The main appeal is that Firefox is a tad more secure than Internet Explorer, tends to run better, and is not made by Microsoft. And also extensions.

Don't like being ignored much, either, but whatever makes you mos comfortable...

Sorry about that! I didn't know that you were still referring to me specifically. At any rate, my apologies for any offense taken on anyone's count. Let's anaolgize things for a second: Pretend I'm an individual who lives beneath a rock and thus has never seen a Star Wars film. One night, I happen to catch a showing of Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back on a local station. Using the information gethered from said film, I decide to write a comedic parody of its events. While I didn't take the liberty of referring to the other Star Wars films I hadn't seen, I made assumptions regarding the characters' personalities and motives based on the incomplete knowledge I had of them.

TL;DR: It was meant to be a lighthearted, perhaps mindly entertaining work. It took twenty minutes to write, and isn't worth even that much time's worth of fuss.

* Suffix grimaces

This is a good example of why I am a consistent advocate of "creative speech," which is to say, avoiding profanity. Imagine how much less of an insult to BP this would have been if-- well, the caps lock and the possessiveness kind of set the insult to maximum anyway. From my logs, BP comes off as coldly irritated with Rao's behavior, no more.

Perhaps I am most bothered by the fact that BP essentially got slandered when it was my judgement that ended Rao's stay. Apologizing is fine, but you make it seem as if you even remotely understood what you watched. Thus ends my lecture on both communications and interpretations.

How about we all just listen to the Puzzle Place theme song and be hopeful now?

...Are we supposed to have heard of that show? Perhaps it was banned in Canada for not meeting the awesomeness quotient set by, say, Mr. Dressup.

Who wants to meet my buddies shut the **** up and be hopeful?

Anyway, I got paid a whole ton of money dollars today so I'm feeling aight. Might go heavily drinking with my pals this weekend.

Taking a four-hour trip to San Antonio tomorrow.

We'll be staying for about two days and going to be at the Six Flags (Fiesta?)

I'm also sick, but I'm overlooking that right now.

The Puzzle Place was awesome!

My grandmother, aunt, and cousin are coming to California from Arkansas tomorrow. I haven't them in 8 years so this should be an interesting experience.

I'm almost finished drivers ed.

And I actually got enrolled in classes for my e requirements, after neglecting it for 2 years.

A couple weeks ago my friends and I went and walked around town and we happened to meet just about every person that we hadn't seen in a long time save for relatives. I'm talking old acquantances, old friends, friends-of-friends, former girlfriends, dudes from first grade that I haven't seen since. I even saw my old Spanish teacher at one point but we didn't stop and talk because I hate that lady. Otherwise, though, it was very cool.

I'm just happy I showed up in the chatroom stats for the first time.

$92.74 later... I HAS EARTHBOUND.

I hope you got it complete in box for that price.

Glorb · « **Reply #4497 on:** August 08, 2009, 09:39:16 PM »

I hope you stole it from GameStop for no price.

ShadowBrain · « **Reply #4498 on:** August 09, 2009, 07:48:24 AM »

Well, I'm pretty sure there used to be sites selling it for far less, but I put it off for some reason and now... well, at least I got it before the prices could climb any higher.

If it's any consolation, I once made this.

~~I'm hopeful that the next person who posts won't throw a 5,000th REPLY AWARDS.~~ Actually never mind, I looked at the post count wrong.
