Hi all,

Want to spend a minute of your life in a strange place? Well then, step right up and click

It is a minute long video, made in Britain....

VERY strange and very entertaining.

Katherine

Bizarro is right - gave me some freaky bedspin flashbacks ( just hold ON! HOLD ON!!!)

Whatintheworld?
Aren't you hitting the pipe a little early today, K8? ;)

Entertaining in a bizarre way. As a full-time iPod user, it kind of makes me fear my own sanity, though!

I liked it! XD

Whoa I have no idea what I just watched but it was coolkinda.

It should be called "If Apple took over the world"

I WISH life was like that! Maybe I'll start talking reeeeeally slow and it will catch on...hmmm, maybe not.

Wow, that was.... Um, it was.... Interesting.

Me like! XD

Wow. Trippy. What was it?

I liked it though!

STUPID

(nappy? Nothing stupid there.... That is like saying a piece of ART is stupid. It is just a minute long experience that is kind of interesting in its absurdity)

Me thinks Nappy takes the world a bit too seriously.

Right, Who was a little too serious last night with the pissed off scrum? So do I need your permission to join a casual scrum game YOU'RE in? Today you get to be laid back? The ad is STUPID!

Hypocrite

I'd like to see this expanded.... IPod controls on sink faucets... Steering wheels that are scroll wheels...

Reminds me of the kind of dreams I have...

Brilliant....someone's been dosing with their ipod too much...i like the guy in flames, very dali-esque.

Nappy, what the hell?
Why are you so angry?

Last night I only got uppity with you because I was being handed my ass by Demolition in a one on one game that you were watching.... When I finally come close to scoring a point you decided to intercept me and steal the scrum from me right at the goal. I told you that it made me angry that you did that and that and I was over it.

Lately it seems like it is REALLY easy for me to make you angry in the forums and I don't understand why. You seem to be submitting a lot of negative or angry posts toward me.

Well, First you need to get the accounts straight. You were leading 17-4 and you both stated you werent really playing a serious game. As well you didn't know Dabble was Demolition at that point. So, "your ass" looked to be in fine condition, you were way out in front, (13 points) even if demo was outscoring you since he entered the game. You asked me immediately after you got "uppity" Are you playing in this game?" Which I knew by the amount of scores in a seven minute game that time was about up. I just didn't get it. Who the hell are you? I have always been nice to you even when you have the elite escorting you to high scoring victories. When I did try to talk to you (as you have stated) "I seem to be too tight lipped in the game" I received no replies.
Fine by me.

To get more to the point, I try to be fair and make things better and I'm just starting to get sick of the peope bitching and whining. The sad part is most of the whining that gets to me is not from the young kids, because I expect that. It's the 30 somethings crying all of the time. It's pretty fucking annoying.

My run in with you was just the start of a shitty night. I moved on to other games in which everybody had a good old time keeping and going out of their way to have an unbalanced set of teams.

When I went to sleep I was wondering why I stayed up late for this?

Not a good sign for me.
Napalm (time bomb)

Nappy...sac up man!
don't let the man keep you down.
it's a game...you DO have the /ignore script, dontcha?
I'm always up for a bitch-free game :)

Na dude,
It was an entire night of bullshit. I'll be fine. And yes I do have the ignore script.
I actually like the chat, I just whish it stayed up there longer. I can't play well if I'm always reading the conversation.

Anybody know how to change the display druation of the chat display?

Thx though,

Nap

Whew... Napalm.... You have a lot of anger....
Maybe you should get away from the whole thing for a while. We have all gone through it, we have all walked away for a while and it is a good thing. You will come back refreshed and ready to play and it is all fun again.

Something about this whole experience is addicting and like any addiction, it can become too important, or can become too emotional. Little things start to seem huge and the next thing you know you are blowing up at nothing, quitting the game for good, or leaving PTT for good (all of which I have done). Then after a while away, the game starts to sound fun again and you come back.

If all of this is getting under your skin, find something else to do for a while. Trust me, it helps.

Katherine

PS; even though I am trying to be helpful above, I want to tell you how I feel about your following statement....

That is a really shitty thing to say to me and is yet another addition to the list of shitty things that you have said to me. I don't like it at all. You are seeming like a mean person lately. Watch what you say, this is a small and close community, your tone is hurtful and spiteful.

Last edited: Thursday, January 13, 2005 at 2:16:06 PM

Play nice, kiddies

@Evil...

One question... When did you become such an incredible scrummer?? Did you just have an exceptional night last night or was that your status quo?
I don't remember us playing together too much, but my memory of you was that you were a competent player... Last night you were amazing and unstoppable.

Katherine

Blushing...um....er.....well...thanks!
I took a three month hiatus due to increasing school tension, and then came back to TT land with more skill than I left with. [I'm puzzled too] Thanks for the props.

...

Enough thread hijaking
how 'bout them ipods?

This got off track kind of fast...all I can say is that the ad was very weird. I'd like a scroll-wheel fire extinguisher and a 2 gigabyte iPod sandwich sometime.

ET used to play alot, then took a break and has been back recently. Watch out! He is awesome! Especially when he has taken his perception enhancers. ;)

I just realized that I told Evil Twin "Last night you were amazing..."
LOL

WOOT, we have taken TT to new heights!!

:)

Good terminoligy RX, "perception enhancers" lol...thanks for the hype
kate, I might take a hint from KBC and frame your comments to hang by my bedside.
You explain to my girlfriend.

If you recall you recently told me you're having some issues in some servers so I offered you admin privies hoping to provide you with more control over your experience. You thought it was a good idea as well. In addition you recently (in other words) suggested I converse a bit more in game. I thought I'd try that out. So when I started playing the game and you ask me if I'm playing in my own server as if I need your permission and then stop conversing it appears your being snobbish. Maybe you were too involved in your other conversation, I don't know. Especially after I just tried to help you out. So please don't imply I'm just trying to mean to you. It's reciprocal. When I'm on the offensive it's usually after something happen to me like this. If I didn't an entirely shitty night I probably wouldn't have said anything. But I am getting irritated with people that can't see past themselves. I'm not referring to game play either. See the thing is I have the same thing happen to me later, out of nowhere Professor come by and nails me just before I score. I didn't even know he was playing. But I didn't get "uppity" with him. I lose the srum 20 times a game. Big deal. You made something of it. It's not like we were on the same team.

If you need to send out the hounds, Please, feel free. I rarely go on the offense and will take nothing from anyone if I feel I'm insulted. I will play until I decide to stay or go, whether we get along or not. I'm not trying get in a riff with you but you act like it's only me, and you werent even involved. I hope we can get along but maybe I should go back to not chatting like I was before your suggetion.

Maybe I should just stay away from the high priestess all together. (High Priestess K8) lol
Feel free to use that as an alias.

Alright, alright, lets not compete for getting the last word, okay? Every now and then personalities conflict in the heat of the moment. Its a new day, so dump it. Now, can we let this go and get back to the subject about what drug would most enhance this movie?

- BombJames Bomb

^^ sorry abou that! I promise I won't kill you when we play the Sheep...you can have first shot at shearing them :P !

Na man, like I said, it's part of the game. I made nothing of it. I was just surprised, I didn't know you were in the game. But that's because I try to focus on the game rather than play it through the console. That's probably why I miss alot of the comments.

Oh well.

Nap

Ok Nap, I am done with this bickering. As much as I want to address your points and your continuing insults, I can see that it will get me nowhere.
(I was being snobbish? Wrong again, I didn't even know you had tried to chat with me)

From the time when I made a silly joke correcting you about "your vs you're" you have been oversensitive and ready to attack... Not how I choose to be involved in a "game".
Seems like whatever I do I offend you, I keep treating you like you are a buddy, and you keep misreading my intentions.

Maybe we should steer clear of each other for a bit....
Let's just call it done for a while eh?
:-(

OK, I think what's called for here are nice, liesurely, relaxing, full-body massages.

I volunteer to do TG's! XD

Back to the movie for a second. As bizarre as it is, it is kind of a reflection on how pervasive digital music in general, and the iPod in particular, has become.

Ipods are awesome....although there are other devices out there that are comparable and under the usual mac prices.

Napalm: heya buddy!! Dont worry about it. TG doesnt like me either :)

B

Bolo, I have no dislike for Nappy, he has the dislike for me. I can't seem to keep him from being angry at me. Oh well, what are ya gonna do?

Also mr B, I don't even have dislike for you, I just don't groove with the whole cartoonish ego thing that you embrace..... It permeates a lot of your actions here and in the game.... Nothing can be done about two people who are opposite enough that they can't relate.... Just the way life is eh? No bad.

Reagent
Please bring plenty of oils, and candles. I feel beat up lately (in the real world too) and could REALLY use a bit of TLC. NOTHING sounds better than a full-body oil massage. OMG!
Also, bring a whacky pipe and a couple of robes, and either a great red wine or a malibu rum mixer.... How about some great music..... We could go to a spa in Napa Valley, both get incredible massages, eat a fantastic zen dinner, then sit on the front porch overlooking Napa valley and smoke a good one, relaxing in rockers, watching the sun slowly set, music playing, cold icy drink in our hands........quiet relaxing chats about all of the interesting stuff in the world.... Get a bit buzzed....relaxed..... Zen..... Mmmmmmmmmmm

Sure! Hang on, let me ask my wife if it's OK! XD

I just got an iriver 20gig HD player for less than the 20 gig ipod. It supports OGG Vorbis (my codec of choice), plays.avi video files on it's 2" TFT color screen, views jpg, bmp & text files, records from stereo mic in/line in, has an FM tuner (which can also be recorded from) & I don't have to send it away & pay $100 to get the battery replaced. XD

@ TankGirl |K8|

Katherine, This is how I see it.
I'm not sure why you believe I'm always angry with you. I know, I have twice, maybe three times called it to the table, but then moved on. As you have seen, I have had many small games with you in the past several months. Have I EVER said "why did you do that? Why didn't you pass the scrum? WTF? Or anything like that to you in a game? I usually stick to N1 and TY, if I start typing I'm automatically behind the play.
Please bring up the events; I don't mind being made aware if I have been excessive. I have never, ever had a problem in a game with you. Actually, you're great competition. We both have our strengths and shortcomings which make for good games between us.

I asked you "who you think you are" and you lost it. I don't think that's all that bad of a question. In fact I think it's a good one.
That night you pissed me off, by telling me I pissed you off. It was like, how I dare take the scrum from TG. And then I was ignored when tried to converse with you. So I said whatever.

You're right about the

Yet later in the thread you didn't have the "it's" correct yourself. Funny
Why do you always try to correct people and give them "advice?"

You just gave me advice about my grammar, taking a break from the game, and gave Bolo a full Psycho analysis of his "in game persona." As you give B your impressions of what you see, everything's all good. But if I question you, you're being attacked and I'm mean spirited. These are always labeled as help too.

You're in multimedia, not a psychologist or a grammar teacher. Why are you always correcting people? What make you feel the need to do so?

Maybe if you can give me some insight in this need, I can better understand your comments.
Again I don't hate you at all. When something bugs me it shows. I will usually be outspoken and try to work it out. You asked me to be more vocal. Bet you wish you could take that back now huh?

Regards,
Napalm

Nappy.... I will say it again....LIGHTEN UP. It is ALL for fun. You seem to be the ONLY person who was offended by that. It was all in fun, festive, and silly. And you you keep repeating that I made a mistake with "It's" as if that is some huge deal! The reason you think it is a huge deal is because you are making WAY WAY WAY WAY too much out of that thread.

QUIT BEING SO OFFENDED AT EVERYTHING I DO AND SAY....
Jesus, I feel like I have to walk on eggshells around you.

Is there ANY way we can stop this dialog?

If I simply don't reply to you anymore, you will call me another name (let's see what names have you called me in this thread so far... Oh yes, "Hypocrite, Snobbish, and High Priestess") in three separate posts.

Now, in your most recent post you are starting to attack me on a deeper level, a "What is wrong with TG that makes her do the things she does" kind of attack.
In my opinion, you are on a track to completely end our relationship.

You have to stop this. Not only have you hijacked this thread, you are really starting to get under my skin.
You have to stop this.

Again I ask, Is there ANY way we can stop this dialog?

With all due respect to both of you, and I do have respect for both of you, you should really consider taking this discussion offline somewhere. Email, chat, whatever. I didn't care so much in the beginning, but this really isn't the place for you two to be airing your grievances with each other. I know you understand what I'm saying. Please just consider doing that. Thanks

You stated earlier you would like to discuss this. I can drop it no problem. If you want to discuus it just email me. No big deal.

Last post regarding this.
Napalm

Thank you.

Moderators, please lock this POS and let it sink.........

Done.
