You have just entered room "BTTFersUnite." WeathrExperiment has entered the room. vampdocette: hehe, Hallo all EnigmaSphinx42: Greetings and hallucinations PoolScoop: Hey everyone. :-) WeathrExperiment: Hey all PoolScoop: "Hi Dr. Nick" LOL Anonymoose84: Yay BTTF fans! vampdocette: :-D PoolScoop: Heya Paul -- long time no talk. How are ya? WeathrExperiment: Not bad. Anonymoose84: How are you Vic? How was you late class? WeathrExperiment: Just been chatting with AM84 PoolScoop: I haven't been in a chatroom this busy since first half in the millenium PoolScoop: ^ Me too. vampdocette: Eh, kinda boring tonight Anonymoose84: I get around! :P vampdocette: A bunch of kids skipped PoolScoop: Was this your writing class? vampdocette: Nope, US Lit vampdocette: I have writing 3 times a week at 11 through 11:50 EnigmaSphinx42: .......doesn't literature usually involve writing? ;-) Anonymoose84: Wow...I only have my writing class once a week...but it's for three hours... vampdocette: lol, not mine PoolScoop: I always liked lit stuff myself, anything writing related, lol. vampdocette: hehehe, yeah PoolScoop: ^ heh EnigmaSphinx42: Not necessarily your own, silly Vic vampdocette: :-P Anonymoose84: What sort of US Lit are you doing at the moment? Old? New? PoolScoop: There's no way I could pass off my 'old Biff in 1885' story as original fiction, LOL! vampdocette: hehehe EnigmaSphinx42: Maybe if the teacher wasn't a Backie vampdocette: US Lit from the 1800s right at the moment PoolScoop: True. Anonymoose84: Yeah 'Who is the Biff you speak of?' EnigmaSphinx42: lol 1800s vampdocette: Tonight was Thoreau, Stowe, that sort of thing vampdocette: :-P Anonymoose84: Never heard of 'em. EnigmaSphinx42: I actually need to find some historical fiction from 1885 onwards vampdocette: Ahhh EnigmaSphinx42: You know, research and all that WeathrExperiment: Whicj one of you is Marty Fan? EnigmaSphinx42: Can't very well write Doubleback without it PoolScoop: I bet I could count the number of guys named 'Biff' on one hand. I'm sure it is a real name, but I've never heard it outside BTTF vampdocette: Have you heard of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" Moose EnigmaSphinx42: That would be me Anonymoose84: Yes I have! I think I've read it too...can't remember... WeathrExperiment: I think I just added you the other day to my friends list. EnigmaSphinx42: ....suppose it would be nice if I knew who you were on LJ vampdocette: Stowe wrote that M WeathrExperiment: Heh. http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=timewanderer PoolScoop: I always thought--in part 3, Marty should've said "Hey Doc, those banjo guys look like ZZ Top. That's heavy" Anonymoose84: Aha...I never noticed the author before! EnigmaSphinx42: lol EnigmaSphinx42: Ah, I recognize you right off from the very name, okay vampdocette: hehe Anonymoose84: That always reminds me of "The Simpsons" ep where Bart yells at those Rabis! PoolScoop: I'm sure Marty could've been a ZZ fan, but I guess it would've been one too many cutural reference jokes PoolScoop: ^ LOL I taped that episode a few years ago. Never get tired of it vampdocette: :-P PoolScoop: that was when The Simpsons was still regularly good. :-) vampdocette: aha EnigmaSphinx42: Am I the only one here who's never seen an episode? Anonymoose84: "ZZ Top you guys rock!"That's the New York ep, do they still show it because of the WTC? PoolScoop: Good question. I don't know vampdocette: hehe Anonymoose84: Those two guys in the towers are funny.\"My tower's better than yours!""Come over here and say that!"Or something of that nature. PoolScoop: I know it aired in '98 originally, so maybe it wasn't even in syndication 3 years later. vampdocette: lol PoolScoop: I liked when he had to go to the bathroom - runs in and sees 'Out of order. Please use other tower.' vampdocette: :-P Anonymoose84: LMAO! Oh poor Homer! Anonymoose84: "How frightfully rude! I hope someone stabs him in the eye!" vampdocette: heh PoolScoop: The nitpicker in me still sees a lack of continuity in the series, LOL. I wonder how Homer's car got fixed after the boot damage. vampdocette: lol Anonymoose84: He took it to Frank Grimes's son ;-) PoolScoop: Could be, heh. PoolScoop: Another thing is- since they're cartoon characters and stay the same age, their birthdays technically go up every year. vampdocette: lol PoolScoop: Makes it hard to write fanfic on it, LOL. vampdocette: hehe, yeah Anonymoose84: What's weird is that Apu and Manjula married had 8 kids and these kids were 2 years old yet Bart remains 10 years old! vampdocette: *nod* PoolScoop: I did (not surprisnly) like the one where Lisa goes to the fortune teller and sees herself married to Hugh. Anonymoose84: The Octopulets! :-) PoolScoop: ^ yeah PoolScoop: That was mid 90's, so that "future" couldn't be later than 2010-12. We're almost there now, hehe vampdocette: :-P PoolScoop: Homer was down to one hair, hehe Anonymoose84: How does that work I ask you? :-)Also Homer will mention that things happened a 'few' years ago, yet everyone is still the same age... Anonymoose84: LOL That was brilliant! PoolScoop: I guess they don't count on people like us nitpicking it! Anonymoose84: LOL yeah... PoolScoop: Ah well, doesn't take away from the enjoyment EnigmaSphinx42: Nitpicking is fun though vampdocette: hehe Anonymoose84: It is! Fun :-) vampdocette: yeah PoolScoop: For sure. I've done it long as I can recall PoolScoop: Even before I got into movies (around 8 or so) I'd do it when we were riding in the car, counting the towns or the time it took to get somewhere. It's embedded in me, hehe vampdocette: LoL Anonymoose84: Oooh long car trips...the worry! EnigmaSphinx42: 10:04! Anonymoose84: 10:04 CALLL! :-) EnigmaSphinx42: Hah! vampdocette: The boredom, actually vampdocette: Yay, 10:04 EnigmaSphinx42: See how bored we are, for instance? PoolScoop: Oh yeah, I'm in California time, so it's only 7:04 vampdocette: lol vampdocette: aww EnigmaSphinx42: We do this every night that we catch it ;-) Anonymoose84: *The Georges and Lorraines celebrate!* vampdocette: hehehehe PoolScoop: feels like 10 with this weather, though. EnigmaSphinx42: ...which isn't often, admittedly vampdocette: heheh, true Anonymoose84: Yeah the weather is just awful in California! Lots of houses have fallen down and stuff. vampdocette: blah PoolScoop: I heard it on the news. We're pretty much on sea level here, but there's mountains/hills close by and all EnigmaSphinx42: And I'm up in the frozen north vampdocette: Ahhh, okay Anonymoose84: It's La Nina coming to get you! vampdocette: We're expecting snow tomorrown night -- I might not have school PoolScoop: We had El Nino in 97/98. I still don't miss it, LOL vampdocette: hehe EnigmaSphinx42: Heheheh, even if WE had snow tomorrow night I wouldn't have school anyway vampdocette: :-P Anonymoose84: We've had El Nino for 10 years! What a bitch! EnigmaSphinx42: I love my permenant three-day weekends :-P vampdocette: Lucky EnigmaSphinx42: ^permanent Anonymoose84: Yay Permant 3 day weekends rock! vampdocette: hehehe vampdocette: Then again, I have four days off every week PoolScoop: Yep. I like Fridays though. First day off, heh vampdocette: Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday Anonymoose84: It'll suck when I have to actually GET a job... EnigmaSphinx42: dkjkdgiuansllkalk *falls off chair* vampdocette: awww vampdocette: O.o PoolScoop: Seriously though, my perception of the weekend has been skewed for a few years 'cause I always work on the weekends and have the plays, night classes, etc vampdocette: lol, I see PoolScoop: ^ lol Anonymoose84: WTF students live in the Ramsey Murder House! O.O I wouldn't go NEAR the place! vampdocette: O.O WeathrExperiment: I'm going to go to bed soon. Just typing up an LJ entry beforehand. CYA Anonymoose84: Bye Paul! :-) PoolScoop: Me neither - I couldn't stand to live in a place someone died. vampdocette: Ahh, okay vampdocette: bye EnigmaSphinx42: Sleep well PoolScoop: ^ TTYL Paul WeathrExperiment has left the room. PoolScoop: Good night.;-) Anonymoose84: Off he goes! vampdocette: yup EnigmaSphinx42: Into the wild blue yonder~ EnigmaSphinx42: ....no more old old movies for me *headdesk* vampdocette: O.o? vampdocette: Why not? EnigmaSphinx42: Because automatic quoting reaction of course ;-) Anonymoose84: But yes what happened to the good ol' days when they tore murder house down.There was a big bruhaha here in Aus becuse they tried to sell a Murder House to some people. vampdocette: lol, I see vampdocette: O.o I see Anonymoose84: The House looks eeeevil! vampdocette: *shudder* PoolScoop: That does bring up a point - my complex was built in 1969/70, so my house, heck my room has 30+ years of history. Just being like I am, I always wonder "what was happening in this spot, say 20 years ago?" lol Anonymoose84: What do you think Ael? EnigmaSphinx42: About what? vampdocette: hehe, interesting Scoopy Anonymoose84: About living in a Murder House. EnigmaSphinx42: Well I certainly wouldn't do it PoolScoop: I wish you could get historical reports on that like you can with a used car, lol. vampdocette: lol Anonymoose84: Yeah... PoolScoop: "In 1979, 3 kids shared a bunk bed in Spot's future room" LOL vampdocette: *snork* Anonymoose84: LOL I wonder who had to share! PoolScoop: Funny enough, I was just telling Moosey that since it was being built in 69 (what people have said at least), if I went 30 years into the past in 99, I'd have seen it like Marty saw Lyon Estates, hehe vampdocette: lol, interesting EnigmaSphinx42: Heh EnigmaSphinx42: Big field o' grassiness? ;-) vampdocette: :-P Anonymoose84: Spooooky! PoolScoop: I haven't lived in it my whole life, but still a cool thing to think about, heh PoolScoop: Yeah, I think it was an orchard actually EnigmaSphinx42: I haven't lived in my house my whole life either EnigmaSphinx42: Moved here when I was five Anonymoose84: I haven't either I've lived in four or five different houses. vampdocette: I've moved a lot too PoolScoop: I've lived all over northern California -- the Bay Area and Sacramento, this is my 10th I think.... vampdocette: Once to Missouri Anonymoose84: Hey where is Kansas City? vampdocette: There's two, actually PoolScoop: It's funny cause when I was a kid I thought people we knew were "weird for staying inthe same house 10 years" etc. But we were weird for moving all the time, hehe EnigmaSphinx42: ..........I hope you're joking EnigmaSphinx42: Actually there aren't two vampdocette: No? EnigmaSphinx42: It's on the border vampdocette: Ahhh, okay Anonymoose84: 'Cause yesterday they said it was in Kansas City MO...what MO stand for> EnigmaSphinx42: So each side has different laws but it's the same city vampdocette: Okay, cool vampdocette: Didn' Anonymoose84: A crime show I was watching that is... vampdocette: Didn't know that EnigmaSphinx42: MO....damn I don't know EnigmaSphinx42: First instinct says Missouri EnigmaSphinx42: Second instinct says "Don't be a dumbass" vampdocette: yeah, I think so too vampdocette: lol Anonymoose84: It probably is State names can be weirdass in the US... vampdocette: hehe EnigmaSphinx42: I live in Meeechigan vampdocette: Rhode Islander her vampdocette: here Anonymoose84: I live in New South Wales :-) PoolScoop: We're all over then. I'm a rare west coast backie vampdocette: hehe, I see vampdocette: lucky Anonymoose84: Yeah! All the stuff is there! You can visit the HOUSE! EnigmaSphinx42: ........why did the furnace just turn on, blow COLD air, and then turn off after thirty seconds? PoolScoop: It's a good thing I didn't know "Hill Valley" was only about 70 miles from Sacramento when we lived there for 6 years... vampdocette: O.O vampdocette: hehe Anonymoose84: Awww...why I'd be so disappointed! PoolScoop: I'd have always wanted to go check out 'the roads Marty might've been on' hehe. EnigmaSphinx42: I want a map showing where Hill Valley is supposedly located vampdocette: me too EnigmaSphinx42: That would be so much easier for fic research Anonymoose84: I had one..it's 12 miles from Grass Valley. EnigmaSphinx42: I know it's approximately 12 miles east of Grass Valley but I don't know where that is either vampdocette: *nodnod* vampdocette: lol PoolScoop: Yeah. I put it in Nevada City, which is about 5 miles away actually... vampdocette: Hmmm Anonymoose84: I have a map with it on it...it's near a place called Nervada City. 70 or 90 miles from Sacramento. PoolScoop: that actully kinda works with what would be 8 and 395 -- even though they made those numbers up EnigmaSphinx42: NERVADA? vampdocette: hehe vampdocette: :-P Anonymoose84: However you spell it...Also in California is Virigina City where Martin I got that knife in his gut... Anonymoose84: Virginia sorry/ PoolScoop: Close enough, heh. EnigmaSphinx42: ...and here I thought Virginia City was in Virginia vampdocette: Ouchies PoolScoop: LOL theoretically that makes sesne Anonymoose84: I thought it was in Viriginia and was like what the Hell were they doing there? vampdocette: I know, why name cities after different states?! PoolScoop: It's like "driving on a parkway, parking in a driveway" LOL. vampdocette: lol, yes EnigmaSphinx42: And your house can burn up while it's burning down EnigmaSphinx42: And you fill in a form by filling it out Anonymoose84: California City is in California though...but oddly enough none of these places are actually cities! PoolScoop: yeah, they're small towns. Maybe when they were built, they thought they would be cities someday vampdocette: hehehe, yeah Anonymoose84: Indeed! vampdocette: That's odd vampdocette: Well, they say think big PoolScoop: ^ Oh, there's a West Virginia but no East, lol vampdocette: :-P Anonymoose84: Yeah what's with that? PoolScoop: I always thought it was funny how the Bay Area is considered northern California when it's right inthe middle... PoolScoop: and "Central Cal" is central/south, LOL Anonymoose84: It's all very strange! EnigmaSphinx42: I find it funny how Michigan and its neighboring states are the midwest when we're mideast Anonymoose84: Depends where they draw the line of Middle America I guess... PoolScoop: Hehe, when I was younger I thought 'midwest' was like Oregon. Middle of the west, LOL EnigmaSphinx42: lol EnigmaSphinx42: Yes, Michigan is in Oregon now! Anonymoose84: I thought the Midwest was the Old West at first...where the cowboys roam! vampdocette: LOL, :-D EnigmaSphinx42: lol PoolScoop: I guess a more fitting name would be 'Western middle' but that's not very catchy, hehe EnigmaSphinx42: Yeehaw vampdocette: Geography is so confusing here Anonymoose84: LOL that sounds awkard as Hell... EnigmaSphinx42: I've been to Hell twice~ vampdocette: hehehe EnigmaSphinx42: Smalllll town vampdocette: lol EnigmaSphinx42: I wanna live there PoolScoop: Someone could say "go to Hell" and not as an insult! Anonymoose84: I can't believe there's actually a town called that! What where they thinking? vampdocette: *snrrrk* EnigmaSphinx42: "So where do you live?" "Hell." "No really, where do you live?" vampdocette: There's also a town called Paradise, right? EnigmaSphinx42: Yep PoolScoop: I think so, I've heard of it Anonymoose84: Bart would be happy "I live in Hell, so I have to say HELL to go there..." vampdocette: So it all balances out :-P PoolScoop: Hehe PoolScoop: I still find things like that funny, lol Anonymoose84: I wanna go to Moose Factory in Canada! EnigmaSphinx42: "You're going to HELL!" "Well duh, I live there." "......uh?" Anonymoose84: I can get the Mooses to join me in an uprising! Come my pretties! vampdocette: hehehehehe EnigmaSphinx42: Oooh, I've seen moose, they're not necessarily nice beasties Anonymoose84: They also use their urine for less then conventional purposes... vampdocette: O.O EnigmaSphinx42: Stupid tourists ignore the "stay 25 yards away from wildlife and 100 yards if it's a bear" rule and go RIGHT UP TO THE DAMN MOOSE to take pictures Anonymoose84: Awww poor Moose! PoolScoop: Hey, it's funny, I'm just listening to "Never Surrender" from Corey Hart now and I remembered, he was once considered the role of Marty. No joke, lol PoolScoop: ^ yeah EnigmaSphinx42: And then there were probably fifty stupid tourists who stood on the side of the road and watched a mother black bear put her cubs up a tree and then come charging at them from like forty yards away and just stood there like morons EnigmaSphinx42: I actually saw this as we were leaving Yellowstone EnigmaSphinx42: >.< Anonymoose84: Weirdos out there... EnigmaSphinx42: Wanna know something worse? Anonymoose84: Yeah? vampdocette: Yipes, I dunno PoolScoop: sorry I'm in two IMs, lol. I missed that. Was this tourists doing that on purpose? EnigmaSphinx42: About a month before we went there, some moron tourist went off the boardwalks (very no-no in Yellowstone because of unstable ground and possible hot springs that can boil you alive that you can fall into) to get a buffalo to raise EnigmaSphinx42: ^its head so he could take a pic vampdocette: O.o Christ on a Cracker EnigmaSphinx42: And it did. Right into his GROIN vampdocette: LOL PoolScoop: Yeah. It's not that important is it? lol Anonymoose84: LOL what the hell is that phrase you used Vic! PoolScoop: ^ heheh vampdocette: I heard it on LJ vampdocette: well, read it on LJ Anonymoose84: Jesus from Heaven: "Oh they're putting me on crackers now?" EnigmaSphinx42: lol vampdocette: hehehehehehe EnigmaSphinx42: Better than a pogo stick PoolScoop: Haha vampdocette: lol, yeah Anonymoose84: Oh no! He's on Pogo sticks too? PoolScoop: Wait, why a pogo stick in particular? hehe vampdocette: Hmm, dunno PoolScoop: Sounded funny in context though. Anonymoose84: Yay! Spotty's posted the last bit of his comic! vampdocette: hehe, yeah vampdocette: Spotty? I think you mean Shandy? EnigmaSphinx42: Yeah, was gonna say that too PoolScoop: Hehe, similar guy ;-) vampdocette: lol :-D Anonymoose84: Sorry! Yeah! I love the 'Power of Fire' song! EnigmaSphinx42: Yeah me too EnigmaSphinx42: XD vampdocette: hehehehehehe PoolScoop: Who does that? or is it an instrumental? vampdocette: *blinkblink* EnigmaSphinx42: ............... vampdocette: Dave sings it Anonymoose84: It's at the end of the comic! Dave sings it! vampdocette: In the comic PoolScoop: Oh yeah, I wasn't thinking, hehe. I did read the comic though, I always enjoy his work PoolScoop: Esp if it's in the TP timeline vampdocette: lol, yeah Anonymoose84: With Nerdy George :-) vampdocette: :-P Anonymoose84: Original George: Ah ha ha ha ha ha! PoolScoop: Yeah, he's unintentionally funny EnigmaSphinx42: Here's another prime example of human stupidity, posted by yours truly: http://www.livejournal.com/community/mock_...id/1640446.html vampdocette: *headdesk* EnigmaSphinx42: Yeah, I almost literally headdesked in the middle of class vampdocette: I don't blame ya PoolScoop: That sounds like the kinda thing people on the street say when Jay Leno asks random questions, LOL vampdocette: hehehe Anonymoose84: LOL I love random questions in the street. There was an Aussie show where they did that. vampdocette: Interesting PoolScoop: I think actually alot of people misanswer 'cause they're so nervous about being on TV. Still funny though Anonymoose84: And there was always some old guy who went off into a complete tangent. vampdocette: hehehe PoolScoop: What'd he say? or was it all nonsensical Anonymoose84: They were asking 'Who's the Worst Dressed Celebrity' and this guy went on about how Australia has too many politicians because of the mafias stranglehold or something... PoolScoop: LOL vampdocette: lol, I see Anonymoose84: And he was wearing shorts with long socks and sandles! EnigmaSphinx42: Hey, my little brother does that vampdocette: lol Anonymoose84: LMAO! Oh no! Not that! PoolScoop: I do it too, hehe. I'm teased (in a friendly way) for pulling them way up, hehe PoolScoop: not the sandles though, necesarilly! Anonymoose84: Socks with sandles though? vampdocette: *shrug* EnigmaSphinx42: And here I thought it was spelled "sandal" vampdocette: Let's just call them "flip-flops" Anonymoose84: Dunno, can't spell today. Damn Bob-The Typo Man! PoolScoop: Hehe. Anonymoose84: I hate flip flops! They drag along the ground and it makes my throat hurt... vampdocette: o.O EnigmaSphinx42: *....stares at that sentence* vampdocette: Why would that make your throat hurt? Anonymoose84: Like some sort of weird reaction... vampdocette: Hmmm vampdocette: *updates LJ* EnigmaSphinx42: At least they don't call flip-flops "thongs" anymore ;-) Anonymoose84: Something about the scrapping makes me feel like I'm gonna gag... Anonymoose84: Oh but they're thongs here :-) vampdocette: LOL EnigmaSphinx42: Hey, whaddya know, it IS a full moon Anonymoose84: You Americans and your weird name for underpants@ EnigmaSphinx42: If Weatherbug is to be trusted vampdocette: :-D PoolScoop: Hmm, I wonder if it is here too. vampdocette: I saw it, on the way out, it's full Anonymoose84: LOL Weatherbug sounds really cute! vampdocette: :-P EnigmaSphinx42: "'Marty work' dates", Vic? PoolScoop: I always think of Ernest Scared Stupid when I hear of a full moon. That or "Thriller" hehe vampdocette: Just when he starts going into his careers (according to the different universes) vampdocette: hehe Anonymoose84: Hey should we be insulted that Paul put bored as his mood when he'd just been talking to us! ;P EnigmaSphinx42: Ah, okay vampdocette: yeah EnigmaSphinx42: lol PoolScoop: LOL maybe it was a joke. Or he didn't realize. I've done that by accident vampdocette: hehe Anonymoose84: :P Anonymoose84: I've put crappy on my journal though so I'm one to talk :-) vampdocette: lol PoolScoop: Hehe, I rarely do that. Hell that's one reason I don't update that often, I guess I don't like to rant, LOL! PoolScoop: Well, in private entries at least vampdocette: lol, yeah Anonymoose84: I'm always ranting! :P PoolScoop: About just day to day stuff? I sometimes forget whose entries I've read EnigmaSphinx42: I need more stuff to rant about ;-) Anonymoose84: Yeah right now I'm ranting about my Uni classes issue and my worries regarding long car trips... vampdocette: lol, yeah vampdocette: My muses rant for me PoolScoop: Me too PoolScoop: ^ I love long car trips. WHere were you planning to go? jw EnigmaSphinx42: Mine do too...unless I sedate them with boxes and bubbles and whatnot ;-) vampdocette: hehehe, yeah Anonymoose84: To a family wedding it's a 6 hour drive, but I haven't gone on a long cartrip in AGES! I don't like been trapped in the car. PoolScoop: Yeah I do know that feeling. Being crunched in and feeling like Old Biff times 10 when you get out, LOL Anonymoose84: Also what a bathroom breaks I ask you! PoolScoop: Yeah vampdocette: hehehe, yeah Anonymoose84: My mother is picky about the bathroom breaks... vampdocette: Driving to and from Florida was -- honestly -- pretty brutal PoolScoop: As long as (a) I like who's in the car with me and (B) I've got something to do, I'm usually happy.:-) Anonymoose84: Indeed, but all that drinking get led to the bathroom breaks! :D PoolScoop: ^ Yeah. Funny in '86 we bought a Corvette on one of our family trips down there and drove it back to Calif. I was about 4 so I could still fit in the hatchback, hehe PoolScoop: It was fun but tiring. Took 6 days I think EnigmaSphinx42: SIX days? vampdocette: O.o I see, yipes EnigmaSphinx42: Must not've traveled from dawn until after dusk then PoolScoop: About. 3000 miles. We made alot of stops too vampdocette: ahh, I see EnigmaSphinx42: That'd do it Anonymoose84: Son of a-! The longest time I've it's taken me in a car is two days... Anonymoose84: Well not all at once of course. EnigmaSphinx42: My family went from Michigan to Montana in about two days and a half vampdocette: hehehe, yeah vampdocette: ahh PoolScoop: Oddly I remember more about the car ride itself than the trip, hehe vampdocette: Florida is about two, two and a half days EnigmaSphinx42: Barely any stops, drove at dawn and until way after dusk vampdocette: yipes EnigmaSphinx42: Of course, that was because it was summer and it was friggin' hot out PoolScoop: Like going up these big rolling hills in the Texas/Arkansas/Georgia area Anonymoose84: I always have bad memories due to an unfortunate Hungry Jacks incident...those burgers don't agree with me... EnigmaSphinx42: I wish our old travel log hadn't been erased, that was great PoolScoop: and the only radio stations that came in were country, talk radio or spanish speaking, LOL vampdocette: Ahh, I see vampdocette: awww, yeah EnigmaSphinx42: Of course, I had to go and stuff up the whole trip by spraining my ankle too badly to walk without crutches and/or wheelchair for a week *facepalm* vampdocette: ouchies Anonymoose84: Oh yeah on our trips my parents listen to the Cricket...kill me now people... PoolScoop: ^ Yeah. I have a million things like that I would use a time machine for if I could vampdocette: lol PoolScoop: the cricket? Anonymoose84: Yeah our National Sport...SOOOO boring! PoolScoop: We actually listened to tapes most of the way back. I remember silly things like that, heh PoolScoop: Whenever I hear "Down Under" from Men at Work I think of that trip. Well and Shandy now, hehe Anonymoose84: And MEEEE! The Anonymoose_au! PoolScoop: oh yeah, of course. :-) vampdocette: hehehe, I see vampdocette: :-D Anonymoose84: I'm reading a post of yours Spotty on the BTTF forum...your Avatar seems to have disappeared! PoolScoop: Is cricket like Golf in a way? EnigmaSphinx42: Cricket's more like baseball PoolScoop: ^ I think I just forgot to turn it on, LOL EnigmaSphinx42: Baseball on crack vampdocette: hehehe Anonymoose84: You don't know what Cricket is Spotty! I envey you! PoolScoop: I don't post there that much anymore. all the family has migrated onto AIM or LJ, plus I don't have as much time as 2 years ago anyway PoolScoop: LOL Anonymoose84: Aww cute the Family! I thought you were talking about your family for a minute there... PoolScoop: I still might do 3-5 posts a week PoolScoop: hehe, the "online" family vampdocette: ahhh, yeah PoolScoop: I mean, it's just that now, I almost worry I've ran out of BTTF things to say. Anonymoose84: Cool George: Do people REALLY think I think my wife cheated on me, just 'cause our son is called Marty? You don't think she'd be a bit more subtle if that was the case...*on seeing another Will they remember Marty thread. PoolScoop: I always see that kind of thought PoolScoop: That and the "why don't they recognize Marty" I kinda tend to bypass now, hehe vampdocette: O.o yeah Anonymoose84: But you did that Vic :P vampdocette: hehe, yeah EnigmaSphinx42: And I tend to completely ignore the "OMG DeLorean in the mine!!!1" topics vampdocette: lol, I know PoolScoop: I've always brought up the point that George DOES remember him if he says "If you put your mind to it". Anonymoose84: LMAO! I like the 1 at the end of that... vampdocette: hehehe EnigmaSphinx42: SEARCH FUNCTION, people PoolScoop: Calvin told him that, it all makes sense EnigmaSphinx42: Argh the brain it hurts PoolScoop: ^ Hehe, I know vampdocette: yesum yesumj Anonymoose84: I don't think it works... PoolScoop: Chris isn't around to do it anymore as much, LOL vampdocette: hehehehe Anonymoose84: The Search Button that is... EnigmaSphinx42: Well I doubt it matters much when there's five of the same topic on the page vampdocette: yeah PoolScoop: True Anonymoose84: Too bad we lost our sticky topics :-) PoolScoop: That and there's only about 5 regular posters there now, LOL vampdocette: yeah, true, hehe PoolScoop: a guy named Mr XL whom I don't know PoolScoop: At times I've almost thought we should start over with a fresh new board, but it'd be a shame to lose all those posts vampdocette: awww Anonymoose84: Indeed! I like looking at old threads... vampdocette: yeah PoolScoop: Yeah. Me & Shandy bump them sometimes too, especially after new people joined, etc. vampdocette: :-) PoolScoop: Well he bumped them as a joke, hehe. I don't always do that Anonymoose84: LOL Ael I like how you respond to a post with a question regarding word meanings :-) vampdocette: :-P PoolScoop: Hehe, what's an example? I'm hardly on anymore EnigmaSphinx42: Which one doest thou refer to? Anonymoose84: 'Something that's inflicted me for years' EnigmaSphinx42: lol Yeah vampdocette: LoL, that's what I thought you were talking about EnigmaSphinx42: That word makes NO SENSE in the context of the post! vampdocette: hehe, yeah EnigmaSphinx42: How the hell does it INFLICT a person? Anonymoose84: Yeah unless BTTF Questions are a disease now! PoolScoop: Yeah. Maybe they were trying to sound more 'intellectual' PoolScoop: hehe vampdocette: hehe, probably EnigmaSphinx42: Well it backfired completely ;-) EnigmaSphinx42: Made them look more dumb vampdocette: *nodnod* Anonymoose84: As Lisa said "It's better to remain mute and be thought of as a fool, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt." vampdocette: yup PoolScoop: Good point PoolScoop: I like me & Shandy's "echoes" threads and all that.... vampdocette: :-D PoolScoop: yet on the other hand, the informal stuff in T&P is nice too. Anonymoose84: And Homer's answer of course! "What does that mean? Better say something or they'll think you're stupid..." vampdocette: lol PoolScoop: Hehe - or Kent Brockman before he tried to film something. "Cameras aren't allowed in the courtroom, so we will have to be very quiet". *door shuts on him* LOL Anonymoose84: "Do'h!" PoolScoop: DOn't ask why I remembered that now vampdocette: *has sorted her crossover bios into two categories -- one for her X-Duology and one for her OckDocumentary* Anonymoose84: It's Ok, I've always got "And guess who's been practicing medicine without a licence' in my head... vampdocette: :-P Anonymoose84: Probably cause I'm always trying to self-diagnose! vampdocette: aha Anonymoose84: Turns out it was Homer practicing medicine illegal LOL! PoolScoop: LOL. How long do you think that'll run for? I read an article in 1997 or so that made it sound like it might go on another 2 years at most. They outdid that, hehe PoolScoop: ^ LOL vampdocette: ahh, I see PoolScoop: It's not as good as it used to be, but I'd say it's got another 3 years in it vampdocette: ahhh Anonymoose84: "They'll never stop the Simpsons...we've got ideas for years and years and years" ;-) vampdocette: :-D PoolScoop: Hehe I hope so actually. PoolScoop: That's the longest running 'sitcom' I think vampdocette: wow Anonymoose84: But after that they have a little jokey piece where Homer says "This'll be our last season..." vampdocette: ahhh PoolScoop: I remember that I think PoolScoop: brb - gotta get a snack. vampdocette: ok

Continued from Part I above.
Anonymoose84: Soooo what are you dudes up to on the merry ol' internet? :-) EnigmaSphinx42: Looking at Darwin Awards and contemplating sleep vampdocette: looking at communites that come up when you search octavius and stuff like that EnigmaSphinx42: Some drunk idiot chopped off his own head with a chainsaw EnigmaSphinx42: On PURPOSE vampdocette: O.O I think I remember that Anonymoose84: WHAT? He'd be dead! EnigmaSphinx42: He IS dead! vampdocette: hehe EnigmaSphinx42: Darwin Awards are for people who kill themselves through stupidity vampdocette: That's why he's nominated for a Darwin Anonymoose84: OWWW that's would be so painful! vampdocette: yeah EnigmaSphinx42: Nah, it'd be pretty painless EnigmaSphinx42: You'd be dead almost instantly vampdocette: yeah EnigmaSphinx42: His last words were "Hey guys, watch this!" Anonymoose84: But wouldn't he have to cut his whole head off? Surely it would hurt as he cuts through the skin... EnigmaSphinx42: *facepalm* vampdocette: Famous last words EnigmaSphinx42: .....CHAINSAW, Moose vampdocette: The do their work fast EnigmaSphinx42: All he'd have to do is swing the thing in his neck's general direction vampdocette: nodnod Anonymoose84: I see....dear me...why didn't his friends stop him? EnigmaSphinx42: Because they were drunk too EnigmaSphinx42: Also the other guy had just cut off his own foot vampdocette: O.O EnigmaSphinx42: On purpose PoolScoop: LOL what'd I miss here? Anonymoose84: Owww! vampdocette: Darwin Award people Anonymoose84: What a terrible party! vampdocette: yeah PoolScoop: I've heard of that - funny in a slightly disturbing way! vampdocette: yeah Anonymoose84: I cough... EnigmaSphinx42: ...okay, Darwin Awards are not specifically for killing yourself through stupidity, but by removing yourself from the gene pool through stupidity vampdocette: Yeah vampdocette: There's a very rare breed that just manages to sterilize themselves, but live EnigmaSphinx42: Like this one guy climbed a power tower and burned his genitals off PoolScoop: Reminds me of 'America's Dumbest Criminals' vampdocette: Yeowch PoolScoop: ^ LOL, sorry I shouldn't laugh vampdocette: lol, I have that book series Anonymoose84: Owww! Anonymoose84: That has to hurt bad! vampdocette: Oooh yeah PoolScoop: I hope he didn't feel it for long! EnigmaSphinx42: Oooh, he felt it all right vampdocette: hehehehe EnigmaSphinx42: He lived, dammit PoolScoop: I guess this wasn't a death. Anonymoose84: My favourite criminals were these Japanese guys who robbed a bank of millions and a few days later sent the bank a 'Thank You' note! PoolScoop: ^ n/m LOL EnigmaSphinx42: At least he can't reproduce PoolScoop: Hehe vampdocette: O.o vampdocette: lol PoolScoop: ^ Probably not. Good point Anonymoose84: The Japanese people are so polite! vampdocette: Not always Anonymoose84: Well obviously in general I meant :-) vampdocette: Another Japanese man robbed his own bank, and got frustrated at his female trainee, and corrected her EnigmaSphinx42: lol vampdocette: :-D Anonymoose84: LOL "You put it IN the bag quickly! You don't count it out!" vampdocette: Needless to say, he got his PoolScoop: Hehe, I hope so vampdocette: Another guy, after robbing a bar, decided that to avoid identification, he'd strip naked Anonymoose84: Awww no! EnigmaSphinx42: *snrrk* PoolScoop: Good way to get arrested anyway, hehe Anonymoose84: Did he have a distinctive birth mark or something? vampdocette: And went back into the bar saying "Hey, I just got robbed too!" vampdocette: lol, no, they just figured out it was him PoolScoop: I guess his face would still be the same, heh vampdocette: :-D Anonymoose84: LOL maybe he was hoping they'd be distracted by something else! vampdocette: hehehehe PoolScoop: Hahaha vampdocette: There's various mask-related mishaps -- forgetting eyeholes, cutting the eyeholes in the wrong place, using a clear plastic bag as a mask PoolScoop: I have a permanent 12 year old's sense of humor, so i'll always get a kick out of stuff like that! Anonymoose84: I remember that last one! vampdocette: :-D yay PoolScoop: ^ heh a plastic bag? vampdocette: yeah, I think so Anonymoose84: That's a good way to get yourself killed... vampdocette: yeah PoolScoop: I was gonna say. Anonymoose84: Hey where's Ael, is she not mocking the stupid with us ;-) EnigmaSphinx42: Still reading Darwins :-P vampdocette: hehehe PoolScoop: I've seen stuff like that on 'World's wildest police videos' too. vampdocette: hehe, yeah EnigmaSphinx42: This one guy tried to swallow a live, BITING fish and it latched onto his throat from the inside EnigmaSphinx42: He suffocated to death vampdocette: O.o PoolScoop: They used to just to police chases (which I like) but it's more like a reality show now, lol vampdocette: lol, I see PoolScoop: ^ ouch.>:o Anonymoose84: Any dumb women candidates? EnigmaSphinx42: One woman was cleaning her shoes with gasoline, they ignited, and she burned to death vampdocette: Actually, women are highly underrepresented in the Darwins Anonymoose84: What the Hell? vampdocette: O.o Oo-kay Anonymoose84: Probably because we're smarter! (Sorry Spotty ;-) ) PoolScoop: Heh, even though I *am* a guy, I'll admit there's some dumb guys out there! LOL PoolScoop: ^ didn't see you posted that first, hehe vampdocette: Either that, or better at hiding the mistakes of our dumber brethren :-P PoolScoop: lol Anonymoose84: Indeed just like women murderers! vampdocette: *nodnod* EnigmaSphinx42: .......oh, now that's just moronic vampdocette: what now? EnigmaSphinx42: Six foot tall guy. Four foot deep pool. Headfirst dive off the roof into said pool. PoolScoop: It's more now than it used to be, I think, but it's still rare in comparison Anonymoose84: Oh no! Owww! vampdocette: *headdesk* PoolScoop: These guys make Beavis & Butthead look like geniuses, hehe vampdocette: I know, really PoolScoop: at least they figured out how to do Ding dong Ditch! vampdocette: ahhh PoolScoop: I wonder if it's just a momentary 'not thinking' instance Anonymoose84: I watch the Crime and Investigation Network a lot and it's always odd to see how women murderers are treated differently.. vampdocette: Hmmm vampdocette: ah PoolScoop: or if these people had a history of doing dumb things Anonymoose84: ...like they'll do something awful and they'll wonder who drove her to it. Yet when it comes to men, they just think they're sick bastards. vampdocette: Sound sexist Anonymoose84: I agree...they're ALL sick SOBs :P vampdocette: yeah PoolScoop: For sure PoolScoop: Hell I don't hardly have it in me to get in a fight, let alone serial kill. I'm sure most people don't either. vampdocette: yeah, really Anonymoose84: Yeah...most people are like Original George."I'm not very good at con-FRON-tations..." vampdocette: aww PoolScoop: Hehe, me neither PoolScoop: I would only get in one if I had to probably. Luckily that hasn't happened yet... vampdocette: yeah, good thing Anonymoose84: Yeah I'd run away probably. PoolScoop: which is nice 'cause I can still say, "But I've never picked a fight in my entire life" and mean it, lol vampdocette: :-D EnigmaSphinx42: Ah, if only I could say the same vampdocette: ahh PoolScoop: Most people have probably been in a few Anonymoose84: Have you picked a fight Ael?I've fought my brothers though... EnigmaSphinx42: I used to fight anyone and everyone on the playground as a kid ;-) vampdocette: hehehe Anonymoose84: I can't imagine it! Did you get into lots of trouble? vampdocette: I've never been in a fight -- was accused of punching a girl in the face, but didn't do it EnigmaSphinx42: I fought dirty too, most of my opponents were boys and I knew how to hit 'em where it counted EnigmaSphinx42: Yeah, I got in trouble all the time vampdocette: Oooo PoolScoop: That sucks--how'd that happen? Anonymoose84: Ooo not the nuts! EnigmaSphinx42: They finally drilled the habit out of me ^_^;;; PoolScoop: ^ lol vampdocette: hehe Anonymoose84: I kneed my brother in the nuts for NO reason at all...shame on me! EnigmaSphinx42: Thouhg I still have a tendancy to want to smack stupid people over the head with something heavy PoolScoop: Did the boys deserve it at all? jw vampdocette: yeah, hehe EnigmaSphinx42: Yeah, sometimes ;-) PoolScoop: That's semi excusable then! :-) EnigmaSphinx42: Although in second grade I learned how to use "cooties" to my advantage ;-) vampdocette: Ooooo, hehehe EnigmaSphinx42: Boys won't leave me alone, I pretend to try to kiss them and they flee, screaming in terror vampdocette: :-P PoolScoop: Funny enough even when I was little, I never thought girls had cooties, LOL vampdocette: wow EnigmaSphinx42: Well I'm not sure whether it was cooties or just kissing they were afraid of ;-) Anonymoose84: Boys and girls a like used to tease me, so I'd just go off and hide...poor Moose... PoolScoop: Hell I always liked 'em, (I was just afraid of em). Wait I still am, hehe vampdocette: hehehehe PoolScoop: ^ heh vampdocette: awww, poor moosie PoolScoop: Why'd they tease you? vampdocette: Back in elementary school, my classmates pretended that I had "Vicky germs" Anonymoose84: They teased me because I was strange I'd like to make up stories in my head and I had weird hair.... PoolScoop: I knew kids who said stuff like that. Always seemed silly to me vampdocette: awww, yeah vampdocette: *hugs Moosie* PoolScoop: That's sometimes why I felt I was born too late. This past few generations is like that PoolScoop: ^ me too* vampdocette: Ahh, yeah Anonymoose84: I wonder though if everyone gets teased, it seems like it...even my ever popular big bro got teased in one of his schools! PoolScoop: I guess boys always fought, no matter what era, but kids teasing each other is way worse than 50 years ago from what I hear vampdocette: Wow, I see vampdocette: yeah Anonymoose84: Yeah but life 50 years ago was a lot harder! No TV :o At least not in Aus... PoolScoop: I think alot of people who do the teasing aren't so bad on their own, it's the group thing that turns kids into assholes sometimes vampdocette: *nodnod* EnigmaSphinx42: lol I'm just picturing Marty saying that XD EnigmaSphinx42: "No TV!" vampdocette: hehehe PoolScoop: ^ I couldn't live without a TV, lol Anonymoose84: Or the ever precious internet! Or the Sims 2! vampdocette: hehehe, yeah PoolScoop: if I don't have Internet access for more than 3 days, I'm going crazy, heh vampdocette: Need my computer *hugs it* Anonymoose84: I love it when Homer says "Ah, they have the internet on computers now..."I almost went insane when LJ was down for just one day.... PoolScoop: Hehe, I love reading other people's. vampdocette: hehehehe PoolScoop: I don't write on paper as much as before because of the comp. Anonymoose84: So do I, but whenever I try and do the random search thing I always get some weirdoes...who don't use captail letters... vampdocette: Ahhh, yeah vampdocette: O.o Anonymoose84: capital... PoolScoop: Hehe Anonymoose84: I was gonna say correct spelling, but if I had I would have made an ass of myself ;-) vampdocette: hehehe PoolScoop: Yeah, I bite my tongue alot too vampdocette: lol PoolScoop: I've seen some terrible spelling online before vampdocette: I know, argh Anonymoose84: I just hate it when they don't use capitals! I can't see the end of the sentences and hurts my poor brain... vampdocette: yeah, I know PoolScoop: I mean I let it slide a little in chatrooms like this cause it's 'live' but it's actually harder for me NOT to type normally PoolScoop: I just do it out of habit vampdocette: hehehe, I know Anonymoose84: Yeah so do I... PoolScoop: Maybe some people are just in a hurry or haven't typed that long... vampdocette: hmmm, yeah Anonymoose84: Maybe... PoolScoop: I remember I learned how to type at maybe 6 or 7. Of course I mostly just did audio tape covers, hehe but better than nothing. vampdocette: lol vampdocette: I learned to type in school, 6th-7th grade Anonymoose84: Wow! I only learnt to type at 12 and I was the only one in my calss who bothered to learn properly. A fact that came and bit the other kids on the ass later on. PoolScoop: Yeah. you don't have to be fast necesarilly. I still look at the keys from time to time vampdocette: hehehe, me too PoolScoop: although way less than before... EnigmaSphinx42: I almost always look at the keys, but I can type faster than most people I know vampdocette: coolness EnigmaSphinx42: I can type without looking if I have to, like if it's in the dark or something Anonymoose84: I can generally get by without looking...I da MAN!I'm also dizzy...what a pain in the ass.... EnigmaSphinx42: Which is funny because I don't do the fingers-on-certain-keys..touch-typing? Whatever it's called vampdocette: O.o wow vampdocette: touch-typing, yeah EnigmaSphinx42: I just use the first two fingers and thumb on both hands to type EnigmaSphinx42: And I can do that without looking, without typos, on a good day ;-) vampdocette: hehehe, coolness Anonymoose84: Wow! And you type fast? My mother does that too, takes her AAAAGES too. PoolScoop: I remember we did a computer kinda class in 7th grade and one of the things was we were supposed to not look at the keys... vampdocette: Ahhh, yeah, I had that too EnigmaSphinx42: They taught us that too Anonymoose84: "For every key you look at...I will KILL you..." ;-) vampdocette: hehehehe EnigmaSphinx42: Required class in high school PoolScoop: at the time I thought, "That's harder than walking a tightrope and not looking down" lol vampdocette: lol PoolScoop: hehe EnigmaSphinx42: Told us it was our final exam, they'd cover the keys and make us type vampdocette: O.o EnigmaSphinx42: Guess what, they NEVER DID vampdocette: hehehehehe PoolScoop: Just a look every 5-10 seconds is all I need now PoolScoop: ^ That works EnigmaSphinx42: So I typed slower than I'm supposed to for the entire trimester vampdocette: *nodnod* hehe PoolScoop: I knew that once I memorized (and made a word out of) the top row "Qwertyuiop" I was progressing, hehe. vampdocette: *snork* Anonymoose84: I love Qwerty! vampdocette: hehehe PoolScoop: I thought that was a verb. You could qwerty someone (you) up, haha EnigmaSphinx42: "Qwerty, this isn't a verse, it's a recipie for meatloaf!" vampdocette: :-P PoolScoop: I wonder if the keys were placed as they are for a reason, or was it random? Anonymoose84: Yikes I have to fold up my couchbed before I leave my apartment...I worry due to the schmoozle that occured when I had to UNFOLD it! vampdocette: Ahhh, yipes EnigmaSphinx42: There's a reason, yeah EnigmaSphinx42: Supposedly they're arranged according to the amount of use in everyday language they get Anonymoose84: It's not random, at first keys were in alphabetical order but it was found that the vowels were used more ofthen. vampdocette: I heard it was to slow down too-fast typists in demonstrations PoolScoop: I used to sleep on one of those for a few years. I liked it 'caues it actually saved room and was easy to get off of. PoolScoop: Less comfortable though vampdocette: So the put the most-used letters under the weakest fingers PoolScoop: ^ yeah vampdocette: hehe, Hmmm Anonymoose84: Yeah that too...but there's no way I could use and ABC keyboard now! PoolScoop: well, I'm right handed, so I actually use that maybe 60% and reach over a little. vampdocette: hehehe PoolScoop: LOL I can't imagine that vampdocette: :-D EnigmaSphinx42: Hell, aren't we all righties here? vampdocette: I'm a righty PoolScoop: Yeah me too Anonymoose84: I'm ambidexterious...I used to write with my right hand (badly) so I swapped and I still write badly... vampdocette: Ahhh, cool PoolScoop: about 12 years ago I fractured my right arm and was in a cast for a few weeks so I kinda had to learn to do dominant stuff with the other hand. vampdocette: interesting Anonymoose84: How'd it go for you? PoolScoop: It was still hard, but I was getting semi used to it vampdocette: ahhh Anonymoose84: I did most things with my left hand anyway so it wasn't that much of a change. PoolScoop: I do remember joking with the doctor saying I wish it could've been my other hand, LOL! vampdocette: hehehehe Anonymoose84: I broke my left arm when I was still right handed...it still sucked though.. PoolScoop: He said, "Ahh, don't you wish it was neither hand, kid?" and I was like 'Oh, maybe that would've been better' LOL vampdocette: yipes vampdocette: hehe Anonymoose84: LMAO! Never thought of that either! vampdocette: *feels grateful she's never broken anything* EnigmaSphinx42: Heheheh PoolScoop: I've been extremely careful since then too vampdocette: :-D EnigmaSphinx42: I got my first broken bone last CHRISTMAS, go me vampdocette: hehe, yeah vampdocette: At least it was just a broken toe PoolScoop: I do worry though since I'm semi clumsy with stairs. I've had alot of near misses there, heh EnigmaSphinx42: Yeah, but it shouldn't have been a broken ANYTHING Anonymoose84: Those take AGES to heal though... vampdocette: yeah, true vampdocette: blah Anonymoose84: Preparing to fold up the couch... PoolScoop: It depends on how badly it's broken--but no breaking is good. Mine was only a hairline fracture and even that was something you couldn't pay me to relive! vampdocette: yeah, ouchie vampdocette: Good luck Moose Anonymoose84: If I'm not back in ten minutes...send help! vampdocette: hehe PoolScoop: Okay, heh PoolScoop: Reminds me of Ace Ventura, "If i'm not back in 5 minutes, just wait longer." vampdocette: :-P Anonymoose84: Aha! I have defeated it! vampdocette: hooray! Anonymoose84: I am Great! vampdocette: *applause* EnigmaSphinx42: ....well HERE'S a Darwin worth mentioning PoolScoop: Heh, that was quick. Must've been flawless EnigmaSphinx42: "A sword swallower died in Bonn after he put an umbrella down his throat - and accidentally pushed the button that opened it." vampdocette: hehe, I remember that from the books PoolScoop: Hurts even thinking about that one, lol Anonymoose84: Cool George: If you put your mind to it you can accomplish ANYTHING! vampdocette: yeah, I know Anonymoose84: Yeah I actually yelled OWWW outloud when I read that one Ael! vampdocette: hehehe EnigmaSphinx42: Unfortunately ;-) PoolScoop: I always have gotten stuck with broken umbrellas,,,I'd trade him, heh vampdocette: heh Anonymoose84: That really must have been a painful way too go... vampdocette: yeah, really PoolScoop: I just hope it was quick. I'm sure if it was documented, people saw it too vampdocette: yeah, *shiver* Anonymoose84: Does it say if it was quick Ael? EnigmaSphinx42: Nope, that's all it says Anonymoose84: I've heard of unbrellas been opened up in other parts of the anatomy....owwww! PoolScoop: With all this talk about it, I'll just say I hope my times comes either in my sleep or in a way I don't feel it vampdocette: yeow PoolScoop: ^ >:o vampdocette: yeah, I know Anonymoose84: I'm thinking of guys here...don't ask it a paragraph in a book that scarred me for life... vampdocette: yipes vampdocette: *petpet* PoolScoop: I just wonder though--people today can live to 85 or 90 pretty easily. When we (I think we're all within about 5 years here) are all old, I bet 120 won't be uncommon vampdocette: yeah, really Anonymoose84: I hope so! Then we can ring in 2200! vampdocette: lol PoolScoop: To think all of us could live to, say 130. Then I'll only start middle age at 60 vampdocette: hehehehe, yay PoolScoop: I'm shooting for 2100. vampdocette: yeah PoolScoop: But by then I'm sure I really will look like Old Biff Anonymoose84: I mean err 2100! Sorry! Can't count! vampdocette: :-P Anonymoose84: 2200 would make me REAAALLY old! vampdocette: yesum yesum PoolScoop: In one respect, it would be cool to see what, say the year 10,000 will be like vampdocette: hehe, yeah PoolScoop: I mean, I wonder if all the roads and highways will always be there, etc vampdocette: Hmmmm Anonymoose84: Roads where we going we don't need...roads! vampdocette: lol, yeah PoolScoop: or if someone will uncover an abandoned Taco Bell and say, "The ancient Americans, circa 1995 AD, ate what they called 'fast food' here, hehe vampdocette: lol PoolScoop: The History Channel in 20,000 AD, hehe Anonymoose84: LMAO! That'd be so funny! vampdocette: :-D Anonymoose84: "Here are relics of the Moose...an ancient human who was well know for her cra-a-a-aziness... PoolScoop: Hehe vampdocette: *snork* PoolScoop: I hope it's at least a little like Futurama predicted though vampdocette: lol, I see Anonymoose84: Maybe they'll have HoloTvs or something by then, every in 3D and stuff! vampdocette: *snork* PoolScoop: Maybe TV will be obsolete, who knows vampdocette: hmmm Anonymoose84: We'll all have bionic implants! PoolScoop: That was an idea way out of its time. More like 3015 than 2015, lol vampdocette: hehehe vampdocette: yeah PoolScoop: brb in 2 mins vampdocette: ok Anonymoose84: Say Ael what's the http: of the Darwin Awards?... EnigmaSphinx42: ....... http://darwinawards.com Anonymoose84: LOL, duh! vampdocette: ;-p Anonymoose84: Oh my Death from Lava Lamp! vampdocette: yeah, strangeness vampdocette: *hits the randomizer* LoL, it's one for you, Moose Anonymoose84: Yeah? vampdocette: (26 December 1997, Brazil) A bicyclist crossing an airport runway in Sorocaba, a city 87 kilometers from Sao Paulo, was killed when he was hit by a landing airplane. EnigmaSphinx42: lol vampdocette: Marcelo, 25, could not hear the twin-engine plane because he was listening to his Walkman on headphones, investigators said. The propellor and right wing of the plane were damaged. EnigmaSphinx42: Listening to his walkman, yeah vampdocette: *groan* PoolScoop: Heh, how could he even hear it anyway> vampdocette: I know Anonymoose84: Oh dear! That's so sad!Hey this is funny three terrorists accidently killed themselves due to confusion over daylight savings time... vampdocette: lol, I know about that PoolScoop: heh, what happened there? Anonymoose84: Well they came and picked up the bombs at 4pm their time but they'd been set up with a clock an hour ahead (Daylight Savings Time) and half an hour later...whoops! vampdocette: hehe, yup vampdocette: They were refusing to live on zionist time PoolScoop: lol EnigmaSphinx42: ....ouch, this is worse than the six-foot guy jumping off his roof into 4 foot water Anonymoose84: When Political Stands go wrong...or right maybe.... vampdocette: lol EnigmaSphinx42: 70 feet up into three foot deep water vampdocette: *headdesk* PoolScoop: me too Anonymoose84: Owww dear! That's gotta hurt like Hell! PoolScoop: You have to wonder what they were thinking.... EnigmaSphinx42: .....no, I'm pretty sure he never felt it vampdocette: Who says they were thinking? PoolScoop: how many survivor incidents are there? Anonymoose84: LOL! vampdocette: :-D EnigmaSphinx42: Not many EnigmaSphinx42: And those who did survive are usually men who've destroyed their bits vampdocette: yeah PoolScoop: If there are, at least you could ask them, lol PoolScoop: ^ hehe EnigmaSphinx42: Like the guy who tried to shoplift two live lobsters by stuffing them in his pants vampdocette: ouch PoolScoop: I think I can figure out the rest, lol Anonymoose84: LMAO! That is HI-LA-RIOUS! Anonymoose84: Well that's sad a guy dehydrated to death (I don't know what you'd call it) within sight of his truck and all the water inside it! EnigmaSphinx42: Yeah, I read that EnigmaSphinx42: Very likely vampdocette: yeah, I read about that too PoolScoop: Thats depressing. How'd that happen vampdocette: He was hiking across one of the driest, hottest places you can hike EnigmaSphinx42: He was trying to cross a desert area with temperatures over 130 F vampdocette: And he miscalculated and didn't take enough water vampdocette: yeah EnigmaSphinx42: And dehydrated to death Anonymoose84: Well he thought he had enough water, but didn't and he must have sat down for a little break and fainted.. EnigmaSphinx42: Um, no EnigmaSphinx42: He was out of water and couldn't go any further vampdocette: yeah, his blood was too thin or something of the sort EnigmaSphinx42: Because, you know, his blood had thickened to paste vampdocette: oh, yeah PoolScoop: Yeah. I'd think if he saw his truck, he'd have the will to keep going, but maybe he thought he'd just rest awhile EnigmaSphinx42: ...if it was thin there'd be water in him :-P vampdocette: yeah, hehe, I knew it was one or the other EnigmaSphinx42: No, he COULDN'T EnigmaSphinx42: It's not a matter of willpower EnigmaSphinx42: He was physically incapable Anonymoose84: Yeah and he was tired, and they figured he saw his truck...and just thought I'll sit down for a minute... PoolScoop: Yeah I guess it's different than running and getting tired, etc vampdocette: yeah EnigmaSphinx42: Actually if he was dehydrated he probably hallucinated and might not've known it was there vampdocette: Hmmm, interesting Anonymoose84: Hey does that mean drinking TOO much water can make your blood too thing? PoolScoop: yeah. Sometimes I've heard they can see mirages too Anonymoose84: ^thin vampdocette: yipes EnigmaSphinx42: No, I doubt it makes your blood too thin EnigmaSphinx42: Just makes you have to pee really bad ;-) vampdocette: hehehehe PoolScoop: lol Anonymoose84: Ah I wondered because I'm feeling dizzy and thought maybe I've drunk too much! PoolScoop: Like Homer with the crab juice vampdocette: Ahhh vampdocette: lol PoolScoop: Just had to bring that up to not get me depressed, lol PoolScoop: I don't think it's easy to drink too much water though I guess you could vampdocette: hmmm PoolScoop: I've rarely known anyone who did the '8 glasses a day' thing. PoolScoop: and that's technically what you're supposed to vampdocette: I know someone who does that and then some -- my Mom Anonymoose84: I drink much more than that I think.But you can drink to much water, and it makes your brain swell up and you die! vampdocette: She drinks two big bottles of fizzy water a day vampdocette: Yipes EnigmaSphinx42: ....where did you get THAT from, Moose? vampdocette: yeah EnigmaSphinx42: Because my bio class just went over osmosis and I don't think that works PoolScoop: I do like bottled/flitered water alot actually. That counts, doesn't it? vampdocette: yeah Anonymoose84: Well I suppose you have to also have a lack of salts...but it happens when you take exctasy sometimes... vampdocette: O.o PoolScoop: I kinda traded soda for that about 10 years ago, heh vampdocette: hehe Anonymoose84: But yes a girl died of it because she took the drug and drank and drank and drank and drank... PoolScoop: If you added up the sodas I had from, say age 2 to 12, it'd be [a funny comparison I can't think of now], LOL EnigmaSphinx42: Well I should get going, it's 12:34 (heh) and I have school tomorrow vampdocette: *nodnod* PoolScoop: ^ I've heard of stuff like that on Dateline, etc vampdocette: yeah, I'm just plain tired EnigmaSphinx42: See y'all later PoolScoop: Yeah I forgot it's late on the East Coast vampdocette: yeah PoolScoop: TTY soon, good nite vampdocette: bai all *hugs* EnigmaSphinx42: 'night Anonymoose84: Whoops! Sorry guys didn't notice :-)*Hugs from the Georges, Lorraines, Catbus, Bob, Otto and me* PoolScoop: :-) EnigmaSphinx42: *hug* EnigmaSphinx42 has left the room. vampdocette has left the room. Anonymoose84: Awww...off they go! PoolScoop: Are you staying on? PoolScoop: I'm lonely now, hehe Anonymoose84: Yeah...I'm wating until peak hour finishes before I go over to my parents place. PoolScoop: yeah. It's 4:30 there, right? Anonymoose84: It is indeed! :-) PoolScoop: Good, I have the times down now Anonymoose84: :-) I don't have the times for up thre yet...what time is it up there? PoolScoop: it got late on me, LOL. I thought it was like 6PM and it's 9:30 Anonymoose84: LOL I've had that happen to me too! PoolScoop: ^ I answered you without even knowing it!! PoolScoop: I must've time travelled 5 seconds into the past! Anonymoose84: I thought it might be that...hey in like 40 mins or something until the West Coast 10:04pm Call! PoolScoop: Oh yeah. And that's Hill Valley time too Anonymoose84: Indeed! :-) PoolScoop: Of course, I also celebrate 4:29 (when I remember) Anonymoose84: What's the significance of that? PoolScoop: the time they arrived in 2015 Anonymoose84: Ah yes I just thought of that... PoolScoop: Well it was actually probably 4:32-35 when they landed, lol Anonymoose84: Didn't they get back to 1985-A some time around 9 though? PoolScoop: yeah. They left 2015/2015-A at 7:28 PM and I think it was 9PM they went to Anonymoose84: Yeah....but who'd wanna celebrate that! O.ODead George looks meancing PoolScoop: I always thought it would've been cool if they went back in the daytime, right after they left at 10:30-11AM or so PoolScoop: ^ true PoolScoop: I think 1985-a would look slightly less scary in the daytime Anonymoose84: I guess they did it so Marty's poor eyes wouldn't get half blind...you know like how you leave the movie theatre in the daytime? PoolScoop: do you think it would still be crawling with bikers and thugs though? Anonymoose84: Maybe they were all asleep? PoolScoop: ^ yeah, LOL. They actually never went from day to night, etc Anonymoose84: But I bet Biff's was full of people... PoolScoop: That's possible. but do you think it would still be hell to walk around there no matter what time? PoolScoop: ^ that too Anonymoose84: Hmm...maybe not exactly dangerous, but you'd still be kind of worried, like walking through a bad downtown suburb, PoolScoop: Yeah, I've been around those Anonymoose84: I've been around one too, you're always looking over your shoulder... PoolScoop: Plus the bikers' convention was that night, so it was probably slightly worse then normal Anonymoose84: Indeed...but those tanks might be always out patrolling the streets at night. PoolScoop: ^ Yeah. That's exactly why I don't like getting off the bus in unfamiliar neighborhoods sometimes PoolScoop: yeah PoolScoop: Have you read an (in progress) fanfic from Doc Lathrop Brown called 'Too Late'? That's a possible accurate picture of the A timeline Anonymoose84: Yeah that's a good fic! :-) Even Strickland shows up! PoolScoop: Hehe yeah. I actually enjoyed it more 'cause some of the stuff he alluded to isn't maybe how I'd have figured (while some is), so it's a nice balance PoolScoop: Like the LP mall doesn't exist--it's the run-down Peabody farm Anonymoose84: Hmm...I wonder would the Mall still exist? Who would go there? PoolScoop: I thought the mall would exist, but maybe it would be filled with looters, etc PoolScoop: Well it was a couple miles from the center of town, so maybe it wasn't quite as bad out there Anonymoose84: Maybe it's called BiffCo Mall :P Anonymoose84: For all your Hazardous Waste Needs... PoolScoop: Could be >:o. Or Tannen City mall PoolScoop: The real reason we didn't see the other half of town is 'cause they're real locations so they couldn't trash them up. But it's cool to think about... PoolScoop: the only clue we have is Doc's garage, which looks kinda run down Anonymoose84: Indeed! Anonymoose84: It's pretty bad I bet there's no Burger King theree! PoolScoop: Or at least not anymore. Maybe that side of town is abandoned Anonymoose84: Like the Library :-( PoolScoop: Yeah, i hadn't thought of that... Anonymoose84: Poor Library! PoolScoop: we do see in in Part 3, but from the inside so we don't know where it is PoolScoop: :-( Anonymoose84: And in Part III it looks like a really nifty Library too, old fashioned and stuff :-) PoolScoop: Well it was still '55, but that's true :-) Anonymoose84: Well it looks sort of 19th cent. PoolScoop: Sort of. Maybe even by TP/LP 1985, they kept it that way Anonymoose84: Or is that early 20th Cent.... Anonymoose84: I hope so it's probably a Historical Landmark! PoolScoop: Yeah. Heck, even in 2015, maybe it's the same Anonymoose84: Probably if it's Hertiage Protected...do you have Hertiage Protection over there> PoolScoop: What do you think the rest of the state/country/world was like in 1985-A? I've heard differing views PoolScoop: ^ I've heard of that- i'm sure some places around here have it Anonymoose84: Well Biff Co was probably a big company so maybe there were plants all over California and maybe the rest of the US... PoolScoop: I wonder if Hill Valley was the worst place out there. Maybe Los Angeles-A would be a million times worse. >:o PoolScoop: I never thought of that, but could be... Anonymoose84: Yeah....maybe all the Drug Dealers and stuff went to Hill Valley... PoolScoop: esp with the toxic waste plant in the COurthouse Square Anonymoose84: Biff probably legalised drugs too! PoolScoop: WOuldn't surprise me. PoolScoop: And schools probably werent' required. We know Biff hated school himself anyway PoolScoop: so by that logic, the whole world could be way different. Anonymoose84: Yeah...I bet a generation of kiddies couldn't read...or maybe only some school so they could read the Biffs sign and the slot machines. PoolScoop: LOL, sad but true Anonymoose84: Ow I feel like I've been hit on the back of my head...but I haven't...weird! PoolScoop: But since we technically see 2015-A for a minute and it looks normal, we have to assume it turned around or at least stopped getting worse PoolScoop: ^ ouch, is it just a sharp pain? Anonymoose84: Yeah. Anonymoose84: Sort of it's like a tender spot when I touch it... PoolScoop: I hate those--did you bump it earlier maybe? Anonymoose84: Hmm...maybe...it could be a weird headache...? PoolScoop: Yeah. I hate those pounding headaches, I get them every so often Anonymoose84: I get one where only one side of my head hurts...I did have on of those pounding headaches it was awful :-( PoolScoop: :-( *hugs again*. Sometimes I've found all you can do is sleep it off in that case Anonymoose84: Yeah I've noticed sleep works! :-) PoolScoop: That or Aspirin Anonymoose84: Indeed! Nothing like good ol' Aspirin, life must have sucked before it came out. PoolScoop: "Thing I miss most here is Tylenol" - close enough, lol Anonymoose84: LOL yeah! Poor Doc ;-) Anonymoose84: Buford could of used some at the end of the movie too :P PoolScoop: I'm sure of it. I bet he never forgot that, lol Anonymoose84: Do you think he all ready had kids? Or that he had 'em later on? PoolScoop: Probably did--I once figured the math... PoolScoop: since the McFlys and Tannens are the same age, William & Buford's kid must be too PoolScoop: so I'd say he had a kid in 1883/84 of every timeline Anonymoose84: Hmmm...yeah I remember that the Part I novel where Marty mentions his Grandfather went to World War I couldn't possibly be true, because William would have had to have a child at 15! Anonymoose84: And men don't usually have 'em that young. PoolScoop: Yeah, it's vaguely possible, but I doubt it PoolScoop: Even though in those days 15 was like middle age, lol Anonymoose84: :D Anonymoose84: "You kids be quiet! When I was your age I worked in mines!" PoolScoop: LOL Anonymoose84: Better then a 15 mile walk to school in bare feet I guess... PoolScoop: But what I figured was off that we know the McFlys and tannens were born in an 8 or 7 year. Marty--1968, George 1938, etc... PoolScoop: so William should've been 1878, but it looks more like 1884 PoolScoop: so we have to assume Seamus had him around 26/27, and Will had George's dad around that age too Anonymoose84: I had George's father being born 1914 or so. Anonymoose84: I also gave him a twin...so Marlene and Marty Jr have some genetic stuff to go on :-) PoolScoop: Hehe, I never thought, in the final film, they were twins but I could be wrong Anonymoose84: Well it's hard to tell...although since they look so much like Marty and the same age people figure it that way... PoolScoop: 1910-15 sounds about right, so he can have George in the mid 20s PoolScoop: yeah. Marlene just seems older though. Not much, just a couple years at most, but still Anonymoose84: Yeah...but people like twins :-) They're cool! PoolScoop: True. My cousins are Twins, heh Anonymoose84: Identical? PoolScoop: Besides, MJ doesn't exactly seem 17, LOL Anonymoose84 has left the room. PoolScoop: ^ Not quite, but very similar looking PoolScoop: MOOSEY'S DISCONNECTION WAS ACCIDENTAL. PoolScoop: Later y'all. :-)
Th-th-th, that's all folks!

Same here! I mean, it's not so much fun reading them AFTER they've happened...
