Re: Random Thought Thread haha, wow. Reminds me of Transformers, with that annoying dude from the cell phone company.</p> I always love the female telemarketers, you can start hittin on em n askin em on dates.</p>
Re: Random Thought Thread A lot of times I let them talk and talk, me just saying, hm hmm, ok, and..... and then two or three minutes into the conversation turning off the phone. lol</p>
Re: Random Thought Thread haha yeah thats a great idea actually. I don't think I've ever heard a telemarketer hanging up before. Aren't they supposed to stay through thick or thin to make the sale?</p>
Re: Random Thought Thread WTF did I just hear Swish got banned?!?! For how long? Jesus.</p> Oh man, sorry guys, but I'mgonna stop posting here much after this. I might come and post oncein a while if I feel like it, but my heart's not in the place...I don't really enjoy posting as much on here as I do on JBB. That's not a knock on the merger, nor on S2 in general, it's just a wierd change for me specifically.The merger was quite extensive yes, but it kinda knocked off the closeness of the JBB community. I miss the old JBB days to be honest. I think everyone does, but I don't know, this place is way too large to have a "close" community in my opinion.</p> Anyways guys good luck with everything, I'll come around some times and perhaps read thru the RTT for fun, but yeah, that's it for me for now. See you guys in the summer probably.</p> BRING BACK JBB! (that smiley commanddoesn't even work on here I believe)</p> And hey NTC, I'm glad to hear that your skin is better. Stick to it man, despite the nosebleeds cause I'm sure your confidence has risen ten folds since your face cleared up completely. I think during my whole time on JBB, you were probably the one I could relate to the most in terms of personal stories, experiences, etc (from girls to dealing with skin ahhaa), but yeah, good luck with everything bro.</p> Later guys.</p>
Re: Random Thought Thread Yeah definatley man, plus a year of gym under the belt, confidence has skyrocketed.</p> I'mgettingpumpedupfortheravetonight,justdidalineofX</p>
Re: Random Thought Thread I spent two hours reading through everything.</p> Here are some conclusions I've come to.</p> I really appreciate the support and understanding from you guys about our decision to merge with S2.</p> In hindsight, maybe we should have discussed more about guideline and policy changes. I assumed everyone would come into this merger with a new outlook on how to create a community and we eventually adopt some new guidelines and policies based on what the majority wanted. I didn't realize it would cause a divide amongst our staff, and that the rigid guidelines at JBB were held in such high regard.</p> I didn't tolerate spammers or people disrespecting other members, but I also tried to keep a lax environment in the Lakers forum and of course OT. As the site matured like Hunter mentioned and the people became closer and personalities became accepted and familiar, the less editing and enforcing was needed at JBB.</p> Coming into S2 I felt a need to just step back and let everything marinate between all the communities, new members and staff. Having progressive discussions and ideas flow with new perspectives and input on what were successful at other communities was something I was very much looking forward to at S2.</p> I think the difference and frustration arising comes from not accepting change and realizing things like this take time before you start seeing the changes you want made. I'm willing to stick it out and be apart of those changes and also compromise with the rest of the community and build something the community wants instead putting my foot down, being unreasonable and then lashing out when I don't get what I want.</p> If I felt the direction of the site was something I didn't want to be a part of I would not stick around and post here. I felt the direction of the site was something contrary to what JBB membes wanted I wouldn't stick around here either. But I'm having a hardtime figuring out what JBB members want because there seems to be mixed messages every other day.</p> I've spent time on Instant Messenger trying to convery this notion of being patient. There's a lot of improvement that can be made at S2. We all agree on this, but you have to reasonable on the timeline of when things will get done. Look at the slogan of the site. For sports fans by sports fans. I am here to serve the fans of this site. I do this by updating the daily headlines, getting involved with discussions. I am on S2 to talk about sports and read other peoples views. If members need help on how to find something or do something on the site I'll be the first to figure it for them or with them. If there a good suggestions to adopt then I'm all for it, but again it's a process for those suggestions to get implemented. If they aren't implemented right away that doesn't mean people aren't listening to you, if people don't initially agree with that suggestion it doesn't mean they don't like you or aren't listening.</p> I respect everyone of you and I hope you guys see where this is coming from and see where the site is heading.</p> See you all on the boards</p> - Shapecity</p>

Blood will be lost, it just depends if it goes into a tissue or down your throat into your esophagus. Isn't it a bad idea to ingest quantities of blood?</p> </p>
Re: Random Thought Thread Maaan, the Rave last night was THE SHIT! My favourite hardstyle DJ The Prophet (one of the best in the world) is down here at the moment, and he played, was crazy. Wasnt as packed as I thought it would be, but still real wicked. I spent the whole night hooking up with one of my friends too, crazy times, finger fucked her on the dance floor and at the booth and then she gave me a hand job. I was holding her up pinned against the wall making out with her at one stage too, haha, was awesome. Came very close to fucking her at the booth, which would've been the stuff of legends, lol, and a fantasy of mine I've always wanted to fulfill (doing a girl in a nightclub) . I had one and a half pills, so I was pretty happy needless to say, haha. I took some pics and videos, i'll post them tomorrow when I get home.</p>

Re: Random Thought Thread Does he have a website or do you have some youtube links? I've always liked Donald Glaud and Sasha/Digweed. How does he compare to them?</p>
Re: Random Thought Thread ALOT harder, lol. www.theprohet.nl is his website I think, if not you can youtube some of his songs / performances to get an idea. He was sick. Headhunterz played also who are another real good Hardstyle act from the Netherlands.</p>

Re: Random Thought Thread On the topic of Telemarketers:</p> I make them repeat their whole thing. (Excuse me, can you repeat that?)</p> Then I ask them if they could repeat paragraph 2</p> Then Line 3 of paragraph 2</p> Then word 4. I then ask for an alternate pronounciation. Then I ask for a definition. Then I spell it. "Alright, let me try this. The T. H. E. The Do I win the prize?)</p>
