Btw, drow and locket. Athletes are getting better and faster continually, which makes it difficult to compare Thorpe and Phelps due to their different peaking periods. Thorpe was the best at his peak, and Phelps the best at his...likewise, Spitz was the best at his. However, Thorpe did set all his records while wearing the full-body skinsuit, which detracts a little from his record.

pp, as usual your whining makes little to no sense.

I think the nbc coverage sucks (coverage, times, graphics, etc) and I don't think you understand the definition of jingoistic. You might want to look it up. I was cheering for the Russian women (against the US) tonight in gymnastics. Summary: you're a tool who jumps to conclusions and tries to use big words (for you) and fails at both. Likely that's a pattern.

I'm sorry that pointing out a few simple facts upsets you so. It's very relevant re: US and China medals, and brought it to your attention since you started complaining about it. I won't apologize for rooting for the US, and wouldn't ask anybody else to apologize for rooting for their country. I imagine you'd prefer it if nobody cheered for the US since they're not the underdog. Give me a break. Relax a little.

And keep your chin up, buddy. :)

Women's marathon was great. Couldn't believe that Russian caught the lead pack and ended up with bronze.

Whine.

This proves you are a petty troll, nothing more, nothing less. After my reply, I'm an internet tough guy? That's irony defined.

Here's on topic: OMG THE US CHANGES THE WAY THEY COUNT MEDALS, ITZ THE END OF TEH WORLDZ!!!ONE What a horrible thing. What a pathetic reason to be whiny. Almost nobody cares or even notices it except people like you. Bitter, whiny people who would rather look for something to moan about rather than congratulate. Bringing up RD in a thread about the Olympics is further testament to your one-trick pony status.

Outside of the 'row' comment, everything I said makes perfect sense. As usual, you're too bitter to admit it. The Chinese should be dominating the Olympics and they're not. What's wrong with that?

Try to be a little positive and say something good about the Olympics. I can't wait for the men's marathon. All the running events are amazing. Since you've run a few marathons I'm sure you're excited about the last event of the games. Chin up, buddy.

It is patently obvious to anybody with a brain that the US is actually kicking ass, as usual. Yeah, I'm American. No, I don't care much if you whine about the US...just taking a moment to point out how good the US is doing. You should recognize that, rather than whine and complain about something most people don't even notice or care about. But then again, you're a one-trick pony. It just gets old that you complain so much...try just rooting for your team rather than bringing others down.

Btw, I just got back from a 24-mile run. I thought of going 2.2 more miles and calling it a marathon, but I'm just in training. I have a 50k in a few weeks...my third one. I've run multiple marathons. Signed up for 1/2 ironman in March. Full ironman to follow. Have you only done one marathon? lol

China: 1.4 billion people, and state-sponsored athletics.

USA: 300mil(?) people, and no state-sponsored athletics.

China should be destroying the US and the rest of the world (I find it hilarious that PP is so jealous of the US yet he abbreviates 'rest of world' as ROW; even he sees how important and wonderful the US is. :P ) Just pointing that out for the haters.

PS. Love the olympics, and winners from any country as long as it's a good competition. Marathon is awesome.

PPS. Every. Single. Marathoner...is pro. Damn those pro Kenyans.

I haven't played 3. FNV is slow going at the start, but the story is kinda cool once you get into it. Played it on ps3. It probably froze the ps3 maybe 3 or 4 times in the total time I played it, which seemed like a loooong time. Other than that, the bugs didn't bother me.

Though, to be honest, I wasn't real impressed with FNV compared to BioShock 1/2, any FF game, etc...

That's pretty funny right there. Do a little research, then get back to us.

I was thinking the same thing, but glad you said it.

The fact this ant problem thread went to 50+ posts makes me realize, that unfortunately, I'm in the right place.

Alliance talk.

4.8"...weak.

I have had a Dell Streak 5 for 1.5 yrs now. So basically it's pretty weak in power/capability/etc compared to the new phones out, but the real estate is nice. :)

From a huge boxing fan friend of mine: Pacquiao was robbed in this fight. However, in at least two previous fights, Pacquaio was handed the fight in a similar manner. Should've lost, judges gave it to him.

Never bet on boxing.

Fixed it for you. You and blid are the only ones doing the crying and whining about something numerous people said doesn't involve the alliance server.

I think a point hidden in blid's comments are that people that called Bush a murderer are likely now giving Obama a free pass on that whole 'murder' thing they so greatly detested about Bush's wars.

blid isn't saying that, but I his other comments made me remember parades of protesters carrying 'Bush is a murderer' signs...

So basically just swap republicans for democrats and call it NPR?

That a bill like that is being proposed is sad, but not unexpected in the current USA (no matter who is in the presidency).

Makes me think more and more of buying that house in Nicaragua, or Ecuador.

And no, that kind of propaganda should never be legal.

If I ever got to over 700 posts and realized all I did was whine on a forum, I sure hope I'd reassess some things. Like stopping whining. And finding a way to get the huge chip off my shoulder. And the hurt out of my butt. Maybe if you did #2 or #3, #1 would follow. :)

And, please stop suiciding me. Hahaha

I'd be okay with a fat tax, as long as the govt also starts a fitness bonus on which the fat tax is spent.

Pay up, fatties.

True...it's almost as bad as Huffpost.

1. Wrap smokies in bacon.
2. Pour brown sugar over smokies and bacon.
3. Oven.

I don't believe that much extra water is necessary, unless you're going someplace you could get lost. Maybe if you're not in good shape, or sweat more than normal, or... Depends on how far/where you're going. But I do agree wearing anything on your neck will get old fast, especially a water bottle.

I love this water bottle (1-liter Touch models):

The nalgenes are nice as well.

Haters gonna hate. Hahahahaha

I don't know what that means, cause I could hardly stand to watch the Simpsons (but the video game was seriously fun).

But, I will simply say what I hope for is that when a movie is made of a comic book, some turd doesn't go and do what happened with most of the Marvel movies: complete mixing of timelines from 40 years ago until today, a clownification of the superheroes, and a general dumbing down of everything for the masses. Just make the movie the way the comics were. I have some hope for the new Spider Man movie coming out. Spider man 2 and 3 were progressively worse, while the first one was quite good.

Maybe Iron Man 1 wasn't too bad...until the end where he declared himself Iron Man....dumb as hell.

Nobody cares about Sweden, unless you're talking about Volvos. Stop getting on this forum and go make me a car.

Considering x-men first class and Iron Man 1 weren't that great, and Iron Man 2 was horrible, I rate my expectations after your review a 3/10.

Not holding my breath. There's a reason the Dark Knight movies have been incredible.

Lol. I heard Slash say in an interview that Chinese Democracy actually sounded pretty good. I listened to it a few times, but there were only a few songs I liked much. Can't say I remember anything Slash ever did since GnR, besides the drama. Lots of drama.

Axl may be crazy, but without him, GnR would never have existed. Without Slash, GnR would've probably been marginally different.

Funny, I see Slash on some Sundays on Mulholland Drive. I'll give him your contact info, archaic. :P





But really, nobody cares that Rush still hasn't even been nominated? I'm more upset at that. Screw GnR, Axl, and Slash. Slash probably couldn't play Yyz. :|

Rush.

But, if you say something 100s of times, eventually it becomes true! Keep up the PR campaign. :)

I was going to FA you. :(

Hence why the tag doesn't exist once again. Luckily it will stay that way this time.

Ah, people only say that when they already know someone from their alliance will win ... oh, wait.

Drow, you could definitely put a decent-sized pleco in with your oscar. The oscar wouldn't get very far with the pleco's spikes. He will try, though. A friend has an oscar and a pleco in the same tank, no problems.

I've tried occasionally to add some colorful fish to my tank with little success, as shown above. Every time, one of the fish brings some disease and ends up killing themselves and sometimes others. Very frustrating. We're going to try one last time. I really want some pictus catfish, neon tetras, rasboras, and maybe a silver-tipped shark.

Whoever got the most aid? ;)

Two dojo loaches and a plecostomus, 38 gallons. The loaches are awesome fish.

Recently had some additional fish: 3 Rasboras and 3 Neon tetras. Unfortunately the tetras brought ich and they're dead along with the Rasboras who were doing great. Very small fish don't survive ich very well. Bummed. Damn pet stores.

The loaches have been solitary for a couple years since their best friends died, a 6 year old goldfish and a 7-inch pleco.

I just saw on the right side of the youtube page, videos of some movies coming out this year. Looks like it's gonna be better than last year.

Prometheus, new Spider Man, Avengers, Men in Black, Hobbit, X-Men 4. Just hope they keep them truer to their comics/original stories. Unfortunately that means Avengers and X-Men are pretty much toast. Spider Man is hopeful. Prometheus looks badass.

Orkin, read again. Dork.

The comment about the crappy canadian drugs was a joke...

Yeah, that's it. It's only because the fish have higher tolerance to impurities than mammals, so they're cheaper. Nevermind the extreme controls on raw materials, validating, manufacturing, processing, stability, quality, etc, etc, that go into human drugs. I'm sure that has nothing to do with it.

You have no clue about the process of making and assuring the quality of drugs. If you want to talk about the difference in price due to price gouging, that is different, and has nothing to do with the differences in making fish vs human drugs. :\

Btw, I think the OP is severely retarded to be taking fish antibiotics. At least get the dog/cat drugs. But then why not go to the doctor and spend $20 on a copay, and $7 on a real prescription? Queue someone asking 'What if he doesn't have insurance?'

The fish antibiotics are 1/10th the cost of the human ones for many reasons.

If they were cat or dog antibiotics (ones you can only get through either the veterinarian's office or a real pharmacy), then the cost should be closer to human antibiotics, much closer.

Not many people care about fish like other pets, hence the controls in place to manufacture fish antibiotics are definitely not as rigorously maintained/pushed by either the manufacturer or a governing body.

It's not a conspiracy that human drugs cost more than fish drugs. I'm sure in Canada the human drugs are made in the same crappy conditions the fish ones are, that's why they're so cheap. :P

Just think you two could've just yelled down the hall and saved us all the...entertainment. :P

How about all you women shut the fluff up about evo vs laf for a long time? Sadly, I agree with Helmet on this.

Is this not a reasonable place to park?

Um, right. How about you tell us more about the prison scenes and how everybody's already infected?

I would just prefer it to be completely new to me rather than this. Am I being unreasonable? It's not like you crossed any huge lines, but I don't like where the fanboi in you is headed.

Please don't give predictions about the show when you are much more likely than others to possibly know what happens. That's bullfluff. Maybe I'll just read here after next week's episode instead of watch the show. Tard.

This game is one of the only outlets for arguing without much cause for worry. :)

A couple points.

Why is bottomfeeding considered such an honorable path to netting? I've done it a few times, and to be honest, I felt pathetic afterward. And yes, much more pathetic than I do landtrading. Oddly, I felt the least pathetic doing all-x. :)

The reason we're not going apefluff with landtrading is because of the community uproar. We realize you think we're poor netters, and once the cool kids get ahold of the strat and 'really show us how to do it' that someone could get 4 or 500mil nw. Did we want to do that right away? No. Look at all the whining from both netters and warrers alike. Could we have done this more efficiently, more organized, and more driven toward a huge nw? Of course.

I'd say wait until somebody actually uses landtrading near it's fullest in Alliance before nerfing it.

Oh, and THE HORROR of RD and PDM being friends. NOBODY should be friends with RD ever again. And I find it hilarious that anybody in LAF would ever talk negatively about RD.

Abusing game mechanics as fluffed up as running multies? I should've stopped reading your post there, as you completely invalidated yourself from posting in this thread any more. Abusing game mechanics is all anybody does, as soon as they are community-accepted. What do you call camping DRs? What do you call dropping land in a war to increase tech levels? Derrrrr.

I believe nonchalant netters is more accurate. I find it humorous that in order to be an 'elite' netter you have to win using a canned strat (with some tweaks of course) or it's not legit. I always love that jealousy. To be looked down upon because you don't fit the basic mold of what others have done before you to win makes me think you have a small mind.

deli said it best: stop calling us netters.

I'm not going to search through the thread, but now I'm curious exactly how many from RD have posted and proclaimed loudly (or sheepishly) that we're good netters, or netters at all. Seems like someone's got a crush on RD and doesn't know how to manage it. ;)

I played the video game adaptation, Left 4 Dead 2. Has a black girl, but her name is Rochelle, ninja swords, guns, and zombies. Pretty much the same thing. :P

Bullfluff.

No constant rebuilding of acres means many billions saved in building costs; money not spent on rebuilding is spent toward tech and other military, etc; botomfeeders rarely, if ever, get hit by random people in other alliances who are bent/jealous such as happens to landtraders; a missile from a bottomfeeding target does a miniscule amount of damage which can be regained in a few bottomfeeding hits; I could keep going, don't feel like it.

Your whine and cheese party's almost over.

Could I do the same camping DRs and idling in irc camping the news for a juicy hit all day that you no-lifers do?

Yes...wait second, hell no I couldn't. And I won't even try. I have a job and a life and it sure as hell doesn't revolve around this game. This game comes after real life, and rightly so. Don't ever expect some people to make a stupid text game so important that they change their lives to fit it. And if you deem people to be bad netters just because they don't want to do said extremely boring, decidedly anal, obsessive tactics to become the 'elite netters' that you are, you're pathetic.

We're having more fun in this game than has been had in a long time. Go fluff yourselves.
