This email transaction will tell you the situation:



I was informed by my advisor that ME 217 would make me shop qualified, and I really don't think it's fair to change the rules all of a sudden, especially since I only signed up for ME 217 under the premise that I would then not have to do the extra hours of shop training for no credit. I suppose it's fair to not allow me in the shop while I take the course concurrently, but after I pass it, for the second semester, I ought to be considered qualified. I also took shop class in junior high, and I worked in a hardware store for two years, though I suppose that it's not quite the same. The point is, just like with the graduation requirements, it's not fair to make these sorts of changes when there was already contrary information circulated. Just so you understand my bind, I had no desire to take metal cutting, and I only signed up to avoid having to put in this extra creditless time. I also heard that the forty hour sessions were quite unpleasant. I'm pretty sure everyone else who's taking 217 is taking it for the same reason. I think the best solution would be to improve 217 to include more safety stuff, if it really seems to be a concern, rather than pissing off every student who signed up for it. If necessary, the class time for 217 could be extended. It can be thought of as analogous to social security; this system needs to be amended, but not destroyed. Also, while I'm sure you can vouch for the shop people, I didn't hear any of the students say that they weren't trained safely enough, just that they weren't taught enough about how to use the power tools effectively.

Yeah okay so I've been gone for a long time but I've been so wrapped up in the rampant stupidity of others that I haven't had a lot of time to screw around online. Where to begin? Well around thanksgiving it became apparent that my great-grandmother probably wouldn

What website would have this as a web address?
I found this at another forum and thought I'd post it here. You know if they put a dash(-) in the web address they wouldn't have any problems.

You're so scared in terror films: irreal monsters, lots of gore, people killed in mysterious circumstances....
But what about terror in real life?
This last month I had 3 fucking experiences that didn't involve anything of the above but made my heart freeze as if I was seeing a terror movie.

Let me tell you:
-A month ago: I was waiting to cross an avenue together with dozens of people. A really creepy looking guy with wrinkly face and long,curly gray hair (and seemingly dirty) in front of me turned slowly, and of all the people there, he asked ME:
-Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssss..................excuuuuuuuuuuuuse meeeeeeeeee.........but.......what day is today?
-29th March-I hastily answered, and looked at other side.
-Uh.....-he answered, and turned his back again at me. In the countless seconds I spent waiting for the green light, I saw out of the corner of the eye that he turned several times to look at me. Needless to say, when the light turned green, I ran like the wind over the avenue.

-Last Tuesday: I was coming back from work. In a construction work, all of a sudden, an enormously tall, dark skinned guy (again, dirty looking and with long, curly hair), dressed in bright orange, popped out a couple feet in front of me and walked in my direction. I almost fainted of the scare.When he passed at my side, he said: 'Chau, gordi'.
Explanation: Argentines aren't enormously tall, Argentines are not dark skinned, and Argentines don't dress in showy colors like bright orange. 'Chau, gordi' literally means 'bye, fatty' though it's just a way of adressing and doesn't mean the person adressed is fat. But the odd part is that is a figure of speech that is only used among high classes (this guy was in a construction work)
Very, very odd.

-Last Friday: I was about to take the subway. As I approached it, an old guy that looked like an executive (ie, elegantly dressed with a suit, a briefcase, and very clean (for once)) called me.
-Miss-he looked at me with odd, glassy eyes- Take me to the geriatric home. I need to go to the geriatric home.
Not only I was in a hurry, nothing crossed my mind of what to answer him, so I just sped away. I mean, the guy looked like anything but secluded in a geriatric. Man, how odd!!!

And now, using the best Tales of Destiny 2 style, I hereby adjudicate myself a new title: The Radiator Girl! (you know, the radiator is where all kind of bugs get stuck; if you ever did a long car trip, you'll know)
Dunno about you, but these 3 things scared the crap out of me, without monsters, gore or anything. Now I ask you: Did you experience some scare like this? Without monsters or gore?

Guess who's back...

Yes, torn from his unholy prison that is college, the scarred one has returned on a mission.

I come to spread the golden word of my lord and master. He is a vengeful being filled with squirrly wrath and even with all his complexities and attitudes, he goes by but one name.

A name that shall echo across time and space until judgement day...

and that name is....

Foamy....

I REALLY hate to sound like a dumb ass, but what happened to A Lloyd? I had his stories on hard drive, but due to a REBOOT I lost them all! I would really like them again and his stories are no longer posted! :( I did find his work exceptional and really enjoyed the story's plots as well as his well written lemon scenes. Could someone help me here?




SaberGatomon said it, and I'll say it again!

...if we could have something called, "4TV"? It's like 4KidsTV on Fox, but the toons are more mature. That's right, uncut versions of Sonic X, Ninja Turtles, Mew Mew Power, etc, at a later timeslot!

I just saw an ad for it on television and it said it was PG-13. I assume it was a mistake since the t.v. usually gives the wrong rating which doesn't really matter because the MPAA is wrong with the reasons for the ratings at least half of the time. Anyway, I went to filmratings.com and looked up the movie and it indeed said it was PG-13.

www.imdb.com also says the same thing in the trivia section of the page of the movie. I am a huge star wars fan and I find it very strange of Lucas to push the content of this third installment to a higher rating. Being 20 years old it doesn't really effect me but what do the rest of you think about this?

I'll try to make it brief:
Why the fuck everyone thinks that you're a freak if you don't have friends? I don't have friends except here in the net. All the jerks that surround me don't share my tastes. I have a hard time befriending them, and when I do, what they talk about is so stupid I just wanna go away. They're just a waste of time! They make me unhappy and I guess I make them unhappy too.
So, what's the fucking great joy of being surrounded by friends? Not people who like you and share your interests, just a fucking bunch of people in the middle of who I feel even more lonely. Why people treat me like a psycho just cuz of I don't wanna be with people I don't like---and don't find anyone I like? You think there's something wrong with me?
