Bored in the Forum? Try This:

[Slynky]

In an effort to show just how bored someone CAN be, I will confess to sinking to this level of boredom removal:

I look at the names of the people present and then run the names adjacent with each other to come up with "new" names. For example, several people are in the forum now and the "word unions" yield (the best mixes listed):

Ack Asmala (more like http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif Asmala)
Asmala Slick (we all know that!)
Slick Stone (yeah, right!)
Taera Timstone (sounds like a cartoon character)
RexTorres Pax (Pax Imperia?)
Slynky Stormcloud (sounds like a deadly fart)
Ruatha Gryphin (a special type of gryphin)
Gryphin Me (I don't even want to know!)

Well, now you know I have absolutely NO life beyond this Thunderdome... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/blush.gif

Slynky,

Get some rest. Seriously, take a nap outside in the fresh air -- Atlanta must be beautiful this time of year.

Sincerely,
Richard Arkcon

Besides, I'm in 4 PBW games and THREE of them need only ONE more person to submit before the turn comes...gotta be here. Gotta be here! Just gotta.

Ugh, somebody STOP me!

Just saw "Slick Me".

(I can't stop! It's like a tune in your head you can't get rid of)

No! NO! NO! He has a song stuck in his head! We must counter this with another song!!!

Taz places a large 4 foot bell over Slynky's head and then plays Wagner's entire 'Flight of the Valkyries' on it with a large hammer. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
There that should help - let me know if he suffers a re-lapse! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

[Slynky]

Hehe, Taz. (but surely you took a glance at the top of the screen to see what YOU could make out, too, didn't you? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Oh, BTW, like the avatar muchness!

I feel unclean.

I must now watch "Mary Poppins" to flush these thoughts from my head.

"Gryphin Me"?
Hmm, wonder If I should teach Slynky the Gryphin Positon. Clearly he has toooo much time on his hands.
Wonder if Pooh Star would like to help.

This sounds a lot like one of the sleep-dep games my friend and I used to play, around four am, when your creativity is over-appreciated and everything is funny. Except we used location names and got results like these.

Wiscontantinople.
Michiganistan
Saudi America
Londigrad
Afrinam
Pakisgodia
Istanconsin
and many, many more.

We even once convinced some inebriated young lady that Francistan was a real country. I think one of my friends eventually obtained the domain name.

We once did this for more than five hours straight. Every half hour or so, someone would say "Maine" and everyone would laugh even harder...

Inarguably, sleep deprivation is a mind altering experience all on its own.

We used to have a saying, "It's not a party until someone has an emotional breakdown." But since the sleep-dep shin-digs were dry affairs, we never called them parties. Who's going to lose their composure without chemical assistance?

One day, several of us were sitting around and I told her I had just bought a new smoke detector for the house...one with all the bells and whistles (so to speak). I told her it had lights on it to light a path out of the house, a volume control, a choice of 2 sounds, and (for the finale') a snooze bar.

She said, "Oh, that sounds nice.". I replied, "Yeah, especially the SNOOOZZE BARRR." (paying particular attention to accent the words)

She added that she had a snooze bar on her clock radio.

Finally, I couldn't take it any more. So, I said, "Yeah, so if the smoke detector alarm goes off, you can either get up or get 10 more minutes of sleep."

After about 20 seconds of all of us staring at her (with contorted faces), she said, "You GUYS! They don't put snooze bars on smoke detectors!"

Yaaaaaa THINK !!!!???
