Enjoy being a young user around here. I remember when I started to post in the Wi/Ht, specially in this lounge, I was the youngest LULer if I remember correctly.
I stopped being the youngest user here when Hacsev started to make lists too. However he stopped doing it months ago.

You guys are in college, right? I'm youngest by at least four years. It's strange to think about.

I'm still one of the youngest LUL'ers around, but not the youngest :P
I hope you enjoyed your birthday so much as you said.

I did indeed.

For this reason I doubt this law has ever been enforced, and if it has been, nobody's ever done it. I've always wanted to push my luck and try it near a Kentucky police station.

That's an alternative to Jackass, that I could see becoming a YouTube sensation.

Pretty much anything can become a YouTube sensation these days, even accusing people of not having pancake mix. If they made a new story about it and Auto-Tune the News made a song about it...

7.00 Base Voting Power. Not bad.

Your experience gave you a voting power of 5.80 votes. Your blam and protection points gave you an additional 34% of your experience power, meaning that your total vote power was worth 7.77 votes!

Coop hopes that all of the family stress will subside now. Congratulations to:

I didn't catch the game last night but is it really any surprise there would be some questionable umpiring since this year had some of the largest blown calls in recent history. AJ will do fine against Hunter.

Can you just admit that we're going to get swept? Lee is a Yanks killer and as much as Moseley is an unknown quantity, we're just going to have to rebuild against the Rays.

No, but the teams above them are so strong that you can halve that Elimination number straight away, because one of them isn't going to go on a massive losing streak to bring Boston back into it.

You just want to crush all hope for the Red Sox, don't you. :P

Of course - they're working on a streak now and I want it to be longer than the last major winless streak they had.

I mean, after all, it's not like the Cubs have the worst record in baseball - the Phillies have the most losses, as they became the first franchise in Major League history to lose 10,000 Games. That's impressive in the fact that they still manage to win games in this state.

As irreplaceable as Steve Harris, if he left Maiden? Or as irreplaceable as Axl Rose wishes he was for Guns 'n' Roses?

He really is like the Steve Harris of Dream Theater. Infact, Petrucci and Myung also apply to this statement. They are the original three founders and have been there since day one. Any of them absent would not be Dream Theater.

It's difficult when 3 guys make up the Steve Harris quotient. Even though Brian May, John Deacon and Roger Taylor were integral parts of Queen, everyone thinks of Freddie (like some uneducated people think of Bruce for Maiden, I might add!) Since Freddie Mercury died, John Deacon has retired, rather making Brian May the face of Queen by default. Had Freddie still been with us, he would have been the face of the band. With three people "fighting" over who is the face of the band, it's difficult to work it out.

It would be like one of the Proclaimers leaving for "musical differences"

I can see this being another Bruce Dickinson returns to Maiden or Halford returns to Judas Priest, though. Still, Dream Theater as a whole should take a break.

Breaks are for the best and if they come back, all for the better (I hope)

Sure you do.

Nah - if I had that kind of skill, I wouldn't be barely getting to the top 115 of Medal Point users.

I'm only far down because medal games are a low priority for me. When I'm watching/playing flashes, I save it for my duties.

Fair call - I suppose that the Medals aren't that important, when all things are considered. Perhaps I'll come around, but I'll still play medal games when I find the time.

I don't recall hating Daft Punk. I may have put them aside due to not being fond of the genre at one point but it wasn't like "FUCK DAFT PUNK, THEY SUCK!" I will keep the album in mind but don't expect me to get it right away. I have over 600 albums on my to get list so whenever I get to Daft Punk depends on my mood. I'm sure I'm more likely to get that album than the majority of the stuff I have listed on my CDs spreadsheet, though.

It's OK. Take your time. I only wanted to tell you that you wouldn't regret, if you decided to buy it :P

I have to agree with you in some way. It's pretty rare finding users of your age who post in the wi/ht in these days, and specially who also posts in the LUL besides in the rest of the forum itself.

I miss the old days when this thread was very active and the daily congrats lists were even longer than the ones. Now if you want to create a long list you have to wait at least 2 days, like the lists you do.

Heh, you'll get used to it eventually and you'll learn to pay attention to both subtitles and what's happening on the screen.

Civilian service? :p

Yes, Zivildienst or "Civilian Service" or "compulsory paid community service". We still have compulsory military service in Germany, the only way I could avoid the military was the Zivildienst.

You still have that in Germany? Wow :o

I thought military service was something from the 70's. I only hear stories about it from people my dad's age. I thought afterwards it didn't exist anymore in our part of Europe.

I don't know, but I think they'd better let me finish my study cause I'm sure they could use engineers during wartime. Especially ones that have knowledge of rockets and aircrafts :p

Not sure if I'd want to develop weaponry though, but it probably beats being a soldier in the army.

You could develope weapons that don't work. But they only won't work if they are bought by some military forces. ^^

Yeah, but then I'd be considered a traitor if they find out I invented those on purpose.

I could perhaps keep pretending that 'I need more time' though, and will hopefully be able to stretch it till the war is over.

It looks like a movie that isn't broadcasted often.

Yeah, too bad, but movies like those don't seem to be of any interest right now. I'm still waiting for a rerun of "All Quiet on the Western Front". I know I recorded it on VHS a few years ago, but I can't find it anymore...

I've heard of that movie a couple of times. I think my gf has to watch it for her film courses this year, but I'm not sure. What was so special about that movie again?

Yeah, I'm always wondering if Italian girls would like Scandinavians then and if it's just an "other cultures are soooo much more interesting" kind of thing.

Or maybe italian girls are attraced to africans. But who should southern african girls be attracted to? There aren't that many people living in antarctica, I guess. XD

Don't black people love white people's looks? That's the impression I always get from comedy movies with Chris Rock and Will Smith.

I guess that would make the listening and speaking easier, but the grammar might still be way more difficult. I was under the impression that the German grammar was more complicated than the French one, but I've only had to bother with them for 2-3 years or so.

I'm not really an expert when it comes to grammar. I suck at grammar in every language (I think I mentioned it before), but yeah, since german is my native language I don't have to bother learning the grammar rules. I just know them. ^^

Lol.

I still make many mistakes in the Dutch grammar, but we all do. Most common mistake is probably verbs that end with a 'd', 't' or 'dt' in the you and he/she/it form. People often do them wrong and I'm personally in favor of writing everything the same way cause grammar nazi's keep complaining to people when they do it wrong.

I took Greek and Latin Etymologies classes in High school and I'm quite familiarized with those languages too. I'm going to need Greek a lot because all the diseases names come from Greek. However I won't need Latin since it's used more for careers like Laws and psychology.

I always hear that you need Latin for Doctor studies, and that that was pretty much the only studies you need Latin for. Makes sense that you'll need it in law and psychology as well though.

Knowing Greek and Latin is handy since you can determinate the meaning of any word if you know their roots, which in most cases are from those languages. I would mind telling to your gf that she shouldn't stop practicing those languages.

Yeah my gf often says: Oh that part comes from that latin or greek word, so it probably has something to do with this (which is true in 9 out of 10 cases).

I took Latin myself as well at some point, but I sucked at it and dropped the courses. I don't think it was that useful for me anyway.

So I went up and complained once more to them, I also said I will have to complain to the landlord if they continue to play loud music.

I always hear that you need Latin for Doctor studies, and that that was pretty much the only studies you need Latin for. Makes sense that you'll need it in law and psychology as well though.

My biology teacher is an internist, and I remember he told me that I will need Greek more than Latin. I think both are necessary, there are some Latin words that are commonly used in medicine too. I'm glad the High School I studied, had Greek and Latin etymologies classes. I will need them in med school :/

Yeah my gf often says: Oh that part comes from that latin or greek word, so it probably has something to do with this (which is true in 9 out of 10 cases).

Hahaha, yeah. They can be quite useful if you don't know the meaning of a word :P

I took Latin myself as well at some point, but I sucked at it and dropped the courses. I don't think it was that useful for me anyway.

I don't think a career related with Engineering, is necessary knowing Latin terms. That career is mostly math, logic, physics and some engineerings actually may need chemistry.

It's an 80s song and was popular back then. It also became Duffman's theme.

He can go to jail if that's the case. :) That's where the fucker needs to be right now.

Or end up in the hospital cause he's stupid enough to attack a dragon.

Nah, jail is a more appropriate punishment.

Might be a good idea. Speaking of which, roughly when is the next Memberlist election being held?

We could do with hosting another one soon.

What we gonna do with all the cash?

Smoke hash, and then we thrash!

We'll throw a big ol' bash y'all.

The last time I missed a deposit was 23rd February 2008. My friend forgot to deposit for me that day and the missed deposit before that was when the site was down for the redesign.

Hahaha. 25 days may sound a lot, but if you consider the amount of days the levels above of 40 take to level up, 25 days seem nothing :/ Well, that's my opinion.

Percentage wise, it's easy, but on the time factor, I've got so much else to do within 25 days!

I'm going to read your story tomorrow at night at my lap in bed, before going to sleep :P

Good - I'll be glad to hear slightly more feedback than "Great story, thanks for sharing"

Is there an audio book version of that? :)

That's the polite way of saying "TL;DR"

Can you just admit that we're going to get swept? Lee is a Yanks killer and as much as Moseley is an unknown quantity, we're just going to have to rebuild against the Rays.

Well last night was Rivera's fault. I guess it'll all come down the the Rays series to where it's all going to shake up.

Right, the winning streak starts again tonight, with CC beating David Price. 20 wins, here we come.

Of course - they're working on a streak now and I want it to be longer than the last major winless streak they had.

I mean, after all, it's not like the Cubs have the worst record in baseball - the Phillies have the most losses, as they became the first franchise in Major League history to lose 10,000 Games. That's impressive in the fact that they still manage to win games in this state.

You don't want them to lose but lose spectacularly. Spoken like a true Yankee fan.

Indeed!

Had Freddie still been with us, he would have been the face of the band. With three people "fighting" over who is the face of the band, it's difficult to work it out.

Why Queen insisted on continuing without Freddie Mercury will always be beyond me.

I can understand No-one but you, but beyond that, I'm highly sceptical.

Fair call - I suppose that the Medals aren't that important, when all things are considered. Perhaps I'll come around, but I'll still play medal games when I find the time.

Medals are really just an added bonus for these games. I'll enjoy games whether they have medals or not. However, I will always prefer movies over games.

I'm trying to get up to 100% completion on Assassins Creed II at present - the special moves are difficult, as it killing 10 guards without taking damage during a fight.

Private!

Level 8. Yay! Getting closer to the weapons.

My last missed deposits (I missed three) where back in 2007 when I went to a festival without asking anyone to deposit for me.

Hm, if I manage to get 15 B/P a day I will reach 77,777 on 31/Aug/16.
However, NGLogs pace check tells me I averaged 24 B/P a day in 2010 (seems to be a bit high imo, but here we go), with that pace I would reach 77,777 B/P on 06/Jun/14.

B/P rank
I'm guessing I'll go down 7 ranks this time last year with users such as Auz, Gagsy and byteslinger passing me sometime before then.

I'm not too sure about that. 12,000+ BP is still a large gap.

You're welcome in advance.

Also, I just came home from my father's 60th Birthday just to be greeted by loud as fuck music from my neighbours living on the 12th floor. So I went up and complained once more to them, I also said I will have to complain to the landlord if they continue to play loud music. The guy seemed pretty nice and apologized, now it's quiet again (even though I can still hear them talk. I wonder how that works, walls are pretty thick here, so normal talking shouldn't be heard in any other rooms...). :)

Otherwise just tell him:

Do wiki editors count too? :P

Yep, so do genre mods ;)

I always hear that you need Latin for Doctor studies, and that that was pretty much the only studies you need Latin for. Makes sense that you'll need it in law and psychology as well though.

My biology teacher is an internist, and I remember he told me that I will need Greek more than Latin. I think both are necessary, there are some Latin words that are commonly used in medicine too. I'm glad the High School I studied, had Greek and Latin etymologies classes. I will need them in med school :/

Would suck if you had to take courses in them next to your med school program.

And people in school always told me that medicine often has Latin names, but when I look at the names now I think they're much more understandable if you have knowledge of Chemistry.

I took Latin myself as well at some point, but I sucked at it and dropped the courses. I don't think it was that useful for me anyway.

I don't think a career related with Engineering, is necessary knowing Latin terms. That career is mostly math, logic, physics and some engineerings actually may need chemistry.

I think it's one of the least useful languages for me to learn. Chinese or Japanese may be good languages for me to study.

Chemistry is important in some engineering fields, but I think in most it isn't. I've never had to use my Chemistry knowledge anymore after high school and I'm pretty sure the people at studies similar to mine never had to either.
