  1. I don't really see a reason to answer the questions in a lying manner to be conventional or go with the crowd... *shrug*
  2. I seriously dare someone to eat a koala now.
  3. LMFAO. Maybe those people should stop thinking that Facebook is a substitute for an actual hobby. It's not supposed to cure your boredom. And most of the song was complaining about applications, which has nothing to do with being bored. In fact, the intent of applications is to provide an even bigger distraction for less boredom (not that I like them - blech). That said, it was a pretty good Billy Joel spoof. ;)
  4. Banana Split Haagen Dazs. Oooh my tummy.
  5. I find them to be quite entertaining, if a little long-winded. RJ is a military man, so that may explain some of his style... Sometimes the descriptions of things get heavy and bogged down, but they offer a lot of foreshadowing in the minutia that saves you from having to reread them or go back and check things out (although rereading is pretty inevitable if you find you like them). I think he's great at dialogue and characterization, showing emotion, etc. (sort of a feminist though, hah!). The story is pretty generic in the sense that one guy is prophesied to go up against the big baddie, but it's an immensely deep story when it comes down to it - there's science fiction elements when referencing previous ages (they have flying cars, shocklances, etc.), a pretty believable magic system, crazy connections and twists, and allusions to our current time: "Among the stories told of this Age include those of the giants Mosk and Merk, who fought with spears of fire, and Elsbet, the Queen of the World and her sister Anla, known as the Wise Counselor." "Other stories from the Age of of Legends include Lenn, who travelled to the moon in the belly of a fiery eagle, and his daughter Salya, said to have walked among the stars." --"Mosk" would be Moscow, "Merk" would be America, "spears of fire" would be nuclear missiles, "Elsbet" would be [Queen] Elizabeth, "Anla" would be advice columnist Ann Landers, "Lenn" would be astronaut John Glenn, and "Salya" would be astronaut/teacher Sally Ride. There's also a story of a dude sitting under a tree for a long time named Gatma or something, which I'm pretty sure is Siddhartha Gautama, among other things. Pretty hard to keep track of all the balls if you know what I mean (lots of characters doing different things at the same time..), but at least the names aren't as hard as Tolkein. If you're pronouncing them correctly, on the other hand, it's troublesome as fuck (if you read any appendix to the series, it explains that pronunciations differ in the language of where the book is set). I'm about done with book 4 of 11, soon to be out of 12 -finished by Brandon Sanderson since RJ died of amyloidosis late last year. ;) I'd definitely recommend it, but I can see where someone would think it's just TOO MUCH. I talk about it with my friends who read it, so that eases the intensity.
  6. Lol yes, I do. I have a Futurama calendar right next to me.
  7. Sounds scary. Or a lot like a drug deal. ;)
  8. That the special booklet for AOB? You seem like quite the fan. o.<
  9. This sucks for the acoustic tour! I'm glad I didn't get tickets, because he might be sick for a while.
  10. Fucking sweet! You just added another log to my stoked-ness. Yeah, it's just an M and G. In fact, it more looks like toddler squiggles. ;)
  11. 10/10 because you're a POKEMASTER and it's funny to always see you get interrupted in this thread. ;)
  12. Indeed. Take, for example, the recent comments about Obama winning "boutique... latte-sipping states." (Original Citation: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/worl...null&offset=12) It's hilarious because Hillary is often seen drinking Starbucks (http://cache.viewimages.com/xc/51493432.jpg?v=1&c=ViewImages&k=2&d=17A4AD9FDB9CF1939847EC77F5F8D1CEC60E2FB0985FF5CBA40A659CEC4C8CB6) and she won New York and California (uhhmm San Francisco, anyone?). So Obama won Washington, where Starbucks was created, but how are the recent additions Mississippi and Wyoming falling into this category? Another Clintonian adviser, Joel Ferguson, said that second class delegates are those who live in red states because those states won't vote democratic in the general election. Now, does all of this mean Hillary only likes the people in the states she wins (or even more minimally - deal breaking states), or does she like America as a whole? I'm thinkin' she's doing this for her, she's doing it to win and be the best. She's not doing it for the American people. Discuss. Aside from recent news about Samantha Power, Ferraro, Pelosi's strange remarks about the "dream-ticket," Mark Penn, and Governor Rendell, I found this: http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles...ogram_disputed/
  13. ??? Is there some secret that we all should know about these tours? To the peanut gallery: I don't really want anything signed, as my preorder copies of WLRARR and Hospital Music are signed, but what is the likelihood of him taking a picture with someone?
  14. The fact that we just copied them the way they were and also didn't outwardly question the context (although we may have thought it) probably stems from our laziness and want to just take a quiz out of boredom. ;) As per the animals, you're right. And even if you could hear them and they could understand you, who knows if they would be intelligent enough to do what you say? Or what if they were just being ornery and didn't want to? You'd have to make them do it by force, which puts you in the same place as someone who can't talk to animals. It really wouldn't benefit you at all, that I know of, but it would be kinda cool. And I was assuming that you're a guest in their head - you have all of the same skills and knowledge so you could carry out their deeds, but it's your memory and your consciousness. That would be the most badass way to be someone for a day, anyway. I don't know how he does it. And none of them are even that hot.
  15. I use the pirate bay to search for torrents, but then again my boyfriend has a premium rapidshare account so torrents are obsolete...
  16. 10/10 for being a good navigator. I DON'T SMILE BIATCH!
  17. Goodness. o.O SEXXXY. I love looking hot at funerals. You can shack up with the corpse. lmao jk.
  18. Great minds think alike! I last had.. a creme-filled donut. ;)
  19. 8/10 because I searched for "recipe" and found no distinct answer: http://www.nearfantastica.com/bored/index....highlite=recipe Thanks, though. ;)
  20. * Be 15 minutes late to everything, or be an hour early to everything? From Copas -- I would rather be an hour early, but that's not gonna happen. I'm usually 5-10 minutes late. * Be Captain of the Enterprise, or have your own Klingon? From Zane -- The Enterprise * Drink an ounce of Jessica Alba's urine in order to sleep with her, or not? From Patrick -- I don't really want to sleep with her, but an ounce of urine isn't that much. * Be a parapalegic who can see, or a blind person who can walk? From brown -- Blind person who can walk. Blind people can do all sort of stuff - take David Patterson for example, he can play mean basketball and be Lieutenant Gov. of NY. * Be able to communicate with all animals, or be able to read the minds of the opposite sex? From Mickey -- Reading the minds of the opposite sex would annoy me too much. I feel like I already understand men too much. I want to be Doctor Doolittle! * Need more allowance, or eat Killer Tofu? From Nick -- Uhm. I wish I got an allowance, and I don't like tofu. * Make it rain, or invest your money so that your family can be financially secure? From Jeff -- Investing is better than raining; why the fuck would I want that? * Have sex with the 18 year old Britney Spears only one time, or the present day Britney Spears whenever you feel like it? From Dustin -- 18 year old Brittany. Yucky yucky now. * Be James Bond for a day, or be Hugh Hefner for a day? From Phil -- James Bond. Fuck yea.
  21. Maybe you should do a spring cleaning on your contacts lists if you are planning on dying soon. ;) But honestly, I've thought of this, and I don't see it as very likely. I'd assume most of us are pretty healthy and under 65: not prime time for dyin'.
  22. The first 25 minutes of "There Will Be Blood." Wow. That was slow.
  23. !!!! Wow, you must have been pretty young for that. Whenever I hear the opening to that retarded Fall Out Boy song "Thanks for the Memories" (I'm not going to spell it emo), it makes me think that nsync is gonna come back. Unfortunately that one dude is gay and it might make the others uncomfortable, which is part of the reason he waited so long to come out, or so he says.
