    A "BB" because Baby got Back.

    (Unless I was supposed to continue with AB… which would make for quite a long game).

    I love podlings, personally. I like them best when I either know them very well, or my contact is limited to a few hours, though.
    When you're staying with friends and hanging with their kids or siblings, you spend enough time around them for the little things they do to annoy you, but not enough to actually call them out on it. Basically, you can't hold them at all accountable for their actions, and if they realize this, they'll get a good deal less tolerable (depending on how close their authority figures are, of course).

    I love my younger brothers to death, though, and since I'm thirteen years older than the youngest, I get to call them out whenever they're being unreasonable. Most of the time, they're a ton of fun to be around. I'm going home this weekend to help my oldest brother and my dad terrorize the little ones, which I'm really looking forwards to. ^_^

    Do you know this one?
    Though, it's not about JoCo
    Anyways, here goes:

    Haikus are easy
    But sometimes they don't make sense

    I like that haiku.
    Sometimes we need more JoCo.
    Here's another stab:

    A lock of your hair
    Your enemy is sleeping
    His woman is free

    It's true, you really can't trust the history books to give an objective description, at least not the history books aimed towards students.

    Take, for example, the usage of the atomic bomb at the end of WWII. I know that my ninth-grade textbook devoted at least three or four pages to it's development, Truman's internal debate, and finally the dropping of the two bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

    I have heard that the comparable Japanese textbook in the mid 60-70's included only one line, roughly translating to: "In early August, two atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki." I have also heard recently (from less reputable sources) that Japanese textbooks now focus intently upon the devastation caused by the two bombs, as well as the firebombing of Tokyo, which were both completely absent from the version of history we were taught.

    Oh, for a time comparison, I'm 20, so the history books still have a lot of owning up to do.

    Awesome, it was even better than I dared to hope. ^_^

    Oh, man, I hope you're doing the song I'm thinking of. That'd be super awesome. ^_^

    I'm pretty sure Orange Box is meant to be a standalone set, meaning you don't need to buy anything ahead of time. It includes: Half Life 2, HL2 Episodes 1 & 2, Portals, and Team Fortress 2.

    Wow, very awesome. I'd love the chance to be an extra (I wouldn't be nearly decent at any speaking lines), but there's really no way I could be down in NYC when you guys are filming. I'll try to figure out if I could help in any way, but I don't have very many helpful skills in this department.
    I can't wait to see what happens with this. ^_^

    The only radio experience I've had is with the highschool radio station, and they just had to make sure the music didn't have explicit profanity in it. Of course, the real world is often a lot different. =P
    I'm not sure exactly how extensive their library is, but it might be that they don't have JoCo's music on hand to play.

    One of my favorite open things is source. It's just so cool having software that you can open up, rearrange the innards and then use again.

    Sorry Jon, I wasn't very clear. Cableflame was responding in part to Kerrin's remark about this thread turning into a flame war on any other forum. The all caps, intentional misspelling/abbreviations and excessive use of exclamation marks were meant in parody of people who really do type like that. Common usage will look something like: "OMFG ROFLROFLZORS TAHT R SO LOLZ!!!11@!!!11," the extra ones or other random symbols because of the typist's obvious excitement (or complete lack of control, whichever the case may be). The 'won' was a misspelling of 'one,' I do believe.
