No, we are thinking Hunter. We need to work in my late father-in-law's name in there somewhere... Hunter Micheal, perhaps.

Why am I attracted to women that were I to pursue a relationship with she would end up in jail? There are plenty of hotties my age I could date, but I'm not attracted to them.

Ugh.

Yeah. You just read that.

Whats wrong with Zelda? My best female friend (not girlfriend, different things) is called Zelda.

Anyway-thank the Emperor it's good to be back! Father Nurgle saw it fit to strike me down with a stomach infection that rendered me utterly miserable for two days, and also rendered me nocturnal and so unable to post. Fortunatly I'm better now; and it's odd, but I found that I missed bickering with you guys

**garret**

Out of school again today. Fpr every day i miss i have 3 days worth of work. ugh.

**Albatross**

Just had a tooth pulled out. 'Twas mighty painful, as part of the tooth was missing so the dentine was exposed. It had gotten infected, so the local anaesthetic wasn't working as well as it should have been - feeling someone yanking your tooth out is surreal at the best of times, but when you can actually feel the pain? Holy gak.

Aren't you like 15?

Are you hitting on 11 year olds or something, Scout?

**Albatross**

She would end up in jail if she was over 18, Kan.

**garret**

I think he means that they are bad apples. Am i right?

**Albatross**

No, what I think he means is that he fancies a girl who is over 18 - she could go to jail for having sex with a minor, as Scout is UNDER 18.

At least, I think that's what he means...

Ci. In my state, if one member of a relationship is a minor, and there is more then a four year age difference, it is illegal.

She is twenty one. I tried to start a relationship that wasn't sexual, however she decided that it was best to just remain friends. Feth me. Friend zone.

**Emperors Faithful**

Yeah Brah!

**Golden Eyed Scout**

Not a good "Yeah Brah!" moment. I feel like s**t.

She just sent me a text saying (paraprhasing to protect identity)

"I like you, but I can't do this. I am so sorry."

She has deleted me as a friend on facebook, probally blocked me on her email, and this is the last text she sent to me.

I generally made it a point in my life to avoid posting stuff about my relationships on the interent, but this is the time when anonymity via the webs is needed to vent.

I've just been telling myself that it wouldn't have worked anyway. Seems to be working so far.

I'm a little annoyed the religion thread descended into the inevitable chaos, anarchy and locking after I'd composed a lengthy reply in my word processor, but before I got the chance to post it

But are you surprised?

Not even remotely shocked.

**Petite Francois**

Hi all!
Well, on the 'religious man in a game store' topic, though I was mostly kidding when I said I'd start preaching, as things spiraled downward I actually started composing some kind of reply. But the posts were moving too fast for me, for better or for worse, ha ha

I wasn't provoking Boss_Pimpalot for just for fun though, I am just worried that people are more leniant with anti-Christian 'rational' thought than they are with a religious rebuttal. I don't remember, but I -thought- the user agreement I signed electronically had a 'no religion' clause in it. I must be mistaken though, since people were talking about it quite a bit. So I started thinking, 'Maybe I should say something...' I am sad the post closed though, ugly as it was becoming.

Anyway, may the Emperor bless and cherish you all!
Frankie

"Do you want to do the dishes?" she asks.

I think to myself.. does anyone really want to do dishes?

Does anyone actually enjoy it?

Allow me to tell you a saying that goes around my school.

"Gurl, what dat smell like?"

Translation: Girl, what does your

"What dat burn like?"

I haven't the foggiest idea what you're talking about. Sounds fascinating though.

It means if I hook up with one of the chicks at my at my school I can look forward to a nice, high doasge of antibiotics.

**Albatross**

I did a Chlamydia test at University today - they gave me £5! Bonus!

Apparently they're gonna text me the results.

I'm not sure I want to find out I have a STD by text.

**Golden Eyed Scout**

"Hey pretty lady. I'm quite smart."

"Really? Why's that?"

"I took a hepatitis test at the doctors office. I got an A, two B's, and one C."

**garret**

school,home,work,home,dakka. average day.
Also i dont t why people dont like scremo music.

**Waaagh_Gonads**

I have hit upon the amazing world of health research surveys.

Essentially I get a cheque for $10 for every minute it takes to fill out a survey. So $200 if it would normally take 20 minutes to do.

JOY!

I am also concerned as to why I have been so tired the last couple of weeks.
May be too much exercise, it certainly isn't too little sleep.

Cause screamo sucks ass.

Also, snowday yesterday, snowday today, no school tommorow, and then the weekend. I don't mind, but school would be much more bearable if it started two hours earlier.
On two hour delays, people actaully do work in class.

That's a bit extreme. Where do you live?
The 1950s weren't THAT old. And even so, they certainly had some good things going. I'd disagree with you, there was a lot more common sense then. Perhaps we didn't have all the liberties we have now, but in many cases, that was a good thing.

**garret**

The whole point of his thread is to show how paranoid our society is.
