Look back to when you got to level 9, its probably longer than you thought it was. When I got to level 17, I thought that it only took a few weeks..... it took about 100 days to get from 16 to 17.

Pretty good, I think. _lightning_ is still yet to tell us his reasons for emailing an admin.

Doing okay Mr. X, how are you this fine evening? I'm in the middle of my lunch right now.

Second sentence, and already we're onto food!

Ha! I'm already thinking about perogies again tonight (damn they were good).

You sure make it sound like that, which just makes me want to try them even more!

After I filled my face last night it took me about 5 minutes to fall asleep. Yeah, yeah I know. You're not supposed to go to sleep on an full stomach but I didn't have much of a choice. Once my stomach was satisfied my brain took over and "shouted lights out!"

I probably would have done exactly the same thing. What's so bad about sleeping with food in ya anyway?

I slept a good 10 hours yesterday

I slept about half that last night, my sister had a friend over for the night and they stayed up till 2:00AM watching movies. They had it loud enough for the whole house to hear and their incessant laughter made it worse. The good side is the friend has just left, and it's still early morning.

now I'm ready for bear!

Do you mean... beer? I don't know what you'd need a bear for...

It feels like it's taking forever to reach level 15, but it's partly due to me missing deposits from time to time. Just over 300 points to go. I think Conan said I'd reach level 15 around November 4th and that's not too far off.

Im level 3 today...

Congratulations Shpouiten, another 50 points and you'll be level 4. Keep depositing and good things will happen!

Congrats, enjoy the fast level ups while you still can.

Yeah, I just leveled up! :) Finally

Congrats to both of you on attaining the (I feel) two best level-12-and-under icons!

I'll be in shitty ugly-rusted-pipe land in a couple weeks. JOY! #;-}>

I played Gunny Bunny a few days ago which is incredible considering it was done in flash, the second part of ROTMK is great, the new Foamy is the best one I've seen and that Mega Man vs. Metroid game is the best thing I've played on NG, even better than Johnny Rocketfingers. Together with that l30 bug the other day, these are true halcyon days here at NG that we can tell our grandchildren about. Now to watch that new Taco Man flash which should be great.

Uh, yeah... "halcyon" days, except that aside from the 8 hours of level 30 glitch + no portal + no voting + no pic posting on the BBS (but at least being able to post on the BBS PERIOD)...

we had a 3+ hour outage of ALL NG function on Sunday evening, and yesterday we had a 12+ hour outage of ALL NG function once more, and we just now finished a 6+ hour BBS outage.

Now, aside from all those problems, yes, NG is doing real well about now. I watched that Foamy flash earlier this morning, and yeah, it was the best thing I've seen from IllWillPress since the first I ever saw from him (which is still my fave), Shower of Terror.

I haven't tried the MegaMan/Metroid game, I'll have to check that out. Is it super CPU intensive? Hope not...

Congrats RageVI! I just ranked up a few days ago, nice feeling isn't it?

Congrats (for the third time, heh!) to both of you on those rankups.

Check out the top 50 lists and you'll notice that, in fact, you two were the ONLY rankups this update.

And if a 4 day update period makes that seem less impressive, well, you can add in 7 days before that in which chaotic1 was the only person to rankup for a grand total of just you three WiHt guys ranking up from both top 50 lists in an 11 day period. Whew.

Hey, man.

Doing okay Mr. X, how are you this fine evening? I'm in the middle of my lunch right now.

You eat lunch at 9PM? O_o

Best time of day to eat is after you wake up, because your body uses the food and nutrients more efficiently and your metabolism burns calories faster.

If you eat before you go to bed, the exact opposite is true: you end up putting on weight from the food sitting around in your stomach and intestines during your sleep, when you're not burning many calories and your metabolism goes into hibernation mode.

And this is why midnight snacking is not a good idea (unless you don't go to sleep till 6 AM, I suppose).

now I'm ready for bear!

Do you mean... beer? I don't know what you'd need a bear for...

It's an idiom. I can't really explain exactly what it means, but I believe it basically means "ready for action."

But yes, being ready for beer is a pretty good thing, too. I think I'll go have a hard lemonade, though.. hmmm... it is 7 AM, but I've been up since 3 AM after a nap from 11:30 PM to 3 AM, so that doesn't count as drinking too early, more like drinking too late. #;-}>

I've been reading the news on the new civilization discovered - Badeebop.

Errrr... I'm here. But the server's going down in 3 minutes, so... for what it's worth. #;-}>

I'll be on again later, assuming we've only got a 3 hour maintenance (and I mean maybe after maint, but at least this evening if not).

HEY! Everyone who hasn't commented on the new top 50 blammers list and top 50 saviors list format, go comment, goddamnit! #;-}>

UMMMM... nevermind about that. Looks like the BBS and profiles are fine during maintenance tonight. I've been asleep during the past two Sunday maintenances, so I never noticed but is the BBS always working during the now-weekly maintenances now?

I guess I just assumed that since back when we had nightly maintenance, the big-maintenance nights (3+ hours) usually had no BBS available during them (whereas the short 1 hour ones usually DID) the weekend ones would have no BBS available.ererer.e.re. BLEH!

But joy, at the same time. I was definitely in a posting mood, and now I don't have to go over to Severed Heads just yet to get my fill.

Yeah no kidding. I've seen it in a few BBS sigs like Tanner's.

Look! I posted an unhappy face because I'm unhappy. I must say the voting has been a little odd today. Submissions I thought would be saved were blammed & vice versa. It's not so much about the points but the effort and quality. There was a real cool submission with bizarre artwork in it that was torpedoed in minutes. Blah. I still vote 0 on those stupid dress-ups no matter what!!

Sorry for responding to part of my own post but it's on the same track.

That sorry 765.3 kb submission "a B story" by Kizbo Xian (D+), made it past the blam shield with 1.82 as it's final score. Now... ** searches for words but comes up empty **
