Neat. Reminds me of Dan Paladin's art.

So what do you do in that game?

Its okay, i personally thought it was abit plain, but it's hard to make textures with just flash :P. I'll try and improve it, thanks for the opinions :D. Your sig is great btw, very hypnotic :).

I am a lawyer, not.

Yay, my jerk-off friend managed to get himself wrapped up in some heavy shit recently. Tonight, instead of getting wasted, I get to go out and pretend to be his lawyer. I don't know alot about law, but I took a couple classes and I'm a great bull-shitter, so I think I can mange. Besides, I like to think of it as a great acting job.

There's a chance that tomorrow I won't be nearly as pretty as I am today though, which is just a shame. In honor of my face, I thought I'd show you all the man behind MRat. I shaved off my curly moustache before this... yes... that's why it's gone.

Enjoy, feel free to fap.

I was just wondering, does anybody know what happened to Cook? His site is still up but it hasn't been updated in ages. I miss him :(

Who is going to believe that? You look like you just got your first pubes.

I would at least dumb it down a bit and say you're still in school, and you haven't passed the bar yet but you're able to give legal advice.

If you came up to me and told me you were a lawyer, I'd probably laugh at you. Anyone with half a mind knows that Eight years of law school will make most starting lawyers 26 or so, and you really don't look a day over 20.

Just some advice. =) I'd dumb it down a hair if the situation allows it. From dealing with lawyers way more times than I'd like to remember, I've learned some things.

Remember, if someone wants to bring someone to trial, remind them of the obscene cost and time of trials just to prove they were right. Let them know how much of a pain it will be and how, in the long run, they would have been better off to swallow their pride.

RE: I am a lawyer, not.

Yeah, I don't think a 17 year old lawyer is pretty believable. I'm hoping you weren't drunk when you offered to do that.

Mind your own business

my post was purposefully one line to make a point. I've just been studying his posts and no matter what the thread is his posts are like one liners that are usually very forgettable and rather just take up space. It would be my new years resolution if i was him to think about my responses to threads before posting. its particularly problematic here because this thread is once again heading into spamfest '93

RE: Spam

Please PM me for a response like that. You just did exactly what i said was wrong. Nobody needs to see that one-liner because its a kind of response that nobody can follow up. Someone cant read it and jump in and contribute to the topic and engage the community that reads this thread. Therefore its more or less useless here. You are better off just PMing that person and continuing your one-on-one discussion there. This is a forum, not a chatroom.

please dont respond if your gonna say something like. Okay. or i apoligize. thnx.
Youre just contributing to the problem rather than making it better. Your post was deleted.

No, because that's not irony. It's "hypocricy." Funny coincidences or sayings or events that contridict themselves are NOT irony. Damnit! Every other day someone is saying "How ironic!" No... "How fucking coincidental!"

"My game didn't make it in the portal and it was good, but that shitty one did. Oh, the irony!"
No...
"Hey, funny for you to be at the mall the same time as me! How ironic!"
No...how coincidental.

Like that Alanis Morriset song.... "Ironic" NOTHING in the song is a correct use of the word irony... but, the entire song is ironic because by naming a song "ironic" and doing nothing but stating coicidences... she has created a song that overall, is ironic.

Please guys.... please.. (Not picking on you Rammer, you just kind of brought it up) refrain from using the word irony or ironic until you fully understand the definition. Even the definition can be confusing, so be careful.

Waits for the first person to say "Don't you think Johnny's post was ironic because I was thinking the same thing?"

Listen to George Carlin's skit on Irony. He clarifies it perfectly.

Time Management

I can't manage my time, between sports, homework, school, flash, music, and video games... any tips? Lately I've not been doing my homework at all, I still need to do homework that's due the day after tomorow -_-

Tattoos

So, first the plan was to get tattoos on Friday. This didn't work out because it was after 10 and all the local places seem to close at 8. So then me and some friends were going to do it yesterday, but one friend was busy till 7, leaving little time for tattooing before 8. So my one friend was so excited about the idea she said that she was going to get one today, no matter what. I really have my doubts, as I did from the very beginning.

You know now people like to come up with crazy little ideas that they never execute. Anytime I ever mention tattoos on the BBS people act like its the worst idea ever. Like how could anyone ever have something permanently put on them. I really could care less if I had a tattoo. If I ended up not liking it I could have it covered up or removed.

New Years Celebrations

Some people seem to act like its over, but its only 4:30 in the afternoon here. I don't even know if I'm going out but its a strong possibility. What about the rest of you? What have you done or will you do?

Welcome to being a grown up! (Even though its a bit early for you....)

This is generally what I do. It's all about creating and sticking to schedules, inserting "free time" into the schedule so you can give yourself the illusion of spontininity.

7:10- Roll out of bed fast as hell to get dressed and be at work by 7:30.
7:40- Arrive at work. Clock in. Pretend I was there on time. Find someone with a cigarette.
11:30- Take a nap during my lunch out to catch up from lack of sleep at night.
12:30- Back to work...half asleep, working heavy equiptment on busy streets.
4:00- Leave work.
4:10- Get home, check emails, forums, stat pages, browse porn.
5:00- Shower.
5:30- GF comes home. Listen to my GF compain about work while she cooks me dinner.
6:00- Eat while listening to more complaints and watching something on HGTV to calm her.
6:30- Check school assignments, last minute to decide what to do with my night.
7:00- Smoke Weed. Zone out.
8:00- Remember that I was checking school assignments.
8:30- Begin working on some assignments. (4 days a week, other 3 days work on programs)
11:30- Get fed up with school, came down from my high. Leave house. Search for Coffee.
12:00- Local diner. Coffee and some kind of programming book.
1:30am- Leave diner. Go to friends house. Play video games.
4:00am- Leave friends house, get home. Check emails, forums, stat pages. Browse porn.
5:00am- Go up and go to sleep.
7:10am- Roll out of bed, late... repeat.

If you don't have a schedule for youself like that, you'll drive yourself crazy trying to squeeze everything in. Sometimes I'll use the 8:30-11:30 slot for free time, for video games, programming, hanging out with friends if all of my other school shit is done. I'll also do a slight modification where I leave the diner at 12:30 after getting a fast cup of coffee and using the 12:30-4am slot for free time for games, movies and the like.

Hope you look forward to growing up!

Really? I have 3 pretty large ones already on me and 7 more on paper to finish off my one sleave and my back... just searching for funds.

If they think its stupid... fuck um. It's not their shell, it's yours. Decorate it however you want. If someone comes in and tells me they don't like the paint on the walls in my office, its the same thing.

"That's nice... it's mine. Go away"

You just have to be cautious about their location if you want to get a job in a professional enviroment. Personally, I wouldn't work somewhere, regardless of money, if they made me take my piercings out or get my ink removed.

The way I see it is every tattoo is a memory of how I was thinking in that point in my life.

When I got the Jester with the paintball guns on the back of my neck, I was into paintball, hardcore. I don't play much anymore, but that's cool.

It's kind of like a scrapbook you can carry around with you.

I see you're in Jersey... but I don't recognize the town. How far out of Philly are you? There are some really nice places on South Street if you want to make a day out of it.

Three huge posts by Johnny in this thread in little time. None of the other topics interest me.

Irony..and pet peeves

Sorry, but irony is a funny things. The definitions are fairly diverse. But there is one that seems to cover coincidences.

5. an outcome of events contrary to what was, or might have been, expected.

Now you might think of that as a coincidence...like when the guy who has a flash that is blammed while another guy's isn't when the first guys is better. That WOULD be irony. Because this is a coincidence:

1. a striking occurrence of two or more events at one time apparently by mere chance

It is really not chance that makes the event noteworthy as much as it that it was the opposite of what would be expected.

Meeting someone at the mall you didn't know would be there...that IS a coincidence, unless they never go to the mall, then it is irony. Because it would be an outcome that would not be expecting, because why would you expect to see your friend at the mall if they never go.

Who will you guys/girls be kissing as the year ends? can it be me :(?

See, you're confused too. Irony has NOTHING to do with humor. Thought not an absolute source, Wikipedia has a decent definition of it. Hell, typing in "misuse of the word irony" into google could keep you busy for a year.

The most common use of the word irony (which is generally situational or cosmic irony) is that Irony is a SHARP incongruity between our expectation of an outcome and what actually occurs
Masterswordsman posting a one liner.
Luis complaining about a one liner with a one liner..
Someone stating the irony.

Definitely not irony.

In the other example about meeting someone at the mall...even if they never go there, not really irony.

If you say to yourself before hand...

"Crap, joe is coming over and I really don't feel like hanging out with that douche. Let's go to the mall. He's never there." And you meet him there because he decided not to come over.... Great irony. By trying to avoid him, you ran into him.

Some coincidences can be ironic. Steve Irwins death for example. Picture perfect case of Irony.

Its all about the unexpected parellels. Not the humor...

Tattoos

I think tattoos are awesome. I dont have any yet but i do plan on getting some when i decide to sit down and actually design one. I think to me, i feel a necesity to design it myself or not getting one at all.

I was actually looking to become a tattoo artist before i found flash. Hah my parents used to roll their eyes at me everytime i suggested it.

Anyway, tattoos are a very personal experience and i think if you love it then do it.

Time Management

Well im not really a martyr of time management. To be honest I made it through school and college doing things at the last possible minute. I really love it though. I love the pressure of pulling off an allnighter and sort of defying the norms of school. It always worked out for me so anyone who says sooner or later itll catch up to you is full of shit. Some people can do it and actually work better in hard conditions.

btw masturbation is priority 1 here on newgrounds.

Tattoos

I agree with Luis, tattoos can be great. Although some are just shit. Ones of quotes/images from TV Shows are just pointless, and odd, but there are some really amazing ones. Could we see the one you design Luis, it'll be good to see an original one for once :P.

Also, this thread is really starting to confuse my basic mind. I know at least one of the groups are alts, but who? My guess is, it is a virus, why else would there be no screen shots of the program, Newgrounds Links for persuasion and a bad layout. Anyway, I'm not trying to backseat mod, i just wish i could get an answer from a person i trust :P.

Re: Time Management

This is my usual schedule.

7:00 a.m.-Get up, get ready.
7:50-Go to school.
2:35 p.m.-Come home, do whatever.
10:00-Go to bed.

On weekends its just "do whatever" all day.

Dumb German Hooligans

First off, I shave my pubes, so I could actually look like I just gettin' 'em, Johhny!

It worked, so I guess I can pull off a lawyer regardless of appearence. There were some sparks, but the guys seemed pretty intimidated by the short guy with the scraggly beard and suit (me), so it wasn't bad. One asshole threw a punch at my friend, but it was handled well enough, and no one was hurt. The big thing was not wiping away any make-up. We had my make-up artist for when I'm on stage try to age me a little. It looked lame, but I guess these fellows didn't notice.

As for the years as a lawyer; In Germany, you needn't attend law school to attempt the bar. I don't know if this is true for anyone else. I'm not German, but I passed as a Englishman who's apprenticing over here in Heinsberg. I don't actually think the firm I referenced exists, but the hoodlums bought it.

So there it is, all controvery cleared up.

Tatoos

I designed a Fleur de Lis/Maple Leaf fusion thing for my bicep so that I can have the whole French Canadian/English Canadian thing. I havn't the balls to have it done yet, though. I plan on it, I just need to grow a pair for it first.

Maybe soon though, maybe,

New Years Kisses

I'd be lucky to get a glance from a lady-type this evening. I looked like a total douchebag. It's sad, I don't ever get a New Years smooch. Oh well, I'll pay some chick in Amsterdam for more than a kiss later.

Re: New Years Kisses

Well, there's always 'me mom. I'm really doing absolutely nothing tonight, and I've only been kissed by some other girl... well, once I think. So, put simply, no kisses for me.
