Trillian the IM client?

If so, invisible mode lets you log in but not be seen by your buddy list.

Yeah.

That's pretty cool. I am trying to avoid some people right now so this is very convenient for me.

[Adam Witt]

Yeah.

That's pretty cool. I am trying to avoid some people right now so this is very convenient for me.

The board also has it. It's pretty damn beautiful, at times.

[(akaRyanHoffman)]

How does it compare visually to Charles Vess's art?

it doesn't.

Which probably explains why there never seems to be anyone on :)

[Blandy vs Terrorism]

Speaking of avoiding people, Stupid Bitch pmed me the other day to say hi, even though she said in the pm that she knew I wouldn't answer back.

I had a girl IM me last night that basically said "I wish I knew what I did that make you hate me so much".

I promptly ignored it and put the laptop in a chair facing away from me.

[Ziolko]

Good evening!

[mattbrand]

Evening fellers.

[Ziolko]

How're things, Matt?

[WillieLee]

Now the laptop is wondering what it did to make you hate it so much.

[sleep]

Holy shit, Breaking Bad is tremendous.

Seriously though, fuck Weeds. Breaking Bad has done more in the pilot episode than Weeds has in its first two seasons.

I'm looking forward to catching this. Thanks for the heads up.

(I could never muster the energy to watch Weeds season three.)

[mattbrand]

How're things, Matt?

Nice man. Just finished some RE Umbrella Chronicles with a friend of mine.

[mattbrand]

How's tings with you Scott?

[Raphael J]

I'm looking forward to catching this. Thanks for the heads up.

I own season one and I could barely muster the energy to watch season two.

And I loved Mary Louise Parker too.

I only watched the pilot. And I love herb/weed.

This is awesome:

Not as well as the tangs, I'm afraid. Seems like they're a hit with the astronauts. The tings just collect dust on the shelf.

[WillieLee]

Stupid Laptop.:mad:

[WillieLee]

My DVR failed to record The Wire even though I checked it this morning to ensure it was set. Thankfully, there is a place where you can acquire the episode. I don't feel like waiting for the 6am replay. :shifty:

[mattbrand]

Damn tings. I should've sold my stock back in '62.

[WillieLee]

If it weren't for Facebook I would have forgotten how popular chain letters are amongst certain groups of people.

[Ziolko]

Damn tings. I should've sold my stock back in '62.

Tell me about it. Between these and the complete collapse of the rubber nipple market Emma's college fund has suddenly gone kaput.

Man, and you diversified your portfolio so well!

I thought the RN market was going to stay highly competitive. I don't think anyone saw the Huxter/Shwornhiggle buyout five years ago. Now all I have are interesting ways to decorate the living room.

Well, you must admit they are the best in home decor.

Lego Star Wars Complete Trilogy is really really fun.

[Raphael J]

I only watched the pilot. And I love herb/weed.

My last experience getting high was terrible. I smoked too much too fast and it all went downhill pretty quickly. We were watching Flight of the Conchords and I got super sleepy, to the point where the back of my head felt like a ten pound weight. I kept thinking that there was no way I was getting home and that the couch wasn't big enough for me to sleep on. And I kept brushing my tongue over my teeth and thinking that I needed to brush as soon as I got home.

It was fucked up.

[Raphael J]

Stupid Laptop.:mad:

It's a monster!

Weird man. I've definitely had some weird experiences like that, but back when I first started puffing in high school maybe?

[Blandy vs Terrorism]

I had a girl IM me last night that basically said "I wish I knew what I did that make you hate me so much".

Gotten those types of messages from her plenty of times, though I've already told her the problems I've had with her in no uncertain terms.

I'm just glad yahoo doesn't make the alert noise on my computer (lack of any sound) when someone pms me, just because of her.

[Raphael J]

Weird man. I've definitely had some weird experiences like that, but back when I first started puffing in high school maybe?

Well, this was only the third time I'd ever smoked, so I was/am a pretty big lightweight when it comes to that.

See, I never explained it. I just stopped talking to her one day. A dick thing to do, sure, but in no way worse than what she did to me.

I just don't know if I should ever bother talking to her again.

[Ziolko]

Lego Star Wars Complete Trilogy is really really fun.

I've got the first one. Some time I need to go get the second one as well. I'm actually looking forward to Lego Batman.

[Blandy vs Terrorism]

Laptop (or Desktop here) is like that annoying friend that keeps telling her to talk to you because one day you'll come around.

Fucking Desktop.

The Complete Trilogy is the way to go, 'cause it's got the first and second all in one, with all kinds of extras.

And Lego Batman...me too. And Lego Indy is going to ROCK!

[Blandy vs Terrorism]

I know what I shoulda done. The one time we "did the deed", I shoulda just stuck it in Stupid Bitch's ass right then. Sure, she'd have been pissed (maybe in) but it would have saved me much trouble later.

[Raphael J]

D00D U R A N00B.

[SimiBoyz]

The board also has it. It's pretty damn beautiful, at times.

I've never found any possible need to use it on the board. I can't think of situation where I would want to use it.


Also reports of minor flooding coming in from around the region. Train services suspended and schools closed. Unfortunately the fire station is staying open and I have to w--k.

Plus I dropped my ring in the toilet this morning while doing procedure 1. Nice start to the day.

[SimiBoyz]

Just got the salvage rod on Zelda and improved my ship with the first two ship parts collected. An ace red and black number now. just done the get the symbol on the map thing so will be on my way there after collecting all treasure. Fantastic game, even if it is only a Zelda Windwalker-lite.

This DS really is a fantastic machine. Just need to get wifi now.

[Angel]

i just started playing god of war, since i had $20 to blow, and it's really fun so far. i'm at the temple of pandora and i'm trying to build the wall to get hera's necklace.

[SimiBoyz]

Not played the first God Of War but the second one is awsomely epic.

[amy]

Good morning.


Time for my Monday morning nap.

Good night.

[AutumnHeart]

Mornin' all.

[Blandy vs Terrorism]

Hey Nicole.

Time to go to work, since I dunno how traffic is gonna be at this time. Plus, it may snow later. Yay.

Probably won't be able to get online, so have a good day, kids.

[SimiBoyz]

Interesting. But would you really eat one? Maybe leave it out for the dog.....


http://www.buttfoods.co.uk/bread-bowls.php


What is a Bread Bowl?
A fresh piece of Bread in the shape of a bowl that is sturdy enough to hold soup, curry or chilli, yet soft enough to eat.
What's so special about the Bread Bowl?
Convenient - Microwaves in 40 seconds from frozen

Diverse - Available in 4 flavours: Italian Ciabatta, Mediterranean Herb, Plain, Wholemeal

Versatile - The Bread Bowl can be eaten with any meal occasion - from breakfast, lunch through to dinner

[AutumnHeart]

Interesting. But would you really eat one? Maybe leave it out for the dog.....


http://www.buttfoods.co.uk/bread-bowls.php

What? Seriously? These things are delicious. Especially filled with chili or cream soup. After you eat most of the soup you rip them apart and scoop out what's left and Arrghgaghgghrrh:drool:

On my own part I think, leaving out the fact that I don't eat much at all and the main constituant of the meal would be enough for me, there'd be too much bread to eat it all. Sure, just a bit of it but i'm thinking (without having tried one) "toooooo much bread"

Again, that's probably my aversion to food volume talking.

Again, that's probably my aversion to food volume talking.

There are certain foods I can eat in ridiculous quantities, and others that I can only eat a little. Marc laughs at how much I'll leave behind on the plate, sometimes. I usually can't eat an entire bread bowl, but the kind you get in a restaurant (or make yourself) really don't contain THAT much soup. Usually just enough to make ripping the bowl apart really satisfying.

The one in the picture almost looks like a "cookie bowl", like the ones you get ice cream in, sometimes -- way more soup than bowl.

I'm so sure everyone else is fascinated by my in-depth scrutiny into the delightful world of bread bowls.

[Ryan_ZOOM_Turner]

I want a new job.

[AutumnHeart]

One that won't hurt your head? One that won't cost too much, or...

[Ryan_ZOOM_Turner]

Hmmm, the one I was picturing was absolutely massive and with no scale on the photo to w--k with I just imagined big. I suppose if it's a more managable size, I can see that now and can imagine it being quite good.

This I will put down to being "monday brain functionality deficient" or something like that. :grin:

They opened with "Limelight" and closed with "Tom Sawyer". Inbetween - no hits at all.
Deadsy did a kickass version of "Tom Sawyer" on one of the Family Something-something tours...I have a CD with that on there and it :rock:s


John Cusack's resume (http://imdb.com/name/nm0000131/) is sooooo shameful, I think. I mean, I love High Fidelity and Grosse Point Blank, but that's about it. There's not much I'd ever wanna re-watch.
Not even Better Off Dead? I love that damn movie!


Man, whatever happened to Image's Next Issue Project? I'm achin' for Mike Allred's Stardust!
Still coming out. I saw something about it last week on the Imageboards.


Oh, and I guess enough time has passed to say that I got Blandied out of the secret Santa thing. :?


do we know who the culprit is?
That sucks, man. I hope you find out the deal. Maybe we can all call out who we got and what we got to shame the person into submission!!


Speaking of avoiding people, Stupid Bitch pmed me the other day to say hi, even though she said in the pm that she knew I wouldn't answer back.
I had a stupid bitch do the same thing once. Being snarky back to them is awesome!


guh. i really wish I could call out from w00k today.
Me too, but I'm here already so I guess it's too late.


MORNING FOLKS!

Nah...trades don't get numbers. This is the new story.

[JABSEN]

Back

[AutumnHeart]

Nah...trades don't get numbers. This is the new story.

Actually, it looks like it's a compilation of all their concept art. They're working on the trade now -- no new story arc yet.

Seriously, this guy keeps masturbating what a great freakin' comic he puts out. I wish he'd just hurry up and put it out already.

[Marc Lombardi]

See also: Con Air and Pushing Tin.
Never saw Pushing Tin (at least I don't remember it if I did). And Con Air seems more like a Nic Cage movie than a John Cusack movie. Also, the more I think of it, even the worst of his 80s comedies seem to have rewatchability. "Summer Camp"...wasn;t that one of them? With Bobcat Goldthwait, where he has to race the boat at the end? And what's the one where he has the girlfriend who gets kidnapped and he goes to Jamaica?

[Marc Lombardi]

Seriously, this guy keeps masturbating. I wish he'd just hurry up and put out already.
:mistrust:

[JABSEN]

I was looking thru the Iron & The Maiden site. Dumb name but the art looks good. Who is that?

[JABSEN]

Francis Manapulyeah he's damn good. Maybe he's busy with Legion. I see the writer is Jason Rubin from Naughty Dog. Interesting.

[Blandy vs Terrorism]

There's a comic shop near work (Hot Comics) that I may take a peek at after I get off.

[Blandy vs Terrorism]

Oh yeah. I forgot TIP is off work today.

Damn Whale Timer.

[JABSEN]

Oh yeah. I forgot TIP is off work today.

Damn Whale Timer.Oh so he's sleeping in.

[Blandy vs Terrorism]

Oh so he's sleeping in.

I shoulda called and woken him up before I left the house.

[Lyfeforce]

Me too. I'm still hoping that by some miracle the guy I'm covering for today will find a ride here.

I'd offer, but you'd have to wait while i got there.

[Blandy vs Terrorism]

I'd offer, but you'd have to wait while i got there.

I'm willing to do that.

[AutumnHeart]

yeah he's damn good. Maybe he's busy with Legion. I see the writer is Jason Rubin from Naughty Dog. Interesting.

It's a great title, I love it. A little bit rushed, but I think once he starts up on the next arc it will pace a little bit better. Assuming it starts.

[Blandy vs Terrorism]

In addition to Sunshine, I also watched Sudden Death last night. It was just okay, as far as Van Damme movies go. No women to look at in the movie, either.

[AutumnHeart]

As long as it's not when he does that creepy "full split" thing, where you see his ass crack in full relief.

I actually don't remember the plot. I think that was it.

[Blandy vs Terrorism]

Here's what you look for in a Van Damme movie, and these are the only things they should be judged by:

1. Flying Spin Kick
2. Otherwise decent action scenes, preferably against someone who can actually do some fight choreography
3. Cheesy one-liners
4. Something pretty to look at
5. An at least halfway decent plot to hold a little interest when the above four aren't going on

No.It has Powers Boothe, right?

Stern did a review of one of his movies last year and it was one of the funniest things I've heard. He apparently has two minutes to stop a nuke from going off but still finds time to have a knife fight instead of just shooting a guy. Not to mention that he's sixty pounds overweight but still playing the Elite Special Forces role.

Well that explains why they would leave a deep fryer turned on. I mean, that half second to shut everything off could be the difference between life and death.

[Blandy vs Terrorism]

Nope... just Lionheart.

LIONHEEAAAART!


I want to see some of Seagal's more recent "I'm a Buddhist who wears funny jackets" movies. Does he still break at least one arm per fight?

Which brings me to the post I was going to make before I went to go do stuff.

Lionheart had maybe one or two more memorable moments than Seagal did in that movie where he was an eskimo.

[Blandy vs Terrorism]

Blandy's not being nice to me anymore:sad:

I was nice to you for like two posts. Now I'm here on my weekend, so all bets are off.

[Blandy vs Terrorism]

He's very serious about Van Damme.

Van Damme = Serious Business

[Blandy vs Terrorism]

Saw SHOOT 'EM UP this weekend..

Insanely over the top, ridiculous scenarios, but imaginative.

Movie of the year.

[Cth]

Van Damme = Serious Business

V For Vandammetta is a film that NEEDS to be made.

You are correct. Even though you have better options just starting out using the "create-a-class" option, it's still a good while before you get anything that'll really help you.

[JABSEN]

You are correct. Even though you have better options just starting out using the "create-a-class" option, it's still a good while before you get anything that'll really help you.You rented? How long do you have it? we can get a pretty good TIPsters match. Kyle just got it.

Call Of Duty 4 is pretty rad. It really freaked me out, thinking of young soldiers actually having to do that stuff.

Tip shamed me into ordering 1000+ more Mylars to get my specialest books out from the boxes and onto my bookshelves. Yeesh! $379 bucks!! And it takes 7 - 10 days for them to even ship 'em out!

But I love my Mylar'ed books. They look great, and I can get at them easy.

[Marc Lombardi]

Me too. Fuck the Giants.
I hate both teams and will be watching apathetically.

The only worse Superbowl for me would have been Pats/Cowboys.

[Artie Pink]

I don't like sports, but man - I'm glad the Packers hype will be over for a while now. You have no idea what it's like.

The news was ALL Packers for 22 minutes, then oh -- it's -8 with a wind chill of -20 and some cars crashed and the freeway's closed and now here's six more minutes of THE PACK!

[JABSEN]

Its has nothing to do with hating the Giants. It's more about annoying the guy with the asterisk avatar.

Dunno if I'll be watching yet.

[Artie Pink]

Well, yeah. This time of year, that IS the news for you guys. The rest of the time, it's the weather.


I really dunno - I get most of my news off the Internet. But it makes me sick in the middle of primaries and a deadly cold snap that it's ALL PACK for 22 minutes of "news". I had no idea we were getting 6-10" of snow today, for example, but I know Deanna Favre's recipe for chili!

[AutumnHeart]

Is that what you call alcohol?

Oh, there will be that too.

[Lyfeforce]

Is that what you call alcohol?

no... AH actually rocks the appetizers. And they're damn good'uns too.

[AAlgar]

Do people still just watch the Super Bowl for the commercials? What a racket.

[Artie Pink]

Also! I added some old timey back issues to my Midtown order last week, just to give them a try.

They didn't slow down my order one bit, and I was impressed with their grading and price. I got some circa-1971 Marvels in really nice shape for $5 bucks each!

[Artie Pink]

Do people still just watch the Super Bowl for the commercials? What a racket.

I really don't get it at all. Reality shows either. It makes me cringe to hear people arguing all the time.

[Cth]

I'm not a sports guy at all, but I don't mind a good football game every now and again. I'd consider tuning in for a bit just to see what all the fooferah is about the Patriots, honestly.

But commercials? People actually anticipate being told to buy things? How the hell did this happen?

Ha, yeah.

I also don't have a TiVo. There just ain't enough on that I'd want to catch. If I miss something, I download it. The Office, South Park, Daily Show/Colbert... That's about it.

[JABSEN]

Comcast's DVR does stink. My current Dish Network one is pretty good.

[AAlgar]

Amazing Spider-Man was great.

I was a little disappointed so far. I'm willing to stick around and see where it all goes, but I was expecting bigger laughs from Slott.

[JABSEN]

Gone for a bit.

[AAlgar]

I almost got DVR when I got my new setup, but then shied away for that same reason.

I had to do some cost cutting recently, and the Comcast guy was actually really cool about it. He managed to knock like $30 off my bill and I still got to keep the DVR. So we'll see how that works out.

[Marc Lombardi]

That's the one I'd been betting on until last weekend.
Very rarely do the top two teams from each conference make it to the SB

[Cth]

For me, it's less about the commercials than it's the new movie trailers.

[Marc Lombardi]

Speaking of commercials: There was one last night during the Giants/Packers game for some beer (Bud Light? Miller? Who the hell knows....) where the beer gave the drinker the ability to converse with animals.

All of a sudden his dog goes "Sausage..Sausage......Sausage..Sausage..Sausage... Sausage..Sausage..Sausage..Sausage..Sausage..Sausa ge.Sausage"
I thought Nicole was going to die laughing.
Then the guy says something to squirrell outside the window and is says "Mind your own business."
Damn funny commercial. Looks like the ones for the SuperBowl will be chock full of talking animals and guys in crazy situations. (As usual)

I won't skip it (cuz we usually throw a great party) but I'm so not interested at all in either of the teams participating.

Stupid Favre, stupid OT interception.

It WOULD have been interesting (IMO) if it had been Green Bay facing off against New England in the Super Bowl...but now that it's Eli and the Giants against Baby-Making Brady and the Pats....eh.

I'm still trying to figure this one out: Does saying that you read Watchmen and only thought it was "meh" make you a better comic book fan? I mean, to each their own. Nobody has to like Watchmen (and a lot don't), but don't say you didn't like it and expect some sort of special fandom cookie. That's like me saying I didn't think Citizen Kane was a good movie and expect my opinion about films to be better respected.

Not intentionally. I was just trying to think of a movie that most people regard as "the best" but isn't necessarily liked by everyone.

Heh, just kidding.

Although I had fun counting the number of letters of both films to see if I could black out the letters.. unfortunately, there was one left over letter.
