zowie.. almost blew my coffee out my nose!!..

*bug*

i'm glad you pick you nose the same as you do with those innocent posters....

I hope Off Topic gets a face lift. I'd like to have seperate threads in the Off Topic section.

lol.. well I don't know how innocent I am...but nat and I have come to an understanding.. I'm always right.. even though she pretends I'm wrong

*bug*

Whatever, *snaps fingers in a mid-air "Z"* bitch.

I reached to quite a similar convention with my lover.. ..i'm always right even if he knows and pretends i'm wrong...

Has anyone been watching "Tin Man" on the SciFi Channel?
It's been fabulous!!
And OMG - Neil McDonough - the man has lips to die for!! smooch smooch

This is MN now - winter's here even if the calendar doesn't say it's winter yet.

and you wonder why none initiates conversation with you. Or misses you when you're gone.

Tin Man is aiiiight. Great re-vision. I heard McFarlan (SPAWN creator) is gonna make a feature length film re-vision.

well.. i miss him when he's gone

*bug*

Bwhahaha, keep the illusion alive. It sure keeps you coming back. I'll be here waiting for you.

I miss you Bubba, I had hopped Gnats aka Detnats, absents was due to being booted. I really thought she and Parcher would get along. Ok I am bad, but don't like pickers. I miss andy too, did he get married yet?

Also been watching Tin Man, really like it.

bwahhaha "gnats". Did it take you all day to think that one up? You've been reported to the admin.

thank you very much. Have a great day.

Does anyone know when the first part of Tin-man will be rebroadcast??

I went to the Sci Fi Network site and looked it up Looks like it will rebroadcast starting 12/9/07 at 5 oclock starting with part one, then two and three. It says Sci Fi East so must be Eastern time. Here is the link

Tin Man Well that didn't work, in Search just type in Tin Man

I'm chopping for a peas smashing goodtime!

gnats..lol.. that's a good one jyran.. i like it

*bug*

Parcher:

fyi:

H = Ω / λ

where λ= 0.73 [or a positive integer]

thus,

a cold freeze after the universe just keeps expanding. (though thats not set in stone. It's also not a frivilous hypothesis.)

Ah as long as it's not a shouting match of name-calling I really don't worry about internet drama of any kind. It's not worth the effort.

I consider entropy to be a constant. What do ya'll think?

Thanks all for your thoughts and congrats. It seems we are going off topic the last few days??
Cannot wait till Thursday!! Anyone else??

Ummm... *points to the top of the screen* this IS the off-topic thread...

I miss Bubba when he's gone.


spook

I humbly offer the same (unsolicited) advice for gnats that I did for preacher.

Ignore it and maybe it will go away.

The "ignored user" button is there for a reason.

I really enjoyed The ending of Tin Man, even though I DVR it and fasted forward through some parts. I think they could have done with out the three parts. Like the ending, I was waiting for it to be a dream like the original, also like how they tied the original into this one. If you haven't seen it try to catch the replay on the 9th. Or at least record it and fast forward through the slow parts. The story as a whole is good. In my opinion.

Ah, the Ignore button. I forgot about that.

You have to wonder about the nasty people who come on message boards only to insult other posters. I don't know whether to feel bad for them-there's obviously something wrong there- or take them as they seem: Ignorant unhappy people begging for attention good or bad.

first of all.. i love your sig...very very sweet.
second...if you are putting me in the catagory of *nasty*.. i asked a legit question to parcher.. and afterward we had a discussion of views and opinions.. i never got an answer to my question..and felt like he was just typing a lot of pretty words without saying anything .. or answering a simple question.
I consider our discussion just that.. i tend to call people on something they post if it is contrary to what I've always thought.. and ask for explanations..to broaden my perspective.. or.. to prove a point. I don't think that is nasty.. it is a part of what a message board is all about.. this is off topic so anything goes as far as subject matter for anyone to post a reply or ignore.

*bug*

I did not mean you. Sorry if you thought I did.
I just didn't want to name names. The person I meant is an instigator who seems to like to egg people on for no other reason than it being their idea of fun.

who is that in your avatar if you don't mind me asking?

*bug*

That is my very own handsome, dark haired, brown eyed sweetie. My husband.

omg.. well he is a handsome man.. that is very sweet.

*bug*

Thank you. He thinks so.

LOL, I know what you mean, I try to bite my tongue, but a very sweet lady no longer comes here, and I think its due to this person, and that makes me very angry. Life is too short, and people use the internet as a way to bully people and get away with being mean, and hurtful, cause its easier than to do it face to face. I don't know if yall heard what happened awhile back. These two girls where online and had a friendship, they were teenagers, and one of the mothers didn't approve of the friendship, so when her daughter was out of the room, the mom got on messenger and chatted like she was the daughter and said some hurtfull things to the other girl to break up the friendship, and the girl ended up killing herself. You never know how your hurtfull words, or what you think is funny will hurt someone. So use your words carefully. My daughter was bullied severly and almost killed herself, so I take it very seriously. Guess thats why I can't hold my tongue with this certain person. I miss and worry about krodgers I hope she is ok.

I was wondering where she'd been. I hope she comes back!

im glad that someone else is watching tin man besides me. when i asked my friends if they have seen it, they look at me like im crazy ~_~(). anywho, i didnt get a chance to see it last night!!! but im sure they are going to be playing it non-stop. but from the parts i have seen, i like it alot. i can smell alot of new fan fics of it too ^__^()

I'm recording Tin Man on Sunday since I missed recording the first part both nights it was on and I hate coming in the middle of things.

i know what you mean. and with shows like tin man, if you start watching it in the middle, you will have no idea whats going on.

That's so sad, and maddening! I'm so sorry about your daughter.

I didn't know that's why K-Rod hasn't been around. I PM'd her, too, and she didn't answer.

It's too bad there hafta be jerks, too, who infiltrate our little world here.


spook

i heard about the mother who made up the fake profile and was posing as a guy cuz she didnt approve with the girl being friends with her daughter. i dont know how this woman can live with herself. she is mother and she should know better.

im really worried about krodgers too. last time i heard from her was a day before thanksgiving and i sent her messages since then. the board seems a little less quiet and silly without her. im hoping she is safe and comes back soon!

My prayers go out to the people and their families that were hurt or killed in that mall shooting.

Got this in an Email, thought it was very interesting and made me proud to be an american. [/color]

On Jeopardy the other night, the final question was How many steps does the guard take during his walk across the tomb of the Unknowns ------ All three missed it ---

b]This is really an awesome sight to watch if you've never had the chance Very fascinating.

Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

1. How many steps does the guard take during his walk across the tomb of the Unknowns and why?

21 steps. It alludes to the twenty-one gun salute, which is the

highest honor given any military or foreign dignitary.

2. How long does he hesitate after his about face to begin his

return walk and why?

21 seconds for the same reason as answer number 1

3. Why are his gloves wet?

His gloves are moistened to prevent his losing his grip on the rifle.

4. Does he carry his rifle on the same shoulder all the timeand if not, why not?

He carries the rifle on the shoulder away from the tomb.

After his march across the path, he executes an about face

and moves the rifle to the outside shoulder.

5. How often are the guards changed?

Guards are changed every thirty minutes,

twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year.

6. What are the physical traits of the guard limited to?

For a person to apply for guard duty at the tomb, he must be

between 5' 10" and 6' 2" tall and his waist size cannot exceed 30." Other

requirements of the Guard: They must commit 2 years of life to guard the

tomb, live in a barracks under the tomb, and cannot drink any alcohol on

or off duty for the rest of their lives. They cannot swear in public for the

rest of their lives and cannot disgrace the uniform {fighting} or the tomb in

any way After two years, the guard is given a wreath pin that is worn on

their lapel signifying they served as guard of the tomb. There are only

400 presently worn. The guard must obey these rules for the rest of their

[b]lives or give up the wreath pin.

The shoes are specially made with very thick soles to keep the heat

and cold from their feet. There are metal heel plates that extend to the

top of the shoe in order to make the loud click as they come to a halt.

There are no wrinkles, folds or lint on the uniform. Guards dress for duty

in front of a full-length mirror.

The first six months of duty a guard cannot talk to anyone, nor watch TV. All off duty time is spent studying the 175 notable people laid

to rest in Arlington National Cemetery. A guard must memorize who they are

and where they are interred. Among the notables are: President Taft, Joe

E. Lewis {the boxer} and Medal of Honor winner Audie Murphy, {the most

decorated soldier of WWII} of Hollywood fame.

Every guard spends five hours a day getting his uniforms ready for

guard duty.

ETERNAL REST GRANT THEM O LORD, AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM.

In 2003 as Hurricane Isabelle was approaching Washington, DC, our

US Senate/House took 2 days off with anticipation of the storm. On the ABC

evening news, it was reported that because of the dangers from the

hurricane, the military members assigned the duty of guarding the Tomb of

the Unknown Soldier were given permission to suspend the assignment. They

respectfully declined the offer, "No way, Sir!" Soaked to the skin,

marching in the pelting rain of a tropical storm, they said that guarding

the Tomb was not just an assignment, it was the highest honor that can be afforded to a serviceperson. The tomb has been patrolled continuously,

24/7, since 1930.God Bless and keep them.

I wondered where K-Rod went.

I was just wondering that yesterday. I hope she's just too busy to post and nothing bad happened.

It sounds like one of the trolls scared her away.

I mean preacher or gnat.

I PM'd her but got no reply.
