Post Race!

[Shaggy Hiker]

By the way, though there is an element of truth in that previous statement, not a single word or concept is what I was actually doing. Still, it was a bit of an homage to something that nobody has likely ever heard of.

[Witis]

Fish fingers and toes - I'd definitely buy some of the exotic type made from wahoo. :-9

[Witis]

Or from any other delectable species of fish.

[Shaggy Hiker]

All of chit-chat appears moribund.

[dday9]

Moribund?

[Shaggy Hiker]

Word of the DDay!

[dday9]

Lol. I think I should start a new thing... Word of the DDay.

[Gruff]

One DDay at a time.

These are the DDay's of our lives.

DDay of the walking dead!

[dday9]

Gruff, everytime I see your name, I think in my head:

"Scruff McGruff, Chicago Illinois, 60652"

[Shaggy Hiker]

I just saw Guardians of the Galaxy.

Therefore...Rocket!

[dday9]

I just saw Guardians of the Galaxy.

Therefore...Rocket!

Was it good? I'm kind of skeptical going off previews alone.

[Gruff]

I saw it as well. Flat out knocked my socks off. (Raccoons Rock! *Grin*)
I liked the humor and the acting. Rocket is a relative you know.
We're related through my auntie boom boom's niece. Fresca.

[Shaggy Hiker]

I liked it. Lots of wacky humor and strange references along with an action packed plot. I still haven't quite figured out the scene after the credits are finished: Was that Howard the Duck? Is he a Marvel character?

[Gruff]

Marvel has always written their comic books in one universe.
References are made to other characters on a regular basis.

Even though I've never read a Guardians of the Galaxy comic book I picked up on the characters Thanos and Rhonan.
The Cree (A galaxy spanning race.) and so on.

I expect the next G.O.T.G. movie to at least reference Marvel's 'Captain Marvel' who was a Cree soldier before settling on earth.

Howard the Duck. What a let down. Yes he had his own Marvel comic book for a short while.
Marvel tried different oddball offshoots at one time or another. (Millie the Model comes to mind.)

[Shaggy Hiker]

I think it's spelled Kree, and for a reason. After all, they probably don't want to conflict too much with the Cree tribe.

[Gruff]

You would know better than I. It has been a decade or more since I read them.
(The Kree not the cree. You ever try to read a cree's face when he's being inscrutable?)

[Shaggy Hiker]

I don't know all that well, I just remember seeing the spelling in a single word in the movie, though I forget where. The reason it stuck with me is that the week before I was counting salmon redds with a Cree-Apache who was working for either the Shoshone-Bannock tribe or the Nez Perce tribe.

[Witis]

You can't stop the post race. =)

[Witis]

Heh \(^.^)/

[dday9]

I never understood the Cybermen, it must be way before my time.

[Gruff]

Actually the rebooted Dr who series went into great depth on the origins of the Cyber men.
The later rebooted shows were much better than the earlier ones.

Basically they were humans stripped of all emotion and humanity encased in powered armour.
Because they believed they were the ultimate in perfection they launched a war to convert the entire planet to cyber men by brute force.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Gee, another religious war. Just what the planet needs.

[dday9]

I had a fun birthday yesterday. My wife and I ate at Outback and then we went bowling with some friends. Of course we were in bed by 10, but that's the joy of having a baby.

[Shaggy Hiker]

I've got no puns worth making about that, so I'm going out, and will be back.

[Gruff]

Going out Pun shopping?


Highlander quote: There can be only Pun!

[Shaggy Hiker]

My sister has a button that reads "I have a punning clan"

It's so true.

[Gruff]

I won a purple nurple heart in the Pun-ic wars so basically you do not know me unless you've pun a mile in my shoes.

[berny22]

When was this forum created? XD

[dday9]

This thread dates back to the year 2000.

[Shaggy Hiker]

The forum dates even further back, though not much further. There was also the Great Crash that wiped out lots of early threads, along with the post counts for most of those people. I'm not sure when that happened, but people were still discussing it when I joined up.

[Gruff]

Ah yes. The great crash.
We used to wear an onion on our belts.
(Which was the style at the time.)
White ones. couldn't get the red ones cause of the war...
*Gruff wanders off aimlessly mumbling*

[dday9]

Red onions... Ha! I use to sell those on the black market making 450 republican credits per bulb!

[RSINGH]

Hey, this is still going! You young 'uns don't know the half of it...

[Shaggy Hiker]

I sold them for French currency, to be franc. I got more when I sold them in German currency, due to the mark-up. I also sold them for rubles without scruples, but didn't sell to the Japanese, because the yen I didn't ken. I wanted to sell in Albania, because I lek them, a lot, but went to Algeria, instead, for dinar, before keeping it real in Brazil. Naturally, the Bulgarians purchased with some lev-ity.

By the time I reached the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, I was feeling sick, so I sold some for their currency, which made me feel better (due to the dram, I mean). Then the Thai's came up to bhat, but I took the South African cash and rand with it, instead.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Wow, there's an old....face like thing.

[Gruff]

Euro gotta be kidding me?

[Shaggy Hiker]

That pun was totally money.

[FunkyDexter]

Now that was some stirling punning. You're really pounding 'em out. I'd join in but I can come up with Naira one.

[Shaggy Hiker]

I was just going with the flow. It was the current, see?

[dday9]

I've updated my VB.Net tutorial website. The 'lessons' tab is a bit different.
