Just got back from Otakuthon a few hours ago. It's pretty much the only Anime Convention in Quebec. Unfortunately, I missed the opening day.
It's only the second time it's been held, so it was still pretty small, but still, it was sweet. I found myself wishing for a camera when I saw a whole gang of people cosplaying more than half of the important characters from BLEACH, the funky shop guy included.
My purchases were:
- A Naruto Headband - Water village symbol (*Growl* They ran out of Leaf headbands! It's actually on my head as I'm posting this.)
- A miniature 1-UP Mushroom Keychain (So that if anyone tells me to get a life, I'll be prepared)
- A sweet picture of BLack Mage casting what looks like Blizzaga. (I'm hanging it up as soon as I can find a frame to stick it in)
Needless to say, I'm going back next year.
I don't know if there are any bowlers here, but here goes. I went to Sacramento and bowled a total of 9 games. I had 3 yesterday which I did bad to decent with, but today my first series was a 685 and my last games was a 268, 2 pins away from a perfect game (it's tough to explain how that works). Then after I got about a 500 something series. All in all, it wasn't bad, except that my good series was with a partner and he didn't do so well, otherwise we could have taken the whole competition.
Hey, anybody see that drug PSA with the talking dog? Just thought I'd share my take on it.

I woke up at 7am thinking I had to work at 8am....nope it's 10am. I could have sworn it was 8 but I must be thinking of Thursday and Friday. If they don't call me in a few minutes then I was wrong and could have gone back to sleep.
Off to eat some waffles!
Mmm... waffles. They're yummy. I like pancakes as well. Show me a restaurant that does Pancakes and Sausage and I'm so in there wolfing it down. Only thing I had for breakfast during my trip to the States.
I can no longer eat pancakes because it turns out I'm allergic to wheat gluten. Fuck.

Oh my gosh. My sister was randomly flipping channels yesterday before I went to work, when I saw this
The clip is nearly five minutes, but the waffle referrence is in there.
I love waffles. Nearly as much as I love pie.
I'm getting my new phone today. It's a windows based deal: the Sprint Pocket PC 6700, I think. Finally, my first camera phone! Between all my rebates, services credits, and whatnot, it's actually free, which is awesome. Anybody else buy a new phone recently?

Seriously? Then... what's the point of living? You should totally kill yourself. Pancakes or death!
Anyone else here watch Hyperdrive? I love that show more then I should. I dunno if it's on in the States or whatever, but you should definitely try to catch it. Kevin Eldon elevates it from good to eye-wateringly hilarious.
Other then that, nothing big happening. Thought about getting a Wii, then thought against it just yet. Mum's birthday coming up on Thursday. Still looking for work. Same old, really.

Something I hate is when people make walfe/pancake syrup that sucks. I mean, the crud they serve at holiday inn? :sick: ugh...it's disgusting. Gimme my Canadian Maple syrup, or don't give me waffles at all!
Waffles are god man. As for pancakes, well, I respect them, but my dad always makes these huge frickin things that I can't eat more than 3/4's of. They are good though.
Waffles, IMHO, are best when they're practically fresh out of the wafflemaker. About twenty or so seconds new, and slightly crispy around the edges. You don't even need syrup, if they're that fresh, and if they're made with enough sugar or berries and whatnot.
Interesting. I'll have to try that.
Just wondering, why hasen't this thread been stickied yet?
My theory is as follows: To have a thread where you can discuss anything would almost moot the point of starting topics. Since people are starting topics anyway, and with great success, I can happily say, it doesn't make a difference.
Hell, thehylia's Lounge Thread isn't stickied either, and it's been going on for 180 something pages!
A thread like this actually makes it easier to start a new topic. First posts are supposed to be descriptive and require some work. Here, you can just put whatever you want and it goes from there.
I think that stickying topics makes it easier for them to die. Sometimes a topic will live because of the non-spam efforts that are made to keep it from slipping off the page.
Yeah, leave this be. We've enough stickied topics in GD already (smug feeling).
We should move it to Ancient History, we need some substance in there.

For once I have to agree with them as that is what I was going to say.

It's not old though and it's still going.
So can anyone explain to me what Godwin is? Daarkseid just gave me negative rep for saying that I invoked Godwin in the Michael Vick thread. Wtf that means.
You could always try to google it, but that might get you some messed up stuff thanks to Rule # 34 which I sometimes love/hate depending on what I'm looking for. But in anycase, google it at your own risk. :kitty:

Godwinning a thread occurs when anyone compares one or more parties to Hitler or the Nazis. It's supposed to lead to a quick thread death as the argue becomes pointless namecalling.
That said, Daark's a nazi.
so deathbyhokie (that secksy byatch) is posting again and i'm wanting to hump him retarded....

Oh sure, go ahead and jinx us. Thanks a lot.
(😉)
Nice, so I make a post about how the thread is pointless, and suddenly I'm the one who killed the thread, not the ones who got it there? Whatever, rep sucks anyway.
Btw, when did CK come back?
I don't think she ever left us... she was always in our hearts.
Is Killed
