    2008-05-26 03:22:20.0

    Okay, EVERYONE needs to play this.

    It's basically a flash-based spoof of WoW. I laughed all the while I was in it, and I'll be going back in for more soon!

    2008-06-09 23:57:41.0

    You guys have to check this game out - enemy6

    I haven't laughed this much playing a game ever!

    2008-12-03 18:19:55.0

    ...That is annoying...

    2008-12-03 18:25:49.0

    2008-12-03 18:30:31.0

    I love the videos at the end!!!

    2008-12-03 18:52:52.0

    You made it to the end already?!

    2008-12-03 18:53:10.0

    what, you didn't?

    2008-12-03 18:54:15.0

    Have you forgotten my lack of gaming skills?

    I set it aside and will go back to it later

    2008-12-03 18:54:51.0

    even you should be able to get to the end, dek....skillz or no skillz.

    2008-12-04 04:21:59.0

    I will.... soon

    2008-12-04 17:11:59.0

    You must be too busy reading the quirky headlines!

    2008-12-04 17:13:28.0

    It's a cool game, I must admit.

    2008-12-04 17:13:55.0

    hahaah yeah, I get very distracted with all the things around it

    2008-12-04 17:14:18.0

    have you finished it yet?

    2008-12-04 17:40:45.0

    have you at least made the intermission?

    2008-12-04 17:41:40.0

    No no no!!

    I haven't had the time to sit and play

    *puts hands in head*

    2008-12-04 17:43:01.0

    Stop making me feel guilty!!

    2008-12-04 17:43:09.0

    2008-12-04 17:44:02.0

    I'm a busy person ok?!

    Hrrmph

    *tosses her hair and walks away*

    2008-12-04 17:48:23.0

    I FINISHED IT!!! hahahahah This is like the first game I'm good at!!

    Had some trouble at L12. Took 3 goes. And 2 tries at 14, but now I'M DONE!

    2008-12-17 05:11:48.0

    I've played it before.. still able to load my game.

    I got stuck on level 13... just can't do it.

    2008-12-17 05:34:06.0

    Amazing game muhuhahaah!

    2008-12-17 05:37:29.0

    Whoa... I can do something SK can't!

    2008-12-17 05:56:57.0

    :O

    2008-12-17 05:56:59.0

    level 12 is being far to uncooperative.....

    2008-12-17 10:19:26.0

    Yes yes, everyone revel in the moment of dek winning something :P

    Maybe you could share the mysterious secrets of level13-beating...

    2008-12-17 11:20:29.0

    One word - Attack!

    2008-12-17 16:59:18.0

    It likes to send a huge percentage to your base, so you wait for the moment and get it's big base

    2008-12-17 16:59:51.0

    And I've completed it twice now...:P

    Wish there were more levels

    2008-12-17 17:00:05.0

    The key being to hold back until you have the opportunity to ninja-grab their main base, rather than trying to build up in your own area first.

    2008-12-17 17:15:50.0

    Yeah, exactly.

    2008-12-17 17:16:40.0

    Most times, I don't even build until I have nothing better to do. Wait for them to send out their troops and sneak into their base.

    I just realised it has multi player! Woo hoo!

    2008-12-17 17:17:23.0

    Looks like 14 and 15 can be bested in much the same way - pool all you can muster onto a blob close to their base, then when the time is right unleash hell onto anything they control.

    Once you get the ball rolling, just keep up wave after wave of sudden crushing attacks... the more disproportionate they are the safer the new territory is from quick recapture, and the more you have left to continue a rampage through enemy territory.

    2008-12-17 17:27:28.0

    I haven't had the time to play very much, on 9 as of now.

    2008-12-17 17:27:51.0

    Well whatever level it is, remember the key is to select every blob at once and send everything you have directly at your opponent's stronghold! (reserves are for the weak :P)

    2008-12-17 17:29:48.0

    hahaha Yes!

    Chaaaaargee!

    2008-12-17 17:31:08.0

    That's actually how I play most of the time now.

    2008-12-17 17:34:14.0

    Yeah, just need to get the hang of it

    2008-12-17 17:34:33.0

    No idea how you're supposed to attack 13.

    2008-12-18 15:31:32.0

    Sit on your starting bases for a little bit, build up some strength, then when your opponent's main base sends out some blobs to capture new territory (and it's population dips below the combined strength of your guys by a reasonable margin) mob it with everything you've got.

    2008-12-18 15:35:38.0

    From there you need to be quick on your feet to pull the same trick on any of his other large spots that you can over-run, and shuffle strength back and forward between blobs to avoid them being captured. Whenever a decent number accumulates in any one place pull a sudden blitzkrieg out on a nearby enemy base.

    2008-12-18 15:38:00.0

    I attack straight away. You can afford to let them build up their numbers

    2008-12-18 16:57:11.0

    But... they're too strong at the very start, you'll be hurling futile numbers against a fortified foe

    (yay alliteration :P)

    2008-12-18 18:04:38.0

    I guess you can attack the corners from the start... that seemed to work out ok.

    2008-12-18 18:07:34.0

    Lemme try again

    2008-12-18 18:16:28.0

    Yep, same strategy worked.

    2008-12-18 18:21:00.0

    You hit the top left globule, capture that, then go for the two small ones in the middle top, then the middle one and work your way right

    2008-12-18 18:22:15.0

    Might do a screen cap, might be easier

    2008-12-18 18:22:23.0

    You got past 13?

    2008-12-18 18:26:57.0

    Ja.

    I got this |.| close to getting the upper hand in 15, but they just have too many...

    2008-12-18 18:29:29.0

    Yeah, same deal. Start top left, and move right. And let red attack the middle 100 one. When it's 10, or when red has *just* captured it, attack and get it for yourself

    2008-12-18 18:48:09.0

    'swhat I do.

    2008-12-18 19:07:39.0

    You guys are gonna make me late for work!! thats so addictive!!

    2008-12-19 09:34:26.0

    Wow... still not there eh? Whoa...

    Is there something to be read into this? The one game I have skills in?

    Anyways, I tried to play the multiplayer game, but it was too laggy. Impossible to play. So sad:(
    So I went back to the original and finished it again:P

    2008-12-19 13:41:28.0

    i require video evidence to support your questionable claim...Tongue out

    2008-12-19 14:22:38.0

    Won't a screenshot of all the buttons unlocked do?

    2008-12-19 14:33:59.0

    no.....cos that way i don't get to see how to do it.

    2008-12-19 14:35:06.0

    K, Wait till I get my screen cap act together

    2008-12-19 14:35:49.0

    i've just realised why it is you can do it and i can't....

    ...it's your deksanta alter ego...it has magic-beard powers........

    2008-12-19 14:39:50.0

    Muahahahahaha

    Now to put those powers to bad use

    2008-12-19 17:35:08.0

    Anyways, I tried to play the multiplayer game, but it was too laggy. Impossible to play. So sad:(

    Sheesh.. try playing it on dial-up:(

    2008-12-21 11:35:14.0

    hahahahaha Oops....

    2008-12-21 15:40:56.0

    Nah its ok.. I've been playing that Winterbells game all night while I wait for everything else to load... Sir M might have a good runner soon:P

    2008-12-21 15:47:21.0

    Here's a simple but interesting game:

    Every second counts

    Play it long enough, and you lose ALL sense of time!

    2009-01-28 06:25:22.0

    Umm... I am physically unable to press the button within 0.2 seconds... that's a tiny amount of time, I can have a latency period that long on an online game without really noticing it.

    2009-01-28 06:31:26.0

    I actually got .2 once, on the dot!

    2009-01-28 06:32:43.0

    Hmm... if I just double click as fast as I can, I can get in a lot quicker than 0.2 on the second try, but if I consciously pause for any length of time I go over time.

    2009-01-28 06:39:08.0

    hmm... maybe it's different for me cos I'm on the lappie, so using the buttons on it, not a mouse

    2009-01-28 06:42:50.0

    OOOH... well goddamn, my reading comprehension just sucks ass

    Hold the button _down_ for that length of time

    2009-01-28 06:43:04.0

    Not "click it after that length of time has passed"

    2009-01-28 06:43:21.0

    HAHAHAHAHAHAAH

    2009-01-28 06:43:25.0

    No wonder....

    I couldn't understand why you were complaining so much!

    2009-01-28 06:43:47.0

    Yeah... it's all clear to me now

    made it to 1.8 ...  I still kinda suck at this

    2009-01-28 06:45:05.0

    I found it harder the more I played, like it really messes with your mind when you try and keep track of the seconds

    2009-01-28 06:47:14.0

    I just can't get 2 seconds right.. it's a longer period of time than I expect it to be

    2009-01-28 06:56:59.0

    http://armorgames.com/play/2765/world-wars

    At first I thought this one was just a dumbed down version of Risk that managed to make the game crap by removing necessary features (dividing/moving troops between territories for example), but then I realised it was actually a dumbed down version of Risk that demanded rather different strategy from normal Risk because of noted missing features.

    2009-01-28 07:54:33.0

    missing features indeed.

    2009-01-28 17:35:58.0

    I shall play it tonight

    2009-01-28 22:48:44.0

    I used to love playing Risk, although it was the one boardgame i was crap at:P

    2009-01-28 22:49:11.0

    I love playing 1v1v1v... 8 players.

    You have to psych them out, seeing what the computer would do logically, then use it to your advantage. Especially fun is using one enemy against another.

    Aka: Too easy

    Smile

    2009-01-29 05:12:31.0

    Yeah.. they tend to take the path of least resistance. One thing I use fairly often to get my heavy troops moving (since they tend to build up at the back where I can't use them to attack anything) is leave a big obvious path of 1-strength territories with an 8 at the end. They take the bait, attack their way down the path, and free my jet.

    Also generally deliberately leaving a weak spot to lure them off in another direction (e.g. attacked around the back of their strong point to make them attack that way, towards another enemy)

    2009-01-29 06:03:57.0

    Is there a strategy to this I'm missing?

    I've been playing 2 p, and have been winning thus far

    2009-01-29 07:11:53.0

    Yeah, has anybody been able to make this game difficult?

    2009-01-29 07:14:55.0

    OMG

    I've dreamt about this game before!:O

    Huge deja vu there

    2009-01-29 07:36:14.0

    Yeah, has anybody been able to make this game difficult?

    Not really... I just have low patience - if a turn goes against me I think "nuts to this" and start a new game.

    2009-01-29 10:26:16.0

    I think it's basically Risk optimised for speed of gameplay - everything about it encourages hitting hard and fast rather than moving slowly and strategically.

    2009-01-29 13:13:37.0

    Still, I like it... It's soothing

    2009-01-29 22:24:09.0

    My sixth grade teacher used to play Risk on his computer while we were working... questionable teaching methods...

    2009-01-30 00:51:01.0

    I don't understand that clicking time difference game though...

    2009-01-30 01:02:39.0

    Oh.. yes I do.. my best so far is 2.6

    2009-01-30 01:09:38.0

    Try StringSpin once you get the knack for it, you can create amazing things

    2009-01-30 01:23:00.0

    Ooohhhh That's COOL!

    2009-01-30 03:26:55.0

    I believe they used that on "The Universe".

    Tongue out

    2009-01-31 08:50:31.0

    Is that a movie?

    2009-01-31 09:04:35.0

    hehe... A show on the History channel.

    2009-01-31 09:07:46.0

    There are a lot of good time wasters on dolphincrap.com and addictinggames.com and other such sites. Ones that come to mind are Cursor^10, and this game that I can't remember the name of, where you had to scroll up as fast as you could, then it would change to scroll down... ah, such time-wasting.

    2009-01-31 09:45:25.0

    OMD! I completely forgot if I posted this here before, but it is a sure favourite already for SirM with that bell/bunny obsession.

    Avalanche!!!!!!!!!!

    2009-01-31 10:19:31.0

    33 ft and I give up.

    *waits for Sir M and Morgan and SK to come along with their ridiculously high scores*

    2009-01-31 21:38:42.0

    I has played this game before... but I don't know what my high score was, something ridiculous I'm sure

    2009-02-01 03:21:52.0

    96ft straight off the bat...

    2009-02-01 03:22:36.0

    and I'm fairly sure I once had an epic run culminating in a score of multi-hundreds of feet (400... 600... something like that)

    2009-02-01 03:23:08.0

    I love you too dek :P

    2009-02-01 03:47:40.0

    (463ft screenshot, removed to save the topic length)

    2009-02-01 03:49:07.0

    My highest is 45... will come back to this for sure though..

    2009-02-01 06:20:45.0

    I'll just wait for you guys to post your scores, and then applaud the highest at the end

    2009-02-01 09:32:57.0

    as usual, my first few attempts are on par with dek....Tongue out

    i'm sure i'll get the hang of it soon...

    2009-02-01 11:54:57.0

    Why you....

    2009-02-01 16:32:29.0

    http://quizible.com/quiz/movie-scenes-quiz/1075

    Name the movie from a single scene game.

    I've got 40/100 so far... can't get the exact answer it wants for lord of the rings though, so call it 41. Scratch that, I went back to check, and it seems I already figured it out

    2009-02-01 16:49:17.0

    It is however also not accepting "School of Rock" for the scene from that film... and I don't know why.

    2009-02-01 16:51:14.0

    I've got at least 8 on that list that they won't accept, and another 8 which I know the movie just can't remember the bloody name of it!

    2009-02-01 20:45:08.0

    Yeh, I tried it, and I suck...

    Can't even remember the name of that Pitt and Norton film.

    Damn this memory!

    2009-02-01 22:42:34.0

    i got 60 with 4 more that i should know but can't think of right now...

    2009-02-02 07:11:14.0

    Best I can get so far is 44.1

    2009-02-02 07:21:56.0

    Whoops.. make that 45.2...

    2009-02-02 07:22:59.0

    46.2

     

    2009-02-02 07:36:33.0

    I'll leave the score set at that... until someone beats it:)

    2009-02-02 07:36:53.0

    GOD DAMMIT WOMAN!!!

    how am i supposed to put my computer back together if you keep setting challenges like that???

    GRRRRR!!

    2009-02-02 07:39:20.0

    Something tells me there won't be much fixing going on tonight;)

    2009-02-02 07:41:33.0

    you'd be in so much trouble if you weren't so far away.....

    2009-02-02 07:52:51.0

    Right after that I got 47.1 but though it too small of a difference to warrant the updated information...and I forgot to take a picture anyway..lol

    2009-02-02 08:08:13.0

    I'm not getting much further but this is my best so far:

    It sorta feels like a one-person game at the moment

    C'mon Sir M.... just for a bit!!

    2009-02-02 08:13:54.0

    You're not gonna let a measly '48' do you over are ya???

    (I'm determined to break the 50m barrier before I go to bed)

    2009-02-02 08:18:40.0

    ok....my best so far...*grumble, grumble....stoopid game*

    2009-02-02 08:54:25.0

    To be honest, I reckon it'll be SK who get this one away..

    2009-02-02 08:57:05.0

    I still haven't gotten any further than 48:(

    2009-02-02 08:57:34.0

    I just managed 48.0 ... haven't been able to beat that

    2009-02-02 09:21:30.0

    2009-02-02 09:27:53.0

    Done exactly 48.1 twice now...

    2009-02-02 09:28:06.0

    and a third time...

    2009-02-02 09:29:41.0

    and a fourth... how do I keep throwing exactly the same damn distance

    2009-02-02 09:30:27.0

    just once would be nice.....grrrr!

    2009-02-02 09:31:09.0

    make that five times... this is getting absurd

    2009-02-02 09:34:22.0

    Yeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhh!!!  :P

    2009-02-02 09:44:51.0

    2009-02-02 10:21:40.0

    SirM, which of the films are you missing? If by crazy coincidence our lists were mostly non-overlapping then we'd have them all XP (I'm up to 45)

    (Yes I know it's highly unlikely that our lists are non-overlapping, but I can dream :P)

    Nah. I cross-posted it on another forum, and someone dug up the old topic to tell me that was the answer to 38.

    It's a slow moving forum.. it wasn't buried as deep as it was here.

    2009-03-18 18:41:09.0

    Time for me to go to bed actually.

    2009-03-20 21:46:21.0

    I think I might have a few suggestions...XP

    2009-03-20 23:50:40.0

    Well.......

    We're waiting.....

    2009-03-22 17:50:11.0

    Ok, sufficient time has been wasted on that.

    Next!

    2009-03-22 19:19:24.0

    If you want to kill time efficiently, hook yourself up with a NES emulator (for example Nestopia) and some game ROMs and you'll be set for some retro style gaming.

    Turns out the original Legend of Zelda is pretty unforgiving... give that a go, or the ol' Super Mario Bros. or if you feel like a challenge then Contra is supposed to be an absolute hardass of a game (if you play without using the Konami Code anyway)

    2009-03-23 10:12:57.0

    this is still wasting lots of my time....

    2009-03-23 10:57:22.0

    O      M       D

    :O

    2009-03-23 15:57:50.0

    What number is that???

    2009-03-23 18:34:40.0

    One-thousand-seventy-seven million, six hundred forty-nine thousand, six hundred ninety-one?

    2009-03-23 18:37:05.0

    I dunno.... Just looking at the string of numbers psyches me out

    2009-03-23 19:02:37.0

    i think that qualifies as a billion.....

    ...sounds better that way.

    2009-03-23 22:30:53.0

    No, you are in the UK... a million million is a billion there, whereas in the US it is a thousand million. So unless you want to move, I suggest you keep at it. :P

    2009-03-24 00:03:05.0

    Hm, does Sir M's slip mean the Americans are imposing their style on the UK?  Or does it mean the UK was just putting one over on us the whole time?

    2009-03-24 09:48:41.0

    I'm pretty sure the international standard is on 1000 million being 1 billion...

    2009-03-24 10:28:05.0

    If we're using the old UK system, 1000 million = 1 milliard. Which sounds silly.

    2009-03-24 10:29:09.0

    I forgot about the word milliard.  So would the proper way to say the number in the old system be "one milliard, seventy-seven million, ..."?

    2009-03-24 13:13:11.0

    I suppose so. SK, when did the UK start using 1000 million as a billion?

    2009-03-24 18:49:09.0

    And in that case, what is the correct term for a 'million million' ?

    2009-03-24 18:49:44.0

    I suppose so. SK, when did the UK start using 1000 million as a billion?

    Officially, 1974 (thank you Wikipedia).
    Unofficially, some people still don't :P 

    And in that case, what is the correct term for a 'million million' ?

    That would be 10^12, which is one trillion. 

    2009-03-25 02:21:17.0

    On the "short scale", a thousand of each thing is 1 of the next one up

    one thousand * one thousand = one million
    one thousand * one million = one billion
    one thousand * one billion = one trillion
    one thousand * one trillion = one quadrillion

    and so on, just changing the prefix each time (quintillion, sextillion, septillion, octillion etc)

    2009-03-25 02:24:13.0

    I hate the world for trying to confuse me>:-O

    2009-03-25 04:20:11.0

    trying?

    look like it's succeeding with minimal effort Tongue out

    2009-03-25 08:59:19.0

    Yeah, I'm going to keep using the 'old' terminology... unless i ever have a lot of money that i have the need to tell people how crazily rich I am.

    2009-03-25 16:26:46.0

    In that case, I should never need to bother with anything higher than thousand... good

    2009-03-25 18:35:01.0

    In any case Monty, that is impressive.  You must be the best in the world at that particular game.  Why am I reminded of the Far Side comic with the adverts for jobs "saving the princess"?

    2009-03-26 13:58:10.0

    I dunno, why?

    2009-03-26 14:47:56.0

    You'd get it if I could find it to post...

    2009-03-26 18:29:25.0

    Aha, here we go:

    2009-03-26 18:31:09.0

    hahahahaha I like itXP

    2009-03-26 18:39:29.0

    ROFL!!! That's a great comic!

    Sir M could probably qualify for all of those:P

    2009-03-27 05:23:02.0

    No, you are in the UK... a million million is a billion there, whereas in the US it is a thousand million. So unless you want to move, I suggest you keep at it

    OK..done!  

    2009-04-01 10:12:17.0

    I'm really surprised that the number used for the score in the game goes that high.

    2009-04-01 14:17:41.0

    Might I just say...
    Hoh. Lee. Fuck. Molé.

    2009-04-01 15:42:32.0

    In binary terms, has to be at least 47 bits for the score... most likely it'd be a 64 bit figure, unless you make it past 18446744073709551616 in which case... who knows.

    2009-04-01 15:44:21.0

    I'm suspecting copy/paste/image-tampering...

    2009-04-01 17:33:13.0

    Sir M, I'd like to see a screen-recording :P

    2009-04-01 17:33:59.0

    I'm suspecting copy/paste/image-tampering...

    2009-04-01 22:03:41.0

    See what you did Morgan!

    2009-04-01 22:03:58.0

    Muahuahuahhaaaaa!!!

    2009-04-01 22:04:18.0

    I want a video feed of Sir M at the moment the game ended.  Was he ecstatic over his "accomplishment" or despondent over finally making an error?  Did the computer monitor not survive?  That would explain why we only have a screenshot of the next game....

    2009-04-02 09:02:38.0

    I may have been a little on the not-so-happy side of things.....not because i made an error, but because no matter what i do, the stupid cursor keeps working it's way up the screen, disappears off the play area causing the poor bunny to plummet to it's soft fluffy landing....Yell

    2009-04-02 09:30:46.0

    Yeh.. he's only just trying to keep the bunnies alive...

    2009-04-02 17:31:26.0

    Is it just me, or do the bells get smaller as you go higher?

    I've been playing at work and just got a 4.8m score (nowhere near sir m's) (:P ) but either my eyes are playing tricks on me, or they do actually get smaller.

    Most annoying thing is when I'm up to some absurd (in my terms) score, my phone rings and the bunny falls down Cry

    (yes, they do get smaller... I've just discovered....)

    2009-05-10 23:47:38.0

    have a look on youtube, there are some videos with some obscenely high scores...

    2009-05-11 07:28:50.0

    a slight improvement...

    2009-05-11 10:05:45.0

    Holy....

    Yes, I'm officially out of exclamations

    2009-05-11 16:23:35.0

    Just short of 40 quadrillion points...

    I say 'just" short, it'd take another 6 trillion points to get there, but compared to the overall total, close to 40 quadrillion.

    OMD!:O Just saw the youtube results.....:O :O :O :O :O

    do you go one bell at a time? or mash it like they do?

    2009-05-11 17:34:46.0

    I tend to go one at a time, but they just whizz the mouse around like... wow...

    2009-05-11 17:35:19.0

    I was just giving the game another try... the key really is the birds - hitting bells nets you an extra couple of points per bell for each one you hit, but it's only additive, an arithmetic progression. Frequent doublings of your score will make it grow exponentially, a geometric progression.

    From the highest I've managed (~67 million) to SirM's is about 30 doublings, even without the ongoing arithmetic progression to help it along (and an extra bunch of 10s does build up when you double it that many times) ... quite a way off, but not unbelievably impossible. The numbers just get silly-sized rather quickly because the scores are earned geometrically but counted linearly.

    Trust you to over-complicate things :P

    2009-05-11 18:26:22.0

    I usually start off one at a time, then get bored and start whizzing around.

    2009-05-12 08:04:55.0

    Why do people's eyes start twitching when I explain stuff with maths?

    Numbers grow faster when you double them than when you add to them... s'not that eye-twitch worthy.

    2009-05-12 08:16:11.0

    Mais non! My eyes are going nuts trying to comprehend the number of point you guys are talking about!

    2009-05-12 16:41:07.0

    I'm gonna beat it one day!!

    2009-05-12 17:41:31.0

    I'll just sit back and let my jaw drop

    2009-05-12 18:20:45.0

    Is that swine flying?

    Cos... ummm... hate to point out the obvious....

    Bah, I can't make myself type the cheesy joke

    2009-05-13 07:51:36.0

    Go on....you know you want to......otherwise you wouldn't have mentioned it...

    2009-05-13 07:52:49.0

    You know why I mentioned it?

    I started typing, changed my mind, but was too lazy to delete:P

    2009-05-13 07:54:11.0

    Maybe you can borrow Morgan's new guy to help you....

    2009-05-13 07:56:06.0

    Only if she's already trained him to get coffee

    hehehe

    2009-05-13 07:56:36.0

    How is it that you're too lazy to delete it, but can write about why you did/didn't do it?

    2009-05-13 07:57:07.0

    Cos you keep talking to me about it!!

    2009-05-13 07:57:22.0

    I might be lazy, but least I ain't rude...

    *shrug*

    2009-05-13 07:57:34.0

    thank you, thank you very much

    *would exit stage left, but it's a bit too far*

    2009-05-13 07:58:40.0

    Is it possible to be too lazy to be lazy, in which case you end up doing what you were too lazy to do?

    2009-05-13 07:59:14.0

    geez, no way

    2009-05-13 07:59:33.0

    Aah...so there is a limit to your laziness.

    2009-05-13 08:00:19.0

    Course there is!

    I wouldn't do anything otherwise...

    2009-05-13 08:00:48.0

    Aahh... laziness..... i miss that feeling of just slacking off... lol

    2009-05-13 17:50:45.0

    Me too....

    It's why I wanna go back to uni!

    2009-05-13 19:23:23.0

    Ooh yay, got my computer back... after 6 hours, he finally left... and he's now trained to do his job, so tomorrow he really shouldnt have to sit on my lap any longer

    2009-05-14 00:20:04.0

    You make it sound.... like he's a puppy or something:P

    2009-05-14 00:30:20.0

      Only 6 hours? With your reputation as a slacker, I can't help but wonder how much actual training he got during that time....

    #1. This is my mug.

    #2. If I can see the bottom of it, you're not doing your job properly.

    #3. Um........

    Tongue out 

    2009-05-14 07:21:35.0

    HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Almost true....

    Nah, I was right.. it only took 2 days, but he's driving his own boat today. Still sitting beside me (at his own desk though) so I can go back to doing my own thing (8 hours a day on tangler);) and I can come a-rushing to his aid when he fucks up. (yes, when, not if, because he's so going to balls it today, heheheh)

    Anyway, I'm back for all the fun and games so you don't have to miss me any more :P

    2009-05-14 17:53:42.0

    Wait.... you drive boats?

    2009-05-14 21:01:37.0

    Imaginary ones. Y'know... for when we get up 'that' creek...

    2009-05-14 21:21:32.0

    Funny how I thought it appropriate to use the word 'fuck' but couldnt describe the creek...
