Astrological fact

[imported_Marcus]

The planet Mars is the closet it has ever been to Earth in 59,000 years at 7:51 AEST.

Just had a look through a 20x Zoom, pretty cool to see it :)

[Lilaena De'Ville]

We can see it plainly with the naked eye. It's really cool. Wish I had a telescope though. :(

[imported_Marcus]

10 seconds.... it's here! as close as it gets!

[Dasquian Belargic]

I can't see it! :cry stupid clouds and sunlight!!

[Crystal]

Hm. I'd like to see this but I'd have to go outside, but I'd need to get dressed and it's dark out there :(

[imported_Marcus]

Wish I had a 1m telescope. apparently you can see the 'canals' really well

[Quay'Na Rakai]

I've seen it as well, but with no telescope....:(

[imported_Kanji]

!@#$ I missed it!

'suppose to be like that through the rest of the week... right? :cry

[Darth Viscera]

This must be why we're having such bad weather. You know how disconcerting it is to look out your window and see that everything is perfectly normal, except your 20 foot tall tree is bending at a 90 degree angle and flailing in the wind, right before the sky vomits a sudden bucket of rain?

Scared my cat, that's for sure. Mars needs to keep its distance and give us back our weatheral stabilitude.

[Darth007]

uh lol i think thats just you Visc weather is fine here

[Darth Viscera]

Yeah well you live in "coffin", which must be an isolated place that's well away from all these worldwide weather deviations.

Weather's not fine lately in Europe.
Or the Middle East.
Or Washington D.C. When you think of Washington D.C., do you think of Monsoon season?

So no, the weather's not fine. It's either el nino or Mars or both!

[Ryla Relvinian]

The weather around here hasn't been as hot in the mornings as usual, but, all in all, pretty good weather. I'm hoping for a nice clear night. :)

I just hope this doesn't predict the third coming of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. ;)

[Dasquian Belargic]

He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named? Which one of the couple of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named's are we talking about? :mneh

[William Belargic]

There's She-who-shall-not-be-named and He-who-shall-not-be-named... maybe she's refering to that He-who-shall-not-be-named?

I think?

*Looks to Ryla*

Am I thinking of the right one?

[Lilaena De'Ville]

No no! He must not be named!! :eek

[imported_Marcus]

Itala Marzullo?

[ReaperFett]

Too cloudy for planets tonight.

[Sorreessa Tarrineezi]

ah.....he said He-who-shall-not-be-named! noooooooo! *runs off screaming*

[Arya Ravenwing]

Just don't say ...it...three times in a row. >_<

[imported_Marcus]

ITALA MARZULLO!
ITALA MARZULLO!
ITALA MARZULLO!!


* BANG! *

:: Smoke clears ::

Hmmmmmmm.

[Sorreessa Tarrineezi]

:lol run! they're gonna breed with anything that moves!

[imported_Marcus]

We are like a disease with no cure. You will all die Jedi.

As soon as I get my pants back on

[Sejah Haversh]

I could change Sejah's last name to Stone, you know.

Or there could be a Jamel Anajii.

Oh, the terrors!

[Lilaena De'Ville]

*runs away*

[Sorreessa Tarrineezi]

Or there could be a Jamel Anajii.

[Sejah Haversh]

They would be showcases of eye-corking pleasurement.

[Ryla Relvinian]

Oh what horrors you all have unleashed upon us! :p

You. Don't. DARE. ::shudders:: I had a-l-m-o-s-t forgotten the horrors. >_<

[imported_Marcus]

[Zeke]

As you should! >_< :x

[imported_Marcus]

Ewwwwww. Had to have a bath

[Sorreessa Tarrineezi]

[Jela Rowan]

*looks around*

A~HA!

*grabs a vial of Holy water and tosses it at Marcus*

Be Cleansed!

[Wei Wu Wei]

I remember the second guy. It was odd posting with him. Only RPed with him once.

[Ryla Relvinian]

Be very, very glad you don't remember the first one.

[Crystal]

Damn it. Anytime I forgot about Itala someone brings him up again.

And Jamel.. I recall hearing about him but, don't know whatever he did though o_O

Edit: Hey. I just realized:

Zeke quoted sorr wrong :)

[Sorreessa Tarrineezi]

opps, yes, yes it does....*shoves Leeloo so they'll get her*

[Zeke]

Actually Leeloo, Sejah said it first, then Sorr repeated it. I simply quoted Sejah instead of her. :)

[Crystal]

:uhoh


Oops, my mistake. Didn't notice Sejah said it. ^_^;

[Lion El' Jonson]

Oh, I remember Jamel really well.

"Seeker of Incomprehensible English" should've been his CT.

Anybody happen to remember Judas? :D

"Seeker of one word posts..."

:lol

We've had a few memorable trolls in recent memory.

[Crystal]

*shivers*

No Judas. No.


NO.


Uhghshgsgh :x

Now I need a shower

[imported_Marcus]

Hmph. Jamel was an amateur if you call him a troll. Now countryboy, there was a troll. Or Jonathon. or.... CINEMATIC.

[Aaron Belargic]

Martial arts FISTING

[AmazonBabe]

Dear gawd NO! >_<

[Dae Jinn]

This thread is making Baby Jesus cry! >_<

[Ryla Relvinian]

:rolleyes @ Jonathon. I'm ashamed to live in the same state as that one.

I still think the worst one from the early days was NYUBoy00, and his "psychological experiment." He had everyone fooled, then we found out he was in league with Cinematic/Gorgonhorn.

It got quite ugly afterwards, IIRC.

[imported_Marcus]

Oh god, NYUBoy00 was indeed terrible.

All other trolls were amateur compared to him

[Master Yoghurt]

If I remember correctly, NYUBoy00 actually turned out to be.. :eek NYUBoy00 = Cinematic/Gorgonhorn

Thats what made him such an amazing troll. 3 of those combined into one! As Cin/Gorgon he would attack SW, and as NYUB it was the other way around. He was arguing with himself to provoke flame war, then when Cin/Gorgon were banned, he finally revealed himself and his little "psychological experiment"..

The original SW vs Titanic thread with Cinematic I still have stored on harddisk :)

[Crystal]

Yoggy!!! :crack

I don't remember NYUBoy00.. or the "psychological experiment"Probaly before I actually started paying attention to anything here, but I'm rather curious now.

[Master Yoghurt]

Well, I suppose I could quote the opening post of that thread. I wont post the whole thread, because it spiralled downwards and the flaming got pretty bad after a while, with some inappropriate language etc. But this one post explains what was the inspiration of the name "Turbogeek, and what would later become the turbogeek code. The forum ethics standard, where you defend SW and stop the trolls :)

CINEMATIC
(6/8/99 4:13:14 pm) SW is nothing compared to TITANIC - These are the facts
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Titanic was based on a real life incident. We
as the audience know the events depicted really happened to those poor people. Jack and Rose though fictional were the living embodiment of the hopes, fears, and dreams that everyone on the Titanic had. StarWars is a
total fantasy, so the empathy factor just isn't
there. Unless ofcourse you're a TURBOGEEK with minimal human contact.

2. Despite asinine SWTURBOGEEK assertions that Titanic's repeat audience was
all teenage girls, the truth is that Titanic's
repeat audience was divided fairly evenly across all demographic groups, including many well-educated adult males (such as myself).
TPM's pool of repeat viewers is much narrower, as it is almost entirely made up of 8-14 year old boys and hard-core SW "get-a-lifers".


3. The Performances in TPM were horrible. The little boy crying at the grocery store line could have given a more convincing performance than Jake Loyd. Titanic had absolutely beautiful performances from its actors. Their hopes made you care, their dreams inspired you, and their eventual fate made you feel a sense of foreboding. There were none of these elements in TPM unless ofcourse you're a TURBOGEEK.

4. In TPM, the special effects really call
attention to themselves, which tends to take us out of the moment. In Titanic, the special
effects served the story without getting in the
way of the story.

5. Unlike Titanic, TPM has Jar Jar Binks. What a horrible creature. Unless ofcourse you force yourself to like it and blindly accept it like so many of you TURBOGEEKS do.

Face it people TITANIC is the greatest movie in the world. TPM is the greatest pile of overhyped bull----.

TITANIC WINS

I got to love how Cinematic ended all his posts with "TITANIC WINS". His persuasive abilities were unrivaled! ;)

[imported_Marcus]

LOL, and a post or two later, Darth Q changed his name to Darth Turbogeek :D

[Crystal]

Ah. 99.. that's why I don't know you're all talking about. A little bit over a year before I got here.


LOL, and a post or two later, Darth Q changed his name to Darth Turbogeek

You were DQ before? Not DT?

So.. like Dairy Queen?


I'm actually surprised you kept the name for so long, instead of going back to Darth Q after the thread

[imported_Marcus]

So was I actually - most of my friends call me Q. I thought it would be jsut a one or two off up yours tot he troll but I guess I got to like the name.

So in RL, everyone calls me Q, online I get DT :)

( Dairy Queen???????? Huh? Wots' that? )

[Crystal]

I'm gonna start calling you Q-ball :D


And dairy queen.. I didn't think about it, but guess you guys wouldn't have them there ^_^; Ice Cream/fast food place, DQ for short.

http://www.dairyqueen.com/

[imported_Marcus]

That looks disgusting, food wise.

Heh, you wont be the first to call me Q-Ball :p

[Crystal]

Does McDonald's look any better? ;)

and.. Well.. then.. darn it. I need a nickname for you that's special. :(

[imported_Marcus]

I cant stomach McDonald's either :x

and I'm sure you can come up with something :)

[Crystal]

How about...

Fikerdoodle!!


I like that name :D
