However, the new movie has raised this site's profile, and we either become a secretive board with arcane rituals for those who wish to join, or weather the crazy wave as best we can.

 If you and the other mods decide to go with the first option, I have the first dozen of chickens ready to slaughter and lots of black candles.

I don't get it, is that all you wanted to convey?

If so, just a basic "don't feed the trolls" would have sufficed. And then maybe start a new, interesting conversation, o long time lurker of these boards.

Besides, some people here are bothered by them, yes, but some people like to have fun messing with the trolls.

To me the internet is like CB radio, you can have mundane conversations or you can scream obscenities to a person sitting miles away from you, it doesn't matter, it's still a fun waste of time.

Anyone here know of a good Pc microphone head set and audio editing program?
Time

Here's my 2 cents: you can obtain decent audio quality with what you already have.

I use something like this:

Mine looks even crappier. You can use the headset mic, provided yours doesn't pick up too much breathing, I used to hate mine for that, it was too sensitive.

Next, the audio level in your pc's mixer. What OS are you using? Depending on that, the settings might change a bit, but basically you wanna make sure your mic has preamp on it (find a level that won't bring too much noise in) and after that you set the rec fader to a point before it goes into red, average minus 5 db. It's supposed to go to red only when you tap it.

Finally, record your audio. Do you use Audacity? You don't need much else. What you wanna do after you record, is normalize it and apply dynamic compression. The built in compression effect is good enough.

I'm gonna make a tutorial for this last section ASAP.

This is a load of bollox.  If you're out and find someone attractive. Have sex. It's fun. 

Sex is natural, sex is good. Not everybody does it. But everybody should. 

 Babies are a natural byproduct of sex.  Babies are good.  They're hard, but can also be fun.  Not everyone has them, but everybody should.

 errr.... really? everybody?

Intro to Film
Time

You got the Orson Welles Paul Masson outtakes in there! What's it supposed to teach? ;)

Maaaaahh the frenschchhh...

BTW, do you think Orson was just screwing around in that one?  I reckon he wasn't drunk at all, and thought,

"They're paying me a good sum for a scene I can do in 10 minutes with my eyes closed. Might as well have some fun with it and waste a few feet of film"

What do you think?

Why are straight cut toenail clippers so darn hard to find? I feel ridiculous running all over town just to find such a mundane item.

I find the rounded edge works for me, but I'd hardly find a difference in using a straight one, because I file all the imperfections off afterwards.

If you need to B*tch about something... this is the place

Yeah, you kill yourself and then what? At the very least, when you're alive, you get to experience boredom... which when viewed from another angle may not be the bad thing it's made out to be. From boredom come ideas.

You left your girlfriend? You *********, at least you had one!! I should kill myself !!

Life's a bitch, lift up your chin, go ahead even if it's meaningless.

Throw rocks at ducks, ride a bike, try woodworking, jerk off in a public restroom...

do something!

(for a fun game, try and guess which one of the above I've never done)
