Yeah, Arvie is slipping.

[Bebpo]

Sometimes I just need to take a break from life and smile and say how much you guys all rock and how much I enjoy the community here.

 

[Madrun Badrun]

atleast bebpo liked my post

atleast bebpo liked my post

He only liked the first 5 minutes, then he changed his mind. Sorry.

[Phoenix Dark]

Went to Red Lobsters for my bro's birthday dinner. He brought his female friend, a 16yo chick who was like a latina version of Juno. Our waiter was hitting on her throughout the night

her: excuse me sir, could i get some lemon with my water?
waiter: you're so articulate and cute, of course
her: thank you
 

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Made it back to my apartment.

Good to get away for a while.  Back to work tomorrow...

[Madrun Badrun]

 

[demi]

Yep, its been about a year since I've cried like this.

God damnit.

Good one, but we all saw your tears in your pics.

[Boogie]

I went back and re-read the Green Shinobi vs. Boogie argument in my thread "The Case for an End to the Drug War," which can be found in the Dysfunctional Hall of Fame. That argument was a lot more even than some of you assholes made it out to be. Lamest "annihilation" ever. T234 probably annihilated me harder than anyone else did in that thread.

It's also amazing how quickly things turned catty on both sides. This forum would be a lot better if people were a little slower with the ad hominem attacks against people they disagree with, and I know I'm one of the people this applies to the most.

 

That's not the thread where the majority of the annihilation took place, dude. 

[Don Flamenco]

drank too much whiskey too fast last night and ended up falling asleep at like 10:30  

Sometimes I forget to pour myself small servings...if I have a full cup of it, I'll down it pretty fast (especially something smooth like maker's mark.)

jesus dude, just stay off EB for a few days and come back acting like nothing happened 

[Boogie]

Do you have a link to the other one? I'd be interested to re-read it to see if it's possible that you were right this whole time.

Spare me the disingenuous supplicating bullshit, dude.  I don't think you're honest or self-aware enough to admit when you're wrong (mere suspicion)

http://www.evilbore.com/forum/index.php?topic=29490.0

[Boogie]

You're one of those guys who holds a grudge for a long time, aren't you Boogie?

Nope, not really.  I'm just not going to accept any disingenuous niceties from you until you can demonstrate a commitment to not flipping out for more than 12 hours.

To go from "I'm sorry, I've been a douche, I will try to change" to throwing out insults less than 18 hours later does not inspire confidence in your ability to hold your shit together.

(in evidence of my "not holding grudges", in my early years at GAF, for whatever reason, I quite disliked Mandark, Drinky, and Triumph.  I thought they were assholes.

And while, in fact, Drinky and Triumph are assholes, they've all grown on me since.)

Yeah, I think we've all butted heads with Boogie at one point and time. I'm pretty sure the two of us have dueled on the Internet.

... but it's the Internet.

[archie4208]

I LOST two pounds after the holidays, even though I pigged out on Christmas day.

[Van Cruncheon]

hey, we all learn to chill out on the internet as we age with it. well, most of us, at any rate.

I've lost a pound doing nothing but slam food over the break. No walking, no exercising, just eating and drinking.

[Madrun Badrun]

[The Sceneman]

I had a dream that I did coke on the beach with Himuro the other night  It means I spend too much time here I guess

[Herr Mafflard]

That's okay himu's cock penetrates most people's thoughts. I think there's a whole sub-forum on it that only the icons can access.

...

oh, you said coke

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

You're one of those guys who holds a grudge for a long time, aren't you Boogie?

Edit: yeah, I did a pretty poor job of arguing my case in that thread. I'd love to be able to have a rational discussion about the use of no-knock warrants that doesn't lead to insults being thrown on both sides.

Oh the irony.

[Madrun Badrun]

It's true.  Not three pages back have I mentioned that I like to think that's himu's cock head before her.

[Boogie]

The continuing women misadventures of Boogie:

Need to get new glasses, so I invited this smoking hot french chick to go glasses-shopping with me this afternoon.  Told her I needed my new style to be "French-approved".

Enjoyable excursion, joking around, trying on goofy glasses, etc.  Weird moment was that when we pulled up to her place afterwards, we just kinda sat in her car chatting about nothing for 10 minutes.  In the end, got out of car, grabbed her number for any future fashion-related assistance, gave her a hug and that was that.

Just....couldn't make the move.  No natural opening to go for a kiss, and I just can't go for broke cold without some indicators of interest.  No playing with hair, no licking or biting of lips, no returning my few casual touches of her shoulder and knee.

So, now I'm still feeling like a chump not being able to tell if she's attracted or if I'm friendzoned.

[T234]

I know I have sure calmed down over the past few months. Kentucky's famous cannabis harvest has had a lot to do with it. If I had been fired over bullshit like I was any other time of the year and I probably wouldn't have took it as well. I was very much capable of murder after my financial aid got yanked. I had to leave the building before doing something regrettable.

Unless there is an awkward silence followed by clear indications that she needs to go or you have to exit the vehicle, you make the move. I don't think women really want to sit in a car for ten minutes talking about nothing.

The problem is unless you act fast now, you risk permanent placement in the friendzone. I'd call back in a day or so, tell her you had a great time and ask her on a more romantic excursion - like dinner.

[Boogie]

I guess.  I've just had too many incidents of thinking a girl is interested in me, going for the kiss, and then getting denied with a turn of the head.  It's pretty much turned me into a pussy and wanting some clear sign of interest before putting myself out there like that.

[CajoleJuice]

You should've punched those broads in the face. Who could turn down Boogie?

[Powerslave]

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

Eh, don't let it get you down. Rejection is not the worst thing in the world unless you make it the worst thing in a world. I know that's tougher said than done, but you will live a life full of regrets if you don't pull the trigger once and awhile.

The key now is to make a call within a day or two, before the chick gets to mull over the lack of initiative and begins to justify her not-being-kissed as her not-wanting-to-be-kissed. And that's when you get permanent placement in the friend zone ("Eh, I wasn't really that interested in him anyway") and getting out of that jam is like winning a ground war in Asia.

And like Juice said, who would turn you down?

If you're Alanis Morisette...SICK BURN!

[Boogie]

Oh, and the bitch of it about calling in a day or so is that I leave on Wednesday for a 3-day New Year's Eve ski trip to Holiday Valley, New York.

If I didn't already have those plans, I'd see her on New Year's, as she invited me a week or so ago to a NYE party she's throwing at her place (I met her through her roommate/landlord, a friend/coworker of mine)

[The Fake Shemp]

Regardless of whether or not you can make plans for a day or two, call her in a day or two. Just say, "Hey, this sounds really stupid, but I had a lot of fun the other day. I got to leave for this stupid trip, but when I come back do you want to go out and have dinner? I know this awesome place that serves poutine, just like us Canadians like it!"*

* "Then maybe some after-dinner sex?"

Flight to Seattle tomorrow cancelled because of fucking miserable weather. Now not getting into Tokyo until New Years Eve, if that flight isn't cancelled. FUCK. 

[Madrun Badrun]

Wish I were dead or that school would start back up soon.  Holidays suck when you're alone. 

[Madrun Badrun]

I'm considering moving to Canada in a few years. Good idea?

Uni will be cheaper by a lot. 

[ch1nchilla]

One day late with these flights, one day late into Tokyo. If all goes right I'll be in Tokyo late on New Years Eve, just in time to party and fuck my sleep schedule super hard. Layover tonight in Seattle, my flight to Portland (flying hometown->Portland->Seattle->Vancouver->Tokyo (4 flights! yes!)) might be diverted to Seattle due to weather so I might cut it down to 3 flights. Good times.

[Bebpo]

as FM said, it's a good place to go to Uni.

What to do when I get to my hotel room in Seattle... I'm thinking either the adult all-star mega pack or minibar annihilation. Bacchus7 suggested I get a hooker. All valid options. 

[Van Cruncheon]

why not all three

[ch1nchilla]

why not all three

Shit, you're right.

[Van Cruncheon]

first thing they teach you at management school: they tyranny of the "or"

employee: we can either fix the three major bugs, or ship it on time

manager: why not BOTH? don't you oppress me with your false dichotomies, peon!

No hookers, porn, or minibar at my hotel room last night, couldn't put Prole's words of wisdom to use. Complete disappointment, all I could do was read and chainsmoke. Then, when I finally decided to go to bed, I couldn't sleep for a solid 3 hours so I just thought about how much a minibar would help the process.

Flying from Seattle->Vancouver, Vancouver->Tokyo now. I hope I sit next to someone cool on the Vancouver Tokyo flight.

At the airport.

In Vancouver now getting my booze on pre-flight, I literally crossed a fake bridge through a fake nature setting through customs. They're really going for it with this winter olympics thing. Besides all of the fake nature shit, it's a super nice airport.

I just talked with my ex online and she asked me "u wanna fuck", and when I reminded her that she cheated on me, she said, "ive grown".

Wow, the irony.

[Phoenix Dark]

Just spent the last couple hours battling spyware. After I checked my mail this morning I got a prompt from "internet security 2010" telling me a couple trojans were spotted. I X'd out of it, but then my screen got blasted with the typical "omgwtfbbq you're infected" stuff.

Tried to get into safe mode, wouldn't work. So I just used my malwarebytes scan for two hours and it seems to have worked; definitely got rid of the hijacked wallpaper I had ("your system is under attack") and the constant warning popups

I wonder if this has to do with Tube8's new layout; I've gotten a couple alerts while browsing the site since it was revamped. I was browsing the latina section late last night, as usual. hmm

[Barry Egan]

Which is the main motivator. What about housing? Is that relatively affordable? Will you people accept my foreign currency?

I'm in Halifax Nova Scotia.  Housing can range anywhere from $300-800 CND a month depending on the location and the number of roommates.  Obviously, your American currency would need to be exchanged.  While a few years ago this would have worked in your favor, nowadays the difference is negligible.

The Universities you apply for will fill you in on all the important information.

It was about 115 yen to the dollar when I last visited (July 2006)... I felt happy and sad when I heard this news.

I would grab some cash now.  All signs point to it going up after the new year.

Unless it's going to get worse than it's been the last couple months, I'd rather my cash sit in the bank and make interest for me instead of taking out mad yens and shoving them in a drawer for 90 days.

If you go to somewhere in Quebec then you should learn French.  Otherwise you don't need to worry about it.

From what I've been told it might get much worse.

Damn. Well, I'll talk with the wife and maybe we'll get some yens now.
