About not getting enough sleep, I'm still up at 2am in the morning
Still up and bothering me at that ;).
As for being up, work kept me up till 3 a.m., and then my dear mother actually called to make me wake up at 10 (my alarm was on, but she still called :gonk:). Ugh, I would have liked to get lots of sleep after last night at work, (I had a fight with a coworker.....)

Yay for new thread I guess. I kind of miss the 'Called Puns', but I guess everyone is on that wagon now.
JJ - I tried to add your bio but SOMEONE locked the old thread before the new one was made. So I couldn't go back and pull the text (w/ tags) off your bio. Same for the banner link. Made things difficult. Post it here and I'll update the OP. Thanx Ria!

Heh, that looks something like my first deck. Except I had Earth Elemental in there somewhere. I remember we had all kinds of dual lands, didn't bother with sleeves etc. I mean, they were just 2 lands instead of one, it wasn't anything impressive.
Yeah..
I don't think that the elimination of manaburn(if it's not just a rumor) is a big deal at all. However, calling it 'the battlefield' absolutely annoys me to no end. It just sounds so kiddy. I guess they're just trying to make Magic appeal to a (much) younger audience now. It's obnoxious.

I guess if you're going to go mainstream with a video game, then you should find a "name" for the playing field.
I remember a friend of mine sitting in Another Universe with 2 booster displays from behind the counter, searching each one looking for Shivan Dragons and Vesuvan Dopplgangers. I must have seen 2x Underground Sea, a Tundra and a Taiga and been bothered by them. I put them back in the box and didn't buy them.

I started in Unlimited/Revised era. I was a kid at Church Camp. Some of the counselors had MTG cards and, trying to be cool, I got into it. I would give them $ to buy me some and they'd bring back cards (not unopened packs) for me. No telling what kinda Moxen goodies those pricks stole. I was just a kid. I don't even think I understood the game the first few years.
Fast forward 5 years or so. I had quit and sold most of my cards. But I had kept a deck with Maze of Ith, Shivans and what not. Having never used sleeves either: I left that deck on the backseat of my car for a few months held together by pony-tail holders. One day I grabbed it and all the cards had stuck together from condensation and heat, etc.

Kung Fu star Carradine found dead
Kill Bill stars David Carradine and Uma Thurman
David Carradine believed he delivered "some of my best work" in Kill Bill
Kill Bill and Kung Fu star David Carradine has been found dead in a Bangkok hotel room on Thursday.
Thai police told the BBC a hotel maid found the 72-year-old naked in a wardrobe with a cord around his neck and other parts of his body.
The US star was in Thailand filming his latest film, Stretch, according to his personal manager Chuck Binder.
Mr Binder said the news was "shocking", adding: "He was full of life, always wanting to work... a great person."
Police said the actor's body was found in a suite at the 5-star Swissotel Nai Lert Park hotel.
A US embassy official confirmed the actor's death, but added that the cause of death had not yet been established.
Mark Kermode pays tribute to David Carradine
However, Thai newspaper The Nation reported that police believe the actor took his own life, and preliminary investigations found that he hanged himself

Ooooh, The Called loves drama. What was the fight about?
Yay for new thread I guess. I kind of miss the 'Called Puns', but I guess everyone is on that wagon now.
Well, here's the deal with all that fighting jazz.
Preprecursor: The argument escalated so quickly I'm not quite sure what happened, here's the best I can remember it
Precursor: I work at Zaxby's (google it, they serve chicken fingers and wings), as the fry cook/cashier/assembler of plates/whatever. I have a coworker named Josh, who is about 5'5, wears nerdy glasses, was home schooled (and as such is socially awkward and maladjusted), and talks a tremendous amount of ****. Now I've been away during school, and am just back from the summer, and hadn't met Josh before, and apparently the other emloyees have just been letting him talk crap to everyone. Now I like to talk a lot of **** personally, but it's mostly fun and light hearted and joking. This guy liks to try and pick on people, which is where I draw the line. There is no reason to get personal with people.
So the night starts with Josh doing his usual routine of running off at the mouth about irrelevent stuffs, all the while acting like hot ****. Whatevs, he's not really talking to me so I don't care. Well after a bit of talking, he starts to put me on blast :mad:, talking about how I'm hyporcritical because I'm always telling him not to but into my conversations, and yet I like to talk a lot, and about how I think I'm so smart, blah blah blah yackity schmackity.
Then somehow Josh gets on the topic of the military pay scale, and is telling the people soon to enlist that all military branches pay the same. This is not completely true, since though base pay is the same in all branches, there are several other factors and incentives involved. I explain this, Josh gets upset because he's wrong, starts arguing, using such phrases as "yeah well my dad's in the military", as if that makes his point any more valid :rolleyes:. Then a little later, Josh is still talking about me and other rude/defamins stuffs, so I tell him something to the effect of:
kpaca:"Josh would you just shut up, you're not smarter than everyone".
Josh: "See, you're always trying to twist peoples words, I never said that, you're a hyporcrite and a work twister, yadda yadda"
kpaca: "Do you think I'm smarter than you?"
Josh: "No, I think you're an idiot"
kpaca: "What was your ACT score Josh?"
Josh: "27"
kpaca: "31, now suck it and shut up"
Josh then proceeds to tell me something about how I'm someone who thinks their hot ****, but really isn't, and I talk to much and I'm going to get in trouble later in life and I'm really not going to amount to anything. He also called me ignorant in here somewhere, though I'm not sure where.
This pisses me off, so I decide to very calmly explain to Josh that he is maladjusted and socially awkward, and is a little ***** that would have been taken care of in High School if he hadn't been coddled by his over-protective parents, and then I proceeded to explain to him what a napolean complex was, and how he had one and no matter what he did, he would always be short and unintimidating. The rest of the employees howled with laughter (win the crowd, win the battle ;))
Apparently that was the correct button to push for Josh, because he slammed the knife he was using on the cutting board, and proceeded to unleash a stream of cuss words I didn't know he had in his 140 body. "**** You Nick!, You're full of ****, You're a little *****, etc." At the top of his lungs. Customers were looking, and my blood pressure was rising. He then started heading around the counter toward me, at which point I dropped what I was doing to head his way (I'm almost 6'2, and he's 5'5 and kinda skinny, so I'm not sure his plan here). Thankfully before I could get to him another employee John jumped in the way, and by this time a manager had come out of the office to resolve the situation and send Josh home.
Though I didn't get in any trouble, it certainly ruined my night :-/. I'm also a little dissapointed in myself for being somewhat unprofessional in the workplace.
Pre-edit: I've been on a typo spree recently, so hopefully there aren't any
Edit fo realz:
David Carradine dies from auto erotic asphyxiation?
Maybe when you're 72 you start needing to try some crazy things :monocle:. Condolences to the Carradine family for their loss.
ha hahah hahahahah . . . you totally trolled dude. Hard to be professional in light of the circumstances; I'd imagine it'd be lost on him. But you get that guy sometimes. Hopefully the 'public humiliation before a crowd of his peers' doesn't trigger any latent postal qualities he may have

You 'work-twister' you
. . . + yeah, Carradine. . . what a sad waste, whatever the truth of the scenario. How embarrassing - one night in Bangkok
Wow. Even as a non-memeber of this clan, I'd vote you in due to the honesty you've shown.
And while I'm not a member, I've been thinking about reapplying. I'm all better now and its good to come back to the first "named" internet group I was once a part of.

I heard it on aim but it's good to hear the full story, but yeah, I hate people like that in general, by people like that I mean people who always think they are right and get overly upset when they are wrong.
I also didn't know you worked at a chicken shop which I find rather hilarious for some reason

One day I grabbed it and all the cards had stuck together from condensation and heat, etc.

Homebrew is creating Magic.
Are you a pilot or a creator??
In unrelated news, I seem to have misplaced my cigarettes.

My first pile was mono-:symg: - Force of Nature + Gaea's Liege!!1. . . eveybody else ran :symb::symr: decks. I never won. I have very fond memories of sitting in the back room of Denny's until ungodly hours, though, losing to El Hajiid + 3 Unholy Strength.
*yawn*
GOOOD MORNING! It's time to go ta WORK
*wanders off catch up on raging swordfight already in progress*
We hate lurkers.
And misplacing your cigarettes is probably the best thing you could have done with them
15 days 'til I get on that plane East
Sooo much to do. We keep finding gear we need to spend $$$ on, + I still need to sign up for classes for next semester. So ready to switch my brain off. . . some friends invited us around to drop blotter on the weekend,
Just not that kind of party anymore
eds - holy 2/2 droppings; David Carradine dies from auto erotic asphyxiation?
Well, here's the deal with all that fighting jazz.
Preprecursor: The argument escalated so quickly I'm not quite sure what happened, here's the best I can remember it
Precursor: I work at Zaxby's (google it, they serve chicken fingers and wings), as the fry cook/cashier/assembler of plates/whatever. I have a coworker named Josh, who is about 5'5, wears nerdy glasses, was home schooled (and as such is socially awkward and maladjusted), and talks a tremendous amount of ****. Now I've been away during school, and am just back from the summer, and hadn't met Josh before, and apparently the other emloyees have just been letting him talk crap to everyone. Now I like to talk a lot of **** personally, but it's mostly fun and light hearted and joking. This guy liks to try and pick on people, which is where I draw the line. There is no reason to get personal with people.
So the night starts with Josh doing his usual routine of running off at the mouth about irrelevent stuffs, all the while acting like hot ****. Whatevs, he's not really talking to me so I don't care. Well after a bit of talking, he starts to put me on blast :mad:, talking about how I'm hyporcritical because I'm always telling him not to but into my conversations, and yet I like to talk a lot, and about how I think I'm so smart, blah blah blah yackity schmackity.
Then somehow Josh gets on the topic of the military pay scale, and is telling the people soon to enlist that all military branches pay the same. This is not completely true, since though base pay is the same in all branches, there are several other factors and incentives involved. I explain this, Josh gets upset because he's wrong, starts arguing, using such phrases as "yeah well my dad's in the military", as if that makes his point any more valid :rolleyes:. Then a little later, Josh is still talking about me and other rude/defamins stuffs, so I tell him something to the effect of:
kpaca:"Josh would you just shut up, you're not smarter than everyone".
Josh: "See, you're always trying to twist peoples words, I never said that, you're a hyporcrite and a work twister, yadda yadda"
kpaca: "Do you think I'm smarter than you?"
Josh: "No, I think you're an idiot"
kpaca: "What was your ACT score Josh?"
Josh: "27"
kpaca: "31, now suck it and shut up"
Josh then proceeds to tell me something about how I'm someone who thinks their hot ****, but really isn't, and I talk to much and I'm going to get in trouble later in life and I'm really not going to amount to anything. He also called me ignorant in here somewhere, though I'm not sure where.
This pisses me off, so I decide to very calmly explain to Josh that he is maladjusted and socially awkward, and is a little ***** that would have been taken care of in High School if he hadn't been coddled by his over-protective parents, and then I proceeded to explain to him what a napolean complex was, and how he had one and no matter what he did, he would always be short and unintimidating. The rest of the employees howled with laughter (win the crowd, win the battle ;))
Apparently that was the correct button to push for Josh, because he slammed the knife he was using on the cutting board, and proceeded to unleash a stream of cuss words I didn't know he had in his 140 body. "**** You Nick!, You're full of ****, You're a little *****, etc." At the top of his lungs. Customers were looking, and my blood pressure was rising. He then started heading around the counter toward me, at which point I dropped what I was doing to head his way (I'm almost 6'2, and he's 5'5 and kinda skinny, so I'm not sure his plan here). Thankfully before I could get to him another employee John jumped in the way, and by this time a manager had come out of the office to resolve the situation and send Josh home.
Though I didn't get in any trouble, it certainly ruined my night :-/. I'm also a little dissapointed in myself for being somewhat unprofessional in the workplace.
Pre-edit: I've been on a typo spree recently, so hopefully there aren't any
Edit fo realz: Maybe when you're 72 you start needing to try some crazy things :monocle:. Condolences to the Carradine family for their loss.
You 'work-twister' you
. . . + yeah, Carradine. . . what a sad waste, whatever the truth of the scenario. How embarrassing - one night in Bangkok
Wow. Even as a non-memeber of this clan, I'd vote you in due to the honesty you've shown.
And while I'm not a member, I've been thinking about reapplying. I'm all better now and its good to come back to the first "named" internet group I was once a part of.

Which character was he in Kill Bill? I'm to lazy to google.
I heard it on aim but it's good to hear the full story, but yeah, I hate people like that in general, by people like that I mean people who always think they are right and get overly upset when they are wrong.
I also didn't know you worked at a chicken shop which I find rather hilarious for some reason
Amazing
But yeah, if Kill Bill was his best work he must have been a pretty average actor + you only see him a few times in both movies.
Nah, either you care that Kung Fu was awesome, or you don't - that was a big part of his legacy.
I wasn't saying Kung Fu wasn't awesome I was just saying that his acting in Kill Bill wasn't that good IMO.
In other news my lady friend made me a meatball sub for dinner, yay for wimmenz who can cook
