Man, that guy never ceases to amaze my with those Protection points of his. Makes me wonder if he has a counterpart. Like, a user with almost nothing but Blam points.

Haha! I was upset twice because I missed two elections in a row Mr_Pop_Alot! They took place during my hazy days off. No big deal. It's not like the other members voted in a couple of n00bs (no disrespect intended jonthomson or XwaynecoltX). I see Toocool100 received a nomination. Come on people don't be shy! So many of the club's veterans have faded into shades of grey.

I knew it was 2 times for something. Hazy days off you say? Were you and your buds drinking the potion and playing heated rounds of videogames again? xD I remember you saying earlier you guys really get into the games and start yelling and hitting controllers away.

Of course we do bud, we're a bunch of 40 year old brats!

Oh man, I have the irrepressible urge to relate a story to you that happened to me and three buddies just 2 days ago. It's unbelievable that nobody was hurt or charged. Haha! I think all my friends and I stopped aging somewhere in our twenties. If you're still interested I'll set about typing it. Gotta do a patrol first.

I passed around this petiton earlier. (or i just made it in 3 minutes)

Okay here we go...

The city had been experiencing some beautiful weather the past couple of days and about an hour before the end of my shift the cell phone rings. It's my buddy Jon. He likes to use the label "motherf**ker" a lot so we'll use the abbreviation from this point on. He informs me he's got Dan and Rob with him (more old friends) and the car is stocked. What the hell. I've got nothing planned and I could use a couple of drinks to relax. Big mistake. By around 3:00 AM I'm feeling very relaxed and we decide to cruise over to one of the larger city parks for another pit stop. Jon spots a fox (yes a fox) and with speed I didn't know that drunk bum had he bolts from the car and disappears into the surrounding bush. We can't see him but can hear braches and small saplings being broken (along with multiple profanities) as he gives chase. Eventually he returns all depressed and looking like some wild man with leaves and crap hanging from his hair. After a few more belts Jon gets the brilliant idea to go off-roading... in a street vehicle. I'm not sure where we went but I know he broke through some yellow tape they normally put up to keep people out. "Jon, maybe you should find the road..." I warily say to him. "Who needs a road MF? I'm Evil Knievel!" No sooner has he spoken and the car launches skyward and then nose dives into a duck pond. Jon is in good shape but Rob can be classified as fat. Jon bounces off the steering wheel giving himself a black eye and cut lip. "Owww... blood MF" Jon moans. Rob's entire bulk flew up and flattened against the windshield like a giant pancake cracking it. Neither of 'em had their seatbelts on. Dan and I were in the back killing ourselves laughing.

It gets better if you want me to continue. Grabbing some lunch.

lollerskates!

Eat yourself some lunch, but you know you can't stop a story at "the car flew into a pond."

Ha ha, that's definitely true. Done with lunch yet??

To pass the time, I'll utilize this thread for what it's for really quickly-- I finally reached level 10! This is my first post and my first glance at what it feels like to have a boxing glove...

Aha, much relief! I didn't think it was much to get offended over, but I've been surprised before.

Second thoughts? You know my love is true, you can even ask our adopted child Rufus.

No. That asshole took on Cloud with that big black cat thing of his and ran away when he was about to lose. He's a coward of man.

Are you kidding man? You're always so humble with your awesome stories. I haven't been disappointed with anything you've written yet!

Looks like some of you want me to continue. I've got a full cup of coffee and one hour before my next sweep (barring any unexpected alarms). Let's see if I can finish this little adventure in the next post.

Rob's bloated body peels itself away from the windshield and falls back to the car seat like a beer sodden bag of shit. Jon continues to moan about his fat lip and black eye, still oblivious of the fact that he almost became Vancouver's newest U-boat commander. "Anybody hurt?" Dan and I ask simultaneously. A few imperceptible curses confirm no serious injuries. "Move your fat ass Rob" I bark. "Let's see what the meatball this time." Pushing my way past Robs butt, Dan and I crawl out (without getting wet) to find the front of the car submerged up to the engine. "Jon give me your cell phone and keys" Dan says. Jon vehemently refuses, attempts to get out and pitches forward, catching himself at the last second. "Plunk" There goes the cell phone. "Plunk" There goes the keys. More curses erupt from Jon as he loses his grip again and lands head first in the pond. Leaning back Rob starts laughing at Jon, forgetting that Dan and I have already exited via his door. Rob does a backward summersault into the water most Olympic divers would be proud of. Jon & Rob crawl ashore and lay there laughing completely drenched. Without a word Dan jumps into the water to look for the keys and I follow his lead. Within minutes we find the keys and the cell phone but the phone was making some really weird noises and flashing like some cheap neon sign. Toasted. After a brief discussion with Dan we decide the best course of action is to split with the keys and maybe they'd follow.

Almost done. I can finish this in the next post. Promise!

*looks at watch and awaits conclusion*

Where is everyone anyway?

Yadjmir, I remember the feeling of getting my first boxing glove. Have fun with it.

Congrats to Yadjmir for getting to level 10 and to Recon for making me laugh.

Doing things in real life? It has been a slow day for Wi/Ht.

Getting anything (good) after months of dedication makes you feel great. It's also a good icon, but the level 12 one is much better.

Indeed it is. *evil laughte*
Btw, I either missed your comment on it or you haven't said anything about it. What are your thoughts on your brass knuckles MrX?

Leaving the two drunks behind, Dan and I (who are likewise intoxicated) start to head back to his place on foot (we're still in the bush remember) but not before I happen to find a case of beer sitting all by it's lonesome in the trunk of the car (heh). After reaching the road I look over at Dan and without a single word we ditch the remaining beer in a safe spot (yeah we had a couple) and begin the long hike back to the car. Talking about the possible consequences of the night's events we return to find Jon and Rob gone. "What the... Where did they go?" A few seconds later we hear muffled laughter and locate the source. Peering through misty windows we find the two idiots are back inside the car (front end still in the pond) drinking and smoking like nothing's happened. Opening the door (and scaring the hell out of Rob) I ask "Are you guys really this stupid or just making an extra effort tonight?" "Give me my keys MF, it's cold", Jon grumbles. "I want to turn on the heater." Suddenly hearing the lonely wail of sirens in the distance we implore Jon & Rob to come with us. "We're running out of time guys" I say sternly. "I'm not leaving the car MF" is Jon's response. "I just installed a new back bumper." With that Dan and I split (a second time) and make it back without any incidents. Jon took a cab home and big Rob somehow walked all the way to U.B.C. Too bad he lives in the opposite direction. The car was towed and listed as abandoned. He got it back the next day although I'm not sure what shape it's in. I heard the back bumper fell off.

If every part of this story is true, then I can't wait to be 40 and experience such calamity. Recon, you need to start sharing your experiences with us more often bud. Thanks for tonights entertainment.

I checked my posts and I said I didn't really care for them. And I still don't. To me it's just a boring level icon, but I am looking forward to most of the level icons ahead of me, including that glove you have. Trade?

Recon, just read your last part of the story. It was a great read and I would suggest to anyone who hasn't read it yet to go back to the previous page.

If we don't hear from gfox in the next couple of days I'll start sending the Wi/Ht? members e-mail reminders to "cast your vote". It's the least I can do for him seeing as I made such a big stink about missing the last election.

Well yeah i guess i could be, but i don't think that fit the requirements of this club (kinda) and i'm not exactly what you would call popular (because you do have to be a bit to get in). But i shall still hope, and thanks for the comfort of not knowing my destiny as it were :-P

Well that was the general idea, but when she said 'lose my virginity' she meant 'cook my dinner'. But they are kinda similar if you know what i mean.

I´ll allways level up first in the badge. Now is the first time I need 1000 but I allready got about 200 of it, 800 to go and if you remember I have plenty of time thanks to my holiday ;)

How do you get experience points, because I haven't gotten past 30 yet. By posting or by reviewing, or both???

I did that NG rank thing whith my blam points and guess what I got:

0.26546... blams a DAY! lol.

The reason is: I´ve been here about 2 years but I started really visiting NG few months ago. That really pulls my rank down :P

Blams: 12.339

Man... my blams has gone down quite a bit. I used to be at 18+ and aiming for 20.

I'd do that, but the figures will be skewed massively due to me having an account since 2000, but not really using it much until 2003...

I bet many do, but not me! I've been here for 191.something days according to the calculator (posts/posts per day), but I'll just round it up to 192 to make things easier. And now for the stats:
Exp-10.2083 (I haven't missed any deposits+30exp bonus for signing up)
Reviews-0.0677
Blams-43.0104
Saves-16 (no decimals)
B/S-59.0104
Being new, my ____ per day will look good now, or after I go on a ___ing spree. I.E., I need a few more b/s per day for 2 weeks and I can get over 60B/S per day. Users who signed up much earlier may have to get over 100 per day for months just to get 60 per day.
