I only heard one polka of his. it was from Wayne's World.I can't recall the name of it.

[nickmitch]

Get your life together. By which I mean, listen to more of them. You'll be better off for it.

[NWR_insanolord]

I like the polkas that have a theme, like the one that's all Rolling Stones songs, and the one that's the entire song of Bohemian Rhapsody in polka form.

[BeautifulShy]

Yeah that was the one I was thinking of Insanolord.
So what is everybodys favorite author?
I like Edger Allan Poe and Michael Crichton.

[NWR_insanolord]

I have a lot of favorite authors (Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, Douglas Adams) but I figure if I'm going to pick one for this I should go with the guy whose photo I use for my avatar, John Swartzwelder. In addition to writing more episodes of The Simpsons than anyone else (59) and being the best at it, he's written 5 (so far) comedic novels. "How I Conquered Your Planet" and "The Exploding Detective" are two of the funniest things ever.

[nickmitch]

Roald Dahl.

[BeautifulShy]

I went and checked on that name Nickmitch because his name was unfamiliar to me but his works are. Great writer!Thank you for reminding me of him.

[nickmitch]

No problem. It's what I do.

It's a shame we won't hear about these from him anymore.
So what was wandering like?

[nickmitch]

Well, he was kinda like all of us.  Or, at least, who we all needed to be there, deep down, secretly, in the depths of our hearts.

[EasyCure]

he smelled REALLY bad (appearantly)

also he didnt have any good post from what i've heard, i'd usually just skip over his.

[UltimatePartyBear]

I sometimes wonder if my attempt to make light of his trollish thread about Wii review scores really was the last straw for him, but I honestly can't give myself that much credit.  I think I merely reminded him that he once threatened to leave when he reached 5000 posts, which in turn gave him the idea to self destruct for the attention.  I also think we haven't seen the last of him.  Chances are high that at least one of his dupes is still actively posting.

[BeautifulShy]

Probably, but who?

[animecyberrat]

I thought he stopped posting so much after I got him banned for bringing me back the first time and then there was all that drama surrounding his banning that things went like all crazy. That was me being stupid cuz I didn't like pretending to be him pretending to be me.

Have you had any thing stolen from you?I had my Super Game boy taken from me,3 N64's,my first collection of 25 games, and about 1000 dollars in my lifetime.

[bustin98]

I had some comics stolen from me. One in particular was Sandman #1 signed by Neil Gaiman to me. 13 years later I still weep sometimes. Really though, that was one irreplaceable item.

[EasyCure]

Oh yeah, a few times. I remember each in lots of detail too, especially that violated feeling you get plus the anger.

The first time i was about 5 or 6. Our family lived in an apartment house and we (my brother and i) were good friends with the upstairs neighbors. One night we went to a family parth that was actually directly across the street from us where our aunt lived and when we came back our room was slightly trashed and my brother noticed some of our stuff missing.

He accused the kids upstairs, our "friends", saying that they snuck in thru the window because it was open when we arrived home but closed when we had left. Our parents took us up there and explained the situation, their parents brought them out and they admitted to what they did. My brother got back our NES games and a couple of his TMNT action figures but the one thing of mine that i couldnt find wasn't returned. The lil brat was holding out on me and no one would listen. The item? It was the Bat Plane/Jet whatever it was called. It was an awesome little toy back when toys could be made of METAL. It was super durable with only a few scratches in the paint from the few times i'd dropped it. I loved that thing as well as my other Batman toys but that was my favorite.

The only other significant time i remember getting something stolen was in highschool. I was in PE at the time, but i wasn't playing because i was ill. I did however change into shorts (no, not gym shorts) so i could get a "participating" mark for the day but after a few mins of sitting on the bench i decided to go back and get my wallet out of my jeans which i left in the locker. When i did there was one other guy in the locker room and he saw where my locker was...

I get my wallet, go back out there and then decide to go back to the locker room and get get my cd player. From across the room i see my locker open... everything was missing, and by everything i mean my jacket, my jeans and my cd player. My first reaction was to punch the locker, which startled someone who walked in a few seconds after me and went to the bathroom. He comes out of the bathroom and was like "yo.. is that your **** in the bathroom? Theres like some clothes toss around in there." I go and in the last stall my jacket is hanging over the stall and my jeans are on top of the toilet with a pant leg dangerously close to being dunked in toilet water.

Inside my jacket was my headphones, which were ripped, probably because they yanked the cd player they were attached to out of the pocket and the headphones got stuck (it was a weird pocket). Blah..

I went to the PE 'teacher' and told him the situation, his response was "well the schools not responsible because you shouldnt of had it [the walkman] in school anyway." I tried to argue that it was the schools fault for not supplying locks for the fucking lockers.. There was no combination pad, there was no external lock/combo given to you it was just a rusty lil cubbin in a wall, half of which never even closed properly.

The worst part of it all? I couldn't even tell who the guy was, the one that saw me go in my locker and get my wallet out, because i didnt see his face and he probably wasn't even part of my class, just some kid that decided to come play basketball with his friends.

I can't remember much from people stealing from me, but I do recall this.One of my N64 systems( I had 3) got stolen while I was going to March Air Force base.I was in the middle of Ocarina of Time. I was doing the planting of seeds in those holes. When I got back My 64 and all my games were gone. I had Mario Kart 64 Vigilante 8, Turok 2:Seeds of Evil, No Mercy and Ocarina of Time. I was upset to say the least. I loath stealers.

This one time I was visiting New York and I found a car in a parking lot with a GameCube and a whole bunch of games stuffed in a backpack.  Needless to say, I broke into that **** and stole the whole load.  I even managed to snag copies of Pokemon Colosseum and Box.  But since Pokemon is for babies I sold them to GameStop for like 8 bux each.

I also got an amp and some subs that I gave to my neighbor in exchange for some crack.

[EasyCure]
