Ten Ton Hammer - Taking MMO Gamers to the Next Level!

well, the iq inverter thing is true, coupled with baggy pants, you have a full retard in my opinion..... im my school we had a kid who acted like the white dude in malibu's most wanted..... it scared me....and made me laugh at him

OK....I aggree with Coyote on the texting thing. How dare you pull out your cell phone and start texting. I text often and I know it takes a bit of brain power to punch the tiny keys the proper amount of times to get a freaking Q to call a friend who just texted you that the docotr was a duck cause he sounded like he had a frog in his throat...*meanwhile* AS i speak to this person they are trying to sort through the zoo of animals that are part of this 3rd party text they receive and of course, things like this can not wait.

I have never been told LOL or BRB in real life. I think that if anyone I know, aside from Jensweet, ever said LOL or BRB i would promptly take them to the ground and mafia stomp them to a bloody pulp. Of course on the off chance the person who says LOL or BRB is bigger and badder than me, I will simply pick on them till they curl into a fetal position at which point I will mafia stop them to a bloody pulp.

All this talk of stomping makes my sleep...

Im with Mad how do you say lol in real life?

lawl just makes you sound ultra retarded as youd HAVe to have deliberatly said it. Ellohell could slip out before you realise it leading to awkwardness once you realise but could be a genuine brain fart.

Isnt the pants thing just a by product of america's obesity problem? The 'rappers' and 'gangsta's' are still trying to wear their size 50 waist trousers after they've gone on the 'drugs n shot full of holes' diet?

Yeah, that's just f***ed up.

*nods sagely*

One of the good things about the stupid "pants around the knees" style is that some of the stupid kids that wear their clothes like that have tried purse-snatching of shop-lifting and have been caught because their pants fell down and tripped them so they were easy to catch. That's how I get myself to not be as bugged by that very stupid fashion.

I also totally agree w/ you on the texting while they're supposed to be talking to you. When anyone does more than send one text (in case it's a "I'm busy, I'll get back to you later" text), I just leave. If they say anything, I just say, "Well, you obviously have something more important to do, so I won't waste any more of your time."

Exactly what I was thinking SillyGirl.

If I am with someone one a date (when I get the next one. . .someday) and they pull out their phone and start texting I'm leaving. I was also going to say the same thing about the pants thing. When I was in high school if I had worn my pants like that they would have yanked to the floor so fast I would have had denim burns on my thighs.

Heh the baseball cap thing, I call it an IQ Inverter. The more its twisted round, the more of a moron is underneath it.

I am guilty of asking a group of devs why they'd nerfed a feature on some software I was testing. All but one looked at me like I was speaking gibberish, he just lol'd and asked me what game I played.

What I dont get is, do you say L O L or say it lawl?? Not that Im planning on doing it, just curious.

I'll get me coat.

Yeah the whole baggy pants thing started back when I was a teenager, and it annoyed me. I really don't care what kind of boxers you were. My nephews wear there pants like that al the time. Hell my one nephew wouldn't know how to dress in the summer if it wasn't for jeans half way down his ass and wife beaters.

I am frequently yelled at during dinner for checking my email... I don't do it a lot and I almost never respond but if you are talking to somebody else and I'm bored? It's just a sign of the times like eating in front of the TV.

And you would be peed on.

This is why I don't sit next to you in public. Well that and you do your best to try and make people embarass themselves.

Arrrgghhh.....I loath the pants trend. But that doesnt bother me as much as the "show me your boxers fad". At least the gentleman in the picture has the decency to cover his unmentionables. The bastards out here have started wearing boxers with faces on their ass. Let me ask the general public, What the hell is that all about?

The pants trend has come and gone in south florida thank god! i think they saw themselves in the mirror like 2 years ago and it went away as fast as it came!

Damn you Kunane....shush ;)

Coy You are still gonna be a cool old dude, to me at least. And I have boobies so it's all good.

I knew you would come Jesus Eating Wonder Squirrles!

Damn touchy blog chopping off part of my post.

*cries*

Bithy comfort me....

Sagging actually has several ways that it's said it started. Yes people have actually written papers on this

LOL!

Kunane, not sure where in South Florida you are, but its alive and strong in my region. Matter of fact, just recently the city of Riviera Beach passed an ordnance that gives cops the right to ticket you if they see you wearing pants like that. The texting things just annoys me, I hate doing it so much that if I get a text its like.. dude, call me.. or stop. As for the hat, my son wears his like that, and I just leave it be, and he keeps asking what I am laughing at.. hey, if they are going to look stupid, I am going to make them feel self conscious about it..

Damn kids.. I tell ya, nothing but a bunch of wupper snappa's just trying to piss off the old man..

And the bonus to it all.. the one thing that makes it all right in my world... I own everything.. and they have to beg me for it all..

It's a messed up world and I just have to rule it...

The world is a mess and I just need to rule it.....

That's what I said.. it is.. and if you say it isn't, I might have to.. to.. to...

/looks around

Ahh, yes.. I might have to use my Freeze.. wait..

/scratches out Freeze and grabs a Sharpie(TM)

My.. Death Ray (TM)

Haha.. mwahaha.. mwahahahahaha HA!
(I've been working on my laugh)

Cause it's all about standards!

I was disgusted when watching the Little League World Series this year. All the kids' hats had straight brims (as in "not shaped or curved" for you oldies like me) and the hats were twisted to the side. Really pissed me off.

Ok - I've been reading this for a while and have gotten good and scared about how often I agree with Coyote. I mean he is obviously a little off. But I have to say that these trends bug the crap out of me too. I actually have the urge to pull these people's pants down around their ankles - they are so obviously asking for it. Fortunately I live in a fairly conservative, smaller town and this is not really popular here.

As for the texting, when I got my last cell phone I was asked what features I wanted. My response - it's a phone I just need it to make and receive calls.

Gosh I agree with all of it and I'm still in my twenties! Does this mean by the time I hit 30 I will be the one yelling at the kids to get off the lawn? What I've also noticed as a scary trend, is the way these kids , talk to their kids. And how the F word has become commonplace to say in front of everyone , including said small children.

You're not the only one feeling old, Coy. I'm waiting for the day my hubby finally snaps on one of those "Abercrappie Clones" (as he calls em) and forcibly yanks their pants up, rips their popped collar off and tells them to wash the orange makeup off. I'm dumbfounded by the girls I see that seem to be cutting off their circulation with ultra-lowrise jeans painted onto decidedly *ahem* larger than intended abdomens/butts.. and usually paired with their little sister's t-shirt. I often wonder if they realize that they look like they've got a second rear-end bubbling over the back/sides of those things or not. /shudder Some gals can rock those things (not me, lol) but for the love of sanity why embarass yourself when you know you can't?

Of course when I was in high school we had MC Hammer pants, bike shorts, button down shirts with see through panels, Vanilla Ice hair, "Mall Bangs", clouds of Drakkar and Polo everywhere you went, etc. I swear I put my own little hole in the ozone with all the RAVE I burned through between 8th and 12th grade. *lol* We were all idiots at one time or another. It's the adults jobs to take pictures so you can embarass the kids once the fads fade. *evil grin*

Madhog... ever noticed the IQ Inverter is often seen about 2 inches away from the steering wheel of a ratty Escort or Nova?

Was at Ikea a couple of weeks back, stocking up on Billis and Oogs, when a "My Car Was Pimped At Halfords" Nova rumbled it's 1.2l engine into a disable bay and some chav with his baseball cap on backwards clambered out, two steps from the car and his 'rent boy pants for hire' fell down round his knees.

How fricking COOL did he look then, eh?

Still, he probably wouldn't have fallen over if he hadn't been texting, eh?

Oh, ad how do you say "LOL"? Apart from the obvious "You don't", it's "ah ha hah hah ha hah", y'know, laughing, like we used to, before we lost all dignity. Well, it's that or just say ROFLCOPTERS!! Total lollage!!!

Blast. Really showing my age.

Ford don't do an Escort anymore, do they? It's the Cack or something? Or the Neuron? Ozone?

That's another thing about turning into a GOM, what happened to PROPER car names?

Names that oozed history and class, not quippy little marketting zings.

AND you can't get a good pair of corduroy underpants *anywhere* these days. (The type with a built in tobacco pocket and pipe rack...)

I remember tight-rolling the cuffs of my jeans while wearing different coloring Converse on each foot. Oh, and all of this was done while rocking the Guess jean jacket.

Like Spawny, I haven't even hit a quarter of a century yet, and I'm with you on all these points. It's not that you're getting old - it's that apparently my generation is the most socially retarded in recent history.

As far as "BRB" and "LOL" in real life though, we might all be screwed. "Hello" didn't come into common usage until it was accepted as the standard greeting in telephone conversations. Which means, at first, when people went around saying it in face-to-face conversations, other people would've said "They must spend WAY too much time on the telephone". Then it probably turned into some supposedly cute tongue-in-cheek thing, and there were a bunch of old people going "NOW you damn kids today are using 'Hello' in REAL LIFE CONVERSATION and acting like *I* am the one who is strange when I call you on it." And then all those old people died, and people kept saying "Hello" even though they weren't on the phone, and now you can say "Hello" to anybody and they don't even think about it.

*comforts Jen*
It's ok hun, have some ice cream

mmmm Ice cream.

Bithy is the best... *snuggles up with Bithy and Ice cream on the comfy couch*

What almagill said in his last posting.. but, without all that.. um.. bad teeth, nimbildy crickets stuff..

Wow, tight rolling jeans. I nearly forgot that one. Ooh! And scrunchie socks in crazy colors, ridiculously wide neon shoelaces, uber short skirts with ankle legth tights underneath... oh wait that one came back. *ha!*

Oh, and I think my all-time favorite: The preppie guys wearing silk dress shirts with paisley vests on top, or turtlenecks underneath and half a tube of hair gel cementing their 'do. XD

Okay, the hat thing... Doesn't happen up here cause it rains all the freaking time so they actually want their caps to protect their head.

The pants thing still happens in a few certain neighborhoods, but only in the summer, and usually just down to the hips, not all the way down.

The texting thing - I get a bit more Alpa-y than just leaving if they start texting. I demand to be let in on the conversation. ^_^

With the speaking memes thing - I do it, but generally very conciously, and when I'm either trying to be very silly or make a point.

That's only because you are afraid of me dear ;)

But it really doesn't matter because I *DON'T* do that...

Hi all, I've been reading for a little while, first time posting. I just had to weigh in on this one. I agree completly, with everything. But I have to add that typing LOL into a chat when you are 10 feet from a person, like when your at work or in class, and not actually laughing is becoming all too common. And it's a little insulting. Don't tell me your laughing, I know you're not! If you are ten feet from me and have to actually tell me LOL, then obviously you're not laughing at all, unless it's in your own little fantasy world, where everything is made of candy and laughs make no sound at all! Even out loud!

I'll calm down now.... back to my cage.

I very rarely use LOL, even in game. I have learned to hate those letters. If something amuses me I will type "he he". I may not actually be giggling, but some things need a response.

Woot JenSweet couch snuggles FTW!

Awe Bithy is so cute ;)

The comfy couch was in this conversation and I didn't know about it?! *gasp!*

*dives on in*

I am anti-comfy couch....Something about a 10ft couch with little painted people on doesn't seem right...on the other hand, neither do hot dogs stuffed with cheese, but i love them.

Maybe they still exist. My son is 8 years old and looks up to me like a hero (Smart Boy). So maybe I just do not see it in Broward Mall or Sawgrass?

I have stated for years that the proper response to pants in danger of falling down is a staple gun. You can then sag and look "cool" and I don't have to worry about seeing your ass. Plus, staple gun. hehe.

Velcro hips.
Problem solved.

Late to reply, i know, but i'm this generation, 18, and i'd like to think i'm not retarded. people who text while i'm trying to talk anoy me, but usually i let it go since i know they're fragile. Baseball caps and the jeans just make me laugh, while the whole "lol" thing? i don't even use it in games (EQ2 ftw) since it's rarely true, i go for hehe, since that doesn't imply i'm doing something i'm not.

Unfortunately my little sister is of the retard group, she can't spell, can't talk, and definately can't dress. Thinking of having her put down for her own sake
