Must not have chick-fil-a around?

I work there because my sister is a manager...


After years of working there...I'll be the first black guy to dislike chicken. It tastes weird after a while. Nothing to crave for.


mehg

Yeah I don't thin k there's a chik-a-fila on this island honestly

We have two chicken places in this town, KFC and Chester fried chicken.

Since you work at chik-a-fila...i gotta ask, have you gotten any **** from people about the gay rights?

 

[TANK64]

speaking of things that are good

have you heard the new tay swift single TANK? it's phenomenal

Actually I JUST heard it for the first time at the gym today (few hours ago).

I liked it... xD

I would be genuinely surprised if he hasn't

lol

I've only heard it on the other end of the phone, and yes still phenomenal.

Btw tank did I tell you about those free tay tay tix I won on the radio once? She sang in the aisle next to us at the concert. She was hugging ppl but I was too far away

What? No you def haven't...

*cries self to sleep*

 

[Battlecow]

yeah I saw the comic

 

[The Star King]

Battlecow is not impressed

 

[Channighan]

[Channighan]

Every time I see FC I keep thinking Finger Cramp. Freaking FGC.


Difficult to breathe with all the salt in the air.

 

[Sangoku]

Mandarin in middle school? Damn I wish I was a kid living there. Also battlecow might be fed up of people mocking his techskill lol.

 

[Channighan]

He'll be aight.

Nah I can take it

Mandarin sounds like a useful language

I took latin

Don't take latin kids

 

[Channighan]

Latin is a dead language and it's only useful if you want to understand Sephiroth's theme.

 

[Surri-Sama]

Sounds cool lol

For some reason i thought Latin was used in operas, but i think im just crazy...as it turns out most opera is Italian.

 

[Channighan]

Italy is one of those "I can smooth talk you" languages.

 

[The Star King]

Nah I can take it

Mandarin sounds like a useful language

I took latin

Don't take latin kids

OK maybe everyone thinks "gah why did I take this language" after taking it

But don't take Japanese kids, and for the same reason, Chinese.

Reason: Kanji. **** Kanji. Alphabets >>>>>>> Pictograms

 

[Channighan]

Yeah, apparently Kanji is hard as balls (like, High School people still learn Kanji? Like wtf is that lol)

Hiragana and Katakana are easy to learn though.

 

[Battlecow]

Yeah mandarin's hard and latin is easy

but one is useful and the other is a complete ****ing waste of time

 

[Channighan]

And you didn't know this beforehand because?

 

[Battlecow]

I didn't have wise old 18-year-olds telling me the ways of the world like you do, you lucky kid.

 

[Channighan]

But I knew not to take Latin like 4 years ago.

 

[Battlecow]

To be perfectly honest, I never chose latin. I think I asked for French. Got assigned to latin because nobody else wanted to take it either and they had to fill the class.

 

[Channighan]

Lol I failed French cuz I said "screw this project."

 

[asianaussie]

mandarin is amazing

because of it i can read most kanji too, which is fun because people who actually study japanese are always moaning about kanji being hard and im just like 'lol u'

still dont know all my katakana tho

comic #2 coming soon, tank will have a starring role, gio will also cameo briefly (again), first 2 people to volunteer get to be background characters

 

[Han Solo]

Well, I guess I volunteer.

 

[ciaza]

I VOLUNTEER

cccc

 

[Channighan]

Dammit, Chann volunteers.

 

[TANK64]

I scared and excited xD

 

[Olikus]

i make comics for a living so i should get starring role in the next comic^^

 

[asianaussie]

sorry bro, would rather give up anime than have a platypus in one of my comics

 

[prisonchild]

Yeah mandarin's hard and latin is easy

but one is useful and the other is a complete ****ing waste of time

wouldn't it help your english somewhat?

 

[Channighan]

Perry is overrated.

 

[Sangoku]

But don't take Japanese kids, and for the same reason, Chinese.

I'm learning chinese on my own, including writing and I didn't have to (couldn't anyway) take that course to do it. Maybe some people might enjoy japanese/chinese, so you shouldn't advice them not to take it.

Also writing chinese is the easy part. I mean in any language, the alphabet isn't the hard part. For us western, chinese "alphabet" sure is an additional barrier, but definitely not the hardest part. I've reached the point where I can read (ie pronounce) a lot of things in chinese without having a clue what it means. So I wouldn't call chinese more difficult than latin. Latin's grammar is the ****ing ****. Like we think french and italian are complex (with almost 20 verb tenses for example), but latin is even worse.

Also, I don't think learning latin because it helps another language is a good reason to do so. If you invest the time spent on latin on that other language, you'd speak even better. You really should learn latin if you're interested in the foundations of latin-based languages.

 

[Channighan]

OR

if you wanna good video game OST.

 

[asianaussie]

the best videogame OSTs are either instrumental or engrish

persona 3 \o/

Toehoe ?

 

[asianaussie]

technically they're doujin games, but yea they're good too

it's good music but it all sounds the same after several hours of listening

this coming from someone who has something close to 15gb of touhou music

 

[The Star King]

wah? doesn't doujin mean fanwork?

if "all sounds the same" means "it's all equally godlike" then yeah sure

 

[SSBPete]

Yeah mandarin's hard and latin is easy

but one is useful and the other is a complete ****ing waste of time

ive always wanted to learn latin but never had the chance

this is coming from someone who's two favorite subjects are pure mathematics and philosophy, so uselessness isn't really an issue

 

[asianaussie]

wah? doesn't doujin mean fanwork?

if "all sounds the same" means "it's all equally godlike" then yeah sure

you try listening to a mixed touhou playlist on shuffle for 5~ hours, it will start blending together, even though i can pick most tracks by name

doujin means that it's done more for fun than for profit, as evidenced by the fact that, despite touhou's absolutely staggering popularity, the only endorsed non-game media are a series of manga and some music remix cds (i think there might be more stuff, but idk)

 

[Surri-Sama]

Most of yous probably wont agree but UFC 2009 had the best sound track of all time. Wasn't original music though


IMO


Also random question, does anyone know how to stream on youtube?
