Here is the glest story of the day.

The sun rises, a new day has begun. The Technics an ancient race and they have studied mechanics for a long time and are now masters at making machines and automations to help them in their day to day activities.But little do the Technics know. Another race of people dwells atop the mountains. A race of war people, Who dwell in cave.
They spotted the peaceful village of Technics.
They are called, The cave men.
The cave men are running out of caves to live in and antelope to hunt, so ten brave cave men have gone south, closer to the Technics, to search for new places to live.
So the 10 brave cave men set up a camp in the Vally.
And sent 4 scouts in different directions to look for danger.
Each scout took a bow and a battle axe.
The average cave man was over 8 feet tall, And could go up to 12 feet.
One of the scouts, heading southeast, noticed an especially large cave about 200 yards away, and went to investigate. In the cave, he found a spring of water and a secret crawl space hidden by vines, He went down. He thought he heard a whirring sound as he grappled with the slippery vines.
Meanwhile down at the peaceful village of Technics, a boy had wondered off to the south, and was nearing the camp of cave men. One of the Cavemen found the boy and took him to his home/cave. As for the scout in the cave, he starts to explore the secret space and finds a tunnel going deep underground.The scout went into the tunnel and it started broadening out, then he saw a huge spider web, with thousands of flies, bugs, and even bats stuck in it. They were all whirring and buzing, and the spider web strands were as big as ropes! A spider starts to approach the scout, it was a huge thing. you could see each and every hair on its hairy body and smell the foul reek of its poison. The scout was terrified, he thought the spider was going to kill him. just when he thought the spider would strike a blue streak of lighting scorches the spider which bursts and sends its bodily juices everywhere. The spider slinks into the darkness, screeching. The caveman looks up, but sees only the ceiling of the cave, then he looks for any way lightning could have struck the spider, he could find none. In his desperate attempt to find a way out of this ghastly cave, the caveman stumbles and falls through some kind of stone tube. As he gets up from his fall down the tube he notices a faint blue light. Curious he follows it through a large opening and finds himself on the edge of a huge and magnificent city. Night had fallen, and burning pyres of flames leapt from torches. A magic feel whisped through the air, and the caveman felt himself drawn into the power of the city. Then he realizes a figure is standing before him, the figure has a black cloke draped around him and his face is green and slimy, he has long fangs and a sword glowing blue in his claw. Hello hissis the figure his 2 long fangs dribbling dark green poison Welcome to the majestic city. You have come with out permission sssss and now you must die, the creature swung at the caveman but missed, the caveman charged and punched the creature. It flew through the air, whacked off a rock and landed on the ground. Slithering up again it made a loud long bone chilling shriek and lifted his sword and a blue streak of lighting flies out and forms a shield around the creature. All the movement in the city shows that more of them are coming...

No, regardless of whether you own Microsoft Office, the download allows you to open formats which you might not be able to, unless you get the premium Office version.

Gosh so many people are trying to correct me ;D!  I thought the list of formats it could open was pretty impressive, so I linked to that.

I just played this last night, and I thought it was a pretty interesting take on game making, one where there is only one level, played over and over in very different ways.  You'll see what I mean.

That's what I was getting it.  I was just poking fun at your conditional statement that actually doesn't depend on anything. :P

Definitely creative.  But the music is super annoying.

Found this nice site for sayings people might put in their signatures here.

Two things:
1. My mediafire is not working, and i see that gAMeboy's isn't either.  I have begun using Imageshack.  Are there any suggestions or complaints?  They have to be free cause I'm cheap.  ;D
2. On Monday I started something where every week I post a new quote on my signature.  If you can tell me who said it, you can choose the next quote.  P.M. me if you have it with three lines-who said it, the next quote and who said it.  If you are correct, I will post the new quote.

Bad grammar kills.
LOL, this is priceless. Here's a few:

'I plan on living forever, so far, so good'

'Make something idiot proove, and someone will find a better idiot'

'I'm trying to see things from your point of view but I can't get my head that far up my ass'

'You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say, "I'm fantastic in bed." That's Direct Marketing. You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous girl. One of your friends goes up to her, and pointing at you says, "He's fantastic in bed." That's Advertising.
You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and get her telephone number. The next day you call and say, "Hi, I'm fantastic in bed." That's Telemarketing. You're at a party and see a gorgeous girl. You get up and straighten your tie, walk up to her and pour her a drink. You open the door for her, pick up her bag after she drops it, offer her a ride, and then say, "By the way, I'm fantastic in bed." That's Public Relations. You're at a party and see a gorgeous girl.

3:-According to most efficient POLICE METHOD:-Catch a CAT and torture it till it agrees that its the TIGER.'

'When you go into court you are putting your fate into the hands of twelve people who weren’t smart enough to get out of jury duty'



Imageshack.us is the BEST! I use it for all my images. Seriously, it doesn't get any better than that. Unless you are some nut uploading multi-petrabyte pictures of the world to scale, this should cover everything.

I am a bit frustrated with mediafire lately too, but this is because of uploader woes, which unfortunately seem more linked to my internet than my site.

BTW, I found this good joke the other day. It cracked me up, though the easily offended or strongly religious might be offended by it. Take heed:

A married woman is having an affair. Whenever her lover comes over, she puts her nine year old son in the
closet.
One day the woman hears a car in the driveway and puts her lover in the closet, as well.
Inside the closet, the little boy says, "It's dark in here, isn't it?"
"Yes it is," the man replies.
"You wanna buy a baseball?" the little boy asks.
"No thanks," the man replies.
"I think you do want to buy a baseball," the little extortionist continues.
"OK. How much?" the man replies after considering the position he was in.
"Twenty-five dollars," the little boy replies.
"TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS?!" the man repeats. "That's awful expensive", but because of the position he was in,
agreed to the price.
The following week, the lover is visiting the woman again when she hears a car in the driveway and, again,
places her lover in the closet with her little boy.
"It's dark in here, isn't it?" the boy starts off.
"Yes it is," replies the man.
"Wanna buy a baseball glove?" the little boy asks.
"OK. How much?" the hiding lover responds, acknowledging his dis-advantage.
"Fifty dollars," the boy replies and the transaction is completed.
The next weekend, the little boy's father says, "Hey, son. Go get your ball and glove and we'll play some catch."
"I can't. I sold them," replies the little boy.
"How much did you get for them?" asks the father, expecting to hear the profit in terms of lizards and candy.
"Seventy-five dollars," the little boy says.
"SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLARS?! That's thievery! I'm taking you to the church right now. You must confess your sin
and ask for forgiveness,"
the father explains as he hauls the child away.
At the church, the little boy goes into the confessional, draws the curtain, sits down, and says "It's dark in here,
isn't it?"
"Don't you start that crap in here," the priest says.

Where to begin? Okay, so last night my landlord accused me of being racist because I don't want to talk to him and he happens to be Indian. Then he told me has was going to break my neck. Maybe that's why I don't wanna talk to you, eh? Also, he doesn't have the money to pay me back my full deposit. I've had some bad landlords before, but this is the first to actually tell me he was going to murder me.  *sigh*

Try not to get killed, if at all possible.  I'm not in favor of death :P.

Last night was hell for me.  I had sulfer burps, which is pretty much the most nasty thing I can think of, and I was throwing up at 1:00 in the morning.  Then I went back to sleep, and woke up at 3:00 in the morning, and threw up even worse.  My stomach contracted so hard that the "stuff" went through my nose.  The stomach acid irritated my nose, and I sneezed about 30 times, literally.  But the best part about throwing up is how you feel afterward.

Sulfer burps is caused by a bacteria that sometimes lives in your stomach/intestines.  But it's favorite food is sugar and meats.  Yesterday, I made a dessert and subsequently ate about half of it.  So the germs had a party in my stomach; I barfed.

Ok......
I didn't sleep at all last night but tonight I fell asleep for 2-4 hours after a filling of pancakes this afternoon, I have my friend over at my Dads house. Right now I'm typing this, my friend is sound asleep on the floor, and my Dad is scratching his foot in his sleep.

Wow what a day/night!

Moving on, I have a question, don't you guys hate it when you are having a great dream and then wake up? You can never get that dream back (although bad ones come back pretty easily).

For example, I once had a dream of meeting the 'perfect girl'... Hmm, I'm going back to sleep... :(

Lolz!

OMG, I can't believe this is for real!!! Too good! :D :D :D

*chuckle*

Maybe I'll give one of these pros my shirt. Or Perhaps I'll just scale everest myself... *looks WAY up* ... On second thought, lets just stick with the basement *barfs from fear of heights*

Joke of the day:

While visiting England, George Bush is invited to tea with the Queen. He asks her what her leadership
philosophy is. She says that it is to surround herself with intelligent people.
Bush asks how she knows if they're intelligent.
"I do so by asking them the right questions," says the Queen. "Allow me to demonstrate."
Bush watches as the Queen phones Tony Blair and says, "Mr. Prime Minister, please answer this question: your
mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or sister. Who is it?"
Tony Blair responds, "It's me, ma'am."
"Correct. Thank you and good-bye, sir," says the Queen. She hangs up and says, "Did you get that, Mr. Bush?"
Bush nods: "Yes ma'am. Thanks a lot. I'll definitely be using that!"
Bush, upon returning to Washington, decides he'd better put the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee to the test. Bush summons Dick Lugar to the White House and says, "Senator Lugar, I wonder if you
can answer a question for me."
"Why, of course, sir. What's on your mind?"
Bush poses the question: "Uhh, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your
brother or your sister. Who is it?"
Lugar hems and haws and finally asks, "Can I think about it and get back to you?"
Bush agrees, and Lugar leaves. He immediately calls a meeting of other senior Republican senators, and they
puzzle over the question for several hours, but nobody can come up with an answer. Finally, in desperation,
Lugar calls Rice at the State Department and explains his problem.
"Now lookee here, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or your
sister. Who is it?"
Rice answers immediately, "It's me, of course."
Much relieved, Lugar rushes back to the White House, finds George Bush, and exclaims, "I know the answer,
sir! I know who it is! It's Condoleezza Rice!"
And Bush replies in disgust, "Wrong, you dumb shit, it's Tony Blair!"

I noticed old topics (10 pages old) have something in the bottom of the post that says

"« Last Edit: December 31, 1969, 07:00:00 PM by [user] »"  (Obviously it doesn't say [user] but it says the name of the posts author.)

I am assuming that this has to do with one of the Database crash, but I am confused as to why it says 1969.

I personally find it rather amusing.  :D
