Are you still doing the pregnant thing? Cuz, I was thinking I'd like that to be my thing for a while.

This is how West Side Story dancing gang fights get started.

Ha. I remember that photo now. Man, I was so high when that was taken.

This man actually foiled an assassination attempt of President Lincoln. Then he moved on to more dastardly work. I'm standing to the left of you. Who knew we were so close?

That's quite a dashing look for you. Reminds me of someone.

Jesus-on-a-stick, I really hope you're just pulling my leg with these bucketloads of absurd.

Oh boy, you really haven't thought it through once, have you?

You honestly have got be kidding me.

You're in dire need of some socializing if you think none of that comes off as insulting.

And actually, BSG showed a steady decline in ratings over the years.

In reply to this comment by EDD:
Insults? Where?

I'm fine, thank you, and I apologize if I offended you in any way. I merely wanted to point out things which irked me regarding what I perceive are overrated TV-shows. Feel free to return the 'favor'

Quite ironically, yes. BSG is one of such shows. I bet there are a few more, but yeah, naturally, most shows end after they've peaked.

True. As is the nature of television. Can you name me a show where viewership didn't decline over the years?

more people have tuned out of watching Lost than are still tuning in.

Yea, it's called "Fringe." As in fringe science. As in things that are not quite science. As in pseudoscience. I'm sorry that you've lost your ability to just sit back and enjoy something without overthinking it. But I'm certain many science-respecting individuals can enjoy something that is obviously not meant to be taken as gospel - Also known as fiction.

And sorry, but no, I don't see any paradoxes so far. It's stated very clearly in the show that the timeline has always occurred in this particular manner. That they always went back in time and always shaped the future. You want time travel conundrums, look to the Terminator series. Those are full of holes. Do you suck the fun out of those, too?

But seriously, fuck you, dude. You may disagree with me, but to come over to my profile and hurl insults is really lame. Lighten up and enjoy some TV.

I made it private because I genuinely thought you weren't being serious and that you might want to keep up the appearance. Actually, a part of me still hopes you're being over-the-top absurd just to have a go at me. If not:

"Fringe is another terrific show."
You honestly have got be kidding me. Haven't you ever tried looking past the characters - yes, some of them might be mildly to very interesting (Ben Linus and Walter Bishop in Fringe), but almost everything else apart from CGI and production values completely sucks in those shows, there's just no denying it. I mean, come on, no science-respecting individual could like what Fringe is doing, which is advertising pseudosciences and shitting on top of actual science all the damn time.

"Usually time travel opens up plot holes, but here it is done very well."
Oh boy, you really haven't thought it through once, have you? Lost has the same paradox going on that was oh-so-evident in the Harry Potter books - they've made it so that events that are occurring currently (NOW) are supposedly shaping the past, which in turn shapes recent history (which leads to the NOW). It's a paradox for a reason, which means, even if any of the theorized time-travel were possible, that's exactly what would never, ever occur. And saying "it's destiny" isn't making sense out of time-travel, it's copping-out and side-stepping any explanations to pander to the intellectually-challenged, pure and simple.

Jesus-on-a-stick, I really hope you're just pulling my leg with these bucketloads of absurd.

Fool! I've never been had!

I thought I'd have had you at gadzookery!

Did you just force me to google the word "descartian?"

In reply to this comment by schmawy:
Did you just bust a Descartian move on me?

That's what you think.

In reply to this comment by schmawy:
Still working on that, but to a large degree I'm a designer in New England with a penchant for gadzookery.

Ah yes, but who are you?

In reply to this comment by schmawy:
Well at least I know you're not Blankfits.

Nice job on getting it to the Top 15. Don't worry too much about the title - You got it right in the end.

>> ^Deano:
Yeah a better title would help as it's a very good submission. This might help - promote


I already changed it to something I thought was better. I'm a title-tard, apparently. Thanks for the promote!

Heh heh. I'd kill for your scores right about now. They didn't even have me do pull-ups, because I had spent the prior day in the recruitment office doing peck flies all day long. That's because I couldn't even do one. My arms were/are just dead. After that, I did a whopping 41 crunches. And I don't even wanna share my 1.5 mile time. I'll say this - I was third last.

In reply to this comment by MarineGunrock:
Don't worry about it. My IST was something like, 5 pull-ups, 74 crunches and a barely passing three mile run. After boot camp, though, those numbers shot way up. As long as you can pass the IST, you'll be fine.

And yeah, you should go intel. Any MOS in intel would be good. HUGE bonuses and shit, ya know? Just remember that you don't get to pick an MOS, you can only pick the field.(You can't pick 0231, but you can get 02xx, you follow?)

And let me give you a solid piece of advice. Boot Camp is easy. All you have to do is exactly what you're told to do. Simple, No?

I was intrigued by Intelligence Specialist. The basics of the research and analysis are reminiscent of the work I used to do in high school forensics.

That is, if I can ever get to boot. Just now got back from an IST. My recruiter's disappointed. Let's just say I did pretty fucking pathetic.

In reply to this comment by MarineGunrock:
Oh yeah? What MOS are you shootin for?

I hate you.

Wow, what a tangled web of account fueled drama I weave in your world.

You will find yourself pregnant within the next few days. I will not even have to touch you - I'm that potent.

I still remain unconvinced you're not thinker's new identity, which has simply surfaced before the other one has had time to self-destruct properly, and that on top of it, he/you are karaidl-reincarnate.

Still, I want to have your babies regardless of said mystery.
