I wouldn't be anywhere up high if I were ever in an animal suit. The mask probably hinders your vision, he likely couldn't see where he was stepping and it's a freaking basketball net. I hope he learned from that, but I still don't like seeing people get hurt like that.
I read about someone taking, I think, vodka and valium after a one night stand, and woke up with DOMINIQUE carved into him with a star on his back and random scratches all down his arm. He woke up in a pool of his own blood. See, that was stupid. But I saw pictures of the marks and I definitely feel for the guy.

Oh man. YOU'RE CRAZY.
I guess they assume that after 3 years, you'll think the place is disgusting and won't want to be anywhere near that food.
And I usually eat something small from the concession stand at work. I have plenty of small meals in the day, because my family rarely congregates for regular meals.
Wendy's is definitely my favourite burger place, though.
And I'm still skinny as #####. Or a skinny-ass #####, if you prefer. But let's not use skinny ass-#####. I don't like that one.

I've been listening to a lot of Meat Loaf, Bat out of Hell II.
Mentioning it before made me think enough about it to get me to pay for the album. Even though I came across a few songs on youtube a while back and have been listening to them from time to time since then.
Jim Steinman. I like his style, though I suppose it can be overly dramatic. I just like that I guess.
Well, #####, look at that. It only took me A FEW MONTHS but I'm at 1000 posts now.

... Was that line actually in the game, or were you just being silly?
RRgh I want to play that game. That and Ico. I never finished Ico after renting it so long ago.
Yeah I don't always use another accent, but I really like the accent used in that video, so I lean towards that. I've also been trying (meagerly) to adapt a Finnish accent for myself but I'm not that good at it yet.

Main issue is actually making the conversion. Though part of me feels like Firefox is slower, and I don't know if that's in my head, but I don't want all the extra features if I'm not necessarily going to use them and it slows me down.
Also, I have good internet security so on the off chance that I'm stupid enough to click something that will try and download something to my computer, it gets blocked, so I have that going for me at least.
That being said, I know I SHOULD give it another try, I just lack the motivation to try something new in most instances.

I like the TMNT one but I don't like the Futurama one.
That's pretty much what Mike said but yeah. The picture seems very well done and worth saving, whereas the Futurama one had a good effort put in but just pales in comparison.
It's also redundant to put "FUTURAMA" at the top in big letters. Part of the idea of a parody is that people should know what your parody is based upon without you having to tell them. But that's only one thing about it that I can point out and explain.
EDIT: It's too bad that Leo's sword was cut off, because I think I could have surrounded it with white and made a decent desktop like that.

I knew he meant Street Fighter right away and Star Force didn't even cross my mind because 1) Star Force is never on my mind and 2) Street Fighter 4 actually EXISTS.
Context helps, but in this case, not a hell of a lot unless you're paying attention to upcoming games, and some of us actually aren't.
And WIND? Calm. Honestly, the only reason I probably couldn't tell the difference is the fact that I really don't care about either Street Fighter OR Star Force. I really couldn't care less. Don't even care enough to figure out that there may or may not be a Star Force 4 on a MegaMan forum, even though I'm pretty sure there isn't, but I still wouldn't think hard enough on the subject for it to make a difference. All I'm criticizing is the lack of context you posted in, but I AM sure that anyone knowledgeable enough about one or the other would figure it out. So we're good. The main indication is probably that even ASR stumbled over it, but he did get it. It's not even about roman numerals. Just typing it out would prevent stuff like that, is all I'm saying.

My avatar is basically a drawing that I did quite a while back that I scanned and uploaded to my photobucket; I took that, made the lines darker in photoshop, and used this: http://www.joshbuhler.com/mkemblem/To convert it to a 32 by 32 grid. I had to darken the lines anyway when I moved it to my emblem in Mario Kart DS and coloured it, but yeah. The image is 90 by 93 because I took two pixels from the width and one from the bottom, they're represented by a transparent background on the DS. Then I just put it in a 100 by 100 box and filled in the background. It needs tweaking, I think, and I've already done a bit of that, but yeah, I'm pretty proud of it. The colours aren't exactly the same as it looks on the DS but I think it's close enough.

You honestly had to outright tell me that it was Street Fighter before I got it, but I skimmed the post anyway so I wouldn't have mentioned it if this didn't happen.

Man. For the past few days I've been on Mario Kart DS, and I'm amazed at how I've improved. I used to pull my hair out over getting so much as a 1 star rank in each cup, but I've just reached a full 3-star rank in everything. Interesting how it went so smoothly.

18A means you have to be accompanied by someone 18 or over, at least in my region.
14A means if you're under 14, you have to be with someone 18 or over.
R means you can't get in unless you're 18 or over. Though I have yet to see an R-rated movie playing in our Cineplex for as long as I've worked there.
Banana bread is awesome. But you know what I haven't had in a while? French toast. I like-a me some of that.

I don't know about "getting off lightly" being any better a feeling than any other kind of rejection. I'm sure it helps, but if you really like someone it does hurt.
Anyway, Valentine's day did nothing in particular to make me feel better or worse about this subject. I just find it to be a part of the reality of living to know that some people are meant for or at least more capable of reaching things that you aren't capable of reaching. Accepting that is another thing. One could try to go on and revise their definition of happiness, or decide simply to just not take it, and instead say, "##### you, that's not what I want." I'm in the process of figuring this out.
The whole thing hasn't really got me down as much as it used to, either. I have negative thoughts, but I've basically added a "but whatever" to any thought I might have on the subject.
My day wasn't bad at all. It was certainly quiet, but I made it through with a sound state of mind.

Well... I tried to do them all at once if possible. Sometimes it blatantly wasn't, which was weird. I had this thing going where I'd get as much treasure as possible the first time around, so as not to worry about it in later runs. Made things go a bit faster. Though there were times when it took me a while to find that missing diamond or whatever.
I was also playing Theresia, which Rez recommended. Kind of shoddy.
I also wanted to pick up two Castlevania DS games but they're apparently not that easy to find after being out for a few years.

Oh wow, I just realized it was Chron that made that post.
THAT CHANGES A LOT. I thought I was... Oh man. I thought I was talking to Fatso. And then he responded to me and I'm just... everything makes sense right now. This is awesome.

Nope.
