Well, the old 'four minute warning' thing would never come - why terrify people if they can't do a thing about it. Better to let them die quietly, without knowing what hit them.

Well, if somebody told you that there was 5 minutes left to live, then he is wasting his own last 5 minutes of life to tell you. Seems kind of dumb to me

Nope, there's no deleted posts in this thread. You must have posted it under the wrong thread, accidentally.

3 minutes to think of something awesome, 1 minute to get dressed and 1 minute to get to the front door, look at the time and swear then die.

If I was told there was only five minutes till the end of the world, I'd spend them laughing and calling the person that told me insane, so really I'd die happy, but I doubt I'm gonna live until the end of the world, I think I'm gonna get shot when I'm older, something about me suggests it.

I'd blow the world up after 30 seconds. That way,you all wouldnt' have five minutes to spare,and it'd be my little friends pretty much wasting their last 30 seconds telling you in five minutes the world was going to end,but it was really going to end in 5 minutes 4 minutes and 30 seconds ago.

CR, seriously, chill. I didn't say "cut the NO crap or I'll ban you" or anything even remotely authorative (and please name ONE time when I've ever acted like a mod), and you're the only person who read it that way. I'm getting sick of it... it stopped being funny ages ago. If you don't like that I hate the phrase, too bad. Don't try to turn it around and make me the bad guy because you're insulted that I'm fed up with hearing it. From now on, I'll say that exact phrase whenever you say "NO!" Ban me to your liking if that'll make you sleep better at night.

I get the idea, but I don't see myself having a USB orgy, I mean I'm still at the stage where I have the chance of having real people . Heck to me an orgy itself is a bit OTT for something sexual.

Ditto, it is getting rather overdone. But as for door to door people, if you see one coming, get a satanic circle ready with all of the ritual tools and a goat (or just a person) in the center and recite latin, and welcome them in, if you're going to be bugged by them, at least entertain yourself by winding them up.

Doesn't matter if you gonna be dead in 5 minutes anyway...which gives me an idea, if I had 5 minutes until the world ends, I'd buy as much as I can with a credit card and enjoy those 5 minutes because its not as if the bank is gonna send me a massive letter in the post.

Quote: "Yeah, well you know how old people are...they hit one fad with the kids, and then they milk it and completly overdo untill no one finds it remotly funny anymore"


Like my Dad who wears a Green Day shirt, its doesn't wear it out for him, because he genuinely likes that sort of thing, but other old people, they can wear it thin, but good for me, I don't know any, my local old people are just those strapped to rocket powered wheel chairs jumping over 6 buses whilst braking out of chains with their nose and at the same time, sobering up a drunken monkey. And thats how all old people should be, not just our cambridgeshire lot.

That's it I'm buying a lottery ticket, the odds have got to be better then Megaton and Matt agreeing.

Personally as for the NO thing, I could care less, do I find it funny, NO!. However lol, rofl, lmao, any leet speak all annoy me even more so I just ignore it. I would like to see a statistic as to the number of people that actually ROFL when they type ROFL. I'm betting it is pretty close to 0%.

Hah yeah I know what you mean, someone got the "No." thing off me a while ago and would be constantly using it on MSN in completely the wrong place. Infact I think it was you.

I like George Carlin's advice. When they come to the door and say "have you found Jesus?" answer the door naked and say "No, come on in and help me look for him!"

Quote: "That's it I'm buying a lottery ticket, the odds have got to be better then Megaton and Matt agreeing."

lol it's been known to happen now and again... not usually, in fact, less than .001% of the time, but it's still more likely to happen than encountering a sober Gary Busey

Quote: "Locky Chu was genious."

I thought so too! I even used it a few times. This can be directly related to the Kelly Clarkson discussion on a different thread, about mediocrity dominating in modern society lol

Are you trying to hide the fact that you're 12 and acts gay to get girls' attention.

Sometimes I go around saying Lol, like Lawl, instead of L-O-L. It's what years of online gaming does to you... *sigh*

Guess my dislike of LOL and the others comes from overuse, when every post has something like.

Quote: "Post a
Did you hear 120 people died in a massive car crash?

post B
ROFL wow thats sad."



But this happens with tons of things anyone remember the "NOT" era? My frien Mike uses F#@% at least three times in every sentence, I am so used to hearing it it has no meaning whatsoever from his mouth. My friend Dave however almost never swears and if the F word pops from his lips I know he has a strong feeling about something. See in case 2 here there is meaning behind the explative, If you pop a giant NO! on everything or ROFL 10 times a day your in a rut and making no real statement.

I say "lawl" and "wtf" in RL when I'm among a circle of geeks. If you're ashamed of saying stuff like that because you think people will think you're "gay" then you got some self-esteem and insecurity issues.
