Take you pree-teen BS somewhere else please. Sorry if im crumpy but I've had a bittoo much to drink."


What are you talking about? Who's the "pree-teen"? And where did this "BS" come from?

And lastly...If you've had too much to drink - what are you doing responding to a forum on the internet when you should be either crashin with your friends (You know what those are right?) or goin to bed?

But hey...freedom of speech right?

I think you should get some rest and check in a gain tomorrow.

That is just about the funniest thing I've read on these forums. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. LOL! Your always good for a laugh Raven.

Forget it. It is useless arguing with an Ignoranus such as Raven.

Your right. It is just frustrating how Raven uses the Dopeler Effect in his long winded posts.

Been browsing the unword dictionary lately, haven't we?
I like sarchasm. That really fits better than sarcasm most of the time . Especially here.

I awoke in a fever. The bedclothes were all soaked in sweat.

Quote: "ya'll"


Lol, no offense Raven, but it annoys me when you throw a "ya'll" or "christ" in your posts, because here in the United States both of those would be considered something a more southern person would say, whereas you are from England, and well just imaging someone with an English accent saying "ya'll" is very annoying. Lol,

Just me...

i picked up some things from when i lived in Tx with my sister, i kinda liked them cause they saved me time... but Christ... hell i've been saying that since i were a knipper about yay high
probably is just annoying because you haven't a clue what my voice sounds like.

and when someone says British, its like saying "oh that guy has an american accent" theres like what 30 different accents, maybe even one per state and such. The one you tend to see on TV is the more highbrow and elecution english... if there was one accent close to my own (and i'm not saying its exactly just close-ish) it'd be Spikes from Buffy. About the only decent one I can think of that is kinda close. But I guess even that one sounds weird ...

American Accents?

We have them, but you could hardly tell, and you're right, there's like 30 variations of each American accent. Kinda funny when you think about it.

Kinda wish I had a british accent. Hanging around the forums I've picked up a few new words though.

"mate"-(dang you indi )
"cheers"-(from rich, and just about everyone else.)



A book? I hate book. Book is stupid.

Reading this topic is about the nerdiest thing I've done this month .

Having a kid and settling down made me a nerd, I always spent a lot of time on PC's but once I hit about 18/19 I sorta stopped and spent more time with friends, drinking and sowing oats etc etc. Having a reason to stay in sorta got me back into coding, if it wasn't for my woman I'd probably be in bits by now (was getting into too much trouble with the drinking and womanisationing).

Lol, okay Raven, of course being a typical stupid American I wouldn't know.

My least favorite American accent is the New York accent...oh God, I can't stand it, it's so annoying...

Canadian accents, now THOSE are funny eh...

lol I love the way these posts explode. I seem to be running out of time and not able to check back as often as before this academic year started, so now I'm playing catch up.

Just wanted to point out though, as a computer nerd, I am not a ladies man. Don't think it's possible to be both into computers, programming, games etc. and live the life of a porn star. My technique is entirely through probability. For example, this Saturday we have our halloween party, so I have added 4 attractive ladies to the guest list - an old friend from my first degree, my old house mates sister, some random Cypriut bird I met in the pub last quiz night, and my mates ex-girlfriend.

Now see the excitement of my forthcoming evening. All of them are way out of my league, cos they're rediculously fit, and they all have dangers. Old friend is dangerous because I'm risking a friendship, mates sister is dangerous because .... well, it's my mates sister!! Random bird from the pub quiz is dangerous cos she could be insane, and mates ex-girlfriend is incredibly dangerous as my mate will actually be there too.

So my point is, you dont have to get laid to shed your nerdiness and have some fun. If I end up pulling any of them, I have a 25% of a beating, a 50% chance of serious awkwardness and a ?% chance of contracting a Cypriut STD. lol. But with the aid of alcohol I shall pull through! hehehe.

Only at university can you design such a situation. I think I'll stay forever.

Insiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide!
