Yeah it works now. No, we(or at least I, and I assume some others) don't understand what it's saying. Hence, we can't say whether or not it is A)funny(unlikely) or B)describes you well(likely, since it's likely not funny)
The guy is trying to solve love mathematically. First he takes the square root of love, and then the cosine. Failing in those endeavures, he tries to take the derivative of love with respect to x. Next he tries to premultiply it by the identity matrix, which in linear algebra is about the same as multiplying it by one. Finally, he attempts to take the continous fourier transform of love. Of course, these are all doomed to failure, because as anyone knows, love is anything but continuous! As such, he concludes that his normal approach is useless in this situation.
It's both hilarious, and perfectly descriptive of me.

Eh, don't listen to that silly silly Daron. Of course we can tell you all what the secret is.
The clan site is back up, and this time is much improved! How much improved? Well, gone is the pointless crap that once cluttered it. Added is a link to the current clan thread. Made to work perfectly are all the pages (still working on the contest pages, but those should be done by the end of the week.) Newly formatted is the past contests page, the members page, the main page, and most important and notable, member pages. Mine's the only one up right now (start sending me your crap so I can make your page) but they look much more kickass now I think. Finally, we're at a decently easy to remember address (the best that one can get without spending money or dealing with DNS.) I proudly present to everyone, the new clan page!
Right now I'm finalizing the template for member pages, so please give as much input as you have on that. Once I decide it's finallized, I'll start to bug you incessantly to get me information for your page as soon as possible.

Your dog and I are so proud of you Mikey! SO PROUD!!
I'll go ahead and write up something.....again for you and you can include it on the site!
As for the comic.....I'm saddened and dismayed that you found that "hilarious". Humorous....maybe, but not hilarious. You, my friend, are destined to wake up each morning in your lab coat. I'm sorry it has come to this.
Darin is a mean boy and as such I am making sure to spell his name wrong in every post I put him in.:mad:
July 3.......Our nations most recognizable landmarks and cities have been destroyed. Survivers are setting out in RV's to a remote location somewhere in the Nevada desert. Our military has been weakened by an armada of alien crafts that have decimated our arial and land attack systems. It doesn't matter though....every advance and assault we have attempted on these large and small alien vessels have been met with an impenitrable forcefield. Nukes have been useless against these invaders!..........

Hey Weightloss is weightloss....can't argue with that! It is a multi-billion dollar industry. We really need to reinstate the tapeworm tablet...that worked damnit!
Yeah, truth be told I was shocked when I discovered I had lost between 15 to 20 pounds. Since my physical activity had decreased I actualy think it was lost muscle mass due to inactivity. I've decided to increase my activity and become healthy again, I need to gain that weight back...preferably in muscle mass. So I have decided to increase the protien in my diet, double the eggs, and run every morning. At the moment I am too sore to run....but not too sore to crack two eggs in my meals. I best get the running in or I may gain that weight back in ways I don't want to.
Mt Fuji was a blast. I started at the traditional begining shrine where I prayed to the gods for safe passage and purchased a ward against evil. Armed with that my sister and I hiked a very long time to camp 5 where people just drive to. Most of that hiking was not very steep and we were surrounded by many singing birds and trees and such. We passed various markers like camp 1 which were deralect for some reason. Several stone shrines here and there, lots of cool stuff like that.
From camp 5 it got really steep and the treeline gave way to volcanic rock of red, grey, and black. The ground was gravely with that and every step caused a person to sink back. Especialy if they carried a rediculously heavy backpack. Camp 7 was steep and I had to go hands and feet to climb up the rock, that was actualy the easiest part for me as it used different muscles and I am used to that kind of climbing.
We walked in the dark and wet windly clouds for a while untill we finaly reached camp 8.5.....or at least the one we thought was it. Turns out we were a station behind, but the guy did tell us that he was the last camp on the mountain before the summit.
The last hike to the summit was a challange, cold, rainy, and had an incredible amount of traffic. The people were walking slowly step by step just like Mt Kinabalu. The difference...well I actualy didn't mind that pace as I desperatly needed it.
I'm actualy less sore now than I thought I would be. Thats a good thing I guess. But one of my toenails seems dead and looks like it will fall off in a few days. Ouch. :-p
I can't tell you the feeling of accomplishment I got from getting to the top and back down. I mean It is fun and a great thing to do anyway, but this mountain seemed tougher than anything I've been on before....thanks to my physical ability. I mean I seriously thought about giving up. Making it to the top was fantastic. And spending time with my sister....We do many things together and now we can say we did a little trekking up the tallest mountain in japan together. How cool is that?

Chris, that's a great story. Congratulations, seriously, that's awesome. I hope you can visit BC and hike some with me, but you'll have to take it easy on me, I haven't hiked much in the past 10 years! But I'm in good overall shape and ready for some fun. There's lots to climb in this province!
DUX has his car back, so he can drive to the liquor store now! Saves time... more time to drink! W00T!
Hey Dave, what's the appropriate drawback for a 3/2 soldier for :symw:?
Well, it's been a lot of work, but I've added a clan constitution to the site. Basically, it's the rules we've established over the years in one concise, authorative document. Take a look over it and let me know if there is anything that you completely disagree with, think needs to be reworded, or should be removed.

I will, just as soon as I finish eating this ice cream, going to bed, having nightmares because I ate ice cream right before bed, and then a bunch of stuff tomorrow.
Today has become a where we sit in our house for most of the day. When it gets cooler outside, you and your family go watch a line of cars, kids organizations and politicians funnel down the main drag and wave that forced smile at you. We do have little Kimmie Meisner....currently the World Champion women's figure skater in this little shin dig.
Then we fight and claw for a 6x6 space on an open field where we watch the japanese, chinese and korean made fireworks spectacular. Not that there's anything wrong with that.....just not the great time I look forward to!
SO I DON'T!:D
Luckily we have a friend that lives just over the hill from where they light those puppies off, so we can sit in his big above ground pool.....(trailer parkish baby!!) and stay cool as the lights explode overhead! And for that I'm way excited!
...As luck may have it, we have found a man....an ordinary man...that has figured out a way to "infect" the mothership! All attemps to beat these aliens have failed....but we have one of their ships. We can approach in it....get close enough to the host and enter its inner workings. It's risky but have we to lose!?! The president has seen their plan....he knows that it is only a matter of time before they rid our planet of every resource. There is precious little time left to execute our plan. We have recruited the finest pilots to take on thsi task but only two may enter the predator's vessel.
Can they dissarm the alien force-shield in time to save Earth..............?
The genius and the military hero make their way into mother ship and infect her with the computer virus that can lower their defense system here and on Earth!
Just as the ships on Earth are about to once again fire on humanity, the hapless drunk-turned-do-gooder flies his only remaining missle into the ships main weapon.....its only weakness! With a glorious explosion the vehicle of destruction falls to earth! The message is relayed around the world and the largest airstrike ever takes place destorying those who dared to anihilate our planet!!
Thus...Independence Day becomes a day for the WORLD to rejoice around.
Sappy I know.....but the movie was pretty good!!
Dairren (misspelled, of course).........good for you! I didn't think anyone would get it........

I....um...worked. But I did watch world cup soccer....okay that was the 5th for me....but really early. I never expected italy to win, or get to the finals. I don't think anyone did. Please let Portugal beat France.....grrrrr.

Because it's his lead up to July 4th. I got it jj, + enjoyed. Don't listen to the stiffs.
Thanks Ria.......I even threw in the 'ol "invisitext" trick to add to my tomfoolery. I guess the fact that HBO showed the damn movie everyday leading up to the 4th I felt I had to share!!
I'll work on an updated bio this week before I go on :dance:Vacation!!:dance: I'm little tired from last night...we spiked a watermelon with some muddled vodka, lime juice, sugar and fresh mint! Then we dumped the mixture in a watermelon and scoped it out for all to get loopy on! It was deelish! Then we used the rest of the vodka mixture and made "Half and Half's" with some fresh brewed Ice Tea!! YUM! Ohhh baby....little slow this morning!

So, I feel incredibly sick right now. It oculd be due to one of the following.
I just got back from riding 3 miles, uphill, in heat and humidity.
I just got done with my oral final in German (Daron, don't even think of a joke here. The ease of it is beneath your obvious talents.)
I've been awake for the last 21 hours.
Over the last 15 hours, all I've had to eat was a bag of Goldfish crackers and a Monster energy drink. Going back to the past 40 hours, all I've had to eat was the goldfish, the Monster, and a pair of veggie burgers (totalling 600 calories.)
Or maybe it's all of those things, telling that I'm a stupid stupid man.
In other news, submit your profiles you retched Spaniards!
