These things require work.

You have to go out of your way to screw something up.

[Neko Toast]

Smash it with a sledgehammer.

Drop it down some stairs.

[Nano]

Drop it down some stairs.

Drop some stairs on it.

[billtodamax]

Post your email address a few times on the net then open all attachments?

[Hannes]

I'd have to say I'm bloody persistent. I'm still sewing! It's 3:22 am! I'm halfway done!

[Coidzor]

It's 100%SFW.

I just had armor grade leather around. I also had a great idea.

Which didn't turn out so great.

Where did you get your hands on armor-grade leather? ...And what does that mean, actually? The boiled in wax, specially hardened kind? ...If so, yeah... that'd be a ***** to shape.

...All this talk of sledgehammers is reminding me to go look for my old one.

[Zocelot]

I'd have to say I'm bloody persistent. I'm still sewing! It's 3:22 am! I'm halfway done!

That is pretty persistent.

I've recently had to take down a tree, and I have to cut it up into small segments. I'm pretty new to using an axe, and it's also trying my patience. However, I'm not up to 3:22 in the morning using an axe.

Here's an interesting topic. Anyone have parents on Facebook? My mom recently got it.

[SDF]

My mom is one of my friends on facebook... I pretty much had to set it up for her too.

[Coidzor]

Mine father is on facebook and harassed me for a good year before I finally had to add him.

Now he mainly just harasses me about joining game applications with him.

[billtodamax]

I'm not even on facebook, and it would disturb me to no end if my mother was.

[Rutskarn]

I don't use Facebook, or MySpace, or anyadatcrap. Just this site, Chocolate Hammer, and a YouTube account for my LP.

I don't mind telling you I have no idea what any of the words in this sentence meant. This is the problem with the youth of today: too much time inventing nonsense words, not enough time taking a bullet in the lung defending a hill. I don't have to know what the hell twitters and texting and body sprays are to understand that they're not the sort of thing men should be engaged in. Like conversations, or painting things that aren't a house.

The following is a short list of things men should be engaged in, at all times:

1. Getting a haircut
2. Yelling
3. Digesting ribs
4. Hill defense

[Hell Puppi]

My friend's mom uses myspace, as does my cousin's mom. My mom? She just learned how to text on a phone.
She texts like a stereotypical 14 year old girl.
I really don't worry about it.

Oh...and my grandma just learned how to text....that's kind of scary.


Edit: You forgot belching/scratching body parts or fixing cars.

[Assassin89]

I don't use Facebook or MySpace, but I am not sure if either of my parents use it.

Both my parents have Facebook and cyberstalk me. My mom is always asking about the people who write on my wall: "Who is this guy?" "You don't know him, Mom." "Well, how do YOU know him?" "I met him at a camp." "Well, why's he saying X to you?"

I guess that's one downside of your mom knowing all your friends and their parents throughout most of your life.

[Recaiden]

Neither of my parents have Facebook. I'm glad, that would be creepy.

So your know knows about us guys?

Well they they forgot it.

*stabbed*

SPY IN THE BASE!

[Dragonrider]

They know I'm on GitP. They don't really know that I consider a lot of you guys "friends".

I was thinking more about my childhood. Because I didn't go to school, I met all my friends through situations and activities where my mom usually also was.

First, that first part is very surprising.

Second, I would think a lot of people meet early friends in the same way. I did, despite going to school.

My dad might be without my knowing, but I would be very surprised if my mother had become technologically literate enough to have any social networking site accounts.

[Dragonrider]

First, that first part is very surprising.

What about it is surprising?

[Recaiden]

Well, you seem very secretive and reserved. I pictured you as having few friends, but being very close to them. Not usually people you know through an internet forum. Then again, all I know about you is what you choose to tell us, so my impressions probably aren't that accurate.

There are friends, and then there are friends.

I have about 5 people whom I would consider "very close". I know almost all of them well "in real life"; several I've known since grade school but have only became close with recently.

But then I have the people who know a lot about me and with whom I interact on a daily basis. Like my tennis team. They're not the people I'd drive five hours to see (or even ten) (I would for my close close friends) but I enjoy interacting with them. Most people in the Playground fall into the second category...I mean, I don't share where I live or my real name, but the Playground figures very largely in my life.

[Thanatos 51-50]

So, I decided to check on my bank account. The very same one that I have been unable to acess due to the bank's SNAFU.
Not counting savings, I have over 3500 dollars that I am unable to acess, just sitting there, taunting me.
The doesn't seem like alot, until you relise that the only bull I pay is ~60 dollars for the internet.
And Pretty much $300 or less for groceries and sustinance a month.

I'm being taunted.

EDIT: On an interesting side-note, this is simultaneously the richest and poorest I have been in my life.

[SDF]

I have a stupid number of good friends. There are at least a dozen people I would run to the ends of the earth to help out, three times that I can get real personal with, and a couple hundred I get along with real well. Then it branches off to acquaintances ect. Not bad for a guy with bad social anxiety.

Well, yes, the dictator must have information in order to control effectively.

...I'm now tempted to propose to some of my friends who have their parents do that to their facebook profiles for the lulz.

[randman22222]

Ugh. Moving is melancholy.

I'm sitting in a serviced apartment, I know nobody here, my family drives me crazy, but I don't hate them or anything, this place cannot feel less like a home. Time zones are all wonky such that I see my friends very rarely on the internet.

Hm. So what's been going on in you guys' lives? Anything particularly interesting?

EDIT: And none of my instruments are here yet.

[Coidzor]

Pretty boring and pathetic on this end. About the only thing of interest are the four kittens I have. They're aboot as long as your hand right now. Maybe 4 weeks old. Maybe 5. I forgot. x.x

That's pretty rough though. Maybe time-delayed messages can help somewhat though for correspondence at least, if not true connection.
