As you can see, a daisho is displayed together on a stand for both swords + scabbards.

Fuck those facts. It looks much cooler if you wield two wakizashi! :P

Two shorter blades sounds more like a ninja's preferred weaponry, as ninjas use shorter blades than samurai, due to closed-quarter, stealthy means of conducting warfare.

Actually it is my third best result. Second best would be the Mavs winning (mostly because Nowitzi plays there :D ). But Celtics is still great.

Ugh... Mavs.

Of the teams in the playoffs, mine probably went: Rockets > Spurs > Pistons > Celtics

Sauerkraut with Wurst! Tasty!

I've had that, and it is. But the main way most Americans eat sauerkraut (and if you've never had one of these.... and you like sauerkraut.... then you simply must have one at some point) is together with dijon mustard on an all-beef frank in a hotdug bun... i.e. a New York-style hotdog.

Someone once said: "I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?"
A wise man that was. ^^

What about the safety labels that stop other people from being hurt, and not just the person using the product? ;_;

Methinks Bahamut really needs to try out Opera... doesn't he, brutha.

Everyone should use Opera... or at least give it a try.

Amen. But sounds like he already has (given it a try). ;_;

Oh no. :::buries face in hands:::

The Mayan calendar ends in December 2012, that doesn't mean they thought the world would end then. Just means they were waiting to plan further calendar-y-ness till later... and then got wiped out, so they never got to do so. ;_;

You know, I don't follow that Mayan calender thing at all.

.... so then why did you mention December 2012? O_o

If you've heard from some other source that the world will end (or undergo catastrophic change) in that month, then your source was probably inspired by that whole dealie.

Yes, but the axe looks more powerful than the tomahawk, so it being level 37 is reasonable.

Sure, but as plenty of other x level and x+1 level icons show... the next level up isn't always a more powerful weapon. #;-}>

Heh. I'm staying at 2.0xxxxxwhatever.14 till Mozilla posts a few xxxxxxxxx.xx updates to 3.x, so I don't have to suffer through those bugs.

I should have done the same, but I don't feel like reverting back.

Oh well.

I've tried Opera before, but didn't like it. I'm happier with Firefox.

You were happier with Firefox 2 than with Opera... but have you tried the NEW Opera since you got upset by the NEW Firefox, eh?

Well, I wasn't really old enough to appreciate the joy of Star Wars first time around. 1983 was when Return of the Jedi was released, so I really got drawn in the second time around, when they went back to the cinema.

Well, I wasn't old enough to remember seeing the first one in the theatres, as it came out about 1 month before I was born in 1977, but I saw the 2nd and 3rd in theatres, and the original Star Wars on a home-taped VHS (prolly by my mom from HBO when HBO was new back in the early 80s) was one of my first VHS movies.

As for getting drawn in again, the reason for me it was 1993, instead of a few years later like you with the special editions (which I'm glad drew plenty of people back in, and younger people in for the first time... because if it hadn't been for those special editions, The Phantom Menace may well have killed Star Wars forever. ;_;)...

For me it was because of X-Wing, a PC game (think Wing Commander, but better... cause it was Star Wars #;-}>) that came out in 1992 or 1993. It, and its expansion packs and sequel, TIE Fighter, were the reason I first got a sound card and a CD-ROM drive (at first I was playing it on my mom's computer off floppies and without sound). Anyway, the games were awesome, and they got me to read the Timothy Zahn trilogy (three books set years after Return of the Jedi, and probably the greatest holders of a "wishlist for an eventual film sequel trilogy... which since George Lucas has sworn he won't make it... will have to be made by his kids or something" to most fans). And then came TEH INTERNET, which for me started in 1994.

BTW, the hard drive on that computer in 1993 that I first played X-Wing (and other greats like Doom and Syndicate and X-Com) was 80 megs large. The game took up almost 15 megs off a floppy install (CD-ROM version may have kept more stuff on the disc, I can't remember... either way, that's GOT to be a personal record for "highest % of a hard drive taken up by one game" in my 6+ desktop PC history). #;-}>

Man... the things a brain can remember from 15 years ago.

Good Man.

IE8 shouldn't matter to me since I'm not a fan of Internet Explorer. However, this computer might have IE8 installed eventually.

Why?

I have Vista on my new desktop, and it only has IE7, and I only even know that because other programs were opening it at first until I switched the default to Firefox (I had already told Firefox to make itself the default, and then told IE to not ask me to do that, but then I found a place within Control Panel where there were three option circles... one for IE, one for Firefox, and one for Opera, and NONE of them was selected, so apparently my decision hadn't been made "official" for all programs... just for opening .html files and links from SOME programs...

So I fixed it right then and there to do Firefox for everything automatically, I use Opera when I want to, and I don't use IE at all.

Huh? Where you're from in Ireland English is used at a bare minimum? I was under the impression from watching documentaries and so forth that areas of Ireland that even speak Irish at all (let alone primarily) were few and far between...

No you got it, but there's like 0.01% of people in Ireland only speak Irish. English is the language we speak, but not many people have a very good grasp of the language at all. With my mother having to dumb down her language around people here because she's from england

Oh, so you just mean in your area of Ireland, people don't tend to use "dem fancy words" like... "via," apparently. #;-}>

It fascinates a person like me who lives in a part of the USA that those in other parts of the USA think of similarly... to hear someone describe any corner of the British Isles that way. #;-}>

BTW, as I finished typing the above, it occured to me that while "British Isles" is the only way I know to refer to all of the UK + Ireland, that people in Ireland might not like having the rest of their island besides N. Ireland referred to as part of a British ANYthing, even if just a series of islands, and not a nation or country or kingdom or empire....

So I wikied it:

"Alternative terms suggested include "these islands" or "these isles", "Anglo-Celtic Isles", "Islands of the North Atlantic" (IONA), "Northwest European Archipelago" or "West European Isles", none of which have wide currency."

Yeah... all of those alternate names kinda blow.

The ones with "these" don't work very well if you're not ON THE ISLANDS IN QUESTION, for one thing.

Anglo-Celtic is closer to good, but it's still too much of a mouthful. I guess UK/Ireland or British Isles are the two real choices.

Both Germany and Spain play attractive, offensive football so to me it would also be okay if Spain won. I have to admit, they do deserve it a bit more than Germany.

Because I keep saying that end of the world topic brought up in the General forum.

Also, I know I said I don't care about the Mayan calender stuff, but I didn't realise it was actually shown on the first Tomb Raider game. I always wondered what that big massive symbol was on the first level of the game and last night, I just found out. (See 4:19)

Yes, but the axe looks more powerful than the tomahawk, so it being level 37 is reasonable.

I've been at 36,000 blams since 10/10/2005. #;-}> I think you misunderstood my post on page 2159. It was the 27692 saves that was new, and thus the 36,000 divided by 27692 = approximately 1.30 blam ratio on teh NG logs that I was announcing. O_o

Hell yes, one of my 3 major goals down. 10000 exp & Supreme Commander to go now. And I suppose getting 5x10K stats is the only way from there :P

10k exp is another great one. Right up there with 10 VP.

But.. EGSC... I hate to say this... is nothing compared to those two 10-related thingies.

Yeah, as my activity on the BBS decreased over the last year or so, I always come back here. And I alway defend it when it's dissed :D

Hellllllllll yeah.

Haha, and I can't believe I missed you getting your 36. Too bad, but I'm glad you're happy nowc :P

...

Yeah I know, immortality is a complete myth and will not happen :P

Well, even if we could be medically immortal, there'd still be plenty of things to kill us from "unnatural causes," so... yeah.

Well I'm not saying that it works, but perhaps yoga or meditating does. Try it :P

Well sure they're good things, but I mean they aren't magical insta-life extenders the way I was referring to them reducing the number of breaths you take say per year, and thus extending your ... breath-life. #;-}>

Yeah you've deeply offended my race :P but I was born in England so call me what you like :P

(gasp)

Well, if I called myself Irish, whether born there or not... I'D BLOODY WELL TAKE OFFENSE, so.... yeah. #;-}>

I think I'm classed as Anglo-Celtic but I'm about 3/4 Irish, or even more. And consider myself completely Irish, but I do have to defend my birthplace alot too. As I love both places equally :D

Yeah, you definitely fit the Anglo-Celtic Isles resident prototype to a T. #;-}>

I've got mostly Scotch/Irish/English in me, my mom's mom was 100% Polish, so I'm a quarter Polish, and there's a tad of French in me. Possibly a tad of German, too (my mom's dad always denied it, but it may have been leftover stereotyping and denial from WWII).

Both Germany and Spain play attractive, offensive football so to me it would also be okay if Spain won. I have to admit, they do deserve it a bit more than Germany.

Damn straight. They gotta win it for EVERY team out there that was counted out, for every team out there that didn't have the huge trophy display cabinet that gave them and their fans a sense of entitlement... and for every team out there that's been waiting... a looooooooooong time. For any greatness.

If Russia makes it to the finals it would also be fine with me. I just hope Germany can beat Turkey, preferably with a 4-0 result or something similar. That would put them back in their places =/

Heh. You think Turkey's getting a bit too full of themselves with making it to the final four, eh?

Heh, congrats. You're doing pretty well with the saves, though, I gotta say. Moving much quicker than me at any rate.

Yeah, I just brought that issue up in the EGRL because you kinda did by mocking your own rate. PEP TALK TIME.

At 6/24/08 05:06 AM, gfoxcook wrote: Why wouldn't you be?

Well I don't really post in here all that much anymore, so I guess I don't feel like much of an LUL-goer lately.

WHATEVER. You gotta disappear for longer than NintendoMadness has to even come close to not being one of the guys anymore. Have you been away longer than NintendoMadness?

Naw... I didn't think so.

Now, for reference... and I know Coop isn't gonna like hearing this... schnee has kinda stopped being "one of the guys" as of late.... one drop in post every month, and an accidental post by the regular here who was depositing for you for a time... does not an active "guy" make. #;-}>

Similarly, X drifts in and out of being a "guy."

You gotta read "The Guy Rulebook."

I should have said 'even though I don't post in here much anymore', really. There's a lot of people, you and Recon for example, who don't make lists, but are still part of the crew, so to speak. You post in here more than I do these days, though, for the most part.

Yes, indeed. Recon doesn't, though. Yet he's still a "guy," isn't he?

So yeah, stop feeling insecure about your own "guy" status, you guy, you.

fucks you instead, BonusStage style, to show you you're still wanted:::

O_O

EXCELLENCE. Just the reaction I had hoped for. Dreamed for. YEARNED FOR. .... EVEN..... PINED FOR????? ... possibly... GOTTEN HOT AND BOTHERED FOR?

After posting that, I thought about how I coulda used "sexed" instead of fucked there, but... I don't think it would have had the same impact.

There... feel better now?

Actually, yes. ;P

HUZZAH!

Maybe he'll have more time soon?

(or... at least, I hope it is. ;_;)

Hahahaha! Well, good luck on the perfect 1 ratio.

It's been my goal ever since I unretired, as you well know.

Nearly 4k saves down, and it'll only be 8k to go from there.

Alice Cooper - Poison

Hmmm.

Iron Maiden - Aces High

I would, but with 2 Minutes being right after it, I often to listen to BOTH of them looped.

.... so then why did you mention December 2012? O_o

Because I keep saying that end of the world topic brought up in the General forum.

... which, if it mentions "2012" in any way is probably based upon... the Mayan calendar ending in that year. O_o

My parents usually use Internet Exploer rather than Firefox.

oh... GOD no...

Congrats on the 12k, Coopster. I've got a little something of a postcount landmark myself due in about... oh... 1 second. You'll find that while mine isn't quite as high a number as yours... it has a little... je ne sais quoi... that a dozen thousands seems to lack... BEHOLD...

I wondered what happened to him, actually. Had a conversation with Bahamut about where he may be... So... am I still considered 'one of the guys', even though I don't make lists here anymore? ;_;

DON'T REJECT ME

Of course you are considered "one of the guys", man!

WOOT! BLAM/SAVE RATIO UNDER 1.3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FTW.

WOOT!
Funny, I worked really hard (well, as hard as clicking on little icons on a web page can be ;) ) to get my Saves/Blam ratio down, you're working on the opposite... ^^
I managed to get my S/B-Ratio to <2.00 lately. But clock day will ruin all my "hard" work... :(

Ugh... Mavs.

Of the teams in the playoffs, mine probably went: Rockets > Spurs > Pistons > Celtics

Ugh, Rockets... :P
Spurs are a bit "boring", Pistons are great and Celtics too ^^.

Sauerkraut with Wurst! Tasty!

I've had that, and it is. But the main way most Americans eat sauerkraut (and if you've never had one of these.... and you like sauerkraut.... then you simply must have one at some point) is together with dijon mustard on an all-beef frank in a hotdug bun... i.e. a New York-style hotdog.

Hm, I'm not too fond of Hot Dogs, actually. -_-

Someone once said: "I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?"
A wise man that was. ^^

What about the safety labels that stop other people from being hurt, and not just the person using the product? ;_;

I think those casualties have to be classified as "collateral damage"... FOR THE SAKE OF HUMANITY! ;)

Compared to Opera, but aside from using way more RAM than Firefox 3, Firefox 2 >>>>> Firefox 3 (so far.... + from what I've heard, not from personal experience... yet).

I don't know how FF2 is compared to FF3, as I've no intention of trying FF3 any time soon. ^^

His Exp has gone up from 2400 (he had that amount when I took over his account from his holiday break) to 2410.... so yes. He has deposited once during that time. -_-

So tell the guys i said Bye. :3"

BYE? Didn't he mean "tell the guys I said 'hello!'"???????

Um yeah, maybe. Chances are that he meant to write: "Tell the guys I said hello. [line change] Bye. :3".

Yeah, I was very dissapointed saturday. Never expect they would lose to Russia after their awesome performences in the group phase =( We always screw up when it matters most.

Yeah, except for 1988, where the Netherlands actually managed to win the Euro. ^^

Now I hope the final will be Germany vs Spain, and I hope our neighbours will win ;)

That's the final match I hope for, too. ^^ We'll see if Spain can beat Russia again.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany_nat ional_football_team#Titles
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spain_natio nal_football_team#Titles

As seen at the above two links...
Germany's won 3 world cups (albeit all as West Germany, not a unified Germany) and 3 European championships.

Hm... the first world cup was won in 1954, the second in 1974 and the third in 1990.
I wasn't even born when they won the first two, and even the third I can't hardly remember. I know I watched the final match against Argentina, though. ^^

Same with the Euro Cup titles. I wasn't even born when they won the first two titles, but I do quite well remember the one from '96. ^^
But to come to the point: I don't get why germany deserves to win the cup less than spain*. The last title was won 12 years ago and no player that played back then is still active. So basically neither spain nor germany has won any title with the players that play now. So, they both deserve to win the cup equally. ;)

*Basically I never understood that mentality in modern sports. Fans of a team proudly wearing a shirt that says: "WORLD CHAMPION 1902!" is a bit ridiculous in my eyes. ^^

¡Va España!

(GO SPAIN!)

You hurt my feelings! :(

I disagree with you. It's been so great to me. The only problems I've ever had with it were when AOL was fucking it up.

I never liked the look and feel of firefox.

Hopefully. We need more list makers! ^^

You were happier with Firefox 2 than with Opera... but have you tried the NEW Opera since you got upset by the NEW Firefox, eh?

Not tried the new Opera yet and I don't think I will. Despite some of the changes on Firefox 3, I'm happy with the browser I'm using now. I've adapted to it.

I know what you mean. By the time I tried Firefox I was happy with Opera and I wanted Firefox to behave EXACTLY like Opera. Of course that didn't work out.
But I was annoyed that you had to download so many plugins to get functions that are build into Opera when you download the install file.
Yet, the Firefox install file is only slightly smaller than Operas.

Hey, man. Being that cool is a rare talent. ;p

At least I took the effort to quote the post. XD

I thought I might be able to say a quick bye to everyone for the last time. I can't really come on Newgrounds anymore. I doubt I'll ever come back the way it's going with me...
So I want to thank all of you guys, for being so awesome. This WILL be my final post. Cherish it. :3

70 posts is nothing compared to the day that I had exactly 200 posts. I'm sure there has been people with a lot more then that in one day though. It's just my personally record.
