people here probably too imature to be looking at the picture of Pooh Star. I hope thier mommies don't sue me. It is a known fact I have little reguard for most of the teens I have met. Some are pretty nice but... I hae not met many. Still maybe I should travel in different circles and I would meet more. |
Re: OOT: Thread Overflow Depository (AKA: The Hijack This if you Dare Thread.)
I was very dissapointed when they took out the light brown M&Ms. Those were always my Favorites.
A few years back, some friends of mine somehow happenned across a pack of M&Ms that they figured to be a couple years old, and that might have the light brown ones. Best gift from the "three years old and could have been bought at a Seven-Eleven" Category, ever. Why does a place called "M & M Meat Shops" produce confections? |

I just got caught in a rain downpour. I was in the middle of nowhere and got 100% soaked. People were giving me strange looks while I was walking the rest of the way home in the pouring rain. but after the downpour got me there was very little use to seek shelter.
You know walking in the rain was kind of fun. (I must be getting old) Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif |

Yes, I know. The forum scripts that convert text to links were not originally designed to handle php-style function call links, so they occasionally run into problems... I left the post unedited so I could ask the system admins about it...

Ok, so I had a job around San Francisco this summer, and tomorrow I go back to Pennsylvania until school starts in Los Angeles. And there was a pretty decent sized party (about 20 people) at a friend's house, for a number of different occasions which all happened to be this weekend. And I had a bit to drink.
I probably won't be posting for a few weeks, since I'm not trusting my computer to be shipped across country again, and the computer at home is "broken" (I'll see about that when I get there). And there's only dialup. But I should be back before the end of August. That is all. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif |

Re: OOT: Thread Overflow Depository (AKA: The Hijack This if you Dare Thread.)
nooooooo......
*having no choice, Rollo sits in the big chair, wearing a huge straw hat and bathing his feet in cold water. starts to sip on the mead yes, a straw would be fine. and i want an umbrella, too |
Re: OOT: Thread Overflow Depository (AKA: The Hijack This if you Dare Thread.)
hmmm, since Rollo is drinking the mead with a straw, I assume he wants the umbrella to shade the keg and keep the hot sun off of it. (I skillfully attach a group of 5 umbrellas to the keg and add a remote control unit. I hand the unit to rollo so that he can adjust the umbrellas as needed throughout the day.)

My bad, I guess there is no way to 'set' your status to 'Away' in an IRC client. I was getting it mixed up with Messenger.
OTOH it would be possible to use the /nick option to add [Away] to the end of your name, but that's way too much work for most people that frequent IRC chat rooms. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to work on my patience. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif |
