What other talents do you have?

[Cota]

Ok, so everyone here is a flash junkie in way or another, but what else can you do...aside from computer stuff...for example, do you play an instrument, are you a car guy/girl..... I'll get it started...

Aside from computers, I play guitar, bassm, drums, piano, and alittle violin. Aside from that, I'm a car guy...I have my '05 Mustang which I work on. After that I'm picking up either a '68 Camero, or '71 Charger.

So, what about the rest of you?

[Flash Gordon]

Aside from computers (which is a hobby), I play saxophone (little flute, clarient, piano).

Also, I'm a meat head: I like to go to the gym.

Sports: Tennis and Golf. (not a big fan of football or basketball)

I collect and grow Banzai trees.

I'm a motorcycle guy: '89 Kaw Ninja EX250 dual cam. I do some of the work myself.

Finally, I'm a lover....:cool:

[Cota]

Here is my toy...'05 Mustang, it's a V6 automatic....For the car people, it was a 4.2L engine, been bored out to a 4.6. Mass air intake, 5lbs of boost, 19in rims and the Eleanor 2005 body kit on its way....the wife hates it....

[somraa]

Hi,

Aside from computers, I like to read, crochet and cook.

[oldnewbie]

Yep! Cota you have the hat that goes with the car! Or is it the other way around?

Have you calculated your personal contribution to global warming with this thing?

Yeah, right! Global warming isn't happening for you Americans! :eek:

[Cota]

Hey, I did my part, I kept the CAD's in, to reduce polution. Global warming isnt happening for the Bush family..

[bluegel]

did no-one notice that flash gordon grows bonzai trees?? wow!

I dont really do flash much more, as I became redundant 2 years ago.

In my spare time, I play piano and Ive started playing guitar even though ive had one for 2 years, but ive just started learning some songs.

my only other talent is a girly thing....I make stuff. I make cards, jewellery, clothes, bags...I draw, paint and try to do anything artistic, I also write songs and poetry

[tg]

i would be a car nut if i could find a reasonable priced dodge a100 pickup (60s), with little rust and matching numbers. it doesn't even need to run.

[senocular]

I'm like CyanBlue ;)

[Cota]

I'm like CyanBlue ;)
Interesting hobby...:p

@tg - just look around online....you wont believe cars you can find...I found a 1938 Ford Coupe for $1000, but the wife said she would leave me if I got it.

[tg]

@bluegel.... keep on truckin with that artistic stuff... altho, i would call artistic stuff just 'a girl thing'

[tg]

...I found a 1938 Ford Coupe for $1000, but the wife said she would leave me if I got it.



and your not sleeping in it on the streets?


jeez what some folks will give up for a little tang.

found a 63 ford e100 pickup a while back in florida for $300, but no engine, and too much rust.... almost got it, but shipping out to oregon was way too high.

[Cota]

It was a fair trade off besides, she'll change her mind when I eventually get her the car of her dreams....1967 Shelby Mustang (Eleanor)

[tg]

well, i may be getting my dads old dodge diesel pickup one of these days.... if so, i will begin chemistry as my hobby, and make my own biodiesel.

[Cota]

If it werent for a backflow issue, a simple carbon filter in the muffler would eliminate exhaust polution...and a few midgets under the hood would eliminate the need for gas..

whats that....?

[BadBadNeil]

I play basketball a lot. Fun, good excercise, and I like to watch it on TV too.

I am into cars as well although I probably won't be able to really get into it until I am older and have enough money to just throw around on cars.

Whenever I have free time I like to paint with acrylics or use pastels but time has been tight lately. Mostly acrylics on gessod masonite.

Can't play any instruments, used to play the recorder in 3rd grade if that counts.

[tg]

Whenever I have free time I like to paint with acrylics or use pastels but time has been tight lately. Mostly acrylics on gessod masonite.


i love pastels.... i have covered a couple of my kitchen cabnet doors with oil pastel drawings... don't know if i will ever be able to sell the house with out using a bit of sand paper on the doors but... its good for me and mine.

[BadBadNeil]

Wow really, what type of scene or motif did you paint on the doors? What did you seal it with when you finished?

[tg]

Wow really, what type of scene or motif did you paint on the doors? What did you seal it with when you finished?
one door (a taller one) is a saguaro (sp) cactus, two others are a pair of cowboy boots and a rooster. if i can dig up some decent pics, i will post them.

i sealed them with polyuerathane... not sure if i spelled that correctly.

[Cota]

I'm completely jealous....I cant draw or paint for my life...give me photoshop and you cant stop me, but by hand....no drawing/painting talents what so ever. Did it come natural to you guys or was it taught...I'm assuming natural..

[BadBadNeil]

I used to draw since I was little, mostly pencil and marker. I used to copy comic book characters when I was little as practice. In high school I got into doing car rendering and concept drawings. Then when I went to college I had a bunch of classes in color theory, guache, acrylics, life drawing, pastels, etc so I worked with a lot more mediums than I was used to. I even got into airbrushing for a while which is really cool. I just ran out of time really to do much anymore. I have 4 prepped masonite boards sitting down here right now waiting for me to paint on them. I've been doing so much computer artwork and I've been trying to get into photography as well and there are only so many hours in the day :) I think I'd like to actually do photography on the side one day and perhaps have a gallery opening at least one time in my life. I think that would be cool.

[Cota]

Honestly, that sounds awesome. I wish I could draw and paint. Like I said, I do photoshop stuff, pretty good stuff, at least I'd like to think...but being able to have a real canvas and stuff like that....photoshop cant compare.

[drexle]

Wow, if you remove all electronics from the equation, what are my talents and skills? Hmmm...

Well, I've studied Fine Art for many years, and I'm quite good with a pencil and paper. Drawing, shading, sketching... my favorite media are pencils and charcoal. Mainly I work with black and white, or at most monochrome. Never have been much for painting with paints and brushes... only really with photoshop.

Aside from that, I make a tasty yellow curry.

[BadBadNeil]

Cooking, that is a talent I would like to have as well. I can follow instructions well and make things but I'd like to know the nuances of food so I could just make things up on the fly and know that the combination will be good. I watch that food guy with the glasses on the foodchannel and he is a genius to me. I liked his one on how to make a hot pepper mild or hot based on how you skin it.

[drexle]

Oh, I wouldn't say that I have any special genius when it comes to cooking. In fact, there are only a few recipies I really even bother with, but when I do decide to try something new I'm not afraid to vary the recipie, or vary the cooking method, which is really the key to a good dish.

I suppose the best way to explain the process of learning the best way to make a dish is to taste the ingredients in as base a form as you can before you add them, then again after you add them and see what happens... or just try something unusual. Like the next time you make pizza, try cooking the ingredients into the sauce instead of treating them like toppings (unless that is what you already do, of course)... you get a richer flavor that way.

[BadBadNeil]

I'd like to know too what each spice or herb equates to taste wise and what foods they mix and blend with. Right now if I had something to a food like a celantro or rosemary for example I am not really understanding the effect it is having on the food or if certain ones should be mixed with others and others shouldn't. Sort of like a table of elements for food ingredients.

Mmmm pizza. You make your own? I thought it'd be cool to have a brick oven in the house :D

I do. Actually, when I say cook the ingredients into the sauce, i don't mean to cook the cheese into it... just the other toppings like olives, peppers, sausages, et cetera.

Spices... I once found a website with a comprehensive list of spices and their uses, but I no longer have the link. What I can tell you though, is that if you have a kitchen full of spices that you have never used then you might want to just try adding spices and see what happens. Small doses at first and taste as you cook, if possible. I'd start with soups since they're pretty safe to do that with. Perhaps you have some sage or allspice? Also if you go out to restaurants or cafes you might catch an idea or two. It never would have occured to me to put paprika on hummus if I hadn't seen it in a cafe once. Now I do frequently.

[Cota]

Did I mention I have another talent.........eating....now I'm hungry thanks..

[mitr]

Did I mention I have another talent.........eating....now I'm hungry thanks..
:p haha... that's one talent that I share with you.

I like to draw(sketching mostly) whenever I have free time. In fact, that brought me to this whole concept of designing. I have loads of certificates that I got in drawing competitions. Besides drawing, I used to create anything out of small/unused things from my mom's closet. But now, if I not on flash or designing, I am on net or before TV. Other things that interests me are cooking(if my mom isn't there :D) and gardening.

[outlando]

I play guitar, mandolin, harp, bass and a little piano; and I sing - used to sing opera in fact, but not for a few years now!!

[Morg]

@ Cota: Go is a strategy game where you have to conquer sectors. Quite big amongst the intellectual types ;)

I play action cricket, gholf on occasions. I too make a mean chicken/meat curry! I like reading and I contemplate stuff... I enjoy thinking. My goal in life is to have wisdom. Nothing is more important to me. If you have wisdom, everything else becomes so much easier.

Play guitar and drums - bit of harmonica. Own a Venus flytrap (Swampie) and a housemate... He drives me insane sometimes! haha.

[BadBadNeil]

Did I mention I have another talent.........eating....now I'm hungry thanks..

There you go, next year you should enter Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. Maybe you can beat Kobayashi and take back the crown!

@drexle Yeah I suppose experimenting is the best way to learn. I guess since I know very little about all the spices there must be ones that are no no's. I guess adding something bad won't blow up the kitchen.

Going with the food theme I'd like to make drinks better too. I tried to make a mojito the other day and it came out horrible compared to the one I had in P.R.

[tg]

I tried to make a mojito the other day and it came out horrible compared to the one I had in P.R.

heh... i read that as 'mojo'.

and i was gonna say you can't make mojo... its just something you got.

[BadBadNeil]

I think mine was stolen by Dr. Evil :)

[Cota]

....... you can't make mojo... its just something you got.
Its like game, but better.....

[seeFresh]

guitar, bass, drums, mandolin, banjo(a little), some piano and sing. I'm good with the chicks....except I'm married now, so had to put that one behind me. I'm a great hippie too, when I need to be.

[piratefish]

I can snap louder than anyone I know as well as clap and give some of the most painful High Fives there are. Plus I have a sharp whistle. Not the greatest talents, but they're mine.

[Flash Gordon]

I'm a great hippie too, when I need to beHA!

--------

[seeFresh]

Oh, and I can play the hand whistle like no other. Name a song, I can play it with my hands cupped blowing into them. I hit different notes by tightening and opening the space in my hands

I'll attach a video of any song, someone name one.....that's popular and I know.

[CyanBlue]

Hey... I remember what I am good at...

I can sleep as long as I want to if I need to... :D

[Cota]

Ah yes sleep....a talent I lost years ago....wouldnt mind getting it back..

[CyanBlue]

Actually that can be easily obtained... You just need to pull the power cord off and cut... That's all that you need... ;)

[Cota]

But that would lead to other problems....if I dont come here or do some other programing then I'll end up outside working on the car....and my wife hates that more than she hates me being in front of the computer...sleep is damn near impossible to get, the kids......enough said...

[CyanBlue]

Well... Go make a couple more kids so that your wife's hands are full and she cannot really yell at you... :p

[Cota]

Dont curse me like that, I already have 4....the more we have, the more she yells...

[CyanBlue]

Well... Get some more and you should be eligible for the government aid and she won't be yelling at you by that time... :p

Or, go sell your car... She's got to love you more... :rolleyes:

[Cota]

The car, thats a big sacrafice.....I dont think I need government aid...maybe a shrink...

[BadBadNeil]

Do you actually live and work in manhattan?

[Cota]

I live in Queens, the true center of NYC..I'm 5 minutes from almost every bridge, and every major highway....Manhattan is way too expensive....though I am considering leaving NYC and moving upstate...just too damn expensive living here.

[BadBadNeil]

and 5 minutes from every toll in the northeast :D

[Cota]

Yeah pretty much......EZ Pass does make it easier....doesnt save me money, but it makes my life easier...besides, the 59th street bridge is still free....

[BadBadNeil]

When I drove from NC to CT I think it cost us around $40 to get home with all the tolls! Next time just going to do 80north with no tolls.

To keep it on topic my talent is to always find the most expensive way home.

[Cota]

8o north? 80 runs east and west...

[BadBadNeil]

Actually its 84W to 80W to 81S that I took before. That was no tolls but also lots more mountainous. Wouldn't be bad if I had a car that didn't have 90HP and 500+ lbs of luggage in the car.

[Cota]

90HP....bring that car by, we'll get that up to about 250HP easily..

[BadBadNeil]

Haha, oh believe me I could if I wanted to drop some money into it. Its a 1.6l sentra, I know a few people who have 250HP+ in them NA. Of course that is with heavy modifications and similar could be had from a turbo. I thought about it years ago but then I needed the car to be reliable, and if I upgraded the HP I'd also have to add rear discs and upgrade the front, not to mention engine mounts etc. The coilovers and upgraded tires/wheels make it MUCH more fun to drive though, it corners crazy.

I think if I ever buy another car (this one is 10years old) I may just keep this one as a project car. If it had the 2.0l SER engine putting out 150HP I'd be happy, I wish a swap was simple but a lot of parts don't swap.

[tg]

But that would lead to other problems....if I dont come here or do some other programing then I'll end up outside working on the car....and my wife hates that more than she hates me being in front of the computer...sleep is damn near impossible to get, the kids......enough said...


ha!

i am king of the power nap.

i come home from work (for years now) and would sit down on the couch and take a 10-15 minute nap. just out almost instantly.... the kids would come over to me and be climbin all over me, pulling my hair poken and proddin, and it would n't phaze me a bit... after 10-15, i would get up, and be ready for the rest of the day.

now that is something that pisses my wife off.... that i can just go out like that for such a short time, and make it count.

[magicwand]

I live in Queens, the true center of NYC..I'm 5 minutes from almost every bridge, and every major highway....Manhattan is way too expensive....though I am considering leaving NYC and moving upstate...just too damn expensive living here.

@tg - I cant do the power nap, once I'm out, I'm done...damn near impossible to wake up...

[seeFresh]

Man, Cota, that's awesome that you completely gave up drinking. I wouldn't find that toooo amazing you had never started, but it would be damn near impossible for me to give it up. I'm not a drunk and I don't drink everyday, but there are just some occassions that I really enjoy a tasty, imported beer. Guinness, newcastle, killians or even a nice IPA.

Anyway, I'm very impressed. Way to go on that, I bet your liver is thanking you everyday.

[Cota]

Dont me wrong, there are days where I wished I never stopped, but you do what you got to do....there is a long personal story behind it, but not one we need to get into...besides....hitting the highway at 140+ mph's is the only relaxation I need now days...

[Headshotz]

I play Bass ;) Thats about it, I played violin when I was younger

I got my own little Gym in my garage ;) Just a weight bench and a chinup bar

For sport Bodyboarding (prone and dropknee style), surfing, skimboarding and bodyboarding, also swimming and Capoeria (although I have yet to spell it right).

I shape and fully develope my own bodyboards and print custom graphics on them. I am also working on putting custom graphics on guitars.

I am a surf enthusiast and am always trying to find where the best waves are. Normally locally but I have done massive trips up north to big breaks and even hawaii.

I am going off somewhere again so I will be sure to tell you when I leave and bring back some photos of me on the trip. That might give Ruben some clues about my age.

[Ruben]

Hahahaha, finally I'll be the allknowing age-meister... :p

Oh, and I can play the hand whistle like no other. Name a song, I can play it with my hands cupped blowing into them.Toy Dolls their 'Nelly the Elephant' :cool:

i am king of the power nap.My housemate's just like that, whenever he stops being active (like when he sits down for a minute or watches the tele) he'll just fall asleep instantly without even realising it himself... Only difference is that it just happens to him, no triggering or anything... Guess he's just got a sleeping-problem.

Man, Cota, that's awesome that you completely gave up drinking. I wouldn't find that toooo amazing you had never started, but it would be damn near impossible for me to give it up. I'm not a drunk and I don't drink everyday, but there are just some occassions that I really enjoy a tasty, imported beer. Guinness, newcastle, killians or even a nice IPA.

Anyway, I'm very impressed. Way to go on that, I bet your liver is thanking you everyday.It's different, you're in Germany, hahaha, there's no comparing american drinking to german drinking ;)

As for me, I (occasionally) do some drawing, just pencil on paper, nothing fancy or anything. Unfortunately school keeps me from drawing too much, alltogether I think I draw only about a couple of hours per year...
..Furthermore, I'm the king of cycling through underground carparks and getting yelled at by security. I'd like to get into extreme walking (http://www.atomfilms.com/af/content/doubres_real_city?mid=90717944) but I'm still trying to talk my housemate into it...

photography, its what I do. I enjoy it more than designing which is how I pay the bills.

One day I'll have a studio, hopefully this year at some point. I don't think I'm too far off.

And Cota, I have to give you credit, you aren't ashamed to be driving a ford and that is a rarity these days.

[Cota]

Why would I be ashamed of driving a ford??

[falltimemusic]

Im pretty musical for the most part.

I USED to do film editing as my main profession... but didn't like it
I play piano, guitar, bass, drums, sing... in fact thats what i do all day on my non-computer days. I'd much rather be touring than rotting my face with a computer screen haha. but you gotta do what you gotta do.

[CyanBlue]

Hey, I'm driving a Ford Taurus as well... Of course, a Taurus and a Mustang is totally different beast... :D

Today's news said that GM is laying off 30000 people and Ford is doing the same number... Shame on "YOU" American people... Stop buying Japanese cars... Buy Ford... :(

[BadBadNeil]

If GM came out with something I liked I'd be happy to buy a product from them. I just went through their entire lineup of 50+ cars and couldn't find a single thing I would even consider in 4th place from other car companies. Not my fault though for not liking them, their fault for putting out bland emotionless vehicles.

The one exception is the Saturn Sky which hasn't come out yet (2006). Car is gorgeous but so impractical (2 seat roadster with a manual top) that I'd never buy it.

[Cota]

what....GM...Pontiac GTO, it has a serious engine...as for the saturn sky...only 170hp....boo

[BadBadNeil]

There are some good engines in some of their cars, the LS in the corvette for example and the GTO but let's face it people usually don't care just about how good an engine is, they like nice interiors, nice exteriors, good driving dynamics, and prestige as well and GM cars are just years behind in the these areas. I don't know if it is the executives of the company who are too afraid to be bold or if the concepts being created are that poor. I have a feeling it is the former.

The one company where they took a chance was in Cadillac with its very boxy shape but they based the whole image throughout their product line based on a very much love it or hate it design that I think has alienated customers. Shame because the XLR is a nice car. I like the gamble they took though with cadillac to at least attempt to reinvigorate a stagnant brand. They are having a tough time getting people to switch from Audi/MB/BMW/Lexus/Infiniti to their vehicles because they are very similarly priced.

Yeah the Saturn Sky only 170HP, but they left it open for a redline version that is turbocharged, probably around 250HP or so which is good on a roadster. I was more basing it on the looks department, it is a gorgeous car and so often I have heard it looking very "european" which is a good thing if GM wants to compete aesthetically.

I honestly don't understand why they have such trouble making good looking quality vehicles. Someone is approving the crap coming out of R&D.

[annexion]

I used to play drums, take ballet and gymnastics and go to the casino when I was in Michigan, but with the booming industry here I've become a free agent wage slave.

I also do chicks if they show any interest, like a heartbeat.

[Cota]

Yeah, the Saturn Sky looks nice, but that initial engine spec is pathetic..

@annexion - chicks huh...excellent hobby....but it leads to trouble...

I mean, come on, if you're in a bad mood than you shouldn't go hijacking planes in the first place.
You can't take over flights while acting like some crappy asshole towards everybody in the plane, that's just plain.... rude..

..so, well, I just always try to be nice and polite. Kinda next-round's-on-me thing, always worked for me. Except for that one time when I was in a thread to this straight-edge concert, so I asked if anybody was in for some sausages but they didn't really seem to be all that pleased with that either...

:confused: - Ruben

[Cota]

You know times are bad when you cant get hijacke with a smile or talk about your sausage and get a laugh....just sad times..

[Headshotz]

I can hold my breath for 3 minutes :D

Something random

[yker22]

I like to play videogames (pc, x-box)

I like to cooking some italian, mexican and oriental food.

I like to write (I have two published books) and read fiction novel.

and collect phrases from walls, like this:

"Dazed for jealousy, he converted white dove in flesh meatball" (Ofuscado por los celos, convirtió blanca paloma en albóndiga de sangre)

and of course, I like to spend time with my wife and childrens...

[Cota]

I personally think it was the christian buddist cross-breed, the cruddist..I blame them..

[Headshotz]

Damn the Cruddists :mad: :mad:

[Ruben]

and collect phrases from walls, like this:

"Dazed for jealousy, he converted white dove in flesh meatball"Dude! That's just brilliant! :cool:

I personally think it was the christian buddist cross-breed, the cruddist..I blame them..Darn it, I was thinking I forgot something; the cruddists, I knew one way back, he told me one or two things about it, almost sucked me in too... The cruddists believe in Jussus Chrust, who was crussufied back in the day at the hill of Gulgutuh. It has been said that he was Guds only sun and that his cousin was actually Juhn the Buptust...
Unywuy, I thunk I shuld stup this nunsuns nuw...

You are a true prophet....speak the guud wurd....

[Ruben]

Is this the purt where I cum up, oh sh:te, I mean cume up with the 10 cummundments ur sumthing?

:confused: - Ruben

[Cota]

for the sake of saving time....5 will be fine....

[Ruben]

Argh make it 3, I'll sleep on it and cum up (yeah that one rocks indeed) with something, don't expect too much; we don't want anything that's actually binding now do we...

- Ruben

[Cota]

3 it is...a lazy prophet is one I will follow...

[Ruben]

Aye:

First rule of fightclub is... oh crap, that's not where I was heading...

...Aye:


1. Thou shalt not bespitteth thy neighbour for hijacking thy threads.

2. Thou shalt not cuss, for thee wilt bee awaiteneth by them three insanities. Thath is wit exceptioneth of f_ck, sh:t, cock, t:t, tw_t, d:ck, b:tch, p_ssy, ass (we're talking cats, dogs, donkeys and roosters here) and gud-damn.

3. Thou shalt not take Cota's name in vain oath nor piss himth off for mighty face-smashing will come, err correction; cume upon thee.


I guess that'd be it for making a good cruddist...

- Ruben

[Cota]

Now that the cruddist have commandments, all thats left is to apply of government tax exemptions and reap the rewards...

[Ruben]

Cruddists! Hail!

- Ruben


PS. Cota, don't forget the crack-smoking, you can't be a political icon and not do drugs or drink alcohol these days...

[Headshotz]

Oh, I always thought it was the 10 condiments.

[Cota]

PS. Cota, don't forget the crack-smoking, you can't be a political icon and not do drugs or drink alcohol these days...
Dont forget, you'll also need a love child and a spin doctor....

[Headshotz]

Hehehe :D

[Ruben]

Hey HeadShotz, did you know your signiature's kinda off the truth?

- Ruben

[Headshotz]

Off the what what now?

[Ruben]

It wasn't the toilet and it wasn't some guy down the hallway ;) Anyway, you've changed it now, so have last one look at mine so I can change it into something newly genious... (is that proper english?)

- Ruben

[Headshotz]

Hehe, so much random stuff to quote.

[Ruben]

I thought I've supplied you pretty well lately

:( - Ruben

[Cota]

Ruben is the source of all amazing quotes...

[Headshotz]

Yes, he is the leading quotist of the cruddists ;)

[Ruben]

...well what can I say about the quotisms, it's a giftism

- Ruben

[Headshotz]

Thats another right there ;)

[Ruben]

We gotta work on a cruddist-greeting thing, like the nazi's use to point their right arms straight forward in the air, and like the people from scotland lift up their kilts whenever they meet eachother out in the open (don't tell me you've never seen 'em do it, just don't).

We gotta have some sort of gesture, something fierce and strapping, and above all.. something them nasty unpeeledonion-throwers won't be able to copy or imitate.

...yuh

:cool: - Ruben

[Cota]

Thats a good point, did you have anything in mind..?

[Headshotz]

Raising one arm in the air, lifting kilt and doing a triple backflip?

[Cota]

That one will do just fine.

[Headshotz]

Hahahahaha

[Ruben]

I was actually thinking much more in the direction of something like urinating against tree's or waste-bins or something... in public of course (needless to say). Don't think that's been done before anywhere as a common greeting..?

:cool: - Ruben

[Cota]

That wouldnt work because some people cant urinate on demand....and some just cant stop urinating...it would get messy.

[Ruben]

That wouldnt work because some people cant urinate on demand...
I don't see the problem, if you don't have what it takes to be a cruddist then you're just not gonna be one, simple as that. I as a spurutual leadur am completely against having sissieboys in.

...as for the ones that can't stop; I gotta think of something for that one there. Don't worry, there's nothing a little mudutatiun can't solve.

:) - Ruben

[Cota]

good point, no sissy boys.....

[Headshotz]

Wait, whats the cruddist bible gonna be called?

[Cota]

"The Gospul of Ruben"

[Headshotz]

;) Good thinking

[Ruben]

Does that mean I need to do all that writing-sh:t?

:eek: - Ruben

[Headshotz]

No, just follow the trend of most religions, copy and paste someone else's sh*t ;)

[Cota]

yes, ctrl+V shall bring you closer to the lord..

[Ruben]

Hellalujah, say goodbye to your soul!

- Ruben

[falltimemusic]

yes, ctrl+V shall bring you closer to the lord..
lmao

[Cota]

Well Ctrl+C is just gluttonous :D

[yker22]

I know how to make fritters

[Cota]

Fritters, excellent...we need those....by the way...whats a fritter?

[yker22]

frituras, churros, snacks.
ingredients:
wheat, lard, sugar, salt, cinnamon, vegetable oil (corn oil), yeast, water, candy milk or fruit marmalade.
mix all that stuff (except candy milk or marmalaide), leave to repose, fry it, eat, get fat.

[BadBadNeil]

i think the wheat and fruit marmalade is just making it a tad bit too healthy a food.

[Cota]

ok, no fritters...greasey burgers are better for the heart...the way of a true cruddist..

[Headshotz]

Goos planning, you can find a store that serves these only 2 McMins apart from each other.

[Fresh_ales]

Fresh_ales:D

[PK Barackis]

i am a keen sports man, can play anything really and be half decent at it. mainly play footy, basketball and golf. also a keen biker but only have an old rubbish rig to work with :(

i m also pretty good at drawing. favourite medium being tonal pencil work :)



emm like cota i am very good at eating :) and can make a mean chicken curry :p


p.s Nice wheels btw Cota, bit jealous actually

[Headshotz]

I ride a pink bike with tassels on it.

[Ricod]

altho, i would call artistic stuff just 'a girl thing'

ahem ... :rolleyes: well ...

I draw, paint and such girly stuff. (I don't make cards though, but then, I rarely send those anyway)

And play games (Hey, it's a skill ! I could finish Street Fighter II with Chun Li without getting hit once ! (ah, the good old days where I only had 3 games so played just those few games until I saw pixels when I closed my eyes ... oh wait, that's not a good thing))

The only sport I do is running away from all those 'voetbal' nuts.

[Flash Gordon]

(Hey, it's a skill ! I could finish Street Fighter II with Chun Li without getting hit once Ewwwww......Chun Li....If they ever get Street Fighter online, well have to play. I used to love Ken!

[Tink]

I used to love Ken!dodgy when read out of context :)

[Headshotz]

Haha.

[Ricod]

@Flash Gordon: You own a PSP ? I think Street Fighter 3 for it has online capabilities. Need to train first, haven't played Street Fighter anymore since Street Fighter Alpha on the Playstation ... :rolleyes: There are more Ken-lovers out there though. A friend of mine also prefers to play with Ken, but then he also thinks Brad Pitt is the best thing to happen to the acting world since Sir Charles Olivier. :)

[PK Barackis]

Whoo whoo whoo! Street Fighter on the Playstation!?! what the fudge.

It's on the sega or nothing people!! i had (have) Street Fighter II special championship edition for the sega awesome stuff :D

Could complete it with any one of the character easy and knew all their special moves off by heart (Zangief's Spinning pile driver is the hardest by far!!).

and yes ken was my favourite. him and ryu were both the all round package. had both height(Dragon punchs) and distance(Fireballs). Ryn had the faster Fireballs and Ken had the better Dragon punch. I perfered Ken because i liked to get up close and personal. could finish someone off in 6 secs with him. all u need was 2 killer combos. Jump in - down C punch- normal C punch- and double hit with a C dragon punch :D


ahh man i am off to set the sega up even though i have an exam tomorrow!! let the good times roll. :cool:

pk

[Flash Gordon]

Yeah, but wouldn't it kick ass if SF II was online! Man, I wouldn't even have time to look at Maxim anymore :D

[PK Barackis]

It is.

[Flash Gordon]

Are you serious! :eek:

Why haven't I been told! I got to get it. I haven't played that game for years! Anyone want to challenge?

[Headshotz]

I never got into SF.

[outlando]

I used to play SFII turbo on the SNES, but was always totally pants at it.

My g/f kicks ASS at Tekken though, hehehe

[Headshotz]

I did own it up in tekken for a while though ;)

(u wanna put the hyper up to about 2-3 blue stars)

[Ricod]

There's an online version on the Dreamcast, but after that ... dunno.

I don't have a modem for my trusty DC though (plus, I'm completely into Last Blade 2 atm Took me ages to get a MVS as the AES version is way out of my price budget) :(
