starcraft?
you're my hero. im gonna grab it today. pppwnage.
Starcraft and Vodka, or Starcraft and beer? :D
I could probably actually play you... I'm just not very good any more.
I found it funny, as I just found out you had Starcraft looking through your gallery.
Dmitry: Yeah, heh, only I'm not nearly as good at it as Derek or Matthew; they play it like friggin' clockwork.
Some days I wonder why we rarely play anything else, but then I admit to myself that Starcraft remains the single most networkable strategy game to date and that the gameplay has not been affected by newer systems. Well, some WinXP SP stuff can make things difficult, but my point still stands: Starcraft is rock-solid.
Tom: That was actually the after-party, so that was just Starcraft and pop. ;)
So, you completely missed my attempt at humor, eh?
Oh, and you know how you said that 'Violators will be violated and haxor'd'?
Yes! I'm a master of missing humour. ;)
"Humour Missing: $200 Reward"
AHAHAHAHA, oooh man, this is friggin' awesome, thanks! I am so linking to that!
:D Neat.
Anyways... One of you said in one of your albums that 'Starcraft and beer = good, starcraft and vodka = bad.'
Humor found. Where's my money?
Oh, jeez, you don't expect me to remember what I wrote in some obscure photo album a year ago, do you?
Mhumm, no, you don't get any money. If it was a matter of me missing something humorous, maybe I'd give you some silver igens, the non-existent currency of the now non-existent nation of Igenpogia. The panda bears weep for you!
Fine then... Go to nationstates, make a nation, and find out what '200 Igenpogian silver igens' are in dollars, and send me that... :D That way, your national animal, the panda bear, doesn't have to weep. You may go here to see...
;p Just proving it is all possible... :D
Oh, and really don't pay me. If ya do, you are weeeeird.
This doesn't make any sense. Igenpogia has been dead for months. Unless I ask Carinthe to petition to bring it back to Lazarus (which I won't), the number will be completely arbitrary, no?
Anyways, Igenpogia's national animal is actually not the panda bear but the nocturnal igenpog. The panda bears build shit and fight our wars, basically. Well, fought our wars, since we are no more.
No, I wasn't going to, anyways. If I had the cash, I'd buy me some booze and, well, get shitfaced. ;)
Oh, whatever... :p
I didn't even know you actually ever had a nation, to be honost. I though you were just saying that off your head. Oh well.
Still, bow down to my nation's power. I said bow-down, damn it! I'll chuck books at you...;p
Tch. Canadian dollars are worth a tad bit more than my 'silver slips'.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. "Honost" or not, it existed. Those damn pretty graphs almost make me wish it were back...but not quite, heh.
I think you should be worried more about American dollars (not in relation to Canadian dollars, but to, say, the Euro, or even the GBP). You guys screwed up one of the world's most powerful currencies. Tsk tsk. ;)
Well, at least I'll probably, and hopefully, never be the cause of future problems.
Oh, and I spend more money on my 'Defence,' or Military, then the US... About .398 trillion more, that is. That's my nation's expenditures, (in USD) minus the US Military expenditures...
5.65 trillion (mine) divided by 2.0653 (exchange rate) equals 2.735680046 (mine in USD) minus 2.338 Trillion (US Budget)
Wait a second... I think that when I googled US military budget it gave me the total budget. Is my army worth more than the US? ;p
Well, then, Mr. President, may I suggest you find a cause to start a war on America, shall we say under the pretense of them manufacturing Weapons of Mass Destruction? ;)
Ahh, that is a good idea, my foreign advisor... ;p I'll amass the forces...
Do you think I should use the (Generic National Guard) first?
:D
Mhumm. Start with the battle animals. First, send some dolphins in, with nuclear warheads strapped onto them.
Hmm... Okay then, let's begin! I'll tell a general to get the 'Sharks with frigg'n lazer beams attatched to their heads' ready.
Aye aye, captain! ;)
The dolphins are ready, the foot troops are in the Advanced Theater Transports, and the 'SWFLBATH's' (Sharks With Frigg'n Lazer Beams Attatchted to Their Heads) are going to move in after the dolphins launch their attack. The foot troops will land, take an airbase, and the sharks will clear any left over harbors that will help us strategically.
"Fight for good reason." ~Silvershot motto... ;p
Theatre? What, are they attacking with hand puppets mounted on their feet?! Sharks with two heads - now that's an idea! The foot troops will land, start their puppet shows, and the sharks will execute the main attack.
"Will fight for food." – Sharks With Friggin' Laser Beams Attached to Their Heads
No, no, Generalissimo Miguelo F. D. XVII. In Advanced Theater Transports, the 'theater' is war. You know, 'the theater of war' a la WWII- German Theater, etc.
Also, in an important announcement, "The word 'theater' looks, and sounds, very stupid."
Oh, god, I was just trying to be funny, AHAHAHA. I know, I know.
Does it? I spell it "theatre"; it's much better that way.
I know, I'm trying to be an 'educata-malizer' if you know what I mean.
It looks better spelled as 'theatre,' but where I live, that means it is spelled wrong. It still sounds stupid, unless you pronounce it as 'thee-tree'.
Yeah, yeah, we all do.
Well, that's the British-Canadian way. Who the hell pronounces it like "thee tree" anyways, though?!
I think it should be pronounced as "the atre," hehehe.
Maybe, I don't know.
We'll beat it out of you. ;)
Don't be talkin' to Bullshit like that!
No, no, Bullshit started talking to him first, you see.
Ok, I understand Pain.
(You know, we're really spamming... Oh noes.)
Yeah, you don't understand Pain, until it's in the Arsehole.
(Spamming whom, me? It's all good. Just don't spam my poetry pages with BS. I like the commentary there to be reserved for responses to the poetry itself.)
As someone probably once said, we must provide 'Euthenasia for Youth-in-Asia...'
Sorry, it just sounded cool.
(Yea, I guess you are right. It's up to you anyways.)
Gah. At least "spelk" it right: "euthanasia." Anyways: lame; let's move on. How is the war on Ammriq going?
Well, it is going ok. We've seen little resistance so far. This comes as a bit of a surprise.
Damn. I didn't try to misspell 'euthanasia'... :'(
I think their army is all in Iraq... ;)
I think it's the work of the evil Spelking [sic] Monkeys.
Oh, it looks like we've captured Rhode Island. It'll make a good city. I mean, come on? How is it more than one city?
I don't know what the hell you are talking about, but I suggest we blow it up ASAP and move into D.C. immediately, populating all government buildings with talking monkeys.
In a related matter: How many man keys could many monkeys man if monkeys could man man keys?
Meh...
*Nuclear launch detected*
Happy?
Oh, and the answer to the latter part of your post is... seven, I believe.
Well, yes.
Man. This is eerily reminiscent of my recent conversation with Boon.
Anyways, good answer. Now let's eat cake.
Yea, sounds good.
Did you happen to hear about the YTMND's users attacking eBaums World? I thought of it as laughable, considering Neil Bauman, the cheif vice president, used the term 'LOL' in his (sarcsm='well written') Cease and Desist letter.
He didn't even state exactly what he wanted to stop!
Mhumm. No, no, I don't have any information regarding this, I'm afraid.
YTMND are those funny animation people, right? What the hell is eBaum's World? One of those crappy pages with allegedly funny stuff?
Questions:
a) What form did the "attack" take?
b) Who or what motivated the attack?
c) What beef can the former site have with the latter in general?
d) Who the hell is Neil Bauman?
e) What is the function of the "LOL" remark in all of this?
f) What is the function of the Cease and Desist letter in all of this?
Directions:
• Answer the questions above with complete sentences, paying close attention to grammar and "spelking."
• Summarise all your answers in one concise paragraph. Points will be deducted for unnecessary garrulity.
• Show your work.
The attack consisted of attempted hacks, insults, and spamming of the forums. Some of YTMND's users went as far as to vandalize the eBaums HQ building, in the real world. The attack was motivated by limitless accounts of eBaums World taking works without asking. In other words, stealing. One of the .GIFs from YTMND was stolen, titled 'LindsayLohansFacialExpression' or something. It was about how her facial expression never changes in pictures. That last sentance also works as the beef. In general, most other large sites, such as Newgrounds, and Miniclip, do not like eBaums, either. It is usually the users, honostly. Neil Bauman is the creator of the site's dad, and Executive Vice President of eBaums World Inc. The 'LOL' was placed after he insulted one or more of the users in a single sentance, to indicate loud laughter. The e-mail that contained it was supposed to be an official cease and desist letter, however, the 50 year old man acted as a 13 year old. The cease and desist letter was aimed to stop the users' attacks. Also, the letter contained a remark I found in bad taste, used to insult the creator of YTMND's religion, Judaism. He used the phrase 'Obviously you have lost possession of your Yiddish cup.' which was used in a negative way.
It seemed as though Neil was more of the baby in this, though he told Max, the creator of YTMND to grow up and act mature, and all of that jazz. I don't support these attacks, and the users should be banned. I also don't support content stealing.
Wow. How...stupid. Well (aside from spelking [sic] "honestly" with an "e") I don't know who to support in this strange, strange conflict.
A cursory glance at reports of the controversy surrounding eBaum's world (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebaum%27s_World#Controversy), it seems that the website is another den of low-lives (read: an Internet "portal" trying to make money from original content they have found elsewhere).
While the nature of the Internet and Internet culture stems from the complete transparency and interchangeability of media (hell, you can even steal this page's HTML code and use it as your own), to make money from rebranding original content is despicable to me.
Even though I don't even have banner ads, and though I don't make a penny from this blog, I never watermark original images with my logo, only images that I made.
Oh snap! I keep doing that. I'm seriously not trying that. Honestly... HONESTLY!
There! ^__________^
I think you misspelked [sic] "Chief" as well. ;)
I'm concentrating on my CLA, and I made that post. Oh well... I obviously need to watch myself.
'The chief saw the guard steal the steel shield.'
I already forgot what the hell a CLA is... Candy Licking Assholes? Calibrated Linear Analyser? Cocks Laminated in Aluminum?
Wait, what chief? What guard? What steel shield? Are you melting down my tanks again?!
No, I was attempting to spell each of the words that commonly have the inner vowels rearanged.
Common Lab Assessment.
(Contaminated Loafer in the Ass)
Loafer being one of those crazie slippers, of course.
Man. I think you just blew my mind.
I thought they were called "flip-flops" in Ammriq. ;)
I was looking for the word transposed. The letters 'i and e' are commonly transposed, as are 'u and a' in guard, etc.
Loafers just worked better fer that, Mr. Asses.
That's a nice word. I have much newfound respect for you, sir. Though I still don't know whutcha talkin' 'bout, foo'!
I pity the foo' who don't know what this foo' is talkin' about.
All those golden chains will probably give you some sort of bling cancer.
Shut up, grunt. All of your 'common name-play' will give you a brain tumor! Hah! Beat that logicless sack of words!
Well, ah say, ah say, "logicless sack of words" will certainly be hard to bear, sir.
What, sir, would you say if I called you a gelatinous trans-Atlantic terra cota bandolier of hermeneutically syllabified legs of crab in crème à la semiotic correlative?
I would say... Pie.
Pie are squared?
Indeed. Pie ARE squared.
Very nice. I was expecting sound, though.
There... There was sound. Are you in anyways, perhaps drunk?
I wish. Ad blocking program. And he said: "Let there be sound!" And there was sound. And he heard that the sound was good,
Wow. 60 posts. Is this the most you had yet?
Oh, and the other day, I found out what mig81 looked like in 2001, or when you first got it.
It was all black, blue and white, and stuff.
Whoa, whoa, how'd you find that out? Is there some cool thing I don't know about?
I actually got the domain name circa 1998-1999, I think, from a company called Namezero (it still exists now). Believe it or not, they used to offer domain names for free (well, with a banner ad frame or other some such thing that you could remove easily). I then transferred it around a few times, went through three design incarnations...
This entire thing used to run off my Windows box, you know. ;) Heh, I had Apache, PHP, MySQL and Movable Type all installed locally. And before that, prior to 1998, before I hand-made all my websites, I'd make my pages in FrontPage, and they'd only show right in IE (but no one used anything but IE, heh).
Ahh, those were good times (not really, heh; I'm just being nostalgic). Jesus, has it been half a decade already? Man.
It is thanks to the Wayback Machine!
It shows copies of 'em how they looked years ago.
Well, you evolved. It usually takes time. :D
Well, yeah, only it never works for me, i.e. it never loads the pages. Send me a link to the earliest one you found.
It takes a long time.
Duh! I was too impatient and assumed there was nothing there. Good stuff!
Yup.
Hopefully my name'll be in red(link) soon, Mike. I have a little bit(work) to go yet.
You mean on your website?
Yep, the
I'm watching the on youTube. Boondocks. This episode is rather interesting. It takes place in an alternate reality, where Martin Luther King Jr. was in put into comatose for 30 years, instead of dying, when he was shot.
It's controversial, but, it makes a bit of a point.
I don't usually watch the show either, but someone said it made a good point, and all.
When I said 'Yep the...' I meant to say:
Yep, the website.
When I said 'watching the ... on youTube'
I meant to say:
watching the Boondocks on youTube.
AHAHAHAHA, quick work! You pre-empted my questions regarding how I, too, can watch "the." ;)
You still cannot put someone "into comatose," but "into a coma"; "comatose" is an adjective.
At any rate, I once saw an alternate-reality video where MLK meets Malcolm X and they have a chat. What is "Boondocks" usually about, though?
Damn. I missed that. I was thinking, in my mind, that I was typing 'into a comatose state' or something along that lines.
I think what I committed in that comment was 'mass grammatical homicide.' I'm like a 'cereal killer' (purposefully) that targets spelling, and grammar... :( Especially on teh intarweb.
To answer your question... I don't honestly know. I saw one where 'gramps' was dating a 'ho' that was afraid of pimps. :D
Oh, and Mike... It's my turn now.
PUT A DAMN SPACE IN BETWEEN 'questions' and 'regarding' so that it becomes 'questions regarding' instead of being 'questionsregarding.'
MUAHAHAHAHAHA :D
AHAHA You got me! ;)
Bah. Teh Globel Interweb [sic] is OK with this sort of stuff. mig81.com, on the other hand, is an insane dictatorship.
Man...you've got to be a little more specific. What kind of "ho" was it, the one that is a "ho" professionally or recreationally? Because if it was the former case, she should be pretty used to pimps. I also don't see how it would be a problem...unless the "gramps" is some sort of pimp. These things need to be cleared up.
Well, she was just a 'ho.' She wasn't afraid, per se. She didn't want to get taken away from 'gramps' by her pimp, as gramps is rich.
Well, wouldn't the fact that he is rich be in her favour? He could protect her...
Well, she ended up running away, because she didn't want a job, and wanted to be a ho again. She chased after her pimp, who was driving away in his car.
AHAHAHA! Sounds like something straight out of Shakespeare. ;)
Ho- To be a ho, o' not be a ho... Dat's da question...
Ho- Dayumn! I wanna be a ho! Pimp name Silva-Cane, wait!
*Ho runs fast in high heals at pimp's car*
-End scene
*applause*
Bravo! Encore! Tom Stoppard (Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, 15-Minute Hamlet) would be proud.
Put this in a little iambic pentametre, and you're all set to fabricate a "lost" Shakespeare play:
"To be a ho, or ho to not be - that
The question is. Dayumn! I wanna be
A ho, a simple lady of the street,
For 'ho' by any other name would sound
As sweet. O, Silva-Cane!" She screameth from
Afar, "Wait thou for me!" and runneth to his car.
Well, I sort of botched the heroic couplet, but you get the idea. ;)
P.S. "High heels." ;)
DAMN! How do I miss that? Hell, something is wrong. I may have a serious case of brain rot, or something... Heh.
Nice poem, indeed, props are given.
I think it's fin rot. AHAHAHA.
At any rate, danke; props are taken.
