I don't care about the censored words.  As long as I can still say [hindquarters] then I'm fine--wait, we can't say that?  [Darn] it!  Argh!

Mario Chat / Re: Will there ever be a new Super Mario cartoon?

So... regarding a new Super Mario cartoon, my main concern is that it would cater to younger children and subsequently be less enjoyable for older fans.  Kind of like Nickelodeon's new Ninja Turtles.

Since I've been gone, I noticed that the Stories section is missing from Miscellaneous.  Now there's Fan Creations and Forum Games.  Where is the most appropriate place to post Mario-stories fan fiction?  I would guess Fan Creations, but when I search for old stories they're in Forum Games...

I "died out?"  You mean left?  It wasn't until late 2008 that I officially left because I had more pressing matters to attend to in real life.  College and stuff.  Coming out.  Getting a job, that kind of stuff.

Remember jon and that whole "Yay!" thing?  "Mario likes to dance in his backward pants?"  I still laugh when I think about "Luigi really hated it when he craped his pants."

Mechanical Pencil.  You can also see part of another self-portrait in the corner.

Fall quarter's over, my next book's coming out soon, I got a Wii U and a 3.5 in Japanese...

You've written a book?  Fiction??

For Christmas I got a tablet with Photoshop!  And some oil paints, some watercolor canvas, and a fancy recording microphone.  I'm going to paint up a storm now!

Seriously though, CrossEyed, what if a murderer escaped? A death sentence makes sure that doesn't happen.

So do secure windows.

Yes, I think it is wrong to kill someone who has committed murder.  Displaced from the actual murder situation, it seems arbitrary to be allowed to kill someone who has once committed murder.  Life if you meet an ex-convict who had killed someone long ago and served their time and repented for their past deeds, and you just kill them??? Especially since murdering that person makes you a murderer.

If you're being pursued by an attacker who just murdered someone a moment ago, then it seems not only justified but also advisable to defend yourself by any means necessary, even if that results in the attacker's death.

I don't like when swear words are used maliciously or to put down someone; I don't like swear words that (intentionally or not) target a group of people (i.e. retard, gay, etc.);  I don't like hearing "God" followed by "[darn]."

I am perfectly fine with people swearing in frustration to themselves.  Swearing at someone is a different story.

How does the WBC qualify as a religion, again? It's a crazy guy and his legion of cousins, I think that fits a description more along the lines of a hereditary mental illness.

This has been the most satisfying description of the WBC ever.

General Chat / Re: Colors that remind you of...

« on: December 16, 2012, 01:33:07 PM »

June is dark red??  I would have guessed something more reminiscent of summer.

I see numerical digits as certain colors.
1 = red
2 = blue
3 = yellow
4 = orange
5 = green
6 = yellow
7 = pink
8 = black
9 = purple
0 = black

As a result, the number 23 reminds me of electricity (electric blue and yellow).
