I find it kind of spooky that 20 minutes after I find this Wikki somebody decides to make a clan based on the Wiki....
Quote from Cyan »
As for wiki in general...I don't really like wikipedia, mostly for the fact that absolutely anyone that wants to can add their 'expert opinion/information' on a topic, regardless of how accurate or relevant it is.
Thats what kind of gets me with these wiki things. Anyone can edit it. And sure they say there are enough that would make sure that things are edited fairly I think that many who support a specific topic will probaly outweigh those who don't and make the subject biased. If not then there might be constant editing battles as well as random vandalization. Not sure if any of that actualy happens. Anyone with more experience on the matter. Another issue could be when alot of people hold the same misconseption. I mean half the world thinks daddylonglegs are the most poisonous spiders when they aren't even spiders and have no poison glands.
As for Belgareth and Tawnos yes I did add them. First I personaly like Belgareth and thought he was fun to have in the clan, And I know I am not the only one who thought that. But more important than my personal feeling, they "were" in the clan. I didn't like the way tawnos left, but he over reacted, doesn't mean he was never one of us. I also added Sterling Angel, Sakabatau, HKkid, and even Crazed Mike. Even though Crazed mike was only in the clan for about a week and I never even met him. I couldn't think of others and didn't bother looking. You could edit them out if you really want to, I'll just edit them back in. I figure accuracy for these things is more important than personal grudges. Though I think that this perfectly illistrates the problem with Wiki.

And I guess that I'm a lucky one for the truth of what I know. For my heart had not denied me and I have somewhere to go. I shall never be a prisoner of steel and glass and stone. If I leave, I will return again to my Rocky Mountain home.
Tawnos didn't 'leave', he got kicked out of the clan, mostly because he ripped Daron for something like $70 worth of cards. I can understand the other 'Alumni', even if I don't personally like some of them..but Tawnos name simply shouldn't come up at all, IMO. And no, I will not edit the information that you entered..if you entered it, that's your call, you can maintain it. I wouldn't anyway, because I know that not everyone dislike Belgareth as much as I do, and I wouldn't try to impose my will upon the Clan's name.
Heh..daddy long legs...there are soooooo many of those spiders in AZ, if they were that poisonous, the mortality rate there would be ridiculous.
Yeah but you see Cyan, the full myth is that the Daddylongleg is the most poisonous spider in the world, but its mouth is too small to bite people.
I've been to the tropics and seen arachnids of that genus that were NOT small. We're not talking tarantula, but big enough to do damage. They actualy have crab claw like apendages in addition to their eight legs. Have you ever really looked at one of them, the second set of legs are extended and often act like feelers for some reason.
The hardest thing to do is photograph them. i mean their legs are so long that even if you get the entire daddylongleg the legs practicaly disapear in the background and the body is too small.
I'd be more worried about black widows and fiddle backs in AZ.
Did Tawnos ever send RE those cards? I mean I remember when he was all pissy he said that he had forgotten because his life went all to crap and that he was going to sent the stuff right away.
I'm not sure...we can't deny that tawnos was ever in the clan...but to call him an alumni even after he ripped RE, was kicked out, and posted in a screaming fit (denouncing us?)...well maybe your right. I know I love to keep the crede "once a called always a called" but maybe thats too romantic a view and not realistic eh. Course we could always put the subscript "kicked out of the called for prolonged inactivity and ripping a fellow called member $70 worth of cards" under his name.

Daggs: Yeah..I know what you mean. Maybe we need some type of 'honorably left/dishonorably removed' disclaimer. I just don't feel like lumping him in with people that left on infinitely better terms is right.
All this "In and Out" is making me yearn! I'm glad you two have settled this one....don't know if I could have handled it all. Soooooo.....yeah this thread is getting a little scary on the whole lube and sex issue. I have to truthfully say that I am not in the least bit suprised that Alex has had lube all over and in his mouth. I always considered him a bit suspect. The nice thing about getting to know the intimacies of a woman, wife, is that you can get them in a way that an artificial lube is just not necessary!;) Yeah that's right......natural lube is the way to do it boys....just step right up and take out your pens....there are some lessons to be learned from an old pro like me.
Freakin rookies.....get the girl excited....please her first.....make her happy...that way she doesn't care that you're done 28 seconds!

I suppose I should update you all on my life. Let's see here.
I spent most all of this last weekend selling pizzas for Honors Student Council at Spring Fling. For those of you who don't know, Spring Fling is the largest student run carnival in the country. Business was rather disappointing, mostly thanks to our unfortunate booth placement (which we had no choice of.) In an effort to attract more business, I donned the pizza suit, transforming from mild mannered Mike Fenwick into the unstopable force that is Pizza Man! That's right, Pizza Man, with the power to dance for the people, attracting business for pizza vendors the carnival over!
As Pizza Man, I danced in a John Travolta disco style. Then, to change it up, I went into my most popular dance, the Macarena. People loved the Macarena dancing Pizza Man, and no fewer than a dozen people ended up dancing it with me. Also of popularity was my river dance.
While Pizza Man, a gang of hooligans decided I would be fun to beat up. I imagine they would have rethought their plan had they known that behind the pizza suit was a 185cm tall, 125kg man. Even if there are three of you, it's rather hard to bring that down when you're only in 8th grade.
It wasn't all hate though. The girls loved me. I must have been hugged by a round score of girls aged 2 to 20 and my picture taken with at least double that. The hugs were of very different types, but I'm not sure which I enjoyed more. Granted, the girls high school age and up were hot, but the happiness on the face of the little ones was priceless. Interesting story though. One girl, who looked to be about 16, while hugging me, whispered in my ear (as much as one can whisper in the ear of someone wearing a pizza suit) "I want to eat you." I wasn't sure if she meant that literally or figuratively. I'm still not sure which one I would have preferred.
One Monday I went out with a group of friends to see V for Vendetta. It very well may just be my favorite sci-fi movie and second favorite movie in general (second, of course, to Garden State.) Seriously, this movie was kick ass awesome in every possible way. I've since downloaded it, and I watched it again yesterday afternoon. Odds are I'll view it a third time before the week's end.
And this all brings up an interesting point. I find myself most attracted to a girl who is a part time Physics grad student and teaches labs at Pima Community College. I suppose the question is if this attraction is even worth paying mind to, given the vast seperation in our location upon our educational tracks. Anyone have any experience/advice on this type of situation?

Mike....if I were you....and I'm not....I would take advantage of any and all chances to begin and maintain a relationship with any woman that gives you the chance. Your distance is not really that far, and you could always visit on weekends. A person like you should be able to keep a relationship with a lady that has similar interests and passions for the physics and sciences.
Go for it Tiger!!!!

I'd start wearing that pizza suit all the time! Sounds like Pizza Man has some good nipple chances!
I'm feeling wierd today. A bit nostaligic mixed with well rested. Also artsy. I feel like drawing, or writting or something.
I am not in the least bit surprised that Alex has had lube all over and in his mouth. I always considered him a bit suspect.
As have I, ever since I saw this pic:

I feel F'in great today!! The best I've felt(dare I say) all year!! Unfortunately I cannot say the same for two of my few friends. One’s girl of 4 years left him last night and another accidentally killed his dog - had it die in his arms yesterday.

Thanks alex, but I don't swing from that side of the plate. You'll need find someone else to take your Bannana Lube shots from.
BD: I don't know how to say this without making it sound mean, so I'll just be as mean as possible and hope you think I'm joking. You should never be allowed to talk to a woman, EVER, just in case that you and she somehow manage to reproduce. Just one of you already gives me headaches (either that or it's the hangover), and I'd hate to imagine what a bunch of little BD babies would be like.

Thus I'm smarter than you are.
So yeah... I think you should pester this woman as much as possible, based on the theory that the more I talk to any given woman the less she likes me.
Dux... I'm not even going to touch that "Busting Balls" but I will say there's about 30 million different dirty things to do with it.
I was told today that this kid on my team called 911 twice this morning and hung up both times. They called back and his dad answered. The reason the kid called 911? He got an erection and didn't know what to do. I wish I was making this up.
What, you say time for a new thread then don't even bother making one?
I'm on it.
