    Don't complain

    look how long it took them to follow up on Kid Icarus
  • Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
    Lazuli: That is kind of a shame. It could be interesting to see where the story goes from here, especially since Samus is now, in a sense, the last Metroid in the universe.

    Oddly, I feel kind of sad about what happened to the all the specimens on the BSL. I hope none of them were extinct in the wild.
  • The first time I ventured into Yack Fest was the day that the second updates thread was broken by Knighted.

    That should give everybody a good feeling for how much tenure I have.
  • I was in Yack Fest when we were still on the first updates thread.

    In fact, I made the current one.

  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I ranked 43rd in total posts in the original Troper Updates

    I used to beat myself up for not posting in the original Updates more than I did. Felt like I "missed out" on something.

    Especially once I learned that Anonus had been a regular there. I kept thinking that I could have "advanced" our friendship better if I'd been interacting with him there all along.
  • This place would only be about half as fun without you, squid.

    Neither would it be the same without you Imi!
  • I remem8er when I first started talking a8out petrific8ion on TVT. XXXXD

    Aww, thanks Clock. I like having you around here too.

    ^You confessed it in the Pit of Lechery
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    So anyway, a decent color inkjet printer cost upwards of $1000 in 1991. Considering you can get one that outperforms it in pretty much every way for $30 now, I think we've come a long way. XD
  • Rawr and maybe potatoes.
  • Yes, yes I did. ::::o
  • So the town tornado alarm just went off, and my mom came upstairs to tell me to turn my music down.

    I informed her that I don't listen to dubstep

  • Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
    Lazuli: I would give a loud hoot of OOOOH BUUUUUUUURN but that's foolish.

    Vriska: I remember petrification fondly.

    Just to make sure: is this a drill or an actual emergency? Let's hope you're all right either way.

    Loud music has been a known cause for Tornadoes.

    True story.

    I have no idea who is in charge of making that thing go off, but it does so constantly and seemingly at random.

    Of course it's supposed to go off at 10 PM every day to mark the start of the town curfew, but it doesn't always even do that.

    Also the one time we had a flatwind (think a torando without the spinny part), it didn't go off until about an hour after it was over.

    Town curfew? Where do you live, Stalingrad?
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    We seem to get tornado warnings periodically...I've never actually seen a tornado, except while driving through Kansas or someplace.

    I saw a tornado off of I-40 in New Mexico once. It was baller
  • Town curfew? Where do you live, Stalingrad?

    One of three towns in PA that still has one! And you can get busted if you're out at night without a good reason ("good reason" being defined as "work" or "my wife's having a baby" and little else).
  • I still like petrific8ion.

    A lot.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    Good night.

    Good God.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    Good night Fouria.
  • Yep.

    I actually got my parents slapped with a $80 fine two years ago. I was hungry, it was fairly late at night (around 9-ish), and there was no food in the house, so I took some money and went to Tony's Pizzeria (which is open til ten), and I there met a friend of mine, and we sort of hung out there until it closed an hour later. On our way home (we walked together) a cop actually made us get into his car and "escorted" us home, our parents were given the fine tickets later.

    Lately they've actually been increasing the fines, since there's been a rash of car break-ins around here.

    Rough town, I guess.

    Night, Fouria.

    Lazuli: Well, now. Those both sound annoying. :|

    Atlanta gets tornado warnings sometimes. I've never seen funnel clouds myself, but I have been in some pretty nastly lightning and rainfall.
  • It's actually not, which is the funny thing. These car break-ins (I should note that nothing has actually been stolen yet, if the papers can be believed) are the closest thing we've had to a crime spree in over a decade up here. The cops are way worse than the criminals up here, and I'm not just saying that cuz I think that about all police (my uncle's a police chief), it's just these clowns.
  • READ MY CROSS SHIPPING-FANFICTION, DAMMIT!

    i get so angry sometimes i just punch plankton --Klinotaxis
    I think there's a curfew at the town I grew up in (for those under 18, of course).
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    ^^They would?

    Yeah, the curfew here is circumstantial if you're above eighteen. You can get out if it if you have what is deemed a good reason, as I said.  

    Though I should note people do get regularly fined for being out too late. Even the employees of the hospital across the street are technically not allowed to go outside for smoke breaks until 5AM (when the curfew is officially lifted)

    Man, you need to go Carrie on this town. Leave the place in smoking ruins.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.


    Take that, movie trailers
  • People like strawberries.
  • The place is already in smoking ruins. I live two blocks from an abandoned church that has also functioned as an illegal nightclub in the past.

    Figure that one out.

    Yeah...I'm inclined to agree with this, honestly.

    Unless "I'M A FUCKING ADULT AND DESERVE TO GET MY BOOZE ON" is considered a "good reason".
  • Haha, no.

    Justice wouldn't last here. This is a dry town.

    Yes, that's still a thing.

    Well, technically it's only illegal to sell liquor here, not buy it, so there's one store right on the outside of the town border.

    But that's about it

    Either that town has had major problems with raucous after-hour hellraisers in the past, or its median age is over 55. 
  • You are correct on point two, CF.

    See, Palmerton is known primarily for two things 1) we are a superfund site, meaning we as a town managed to kill a fucking mountain by poisoning it with zinc 2) there are three separate retirement communities in town. Four if the hospital is counted (which it might as well be)

    Actually the drug of choice there is apparently 'shrooms.

    ...not that I've ever been there or anything

    Let me get this straight. 

    1. You live on what amounts to a toxic waste dump that has done horrible things to the environment
    2. Your town is full of old people who do not want to listen to the younger set
    3. Giant hospital
    4. Church used sacrilegiously as a rave hall

    Now I'm not insinuating anything here at all, but you don't happen to have any ancient indian burial grounds littering the place too, do you?
  • Given that we live in Pennsylvania, where towns are regularly named things like "Catasaqua" and "Tamaqua", that is not only possible, but likely

    also I should note that despite what I jokingly implied, I have never been to the abandoned church, and in fact I'm fairly certain it hasn't been regularly used as a nightclub in years.

    As for the hospital, I actually live directly across the street from it. Here, let me see if I can't find a picture.

  • I actually couldn't, but here's the nearby Community Services Center (I've been in that place, it's basically a glorified bingo hall)

    and here's the town welcome sign

  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    The town I live in is on top of a mine.

    It'll probably collapse someday

    It's also in Pennsylvania, you needed to know etc.
  • i wish to come up with a song lyric for this signature, but no song lyrics are coming to mind
    Ominous.
