Housepets!

About that, it was actually 8. I had the MIRV.

Ah the Wastes. Where nothing, not even war changes. Mini nukes, and laser guns, mini-guns, and laser nukes...
After playing that game, you just know that when Nuclear Armageddon comes, will all be ready.

Metric is easy.

It bugs me when there's that person who's really into the whole metric thing though. So you're like "Hey how tall are you?" and so they're like "145 centimeters" and you're like "how tall are you in America?" and they're like "lol figure it out" and so i'm like "I barely understand how much a regular American unit is" and so they're like "trololololololol" and so I have to take the calculator i'm not carrying around with me and use the conversion formula I don't know to figure out how tall they are, as opposed to using american units, and all they end up doing is proving to me that metric makes everything complicated and we should never use it and anyone who uses the metric system is a jerk, which is the opposite of what they were trying to do.

I'm not saying that those people are annoying or stupid, but you should certainly infer that.

grumble grumble i'm an amurican.

That person sounds like a real jerke.

or you could just google it

because google will do it for you

(also i'm really 'into the whole metric thing' because i live in australia, which is another country that exclusively uses metric units. i couldn't estimate in imperial if my life depended on it)

Metric length works better because kilometers, meters and centimeters are all divisible by tens.
I think 1000 meters in a kilometer and 100 centimeters in a meter works better than 5280 feet in a mile and 12 inches in a foot.
It actually avoids confusion.

Don't look up Brent's numbers.

Does that have anything to do with the old chat threads? I don't remember using forum games much otherwise.

Can't say I know for sure but I'd suspect so!

It probably has to do with that, considering none of you play the actual games as much as I do. the difference is there because I came into the chat threads shortly before it was moved back into the main not the comic forum.

and the difference between the two numbers for me isn't that big because the forum games count towards the post count when you're a mod. (no idea why)

we should probably mention that to rick sometime so he can fix that. i certainly have never noticed forum games posts adding to my post count!

edit: posted in a games topic to check. mod posts in forum games = yes post count increase. what on earth, no wonder sleet has almost 10,000 posts

most of those were before he was a mod, so she got most of them the way everyone else does.
I on the other hand have cheated my way to second place. not that it really matters.

He knows; I've mentioned it to him.

But yeah, Brent has actually got 3654 Games posts to my 1012 if you use the search function instead of the user profiles. (Of course, that doesn't include games that have been moved into the Dead Thread Bed, like all the old Games-era Chat Threads, so it's difficult to know for sure).

The Surprises in Life certainly do keep us on our toes.

Internet cookies for anyone who catches the reference~

i just pasted it into google with no quotes for kicks

i laughed

Since it's capitalized, I would venture you are referring to Life Cereal.
Or perhaps to Milton Bradley's The Game Of Life board game

It's actually a very vague reference to Animaniacs. :B They did a Lion King spoof in an episode, parodying the Circle of Life opening sequence.

I love Animaniacs, and Freakazoid, and Pinky and the Brain. Man, Steven Spielberg made great cartoons back in the day.

Don't forget Tiny Toons ;3

I never got to watch Freakazoid while it was on the air, but I bought both seasons on DVD and I love it. It's such an off-the-wall show

I never saw Freakazoid either. Now I feel like I was missing out.

You did dudechick, its an awesome show. Funny clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Se9lSvfJJc

That was a great show growing up. So was Animaniacs

So, I really don't watch much TV anymore, but I have been watching more old kids TV shows, like Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, Freakazoid, Magnis XLR, and more reciently The Tick, here is one of my favorite episodes, The Tick V.S The Breadmaster: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8JZSKTA ... re=related

all great shows. I have a Freakazoid T-shirt, and my brother's planning to cosplay as Arms Akimbo at an anime convention.

and it was "Megas XLR"

and I am a deep voiced woman.

I never really watched any of those shows.
My dad couldn't stand them for whatever reason and he always changed the channel when they came on.

why would someone in america use metric in day-to-day conversation unless they're involved in the sciences or medicine

that sounds so pretentious

Ebly wrote:why would someone in america use metric in day-to-day conversation unless they're involved in the sciences or medicine

It would be ok if they just used it in science or medicine (which as we know is not a science anymore) but I wish they wouldn't take it into their casual conversations.

Because it beats juggling two systems.

So i got my Maxwell shirt, finally. It fits! Size small apparantly ain't so small on me, anyway. *uses the shirt to feel special around the house now*

Also, what is it with dentists? I get a filling today for a tooth, but i'm billed for 3 fillings? It's a good thing i'm covered, but the next tooth filling has 5? i'm beginning to suspect my dentist is evil and just wants to abuse my company balance, but since i'm no expert and he tells me he's just filling the rest of my teeth for recovery, i got skeptical about that. Meh. Rant of the day.

Show us a picture!

Maybe he botched it twice before he got it right, then billed you for all three? Which would be pretty shady, of course.

Doesn't seem like the type to botch fillings, honestly. he's in my opinion a great dentist, but i find between my good care and his bills, something doesn't add up these days. especially when he tells me which teeth are bad and doesn't tell me he's billing me for each filling

And yes, i shall get a awesome shot of my Maxwelliness someday.
