Hence why studying not only Shakespeare, but Romeo and Juliet 3 times through my education has left me somewhat jaded.

I don't think I'd have been so annoyed if I'd studied different works of Shakespeare.

What? You mean he made more R&J, Hamlet, Julius Ceaser, and Macbeth? :P

I would figure that college would help expand your views on English writers. There are so many of them like that one guy who wrote the one work.

Now, don't tell me that the American Education system is better than the British one because it isn't. :P

You know what must be done. Laxative.

I was gone to Mexico for Spring Break, but my account still turned 8 years old while I was gone. That's quite a while...

Well, I told Bahamut I was gonna do my LUL catchup RIGHT after I finished my 4-post catchup in Coop's Revolution thread on General (ick... still cleaning the garbage smell out of my clothes and hair, BTW)...

BUT.... I'm a bit burned out as it took a bit over an hour to do that catchup on just ~30 posts in 2 pages.... I'm not sure I have the energy for LUL at this very minute, IOW...

(PLUS, my fave TF2 map, ctf_mach4, is on my #1 TF2 server, and... yeah....)

TF2 first, LUL later. #;-}>

Congratulations!

Before I come back and catch up later, BTW... I do have one achievement of my own to report, and how appropriate to be following the above poster's post, since it's very similar...

My big 10-post catch-up in here was on Feb 13... and then I didn't post in here again until a week ago when I just dropped by to make a single post...

So.... much like Spiffy before me, my little break from this thread has caused me to miss announcing my NG anniversary (which was just a bit later that same week I caught all up on LUL, saddest of all ;_;) on the very day of it, alas, but... better late than never, yes?

Ugh. Well, I have all the quotes I want to reply to ready (ALL SIXTY-FUCKING-EIGHT OF THEM o_ooooooooo), but it's 2AM and I don't feel like starting the actual replying tonight, so it'll have to wait till tomorrow.

IN ANY EVENT, looks like the topic has slowed down quite a bit. I made that one-off post in here a few days ago... on page 2572, it seems... and now the "present" is only on page 2573... and on top of that, there's only been a single post in here since my post earlier this evening.

THANK YOU, LUL, FOR SLOWING DOWN A BIT (so I can get back on! #;-}>).

I'd have to say (begrudgingly) that a Ferrari driver will be on the top spot this year. But that is the case so far. I can't call Vetell, because of the reliability issues with the Red Bull.

Avs-Ducks tonight, go Avs!

5-2 loss :(

Oh well... big game at San Jose tonight!

Let's just stop talking about hockey :( Every time you mention an Avs game, we lose :'(

Also, the Islanders still have a very slight chance to make the playoffs... But really, even if we get there, we should face the Capitals, which I bet it would be a sweep. :(

How about them Leafs? Are they going to stop Boston from getting a really good draft pick? Looks likely that they'll only get 4th or 5th place now in the draft lottery.

Well, if you don't use your camera very often, then they should be enough. We only use rechargeable batteries in here, despite them not lasting for too long.

If I really want to, I'll just find some batteries in the battery box and hope I can get some I can use.

Come on, doc! Do it, do it, do it!

CHEERS MATE!!!

Demoman has made me saying that quote more and more.

Haggard might say a bad thing or two about them.

Ah, I still think Sonata is awesome. I still hope that they'll play in here one day. :)

I'd like to see them live too but only if they don't play too much of their latest album. Most of it was forgettable to me.

Indeed, we're close to finishing now. GameFAQs just finished their contest but it sucked. They better listen to the criticism I MIGHT give them.

You know, considering the poll results in their website, where about 30% voted for the end of the Character Battles (given five options, that is), I think they'll try to change it this time (if there is a next one).

Here's hoping but they'll just consider the other 70%. However, maybe they'll say no to joke "characters" from now on.

Awesome! Is it really better than the original one?

It's hard to say since I'm only 6 hours in (yeah, I'm slow) and the remakes have so much more added to them. Original Silver I must have played for a total of 300 hours.

It's been said in the past, but I've actually done a decent job of having a lot of the times my name has been said removed. The name change helped a bit as a lot of the old links lead back to Corky52, which is basically empty.

But still, your profile picture is a picture of yours... shouldn't you take it out as well? Who knows who can stumble upon your page...

I can change that when I'm going to get a job. I can't change posts. I still have another year of college before I have to worry about the picture.

Nah, I think I watched it about 6 years ago, but I was so young I simply can't remember what it was about. It'll be a good day to give myself a reminder.

Yes. Rock Hard Festival again. Bloodbath will be there and Sonata Arctica as well. Maybe I'll give them another chance. ^^

Good, be sure to do that, although chances are they'll play songs from their new album and that was their weakest yet.

I have yet to wait and see when they will play. If they play Sunday evening chances are I will already be on my way home again.

Yes, Henry V is pretty good. Macbeth is my personal favorite and while Julius Caesar was pretty short is still pretty interesting. It really has to do more about Brutus and his debate about what to do with Caesar and should he go along with this plot and the consequences afterwards.

Yeah, it's the conspiracy leading up to the death of him. It's not as if Caesar was particularly memorably over-indulgent, but he was murdered, allowing succession to run through. Politics is still quite ruthless :P
