So...

I meant it in an entirely different way then both of you guys took it, but hey, thats fine.

Bwaahh...I hate it when my stomach screws something up. Spending ten minutes on the toilet wondierng if my stomach is done sending overdone/rushed products down to the delivery chute is NOT my idea of a good time.

Anyway, I just got a call from a game testing company that one of my firends suggested I work for until I can get my whole graphic design thing off the airstrip. Apparently this company is interested, and I need to call them back sometime in the conceivable future. With any luck, I'll soon have some sort of income, and thus be able to buy more Wii points, and buy som emore good VC titles (screw you Sin and Punishment, for costing 1,200 points. Now I am 200 points short from getting Kirby 64, which I've wanted to play again for a good long time).

In other news, I am catching up on all the Zero Punctuation Game reviews I've missed, which may account for my temprarily off-kilter sense of humor, and the fact that my thought process nowlookssomethinglikethis.

Apparently, eating sushi, pizza, and ice cream for dinner doesn't do anything horrid to the intestinal track. Can't say the same about my parents who saw me eat all that.

Sushi is awesome! But I'd never would guess it mixes with pizza very well.

Sushi: why not just cook the damn fish?

Because when it's served with rice, seaweed, and fish eggs, it tastes better raw. Besides, some sushi is cooked.

Woo, what fun. Went to an exhibit on medieval torture devices at the museum today. I gotta say - people in the middle ages really put a lot of thought into their torture devices, working out how to cause the most agony and suffering while ensuring that the victim was alive and conscious for the longest time possible. Yup, nothing like shredding a man's rectum open in the name of an all-loving, compassionate God to warm your heart.

Thank you for making my ache. Wow, they were harsh then, and furthermore, had about as much understanding of what Christ taught as a snail does.

Or maybe it's us that misunderstand Christ's teachings. After all, it's only been within the past 100 years that the idea that Christianity isn't about horribly murdering anyone who disagrees with you has really taken hold, leading me to start to wonder where anyone got all this "peace and love" business from in the first place.

For once, I'm going to defend christianity. (*gasp*)

The whole "peace and love business" was the original christian message. When they were preaching peace and love, the christians were horribly murdered and persecuted by the Romans. Once the Roman Emperor realized he could use christianity to control people's minds, it was adopted by the government and the brutal insanity of the catcholic church began.

Today, christianity is used by the religious right to get neo-fascist leaders elected and to fleece the mindless drones of their cash, so they can build sparkling megachurches.

Yup, nothing like shredding a man's rectum because a guy overheard from someone else that this guy might have stolen money from some rich guy, and you want him to confess, so you can just kill the guy and hopefully be rid of the thief. If he's NOT the thief then he just won't confess (despite the fact the we're putting him through incredible pain, and will continue to do so until he DOES confess, at which point he's guilty even if he didn't do it). or, alternatively, it's a slow day at the castle, and there's nothing like a good old fashioned torture session on a random peasant to liven up the place..

Fixed for accuracy.

>_> Torture is retarded IMO. Of COURSE if you torture the guy to get a confession, you will eventually get one (even if the guy is innocent), because the human body will do anything to avoid more pain. ...Seriously, you might as well just forge a confession, since it amounts to the same result, only with less agony on the part of the prisoner.

I like sushi. The Catholic Church sucks. Torture is not necessary when you can just kill the person. I'm going to go eat some chicken taquitos.

phattonez, it had precooked spicy shrimp in it and was very good with the wasabi that came it with. I ususally get Hisso (sp?) sushi from a kiosk in Kroger. It's a little more expensive than what they have at Jewel, but the quality is superior.
I'd go on about Catholics, but that's for a separate thread....
But yes, sushi and pizza does go good together. 😃

Its been awhile since I had sushi. There aren't any places that sell it in my town so whenever I have a craving, I gotta go out of town for it. I hate small towns..... :kitty:

Aegix, you must've missed out on the Spanish Inquisition there. Fun times. Oh sure, I won't deny that torture was used for a lot of things, but worshiping the wrong God, or engaging in activity considered sinful, or believing things that the church did not were pretty darn high up there.

Oh, and Bel, yeah, I guess you're right, it's just hard to think of a time since the Romans when that kind of crap wasn't going on.

Ok, so I didn't think about the spanish inquisition. My bad. anyway, it's sickening to think that torture STILL exists in our more intelligent (one would hope) world, and not only that, but in your own contry (The USA). I would have hoped that we'd have left these awful habits behind along with the random public executions of random criminals every other flipping day.

And DAMMIT, I keep scratching my arms/hands without realizing it, and it's happening at night too. I am getting so freaking TIRED of having to wear socks on my hands at night to stop myself from scratching!

That last one is from right after he was born.

So, you shouldn't drink and post, I managed to post a response to a completely different thread here. Good thing I take the time to actually read what I've just posted again.

Trev killed the thread 😉
I hate it when people try to scam some free food out of us. If you don't have a receipt, you can't get anything. I'm getting tired of that kind of asshattery. Woo, carnival almost right next door starting up tomorrow, lots of business this week. *sigh*

I swear, I think American Airlines is trying to go out of business, they suck so bad. Several people who were flying down for the wedding on different flights with them had major ordeals and ended up getting stuck in random places, and I myself had to contend with a flight cancellation, and then a delay which caused me to miss my connecting flight, which resulted in me getting back to Minnesota exactly 24 hours later than I was supposed to.

When oil prices go up, what do you think they have to cut back on? Service of course. I guess that's why the feds finally increased Amtrak funding, now if they only would fund high-speed rail, we would have an alternative to flying.

I don't really think it has much to do with oil prices, airline service (flights being delayed and whatnot) has been terrible for years, even when prices were (relatively) low.

That's strange though about American, I have always had pretty good experiences with them... Of course it's been a few years.

I've been playing a lot of pool lately and found that it is actually a really good way to spend time with friends. Not only do you get to hang out and talk while playing, but it is one of the only... sports, games, whatever... that you can drink and play at the same time. Some people are actually better when they're drunk!

Bowling is the exact same way. So is ping-pong and a lot of other games.

True... except I have never met anybody who is better at ping-pong while drunk, too much hand-eye coordination involved I would think.

Bowling freakin rules though! Only it's a little hard to have a whole bowling alley in your house...

Pool is great. I play with my younger brother most fridays, and he's not too bad.

:P but sometimes I try out some weird strategy that ticks him off pretty bad (leaving one of my balls TEETERING on the edge of falling in. I leave it like that for most of the game, since he refuses to score a point for me just to open up the hole again). one time when I did something like that, he called me an "egotistical scientist". XD

Woooooooo-hoo! Okay, man, if I ever move to Germany, I'm moving to the city of L�beck. Just got back from a three day trip, we stayed in a youth hostel and wandered the city, saw the half-billion churches, tasted the world famous marzipan, swam in the Baltic sea, but just overall this city has a character to it that I love. And now if you'll excuse me, I just got back from a 5 hour train ride, and I'm tired so I'm going to bed. Night 'all.

I use that strategy every chance I get! Kolt (Ctrl-Alt-Delete) and I play every Monday and Wednesday at a local pool hall, he gets pretty pissed when I leave my ball in one of the pockets almost the whole game... haha!

I'm starting to get the sneaking suspicion that I'm starting to go insane here.

So I got back from my friend's house yesterday, where I watched him play Resident Evil 4, and although I loathe survival horror games, I found that this one was quite fun. So I get home and load resident evil DS on my DS.

Despite playing resident evil on my DS, I didn't have nightmares of monsters eating my brains out, and I realize I did almost nothing productive all day today.

I got up, watched some anime, played Okami for a good 2 hours, ate lunch, called up my old boss and did som ework which lasted about 5 seconds, and then spent the rest fo the day going back through advance wars: days of ruin, and a bit of R.E.

now it's 3:30 PM, and Instead of working on my portfolio, I am sitting here on a forum posting about how much I need to do it. Oh, and the past few days I've had this shadow of a headache hovering on the edge of my brain, making me wonder if it's just allergies, or if something is actually stuck in my brain, or something.

...and I really should be working, since my folks should be home in a bit under an hour, wanting a progress report on my work, and I've done ZIP so far.

yeaaaahhh... really need to do some work...*is trying to resist the magnetic pull of the DS. I want more advance wars, dammit!*
