I'm dissapointed you people ignore me. I could always just make another account if the problem is that widespread.
But irregardless, my point is still valid, and you know it :)

You could make another account, but that will just get you banned.
Also, I fail to see this "point" you keep saying that you've made.
Moocow you smell of dirty socks and moldy grilled cheese sandwiches......what do you have to say about that? Huh stinky?

I got a "all I got to say is fag".
My reputation for my post was even.
You two crack me up! <lol> I needed a good laugh tonight. Mooie are you sure we can't bring back GB? ;)
Bah, who needs GB? Screw you all, ya donkey-loving scrotum-sucking chicken-chewing dress-wearing hair-braided titty-twisting bottom-munchers. :D
And I've just remembered that Pineconn_lolz gave me non-rep during his infamous 'Pineconn is...' thread, which means I got rep from him WAY before any of you! Go me! <Does a little dance, Makes a little love, Gets down tonight>
Aww, no Lightning z fortune cookies for me on this thread.
Yesssssssss! The Thrawn Trilogy rocked. Fully worthy of the "Episode VII" billing many people like to give it. Everything aligned very nicely with the movies, Timothy Zahn seemed to really understand the characters and presented them well, nothing overly ridiculous occurred, and the original elements were very creative and interesting... Thrawn, C'baoth, Mara Jade, and even Talon Karrde were all very interesting. Nowhere else have I felt so at home with something called Sta Wars that wasn't the Original Trilogy itself... hell, I liked these books better than the prequel trilogy. I could kiss it's ass all day.
So far, I've read:
The Thrawn Trilogy: Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising, The Last Command (see above- I'm thinking of rereading these sometime, incidentally)
The Courtship of Princess Leia (enjoyable but wonky in certain ways. Didn't feel like Star Wars so much as a wacky scifi romance comedy, but I guess it was fun)
Shadows of the Empire (interesting concept, boring execution, terrible writing. Why did 75% of all conversations in the book wind up trailing off while he paraphrased the gist into a couple narrative sentances? I sorta liked it, but it wound up being pretty dull really)
The Jedi Academy Trilogy: Jedi Search, Dark Apprentice, Champions of the Force (good story material, some neat ideas, progressed the storyline, but the "feel" was still off here. Parts of it were too contrived, felt insubstantial, and the character development could've done a bit better than it did- especially with Kyp Durron in the second book, and for some reason Daala was never interesting like she should've been- she felt like someone who'd twirl a moustache while snickering evilly, if only she had a moustache. Qwi Xux, on the other hand, was surprisingly fascinating to me. However, it was still very interesting material and I have to say I really liked them and consider them good Star Wars canon. They're best if you use your imagination a little bit while reading the book, try to picture it as a movie.)
Not sure what to read next. I'm curious to read some of Timothy Zahn's other Star Wars books (didn't he just release one set between ANH and ESB?); I rather liked his style, he was great at intrigue and subtlety (something the three things I've read since really lacked). My main interest is in the Original Trilogy and New Republic eras, so that's pretty much from A New Hope through, I'd say, Union (but first I want to see how they got there! Hopefully Mara's character development was explained in some books along the way a bit? Maybe those Hand of Thrawn books..) and Survivor's Quest.
I stop short of Vector Prime, the beginning of the NJO... I hate to be closed minded about something I've never experienced, but the factual information of the occurrences in the books is enough to make me want to bash my head into a wall just thinking about it. They just sound bad. Uberdrama has never done it for me.
I'm curious about Dark Empire (the storyline between the Thrawn Trilogy and Jedi Academy books) but really, the concept sounds pretty crappy. Palpatine cloned? Luke goes to the dark side and loses control of his mental faculties? The New Republic has friggin STAR DESTROYERS at it's disposal already? And "someone" in the empire has enough power to launch full-scale attacks of no finesse directly on Coruscant? Did they read the Thrawn Trilogy before writing this? :X But I still want to find it and give it a try. Hard to find trade paperbacks though.
So yeah, I'm sort of a picky Star Wars EU fan. Then again, everything I've read is from the early 90s so far...
And yes, I have a little bit of an action figure collection XD I even hunted up a Thrawn (they made one in 1998) on ebay.
I've only read the first Dark Empire comic book adaptation, but it was still pretty good. Interesting story, great imagery... give it a try. You might be surprised.
Truth be told, I haven't read that many Star Wars novels. The problem is there's so bloody many. The thing with me is if I start one, I'll want to keep going and read more, so if I try a couple and like them, I'm going to want to read the whole freakin' series. And if you're unemployed and broke, that's not a good thing.
Besides, I'm in the middle of the non-Fleming Bond books, so until I finish all of those, nothing doing. ;)
Funny, I was re-reading its latest closure announcement just today.
On a completely unrelated note:
Los Angeles-San Fernando Valley Angels of Anaheim SUCK! Go Oakland A's!
Jennifer, you must have a lot of time on your hands to write those long posts.
I've read almost all the Star Wars Novels via library. I've heavily considered hunting down the Thrawn Trilogy beause I loved that guy so much. His character was kickass. And he's a strategist to boot! Not to mention his skin color is blue (my fav color), not that it makes hims less human in my eyes. :kitty:
The first person to go buy me this house will get a cookie....maybe even two.

I love living in the country but where I'm at right now isn't far enough outside of town. That house comes with 5 acres, barn with 3 stalls for horses. Nice sized riding arena but I prefer the open trails and wow I want it.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...05/jawdrop.gif
So, I was at work the other day, playing Mega Man ZX on my DS, and for some reason which I have forgotten, I walked away. I left my DS on the couch, but when I came back shortly thereafter, it was gone. We hunted around for it, my co-worker Dave and I, but couldn't find it. Until we did find it, and it was in the toilet. The games were fine, but the DS itself is not working anymore and it smells like pee, to boot.
The Thrawn Trilogy was the first set of EU books ever written. Timothy Zahn did a superb job, and out of all the EU books I've read, his were always the best. He also wrote a duo entitled "The Hand of Thrawn" (Spectre of the Past, Vision of the Future), which were also very very good. And more recently, he chronicled the beginning of Thrawn's story in the novel "Outbound Flight". I think there might have been one or two others somewhere, but I do not know of them offhand. I own the first five, and if you're lucky, you can probably locate them all in any decently large Barnes and Noble. Even after nearly fifteen years (first one was written in 1993, I think), they're still in print.
Lastly, never, ever teach your parents to play video games. Especially Animal Crossing.
I don't take things out of the toilet to see what they smell like. Call it a personal policy.
[Just for clarification, Pineconn_lolz stole my avatar (which was my favorite avatar ever), so for now, I believe I have solved the confusion.]
To get back "on topic" :rolleyes: ...
I remember that I dropped a Sonic the Hedgehog plush toy* in the toilet (and a puddle, and I also lost it in South Carolina during vacation, eventually finding it noseless buried in a sandbox... all when I was 3 years old). Of course, I still have it.

*A plush toy, not a doll... :D
This thread has a topic? O_o
Yeah, I lost my DS too. I used to take it to school, take it out in the morning, and play it and stuff. Than, the one day that I leave it in the backpack, it gets stolen. Life sucks like that.
Just for some extra clarification, Pineconn stole MY avatar, my favorite ever, and for now, I believe I have solved the confusion.
Sonic is cool.
Uh-huh. It's a good thing you quoted him exactly or I'd think you were serious.
Sonic rules. When compared to most other platformers, Sonic just...flows soo much better.
Off-Topic Alert: Oh really? Name where that shot is taken in the game, then. In front of everyone.
(Before Prrkitty yells at me at that one, I'm taking it to the PM now.)
On topic:
I think that this thread's topic is off-topicness. But yeah, Sonic pwns Mario. But Zelda pwns Sonic. :D
<hug> you're safe Pineconn (the real one). :)
<3 the ignore button!
Going on two months since my second surgery and I still can't laugh without squirming in pain after.
Wow...that really suck Biggiy...Must make your life horrible if you can't even laugh at the insanity of it all.
And DSG...0_o you found your DS in the TOILET? That's a pretty shitty thing for someone to do...
And it's weird. I spent so long wishing for summer vacation to start, and now...I'm bored out of my skull.
All my friends have full time jobs that demand their attention.
I can't get a job because I have to take 3 weeks of summer school + a 2 week family vacation to california. No place in their right mind would hire me anyway.
Soo...I'm stuck around the house doing random chores and games.
-_- meh.
That shot was taken in the sacred grove, which was the former location of the temple of time (I guess it kinda is still the ToT though...). And there is really no point in worrying about going OT. Don't tell me you're that wrapped up into this place :).
And Metroid pwns all three of them. :kitty:
Ya, finding something you own after it's gone missing and tampered with, sucks. I've had a good wallet or two and something nifty collectibles over the years "dissapear" becuase the middle of my younger brothers made friends with the wrong kind of people. :mad:
So uhhh... Some of my glass work will be in an art show tomorrow in Philly. :o
I've been hearing sirens all night. Probably something to do with the tanker that crashed and burned earlier today...
Well, the first thing I did after I found it was take it out of the toilet and rinse it off. It doesn't stink like pee, but there is a distinct odor eminating from within the unit. It's got those God forsaken Nintendo screws on everything except the battery compartment, so I can't open it up and dry it off. I never had much hope for getting it to work again, but it's an expensive piece of technology. If I don't have to spend $130 replace it, I won't. I can tolerate a little urine smell, considering my line of work.
I don't really blame the guy who did it, becuase he's 60, retarded, and blind in one eye. He probably just dropped it on accident. His fingers don't really bend properly, so it's hard for him to hold stuff.
My Mum wants me to wash her car. Wash the car that I don't even use. If she were to ask my sister to do it, she'd just drive it to the local car-wash. Me, I don't drive, so it'd be hands-on with the bucket and sponge. No chance.
The cat has sat on the pile of laundry, meaning we now have to wash two pairs of underwear again because she sheds fur as much as I eat junk food. Which is a lot.
I must have bruised my eye or something taking out my contact lens yesterday, because it felt like there was something else on the eye and it was really painful. Not so much today, but I think it'll be a while before I can put the things in again.
I caved in and bought this last week, and I'm still waiting for it. Shouldn't have bought it, I'm low on money as it is already, but I'm a sucker for 'Complete Series' boxsets and, to be honest, I just wanted to see the thing again.
Nobody responded to this picture, which is a shame, because I thought it was absolutely hilarious and there really is no story inside which could match the sheer awesomeness of the cover.
One of my fillings came out shortly after I got back from America and when I went to get it replaced, the dentist said that the tooth had pretty much gone, and if the temporary replacement he put in didn't last, he'd have to take the whole tooth out and place a crown on the surrounding teeth so he could bridge the gap.
I've developed a 'beer belly', which doesn't look good at all when you're skinny as an anorexic twig, and I don't seem to be able to shift it, no matter how much exercise I do. Stupid health issues.
...and that's pretty much me at the moment. How are you guys doing?
ugh, i was next to the damn thing when it happened. we heard the explosion inside the factory and getting home was a pain in the ass because an hour later emergency vehicles were still responding and traffic was teh suck. and to make it worse, i lost money on a bet, since i figured it was a meth lab exploding.
That wouldn't have suprised me, considering those low-income apartments are like, RIGHT THERE and they're full of meth heads and their little crack head kids. My older sister used to live there.
I was just getting home from work when it happened, and I didn't see anything on TV until late last night, so I missed the smoke. I'm sure I would have seen it, considering it's like, 4 miles from my house... Just wasn't looking for it.
Took Aaron home last night, and I heard/saw so many ambulences. This was between 10:30 and 11... Not sure if it had anything to do with the tanker or not.
(Oh sure, Lolz, like you couldn't have asked your little brother who played the game... I'm done, all! Mods, tear down your wall!)
:)
Okay, yeah, I had a really bad day today like normal.
What now? I live in NE Ohio (Cortland, for the record) and have never heard of it yet. Of course, you did say central Ohio...Quote:
