To continue what I never finished from the last thread....I found out what those people are that carry around the stuffed animals...FURRIES! There are a couple of them that frequent the store I play at. I've seen more and more at PTQ's in the area as well.

Some dude just walked into my apartment and began removing wall paper. How strange.
Maybe you should go into the bathroom, take a shower and come out and sit in the living room naked. If the guy says anything you tell him that this is your daily routine. Make sure you cook up a grilled cheese sandwich with your weener hanging....really make the guy wonder! Offer him one as well.;)

Done and DONE!! As for the new land...I just hope we don't have the ridiculous names that we had in COK block. The artwork for Planechase is really nice. The lands look amazing!
The Furry with the dig is now wearing a big fluffy tail and a dog collar. I guess that's the thing with them. His friend waers animal ears...fox I think.
You need the showere because you've already seen the guy walking around. If he asks...you're "Airing yourself out so your balls don't chaf from the excess moisture and heat!" But you have to do everything without laughing.

@Kpaka's nude fest....could work...but the guy might decide to join you. O_o
Furries can be interesting...many different degrees of it, can even be a sexual fetish over it. Sometimes there can be a deep rooted theology within it...basically an animal soul placed in a human sort of thing. Course those different facets of it all try to distance themselves from each other as much as possible so there are really different terms that I can't think up off the top of my head. I like furry art for some reason....just comics and movies like disney's Robin Hood.

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.
Pretty good time to hit the housing market - we saw so many nice places for dirt cheap while we in Portland. . . go go foreclosures I guess.
True that it is now a buyers market. Houses in Vegas have been down to a third or a quarter of what they were a year ago. My folks bought a condo that used to sell for $130,000 for $24,000. I'm not sure if Missouri had the housing bubble burst quite so bad...or at all even...but a house is a great buy in general as it typically goes up in value. Just remember, ya gotta save money for a bionic foot.
TFO checked in with an excuse why he's a bit of a no show. Course there are holes in his story...considering he bought a brand new computer and is a student. Anyone know of any school without internet capabilities somewhere on campus? Not like I have internet at home at all either...
Diggy...well I suppose it is about time he was put on the chopping block as well. Did he give any reasoning or comment on his lack of participation.
Seds could probably just be moved to the "and sometimes...." category of called membership. Sentimental value prevents me from wanting to prepare the chopping block for him.
@Cyan: Wern't your dogs able to knock over any garbage can...lid or no? I doubt the electric garbage can would last any better...unless they sell an uber duty model thats large with a low center of gravity. Not something you'd want in the kitchen.
@Yuk: Glad you like the Avvy. I can't recall if I've ever used it before. It is a giant pillbug from Brunei. About the size of one of those giant marbles in a marble set...maybe a little bigger. A graduate student handed it to me and my initial thought was that it was some sort of Bruneian hard candy. That's what it looked like. I bet ria makes chocolates that can look like that. Yum...chocolate rollies....mmmmmm

Also, as far as TFO is concerned, I know he has to pay for everything himself, even though he lives at home, so buying the comp probably cost him the ability to buy internet stuffs. Also, he isn't in college, but high school, hence the lack of net access there probably.
Also also, whats with you guys wanting me naked?

Well I havn't been able to afford internets since I bought my new laptop (the old one died in an alcohol related incident) so I am stuck paying off my new one and going without net till it's paid off, see I need a laptop for school work + work on the go and it's more of a neccessity than internet right now. Well yeah, that's why I vanished, I'll post from my mates computer whenever I can.
Updates:
School is same old same old, trying to ace design, getting stuck under a **** ton of work.
Finally lasted more than a week with a girl who I've been dating for about a month now, shes cool and decent looking, she's seems to really get me, she says that "Under my guise of *******ry* I'm actually a nice guy" I mean, that makes sense I guess, right? Anywho I've been spending most of my time with her, at work or doing school work, sort of lost touch with the whole internet community, can't wait till I pay this laptop off because leaving you guys stranded for so long sort of killed me and I had been looking for a chance to get a fairly long explanitory post out, well here it is.
I'll probs re-read some old pages to catch up with the likes of you guys.
edit: *harsher languange version of butthole
quoting for anyone who missed.
And yeah, I do have a job on the side, I forget not everyone reads in other places I post, I work at a video store, I saved up for ages for the comp ($1800) and havn't had a computer or net since, and my school has computers but blocks any forums in filters.

I was awakened at 5:50am by a loud sounding crash this morning. I jumped out of bed scared as hell to find one of my cats had knocked my PS3 off the top of the big screen. I picked it up, plugged it in and turned it on. It seemed fine, but I'll be pissed if it isn't.
..Can't have nothin.
I heard on the news a few weeks ago that US banks made about $38 billion from overdrafts last year. That's over 1 billion overdrafts. There are only about 400 million people in the US. Everyone would have had to overdraft 2.5 times. Nuts eh?

If we cut 3 people could we still even be a clan?

Winston might be a good call. You're missing the Australian last name though....Something like Oolagongnalongdongstrongbong.

You're just tempting the kitty at that point.

I wouldn't go that far, but it's certainly helped me reach my financial goals quicker than I could have ever anticipated.
As far as Kristen goes...
I guess as soon as I work up the balls? She's going back to school right now, and I just haven't wanted to drop the pressure and stress that comes with setting up a wedding on her.

Yeah, well I hate it. It just doesn't seem like you enough. Of course, I'm still mourning the loss of the original Dagg avatar from HoMM3.
I've been pretty caught up with trying to get a job (still don't have one, but the start of school means there are more openings now, and I have 10ish applications out there and 2 interviews next week (all part time unfortunately).
I've also bee completely obsessed with this program I'm writing. I've attached a very beginning below (unzip and then run the evolution.jar file (requires java to be installed)). In short, it's a virtual sandbox to play in, in which creatures will be able to evolve behaviours and traits over the generations. It's already many thousands of lines of code, and I've only scratched the surface of what it will be. I expect this to be a project that takes me many months, if not years.
Dave, I had that happen to my Wii once. It survived fine (the game even kept playing without skipping a beat) except that the fan broke, causing it to overheat and turn off after about 20 minutes of play. Thankfully, Nintendo fixed it for me.
As for names, I know the first name of 7 of the clan's current members. Is that good or bad?

Better than trying to pin down your name...figure as soon as we all get it you'll just legally change it. :-p Isn't that right BLOD/Bikemike/Mike/Tomike/Tom/Binary...etc
have fun in the sandbox.
Oh, I need your help doing computer smart stuff. Seems my computer said I had to fix bugs and problems so I said, "sure." Which undid what you helped me with. Including the getting rid of hybernation...I'm not sure if the computer reinstated the hidden unneeded backup thing that sucked 30gigs from my harddrive. Guess I should read those "fix it" things. I mean I manually turned them off for a reason.
@Ryan. I think Obama just passed...or is trying to pass...a first time home buyer tax credit upwards of $8,000. might be worth checking into...
Ria, you should know TFO's name...you're the one who lives close enough to say hi to him.

BD, isn't that program called, uh, Spore? Is coding java tough, or is it all bubblegum + rubberbands?
No, Spore sucked. The goal here is to have a scientifically accurate evolution simulator, not a game that is basically a glorified creature creator. For example, I'm working on graphs for the program now, which you will be able to have display the values of specific genes, so you can monitor, say, the creature's likelyhood to signal other creatures if it finds food, in real time. In fact, I've been doing a lot of reading on evolutionary biology for this thing (including some really cool journal papers).
I find Java to be a real pleasure to code in. Sometimes the GUI elements can be finicky, but things like tabbed panes and buttons and sliders are all prebuilt for you, which is nice. Really the only problems I've been having is that I'm up to 29 classes right now, and counting. Keeping track of inheritance and dependencies and coupling is starting to get a little hectic. In general it all boils down to three major types of class, GUI, simulation field, and neural network. The problems happen when I need the GUI to be able to access classes in the neural net.

Yeah, I am pretty much going out of my mind with excitement.
It'll be good to not have to drive for an hour to see my woman.
Pretty good time to hit the housing market - we saw so many nice places for dirt cheap while we in Portland. . . go go foreclosures I guess.
True that it is now a buyers market. Houses in Vegas have been down to a third or a quarter of what they were a year ago. My folks bought a condo that used to sell for $130,000 for $24,000. I'm not sure if Missouri had the housing bubble burst quite so bad...or at all even...but a house is a great buy in general as it typically goes up in value. Just remember, ya gotta save money for a bionic foot.

Seds could probably just be moved to the "and sometimes...." category of called membership. Sentimental value prevents me from wanting to prepare the chopping block for him.

@Yuk: Glad you like the Avvy. I can't recall if I've ever used it before. It is a giant pillbug from Brunei. About the size of one of those giant marbles in a marble set...maybe a little bigger.

It's already many thousands of lines of code, and I've only scratched the surface of what it will be. I expect this to be a project that takes me many months, if not years.
Dave, I had that happen to my Wii once. It survived fine (the game even kept playing without skipping a beat) except that the fan broke, causing it to overheat and turn off after about 20 minutes of play. Thankfully, Nintendo fixed it for me.
As for names, I know the first name of 7 of the clan's current members. Is that good or bad?

Better than trying to pin down your name...figure as soon as we all get it you'll just legally change it. :-p Isn't that right BLOD/Bikemike/Mike/Tomike/Tom/Binary...etc
have fun in the sandbox.
Oh, I need your help doing computer smart stuff. Seems my computer said I had to fix bugs and problems so I said, "sure." Which undid what you helped me with. Including the getting rid of hybernation...I'm not sure if the computer reinstated the hidden unneeded backup thing that sucked 30gigs from my harddrive. Guess I should read those "fix it" things. I mean I manually turned them off for a reason.
@Ryan. I think Obama just passed...or is trying to pass...a first time home buyer tax credit upwards of $8,000. might be worth checking into...
Ria, you should know TFO's name...you're the one who lives close enough to say hi to him.
Cheers,

BD, isn't that program called, uh, Spore? Is coding java tough, or is it all bubblegum + rubberbands?
So is it time to give kpeaches the keys to the Bat Cave?
eds - Daggs, your AIM name doesn't work for me. Whassup with that?
No, Spore sucked. The goal here is to have a scientifically accurate evolution simulator, not a game that is basically a glorified creature creator. For example, I'm working on graphs for the program now, which you will be able to have display the values of specific genes, so you can monitor, say, the creature's likelyhood to signal other creatures if it finds food, in real time. In fact, I've been doing a lot of reading on evolutionary biology for this thing (including some really cool journal papers).
I find Java to be a real pleasure to code in. Sometimes the GUI elements can be finicky, but things like tabbed panes and buttons and sliders are all prebuilt for you, which is nice. Really the only problems I've been having is that I'm up to 29 classes right now, and counting. Keeping track of inheritance and dependencies and coupling is starting to get a little hectic. In general it all boils down to three major types of class, GUI, simulation field, and neural network. The problems happen when I need the GUI to be able to access classes in the neural net.
Just hit me up on AIM and I'll help you out anytime.
