i'm really happy that i don't have a lollipop anymore

I just reached 73,000 BP!

Not such a big deal, but nice nonetheless.

I just got 14,000 saves

New Rhapsody song has been posted online. I'm very happy! Not only that, I'm on an Easter break from the school now so no working until 5th May.

YAY!

And it's a good album. The next Anvil album I'll probably get is Metal on Metal if I can find it cheap. The lowest I've found is £16. I'm surprised at its rarity.

I'll find my dragon lover someday.

Well, hope dies last I guess.

You can have confidence in me.

Ah, sure. We can help them end their misery.

Yep, that's the spirit!

And I really want YouTube to end their misery.

How can you set a website on fire anyway? :P

Well, there's DestroyTheWeb that let's you shoot websites down, so maybe there's also a "set the web on fire" addon somewhere?

And that's the closest we can get. I expected actual fire on a website. Oh well.

I would laugh my arse off if he did. Then I would fly to Brazil, dress like a woman and lead the carnival in Rio, so confident am I that he isn't capable of that.

Hey, I asked what records he was likely to get this year, you said 3k. So see ya in carnival!

I could ask him about it, but heavy metal related stuff wouldn't really be my favorite topic when I'm talking to him. Fact still is that I know too little to say anything meaningful :p

15 months? Damn. I guess he had to take the public transport when he went to work?

The license ban was in late 2007 so he's well back into driving now. Public transport isn't much of an issue to him since he works for the travel helpline and has a free travel pass.

Lucky for him :p

Still, getting back to driving must have been weird for him.

Hmm yeah I can imagine. I also stopped driving for about half a year once and it feld odd getting behind the wheel again. But I think driving a car is one of those things that you'll never unlearn. Just like driving a bike and swimming.

To be honest I don't know him that well. That's about the only thing I know about him.

Surely you know what made SevenStar infamous.

I think it was flooding the portal with spam flashes?

But if I remember correctly, Sevenstar was actually a bit 'before my time'.

Good thing Holland and Belgium have plenty of beer brewers :)

I'm not sure if you could even find Guinness in an ordinary supermarket. There are already like 20 different kinds of Belgian and Dutch beer to choose from.

The real money that bars make is in liquor and mixed drinks.

Definitely. Like I said, you get a few drops of liquor and 10 cubes of ice for every glass costing 5 euros. In a supermarket you can get a bottle for 10-15 euros, but the bars and restaurants sell them for like... 150 euros in total.

Yeah that's the one. It'd be nice to see what that place looks like and what facilities they got, but I'm not very interested in studying there. Indeed it could be pricey, but also, I don't think I would have liked to leave my friends and family behind for a few years.

I've reached level 17 and 100000 medal points

I'm a Police Officer and level 7!

Finally I leveled up and I am rid of that lousy fist icon forever!

Earlier tonight I passed 16,666 total B/P. Aside from looking rather spiffy, it's also 1/6 the way to 100,000.

50k medal points

Heh, apparently I've been on NG for 3 years, and also 1111 days (that was yesterday, but whatever).
As if that wasn't enough, I also got 52k medal points, 21k saves, and 40k total stats (b/p+xp+reviews).

Oh yeah that is true. Jeter just passes Bonds yesterday, a little ironic with everything going on with him.

He's starting to hit again. It's just a matter of time and we'll see him getting a decent number of hits this season. Sure, the days of him hitting really well have probably gone, but he's capable of many more hits in a Yankees Uniform.

I would laugh my arse off if he did. Then I would fly to Brazil, dress like a woman and lead the carnival in Rio, so confident am I that he isn't capable of that.

I meant hitting 77Homers ina season. Jeter has hit 20+ in 1, maybe 2 seasons. With a fading stroke, he's not going to set the charts aflame.

You would have to go to a liquor store to buy something specialized like Guinness. Most supermarkets only sell the major US beer brands and they can up only a certain percentage of alcohol, 3.2% for my state and like 6% for a state like Texas.

I think Newgrounds is generally a pretty heavy website for your browser. I'm surprised it even works on your phone.

Very rarely will I use it to go to NG since it use so much data to go here since every little item is shown. I hope in the redesign they staff will make it more phone friendly, at least the BBS.

Taking a fire axe, which we don't have, to a velux roof window is never a good idea. Just open the window and head onto the roof, before jumping onto someone's car below. That's my fire safety plan, in a nutshell.

Ah well, as long as the internet is avaiable in the new home this month I don't care. It's a nice opportunity to focus more on real life related stuff. ^^
