The lil' Coffee House, Open 24/7, even on Holidays Options

[Rane]

The next one.

Last Thread

This is meant to be a place where you can talk about anything without having to stay on topic. Feel free to ask questions, to talk about the things in your life you like to share with your fellow-members. Or just step inside for a while, have a coffe and a good chat!
You may feel free to post whatever you like as long as it is within the rules of the forum.
But if the conversation degrades to spam, you will be treated as though you are spamming anywhere else on the forum. This is a thread where you can relax and talk about personal things, but it is not to be used as an excuse to make pointless posts.
Please help to keep this alive and well and a place where we can meet and share.
Enjoy your stay here!!!

And the rules:

We had intended the coffee shop to be a nice place where people could talk about their daily activities and such, kinda like the Lurkers Lair on the Official Forums.
It didn't quite turn out that way though, people have been taking advantage of their freedoms in here, there has been a lot of spamming and even some flaming. We will not tolerate that any longer.
So unfortunately we've had to decide to increase the rules for this thread. Of course the normal forum rules still apply, but we'll elaborate here.:
1. No spamming.
We consider double posting and posting posts with only a few words to be spam. If you do that your post will be deleter or moved, do it too often and you might receive a warning for it.
We also consider chit-chat spam. This forum has a special chat channel for chatting, you're welcome to go there, and chat with other members or with the staff as we're always there, doing it in here is not allowed.
The address to that chatroom is:
W4O chat
And for assistence to use a chat like this, I recommend looking over this thread:
http://forums.waiting4oblivion.com/viewtopic.php?t=248
Or contacting one of the Administrators.
2. No discussion of accounts or warnings.
There shall be no more discussion about members, about accounts, about how many warnings you've gotten or anything like that.
3. No trolling.
No posting of random nonsense, no posting of irrelevant things, no posting the same thing over and over just to get it noticed, no swearing or flaming.
4. No religion or politics.
No discussion about religion or politics is to be had in these threads. If you want to discuss religion or politics, please do make another thread, or if another such thread already exists, please post in it.
If you have a question about the rules of the forums, feel free to ask it to either a Global Moderator or an Administrator.
If you're unsure if something is fit to post here, it might be. Again best to ask a Global Moderator or Administrator.
If you're wondering how we think a Lair or the Coffee Shop should look like, what we do allow, then I recommend taking a look at the Lurkers Lair at the Official Forums.

Don't got much to add and I'm in quite the hurry now. Places to see, people to annoy and so on.

[milanius]

Is it just me or over the last month has the Daily Show gotten twice as funny as before? Did they hire some new writers or something?



I've noticed that too. I thought the interview with Brian Williams was pretty funny. (Was that last night?) But no matter how funny the Daily Show gets, The Colbert Report will always be funnier.

"Quote"

even though colbert report is just a copy of the daily show i think it is still a little bit funnier, i think the reason being is becuz all of the segmants they have like the word, know a distirct and tip of the hat wag of the finger.

[DoomedOne]

Ibis, it's really a matter of preference. With either one you can order a bunch of premium channels, and it all sort of depends on the company, and what the company offers. Cable companies *say* satellite TV goes out because of everything like wind and stuff, but it's not really true. It'll go out because of like... a thunderstorm or a hurricane or something but that's about it.

Oh right... you live in Florida.

I don't watch Letterman or Leno so Ik don't know how to compare, but it's not a talk show, it's a news parody, like in the beginning of those talk shows they do current events, well their monologues ain't got nothing on what the daily show does for a half hour. They even play funny graphics to make fun of the expensive graphics the big news corporations use. They sort of... keep it real, same with the Colbert Report, they keep it real after the media tries to paint a picture a certain way, they use humor to sort of.... reveal the little man behind the curtain.

King, I couldn't stop laughing the first time I saw the word, but once was enough, the idea is sort of over for me. Better know a district if funny about half the time. The best part of Stephen Colbert was when he was acting as host for that press corps and went out as his character, I never saw a funny show bomb so hard, it was like a black comedian making fun of white people in front of the KKK. He was freaking hysterical.

[Ramirez]

I have 2 more episodes of Lost to watch before I'm up to date with everything. I have absolutely no idea what is going on.

Also I still don't have a job yet. Got a couple more rejections... have applied for over 20 now I think but I really have lost count of how many applications I have done to be honest.

[1234king]

what type of job r u looking for ramirez

[Ibis]

Wow -- yet another lil coffeeshop has sprung up in the neighborhood. Chorrol is just such a happenin' city! Pushing open the paned glass front door and scanning the interior, Ibis swoops down into a comfy chair at Milanius' table. Why such a gloomy expression? Oh .. I know what will cheeer you, Minque will be back here in Chorrol tomorrow! But since she isn't here right now, please tell my your sad story .. you can confide in me for now, k?

Oh and you and Rane are equally irritating, I must say. Hmmmm,, if I were going to vote on most highly irritating ... I'd have to say ... let me think ... PISCES!! Teehehe I can say that now with impunity since the boards are so slow; & apparently a snow blizzard has engulfed New Zealand and our fish is lost in a mountaintop lodge surrounded by desperate snow bunnies. Will he survive? See the next installment if he ever sends an email again ... but it's looking grim folks.

============

Awwwwe --- *BIG HUGGS* to {{{Ramirez}}} ... without rumpling his job hunting clothes.

Hang in there, Ramirez. I know for sure that finding a job is a 150% harder job than having a job. I was like that in New Jersey when I was in my 20's. I had done years of restaurant work since age 16 but wanted to work in an office, without any secretarial training behind me.
I applied at so many companies that I started to feel like I was interviewing them. I'd done so much preliminary research into so many prospective companies that I started telling them about each other. The closest I ever got to secretarial work was for a temporary agency while still cocktail waitressing at night and then went into the Air Force ... where being trained in Supplies solved my lack of experience/schooling problems.
I did get some interesting offers while doing the job rounds though because this was way back when woman's lib was demanding equal employment for females ... so I was offered some breakthrough training in "mens" fields. One of the best was working out on the telephone lines (which I refused because I thought they were right under the power lines and I'm deathly afraid of electricity.) My hubby regretfully tells me now that by this time I'd be making almost what plumbers make an hour if I'd been a linewoman for the phone company. (Think of the espionage work I could've done! haaha)
So anyway, don't turn down any offers that might seem a bit out of your field or interests. keep an open mind.

===========

Doomy,
Thanks for the good info. Yeh ... Florida is very susceptible to thunderstorms and the occassional summer of back-to-back hurricanes. Are you saying that they are the exact same channels and shows on either one? I guess cable is looking better then ... specially since we already have roadrunner for computers.

How is Oblivion going King? How far have you gotten, guess these are Oblivion forum questions. Have you purchased any of the Xbox official mods yet?

[DoomedOne]

I'm remembering my dreams really well these days, they're becoming like movies. Thewy're getting really epic, too. Last night I had a dream I was an illegal immigrant, and my brother and I were climbing this gigantic wall into the united states with millions of other people (of mixed races, it was sort of futuristc) and this weird monster jumped up and started killing people. It was exhilerating.

[The Metal Mallet]

Sounds like the future to me If genetics is researched really heavily... Imagine the insane possibilities.... maybe that's not such a good thing, especially with the monster making...

[Ibis]

Ohhh Doomed .... let's make a dream thread so we can discuss this more fully!

How is everyone else this fine day? Wonder when Minque will return? Well, she probably has alot to do after returning from vacation = jetsetting around Europe.

[The Metal Mallet]

It is quite a beautiful day, perfect for the fact that I get the house to myself this weekend! Though I'm not looking forward to the probably boring 3 hours of work lying ahead for me, ohwell. It will still be an excellent day.

And I solve some damn itch that I got listening to song, it sounded vaguely familiar to something and it took until me waking up in the morning to realise what other band that song sounded like. But I got it!

[jack cloudy]

My dreams are always freaking hilarious. They're usually with quite a bit of futuristic elements in them. You won't believe how often I've been chased by aliens in my dreams. Best part is, if they get too tough and scary, I just switched to 'dream-control' and show them that hunting a kid in his dreamworld is a BAD IDEA. With some practice, I'm basically god when I'm dreaming. I love it!

And my day is going fine. We had some rain again like usual, a thunderstorm and a good meal.

[Ibis]

Well Mallet, don't you get to spend your boring working hours with us online at Chorrol. I think at least I remember you saying that you used to... & having the house all to yourself all weekend will be fun. Are you going to throw a block party? (like my crazy sisters, thinking that they could sneak a block party over on my parents and the neighbors would never ahhhh mention it?? )

And my day is going fine. We had some rain again like usual, a thunderstorm and a good meal

Hmmm, Jack Cloudy has a fine day when it is rainy and thundery. Jack, do you use an umbrella in the sunshine to preserve your cloud over your head intact???

[jack cloudy]

No, I use 'Eersen weathercontrol system'. It includes a digital watch and the factory guarantees that it won't blow up in my face. Before it is activated.

The fine thing is that I didn't had to go out of my house while it was raining and thundering.

[Ibis]

Ahahah...that sounds like a fine weather control system. Since it guarentees not to blow up in your face it will never blow the cloud away. lol

[The Metal Mallet]

Your correct Ibis, in fact, I'm enjoying the Chorrol experience at work right now!

And while I'm not having a block party, I do plan on having a few friends over. My brothers did one before at my house earlier this year and it was insane, about 100 people crammed into my house like sardines. Big mess afterwards, don't wanna have an experience like that again, at least, not at my house

Fortunately I was able to make my parents think there was only 30 people there instead of 100.

[Ibis]

teeheehee ... good one Mallet. My sisters - not so lucky. Neighbors were having trouble parking in a 3 or 4 block radius from our house all weekend and made sure to thank our parents when they got home. Let me see, I think Alice Cooper and his snake were forbidden in our house for a week as a severe punishment. lolol

As a precautionary method, I'd have your friends leave their cell phones home or check them in at the door when they enter so the party doesn't inadvertantly swellll by the end of the weekend.

[The Metal Mallet]

That's so true, that's exactly what happened at my brother's party, all their "popular" friends called up their friends on their cellphones to come. We had people we've never met before there! One of the broke a quilt rack that me and my cousin had to glue back together. Shhhh! My parents don't know about that!

[Dantrag]

Well, I got that Circuit City job. I am a Product Specialist. It sounds way more awesome than it is.

and I have to take a bunch of online classes about identifying shoplifters (I thought of you, DoomedOne ) dealing with customers, and knowing the products.

[The Metal Mallet]

Congratulations Dantrag! Hopefully you won't be too busy not to stop by Chorrol from time to time!

Sure the work might not be tooo special, but it's work right? You're getting moolah, so that's a thing to be happy about.
