George, learn to check your facebook. I wanted to know if you ended up getting that job or if it's still up in the air.

Heh, also, Fro, are you getting destroyed yet by the females' enforced dress code over there? Tsk, tsk, tell King Abdullah that he's doing it wrong.
i posted back and said i find out tomorrow u wob

first off, get *****.

Now, I don't judge people taking relatively easier majors, but i confess I was a bit jealous when my communication major roomy last year was getting high every day, partying like 5 times a week, getting straight A's. While i was pulling all nighters and getting C's in o-chem. :( (to be fair i did the procrastinate-cram combo from time to time)
Dude i had a random dream that it was like a smashfest or something and I had said "jew" for some reason or another and you gave me a dirty ass look

I would be impressed with any liberal arts student who can party all week and still get straight B's... let alone straight A's. Perhaps this has more to do with the quality of Purdue's liberal arts programs than with liberal arts majors as a whole. Purdue is after all, an engineering school.
qft. I know that business majors are somewhat looked down upon here at Purdue, too. But my high school friends who go to IU say that the business majors look down on the engineering majors there because the course loads are pretty much the opposite. I am a Purdue student, so everything I said was from that perspective.

As far as the relative usefullness of liberal arts subjects, I can go along with history. Literature, though, that's going to be a tough sell.

Liberal arts is also more than just history, literature and drawing. I'm going into communications and advertisement with a minor in computer graphics and chinese. Basically, there are all sorts of things you can do with liberal arts as far as mixing and matching goes because of the smaller course load compared to engineering or the like. This way, you can basically combine a bunch of majors/minors to get the exact plan of study that you want, something you surely can't do as easily with engineering and such.

Also,

Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.
Postulate 2: Time is Money.
As we all know,

Work
---------- = Power
Time

and since Knowledge = Power, and Time = Money, we have:

Work
-------- = Knowledge
Money

when we solve for "Money", we get:

Work
------------ = Money
Knowledge

Thus, as "Knowledge" approaches zero, "Money" approaches infinity.
From this, we can conclude that the less you know, the more you will make.

AKA actors and football players

No offense to anyone :p

I laft.

He's actually been trying to do it right, but it's pretty tough.

One advantage to being here, though? Awesome, AWESOME food! I've been gorging on the most amazing food since I've gotten back!

I also managed to sneak a copy of Watchmen past Saudi customs. If they'd actually looked at it, they would have confiscated it for nudity.

Maybe you should stop failing classes, and you wouldn't have to john all summer.
i have johns on why i failed the class: it was my teachers first year teaching, and it was an honors class, and i didnt fail it i just have to have a c+ average so i can go to pre-calc




also i found a funny chaingrab with ic's, (if fox doesnt di i think) dthrow -> nana uptilt -> grab out of uptilt, fox gets stuck in place, and you can grab him out of it, hit him with downB, then do it again
at low percent i downthrow -> downB -> grab then at about 60 i start oldschool dair chaingrab or uptilt, if they di through you they get hit, if they di away use dair or something idk

Dunno if you guys have seen this, but its pretty cool; http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=237291
Heh, it looks like Scott in particular is going to have a field day with this, what with finding crazy glitches (within the glitch itself, lol) and all.

If they'd actually looked at it, they would have confiscated it for nudity.
Hmmm, does this mean that customs wouldn't accept Busty Virgins Exposed (or whatever the name of the program was that we saw listed on the preview channel) either?

The kirkq fanboy
I lol'ed when I read this. Heh, he does kinda have a cult following, doesn't he?

Psh, July 2nd? Make it July 1st so that you can bring me lots of presents when you come up! :bee::bee::bee:

*shakes head at future Master Hand mains*

And Goose, they just might make an exception for hardcore pornography, seeing as they would make a fuss over a little tit showing.

Also, Scott, I definitely have an early issue Melee disc. Want me to bring it so you could practice the glitches that were exclusive to that?

I'm also feeling a little Dew-deprived right now. I haven't played Smash with ANYONE but my 'Cube since getting back.

Dude, with Masterhand, when you do the laser move once, it keeps firing during every other animation, mad wierd.

I think I will be a devoted Masterhand main and go only MH in tourneys for now on.

LOLOLOL You guys crack my **** up!

:confused: So they would or wouldn't have a problem with it? :confused: Maybe I'm just reading that sentence incorrectly. Heh, on second thought, nvm. It's not even important, lol.

I know, dud. It's always fun hanging out with you, well, at least for like 97% of the time (thinking of the frequent but brief issues that playing Smash with you provides :p:p:p), and it sucks that it won't be for another couple of months (especially since the Summer is the ideal time to do so).

Also, George and Jay, are you guys able to come down this weekend? George, I remember what you said about no more tourney traveling, but here's hoping.

*EDIT*

Woot! First post for the 400th page.

You perpetually confused fowl....Goose, I was sarcastically pointing out that they WOULD have a problem with it. My cousin got fined about $530 for having music videos with topless women in them. That was years ago, but I don't think they would've been too happy with what I had, either. Woot for late flights and uninterested customs officers!

Also, I've started a new playthrough on Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door.

For any remote chance of any soccer fans in the house, the FIFA Confederations Cup, an 8-team tourney starring the champions of each continent, as well as Italy as world champs, starts tomorrow. FORZA ITALIA!

Ah, gotcha. I'm usually pretty good at detecting sarcasm. :/

Sweet. Goombella all the way. Oh, and here's a little tip: don't step on Zest-T's contacts cause he'll get pissed.

Zzzzzz. I'm sorry, what now? :p Heh, but then again, thanks to that Nine Irish Brothers place, I'm kinda getting hooked on it (we went again last weekend).

Heh, so I was helping my dad at work today and some Mexican guy shows up and although he was speaking English (at least I think), I couldn't understand a friggin' word he was saying! I don't remember how or why the conversation got to where it had, but apparently, after asking him to repeat himself for the umpteenth time, "bacation" equates to "vacation". I swear, those guys are just plain silly.

1. Get rolled.

2. It's ZESS T. , and "he" is a woman. Ironically, that's the part I JUST saved after! :laugh:

Also, Goombella helped me roll the hell out of everything. Powered up head bonk on zero defense enemies = HUGE DAMAGE!

Also also, I can't seem to get the Master Hand thing to work despite my Melee copy here being as early as they can get. At least, I definitely bought it in '01 very closely after Saudi stores first imported the 'Cube.

Summer Super Smash Battle Opera X

Sorry for the late update, but I thought we might not have been able to have this, but we *can*, however KSO will still have to go to work in the early hours of the morning so during that time goosefactor/cunningkitsune will be in charge of whatever is going on in KSO's house. (including smashing late into the night, as KSO will need to sleep :p)

Anyway, S3BO X has been confirmed for June 20th @ 2pm.

See you all there.

And yes, I know The Vro Zone 2 has been scheduled for that date as well, but I figured we'd get all the locals from here, and he'd get all the locals from chicago. It's no big deal.

See you all there. If there is a low attendance, we may just do a $1 round robin tournament and draft crew battles.

Let the smashing commence.

I'll seriously do it if the rules are sensible.

Once I lose my 4 stocks we lose, I suppose?
me and friends did when he gets to 999 you lose, but i think doubles would be like when i get to 999 and you lose all stock or something, but hes a tank so maybe after you lose like 5 stock? idk

as for crews, master hand wins crew battles

and as for the hand, did anyone else notice it says he is sheik at the bottom of the yellow box at the no contest screen, and i owned fifteen minute melee with him lol, also my friend said if you play bowser against him, when he shows up bowser is a trophy, im gonna mess with it, like i tried doing the glitch when i was sheik, because it says hand is sheik, i went to stage select, but froze when i started

to bad we all found out at the same time, cuz if we didnt no and someone showed up and played master hand, could he win whole tourney, because we would have no rules set on him, and we would play him like a normal character, and the only way you could win would be to keep 4 stock and have less damage on you?
