NationStates Jolt Archive

It seems like things have gone downhill over the past few days (i.e. nobody's really posting much), so I want to know what people really want to talk about.

ANYTHING but politics! We can talk about shoe sizes for all i care!

Literature. Just joking... Seems like debates of religions and liberals/democrats are the most popular.

Spontaneous significance.

That's when things mean something to a person because of their timing.

How about talking about how much it sucks to move in the middle of winter?

Well then, let's discuss shoe sizes. It's damn near impossible to find a pair of Converse All-Stars knockoffs in a size 10 anymore.

How about talking about how much it sucks to move in the middle of winter?

It does suck. I had to move to get out of bed this morning, and let me tell you, it sucked a monkey's ass.

What does the 'K' in "Kellogs Special K" stand for?

Does anyone believe in spontanous combustion?

I just know I have big rabbit feet.

What kind of feet are those? Size of rabbit? Or shape?

coupling is the best show I've ever seen!

Get back to topic! :mad:

Anything but:

Gay marriage. Religion. Liberal/Democrat vs Conserv/Republican. Stupid flame questions. Gun control. Iraq war. Sports. TV. Books.

I guess that means I don't want to talk about anything.

who would like to go to work for me today
I'll pay handsomely!

i would tig, but i am barely making it through my own workday.

ugh

C'mon, let's talk 'bout spontaneus combustion! :fluffle: Fuffles for ya!

Does anyone believe in spontanous combustion?
Yep. Mix red phosphorus and potassium chlorate it will spontaneously combust.

lol My nickname is "Bunny" and I think I have big feet, so I say I have rabbit feet.

Size 10? Is that the American size system or some other nation's? I wear size 10 but I don't think my feet are huge.

Ya! I knew that when you put fluffle in it, it will work! Cheese! :fluffle:

a size 10 for men is like a 7 1/2 or 8 in womans size. 10 for a woman is considered big feet.

Women's size 10 -- American

Of course, when I need work boots, I have to get men's , which lets me wear a 7...kinda makes me feel better,lol


No, but size 10 is kind of big. 11 is where the crossdresser shoes usually start.

umm i totally got that backwards. a 7 1/2 or 8 in mens is like a womans size 10.

Ah, that slipped my mind. Didn't even think about that. And I even worked in a shoe department.

coupling is the best show I've ever seen!

The classic UK version... not the horrible (immediately canned) US version...

I wear size 13 (US) shoes. I am a guy. You know what they say about guys with big shoes. That's right ladies, we have big feet.

totally agreed, never saw the US version, but I own series 1-3 on DVD and I die laughing each time :)

I'm bored. I'm stuck at my parents house until tomorrow and have nothing to do. Also, I can't think of a topic to discuss. Someone come up with a topic that I can comment on.

Play "corrupt a wish". Or the more exotic version: "corrupt a fish". :D

I'll combine these into one answer.

I am born and raised in the nation's breadbasket, Kansas.
Favorite TV show: Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
Movie: Unbreakable.
Song: Olympia, WA by Rancid
I got my nation's name because I dressed up as a cheap Zorro for Halloween for two years. The stuff I purchased was called the El Bandito costume and the name stuck. I made the name pluarl for NS.

That's a good one. I want to talk about how I chose my nation's name. Damn, that involves alot of background information.. oh well, here goes

First of all, I'm a college sophomore. I am a Management Information Systems major. This means I am, by nature, a computer geek. I get roped into doing tech support for anyone I live near. At times, people piss me off by either being ungrateful or refusing to pay me (hell, I accept soda and old halloween candy..), so I have to find a way to get even. The most common thing I do is change the user's color scheme to something bright and unreadable. In the Jargon Dictionary, this is referred to as "angry fruit salad."
http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/A/angry-fruit-salad.html

I don't do this often, but when I do, the colors aren't the usual yellow, hot pink, and lime green. I go into the palette and work on custom colors for a few minutes..you know, actually put some thought into it.

Well, I decided to make this my calling card, so I dubbed myself Angry Fruit Salad.

i truely meant socks.... :eek:

sushi.....ICK!

I actually like sushi. I get it from the only Japanese restaurant I can stand, and I dip it in seafood sauce rather than eating the wasabi.

And I love the name..... :D

Really? I love wasabi.

I am from Kansas, I'm 28 years old, my favorite show is Coupling, my favorite movie depends on the day, but tends to lean towards Disney fairy tales and musicals of any kind, my favorite song is In My Dreams by REO Speedwagon most days, I would leave my husband for Kevin Smith, Adam Sandler, or John Travolta, my husband is the one who got me into NationStates and created the post monster that is me :) I picked my name because I love Tigger and I really am a Goddess :)

sushi
That's part of a game called "corrupt a fish." :D lol

Really? I love wasabi.

I tend to eat a little too much of it, and it feels like I inhaled floor cleaner or something. *shudder*

Alright, I got a topic. I just finished reading For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway and I need something else to read. Any good suggestions?

OK, Ill bite on that!

Im 24, from White Rock, BC, Canada (a trendy sea town south of Vancouver), my favorite show? Well, I dont really watch enough TV anymore to still have one - but back in the day I loved Fraggle Rock. Movie? Well, Id better list a few that are topping my list right now - "A River Runs Through It", "Life Is Beautiful", "The Motorcycle Diaries", "I Heart Huckabees", and of course I have to mention "The Fox & The Hound"!!, Song? Ive been listening to a lot of Nat King Cole, so nearly anything by him, of course Edith Piaf's "La Vie en Rose", Bad Religions "Inner Logic", Bouncing Souls "Im From There", and Kris Kristofferson's "To Beat The Devil". I actually started in NS over a year ago, but was deleted and came back this fall. My nation's name is a little too complicated to explain here (its more thought out than it seems!), but it goes hand in hand with some of my puppet nations names (old and new).

Ive never seen a real live Goddess.(show us)....and what about Jude Law, would you leave him for him?

Wow, thats a great book, I loved Anselmo.

Are you looking for more Hemmingway? Try "Green Hills of Africa" its great!

Otherwise, I just started some books I received for Christmas, and so far I have to say, anything by Thoreau is worth a read!

Also, if youre into the sort of tragic writing depicted in said Hemmingway book, give Stendhal's "Le Rouge et le Noir" a try, its excellent - you wont be able to put it down!

;)

Ever read Terry Pratcett? Try.

He is a hottie, but I really haven't seen many interviews with him, and I am basing leaveworthiness on personality from interviews and the kind of movies that they do. Plus, if I have too many it might worry my husband

I was thinking about giving Hemmingway a break. Not exactly the most uplifting author. I need a break from him. I'll look into the Thoreau.
