  1. Hopefully you bought the Apple Care for your iPod. This is imperative. Since your iPod is new, call the Apple support team and ask them how to fix the problem. They will help you. It's not a problem, and I was exaggerating a bit: it's just chance what song comes up and I find it strange that the same songs keep appearing. And the iPod isn't brand new but it's new to me as my dad got an iPhone for Christmas so he gave me the Touch. I'm not sure I like it, though: I walk around campus with the iPod in my pocket and I used to be able to change songs, volume, etc. with my hands just for feeling for the clicker wheel and now I can't do that with the Touch without taking it out of my pocket. Grr. I like the old iPods for exactly that reason.
  2. You had better be scared! I'm watching you! As far as President Obama is concerned, here is my question... Race. When you have one parent who is African American and one parent who is Caucasian... which race are you? Do you go by the colour of your skin? Do you select features, such as hair, face, etc. to make the determination? Do you pick the race that you feel will give you an edge? What I believe is that we need to put the entire race problem behind us and move on. Obama is one-half white. If his birth certificate says that he is a Caucasian, would this have changed history? He is still the 44th President of the U.S.A., but now he is just another white guy. During the race for the Presidency, Obama was all about "the people". There was no discussion about race. At the inauguration, it was all about race. Did he forget that his mother was white? How sad that our country can't move on. I think race ought to be removed from being a factor in life. We all ought to just be Americans. Enough of my rant. And by the way, I have no idea what race is on President Obama's birth certificate. My vote for President went to the candidate who I felt could best lead the country. THANK YOU. At last, someone has picked up on a point I've been talking about from the very beginning! As for "which race are you", after watching Australia and seeing the treatment of the so-called "creamy" children that were taken away from their families for being mixed-race it appears that you are in both camps and in neither camps. You don't have to be a genius to think of people who have been prejudiced for this in the past and in fiction. But as you say, in Obama's case, the race card has indeed been played BUT, to be fair on Obama, HE wasn't the one to play it, it was the media. Everyone over here kept on saying that "America really needs a black president right now", but DOES America need that? America needs a good leader regardless. I don't think Obama will improve standards for the black community in the USA as some people have suggested (and thus imply that the standard DOES need improving, which I don't think it does). If he does well then I will indeed admit that I was wrong. But I have lost faith in the American voter simply because America complains about this and that and then votes the opposite way. But then again, I have no idea what I'm talking about. I cannot talk politics. You are very knowledgeable in politics! Where is TGHL when we need him? What Obama has done for the African American community in becoming the President, is significant. There is more out there for a young black person, than becoming a sports star and Obama has succeeded in reaching the top!!!
  3. *covers LifesEagle's mouth* Shhhhh. Don't let Leguan hear you say that. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE German, always have. I just don't like TWO HOUR lessons about cars like the one we had today. When am I ever going to use the word "Karosserieteile" (the word given to the sheet metal used to make the body/frame of a car)? My dear... cars are so important in Germany.
  4. NUTS... DID YOU SAY NUTS?????????? WHERE, WHERE, WHERE????? *RANSACKS LIFESEAGLE'S FLAT LOOKING FOR NiTS*

  6. I couldn't have even come close to the great job you did. Great comic!!! More... please submit more!
  7. Wouldn't you allow some people this comment when the movie varies greatly from the book? I would have at least expected that if you were going to act in a movie based on a book, that you would have at LEAST, read the book to get your impression of what the author was trying to accomplish.

  10. Oh. Ummm... you need a new phone because it would save you money on a laptop? No. I guess that won't work. Suck up to your parents?
  11. THERE YOU ARE!!! *SCREEEEEAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMSSSSSSSSS* *CATCHES ARKCHER, GRABS HIM BY THE HAIR, DRAGS HIM INTO THE SNOW, THEN INTO THE PILE OF CHOCOLATE SQUARES* NO ONE ESCAPES!!!!! D: WHAT IS WRONG WITH HORATIO I DONT EVEN KNOW BUT I LIKE THAT IDEA OF A PILE OF CHOCOLATE SQUARES. TOO MUCH SUGAR!!!!!!!!!!! IT MAKES ME CRAZY!!!!!! :wacko:
  12. I also LOVED the book City of Ember. The movie was sort of OK...but there was some weird stuff. Like the giant mole. Where did that come from? But reading the book for the first time was such a fun experience...the suspense of not knowing whether or not they're going to get out...etc. I've read all the other ones too (sparks, yonwood, darkhold) but ember is the best. ~Liz It's so interesting that I watched COE when I did, because I just finished a documentary on evolution that actually talked about the same species of mole featured in the film (the star nosed mole). I just found that to be an interesting coincidence. I found that the film didn't really explain itself very well. I have a bad memory and read the book a long time ago so I was hoping that the story would explain some of the plot points so I could remember but they didn't really talk about it at all. They didn't even . Bad storytelling, really. But I do like the adventure/mystery element. Yeah...they did leave out a lot. Why do movies always do that? (Like Harry Potter...) ~Liz Obviously they never read the book. Didn't you know? Whenever they make a movie based off something, they are required by law to hire a director and actors who have never read the book/played the video game, that way it stays as faaaaar away from canon as possible. *slaps forehead* Well that makes total sense.
  13. The iPhone. Nothing compares to the iPhone. The internet is so fast that is actually saves your parents money.
  14. EXCITING??? OH YOU HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT EXCITING. *SNEAKS UP BEHIND MEGA WOLF, THROWS A BLANKET OVER HER HEAD, ROLLS HER IN APPLESAUCE, THEN ROLLS HER IN A CREPE* *SEARCHES FOR THE NEXT VICTIM*
  15. THERE YOU ARE!!! *SCREEEEEAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMSSSSSSSSS* *CATCHES ARKCHER, GRABS HIM BY THE HAIR, DRAGS HIM INTO THE SNOW, THEN INTO THE PILE OF CHOCOLATE SQUARES* NO ONE ESCAPES!!!!!
  16. TOO LATE!!! *GRABS TBFOF AND THROWS HIM INTO THE JELLO POOL, THEN COVERS HIM WITH REDDI WHIP*
  17. I thought you already went to France. Am I crazy? We miss you when you aren't around. So happy to see you today and to hear that your year is going great. Why do you want a hedgehog? Seriously? Why? Did you watch the festivities?

  19. You forgot to add shipping, customs duty and associated fees. New price... one zillion dollars! I like the horse in that picture. I import things all the time from America, it's not that expensive (except when it's Bustedtees when I had to sell my soul It looks like fun. That is something I would enjoy trying. The best part is that I would be entertaining the masses. There was an amused crowd surrounding us. There's even a video of me playing the game on FB. So... are you going to give me more specific information so I can view it? Email it please. I saved the video but it's an MP4 or whatever which always confuses me. Darned FB. I'll sort this out at some point. I can wait.
  20. Sleep as well! I just flew from Rochester, New York to Memphis, Tennessee and I need to go to bed.
  21. *cracks the whip* Get to work or I will take away your laptop!!! As for me... I am still looking for a trip that is better than the one I have.
