Official Off Topic Thread

J-Dub. I hope things will get better. What happened to your dad really sucks ass, no one deserves such a bad luck.
 
I don't think I could go any more off topic with a subject that no-one cares about in this forum so I'm going to post it here:

I just drove GTR2 with a real race driver, Fernando Rees! I was terrible, he was unbelievably fast. Really nice guy too. I hope I'll see him in the same server another day, cause I have to ask him if he'd share some setups for qualifying.

Sooooo... Does anyone else here play Simulation racing games?
 
I don't really like racing games. I'm more into strategy and rpgs. Because I'm a nerd.

Anyway, I just watched the movie El Orfanato (The Orphanage) and it was awesome. It was basically El laberinto del fauno mixed up with The Shining. And it was just as good as that sounds.
 
Someone made an instrumental cover of Accolade II (click link, video doesn't work).

Thanks! They successfully re-built his stump today, been at the Hosp. since 5:00a.m. He did well, ande when I left him, he was sitting up, eating, and not experiencing any pain. Don't know how long he'll be in for, at this point, but the big hurdle is over. Now to get him back to up to speed, & strength...
and NO MORE BULLSHIT! ;)

Ouch, sorry J-Dub :( As long as we're talking about dads, mine just put in for early retirement...he couldn't stand his new boss, so that made his decision easier, but now he's got 7 weeks of full paid vacation to use up as well, must be nice :)

Thanky! Yeah, I'm resigned to the fact that I'll be working until I die, and NOT by choice. My earlier upheaval compketely wiped me out, and the IT sector just hasn't been the same since...joy....:erk:



Yeah, I really liked that forum, but I'm pissed off enough that any presence there will be strictly limited. PM me for details if interested.
 
What's funny is that they completely nullified their own argument within their statement as to why XM-Sirius should be limited:

"That potential harm is mitigated if broadcast decency rules were to apply to the merged entity. There is no constitutional bar to such a condition."

Which means that either way, since there's no bar, there's no line for Howard Stern to cross. And if there's no legal line, there's no legal limit. Yay Capitalism.
 
What the fuck ever, as long as people are paying for it, there's nothing that can be done. People obviously want to hear it, this will never hold up.

I'm more concerned about Russel's announcement. Let's take a vote. Was Russel:
A) Drunk
B) Stoned
C) Tripping on Acid/Mushrooms
D) High on Coke
E) Tweaked out
F) A and B
 
This is such fucking bullshit.

Clear Channel can't handle the competition from XM-Sirius, so they're appealing to the government to limit XM-Sirius' freedom to do what they want with their privatized broadcasting.

If you needed yet another reason to hate CC, here it is.

As if I needed another reason to HATE Clear Channel, here it is....
I don't even listen to radio (satellite or otherwise...) except for weather/traffic info. But these a-holes at CC need to have their asses handed to them by the courts. CC is just as fucked as the music conglomerates.......wait a minute..... :zombie:

B for sure. I'm quite well educated in the odd things people say when they are stoned. Funny, incoherent stuff! Maybe A as well. So yeah, I'll go with F.
