Mexican Coke and Dublin Dr Pepper are good too. My employer went militantly anti-fructose so out fridge at work is now stocked with all three.

1- Uh, so you have elections. That is nice I guess? It's as possible to have a democratic tyranny as it is to have an autocratic utopia. Heck, your example of the BNP is great, it's just as easy for Nazis, or Hamas, or any other atrocious group to rise to power through an evil populace as it is for a good man to be a dictator.

2-

Soak that in for a minute.

Now, that's bad, but it's not that strange.

What is strange is where I found it.

Not failblog.

Not some random internet forum.

On my local news website.


seriously what.

Halo 3: ODST isn't looking so great. It seems to be a four player coop mystery game played out through the exploration of New Mombasa as a rookie ODST who has flashbacks belonging to his team members? It's an odd direction to go in. ODSTs are basically Spartans without all the stuff that makes them Spartans. They can't dual wield, they don't have rechargeable shields, they can't jump high, and they can run very fast. It does seem that they can run and jump while firing their weapons thanks to a moderate amount of aim-assist. Seems like they simply changed a few variables and attempted a new fashion of story-telling.

On a related note, why can't those Covenant drop ships land? Why does everybody have to jump off like that? I bet they'd do a lot better without the instant leg trauma.

I'm mocking your dialect

You know, with the way he types I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't notice.

Soak that in for a minute.

You know, it's not the graphic image that's disturbing me, so much as the whole emphasis on "Easy Prey." Needs more context, that we'll ultimately never have due to it originating from teh failblag.

I just want to know, what, exactly, is checking EP to whom?

I have thick skin, most of the time insults and the like just fly over my head without a single flinch. If I wasn't outnumbered by yanks, I could really go to town with the insults lol not many europeans here to back me up and less about teh typing YM I am dislexic so it makes it harder to make sense sometimes.

The key to survival in this case is bare-faced arrogance, which is why I do so well.

Surfing around I found this article of a teen who trashed a roommates place and tossed a kitten in the oven. Bronx teen confesses to roasting kitten
Honestly, I'm just in shock. How could someone do such acts and rub it off as a joke? Or am I that naive to think people are above senseless acts and reasoning?

Sick....

"Cherry was charged with aggravated cruelty to animals, burglary, arson, reckless endangerment and criminal mischief. She was released to the custody of her mother."

And I thought you had a good justice system over there. Theirs to many fucked up teens in this world, she would have had a custodial sentance here in the UK.

Re: Official bored at work / just shooting the shit / no rails to derail thread

Either you're not understanding the article or I'm not understanding you. She's been charged, but not sentenced. She was released to the custody of her mother to await trial rather than holding her in jail because she's not considered a flight risk. They didn't just shake their finger at her and send her home to mommy.

AN EXPERIMENT IN FEBAISM:

QUESTION: Does Feba's mother like English speed/extreme power metal band DragonForce?

OBSERVATION: Feba's mother has just purchased a new mp3 player. It included some muzak tracks. One of which happened to be a power metal track. Feba's mother happens to like dragons, so Feba mentioned DragonForce, and offered to show an example. After watching less than a minute of a youtube clip, Feba's mother says "They need valium" and walks off.

HYPOTHESIS: Feba's mother does not care for DragonForce.

EXPERIMENT:
Step one: Aquire a copy of Through the Fire and Flames. Convert to mp3 format if necessary.
Step two: Place Through the Fire and Flames on Feba's mother's newly purchased mp3 player.
Step three: Hide it in a Shania Twain album.
Step four: Wait until it is inevitably played.
Step five: If Feba still has a home, DragonForce is presumably tolerable.

I'm far too lazy to find an article, but a local woman was breastfeeding her child while driving a few days ago, and got into an accident, and the child went through the windshield. Luckily for them both, the doctors say the child will make a full recovery, but seriously, why do people risk their children like this?!?! A quick google search found that apparently a lot of women are ticketed for this. If your child is hungry/crying, why not ... OMG ... STOP!?!?!

There is a reason for child safety seats.

OMG Feba, I laughed so hard my stomach ached.

/em goes off to YouTube to see if they really do need Vallium....and hopes her eardrums don't get blown out..

EDIT: Ok watching Through the Fire and the Flames official video.

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmU2R9lTivY"]YouTube - Dragonforce -- Through The Fire And Flames -- (OFFICIAL VIDEO)[/ame]

All the long hair and head whipping took me back to my youth! Seriously reminded me of the 70's! LOL I actually loved the song though and will add that to my MP3 player. GREAT motivational workout song I must say! Any other song suggestions out of their catalog Feba?





...And yes a couple of them could use a dose of Vallium. LOL

Re: Official bored at work / just shooting the shit / no rails to derail thread

Honestly, I'm only really aware of DragonForce as far as their meme range reaches. 'Fury of the Storm' was part of a ytmnd meme, though:

WOAAAAH, WOOOOOOOOAH, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAH!!

Re: Official bored at work / just shooting the shit / no rails to derail thread

LOL It's so old school 70's style music that it cracks me up. Also kind of reminds me of intro music to something like Dragonball Z or something. LOL Thanks Feba for the smile today.
