Things I didn't know...

Postby FoxyJama » Mon May 16, 2005 3:06 pm

Are you sometimes embarrassed by things you don't know, when you find out that you haven't known about them all along? I need to get one off my chest, and everyone else is welcome to add their own embarrassments, or point and laugh as you see fit.

That's OK. So you didn't know. Just means you've been lacking in Tenacious D-nessocity. Gotta see some of their shows from HBO to see him in all his Jack Black goodness. He's way better in Tenacious D skits than in most of the movies he's been in IMHO! :)

Here's one, I just found out that Chaimera = Jawhammer. So I feel like a complete dope.

Most of mine from the past have been from not understanding that someone was role playing. I never played an RPG before this one so I didn't quite get it. Sometimes, I still don't know. I remember one time getting seriously pissed off at Tristalyn over something (don't ask me what it was now). I gave her hell for it and then booked out of Reets, determined to work off my frustration on some Omni heads. She sent me this big long PM telling me to chill the f' out and explaining that this is RP, duh!

Needless to say that I returned to the party, shamefaced. But, live and learn. :)

after playing AO for almost 4.5 years, I found out that you can move any implant's QL from one ql up to whatever ql you need by adding faded clusters, stripping, adding faded, stripping, adding-stripping-adding-stripping askdglakghoqorihgqp3048v 3p98yq4v!!!

oh, another one... for 4.5 years, nancuba had NO evades...

IMO... that seems REALLY impractical, though possible, since if you have high enough skill in nano programming it raises the ql of implant when u put in a cluster.

though i still think that is silly.....

I didn't know DJ Meenstreek would be the first GSP DJ to play stuff I'd listen to if I wasn't listening to GSP (no offense guys, I appreciate all types of music, especially when the subject matter is a small krokodil) :D

You mean DJ Meenstreek is catering to Boinky's style of music? I must fire him at once!

Yeah Meen apparently didn't read the very clear "No Boinky" clause stated in section 5 of article 67 on page 4 of the small print in the hiring contract.

Heeeee's outta heeere!

Packing? Apparently you missed another clause ;)
§135.21 - Leaving GSP. Can be done under two circumstances 1) wearing cement shoes on the bottom of the Newland lake. 2) Killed in the line of duty - qualifies you for the Honorable (former) Members of GSP roster (HMfoGSP).

So no packing! :P

But nah, I guess we can let this one slide... whatcha say Tarryk? :P

Well cut him some slack, it's not like he played The Starland Vocal Band or any small german girls singing about tiny reptiles, he just happened to play some stuff I quite like & nobody else has played on GSP to my knowledge. :D
