That's called over training, which is a very...stupid (for lack of a better word) thing to do.

Well, thanks for telling me. I never would have known.

I rather dislike the "The [Insert Interest Type Here] Thread" thing. This goes for music, books, and movies. The music thread is a better example, because it actually worked. Books, not so much. Movies, a thread destined for failure. If there is a movie worth discussing, its discussion will be dismantled in a mega-thread like that. An individual topic for various movies is not something that is a problem. It keeps discussions organized and on-track. A big thread for all movies is just going to reduce activity on the board. Movie threads are posted frequently, and they do have good discussions. There is no reason why a thread for all movies is needed. Books is different, as rarely is there ever a book thread, dedicated to one book.

I think users should be discouraged from making these genre threads on their own accord. Staff should be analyzing the impact of threads on the board, and if necessary, making a thread to increase activity or regulate out-of-control discussions. Movies is the opposite of this. It causes more problems than it solves (Number of problems with movie threads: 0; number of problems "The Movie Thread" solves: 0).

Your abs are a muscle, when you work them you're tearing them, and they need time to heal.

I can also imagine that at least half were not executed well (especially in comparison to say, the first 30).

I'm annoyed coz I'm sun-burnt (It is summer down here for the uneducated)...I'm also annoyed after reading the SOTW thread coz shit hit the fan (again)...

This'll be my last post for a while. Today at swim practice I got my ipod touch stolen, and my dad thinks I can't be responsible for my own stuff, so he took everything away. Computer, phone, TV, everything. So don't bother PM'ing me or anything for a long time. I have to type fast because my dad's coming down soon, and he's going to take my computer. So have fun without me, tell me what I missed when I come back. Signing off.

Adios, 0m3g4Muff1n987.

By the way, it would've been much more cool had you made your typing sloppier as the time went on you were typing. Therefore symbolizing how your dad was coming, adding to the drama of the post.
But that's just me

Anyway, not much point to that, since you won't see it.

My rant:

I don't have one yet... but it's coming...

You're not obligated to post a rant. This is a forum, and there is discussion to be had which does not pertain 100% to the topic's purpose, especially in a thread like this...

Good to know.

That's what you get for having good weather almost year round!

Oregon sucks, it rains all the time (I like it, just not when school is in session)

ENJOY YOUR SUN AND HEAT

I like the heat, kind of, but during summer, it is my mortal enemy. It gets to like 142 degrees during summer!!! /sarcasm

Did your sensor bar get unplugged or moved somehow?

Well, investigate as much as you can before buying a new controller, just to be safe.

Edit:

I can't **** sleep because I'm **** scared to death. I think my house is haunted.

My bed started shaking, then my gh3 controller fell (it was leaning on the wall), then I heard a deep manly voice call my name. So, since I'm not sleeping at all today, who wants to talk on aim/msn/yahoo? Seriously, I NEED someone to talk to.
