Tinselcat's Wisdom of the Day

[Tinselcat]

:idea: :idea: :idea: As a supreme cat-creature from outer space, I have much zen-ish, splinter-style wisdom which it is my obligation to share with the world (or at least my fellow tmnt fans), so this is where I will post it. Hear my vast wisdom: if you come across a blue mango, do a background check on it first! It may be Azure's cousin! :idea: :idea: :idea:

[Loolaa]

*sits cross legged at Tinselcat's feet awaiting more wisdom*

[azure turtle]

Bah, none of my cousins look like mangos. :razz:

[HorseTechie]

*blinks*

My wise word for the day: Ta-bet-te!

*I really do neeeed sleep!*

[Loolaa]

*slowly repeats HT's wise words*
Ta-bet-le... ta-bet-le.... ???

*looks confused*

:???:

[Deskjet Shredder]

Ta-bet-te? Sounds like a magic spell :anime: Which language is that?

[Deskjet Shredder]

Okay, here is my wisdom :smile:
Shakespeare once said: "Life is a game". In this case, where are the "Setup Options"? Where's the source code? After all, does anyone know the cheat codes?
Oh, well... Please, pay no attention to the crazy programmer :goofygri:

[HorseTechie]

*snert* 'Tabette' is Japanese for 'eat'. That word is the command form, while the formal form of it is 'ta-be-masu' and the informal is 'ta-be-ru'. :wink:

[Loolaa]

:roll: Ah... now I know.....

[azure turtle]

Yes, o mighty tribal elder! :grin:
*begins to eat mango cake*

[HorseTechie]

Mm... and other saying I tend to hold fast too in RL...

"A crumb from the rich man's table is far better than a poor man's feast."

[azure turtle]

LOL! That saying seems to hold the truth. Goodness, TC...looks like you've got lots of other wise ones here. :anime:

[Loolaa]

Heheh Tinselcat, looks like you've got competition for wise one of the board... :wink:

*Splinter saunters in*

Splinter: Now you have even more competition!!
*twirls his whiskers around a claw..*

[Tinselcat]

*Walks in in bhuddist monk's robes and sits in lotus position on the ground* thank you for coming, my children. you see that an enlightened mind is the key to reaching nirvana. here is my wisdom, for you to meditate over: mango tabemasuka? *sees splinter with hostile look on his face* woops, gotta go, catch ya later! *hikes up skirts and scuttles away*

[azure turtle]

*blinks*
Huh? :???:

[HorseTechie]

*HT wrinkles her face* Mango wa, tabemasen... *turns to Azure and gives it to him instead* Doozo!

[azure turtle]

Hmm...
*sniffs the food HT handed to him*
Well...it definitely smells good...
*wonders if it's safe to eat*

[enigma-1]

Old Taloncrest Proverb: Never doubt taste, but above all never doubt scent. It is the key to survival.

[Tinselcat]

tabemasendesuka?! mango o totemo iidesu! *sees splinter advancing, swinging his walking stick* eeeek! arigato, tomodachi! *continues running*

[enigma-1]

*chuckles* Enigma Proverb: Never mess with the rat who carries a big stick and has good aim.

[Kali]

*blinks* I really need to learn Japanese.

[Loolaa]

Yeah, I was thinking I need to as well..

[azure turtle]

*pouts*
Me too...

[HorseTechie]

:lol: Am I the only one who knows what TC said?

[Kali]

Most likely. :lol: I mean, I could pick out a few words, but not enough to get an idea of what she said. Can we get a translation?

[Tinselcat]

Wisdom of the day: translation: i said "do you eat mangos?" then ht said "no, i don't eat mangos" then i said "you don't eat them?! mangos are very good!" ya, i think that about sums it up. hmmm, it seems i should have more wisdom today... eh, i'll get on the forum later when i think of some. err, give me a heads-up if you see splinter, i think i lost him... *glances about nervously*

[azure turtle]

:nod: I see...it all makes sense now.
*does the happy dance*

[enigma-1]

Oh brother... -.-

[HorseTechie]

Heh.. yeah.. DO NO go into TMNT Genreal Discussion, unless you like to read smuck spam of the lowest form.

[enigma-1]

I am NOT even going to ask.

[HorseTechie]

Man.. and he knows that Krang/Shredder have not been on much too. Notice how he stays away from the other areas, cause we're here! Snot-nosed eediots. :flaming:

[enigma-1]

Isn't there a way to keep him off for good?

[HorseTechie]

I'm sure Krang has tried.. but we think he gets in through library computers. It's hard to block specific IP addies that way.

A royal way one wastes his skill and intelligence. Making trouble and chaos for others.

[enigma-1]

You know, at this rate, I may just call in my big guns. I've got a private chat that my friends and I use for RPGs sometimes. If this keeps up, I may just give the addy to Krang/Shredder so they can give it to people who don't cause trouble like this.

[Peanut]

We need someone who's on alot to take over on that board so Shred and Krang don't have to be on to get rid of it.

[enigma-1]

Yeah, but who? Those who already come on a lot have their hands full w/ other forums. It's not fair to ask them to do anymore.

[Peanut]

Me and another guy used to be on constantly. We'd never get off. Too bad he's not still around.

[enigma-1]

I'll help out if I can, but I'm usually only on at night. The line needs to stay open during the day, so I can't do much then.

[Peanut]

I was usually here in the early morning. 11:30 to 12:30 and then usually from 5 or 6 to 1 or 2 sometimes 3.

[enigma-1]

That could help, but there's still the gaps when he can make trouble. *grumbles*

[azure turtle]

Grrr...I can't believe that upstart has started spamming yet again. He honestly has nothing better to do.

[Krang]

He was using a static IP this time, so maybe he changed ISPs. If so, he's gone for good, unless he uses someone else's computer...

BTW, azure, are you interested in being a moderator for GTMNTD? We could use another moderator in case something like that happens again.

[azure turtle]

*blinks*
Really? Sure, I'd love too!
*whips out his katana*
I'm ready to cut down on the spam! :evilgrin:

[Kali]

Azure as a moderator. That is a SCARY thought. *slaps Azure on the shell* Good luck with that!

[azure turtle]

*pouts*
You don't think I'd do a good job as a mod? :sad:

[Kali]

*smiles* Aww, I was just joking! Of course I think you'd make a great moderator!

[azure turtle]

*blushes*
Thanks, Kali! :anime:

[Kali]

Those gold stars look so pretty!

[HorseTechie]

*lol* Whow.. nice set of stars there, Azure! I think you'll do a good job as a mod too. :wink:

Hrmm.. what will your title be? "The Great Mango Greeter"...? "The One and Only"...? Or better.. "Blue Turtles Rule!" *heehee*

[Kali]

*giggles* How about "Glomp Victim"? Or maybe "'Fraidy Ninja"?

[azure turtle]

*gets blinded by the gold stars*
Woah...
*salutes Krang*
Thank you for your confidence, Lord Krang! I shall do my best to serve under the Foot Clan!
*turns to Kali and HT*
I honestly don't know if I want a custom title...but, um...thanks for the suggestions. :embarass:
*mutters*
Fraidy Ninja? Hmph...

[HorseTechie]

:lol: Fraidy Ninja... *clears throat*

Aww.. you don't want a title? Or even a set of blue or white stars instead?

[Kali]

*bursts out laughing* Hey, we had to threaten to dump water in your shell to get you to come out yesterday!

[HorseTechie]

*heeee* I just read! But you know, that always works for my pet turtle. (besides squeezing the back part of her shell) She's such a weenie!

Hrrm... so much for "The Blue Mango"...

[azure turtle]

*pouts*
But it was dangerous outside! Anywho, I'm okay now. I've recovered! I think I'll come up with something sooner or later. :grin:

[Machias Banshee]

how about 'mutant blue fruit' It works for you AND your blue mangoes! :lol: *ducks bappage*

[azure turtle]

Why I oughtta...!
*resists urge to bap Machias and glomps her instead*
:razz:

[HorseTechie]

Digs up an interest Korean proverb for the occasion: "Licking the outside of a watermelon."

Which means that you're just scratching the surface, but not dealing with something in depth. :smile:

[azure turtle]

*bows before HT*
Such wise words, great tribal elder! Someday, I shall be full of wisdom too. :grin:

[Loolaa]

I wish I was so wise... :ohwell:

[HorseTechie]

Aww.. but you don't have to be wise. I'm not (cause I'm looking off of things to get my wisdom) Here's another funny pun I saw on a sign while driving to work today...

"Do frightened rabbits form a receding hare line?"

[Tinselcat]

*enters the forum, panting and sweating* not only have i been dodging splinter all day, but i've been inhaling polyeurathane fumes all day at work... *sees strange looks coming in her direction* eeerr... *straightenes up and smoothes out bhuddist monk robes, which are at present rather wrinkled and muddy* ahem, today's wisdom is: I have to go now because someone is waiting for a phonecall.

[Loolaa]

*groans* ,,,receding hair line...
I like Horseabunga! It's a good motto. I saw my collegues horses the other day. Too cute! :smile:

Wow Tinselcat... all this running around avoiding Splinter isn't good for you.
He'll get you eventually, y'know :grin:

[enigma-1]

Taloncrest proverb: The longer the prey runs, the easier to catch.

Enigma proverb: Better to run out of breath then get grounded by a ninja master. :razz:

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: enigma-1 on 2002-05-31 20:22 ]</font>

[azure turtle]

*snicker*
Hareline? :razz: Oy TC, perhaps you should just apologize to Sensei so he'll stop chasing you.
*shrugs*

[enigma-1]

Or she could always take a long vacation till he forgets about it.

[Kali]

Sensei forget? Yeah, right, good luck with that. I think we need the bath girls. (Image joke)

[azure turtle]

*snicker*
I have that issue now! I remember seeing it for the first time when SC scanned it for us :grin:

[enigma-1]

I said a LONG vacation, didn't I?

[Kali]

No way, Splinter remembers everything. I swear he writes it all down.

Kali's wisdom of the day: Going crazy every now and again helps you stay sane.

[enigma-1]

Hmm. Maybe we should introduce Splinter to Fang sometime. She can't write, but I swear she remembers everything you do, right down the exact second.

[Loolaa]

That is so true! *runs off to be crazy*

[Tinselcat]

there ain't no way i'm giving myself up! he'd smash me to a pulp in under 5 minutes! here's some wisdom for the day: she who philosophizes and runs away, lives to philosophize another day! *sits cross-legged on ground and attempts to regain her dignity* all this running around isn't good for my libido! :ohwell:

[enigma-1]

*shrugs* I could always loan you my spare amulet. Not sure if it would be any help, but you can go anywhere with that thing.

[Tinselcat]

*perks up* amulet?

[enigma-1]

*nods* Yep. I have special amulet that allows the wearer to go anywhere they want. But the charge is only good for a few trips before it needs a recharging, so you have to be careful how many times you use it.

[azure turtle]

*is suddenly reminded of Gutwallow*
Okay, that was awkward. :goofygri:

[enigma-1]

Um....:???:

[Kali]

Hey, that could be useful. Hey Azure, what're the coordinents of your bedroom?

[enigma-1]

Don't need cooridinates for this one. Just say where you want to go, snap your fingers twice and you're there.

[Kali]

Cool. :evilgrin:

[enigma-1]

But like I said, you have to be careful how many times you use it. Too many times and the charge runs out, leaving you stranded.

[Kali]

Stranded in Azure's bedroom. Why whatever would I do?

[azure turtle]

*gasp*
Well, I'd definitely find a new bedroom... :oops:

[Tinselcat]

Kali... and azure... in azure's bedroom... you do realize what that implies...? i think you two have had enough fun with the amulet! besides, my life is in jeapordy here! splinter's on a rampage! can i use it? pleeeeeez? ohpleaseohpleaseohplease??

[enigma-1]

*nods* But I want it back. I've only got two of these things and they're hard to come by.

*snaps fingers, a gold and silver amulet appearing* There.

[Kali]

Yeah, go ahead, I don't really need it, I've got shadow walking powers! *goes to make plans*

[azure turtle]

Nooooo! How can you have shadow walking powers? Impossible!
*withdraws into his shell to make plans of defense*

[Kali]

*shrugs* It's a demon thing.

[azure turtle]

Darn! Curse the luck...
*plans on getting infrared cameras set up all around his lair*

[Kali]

Or you can just make sure there's enough light around.

[azure turtle]

Hey, good idea! :idea:
*writes it down*

[enigma-1]

*sighs* Honestly, is there ever a time when you two don't torment each other?

[azure turtle]

*thinks carefully*
Well, there was this one time when Kali was sick and she was on some weird medication. She was really nice to me for two days. Then everything went back to normal. :grin:

[enigma-1]

Oh boy. That's not exactly what I meant.

[azure turtle]

Huh? :???: Now I'm confused.

[enigma-1]

I meant was there ever a time, not influenced by medicine or illness, that you guys didn't torment each other.

[Kali]

But it's fun! And Azure knows I'm just joking around. Why am I explaining my actions to you?

[enigma-1]

*shrugs* Heck if I know. I just asked a question. I never really expected a straight answer.

[Kali]

Ah. *shrugs* Well, we don't torment each other really, I'm the one doing all the tormenting around here.

[enigma-1]

Hmm. You want to torment Oblivion for awhile? Maybe if he met someone who could outdo him, he'd learn to stop playing those pranks.

[azure turtle]

*snicker*
Kali thinks she's doing all the tormenting in here! :evilgrin: I know she's just joking around. Otherwise, I'd be turtle toast.

[enigma-1]

Everything would be if Oblivion started singing. He thinks he's Elvis, but he sounds worse than a dying cow mixed with a water-flooded engine.

[Tinselcat]

wisdome tiiiime! (thanks for the amulet enigma! i havn't gotten K.O.'d yet!) hmmm, lesseee... some wisdom... i'm sitting at the computer, with a towel on my head, and a cup of coffee with waaaay too much sugar in it. what is the meaning of this? meditate on that for awhile until i think of something better...

[azure turtle]

*ponders for a moment*
The meaning? Um...Coffee + lots of sugar = hyper Tinselcat? :grin:

[Loolaa]

Yuk... sugary coffee... *pulls face*

[Kali]

I still prefer Hot Cocoa. Heck, I'll drink straight chocolate syrup if there's nothing else.

[Loolaa]

Seriously?!

[Kali]

*nods* If I'm in need of a chocolate fix, yeah. I'm an incurable chocoholic.

[azure turtle]

Ugh...I can never have chocolate syrup by itself. It always has to go with something, like ice cream. :smile:

[enigma-1]

I'd take it either way if I weren't on a diet. *curses all calories*

[HorseTechie]

Nah.. I'm a hardcore chocoholic. Choclate syrup, ick... that only has the taste. The main ingredient is corn syrup (which can give me an evil wicked headache if I eat too much of that). Even milk chocolate doesn't please me all the time...

No, I crave the dark, semi sweet chocolate... be it in chips or baking squares! :grin: Pure unadulterated chocolate!

[azure turtle]

Goodness...you all need to be weened off your chocolate addictions. :razz:
*eats a chocolate mango*

[HorseTechie]

*snort*

And you, off your Mango addiction!

[enigma-1]

She's got you there, Azure. You do seem to have one too many of those things sometimes.

[azure turtle]

Bah! I'm not addicted to mangoes! I don't know what you're talking about. :goofygri:
*hides the mango behind his back*

[enigma-1]

*glares at him* Do I need to get another bucket of water to cool you down?

[azure turtle]

*grabs an umbrella*
Don't you dare!

[enigma-1]

Keep that up and I'll just put it right in your shell. I can do that ya know. But if you're nice, I won't.

[azure turtle]

*folds his arms*
Hmph. You complain about Kali and me torturing each other, then you go ahead and torture me :razz:
*exits the thread before he gets drenched*

[enigma-1]

Hmm. Guess I've been hanging around Kali so long that it's rubbed off on me. Go figure.

[HorseTechie]

Mh... *falls asleep*

[azure turtle]

*comes back into the thread to see HT sleeping*
Huh? Is it nap time already?
*checks his watch and shrugs*
I guess so.
*withdraws into his shell and goes to sleep*
:sleep:

[enigma-1]

*shrugs* Well, when in Rome.

*snaps fingers and a hammock appears, lies down and starts getting a few z's*

[Samantha]

*tip toes into the quiet thread* *whispers* Why is everyone sleeping? *hears no answer so tip toes over to her sleeping bag and dozes off*

[enigma-1]

Huh? *wakes briefly at hearing something, then zonks out again*

[Kali]

*looks at all the sleeping posters* Oh, man, I can't pass this up. *wheels out a huge gong*

Wake up call! *winds up and hits the gong with a mallet*

[azure turtle]

AAAAAHHHHHHHH! :eek:
*pops out of his shell, covering his ears*
Help! I'm deaf!

[Samantha]

*being a very sound sleeper, is still sound asleep*

[Tinselcat]

should i or shouldn't i? *holds bucket of ice water above samantha's head* :evilgrin:

[enigma-1]

*wakes up, barely, then zonks out again*

[Tinselcat]

*bustles in, in librarian persona* okay, wake up everyone! let's stay on task, people! uh oh!*sees her boss coming* yeah, i'm at work... but i really don't have anything else to do... i suppose i could go yell at some people for being noisy, but no one is... hm... okay, i'm just gonna dump this water on enigma and samantha's heads anyway. *dumps*

[enigma-1]

*goes right on sleeping*

(yes, both IRL and RPL, i can sleep thru anything. so i'm not exaggerating in this)

[Loolaa]

I wish I was... I'm such a light sleeper almost anything wakes me up... even after a nightshift.

[HorseTechie]

Zzzz... *zioks!* :eek:

Mh... hrm.. what? Oh, yeah... *blames her lack of sleep on the humidity, and the fact her husband's jet lag hasn't worn off* It's beyonf me how he can go to be at 10 and then wake up at 3 in the morning.. and stays up for the rest of the day!

[azure turtle]

Heh...if people wouldn't wake me up, I could sleep past noon. Then again, I've been lacking sleep for many moons now...

[Kali]

Ugh, I don't know what I'd do without sleep. I, fortunately, am able to get at least eight hours a night, but I'm sure that will change when I'm on my own and working full time.

[azure turtle]

Heh...eight hours of sleep is so rare for me. I average six to seven, but on the weekends, I sleep about nine to ten hours. Speaking of which, tomorrow's the beginning of my last weekend as a first year...man, how the time flies.

[HorseTechie]

IYup I avergae seven hours too, and I'm used to that. Saturday's I'll sleep more...
Are you going home then, Azure? Does this mean goodbye as you disappear like Machias did? :sad:

[azure turtle]

Actually, I've got finals this week, so I won't be going home until Thursday night. And I won't be disappearing...my presence just won't be as strong as usual. :smile: I'll still be hanging around, but it'll probably be late at night. Ah well...

[Skeletoncrew]

Yay! Late Night Azure! Its always a thill to find someone on at the same time as I am.

[azure turtle]

LOL! That's true, I see you on late at night every now and then. We're going to be fellow creatures of the night. :smile:

[Skeletoncrew]

*Bursts into song*

Toucha-toucha-touch me! I wanna be dirty! Thrill me chill me fulfill me, creature of the night!

*composes self*

Mmmm...why do I have a sudden urge to listen to my Rocky Horror soundtrack?

[azure turtle]

*arches an eyebrow*
Uh oh...

[Kali]

*takes a deep breath* Well, my own moving day seems to be getting closer and closer. I've managed to take a break from packing to stop by. Man, there better by a library or someplace with public internet access near our new apartment or I may have to do something drastic.

[azure turtle]

Nooo! Kali's leaving too! :cry:

[Kali]

*sigh* So sad, but yes. There is no guarantee that I will have any internet access for the first few months, until we can figure out how we can afford it. And even then, I'll be working full time as well.

Goodbye life of laziness!

[Loolaa]

:sad: Awww...
I hope you do find a library, you'll really be missed. And I'll miss your art and fanfics too. :cry:

[azure turtle]

*cries*
You'll definitely be missed, Kali! I hope you can find someway to visit us... :sad:

[Kali]

I hope I can visit too. I kills me that I probably won't be able to post any art or fics, and I may have to post a couple fics just before I leave. Better get cracking on those.

But don't worry too much, one of my roommates is a computer nut, and we will have a computer, it'll just be a question of affording the line. Hell, I'll use a dial up if I have to!

[Loolaa]

I have a dial up.. it's a pain, but it does it's job... at least you'd be online! :smile:

[Kali]

Ooh, maybe I'll be really lucky and the apartment complex will have internet included or an internet cafe or something. Bah, for $1300 a month it better.

[azure turtle]

That would be nice. I'll be using my good ol' 56k modem when I get back home. I'm going to miss downloading music with such a fast connection.

[HorseTechie]

Oh no! Kali's gonna go into lurkdon too? Ahh man!

$1300 a month? Woof, and I though putting down $545 a month for our wee apartment was alot. (but that's Indiana prices for yah)

I have a 56K at home, which actually runs at 42-44K through the free ISP connection I have through college. But I only get it free as long as I'm a college student. Too bad they don't offer free internet or really cheap dial-up like they used too.

[Skeletoncrew]

Wow. For $1300 that had better be a big place! My one bedroom apartment is $475. Its not the nicest of aparment complexes, but its in a good area, the apartment is big enough for me, and its cheap!

[Tinselcat]

hey, kali and skeleton, i uploaded chapter 4 to my tmnt fic on ff.net. go read it and review! need input! now! go! quick! now!

[Kali]

Well, $1300 is for a two-bedroom apartment in San Jose. We're talking CA Bay Area/Silicon Valley. The prices are just stupid out here. Add on utilities, car insurance, and food... *sighs* Good thing it's a three-way split.

Ooh, new chapter! *runs*

[Samantha]

It sounds like CA is just as bad as NY (didn't think that was possable). Well we'll all miss you like crazy until you return from the great abiss of offlinedom. I all ready sorta started a farewell party at UM, but since I'm pretty new here...Azure? The honors?

[Kali]

Hey, I've still got a few days left! We won't even know if we have this place or not until Wednesday.

[azure turtle]

Ya, we'll all miss you, Kali. :sad:

Well, we better wait a few more days before throwing a farewell party, then. But I guess I should start decorating.
*starts putting streamers up*

[Samantha]

OOO! Can I help?

[azure turtle]

Of course! :anime:
*gives Samantha a few of the streamers*

[Loolaa]

Who's gonna help me blow up all these balloons?
*looks at balloons in dismay*

[Tinselcat]

*walks into rock garden in monk's robes to find it filled with streamers and balloons* uhhh... i think i missed something...

[Tinselcat]

Hey, Loola, thanks for your review of my story on ff.net! i'm glad you like it so far!

[azure turtle]

Hey, I'm sure TC wouldn't mind blowing up all the balloons! :smile:

[Skeletoncrew]

Yeah, Tinselcat can fill those balloons with her wisdom! Or maybe just her hot air. :goof:

[Loolaa]

I don't mind what they're filled with as long as they're blown up.
*fills one with water*
Ooh! water balloons! :evilgrin:

[enigma-1]

*finally wakes up, but only half-way* 2 questions. What's with the balloons? And why am I wet?

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: enigma-1 on 2002-06-09 18:16 ]</font>

[azure turtle]

*runs away from Loolaa*
I don't like the way she's smiling!

[enigma-1]

*watches Azure run, then goes back to sleep*

[Loolaa]

Awww Don't run away... who am I gonna throw these at?
*looks at the sleeping Enigma*

Hmmmm.... do I really wanna face her wrath...?

[enigma-1]

*speaks w/o looking up* Don't even think about it, Loola.

[Loolaa]

Awwww... *shuffles feet*

[Samantha]

*busy hanging up streamers* Water balloons? *fills a water balloon*

[Tinselcat]

*responds to skeleton and picks up a balloon* why, of course i can fill these with hot air... waaaaaiiiiiit...

[HorseTechie]

Ermm.. why does it look like a party is about to happen, everywhere I go?

[enigma-1]

*continues sleeping*

[Samantha]

*is stunned by the sleeping Enigma who can sleep through anything* *keeps filling up water balloons*

[azure turtle]

Because you're the life of the party, HT!! :anime:

[Loolaa]

*picks up water balloon*

Hey HT... you don't rust, do you?

[enigma-1]

*finally wakes up* Huh? What's going on now?

[Samantha]

I would recommend you run very far away from Loolaa.

[enigma-1]

*yawns* Why?

[Samantha]

It seems she will start thorwing water balloons.

[enigma-1]

She does and I bring out my secret weapon.

[Samantha]

Which is?

[enigma-1]

This. Obliviion!

*whistles sharply and in the distance music is heard*

[Samantha]

Wow! That is a very scary secert weapon!

[enigma-1]

Just wait.

*monkey-like digimon appears, an Etemon, wearing shades and swaggering around*

O: Hey, uh, you called, Boss?

[Samantha]

EEEEEKKKK!

[enigma-1]

O: *looks at Samantha* Hey now. You're gonna give me a headache doin' that, little lady, and I need to be in top condition ta sing. Yeah.

*sighs* Oh boy. Oblivion, just shut it until I tell you otherwise. Got it?

Hey HT... you don't rust, do you?

Noooo... I'm made out the kind of 'organic metal' that Cyborg Don is. :razz:

*looks over to Machias with her bit o wisdom of the day* Well, I was looking to get some too... but Nun is offered a great many of Archies for free! All you have to pay for is the shipping cost. (just go to the New TMNT thread) :wink:

[Machias Banshee]

ooh! * zips over to the thread*

[azure turtle]

I'd love to get a hold of many of the Archies and Mirage series...oh ya, and Nun is being nice enough to send out comic books. I got mine a few days ago. Thanks, Nun! :wink:

[enigma-1]

O: *sneers* Sure do, little lady.

Ugh. Unfortunately, he does and very badly at that. I'm still replacing the windows from last time.

[Loolaa]

Gah.. I have a nasty bug for a day and suddenly there's loads of posts!!

*Looks at Oblivion* Don't think I'll be throwing any water balloons at Enigma in a hurry.. :embarass:

[enigma-1]

That's kind of the point, Loola.

[Tinselcat]

*claps hands* let's not go on tangents, people! we must be serene, and full of wisdom and- *get's hit in the side of the head with the water balloon meant for HT* you got my monk's robes all wet! oooooh, you gonna get it, Loola!! *banana-cream pie appears in hand* BWA HA HA HAAAAAA!

[enigma-1]

Oh no... Tinselcat, get rid of that thing quick or he'll go nuts trying to get it.

*looks at Oblivion uncertainly, since he has a taste for banana-cream pies*

[Loolaa]

Yikes! (thats such a cool word!)

Keep that banana cream pie away...!... actually... no.. it sounds kind o' tasty.... :grin:

[enigma-1]

O: *gets a sort of trancelike look on his face* Pie....

Oh boy. Here we go again.

[Tinselcat]

*shrugs* ah, what the hell. *heaves the pie at loola*

[Loolaa]

*Licks pie from face* mmmm... tha's good!!

*suddenly looks at Oblivion, warily*

[SeaThreePeeO]

Wisdom of the day hey?

Well suprime being answer me this one;

Why do I go out and buy hundreds of Jackie Chan and Jet Li videos and DvD's, then never watch them.

*Prances off like a possessed pixie*

[azure turtle]

Hey now! That looks like fun!
*joins Nun in prancing off like a possessed pixie*

[SeaThreePeeO]

*Stops*

Well I have to do something to pass the time!

[HorseTechie]

Well suprime being answer me this one;

Why do I go out and buy hundreds of Jackie Chan and Jet Li videos and DvD's, then never watch them.


:lol: Yeah, if I could find the answer to that question too, I could better understand why we have 300 DVD movies of all kinds too (that we usually watch just once).

[Tinselcat]

can i be a posessed pixie, too?

[azure turtle]

Only if you can prance! :grin:

Oy HT, didja blindfold your husband like I suggested so he'd stop buying new DVDs? :lol:

[SeaThreePeeO]

Oh Azure, you prance so well :lol:

Silly thing is I do the same with comics and books. I buy them, then never read them

[HorseTechie]

*looks at the stack of 7 new DVD's on table* Noo... he also buys 'em after he gets out of work!

[Loolaa]

I always re-read my books and comics.
I usually re- watch my video's and DVD's too... but then I doubt I buy anywhere near the amount your hubby does! :razz:

[Skeletoncrew]

Normally I'm very good about reading everything at least once...lately I seem to be buying more books than I can read! Its kinda silly, I feel swamped!

[Tinselcat]

*prances about* i just bought four- count 'em, FOUR- tmnt comics today! part of the 'city at war' series, too! *sticks out tongue* neener neener neee-neeeeer!

[Skeletoncrew]

Ooooh! I'm jealous! I only have 2 of the City at War series!

[Kali]

Heh heh, I've got six, maybe seven out of the thirteen issues in the City at War story line.

[Skeletoncrew]

Well, I should get some more tomorrow...Things From Another World is having a sale...so I thought I'd try to pick up a few more.

[azure turtle]

Why yes, I do prance very well. :goof:
I read all of the comics I buy, and I often re-read them a few days later. I re-watch my DVDs, too. See? You're not alone, Loolaa! I guess I just like getting my money's worth. :grin:

[Kali]

Isn't that the reason one would BUY, as opposed to renting, DVDs or VHS tapes, so you could watch them over and over again? I have very few books (comic and otherwise) that I haven't read, and my movies get watched often.

[Skeletoncrew]

It does make sense to only purchase DVDs that you will watch multiple times...
My DVD collection isn't terribly big.

[Loolaa]

The only books I have that I haven't read are cheap Classics, that I either start to read and decide I don't like, or ones that I never get around to reading.
I've bought stuff like Dickens, and Moby Dick with the intent of reading them, but never do....

I've got all the City at War, I found the last one I needed last year sometime and was so-oo happy!

[Skeletoncrew]

OOoooh! I love Dickens! I haven't read all of his works, but I really love Hard Times and David Copperfield.

[Loolaa]

Well... I read A Christmas Carol a few times and started Oliver Twist and Great Expectations but never finished them. Not 'cos I didn't like them... laziness I guess.
Which is wierd as I read the Bronte stuff every year I love them so much.

[Skeletoncrew]

Huh. Don't think I've read any Bronte. I just seem to go through phases where I like certain things a lot. I'm not currently reading any books becaues I'm more interested in writing and stuff right now.

[Tinselcat]

*races in, out of breath* did skeletoncrew say she was writing?!?

[SeaThreePeeO]

I am currently working my way through the Harry Potter books. I never saw what all the fuss was about, until I watched the first movie.

I am not a good reader, having ADD and dyslexia, I find it hard to concentrate long enough.

But on the other hand if something grabs my interest and attention I can read it non stop. I once read The Last Unicorn in one day.

Not long and I will have finished Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

[Loolaa]

I love Harry Potter!

*hides from HT*

[Kali]

I like Harry Potter, too. The books are really good. I've only read the first three because my mother refuses to buy the hardback versions, so we wait for paperback.

The movie, I didn't like that as much for some reason.

[Loolaa]

I don't think the acting was that good. The special effects weren't as good as they could have been (though that's not really important) and they kept so close to the book there were no surprises as you already knew what was coming.

Just my humble opinion. Still liked it enough to buy the DVD. :wink:
And the fourth book is good, isn't it out in paper back over there yet? But the third's my favourite. :grin:

[Kali]

Yeah, that pretty much sums up my opinion of the movie as well. But it had it's moments.

As for the fourth book, I'm not sure if it's out in paperback here yet. We usually got them through a book club my siblings had at school, but it's summer vacation now. I may have to take a trip up to the bookstore and check.

[Loolaa]

Good luck with that! :smile:

I was never fond of Ron in the books but I loved him in the movie. The movie did have some great moments, though.

[SeaThreePeeO]

I think the boy who played Ron brought the character to life. I wasn't impressed with Harry though :sad:

[Loolaa]

Yeah, Harry was a little dull.

[SeaThreePeeO]

I my opinion he couldn't act too well. But that's being mean

[enigma-1]

The weird thing is that the kid who played Harry knew the least about the series.

[Loolaa]

That's the funny thing, he's supposed to be a great actor who's done Dickens and stuff.
Personally I think he felt under pressure to play a character alot of people have in their minds.

[Tinselcat]

I like the movie, but i wouldn't have liked it as much if it didn't have maggie smith and alan rickman in it. they're awsome! as for the books, i think the genius in them is that they really are fun for a large range of ages. i wouln't let a kid too young pick up that fourth book, but i was pleasantly surprised when i finally read them to find out that they were written in a fashion that could appeal to a wide range of people. and that's my opinion. *nods head*

[Loolaa]

I don't remember anything particularly bad in that 4th book....

Alan Rickman was fantastic in it!! :evilgrin:

Yeah. Scary isn't it?

Back to the subject of comics...I picked up 3 more City at War, 1 Turtle Soup, 3 Volume 2s, Volume 1 #45, Bodycount, 4 Archies (Hmmm...I just realized that Leo is wearing orange on the cover of one of them), and two volume 2 specials. All were 25-50% off! Sad thing is, I've pretty much cleaned out the local comic stores. They still have a few more volume 2s that I don't have, and this is the first time I've bought any Archies locally.

Good news is, I saw another flyer for the Portland Comic show next Sunday. I had totally forgotten about it!!! Maybe I can pick up some goodies there!

[Kali]

Wow, way to go on the comics SC! That sounds like my adventure when I first found out about the comics. A local store had a 50% off sale on back issues (but only if you bought $20 or more, no problem for me) and 20% off everything else! I even bought a 100-pack of those plastic comic covers! Nearly cleaned them out of TMNT, too, but there was still a lot more I could have gotten. I now wish I had gotten those Archies and maybe that Leo mini, even if it was expensive.

[Skeletoncrew]

I love comic sales!

BTW, I must not have gotten the right Archies...Splinter doesn't look terribly tall and sexy in any of mine. But Shredder does! Yum yum yum!

Oh, and I don't remember where the "Which turtle does April like most?" discussion is...but she winked at Splinter in one of my new ones.

And speaking of Splinter...I noticed a copy of "Playrat" on the floor beside the porcelain throne he was "meditating" on in "The Maltese Turtle". Hedden and McWeeney certainly make him into a dirty old rat don't they?

[Loolaa]

They certainly do.
Not too keen on the Hedden and McWeeny ones though.

[Kali]

Ah well, it's all in fun. Wait a sec, were they the same one's who did the Spaced Out three-parter? I'd check, but my comics are all packed away and I'm too lazy to get them out.
