I like the holidays. They are really great!
Well then i guess this isn't the thread for you.
As far as I'm concerned, the only holidays that count are Christmas and my birthday, because I get presents.
Valentine's Day is pretty strange - but I think Labor Day is an odd holiday - its called Labor day but everyone gets a day off?
holladays must be that week celebrating martin lawrence. </bad joke>
For a bad joke, that was actually pretty damn good.Quote:

P.S. Holidays are shit. I used to love Halloween, but with two years straight of shitty trick or treater turnout at my house I'm about to give up on that one too.
Holladay is not a word. Holiday, on the other hand, is a day off. Thus Valentine's is not a holiday but a recognition of tradition. Or something, I don't know the technical word.
As for holidays, I enjoy them. Labor Day, MLK Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and tomorrow, New Year's Day. They're all good.
Alright so I can't spell, ya got me, but eventhough Valentines Day technically isn't a HOLIDAY it is still reconized by ,atleast from my experince, everyone and it's annoying. I think it should be done away with along with other actual holidays such ass Thanksgiving.
Oh and one more thing, Cram it Carter.
Well, I like all of the holidays :)
You get to stay home and all.
Xmas and New Year especially nice, since you get presents :p
I love how n00bs try to get all "puffy" when they encounter the regular posters. "Puffy" here being the textual representation of little birds trying to fluff up their feathers to look bigger than they actually are.
I like the holidays that give you time off. I'll never take those for granted. Now any holiday or occasion dealing with love, like Valentines Day and the Hallmark created Sweetest Day aren't exactly my favorite. I make up for those days when I celebrate my Anniversary with the wife (feels more special that way).
BTW ChallangeMe, you'll have more fun on these boards if develope a thicker skin. People here love to point out misspellings and gramatical errors. Getting defensive will just start you out on the wrong foot. We all want to be friends here, right....? I said right?
*cricket chirps*
You mean, "cram it, Carter."Quote:

Finally we have our first asshole and they call him Lhadatt, and ya know what I love Lhadatt, I love how "veterans" or whatever you wanna call yourselfe try and, I guess, put noobs in there place. I mean what give you the right. What do you think just because you've spent more time on your ass infront of a computer screen that you somehow have gained the authority to sterotype. I set this thread up to see who would agree with me or atleast put up a good argument for why they don't agree and if your just gona come in here and start mouthin' off just because you think you have some kind of power well then you can just fornicate youself with and iron rod.
And again, Cram it(,) Carter.
You've still got a captial C.
What exactly is that suppost to mean.
Hm, Lhadatt helps keep this Web site running and has contributed many quality posts over the past year or two. You come in and get into a fight in maybe your first thread. Not an auspicious debut.
My least favorite holidays are Halloween, because I don't want to be anyone but me, even for pretend; Valentine's Day, because I don't want to be told when to be sweet; and Thanksgiving, because it is is rooted in native blood.
Any holiday that doesn't involve me getting something aren't true holidays.
Thank you for your imput, I'm glad atleast some of that was on subject and for the record I didn't start a fight I am only sticking up for myself.
Thanks, Nick.
You should probably learn to tell the difference between people picking on you and making a joke about your behavior. Carter is playing around, just as I am making light of your tough-guy attitude. We're not the ones starting fights -- that would be you.Quote:

Lighten up and you will enjoy the TNL community. Playing tough won't do you any good here.
I'm not trying to play tough I'm just trying to keep it simple. I didn't set this threat up to have to sift through snide remarks and shots at my integrity (your "jokes"), I set it up to get opinions of the topic. If ya wanna make jokes about that go right ahead but leave me personally out of 'em, thats all I ask.
Hey now, threats aren't allowed in any board other than FC.:)
Uhmm.. yeah.
Read some other topics on the boards. There isn't one that doesn't have some amount of side-tracking.
I honestly don't think anyone -- including myself -- meant you any malice. Lighten up, or someone else will probably choose to exploit your touchy attitude.
As for the holidays.. I like them, but being off work for two weeks is annoying -- I'm hourly, so no pay for me...
Considering the statements you've made and tone you've set, I don't know what else you could honestly expect of these people.
By the way, the answer to a bad thread is NOT more threads.
Is that a preemptive strike? :DQuote:

Why do think you need to be offensive right off the bat? Does it establish you as that oh-so-conformist 'rebellious' attitude that's its own hypocricy? I mean, come on...people here think I'm easy to jump on someone for something small, and even I think how your behaving is silly. They're making jokes, not putting you in your place. If it was someone who was here for years making the same spelling mistakes, they'd make the same jabs. Big deal.
Not to mention, if you're so worried about someone putting you in your place over a message board, you might want to consider finding other things to be obsessive about. Then again, I've just met you, so...
Heres a question. Why isn't there just a say whatever the fuck you want thread. I mean people are just gona do it anyway so why isn't there just one big thread we you can just go in there and say what ever you want. I think that would help a lot cause it would seprate the people who just wanna mouth off from those who want to talk about something specific.
Also, Lhadatt, I could sit here and try to explain to you that I do not have a touchy attitude but I won't waste my time because telling someone they are touchy makes it so. You obviously take what I say out of context which I can't blame you for, you'd have to know me to be able to understand, but now you think I'm touchy so I guess thats how it's gona be.
So don't talk. I'm sorry if I come off as obsessive and whatnot but your right you don't know me so you shouldn't be making judgments.Quote:

And just to clear things up for anyone eles who wants to pop in and tell me that these people are just making jokes, I already know this. Plus I don't care about my spelling. For people who are so quick to make jokes they sure can't reconize 'em.
Here's a question; why isn't there just a "say whatever the f*ck you want" thread?Quote:

You're welcome.
I'll say it again, don't ignore it this time.Quote:

Threads on the TNL Forums get derailed easily. Deal.
If you're not touchy, why do you get offended at the drop of a hat?Quote:

I'm *trying* to like you, but you're making it very difficult.
"You're", not "your". "Your" is posessive.Quote:

I'm not offended. I tryed clearing that up but appearently It's not working or people are not listening.
And nothing personal but I think Carter is trying to offend me.
Tried. Apparently. "it's".Quote:

Carter, I've seen your post and I have to say you're not perfect. I seem to remember something about picking the stone out of ones own eye before picking at the one in somoene eleses.
Think about it.
I think Carter's giving you a hard time now intentionally, only because you came off so brash so easily.
Not to mention I was gonna respond to the topic, until I read all this rebellious-esque talk. I mean, heck, I can understand a thread getting sidetracked being a pain, but:
1) It happens and will always happen. Either let it go or try to get things back on topic. Don't get upset and even further derail things.
2) This is about holidays. Not the deepest topic around. Aside from quick one sentence answers, I don't know if there would be much else to it. If this thread did get into interesting territory, or if a lot of people were enjoying holiday nostalgia, then I could see being mad about getting off topic. Still though...
it happens. Don't stress it.
Now i wish there was an icon that just pointed up 'cause it would save me the typing:
1)We've already been over the side-tracking thing.
2)I know it's not the most indepth topic out there but I figured there would atleats be some intelligent commentary out there.
Luke 6:42, Holy Bible, New Testement, NAS Version
"Or how can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye."
Challenge: Intentional offense? No. I'm just kidding around. You're the one getting offended, I've done nothing to make you feel that way. If you're offended by such simple things, you should have been here when EThugg was going on tirades during the Xbox/GC launch. A more concentrated, pure form of hell was never before witnessed.
and to keep on topic, I loathe Valentine's Day and love Christmas.
Well you're good Carter I'll give ya that but I have to say that I don't much apprecheate the grammer lessions.
I whole heartedly agree with you Hero.
And yes I did't spell check my last post.
"Grammer" should be "grammar." Also, commas are your friends.
Or are they.
Do not doubt the Shake Zulah, or you shall be banished to the forbidden zone where people are forced to read nothing but GamePro.
But do I get to meet Meat Wad.
No, you don't. MC Pee Pants might be down there though.
Eh, good enough.
Hey, you're participating in this thread DESPITE it veering off-topic. And you're not getting all pissy. YAY
Ya stumbled on something eles I enjoy, cartoons. YAY.
kinda off topic but that blonde haired chick in 8 Simple Rules for Dating my Teenage Daughter...is FAWKING HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where'd that come from.
[Speak 'N Spell voice]
That is incorrect. The correct spellings are
A-P-P-R-E-C-I-A-T-E and
L-E-S-S-O-N-S

Maybe you need to learn more about Kelsey... oops, I mean Grammar.

I love seeing people conversing with Jeremy... because it looks like they are talking to themselves.
Oh, and I hate Valentines say too. Makes no sence... it was the day St. Valentine was beheaded.... and we celebrate this how? But exchange in chocolate puppies or something. How apporpriate.
I like most others though... as much as a guy who sees little benefit of them could I suppose.
And don't fight with people... you don't even have your wheels yet.

Chist that was stupid... strike one gameoverDude :/Quote:

Just a quirk of mine- I sometimes do quote after my post occasionally... but it's probably better that I start quoting before all the time. Putting the quote before the post does look better, come to think of it.Quote:

Your a mean one Mr. Grinch.
X-max(sic) I hate the most. Everybody tries to be happy and make other people happy and, as a result, everyone gets pissy. Esp. the buying public. All for what? One (hour) of fun.
"ooh... thanks mom. Sock..."
I wouldn't mind having an X-max that didn't involve giving gifts. Mostly, because I wouldn't have to spend anything. But that's besides the point. The point is... I forget.
X-max sucks.
Oh, one more thing.
Noobs, don't get lippy with Vets, ya hear? Establishing yourself as a bully when you don't even have an avatar is asking for trouble. Also, it's pretty stupid.
Alright I'll say this again, that point was already established.
Just reinforcing.
