What a wonderfully attractive PROBATION!!!

Why does this get probation while the image of Ed Wood doesn't?

Will THIS v get me probation too?

Maybe there could be a "reveal post" button kind of like the setup for ignored users. This way the text could remain greyed out for banned users, making it easy to skip over them, but if someone felt the need to read what they said they could simply click the little button.

You will. It is just the way this place works. Kind of a law of nature.

This thread is now about AMERICAN CULTURE INVADING THE WORLD!!!... ?

REJECTED!

Thread is still open!

What the hell? That would have been a great topic! We could post amusing things like THIS:

or this:

or this:

But ultimately, ignoring them is not always the most entertaining path to take.

At first I thought this thread was kind of dumb, but now I see it was kind of a fun idea. I hereby nominate Fink as OT.com's official chronicler. Feel free to add it to your description you cultist wacko.

EDIT: Of minor note, does anyone else find the greyed out text for banned members to be really annoying and hard to read? I like the idea of pointing out that they have been banned, but you really have to strain to read them, or highlight the text to make it easier.

Ughh Mc Donalds...

QFT!!!

The worst part is the way it has invaded the rest of the word! For a while there, it seemed impossible to get away from McDonald's no matter what country you went to. I've been stuck in the states for a couple of years now, so I haven't seen it for myself, but I heard McDonald's and other American brands are dwindling in number throughout Europe and other parts of the world. I sure hope so. I love my country, but I don't want feel like it is following me around no matter where I go; and annoyingly, that kind of defines the United States, no matter how far you travel it is always just a few yard away.

As for cream and sugar in coffee likened to steak sauce or mustard on a sandwich, I'd liken it more to someone dipping fine chocolates in ketchup. That is fine if that is what someone likes, but to me it still seems tragic to allow that wonderful taste of chocolate to be overwhelmed and cheapened by something like ketchup. I like to eat my steaks without sauce for the same reason, and I feel a sandwich is like a salad or soup, it is intended to be a mixture of many flavors. Of course, everyone has their own tastes.

EDIT:

Whoa! Didn't realize the topic changed! Uh, hooray for boobies? Has that topic been approved by Fink yet? Somehow I have a feeling it won't be... so... uh...

This thread is now about AMERICAN CULTURE INVADING THE WORLD!!!... ?

 let me just clarify here, we're not talking wimpy american coffee, the kind you drink in those big ass mugs, wich we call here "dirty hot water" (what's the deal with all the peppermint and spices and shit?)...

I've no idea what you're going on about "peppermints and spices and shit", I have never seen anyone in America put any of those three ingredients in their coffee before. I guess at places like Starbucks and other coffee shops you can find a wide variety of flavored coffee, but places like that are really more for caffeine junkies than real coffee aficionados, many of the people who drink that kind of stuff are more or less trying to hide the flavor of their coffee.

I use to feel the same way you do about American coffee (my favorite coffee is still the Turkish stuff, but I tend to drink it out of a "big ass" 'merikin coffee mug, and without sugar), but in recent years I have learned to appreciate the American stuff, given the right brand and the right strength of coffee, it can be quite enjoyable. I still, however, have a hard time understanding the appeal of putting cream and sugar in coffee, I just don't get it. 

Woooohoooos! 3PX now owns his very own Famicom! Another fine piece of history for my future video game museum.

You might go looking else where to solve this mystery. There are plenty of Japanese people on the internet, I am just not sure how many hang around here. I bet if you find some anime forum, you could post an inquiry from them and get a quick answer.

Yes Fink, yes you should.

No, never came out. It was supposed to be a joint project with Sony, but then they changed their mind and released the Sony PlayStation.

Sony didn't change their minds.  Nintendo screwed them over by showing up with their new gf, Phillips, at a con instead.  Well, hell hath no fury like a Sony scorned, so they showed the world by making the PlayStation.

That isn't the story I heard! I seem to recall reading about Nintendo coming home to find Sony on its knees preforming lude acts on two well endowed men of color... or something like that...

No, I think FF is going to be even more surprised when he discovers what is left of Mr. Anderson/MacGyver after the polar bear had his way with him.

After yelling obscenities at the seemingly downed polar bear, Christian Bale in his Batman costume precedes (hehe) to turn and walk away, only to be pounced and mauled to death by a polar bear that is now really angry about having been stuck by a bat tranquilizer, which, having been designed to sedate an animal that weights only a couple of pounds had absolutely no effect on the large beast.

Phew, keeping freaking super heroes and other ridiculous characters from other words of fiction from walking out of the airplane wreckage is a LOT of work! That plane had to have had the oddest passenger list of all time.

Okay, now Christian Bale in a Batman costume shows up? This is just getting too ridiculous. As for a swiss army knife, dude, even if I had a nice high powered pistol loaded with hollow points, I'd rather not find myself face to face with a polar bear. MacGyver, or even the strongest man on earth would be lucky if he could get a swiss army knife to even break through the bears skin before it mauls him to death.

Suddenly, a Polar bear comes darting out of the woods and knocks Rambo's head off with one stroke of his paw before he even has a chance to respond, then the bear quickly gobbles down the fallen Vet's torso. MacGyver, thinking fast whips a paper clip out of his pocket and prepares to incompacitate the bear with it, only the bear moves too quickly, bites off the hand holding the paper clip, rips the man's trousers off with his teeth, and proceeds to hump him until he dies of internal bleeding while the rest of the castaways stare on in shocked horror.

This whole turn of events brings the castaway named C3PX to exclaim, "Holy shit! I sure wish we hadn't driven that Ferris guy to run off into the woods by himself by insisting he throw his guns into the ocean."

Maybe I'll give up my membership in the W. Bush fan club for Lent.  

Phew, for a minute there I didn't think you got my joke. I dunno Warb, that might be a really hard thing to give up.

That's what the toploader is for...

Or just buy a cheap new connector for your regular system and it will work as good as new. I got mine off ebay for $7 bucks shipped, if I remember right. 5 minutes of work to install it, and now it is just like owning a brand new system. The new part is made out of better matterial, so it shouldn't bend and corrode like the old one, which is what caused the need for blowing...

bkev said:

Man, the original Metroid is HARD.

No, no, only HARD in you mind. If a young 3PX can beat it over and over, then so can you.

Honestly, the hardest part is at the very beginning before you collect all your gear. Just take it slow and steady for the first bit, until you collect a few health and weapon upgrades. You can say the exact same thing for Zelda, it is hardest at the start when you have only three hearts and a sword, but once you collect a few upgrades, things get easier (as in, not dying ever two seconds, not lacking challenge).

Good luck, Babar.

I am a sugar addict too, but I have never been the type to pour the stuff into my coffee or tea. What is the point in drinking something if you are just going to try to cover up the flavor? I think both tea and coffee each have a wonderful taste of their own.

I have finally decided what I am going to give up for Lent!

I am going to give up,

-soda/pop/soft drinks

-watching televised sports

-and anime

It is going to be a tough forty days, but I think I can handle it...

Warb, don't apologize to Fink for thread hijacking! That is like apologizing to an expert bank robber for stealing his wallet-- DUDE! A cloud of smoke just zipped out of the forest and sucked up Indiana Jones, Ranger Walker, and that other guy, spitting them back out as shredded fleshy messes in the tree branched above us!

Ferris, I've got a question.   We arrived on the island via a crashed plane correct?   How'd you get your guns past the metal detectors?   Airport security takes a dim few of people trying brings guns onto airplanes.

 

Someone took a dim few of me once... it kind of sucked. But, airlines don't dim few on all folks with guns. Maybe Ferris is an air marshal? Not to mention there is always your checked luggage. There are probably more guns on the planes you have been on than you'd ever realized.

Om my goodness! This poor Fink guy, he has lost so much blood he is looking yellow, and now he is rambling on about politics threads, and he is still on about the internet and popcorn. Poor guy, must not have had much of a life back in the real world if that is all he can think about now as he lies bleeding out on the sand. If only I could figure out where Ferris has stashed all his guns, I'd consider putting the poor bastard out of his misery... but only because it is such a dire situation. Guns are really, really, evil.

what good are the guns going to do you?   you expecting to run into criminals or terrorists here?

You gonna chase your food down? Cause I ain't.

I take it Warb has never watched Lost, because there quite literally are both of those things on the island.

Ferris, guns are bad, plane and simple. We don't want those evil killing machines on our new deserted island home. Since we have decided our new, hopefully, temporary government is going to be a democracy, we have called a vote and decided that you are going to have to throw all those things into the ocean. If you are not willing to do it yourself, we will just have to force you to (we've got these sweet sharpened stick we made for hunting bore). There is no constitution to protect horrible weapons here!

Poor Xhonzi and Fink, their wounds are pretty bad, and they both keep talking nonsense about popcorn and the internet. Hopefully rescue comes soon, not sure how much longer they can last like this.
