Stupid 100-Year-Old Bigots ALWAYS die

Although, why the fuck it take 100 years, who knows? Yeah, whats the purpose of the mini-roadtrip anyways? Sounds cool, but I'm with Elrick on the "need more time to justify drive" trip. But, be safe dude, and if theres any CDs you wanna borrow, just holla! You know, you should rent a car- maybe you already are. But, 4th of JOOLIE weekend might be more expensive though, hmm. Otherwise, car-rentals RULE for roadtrips.

I wanna see 28-Days Lat0r. Hey MIKE, did you see it? It came out in Engrland like over a year ago or somethin! I guess lots of reviews were: 1st half RULES, 2nd half SUCKS! Thats better ods than those LOTR movies at least! :p

Halflings ALWAYS die

So it's really not that surprising. But I saw a few moments of the brilliant massacre and I must say, the Halflings did well to fertilize the soil on the field.

My REAL blood bowl league, I did horrible as anticipated. I have had horrible luck lately. The score was 2-1, but I did absolutely no damage to his team which he pounded my guys into submission, with 1 serious injury, 2 knockouts (1 including my ogre) and 1 kill. That's really really bad when it's so one sided... er kinda like the halflings.

So tonight I'm going clubbing i think, and Eric, and Jon, you guys should come up for a longer period of time. why don't u try coming on Friday and then driving back on sunday? You can live on my abundant stash of Coacoa pebbles, the most abundant resource in Fremont. You guys should talk about it. Jon, get off your lazy ass and call Eric as it seems he has no idea what your plans are, nor I.

Ebay, up at 83 dollars baby! for 5 games... AMAZING! I thought I would get nothing for my games.

BB and More!

- Manhandled Denis' Appleby Mashers last night. Felt a little bit bad, but he got 60k in winnings, so I don't feel SO bad. That is enough to replace the two dead halflings.... I didn't kill one of them! He slipped from the grasp of the Treeman (Larch the Oxygenator) before being thrown downfield and the poor little guy fell on his skull, smashing his brains to the realm of death; returned to the land of the not alive from whence he came...

- So Rudy (which is one of the fallen halflings names), we can play again sometime now that I have Denis under my belt! And Jael, try loading it to your laptop! It won't take you 10 minutes from start to finish! The Mango Raiders must pay for their inactivity! In blood!!! Human Blood!! Not my humans blood though!!! Nadsmasher is a GIRLY OGRE!!!

- I'm not going to make the SF trip, based on Jon's description, we will be there roughly 24 hours before driving back.... for 12 hours on the road, it's just not worth it, sorry guys. Kublacon it is!

- Oh yeah, read THIS. It's an email correspondence between email scammer and the "victim".... funny stuff.

flash movies

i got macromedia mx studio the other day, and I was just going through the flash tutorials (theyre pretty good!) so i'm gonna eventually try and make some smarmy music videos for my stupid old songs! yay 4 me. So, big favor: noJ - can I borrow from you whatever tapes you may have of the old jams- i wanna digitize them - or make me a tape or something! That'd be bookoo cool- I was so giving and careless in my youth, I never bothered to keep copies for myself (or, I just lost them.) COOL!

I'm excited. Not really, but I wanna try. ZOMBIES! Whats the name of that book exactly? I wanna look it up on The Net. thx

-Strom Thurmond, HAHAHAHAHAHA.
Whoa! Crazy new Blogger look.

Changed the Bold & Italic tags too. Yee hA. I still feel like FUCKING SHIT. Never get sick. Anyway, I will be going to LA this weekend on Friday night via car (Bunk). I will be in LA until tuesday afternoon/eve. David is graduating and a bunch of family members will be in town for a party. I do not know if I will be able to see anyone, but if I have sometime I will give you nutz a jingle. Johnny I would have told you but there was some instability as to how/when I was getting down. The other deal is that I am coming back up mid-week. If you for some reason can make it with me you are welcome, but I doubt you will, with work and all.

I was quite happy about the position change. I will now be doing IT infastructure, AKA QA. I now get to test data transmissions from terminal and parse the communications and analyze the data. I take that data and make sure they are transmitting the correct information and in the right format. It looks both cool and monotonous. I will be working in the terminal lab or a cubicle, analyzing the data and inputing bugs in a DB. Pay is good, learning curve looks to be not hard, but there is a huge amount of info. I read 110 pages of specs today on the communication and processing protocols for one of the three network packages. Dry as hell.

Johnny: I just busted my ass when there were things to do and that was it. RHonda wanted to make me the lead for the Help Desk group, but, she had another person that was just at good at the lead position. So she sat on it for a while trying to figure out who to make lead. Then an opening came about when one of the QA guys put in his two weeks notice.

Jon, Johnny, Elrock: I will be working until 4:15pm on the 5th of July, but will be around agter and for the rest of the weekend.

Ogre

Yay! Yesterday I went and picked up Ogre Diceland. It's got an absolutely huge-friggin-mungous Ogre die, almost big enough to play another game of Diceland on. Well maybe I exaggerate slightly. But it's big. And it's got a bunch of tanks and howitzers and infantry for the other team. And a command center card! And an Ogre tracking card with rules for either a Mk III or Mk V Ogre! Anyway, after many moons of not being able to play regular Ogre, maybe I can play this version! Yay.

SF trip: Eric, I wanna go up to SF (well, Fremont really) on Saturday the 5th, morningish, and come back on the 6th, eveningish. We will probably play Blood Bowl, PBI, Axis & Allies, and 15 hours of Medal of Honor. Steve? Alpine? Motormike? Sound good?
Seriously... eric don't bid on ebay ok?

See how much more fun games who actually have people playing (Hint: BB) is?
If we want to play space hulk, we can always use the old 1st edition sets. I'm totally fine with that.

bloodboowl: seeeeecrets

Ya, it says the image needs to be 11k or under and 50 x 50 pixels (which is crap) so I was looking at other peoples, and there's were a lot bigger than 50 pixels. So, I guess as long as you keep it under 11k (its 106500 or something to be exact) then its fine. I just saved mine as a super-low quality GIF. In Photoshop theres an easy saving function called "Save for Web" and I picked the one that turned my mega-pixture into a 8k file. Whew.

Whoa there big fella!

Let's not get carried away... another dedicated blog for Trash talkin for BB? we all remember your reviews column section... I think it's easier just to blog in the main column so that all can enjoy reading of the exploits. It gets bothersome to have to manage two reviews columns, and then you know how the Admin gets anal about blogging in the wrong section! Yeah.. that admin's a punk!

Enrique Glacy Enron: what's this deal on moving up? CONGRATS! tell me more on how it happened so I can plan my ascension!! seriously. Mine has been stuck in paperwork for er.... almost 3 months now... and is still indecisive. But that's how my company works.. Sucks ballz. Still have heard nothing definite.

SF TRip: Oric, just fyi, Jon may be coming up on the 5th and 6th of next month. Talk to him more and see if you guys can bike up here.

-i have 8 games posted on Ebay... I love it! 3 are going to sell! yaay!

Blood Bowl, Success!!!

- Yes, it's true that Needles scored on me, it was quite a reckless play that just happened to work out quite nicely! I wanted to HELP Needles to play the terrific sport of Blood Bowl, not grind him into dust (which I nearly did anyway...), so that he would play again. I think fun was had by all, I know I had a blast!

- My team now has a picture and Bio too, BTW how did you get such a large picture Rudy? I had to make mine washeesh before they would let me upload it! Also, I am new to the whole League PLay thing, so I have no idea if my choice in skills is going to be any good, but to heck with it!

- I have so much money for 2 reasons: 1) I started with 40K in the bank, and I won 70K in the game (10 Fan Factor Now!)

- Belated congrats on moving up in your company Enron. They must have been impressed with your ability to, er, manage your time and finish your games, I mean, tasks in a timely manner? Whatever the reason, mo money means mo money.

- Mike? Wanna play Blood Bowl? Mike? Hello?

- Johnny, seriously, try either a) loading the BB on your laptop, or b) getting a new NIC card, cause it was an amazing feeling finishing a game and uploading the scores (FINALLY)!!!!

- Hmmm.... it seems like we need a new Blog for BB trash talk....

- Also, something I have been doing for a few months now, I select all and copy all my post before I post and publish it, that way if there is a huccup, I have not lost my post! I am so smart! I am so smart! S - M - R - T!
Where's your pride and dignity Elcrock?

You let a noob score on you?! hehe... I took no mercy on the noob in my league... trounced him 5-0... Your too soft... Thorad Nadsmasher will have you for Brunch, Breakfast AND lunch, the next time we hit the field. Your Nads are mine (to crush)
Chopper, Sick ballz! it also seems like you got a lot of SP points too and a new skill for your catcher... Nice! How did dyou get so much money though?

The new blogger is pretty sweet... Tonight is another blood bowl league night... I'll tell you guys about it later!!

peace

mancunt

Whoa- Bloggers all different looking now. I had things I wanted to blog early in the day, but fuckifiknow what i was gonna write. Wanted to see if this was up, and lo and beholdar's gate, it is! Cool.

Fun game of BB tonight- I'm learning, and even though I scored 1 goal, I still got my manhandled by a bunch of a-hole humans! RAAR! Revenge will be mine! Fun shit!

Hey J-Mandingo: How was/is learning Flash? I borrowed a book from the Library on Flash MX and I haven't dug into it yet, but Elrick said it was pretty tough- I know you fuct with it- whats your verdict?

Jael: You're SO mine! I'll ownzor your cheap team any day. Elrick killed my Witch-Elf thingy in the 1st few turns, so I may only have 9 or 10 guys on the field, but its enough for you! Bring it on!

Space Shmulk

A few points:

1) I am going to pay Johnny full price for the Space Hulk, if I am to buy it at all.

2) 2nd edition is more rare than first edition, however, I believe a purchase that includes Space Hulk 1rst ed., Deathwing, and Genestealer (RARE!) will sell for more than the 2nd ed. alone.

3) I enjoy collecting game, it's my thing.

4) I have no idea what about any SF trip, enlighten me!

5) Sunday: Denis and Peter came over. We did some BB tests, and bought some WarCry cards, and 2 Shadowrun action figure game guys. Denis told us about the kick ass 10mm dungeon project, and then finally sent us an email about it. Kewl!

6) I hate killing anything too. Now think about this at least, its not a vaccum sealed doom that awaits the flushig of the bug, if it can hold it's breath until the poo poo water hits the open sewer, it might make it once there is air to breathe and fly in. Then it will live a long and happy life in the sewers feasting on crocodiles, rats, CHUD's, and poop.

7) When can I at least read the story in your book? I've never seen it.
Addendum 2nd ed

Jon, i t's actually 2nd ed... but I accidentally listed as 3rd ed... There is no 3rd edition so I hope thats not false advertising. The pictures on the website is of 2nd edition. I hope the buyers are aware of that.

Jael
bookoo dollars

i just checked ebay, and someone has the same thing Jon#$% has: Space Hulk and those expansions. Started at 10 bucks and nows it $125 or something! Make some money dude!
