I need to say this. I am not trying to make excuses for my comments/behaviour, but I would like you all to know, that on Christmas day at around 2am, after suffering a major headache for some hours, my best friend Mat had a brain Heamorage, he's only 37, thankfully his parents were with him and insisted on taking him to hospital to get checked, he had rushed surgery, so I was really was'nt myself that day, in fact I would go so far as to say it was like having an out of body experience. I just sat here waiting for the phone to ring for some hopefully good news, which eventually came late in the evening. We have been best mates for 30+ years and I cant imagine life without him around, (Not Gay). He is still in intensive care, with a multitude of tubes hanging out of his head, and a hole drilled in the back of his skull to relieve the pressure on his brain, but the doctors say he will make a full recovery, but will need to take it very easy for a while, thank goodness. Like I said previously, I am not trying to use this as an excuse for my appalling comments/behaviour, but I hope you all understand I just was'nt myself that day and had to vent. I read back over my posts and must admit they were totally unfounded and unwarranted, I dont know what I was thinking, I just dont think I was thinking at all. Deepest regretful apologies to Toocool100, after hearing many wonderful testimonies in your favour, using you as a scapegoat was completely wrong, I hope you can forgive me. Sincerest apologies to any one else I offended by my comments, and I hope you can also forgive me. Rest assured nothing like this will ever happen again.

PS: Coop, You have wisdom far beyond your age, it was your comments that helped me see the error of my ways. You were right I should be ashamed. And for that I thank you. Much, much, much appreciated. Super sincerely, and most humbly Gamejunkie.

Rev's pipes have frozen over; congrats to:

I see. So that's a welly. Usually I'm good at using context clues to tell what you mean but I wasn't sure in this case. You could have meant you popped the clutch or got out and pushed. Ha!

Oh I don't know? "That's an understatement" is more of an idiom for strongly agreeing with someone.

Wow, that was before I even signed up or had a slight interest in this site.

Only about five months before you signed up.

Awesomeness!

Glad you like it! :)

Sure. You just really ruffled my feathers when you insinuate Toocool as dishonest and started preaching to us. Granted, I too could have used a few less choice words and have been less blunt. It's all water under the bridge as far as I see it.

Cheers, I have PM'ed Toocool100 personally, had him explain his reasons for Save voting and apologised profusely and resolved the issue. But like I explained above it was probably one of the worst days I've had in many, many years. The thought of losing my best friend sent my brain into overload and the fingers typed before the brain thought. Thanks everyone for understanding, but once again, SORRY to all I offended, it certainly was not intentional or intended.

And I suppose a Congratulations! Toocool100 on your monumental achievement would not go astray about here.

gamejunkie, I fully understand what you're going through right now. Last year, my friend had to go to intensive care a few days prior to Christmas so he had to stay in hospital over Christmas until he was fully recovered. Christmas was never a time he or anyone else want to be in hospital for and I am very sorry to hear what's happened to your friend. I'm hoping he recovers from this.

There is something else I have to say about the matter, though. For times like this, Newgrounds is one of the last places you want to to go and sadly the lounge isn't exempt to that. If there's the slightest thing that can put you in an even worse mood than before, it's best you take it easy on yourself until you're feeling better.

My girlfriend was in hopsital last week... not in intensive care or anything, but it was all pretty dramatic, especially as we had to call out an ambulance and all that. She's alright now, but it's never nice when someone you care about has to be in hospital, especially at christmas.

I hope your friend makes a speedy and full recovery.

Thank you both, Bahamut and NEVR, you may not think so, but it really means a lot to hear such kind words from you guys. I really do appreciate it. Thanks heaps.

lol@idiot-finder being nominated for best poster.

HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?!

Lots of stupid users around, it seems.

I think you first posted sometime in 2006. I've checked once before to see when you started posting here.

Actually it was in January 2007, see my last post. ^^

Ah yes but you did start to become more active in 2006.

That's right. But I only started to become really active after the redesign. Lots of questions to answer in the Wi/Ht. ^^

Why should I get Load or ReLoad?

Because there are some awesome songs on those albums like The House Jack Built, Hero Of The Day, The Outlaw Torn, Where The Wild Things Are and Low Man's Lyric.

Meh, I'll pass. After all, I'll be getting four Slough Feg albums along with a few others so no time for Load or ReLoad. :D

You should get them at some time in the future, then.

I believe only you have said Slayer is boring but Coop doesn't favour them either.

I think I confused Casualty with Denvish. Even though I'm not so sure Denvish posted here that much when I became active... but there was one other user who also thought Slayer was crap.

I don't remember anyone else here. Also, how could you confuse Casualty with Denvish?

Maybe because NG Log used to be hosted on Denvish's site.

Sadly, the switchblade on Newgrounds is SHIT!

Luckily it isn't.

Unfortunately, it is.

It isn't.

It'll melt by the time I get there. I need to go to a much colder place where there's tons of snow.

Like Antarctica?

Yeah, that's more like it.

I hear it's pretty cold there, even in the summer. How can dragons cope with cold weather? Can you still spit fire, even when it's so cold? -.-

No harm done to anyone here. At least not to me. All the best to your friend!

Bronze whistle, 280 reviews, and level 17. I would have posted them one by one sooner, but Banta Clause was being especially nice this season.

At 12/26/09 09:27 AM, gamejunkie wrote: And to Auz, thanks for your logical/explanation reply.

You're welcome.

Also I hope everything will turn out alright with your friend and all. Can't say I've ever been in a similar situation so I can't share experiences, but well... I hope he'll be alright.

I made Level 20 on Christmas!

What an awesome Christmas gift from NG!

I also made Police Lieutenant a while back.

Sorry about the double post.

Alright, tomorrow is going to be a long day. We'll start our road trip at 5am and finish it by 7pm, maybe more. Only to repeat it on the other day. THEN we arrive at the wonderful city of Torres!

Yeah, it's a bit far away from here (like 2000 km), but it's worth it in the end. Even though some of the roads are pretty bad conserved, the trip is quite calm. Plus, the views are beautiful.

I still need to organize some stuff, mainly the music I'm bringing. The laptop is coming, but the whole internet thing is still unsure. I hope we have internet connection, so I don't miss many deposits here. =)

Also, my birthday is on the 8th and the Metallica concert is on the 28th. HAPPY TIMES.

Bye guys! Hopefully I'll see you soon!

Now, LET'S GO SURFING!

Level 31!

Will I reach 10,000 exp. tomorrow? I really don't know... =/

Level 39.

Level 34.

er, Twenty-four

5,555 save points and #3,000 exp rank

11,000 experience.

I just broke into the top 1000 for B/P points. Sadly I don't have a picture of #1000 because it jumped from 1001 to 995 but I'm pleased nonetheless.

Man, I feel for you with your situation like this. I honestly don't know what I'd do without my best friend, as he's the type of guy that would do anything for me in that respect (likewise Not Gay). I hope that you can all get through this and wish you all the best.

Hey, don't worry about it. So long as we can all be friends at the end of the day, this sort of thing is worth looking at.

Trust me about the machines - fixit, yaya12 and icean all got shut down for their parts in automated voting scams. If you want to concentrate on point whores, there are people out there that really do only seem to care about the numbers, but they are a dying breed at the moment. Afro_Stud has calmed down and the bigger gainers seem to be people like harryjarry and in the past DrJam. We will survive.

Well, it's some welly - basically a bastardisation of "a boot full", as you mash the gas. A welly is a term for the boots worn by British troops during the Napoleonic Wars. Named after the Duke of Wellington, Sir Arthur Wellesley, these were the root of the phrase.

Yeah... I was wondering if the awards would still be held this year. The organization was terrible. Also there are lots of categories were I didn't even know who to vote for, since apparently it's 99% general regs that got nominated...

Perhaps we should hold one ourselves next year.

All you reg's, you know who I mean, are all awesome. Mat is at least sitting up now and talking again, still in intensive care (and still only family allowed in which is pissing me right off), but he has every test under the sun done to him, and I will know more on tuesday. Thanks everyone for your best wishes. I know I probably should'nt post this here but if I do it in general you guys might miss it. So thanks.

apparently it's 99% general regs that got nominated...

That shouldn't be too surprising as General is the most active forum. Still, it would be nice if the awards catered the whole of the BBS.

Perhaps we should hold one ourselves next year.

I still think we're good enough with the Regulars and Members lists but we could give it a try sometime and see how it works out.
