[QUOTE=Nautsabes;28594309]Yes it is.[/QUOTE] yous a liar Oh my god I got a tin of jasmine tea I love it it is so tasty

Just made 'koolaid' Found out too late that my brother used ALL the sugar to make that divinity crap (99% sugar, .5% vanilla, .5% corn syrup or some obscene crap), and I went ahead and filled the pitcher up 3/4 of the way anyway. We have an ungodly amount of the lemonade flavored koolaid, we buy one every time we buy any koolaid whatsoever. You can count how many times we've bought koolaid, because nobody likes the lemonade ones. I grabbed two packets and threw them in that fucking pitcher expecting we'd at least have a cup of sugar left, but no. Great satanic dog farts this shit is sour. I'll still drink it, but damn.

Naut, close your mouth so we can't see your teeth. Plus, it'll make you look more like a badass.

Pray tell, what's wrong with his teeth?

So it starts.

[QUOTE=Moosey Fate!;28595245]Pray tell, what's wrong with his teeth?[/QUOTE] To me, the expression doesn't match. Yer smoking a corn cob pipe; look like a motherfucking badass!

If I had my way, I'd have all of ya shot!

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;28595391]If I had my way, I'd have all of ya shot![/QUOTE] Shot with love and kindness only you could give, right?

I was thinking it's so much better than Lord of the Flies. [editline]14th March 2011[/editline] Sanger Rainsford is such an awesome name.

TMDG is an excellent short story. Offshoot Topic - The Great Gatsby is also an excellent novel, I wanted more of the story. More I say! MORE!

This movie is AMAZING. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdkGAtipNFY[/media] [editline]14th March 2011[/editline] Highlights: Abbot White drawing power from virgin girls. "YOUR SLAPPINGS AROUSE ME!" Ninja turning into a flying carpet. How Abbot White is defeated.

[QUOTE=Elizer;28595603] Offshoot Topic - The Great Gatsby is also an excellent novel, I wanted more of the story. More I say! MORE![/QUOTE] Honestly I found it to be one of the most uninteresting stories I've ever read. Maybe I just didn't understand it, but it felt to me like a story written just for the sake of writing instead of telling a story, entertaining, providing a moral, or anything else that I would typically associate with a book that I might read. It just seems extremely bland to me.

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;28595780]If you didn't see the moral in The Great Gatsby it's your failing, not Fitzgerald's.[/QUOTE] Which is what everyone else told me too, but I still couldn't find one. Maybe I wasn't looking hard enough, but I didn't feel sadness at Gatsby's death, or anything else in the story. Reading about the various relationships between his "friends" and whoever it was that got hit by the car did not interest me at all. His relationship with his father and the drunk man who attended his funeral just made it seem like even for being the main character, it seemed like the entire goddamn book was devoted solely to describing Gatsby and how he's a tragic character. It was like an excerpt from a biography and was just too boring for me to enjoy it at all.

Made an unusually forceful and aggravating post in the Bay12 forums. Halfway expect to be banned. I was provoked, okay? You don't walk into a thread and tell everyone to shut up because you think someone else' ideas are more thought out and their word is final. The only word that is final is the developer's, which I'm pretty sure that man is NOT.

Daisy set the actions in motion that led to Gatsby's death. She shows no signs of remorse over his death; neither of them do. The point being, the rich showed no compassion to any problems surrounding them and just moved on without showing any feeling.
