Here I shall impart wisdom, asskickings and whimsical musings to those seeking to taste from the fruit of my perpetual wisdom, capricious humor and... fuck, I'm out of words.
Dakyron
How do you fit your ego through a doorway?
Dragonspirit
Sideways.

Really, it's just like moving an oversized piece of furniture. As long as you angle it right, you can usually get anything in the house.
Dakyron
Ive noticed that at times my neighbors feel inferior in their manhood when they stand near me, and thus fear for the faithfulness of their wives and girlfriends. As such, I have occasionally been the target of jealousy related incidents. I can only imagine how one such as you, who must deal with this on a near continual basis, deals with such incidents. Is there any advice you can give me?
Dragonspirit
In your case, Dakyron, I would advise locking the trailer at night or move it down the street. Seeing as how you live in Arizona, you could hide it behind the hordes of illegals or better yet, if you prefer peace and quiet, Cardinals stadium.
Dakyron
Which brings up another question...

Do you think the Arizona Cardinals or the Los Angeles Clippers will win a championship first?
Dragonspirit
Clippers.

Elton Brand is pretty kick ass. Sam Cassell is good.

The Cardinals best player in recent memory is Jake Plummer, and as a Bronco fan I curse you... you "Nevada without the fun" Arizona jackasses!
Nalvaros
Are the rumours true, that you will hand back HIGHLIGHT status to its rightful owner (me)?
Dragonspirit
Banned!

Next question...
libvertaruan
Are you going to change the color of the highlighter of the site?
Dragonspirit
The highlighter of the site should be blue, because it's my favoritest color.

Now then, I expect tougher questions. All these soft balls, you'd think I was John Kerry in a NY Times interview. Speaking of libbies, I want the blood of liberals to adorn the walkway to my castle with their 'Why are you a conservative? Don't you get tired of possessing testicles? Doubly so because you are an American?' etc

Or, barring that, a sacrificial Oakland Raider's fan.

Or even more interview questions like 'Did you leave your boot in KFS's ass when you drove him off this board? Did he ever make good on sucking your salty balls? Speaking of sucking, Why does soccer suck? Why does most tv suck? Why does porn suck? Why does Lowell's porn just really suck?'

Or perhaps regarding my mod skillz. 'If you ban a poster in the woods do you hear them bitch?'

C'mon people - the knowledge is at your fingertips!
Sephiroth
Which porn should be banned from the site: mine or Lowell's?

Do you realize that wanting the sacrificial blood of Oakland Raider fans make you a racist?

Lowell's. At least freaks like you can glean some enjoyment from your brand of porn. No one could enjoy the crack hos Lowell finds.

QUOTE
Do you realize that wanting the sacrificial blood of Oakland Raider fans make you a racist?


Yes. I am racist against the raiders and advocate genocide in their case. But then again, letting them live increases their suffering, thus increasing my pleasure. I do enjoy that every coach that was approached by the Raiders rejected them (they would rather be assistant coaches, janitors, etc then manage that dump), and they were forced to go back to an old coach they had fired awhile ago.

QUOTE

The nudes are forthcoming!

Actually, I might post one soon. I think the only computer pic I have of myself right now though is from way back when I was 17 or so.
libvertaruan
That's what cell phones are for. Yes, cell phones are for taking pictures.
Dragonspirit
Mine doesn't. I'm happy if I can just get to the voice mail on it.

I know, as someone who lives in the LA area, it's a high crime not to have eight high tech cell phones attending me at all times, but I'm just a rebel like that. If the wife and job didn't insist I carry one, I wouldn't have one at all. I hate them for the most part to be honest - they are electronic leashes in hand held form.

Plus, I've had to dodge enough assholes on the road who can't put the thing down for ten seconds.
libvertaruan
I don't get reception at all indoors, which in a way is a plus; unfortunately, in my dorm it is teetering on the edge of existence, and thus about the only calls I ever actually get in there are for some dude named Tim who has not had my phone number at least since mid 2004, generally at 5 AM on a weekday because apparently Tim never sleeps. However, having a cell phone does have a major advantage for someone as paranoid as me: it at least offers the illusion of privacy from other people, so that if my roommate shows up I won't suddenly be talking about less than I would had i been talking on a phone plugged into the wall; the phone I do have in my room that is plugged into the wall has this cool new cord which attatches it to the base so I don't accidentally lose that part of it or something smile.gif

Why has Massachusetts always been by far the best state of the Union?
libvertaruan
wtf, massachussetts has the bawstn accent. That disqualifies it from any awards, period.
ro4444
You are a Southerner. Your accent is like a badge of inferiority, forever marking your lesser intelligence and wit.

1. Larry Bird. The greatest basketball player of all time.

2. The high concentration of mAssholes, in one small localized area, makes every other state look great in comparison. It's kind of like when a pretty girl will take her fat, ugly friend with her to the club. It makes her stand out as even better looking due to the sharp contrast. And in the way that fat friend is the woman's "best friend", so is Massachusetts the "best state".



QUOTE
hows your healthy life program going?


Off and on. I droped from 210 to 190 in a little over a week just from cutting out sodas and most carbs, but haven't had a chance/inclination to start working out like I wanted. I've managed to keep most of the weight drop off but I need to hit the gym to make any more progress.

QUOTE

We're just happy when we can find the time for any inbetween work, kids, household duties, commuting, etc.

QUOTE

Um... you make it sound like I would need incentive to randomly and unfairly ban someone. But if I had to... maybe QWOT, since he tends to elevate that leftwing side of discussions and it's much more fun to paint all lefties as guys like Lowell and KFS.

considering mankinds development and accumulation of weapons of mass destruction, what is your favourite colour?


Blue. But my favorite color scheme is blue, with white and black trims.

QUOTE
and *what* is your quest?


To accumulate a great sum of wealth and investment in a short as possible period of time, legally and without fame, so that I might provide a great life for my family and on an individual level be able to spend my free hours surfing, smoking and playing poker.

85 mph as I crash into it with my car.

If forced to choose, would you rather go hunting with Dick Cheney, or have Ted Kennedy act as your designated driver?

How do you put up with the stupidity of the average Californian? Is it true they tend to have the intelligence of lowell but have the partisan fervor of our own Highlight?

When the big one hits, do you hope to be swallowed by the ocean and drown, burned to death via gas explosion, or shot while defending your property from looters?

Dick Cheney. Oh, I know you heard about that 'hunting accident'. That wasn't no accident. That was a liberal in them thar trees!

It's tough. I walk down Ventura Blvd and get asked by idiots to 'Stop George Bush now!' who are selling crap like 'peace candles'. And it makes me sad. So many liberal asses, not enough hours in the day to kick them all. But then I think, it could be worse. They could be idiots who wear cowboy hats everywhere and refuse to acknowledge daylight savings. Hell man, even New Mexico had Billy The Kid. Arizona has some blue jeans named after it, John McCain... and that's about it.

The Highlight can't be drowned, he can't be burned, he can't be shot - he can only be obeyed. When the big one TRYS to hit, I'll hold the fault lines down with the palm of one hand while I bitch slap mother nature with the back of the other.

How many chucks could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck could?

More importantly, what is a chuck anyway?

You're 190 pounds. Since I have no idea what that is in kilos, and am too lazy to find out: Are you some overweight old guy? Because seeing overweight old guys in the gym is very disturbing. They're like a morbid reminder of what you could end up like if you don't do exercise and all that jazz. Except I'll never end up like that beacuse I'm naturally skinny anyway tongue.gif

Anyways, its almost as bad as seeing your lecturer in the gym. That gets too weird. *Shudder*

If you won lotto and got say $200m or something - I hear you have rediculously large first prizes in the US - would you ever consider sharing your winnings (say, $5000 for selected persons tongue.gif) with the rest of U-P?

Why did you single out QWOT as a left wing poster? I thought he was moderate right.

When are you and your wife doing to do the Octopus next? What if bits start falling off? [Read that shenny thread for details laugh.gif]

Edit: Why are you taking so long to respond to my post? You've been online for like the past 15 mins! REAL Highlights have a upper limit 5 min response time once they're online tongue.gif

I can't believe someone wrote a wikipedia page about that game. Of course they are missing the best part, which is the screen that is displayed after you win a match:

I'm 27. And I look normal. I do have a beer gut though, and that has to go.

I hate seeing anyone I know at the gym. I'm there to feel pain, and at least if I get laughed at for my eleven minute mile no one I know is the wiser.

That would be sweet! I would have more money than God. Heck, I would even have more money than Vlad! And yeah, I win the lottery I'll hook people up. I'll pay to fly everyone to Vegas, and I'll give anyone that can pin Lowell in the mud wrestling pit $5,000!

QUOTE

Different definitions of left and right, and as I said I would like to generally maim, kill or ban any reasonable and outspoken leftwing users to make the radicals seem representative of the left.

Do you consider yourself to be mainstream?

Dragonspirit
QUOTE

Not always mainstream, but I don't mind that as many "mainstream" views are perpetuated by ignorance and social conditioning. The average Ricky Lake or Jenny Jones tv watcher is mainstream.

At the same time, I think I am far less rightwing than my reputation here mainly because this board has a lot of international and relatively young posters. Compared to the average American I am fairly moderate. Even most political tests I've taken have put me almost deadeye to the center.

What it is is that I have very assertive opinions. When I'm assertively left, it tends to blend to most of the leftwing posters here as a 'normal' view (like supporting a good minimum wage or legalization of recreational drugs). When I am assertive to the right, it strikes out very boldly here because most of the users are not rightwingers.

Amusingly, I've been called a Marxist, a Socialist, etc on other boards by still expressing my very same views. IOW, it's all relative to your company.

I think I used to put you in pretty far to the right. Not extreme right but far enough to make it into the crazy group tongue.gif
Nowadays I see you as being just a normal rightwing person. Approximately. Although that may have to do with my not remembering any recent political post of yours.
See the following scale I just made up for details on gradation!
<More Left>[Centrist][Center Right][Moderate Right][(Normal) Right][Far Right][Extreme Ultra Deavy Duty Insane Rabid Right] <More Right>

OK so maybe my scale doesn't perfectly model my views, but its damn near close enough for the effort I put in tongue.gif Oh yeah. Its an absolute scale btw.

Now, I'd like to think the average rightwinger in the US is about where you are on my scale and no further to the right and of course preferably more to the left. If indeed you are considered a moderate (as in centrist) on a relative scale of the US, it is somewhat moderate.
On the other hand, I am not terribly surprised. I have heared it said by political commentators that the US is now so far to the right that what the US considers "left" qualifies more as Centrist in the rest of the Western world.
