Im with Aimee on this so i ask the following -

Question; why do some time people respond only reply with a link and very little self written explaination?

Because its my thread and I can answer any way I want. Some times the links are informative and interesting, and if you don't read them you will fail the final exam at the end of the semseter. Sotimes the student must take responsibility for thier own sense of humor, grasshopper.

Is pink an acceptable color for a man to wear? Think about your answer carefully!!!

(hah, I'm having too much fun with this troll thing..lol)


Yes. its even an acceptable color for strainght men. As long as it is a shirt, and is worn with a suit and a tie. (Pink is never an acceptable color for anything other than a shirt, unles you and Carson (from queer eye) sleep together at night a tzusz each other in the morning. Pink can be worn with jeans, or couples with green, khaki. Of course if your shirt is a pink bowling shirt with black naked lay Sillouhettes, then it is acceptable with black bowling pants (or anythign else, Boobies rock, even in profile!)

Dear Jake,

Can I hook my Tivo up to my home network using a usb to ethernet adapter, to an Xbox Wireless adapter I have lying around? It seems to me it'd work as it's type G, and the wireless adapter is already registered on my network.

Thanks,

Taco

Hey Jake,
Why is it that the villains are always more interesting than the heroes in movies? Is it the cooler clothes, the wittier lines, or something else?


Because they Hire Hayden Christiansen or Orlando Bloom to be the hero. (well they hired people who can act too, but they kill them off in the first film, and given them no lines in the subsequent films).

Maybe its beacause they know we americans are strainght-up gangsta's Ai'ight?

..And along similar lines, why DO villians in movies typically get cooler clothes and wittier lines?


James bond had much cooler clothes and witier lines. And Lets. Not. Forget. Shatner.

Who had cooler lines and better clothes than James T. Kirk?

No. I don't think they are an exception. Very often the good guys have cool stuff and witty lines. And very often the good guys win, even if the bad guys have cool stuff and witty lines. Sure Darth Vader and Darth Maul were cool. But really? What other cool bad guys are there?

However, in order to prove a dangerous opponent, bad guys can be smart, clever and well equipped, but ultimately they are flawed. I mean a bad guy needs to have a good scheme that needs a hero to overcome it. Besides we like underdogs. And well, in order for our hero to be the underdog, then the bad guy has to look even more badass.

Howdy, Jake!

Here is a small series of questions regarding your parenthetical:

1. Whose 'Boobies' rock? Do you mean 'boobies' the bird or 'boobies' the boobies?

2. Do 'Boobies' really rock?

3. Does Garoad have boobies in his profile or do you mean 'side-long'?


(Here is the part where you get to talk about 'boobies' :D)

Well ther is a whole school of mods to the tivo. Basically if someone makes a technology, there are a million teenagers who want to rape the ssytem and make it do things it wasn't meant to. ( I have seen the by products of black box hackingm personally, and it is not pretty. I think the issue with networking tivo may be a software one. I know aimee hates links, but if i were liking my tivo to my net I would start here:

http://www.ptvupgrade.com/products/ptvnetCD/index.html?cd=Google

and here: http://www.connectedhomemag.com/HomeTheater/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=42708&pg=2

Of course why anyone bothers with television, when you have second life is way way beyond me. Everything you can find on tv-drama, comedy, talk, and even mindless "reality shows" you can find in SL. Also using your tivo to copy movies and then display or otherwise distribute them for anything other than your own private home use is, of course illegal.

1. All boobies rock, especially yours. And I don't mean Boobies as in the birds (though I am told they are quite fond of early elvice and the big bopper). Unless you mean birds in the english slang sense, as in: "look at the boobies on that bird!"

2. Yes, and they swing and sway and bounce.


3. I mean side long-picking up on my earlier reference to silouhette's. You know, like the naked lady mudflaps and grill ornaments on a semi truck. like these:

Because the drier eats your socks of course-its what drier's do. In addition to the usual flow of electrical current, all driers are sustain on a steady accumulation of socks.

The appearance of red fuzzy socks is a phenomenon unexpplained by science. A commonly held theory is that the red fuzzy sock is the digestive by product of the drier's consumptions of red socks.

It could also be tha tyou have a kinky girlfreind, with a fetich for red fuzzy socks on her man, or on her.

Or perhaps your wife, or mother, felt that the socks were adorable and just the think her boy needs to wear to the Smith's Chirstmas party. These then resurface periodically through out the year as you put off doing laundry for longer and longer periods.

I am laughing so hard, tears are rolling down my cheeks (and, just for you, 'they' are swinging, swaying, and bouncing right along with me. :D) You have made my day.

Jake,

Isn't Pinhead a cool ass bad guy? or was he just a scary bad guy? Did you see Strange Land?

So, you're saying that this is an inappropriate usage of pink for a single, straight troll?

Pin head was not really scary, or cool. He just had a bad accupuncturist. The scariest part of the hellraiser movies was the box.

Yes I saw strangeland, I am old enough to actually have bought twisted sister albums when they were new. And remember that Captain Howdy started life as an 80's pop metal song. recycled and redun into a psycho finding victims on the internet. Suprising. Wonder if he played SL. Oh and freddy krueger is in it, another nod to 8o's horror. certainly not anything liek a show stealing bad guy, unless you are deeply inot the modern primitive ethic, and love piercings. For some people this does it. I am told others like sex after car-crashes.

To give Aimee webber nightmares, of course.

roaches are a very existential creature. They exist because they can. They are marvellously efficient eating machines and are amazingly hardy creatures (only keith Richards is hardier).

Dear Jake,

I think my apartment is infested with Keith Richards. Does the Orkin man take care of this sort of problem? What do I do?

Allright, so she did not take the bait. Dammned FIC.

It used to be that the only way to get rid of a kieth richards infestation was a baggie of herion in the hall way. When the pest left, you could simply lock the door. In recent years however, the pest has developed an alarming resistance to this bait, and so one must resort to more dramatic methods. People have had succsess with using nubile young blondes or redheads as a lure, but this often causes a stir, as it may bring a Mick Jagger to your house and compound the infestation. I am told that playing ashely simpson, jessica simspon or any of the recent influx of estrogen light pop music will cause a kieth richards to recoil. And Playing Britney Spears I can't get no satisfaction may in fact kill the pest. However, the pest is an endgangered species and protected by state and local laws.

Taking pictures of the pest and asking pointed questions has rid several people of celebrity infestations. Giving russel crowe a phone has been known to clear a house of all residents and celebrity pests, until the police come a deal with the problem.

In Los Angeles, at least, distribution of a free scientology personality test, as well as directions to the celebrity center has been known to work on several infestations. This tactic is more effective against movie stars than rock stars however.

If you can acquire an angelina Jolie, she has been known to have a taste for older creepy guys, despite her current attraction to brad pitt (maybe she is holding out for the day when he becomes an older creepy guy).

If all else fails. Call a limo and ask him to leave.

Hope this helps.
