  1. Someone should go inject her with AIDS.
  2. Chicken tops the list. Give me some chicken and Mountain Dew and I'm good. BBQ, fried, wings, breast, doesn't matter. Followed by chicken fettuccine alfredo. And a close third is pizza topped with pepperoni, sausage, salami, beef, bacon, and ham (AKA, Real Man Pizza). I can eat my own weight in that kind of pizza.
  3. Garbage!
  4. Does anyone really care that Root is banned, honestly?
  5. Rootbear pwnt.
  6. Well that would explain my massive army growth wouldn't it? <3 Rasta
  7. So what exactly does this do? I put 6 turns into it just to see, and it said it will be converted into "503/493" or something. What exactly does that mean? Nvm, I see, the fraction is your new post count over your old post total. Random.. I wonder how many post count ASSS we have that will actually use it.
  8. That's basically it. I believe that there need to be massively tighter restrictions on firearms in this country, but I've held that opinion for a long time and I no longer even bother arguing it because living in this country, as I have, and I know Losa did, it's too apparent that there are too many people who hold their right to bear arms higher than they hold the ideal of being safe walking the streets.
  9. !@#$%^&* it. SHorter version of the page I just wrote: If you think America will have any sort of ban on owning firearms any time soon, you're re!@#$%^&*ed. It's about as likely as us trying prohibition again.
  10. The problem is not the guns, but rather the lack of education on how and when to use a firearm. Many people buy guns for "protection" as was pointed out, but many are not trained in any way on how to use the gun, nor are they used to being around guns.
  11. I've got no problem with bans on smoking. 1. I've got asthma, and I find immense joy watching smokers choke on their !@#$%^&* in the little smoking rooms at airports. 2. I don't want to have to pay higher taxes because you make incredibly !@#$%^&*ty decisions when it comes to your health. Same goes for drinkers and fat people, but to a lesser extent as someone's love handles don't effect my breathing or make me smell like cigarettes do.
  12. Do you ever quit whining? I only have like 1000 more troops than Dav, yet I don't see you !@#$%^&*ing about him. We've both been playing the same amount of time and I only have like 5% more troops than him. Not to mention I now got up to 100 UP, so unless he has too the gap could increase further. Then there's the fact that I know !@#$%^&* about computers, and would not know where/how to get/use proxies.
  13. Heres what you do. You go on Cont Go in a place like TW or EG. Spam the link. I believe it was stated that it was perfectly legal to advertise the link in any place directly related to SS. And I think SS itself counts.
  14. Wewt for 18 inches of snow on the ground yesterday morning. With wonderful daily highs of 30 degrees F.
  15. I actually agree with Smarties for once. Another thing that is very good about transfer services is the fact that now since the Oldskool ships won't be introduced, a player is not stuck with one ship. If a player picks a ship, realizes that he does not like the style of play that would be required to use it, he can send his items, troops, and money to another alliance mate, pick a new ship, and get the items, troops, etc. back and try again. Lollerskates has actually already done this with one member who decided that he wanted to be a Terrier when attacks opened, and it worked quite well. The only downside is that you can't transfer spies or sentries, but that's often only a major factor if you're re-rolling to/from a ship that is covert oriented, like the spider. (And maybe the Shark or Weasel to an extent.) And, as I think Aileron pointed out, or I know someone did, this is a great thing for new players who join late. Instead of getting a ship with massive bonuses, they can just receive troops and items from the clan they join so they can start contributing immediately.
  16. ......Huh?
  17. Dav's tactic of getting a lot of clicks in the beginning has, I believe, had a much larger impact than anyone thinks. I don't think he's doing anything illegal, I just think he has a very good tactic, which is why I tried to get a lot of clicks early in the game as well. I didn't succeed on the scale of Dav, but I'll be interested to see what that extra few thousand troops in the first few days equates to in the last few weeks.
  18. Wondering when the banhammer would come down. Now we're the lollerskates =o
  19. Lulz What'd he do this time?
  20. Aileron is usually pretty good about catching such obvious things, which isn't hard given how small our population of players is.
  21. +1 This is pretty common. Myself, and the other students that represent about the top 10% of my class usually do this. (With the exception of the like, top 2 or 3 kids, because they're obsessed with academics to a point where it's not even healthy.) Most of us at the higher end of the spectrum see how easy most of the subject material is, so we only put in the minimal effort. Why put in hours and hours of work to get a 98-100% when half that effort can usually pull off a 94-96% without much trouble? The bar in the American Education system has been lowered to the point that there is no incentive to work hard because there is no need to work hard if you have half a brain. But even with public schools often having very easy materials (outside of the AP classes, but obviously AP classes are not a part of the required classes one must have to graduate) it's not stopping kids from setting their sites as high as being the manager at the local Burger King. My school has a dropout rate of ~40% between 9th and 12th grade. When I was in 9th grade, I had what was pretty much unanimously decided to be the easiest english teacher ever known to man. You could seriously be a blind monkey and still get a passing grade in that class. Yet he still told me at the end of the year that 35% of the students he had failed for the year. It wasn't because the kids were academically too dumb for the course, they were just lazy and had no ambition or role models. (Well, good role models anyway)
  22. Rootbear, I applaud your amazing skill at finding internet jokes so incredibly old and common that even the dinosaurs can say "was funny the first time I read it."
