It's one of the worlds nastiest competitions... who's got the most money. Money hoarders :P Hoarders never give up their stuff, and will do anything to keep it.
shits a four letter word yet it covers so much
Very true! They say the same of gold... well, they say you can make it ultra thin and it won't break
That's right, I pillaged it from an old unused account made in 2000. And you're correct, I got the name Austerity from the lyrics of a song that was new at the time, and then shortly afterward austerity measures were beginning to be imposed in various locales across the globe.
Yay, pillaging! That's one of the main reasons my username's so.. unusual. I guess ppl figured they could sell the prime-named accounts later on.... I went through almost a dozen names before NG said it wasn't taken - got it (vicarious) from a line in a movie called Fandango.
yeah if you flatten a ball of gold the size of a golf ball it covers an entire tennis court ._.
Whereas if you splatter a person, it only covers half a tennis court ._.
you sir are quite hilarious ._.
Surely you jest
A portion of your rant quoted, "Fuck the rich".
I thought we were friends? Not all rich people are bad, just the bad ones.
Anyway I just stopped by to tell you how much I love E-Bay. I just scored a new in the box $500 fishing reel for $30.45 and that included shipping/postage.
See even I can be a cheap bastard when I want to be. LOL!
You're upper middle class my friend, not a billionaire who controls the destinies of billions of people through money and their respective industries. I think the worst ones are the Rothschilds and SE Johnsons (banks and 'household' chemicals), they care little for the worlds human beings, only absolute control.
Ha, ha cheap? My first fishing pole was a string and a stick and the stick broke when I got a big cat fish! Casting is important and I've had many friends who spent big bucks on fancy reels, with good reason. It's one of the last cottage industries out there that make little groups decent money. Your new reel must have ceramic parts with tight tolerances.
Seems like the middle class in the US stopped growing in the 70's... at least where you're at, mining and industry have given hard working ppl a chance at a good life with financial security. Our healthcare system here worked well when most everyone had health insurance at work. We lost our 'common cause' sensibilities, when our industries (and their tax dollars) left for foreign shores and left our citizens holding the bag to an outdated system. (rant :)
cheap contest? lol
guess it turned into one...
Well I just got back from my best mate Jims new bands (as yet un-named) gig (all be it short and sweet). It was only supposed to be 45 minutes but they were so good they were given an extra 30 minutes. They were seriously awesome (for a band that has had at most 30 hours of practice time together) and have been offered a permanent paid Friday and Saturday night gig. I got some great footage but unfortunately being in a smallish pub environment really killed the audio quality. It's not completely crap but it's far from good. We had a quick listen to it when we got home and Jim begged me not to put it on Youtube, so I will respect his wishes. I will convert them from .MOV's tomorrow and upload a couple to the NG Dump so you can have a look and maybe you can help me with a fix for the audio, if not I will (without Jims knowledge) take the Memory card to a professional studio and see if they can work with it. My camera is good but I think they were just too loud and the in-built mic just couldn't handle it. So I'm going out tomorrow to get a new camera, something with a decent plug in microphone. We shall see what happens from there.
PS: My first fishing rod was a Matchstick with a strand of my ex-wives hair. I couldn't even catch a Neon Tetra it, it was so shitty. Now that's cheap!!!! LOL!
I'm pretty good at naming things I didn't create, so after I take a peek, I'll throw some names out there... won't be worse than how the The Ink Spots got their name, to be sure :3
Really, there's no way to plug microphones into your current camera? Man, they (old video cameras) used to have every iteration of sound plugs built into those things: 11/32", 1/8"... I made Radio Shack a lot of money in the 20th century.
One camera doing a bar shoot? Insane! Best to have one on a tripod locked in and recording the audio, in whatever will pass for a 'sweet spot' - wrap up the mic head in wool socks, which is good for excessive noise and wind (they used to make some real hairy ones for wind). The pros usually record off the instruments :(miss the days of individually miced drums) and mix them, before it goes to a monitor or speaker system, far away from the action.
Be sure to color balance off the same white when using more than one camera... Could go on forever, but to 'fix' the audio you did get, might be a tough proposition. You're learning and doing well!
Guess she was right, it's a cheap competition :3 Can't eat tetras, too bony :| I worked at an arcade that had a large fish tank with an oscar in it. Chinese lady asked the name of the fish on her way out. When I told her she said, "too bony" and walked off, thinking it was part of our redemption prizes! Shoulda nicked a Nemo doll and gave it to her, for making me smile so much! No tickets, all the points were on cards, which also paid for the games via card readers, with noisy motors (non-swipe). They jammed and got dirty constantly :P
Always wanted to go to those Texas state fairs where they fry everything from butter to soda to candy bars.
I press my own french fries, using the Fry Daddy I bought my ma (finally found the stupid plug to it!). Use anything but vegetable oil :P Best oil mix I made so far, was canola with a little toasted sesame and peanut oil. Great for fries, chicken, cheese. Some folks use pure peanut oil, but that shit is even more expensive.
Hmmm! I just noticed this.

shits a four letter word yet it covers so much
Shit is a 4 letter word, shits is a 5 letter word. Kids these days, I don't know. No appreciation for apostrophes'.
She might've typed that on a phone... she killed 5 laptops and not even 21 y/o yet! She is very special to me, the daughter I never had.
well i am EXTREMELY sorry sir!
let me fix my mistake!
shits everywhere, learn to deal!
Ha, ha, he rattled your cage! He's got a daughter about your age :)

Well I just got back from my best mate Jims new bands
"best mate Jims" <-- I'd lay off the grammar nazi remarks, bud; You're forgetting to use our good friend (The apostrophe) as well.
No, GJ's right, the apostrophe 's' is used for' is', 'was'
the proper punctuation (if at all) would be jims', but that's becoming old school :\
Don't worry, he ain't sweatin' your GF :3
'Tis used for possession on proper nouns.
Used to be old school taboo, but even that was on it's way out in the 80's. Dunno about how they enforced language things in Australia.... So you're right, it's the modern standard and we're being old.
I gave up on being a grammar nazi in the mid 80's, after most of the press organizations in the US consolidated, leaving pure crap in its wake.
i actually did not type that on a phone :P i pay only 25 bucks a month! i cant get internet with that! lol
i couldnt care less about punctuation or spelling ._. so long as someone knows what im saying ITS ALL FABADOODLEZ!!!!
quite the fabadoodlez indeed
how many minutes a month d'you get?
unlimited talk and text :P
I think I heard of this one... works off internet wi-fi?
FUCKING YES!
I HAVE A BRONZE WHISTLE NOW!! O:
HMM. Very good! Either someone hacked that guys account or he just went batshit. Either way, I checked his review page and tagged what was clearly offensive.
Still at pinkie pie pink norman normal whistle strength... maybe one day. Takes time.
Yeah I've been for lack of a better term "camping" out on his page waiting for new reviews to come in because 98% of the reviews hes doing now are abusive. So I can just sit there and keep getting stuff for my whistle xD
And who know maybe I'll qualify for the EGB if I keep this up. Hahaha
you serious, he's still at it? if I didn't see his first review blasting our artist friend......
well, it should be an ongoing process of checking reviews, but nothing too old or too many pages back.
just be careful - one slip up sets you back a fair pace.
Yep he is. And out of 101 audio reviews roughly 40 of them are abusive.
Ah don't worry I'll be careful.
I don't want a Garbage Whistle ._.
Those take forever to get rid of....
Makes me wonder how the mods divvy up the work, software wise....
Dunno. You could always PM a mod if you really wanna know.
Like I told my cousin: I'm only an educated computer user, not a programmer by any stretch of the imagination :| My Pop could not understand how important these gizmos are - always told me they were bullshit, but not so much in the 21st century....
Just feel pissy I didn't follow up on the things I wanted to do (educationally) after HS.

Finite amount of shit to give, huh?
