[X] My Assistant

[Wolfie]

These places get destroyed awful fast by you rowdy people...

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!!!

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://chorrol.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=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.

I went to bed at approx. 5Am. Then got up at 8:30AM, so I could get my mom & dad's pensions [cash - don't ask, we don't use credit cards, barbariun country]. Promptly passed out when I got back from the cue at the postal office [where they have a savings account] and slept, with some weird dreams too, up to 12:00. I think I'll need more coffee.

Depression is so overrated, what you meant to say was that you will engage in Mortal Kombat with said girlfriend. That would be, simply amazing.

[milanius]

Whuh, who is engaging who's girlfiend in MK?
And yes, that would be smashing, much like Alatriste. Man oh man, WHAT A MOVIE.

MMM... a real chocolate malt.

Working on a project for AP English Lit.... yeah, it's boring, but I haveta do it. It's a personal brochure, and I just think it sucks.

The assignment, I mean. No one really cares who I am (well, around where I live at least), and I well, uhh, don't really care to do such a project.

Wow, Alatriste looks good, Milanius. I added it to my Save list with Netflix. Apparently it isn't available for rental yet. D2rnation .. I am still waiting for the third Pirates of Caribbean to come up at Netflix. If it isn't by Labor Day I'm gonna be seriously vexed, saavy??

Zarr, make up stuff for your personal brochure. Did they say you have to tell the truth. Just make the first clause about you that "I am a furious liar" .. should work from there.

[The Metal Mallet]

Well I am a happy lad tonight. UFC 74 was on tonight and I was 7 out of 9 for my picks, 5 for 5 for the main card fights. I'm very happy Canadians Georges St.Pierre, Patrick Cote won their fights. Not to mention Randy Couture absolutely dominated a person 14 years younger than him; it was absolutely crazy to see that.

Now I can't wait until the free event showing in two weeks. "Rampage" Jackson versus Dan Henderson; should be pretty epic.

Wait.

You get to do a "HOW AWESOME I AM" project on 50 pages and you hate it?
If you don't want to, I can do the assignment for you...


Ibis, that movie was a bit pompous at times [like anything spanish, really], but it was awesome, if not a bit too bloody at times. And, it has Vigo.

...
I wish I could skip tomorrow and just go to the day after it. Luckily, it's only 24 hours.

You're right. I should pull a Maddox, make it about how awesome I am and if you disagree, you are wrong!

It will be chock full of pure, concentrated awesomeness. Yay me!

Didn't do much today. Besides Calc homework (mondo easy) and Guitar Hero.

I had a good day. I handed out sticky notes during lunch to the people I sit with and chaos ensued. The reason I gave 'em sticky notes? So we could tag the emo kids during lunch.

Don't want to go to Spanish II tomorrow. <_<

[Lord Revan]

Well, I brought up Mass Effect and Halo 3 in an earlier coffee shop, but got favorable responses for neither. Well, now that their almost complete in terms of development and their shipping soon, I'll bring them up again.

Bungie has confirmed these features for Halo 3-

-playbacks of multiplayer battles and campiegn missions (from all player's prospectives, and any angle).
-the return of the assualt rifle and the flamethrower.
-the existance of two new grenades (you can hold all four kinds, but only two each).
- four player co-op mode for campiegn
-unprecedented AI sophistication (i.e: "Brute Pack behavior" and Scarab battle)
-new UNSC ATV, "troop carrier" version of the Warthog, and Brute ghost
-wieldable turrets (rip them off of their emplacements and rampage with them
-different armor designs for use in multiplayer

[I'm probably missing two or three]
But I'll post a link to Mass Effect.com.

Btw, The Last Legion and Bourne Ultimatum were great movies!

[Priest of Sithis]

Troubling, a new problem has arose in the Priest's world;

MOTHER'S BIRTHDAY!

The tension is killing me! If i get her something cheap, she'll think she's cheap and hell will ensue. It I go lavish, she'll get mad at me for wasting my money!

Help....

BTW....She's 49

[Lord Revan]

*Thumps Priest on the back* Well, man, it was nice knowing you, see you on the other side.

[Zarrexaij]

Well, you could be a little more precise with things she likes.

[Lord Revan]

Well, define lavish..... Normally, my dad and I just give my mom a happy birthday card each, Mom never gets mad.

[The Metal Mallet]

I usually give my mother something craft related. Like a big, scented candle or one of those little statues with animals trying to act like people or something.

[milanius]

My parents are awesome. They tell me straight away "please, DON'T buy me anything for birthday!", so I get them new underwear or deodorants/aftershave and they're fine.

[Ibis]

I paint a homemade card with watercolors for my Dad, and he loves it; no matter how good or bad it actually looks. lol

This year I was way out of practice due to the fact that there's been an incessant drip from the air conditioner duct which is directly over my art area (the landlord fixed it now.) But I painted a rendition of our pool by the lake with me swimming in it and Cain as lifeguard under an umbrella chair .. and he loved it.

It was quite babyish but he termed it ultra-modern style. tahaha! (parents = we've really got them wrapped around our little fingers, don't we?)

[milanius]

Rest o' the day was a slightly moderate disaster. I'll just say we have to call our plumber again tomorrow, since he screwed up today.

In other news, my hands now smell of pig blood and no amount of rinsing with soap can help. Me, paps and my uncle chopped up 3 little piggies he [uncle] slaughtered earlier today into quarters. One pig is for us, 2 are for someone else. Not particularly pleasant job, but someone has to do it.

[Zarrexaij]

Why is it that the people who would make the worst parents always are parents?
