Duff

Vehicles just aren't my thing. Wasn't a huge fan of Cars 1, and I probably won't go out of my way to see Cars 2. Pixar is amazing, though. I don't think I've ever gotten sad at an animated movie the way I got sad in Wall-E. And Up was just funny as hell. EDIT: I think the music in Wall-E was pretty rad, too. Oh, and to correct myself, it was more of a good sad kinda feeling, like when Wall-E survives that pod blast and they come running to each other (him using the fire extinguisher).

My first topic in OT. I felt like I had waited long enough to be 'allowed' to post a topic. So, as the topic says (maybe it's unclear), this thread is for all your Childhood/Womanhood/Manhood memories and/or stories that you would like to share with everyone. I'm thinking many of them will be funny, heartwarming, or just plain memorable. But hey, if you want to share a story in your life that is sad or tragic, I'm sure we'll all be glad to comfort you. Heck, if anything, we'll listen. It'd be rude for me not to post first, so, here goes it! I had started playing parks and recreation baseball (maybe at age 9 or 10), but it was player-pitch (no machine). And I thought it'd be fun to try out pitching, so I asked my little sister to come practice with me out in the back yard. I was using a tennis ball because I didn't have a baseball. She got down in the catcher's position and I started throwing tennis balls at her. Most of them went all over the place, but a few landed in her glove. And then, I threw one especially hard, and she didn't get her glove up just in time, and it smacked her right in the forhead. The funny part about it is that it hit her forhead at an angle so that it bounced (it made a distinct pop sound, like the sound you hear in wii tennis matches when you hit the ball with the racket) straight up in the air about 15 ft. Meanwhile, she fell straight back on her butt, and it was probably one of the funniest things I've ever seen. She wasn't hurt, and we both just laughed really hard. Guess you had to be there. Post on! :thumbup:

You don't even want to know how I got my nickname at school. Took place over probably 3 days, and involved my friends progressing through probably 7 different names (one of them being Julie).

I figured, as much as I like her, it might look weird to my friends. So, I'm going for something more close to my childhood. Bought the necessary grip tape yesterday. $10. Was a good deal, I think. 50" of 10" wide Jessup. I'll be happy to finally have a 'project' to do. Still thinking about the design, so I won't be tracing to the back of the grip tape for a while. Who knows, though. I might get too excited and just do it.

Ohhh yuuuuuup. Now that's something to brag about. :thumbup:

I'm not related to anyone famous or someone with crazy talent. My family is pretty 'normal,' I guess. I have friends who have famous relatives/are famous themselves. I plan to change that! I'll be president of the world! End to poverty, war, disease! My kids'll be soo proud.

Hah, Standard, I know what you mean. Some links that get sent to your wall, if you click on them just cause you're curious, immediately join you to the group. That's why I always, when I click a link, check back on my own news feed and make sure I'm not posting that stupid spam link myself. Also, it's just come to my mind, but what are the rules on calling people their previous name/new name? I prefer to be called Duff, even though my original name (for a short while) was Feldegast. But for the older forum users, maybe they prefer to be called their old name despite having a changed name. It's kinda like Runescape, where I prefer to be called my original name (at least those who knew me back when I had it) as opposed to my current display name. Standard reminded me, because I still call him Standard even though he is Surprise right now... And I'm always unsure which to call him.

Since I can't finish one, I don't even start one. Plus, I go through extensive measures to save water. Don't start getting on my back about not caring about the poor, because I do. Plus, soda is unhealthy, so it would only dehydrate those kids who don't have anything to drink. Stop attacking me for something so many people in the world do as well. ... :P Did I do good, master? :-D

For sure. Unfortunately, when my mom makes bacon for breakfast during the weekend, I'm stuck with cleaning the pans, which is awful.

I find that it's usually used as a last resort, but with some people's logics, is hard to argue against. "I think *such and such*" "Yeah? Well *person* disagrees! And he knows it better than you, therefore you're wrong" I don't entirely see what's wrong with this. Academic writing is filled with direct quotes, and that exactly their purpose: to share the ideas of someone else who is very learned in the subject, and therefore has ideas that should be taken into consideration in said debate/piece. And it's TIF. People who spend a ton of time researching answers (there aren't too many, I myself don't :P) likely won't spend even more time paraphrasing it all, especially if the direct quote gets their point across perfectly. And consider who their audience is and the setting. This isn't a formal setting at all. Just my two cents.

Second to last day of work. I'm so happy it's almost over. Found out my older sister is getting me my own [nice] TV for my going away to college [for the second year] gift. It's going to be a 22", but that's better than nothing. I've gotta start saving up for my $340 Dervish. -sigh-

Is it the fact that you've never climaxed during sex embarrassing, or is it the fact that you can't climax because of the condom? If it's the latter, I don't see what's embarrassing about it. You should straight up tell the girl ahead of time, because if she cared about how you feel during sex, she'd do something about it. Not your fault that she's making you wear something that you don't get pleasure out of. If it's the first, I don't know why anyone else has to know about that little tidbit. If no one else knows, it shouldn't be embarrassing; if the chicks know, it's their fault you haven't cause their the ones making you wear one.

I love this kind of humor, haha. Just those subtle little jokes. Mine usually involve my relatives and incest...

Bacon is amazing... You have a point. I give them pigs some credit. :P I love breakfast.

Breakfast ham isn't too bad. But regular ham, like the stuff you have on Easter, isn't my cup of tea. I also don't like the ham lunch meat. I like turkey much better.

I think it's pretty creepy. Makes me think of a Yugioh character.

Thanks! I don't have photoshop, but I just figured out how to do it using IrfanView ('negative').

Duff, we are very sarcastic and crack a lot of jokes. If you *think* they might not be serious, then they aren't. Lol, newbies. :razz: I'm trying my hardest. :oops: Bought 50 inches of 10 inch wide grip tape for my longboard. Looking for a neat design (non-geometric) for the grip tape. So far, I've come up with this stencil: Think I may add some of Calvin's furniture, just so the board isn't so empty. EDIT:

[hide][/hide] Gaming mode->on (Settings->Gaming mode->on) Edit: Wrong image. I never knew that. Nice. Doesn't matter now, though, cause I got rid of avast.

So for some reason I can't find out how to invert a black and white image. To put it simply, I want all the white to be black and all the black to be white. I've searched Paint for this 'Invert Image' option but I'm on Windows 7, and paint is weird on it. So, can anyone do that to this image for me (I'd appreciate an explanation of how you did it so I don't have to come back here every time I need it done). Thanks!

I couldn't tell if you knew or not... And I couldn't tell if you really meant thanks. D:

Great! Sounds like a fair response to both her and myself. Thanks a lot. :thumbup:

You have to be in full screen mode for the lady not to scream atcha. Which sucks because I don't want that lady talking ever, full screen mode or not!

I dunno if you know, but the actual phrase is "couldn't care less."
