TANgents welcome (#36) (Page 43)

HTFU and do better next time.

Can you feel the love? 

Fixed - missed the red in that sarcastic font.   Remember, I'm the king of winkey-smileys!    whooooooops, missed one -

I will have you know that it was purposely not in red.  Because it could have gone either way.  Just 'cause you're all buff and stuff, doesn't me you can go around changing the meaning of my statements.  Do you know what I mean? 

Whatever.  TAN is for fun and we give each other shat, if you haven't noticed.  Don't get so defensive.

I'm so confused.  Are you totally messing with me now?  'Cause it feels like you're totally messing with me now, which is actually pretty cool.  If not then, I'm seriously confused since I give and receive the smicky-smacks and silliness in TAN quite regularly.

Why is it that it doesn't rain for over two days, then rains two hours after I water my plants? 

yo...

could you two keep it down in here?

I keep feeling a disturbance in the Force... you're messing with my groove.

They have gone over to the dark side....

"I find your lack of faith disturbing"

A few years ago (2005) we had a Star Wars Marathon for Christmas: Ep I, II, and III on Christmas Eve, then IV, V, and VI on Christmas Day.  I tried to bail out of it by Ep VI, but they forced me to keep watching.  It took me almost two years before I could watch SW again.  

"Now at the end do you truly understand the POWER of the dark side"

I love SW... the wife... not so much..

That's because they made you watch 1,2 & 3 first.  The originals were much better...ok maybe they were better because I was a kid when they came out, but really they just seemed much better. 

Well I also think that the original trilogy is overall much better, but I would say that if I have to pick three individual eps, it would be 3,4, & 5.  However, if we would have started with the original ones, there would have been no incentive to watch the more recent ones the next day.  I mean who wants to wake up Christmas morning to Jar-Jar?  Plus Ep III is kind of a downer so it's not really the best placed to end.  Apparently they are making a clone wars movie, but it's going to be animate. And yes, I am a nerd (but you already knew that).

I can see how not everyone would be into it, some people just aren't into sci-fi.  My mom is a huge sci-fi fan - she'll watch just about anything, even those SciFi channel original movies.  She once called me while she was watching "Volcano in New York" or something like that.  I'm more of a mainstream sci-fi person myself. 

I'd call you a nerd ... but that would be the pot calling the kettle black... since i have LOTR tattoo and such...

ep3-6 much better to watch first... since George retroactively changed things ..

And if you are going to watch 4,5,&6 make it the originals or just the THX audio'd versions instead of the remastered ones where they added scenes and such. 

Weren't you the one with the thundercats tatt?  Or was that someone else?  And the LOTR tattoo is going to require pics.  Mind if I ask how many tattoos you have?

You could probably just get away with watching ep3-6 and not even bother with ep1&2. 

I actually have the original originals on VHS and all, completely undigitally remastered.  I remember the first time I saw the remastered ones, I was like 'I don't remember that scene being in there', it was really noticeable.  I guess though if you change the past, it can help to can the present and future as well. Ah George Lucas.  Whatcha gonna do? 

yes.. thats me with the thundercats tatt .. i'm a geek...  I have 11 tatts all together.. 2 armbands (one is the LOTR the other is Tribal), Thundercats, a wolf , and 7 japanese kanji on my spine...

11 seems like a lot, though the 7 might be considered one group.  Hey Pot: you're a nerd. Love, Kettle 

I've thought about getting a tattoo, but can't think of anything I like that much. 

I almost did get one at the end of last year. Was going to be something like a sprocket with the Triumph T inside it with a set of three arrows coming out of it (would have been my own design, had it drawn up and everything) to show my love of motorcycling and to some extent the fact that I'll move forward and side-to-side in life but never backwards. 8 months later I've got the motorcycle up for sale because I with two more months like this month I'll pass my motorcycling mileage (this year) with my bicycling mileage.

ETA: Well, there was also that tattoo that we all talked about Friday, but I opted out of that one also.

See this is what I mean. Do you think that you would ever go back to motorcycling?  I'm personally not against tattoo's, I'm just not that committed to any one thing.  That's why piercing things is so much easier, you're not really trying to say anything other than, 'I really like to adorn random body parts with metal.'  Which is often a statement in and of itself. 

Yes, I do think when the money is there I may get back in to motorcycling (if I can sell this one, because I'm not going to lose money to give it up, I don't want it gone that bad).  But I'm not going to say it would absolutely be on the same brand of bike, so if I were to get inked it wouldn't be any type of brand specific idea.  The rest of the idea would still work, it'd just be an odd looking gear for a bicycle.

I see (I think).  Why are there no Sprint with short bike courses (< 25k) near me?  It's not that I don't like to bike, it's just that my biking is so bad that I wish it weren't so long for the actual race.
