Well played. Had I know that this is what it would take to get you back into listing, I would have done it sooner.
Now, what to do to get Haggard back into it...
Bribing me with lots of money sure would help. ;)
Ah, but if I had lots of money, I'd fund The Forsaken City first. Sorry, but I really want that project to get off the ground :(
I see. Then I'll have to kickstart this thing myself. "If you fund this project, I will promise to do congrats-list daily in the LUL."
Seems promising enough.
While I like the merit of it, I now have an additional $35, as Forsaken City was not funded :(
So, what am I going to get as my incentive for spending $35 on this project?

It sounds like the graphic violence comes out of Super Mario Bros. Not the shitty Bob Hoskins movie, either...
That movie was bad...
And yes, I sometimes ask myself, why Super Mario never is accused to have a bad influence on children.
I think I need some more realistic violence from a video game. That's why I'm loading up Lord of the Rings.
I was playing some Fallout 3 again the other day. The violence there is pretty realistic. Well, except for heads flying off a little TOO easy every now and then. >_>
I had some graphic relaism on Borderlands the other day - stomped a skag to death. I even got an achievement for it :P
Yet another game I haven't played yet. Damn!
Borderlands is quite fun for killing time, to be honest. No two guns are the same and being able to make a giant psychopath explode right in front of your eyes is always amusing.

The internet has a better mind for big jugs. Gotta love that the Bottom show was made during a time when the internet was hardly known.
I'll have to dig my DVDs of it out.
Sounds like you're getting your Big Jugs out. :P
At some stage, yes.
Ohhhhhh shit! I see this now as a ploy to bring us back to congratulating users. Well, now my policy is set in foot FOREVER!
Set in foot? Do you mean set in stone?
You know what I mean.
Or do I?
Don't let me know where your dick has been.
In a communal shower :P
Next thing I don't want to know: Where you go to have that shower.
What? This is me cleansing after a cricket match. Nothing more, nothing less.
Where did he say that?
He sent me a PM yesterday
I'd advise him to PM Luis about it but surely Luis would have been asked that before.
We'll sort something out at some stage, no doubt.
Bribing me with lots of money sure would help. ;)
Ah, but if I had lots of money, I'd fund The Forsaken City first. Sorry, but I really want that project to get off the ground :(
But what if the project doesn't succeed its funding goal?
Well, it didn't. We just have to wait and see.

The new Manowar album is absolutely terrible. I actually expected it to be bad so I've saved disappointment. However, it's still a shame for them to make a record as effortless as this.
The prosecution (myself and Haggard) rests, M'lud
I'm ahead of you on this one. I knew it was going to be bad anyway but this bad? That's a different story. This is actually the worst album I've heard from this year so far and I know so little albums from 2012 that suck. Then again, I don't know too many that are uber good.
So in short, 2012 has been average - not spectacular, but not dire, either.

As for the 106,000 vs top 2,000 argument, I think once you pass the Supreme Commander stage there isn't really a whole lot of point in celebrating every 1,000 B/P, because all the milestones you're working towards at that point are artificial.
It's hard to see how the ranks themselves are natural :P At least 1,000 increments are round numbers and they take weeks to reach.
Not artificial vs natural, artificial vs actual. The ranks are hard and fast milestones that you can pursue, and while you're doing that, every 1,000 increment is a big deal because it gets you closer to the next rank. Once you pass the last of them, the 1,000 increments don't mean anything other than having gotten another 1,000. Yes they're round numbers, but they get less and less important/impressive the more times you get them.
Tell that to someone who has reached the age of 101. Happy birthday, Grandma. We're not going to celebrate until you reach 105, because you've had so many birthdays, after all, you old cunt.
To analogize, a week is a nice round amount of time, but after a while you stop using them to count someone's age, because saying I'm 1,687 weeks old would be stupid.
And yet, we congratulate people for reaching 1,111, 2,222 and 3,333 DAYS on Newgrounds. Ergo, your argument is invalid.
The real question is whether there comes a point at which we should move away from increments of 5,000, and only celebrate increments of 10,000.
Fine. Have it your way. Only congratulate me for every 5,000 or 10,000 B/P. I will still post my achievements in here, because I still believe them to be achievements.

30 BITCHES! If this was pre-2007 I'd be max level!
No, you wouldn't. You'd be about Level 16 and struggling to make ground on your next level, let alone making it to the very top. Hell, I'd still be about Level 24, striving to get closer to Pimp.
