If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself, is it considered a hostage situation?

One nice thing about egotists: they don't talk about other people.

Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery?

If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done? Me too. ;)

[Rainman]

Me too. ;)

Me three. :P

I cahnge my lightbulb three times a day for the prevention of safety hazards!
I guess that lightbulb thing applies to everything else too, right? (Maybe thats the whole point...)

[Jigglysaint]

Dip-dips are evil! We must destroy them before they take over the world!

[Samson007]

I remember when that origional post was made. It was true then and it is true now too. That is exactly what would happen.

* 27 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs

it has begun :sly:

[plith]

"It has begun."
If you're going to correct spelling, use complete grammar while you're at it.

[tench]

that's to long

[Ganon's Minion]

RFLMAO! Great find, Gerudo. Wow, I was laughing so hard. Although, as Foxy said, that is so true. hehehe, that's no doubt exactly what would happen on a forum.

...And tench, I suggest you post something which contributes to the topic instead of dumbass spam like this (http://www.armageddongames.net/forums/showthread.php?t=80327) fricking stupid topic or you'll be looking at a bumpy ride in the bannedwagon. Careful.

[Riku]

That is "so" true.

[ShadowTiger]

.. Oh, .. man.. That lightbulb is the root of so much trouble..

It could definitely happen. By the second point, I was thinking of what the individual members would say, trying to pin names into each category.

[Sephiroth]

BH4, Link Hylia did that for the second point there.. http://www.armageddongames.net/forums/showthread.php?t=80301 He said he changed a lighbulb all by himself!

I remember this being posted at another forum I go to, and about 4 months later, a gravedigging newbie actually replied to the original post and started it all over again :laughing:

Oh, and by the way, c'mon now, take this to the Lightbulb Forum where it belongs.

Oh, and by the way, c'mon now, take this to the Lightbulb Forum where it belongs.We all use lightbulbs.. If we didn't we would be in the dark! :laughing: Therefore this topic is relevant to this "general Discussion" forum and should be allowed to stay!

GM, you should know that's not appropriate. either say something to him in private, or let a mod handle it. if you need to bring something to someone's attention, use the "report this post" feature. trying to give glenn a run for his money as the biggest rent a mod?
