On a completely off-topic note, (which makes posting on this thread even more fitting)...
IF you by some chance are bored this summer, and have limited money to see a movie this summer, by all means...
GO SEE SHREK!!!
I thought it was one of the funniest movies I've seen so far, so I just thought I'd recommend it to everyone. http://www.pwrhouse.com/ubb/wink.gif

If you start an evil pygmy mummy adoption service, maybe I should do the same for the poor Anubis warriors. Or maybe just for Anubis http://www.pwrhouse.com/ubb/wink.gif!

Essence of Elf: "BAMF- Kick it up a notch!"
I loved Shrek! That was such a terrific movie- the dunmark song that the little wooden people sang was great! http://www.pwrhouse.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
yeah- I am wondering about cats and dogs myself.. but I think I may have to see it for no other reasons then I think megalomainacs are helarious (Pinky and the Brain!) and I think the name Mr Tinkles sounds funny. http://www.pwrhouse.com/ubb/tongue.gif http://www.pwrhouse.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
And while on the Off topic topic and on movies..
have you all seen the Mummy returns? If you have, do you remember the evil pigmys?
Well I have desided since they lost their home that I want to make an evil pigmy adoption service -now all I gotta do is figure out how to make web pages. http://www.pwrhouse.com/ubb/tongue.gif
Ooooohhhhh Shrek!!!! http://www.pwrhouse.com/ubb/biggrin.gif I haven't seen it yet, but I was planning to see it soon. All my friend's have already seen it, and they say it's great.
But I also want to see Atlantis the Lost Empire. I think the Atlantian language they came up with is pretty cool.

===={::>>B@mf<<::}====
I saw Shrek! I loved it! I also saw Swordfish on opening weekend(it opened on my Birthday!) Anyone else see it? I'm also looking forward to seeing the Fast and the Furious, Cats and Dogs, Tomb Raider and most of all Final Fantasy: the Spirits Within! Other than that, I've had a bummer of a summer. My condition's been acting up on me, and every single comic book store in the area has closed! http://www.pwrhouse.com/ubb/frown.gif Hopefully, though my dad can get me Ultimate X-Men #7 2 hours away. Oh, and finally to Moonbeamdancer, I have a couple of pictures, it's just with the recent developments in my condition I haven't been able to work on them for a while. But hang in there! I stopped going to summer school, so I have the rest of the summer to finish it and the other Nightcrawler pictures that have been collecting dust on my desk!

Now guys, I just had to share because I'm dancing' in the clouds tonight!! I just got to meet Forrest Ackerman and got his autograph on a magazine my letter and photo was in about 7 years ago!!!!! For those who don't know who he is, the short story is that he's a big sci-fi and horror fan who collects memorabilia. His home in Hollywood is a museum, he founded the magazine Famous Monsters of Filmland and knew many of the great old stars like Vincent Price!!! I was soooo nervous to meet him, but he was a very nice old guy. He was here in Kansas City for a film festival all week, so this is the second time this week I've seen him, but the first I got to talk to him. YAY!!!

http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/frown.gif Aww, poor Bamfette. Hope you feel better soon.
Happy (way belated) Birthday Bamfette!
I loved Shrek! That was the cutest movie ever!
And it looks like I won't have to go on a Jeff Martin deprivation induced killing spree after all! It turns out it's a promotional concert where people with season's tickets to the Roughriders (Saskatchewan's football team) get in free. And everyone else can just forget it. I freaked when I learned that little detail. I was preparing for mass slaughter. It's a good thing my dad knows someone with tickets and got them for me. Thank God, thank God for people who like football but don't care about Jeff Martin.
Bamfette, hope you're feeling better!
I saw A.I. this weekend, and it is amazing! Some people won't dig the story, but the cinematography is enough reason to see the movie. Plus, I got to see a trailer for Lord of the Rings! http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif Excitement!!!
I was on a website that listed the "origins" of names, and it stated that Aubrey was German for "elf rule." I thought that rather interesting...
http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif
Did you try finding out what "Kurt" means? I looked it up in a baby names book once(no, I was NOT preggers!) and it said it means "honest advisor".
Huh, cool. I'll have to look next time I'm at Barnes and Noble. My name means "Little Jean." No, not Slarti, my real name. And what's worse, my SO's name is Scott. Uck.
http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/tongue.gif
Ah, it's off to bed for me. I just got back from an Everclear concert and my ears are ringing and my head's a'poundin' ... It was a cool show, but I'll feel this in the morning. Ugghhhh...

heh heh heh! Cute one EL!
I'm not sure but I think I remember my Mom telling me that my name (David) means 'Beloved'.
On another note I have to say that as a movie going junkie, this has been a pretty dissapointing Summer. Some movies that I expected to really blow me away,
*cough* Jurassic III, Planet of the Apes *cough*
have turned out to be sort of a let down. (Although the special FX and make up in both of those films are pretty amazing) One pleasant surprise though was an almost shockingly original little film called MEMENTO. Wont say/give away too much about it except for...
1.) I really enjoyed it,
2.) I can almost garauntee you havent seen anything like it, and
3.) If you do see it, follow it very closely. Anyone who's already seen this unusually structured flick will know what i'm talking about!
Lead actor GUY PIERCE's performance was incredible. Even better than his turn in the excellent L.A. confidential. Oh yeah and CARRIE-ANNE MOSS (Trinity from the MATRIX) is superb as well.
If your into quirky, suspenseful, cerebral, keep-you-guessing-until-the-end type movies then I definitely recommend MEMENTO!
BAMF!
Wow BAMF! You didn't like Planet of the Apes? ok...I'm a bit of an ape-phile myself. I've watched all the old movies numerous times. Eveytime me and my brother see Charlton Heston in his NRA adds we yell, "Git yer stinkin' paws off me you damn dirty apes!" I had a blast watching the remake. I don't know if it's gonna be a classic like the original, but it's a good fun summer movie.
Oh and my name means "Beloved" too. How bout that?
Loved your nugget Slarti.
I've heard that movie was good, methinks maybe I should go see it now. I mostly liked Planet of the Apes. I was impressed by ol' Marky Mark's performance and it had a high "neat" factor. I can imagine that Geriatric Park III sucked. I dinnae like the second one.
I just finished the first draft of my enormous rewrite of that long-ass story I posted months ago. Get that? Good. So, in honor of my fried literary nerves, I thought I'd share this little nugget. Enjoy.

These are the 10 winners of this year's Bulwer-Lytton contest (run by
the English Dept. of San Jose State University), wherein one writes
only the first line of a bad ?novel:
10) "As a scientist, Throckmorton knew that if he were ever to break
wind in the echo chamber he would never hear the end of it."
??9) "Just beyond the Narrows the river widens."
??8) "With a ?curvaceous figure that Venus would have envied, a tanned,
unblemished oval face framed with lustrous thick brown hair, deep
azure-blue eyes fringed with long black lashes, perfect teeth that vied
for competition, and a small ?straight nose, Marilee had a beauty that
defied description."
??7) ?"Andre, a simple peasant, had only one thing on his mind as he
crept along the East wall: ?"Andre creep... Andre creep... Andre creep."
??6) "Stanislaus Smedley, a man always on the cutting edge of
narcissism, was about to give his body and soul to a back alley sex
change ?surgeon to become the woman he loved."
??5) "Although Sarah had an abnormal fear of mice, it did not keep her
from eking out a living at a local pet store."
??4) "Stanley looked quite bored and somewhat detached, but then
penguins often do."
??3) "Like an overripe beefsteak tomato rimmed with cottage cheese, the
corpulent remains of Santa Claus lay dead on the hotel floor."
??2) "Mike Hardware was the kind of private eye who didn't know the
meaning of the word "fear," a man who could laugh in the face of
danger and spit in the eye of death - in short, a moron with suicidal
tendencies."
??AND THE WINNER IS...
??1) "The sun oozed over the horizon, shoved aside darkness, crept along
the greensward, and, with sickly fingers, pushed through the castle
window, revealing ?the pillaged princess, hand at throat, crown asunder,
gaping in frenzied horror at the sated, sodden amphibian lying beside
her, disbelieving the magnitude of the frog's deception, screaming
madly, "You lied!"

LOL
Some were really funny, but this one is a personal favourite!
Here's a little test my friend sent to me...
Hope you all do better than I did. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/wink.gif
ARE YOU THE WEAKEST LINK?
I am going to ask you three questions. And you have to answer them
instantly. You can't take your time you have to answer immediately. Okay?
Let's find just how clever you really are. Ready? GO!!!
First Question:
You are participating in a race. You overtake second place. What
position do you finish?
Answer:
If you answer that you arrived first, then you are wrong! If you
overtake
the second and you take his place, you arrive second!
To answer the next question don't take as much time as you took for the first question.
Second Question:
If you overtake the last, then you arrive...?
Answer:
If you answer that you arrived second to last, then you are wrong again.
Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST! The question is wrong!
You're not very good at this are you? ;^)
Next...very tricky math! Note: This riddle *must* be done in your head
only and NOT using paper and a pen. Try it.
Third Question:
Take 1000 and add 40 to it.
Now add another 1000.
Now add 30.
Another 1000.
Now add 20.
Now add another 1000.
Now add 10.
What is the total?
Did you get 5000? Well, the correct answer is actually 4100. Don't believe
it? Check with your calculator! The decimal sequence confuses our brain,
which always jumps to the highest decimals (100s instead of 10s).
That should have you in a bad mood for the rest of the day! You are the
weakest link. Goodbye!
------------------
You... should... have... bought... a ... squirrel...
*scream...... crash*
arrrgh the last question got me bloody good lol im not the best at math nor mind games lol
then again i should have payed attention in that seventh grade math class instead of drawing..

I like monkeys.
The pet store was selling them for ?5 each. I thought that odd since they were normally a couple thousand each. I decided not to look a gift horse in the mouth. I bought 200. I like monkeys.
I took my 200 monkeys home. I have a big car. I let one drive. His name was Sigmund. He was retarded. In fact, none of them were really bright. They kept punching themselves in their genitals. I laughed. Then they punched me in the genitals. I stopped laughing.
I herded them into my room. They didn't adapt very well to their new environment. They would screech, hurl themselves off of the couch at high speeds and slam into the wall. Although humorous at first, the spectacle lost its novelty halfway into its third hour.
Two hours later I found out why all the monkeys were so inexpensive: they all died. No apparent reason. They all just sorta' dropped dead. Kinda' like when you buy a goldfish and it dies five hours later. Damn cheap monkeys.
I didn't know what to do. There were 200 dead monkeys lying all over my room, on the bed, in the dresser, hanging from my bookcase. It looked like I had 200 throw rugs.
I tried to flush one down the toilet. It didn't work. It got stuck. Then I had one dead, wet monkey and 199 dead, dry monkeys.
I tried pretending that they were just stuffed animals. That worked for a while, that is until they began to decompose. It started to smell real bad.
I had to pee but there was a dead monkey in the toilet and I didn't want to call the plumber. I was embarrassed.
I tried to slow down the decomposition by freezing them. Unfortunately there was only enough room for two monkeys at a time so I had to change them every 30 seconds. I also had to eat all the food in the freezer so it didn't all go bad.
I tried burning them. Little did I know my bed was flammable. I had to extinguish the fire.
Then I had one dead, wet monkey in my toilet, two dead, frozen monkeys in my freezer, and 197 dead, charred monkeys in a pile on my bed. The odor wasn't improving.
I became agitated at my inability to dispose of my monkeys and to use the bathroom. I severely beat one of my monkeys. I felt better. I tried throwing them away but the garbage man said that the city wasn't allowed to dispose of charred primates. I told him that I had a wet one. He couldn't take that one either. I didn't bother asking about the frozen ones.
I finally arrived at a solution. I gave them out as Christmas gifts. My friends didn't know quite what to say. They pretended that they like them but I could tell they were lying. Ingrates. So I punched them in the genitals.
I like monkeys

Now that I've gone back and looked at this thread.... Ha Ha. No, my real name is Ellen, and if I remember correctly, in sign language my name means beauty.
------------------
"Listen very closely. There is a sound I want you to hear it's-" *BAMF!*
According to my collection of baby name books Ellen means either "light" or "mercy". AFAIK, the sign for beauty is beauty and means beauty. How could it be any other way? http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/confused.gif

"Let's just file it under U for uncanny and move on."
That what I remember, I never said I was right.

"Listen very closely. There is a sound I want you to hear it's-" *BAMF!*
I don't know why I'm saying this, but my name means the peace maker, or devoted follower. I read on a baby name site once that it means painfully beautiful. How did they know http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/wink.gif.
I have a cat named Errol Flynn. He's black and furry.
