Off Topic / What about you is different from the others?

« on: February 09, 2011, 07:58:47 PM »

Now I don't promote tribal jokes when I say this, but this was just too funny to pass up.

I have a buddy who gets pissed off very often. He was pissed off today. You understand so far? When he gets pissed off, he likes to do things like sitting in his chair backwards or hitting his head on his desk. Today he decided he'd wear a hat in class. He just sits there until the teacher notices and says the exact words:
"What about you is different from the others?"
Did I mention he's African Kenyan? What about the fact that he was the only African in the room?

I guess you can share your own stories similar to this one.

Games / Whirled

It's basically a sort of social network meets online economy meets arcade meets room decorator. I'm not particularly good at explaining things of this sort, but give it a try. It may seem overwhelming at first, but it's easy to figure out, even without the crapload of wiki articles they have. It helps build egos in the way that you can earn money in games and make a nice room and brag about it. You're generally free to do what you like. Also, if you have knowledge in Flash you can list stuff for others to buy. If you want to look for me in-game, my name is Spoadock. Identifying yourself as someone from these forums would probably earn you a bar (premium currency), considering not too many sign up and mooch them off of me.

But if you would kindly do me a favor, come to my referral link so I can earn more bars to give away:

Pic is my house in-game. (changing soon, only one author's art style fits there and I don't like limiting myself like that. Especially when they haven't made a lot.)
Someone is bound to make fun of my name. It's an inside joke, I used to play with my irl friends only.

Drama / General Jon the Dyslexic (and his "sister")

« on: May 10, 2010, 08:43:37 PM »

Well... I met someone in IRC who was making up sentences so bad that you couldn't even read them. His name was General Jon. Some other guys and I started making fun of his grammar because after all, it was pretty bad. Then he made a statement that I didn't understand. "stop makeig fuun of me!!!!!! i hae disleeea!!!!!!" Was what he said. I decided I'd had enough.

Later on someone's server...

I join the server and start working on a house when suddenly a name that sounded familiar entered the server. It was Lizzy316 whom I'd met on Techno's server. I said hi to her and she asked me if I knew her brother "General Jon". (This was the "OH stuff" moment.) I said yes and asked told her that he was acting like a total idiot on the IRC. (I thought she was being paid by General until...)  She explained to me that he had dyslexia and then I went... crap. I felt sorry for him at that point but then he joined the server. The first thing he said was "hi sis" to which Lizzy responded "Hi bobu!"... The second thing he said was what shocked me. "i hae you Robotrob". "yuo caled me and idot" was the third thing. "Yeah... about that... I didn't know you had dyslexia." Is what I responded with. "stfu i dont care if yuo say sorry" was his response to that. I told him that I would not shut up and things just got more heated. Lizzy asked why I had to bully him in the IRC and told me not to talk to her brother like that. I was starting to assume that these two were around 10. Lizzy said some things that didn't make sense in the situation but one fact struck me. SHE was dyslexic too. I played the same "Dyslexia is not an excuse..." card and I noticed something. Though her grammar was not perfect, it was much better than her brother's and I stated that. She said more things that didn't make sense in the situation and then she said her brother was the "intelagent" one and I'm like "WUH?". But that was kinda contradictory to what she later said about her being helped with her dyslexia when she was young and her mom just finding out about her brother's just now so he wasn't as smart. They both left because I disabled access from their ID's on my house's door and then I was harassed in the IRC. Lizzy told me I was an "idot" and she said she would send a hacker to shut down my server. The server wasn't mine...

Now...
