God, NickK, that was awful. You should be punished Ryos' was even worse, though. Someone get the duct tape... altough I suppose that wouldn't really work for typing, would it?

So THOSE are pocky sticks... those are tasty!

Ryos, you continue to amaze and frighten me.

 

[Arpanet]

Wouldn't the pockies in your pocky melt/break?

 

[Arpanet]

WOWOW? Is that like "Wow! Ow!" Maybe someone was admiring a lion in the zoo and then the lion jumped out and ate them?

 

[Arpanet]

Oi! What's wrong with Iron Chef? I love that show!

"Today's secret ingredient is... BOILED POTATO TESTICLES!"

Xeven - that's why we have fansubs

It's all right, the problem is they'll watch that and refuse to watch any of my anime or other Japanese programs (BTW, the Japanese have some really...er...interesting game shows ).

You can't expect your parents to like Love Hina, can you?

So do the French.

I have no idea what that is... can you say it in 733+?

 

[Arpanet]

My what?

Seriously, it's pretty weird.

I didn't think I had one of those... sold it to some guy for a new computer a while back, IIRC.

Weirder than the ending of Akira?

 

[Arpanet]

> I'd say so. And not a good weird, I mean a bad weird.

Are you saying Akira had a good weird? Cuz I definitely didn't get the ending, but it wasn't a good I-didn't-get-the-ending, it was a bad I-didn't-get-the-ending. I mean it just went right over my head, and I think the fault was on the storytellers and not my own stupidity and short attention span.

I have no idea what Lainish means. Blimey, I am one uneducated mofo.

 

[Arpanet]

Ahhh. Hey, I have a question. Are crap Saban animes like Mon Colle Knights and Pokemon and Digimon actually considered anime, or just derided as pathetic attempts that fail even as weekday-afternoon cartoons? Always wondered about that.

 

[Arpanet]

> It's kind of like how most people who see FotR will not actually READ FotR (which is definitely a tragedy).

I already talked about this, but I think the movie is having the opposite effect. FotR was #1 on the book charts this week... and everyone who hadn't read the books that saw the movie is going out to buy them.

 

[Arpanet]

I thought the movie-related covers were kinda ugly, actually... I'll take my Alan Lee covers, thank you very much

BTW, 1000th post

 

[Arpanet]

Heh heh heh... it took me 5 months to get here... I think it'll be a while before I hit 2000

I bet this board has a lot more posts than many other boards out there... setting aside the usenet ones, of course. I mean, even at places like tolkienonline.com, people with 1000+ posts are rare, not to mentio 4000+

That's what Samor thought as well, but, as you may have noticed, his posting rate since hitting 1000 increased quite a bit. Who knows, you might too.

Yeah, it has... but I have school, whereas apparently Samor has no obligations or responsibilities whatsoever :rofl:

 

[Arpanet]

Yeah, that's what happens when you combine two guys with nothing to with a desire to reach 1000 posts

 

[Arpanet]

So do I, especially when there's school tomorrow... and I have three hours of homework to do that I haven't started yet... thank God it's break
