Worst Band....your Thoughts?
Sparq replied to Corrinshwa's topic in Music In General: David Bowie Appreciation Station
Thank you. It recently came to my (much surprised) attention that I hate Pearl Jam, with the exception of Do The Evolution. Not the worst by far of course, I just thought I'd mention it. -
Could be worse. Maybe will be. Read Jennifer Government.

;) You forgot the 22" chrome spinners. You can't have an electric love cruise wagon without spinners. Edit: I'm liking the ads.

I got mine at Chapters. Right off the shelf. They had like three of them. See if they can order it?
-
Oh burn! Also, what the hell is that thing?
-
Yes. Though your story was indeed funny, it wasn't quite THAT funny.
-
Hmmm....that is a very interesting idea...

I'm glad someone is ;)

The following is meaningless and for most of you will be entirely uninteresting. My last post was number 1911, which is that golden year wherein the coveted Colt 1911 automatic pistol and .45 ACP bullet caliber were introduced. The weapon has served many users faithfully for nearly a century, and remains my favourite basic design. Way to go, little guy. Edit: WUAHAHAHAHAA! Etc.

Long time indeeeeed! In all serious...ness? ...I'm not allergic to anything that I know of. They once mistakenly diagnosed an allergy to penicilin, however. That would have been fun.

...well that's a cheery thought. You were allegedly passed out by then anyway.

Achtung. 12? I'd say she was at LEAST 14. At least. Edit: Ugghhh

Have You Ever Considered A Career In The Military?
Sparq replied to ecnarf's topic in Politics and Debate: WRONG!
Yep...the Leo C2s have been modernised. The new turret carries the same gun the Abrams uses (smoothbore 120mm last I heard). Another thing...MGS with the same gun cannot fire the anti-tank sabot rounds. It wrenches the turret off its rings. -

Destruction gets a bad reputation. It can be as much an art form as anything else. And at least for me, there is a certain grim facination associated with the tools of war. I had initially looked at Artillery and Armoured as well (basically any combat trade other than basic infantry), but this was at the time where some high level decision maker, in his infinite wisdom, decided to decomission the perfectly good Leopard tanks we have in favour of overpriced, under-armoured, under-armed, less mobile LAVIII MGS systems with the explanation that tires scare the locals less than treads. Welcome to the kinder, gentler army of the future. They can't fit the Leos on our cargo planes either, true, but they can just BARELY get an MGS on, and we don't have that many Hercules' to begin with. We ship the things by sea anyway. They should have done like the Aussies and bought used American Abrams tanks and more Hercs or a few Starlifters. IF they really had to replace those Leos... But I digress. Actually no I don't, because I don't have any topic to get back to. -

Yes. Air Force. Initially as a way to get free pilot training (helicopters, since that costs technically $40,000 and in all practicality, $1,000,000). I'm not qualified for that, but I started looking at the Army instead. Some of the Combat trades actually, particularly Combat Engineering. Putting it crudely enough to make myself sound like a stereotypical grunt...I wanted to get paid to blow shit up. At any rate, I ended up giving college a second chance. I don't know whether I regret it or not. Yet. -
The sun has gone out. Neutrino observatories worldwide have found less neutrino radiation than should be present were the sun's core in fact generating its normal fusion reaction. Sunspots are at an all-time recorded high. As it cools, it will contract enough to restart that internal fusion and heat up again, exanding once more. It is a cycle. The earth is headed toward its ice age for that reason, and greenhouse gas is the only thing currently keeping it warm enough to be easily survivable. Well, probably not. But it is a theory, and the potentially factual basis of an otherwise fictional book I read at work the other day. Basically: Misguided environmentalism destroys the Earth and leads to an age of advancing glaciers and state technophobia. Warming, cooling, nobody here will be alive long enough to die from it. The bandits/cannibals/slavers will get you before the cold does. And famine and pestilence will get you before rising seas do. This is going to be an interesting few decades. And hopefully the last.

What are you listening to?
Sparq replied to Matt's topic in Music In General: David Bowie Appreciation Station
Godhead - Fade Away -
intermission /end intermission They better not screw this up. A while back I heard they were working on a Battletech (Mechwarrior, or Mech Assault for you x-box fans) movie as well. I've always hoped that was wrong...they already butchered the cartoon adaptation, I can only imagine what kind of abomination they'd make out of a live action movie.

Get all up in their faces with some classic Reznor. NIN for the win. EDIT: Also, way off topic apparently.

Ohhh kayy. Favourite...hm. Quake II.
