Monkeys -my Christmas gift to you!
Posted 15 years agoI like monkeys.
The pet store was selling them for five cents apiece.
I thought this was odd since they are normally a couple thousand apiece.
I decided not to look a gift horse in the mouth, so I bought 200 of them.
I like monkeys.
I took my 200 monkeys home.
I have a big car.
I let one of them drive.
His name was Sigmund.
He was retarded.
In fact, none of them were really bright. They kept punching themselves in the genitals.
I laughed.
They punched me in the genitals.
I stopped laughing.
When I got home, I herded them into my room. They didn't adapt very well to their new environment. They would screech and hurl themselves off the couch at high speeds and slam into the wall.
Although humorous at first, the spectacle lost its novelty halfway into it's third hour.
Two hours later I found out why all the monkeys were so inexpensive.
They all died. No apparent reason.
They all just sort of dropped dead.
Kinda like when you buy a goldfish and it dies five hours later.
Goddamn 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 one hundred ninety-nine dead, dry monkeys.
I tried to pretend that they were just stuffed animals.
That worked fine 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 my toilet and I didn't want to call a plumber.
I was embarrassed.
I tried to slow down the decomposition by freezing them. Unfortunately there was only enough room for two 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 go bad.
I tried to burn them, but little did I know that 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 one hundred ninety seven dead, charred monkeys in a pile on my bed, and the odor wasn't improving.
I became agitated at my inability to dispose of the dead monkeys and I really had to use the bathroom.
So I went and severely beat one of the monkeys.
I felt better.
I tried throwing them away.
But the garbage man said the city was not allowed to dispose of charred primates.
I told him I had a wet one.
He couldn't take it 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 quite know what to say.
They pretended to like them, but I could tell they were lying.
Ingrates.
So I punched them in the genitals.
God, I like monkeys.

Superman lives right here in town!
Posted 15 years agoThere's a guy around town that hangs out next to the Dairy Queen. I can't say why, he would, but almost every day in the spring and summer he's standing there, posing and waving. Lately though, I have my doubts!

Oh, but he did manage to steal Darth Vader's helmet!

Need some good Iphone recommondations!
Posted 15 years agoOkay, so officially being several years late to the party I got an Iphone, but I need a little bit if direction for two things
1. A good case that I can clip on my waist
2. Some good applications out there.

Need someone to animate a new avatar icon...
Posted 15 years agoHey everybody,
I'm hoping someone can help me here. I'm looking to have a new avatar animation created (or several) This icon's been great, but it's time for a change. What I'm looking for is an icon similar to:
herisheft <-- I like this as one of the best (she wouldn't write me back) I'm looking for bouncing boobs, smushing against the 'screen' jiggling, etc... butt jiggle is good too
Of course it would be for use here, but I'd also like something fantastically inappropriate for my iphone!
Any help you could give or refer me to cool avatars that match this description is greatly appreciated!
What animation program can I download for free if I can't have someone create one for me?

College loans PAID! +other things I wish I knew in college
Posted 15 years agoAh, I can't believe it. The last of the student loans are paid in full. I finally made it. There was a big push I had this spring to be rid of them, and finally next month I'll be on the road to having a (Slightly) more free budget. Through this though I'd like to share a few things I wish I had known in college or found out afterward.
1. Private loans -these loans are different from the federal loans and are usually used for room and board. They're smaller loans by private vendors, usually referred to as SELF loans. These loans usually demand interest payment right away, and can't be consolidated with ANYTHING. Avoid at all costs consolidating your student loans with a SELF lender. They can have a higher interest rate, and are ruthless about getting their money back.
2. "you'll be making more money so don't worry about the cost college" bullshit. If you want to study something go for it, don't wait for college professors to teach you. I've met so many talented people that haven't set foot in a school and were hired simply because of their initiative and drive to learn on their own.
3. Networking. This was something of a surprise to me that while in college it's a good time to contact businesses and just start talking to them, asking questions and just getting your name out there. Also try and have work available online for people to see and let it be known that you'll be looking for a job eventually. I had asked my last year more about this and the professor's answer was something along the lines of "By the way this is something you should have been doing all along while you were here."
4. Your professors are usually professionals in their field that teach and can share some pretty important knowledge. It's good to know them outside of classes and really ask them for advice and feedback. Your classes will only teach you the basics, it's up to you to get the rest out of your education as you can.
5. Weigh your options. Is college really for you? Again if you think that' its just a natural progression then that you move onto a college be sure you get as much out of it as you can. You can get good grades in all your classes, but if you don't network or take advantage of it beyond the day to day affair of going to classes, you'll be in for a surprise when you graduate. You may get the polite equivalent of "Thanks for the money, don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. We don't want ass marks on our new door."
6. College is a business. They don't care about you -your professors may, talk to them! Remember that if a college looks impressive it's supposed to in order to get more students to attend. I heard all the time about budget cuts while I was in school yet a new library, parking garage, and computer labs were all built after I graduated. This is to bring in investor dollars, not for you. It's only a fringe benefit you're allowed to be there. The college is more interested in looking up to date, advanced, and have good facilities.

Ebay makes stealin' easy!
Posted 15 years agoHey,
For all of you that know me well, I'm a recovering otaku. Over the past year, I've sold off most of my DVD collection, mostly because I was tired of being punished for supporting those whom I was supporting. I'd buy an entire set of DVD's and 2-3 months later they'd come out with a full set for a fraction of the price -assuring that I had wasted my money, and that I would get virtually nothing back if I were to sell them. -but that's a story for another day
Ebay's changed their policies radically in the last year or so. As a seller you basically have no rights. I've been ripped off a few times, and was given very little to no option to refute the accusations against me.
First situation:
-I sold a few dvd sets and one person said that they never received them. It happens, but under Ebay's new policies, I was given three options
1 -Give the tracking number to prove you sent it
2 -Give his money back
3 -Ebay will give his money back
And that's it! I tried talking to a moderator, but it did no good, money refunded. If your seller does not use delivery confirmation, all you have to do is say you never received it, and ebay will give you a full refund. Now everyone has to pay for more shipping charges because I now have to put delivery confirmation on EVERYTHING!
Second situation:
-The buyer was not happy with the item. He complained to the moderator, opened a case, and said it was nothing like what I had described. He threatened to leave negative feedback, and demanded his money back. Jeez, unless a game or a DVD is factory and hermedically sealed, you'd better NOT list anything as 'new'
I was given the same options around this time, and This time I tried the moderator, and they still wound up giving his money back -but this time INCLUDING shipping.
I understand the need for this, but this is out of control, this has happened to me 4 times now and it's POSSIBLE that packages are lost, or people aren't happy, but it's far FAR too easy for someone to simply complain and get all of their money back and the item. I've even had someone promise to send back the item and I reimburse him the shipping. He never did, so he couldn't've been THAT upset with it.
upset enough to bitch, mind you, but not so much that he'd let me have it back.
Oh, and feedback is complete BS without the capability of leaving negative feedback, it's also completely useless now

Pc games -you want 'em? Just pay for shipping!
Posted 15 years agoHey everyone,
It seems that PC games pretty much won't sell on Ebay. I've got a few I'm trying to get rid of, so if you want 'em, all I ask is $3 for the envelope and shipping. First come, first serve, let's try to keep it one game per person
PC Games:
FarCry
Spiderman 3 (it was a gift, what can I say)
Battlefield 1942 -secret weapons of WWII
Chronicles of Riddick -Escape from Butcher's bay (director's cut)
The Suffering -Ties that Bind -sold!
Armed and Dangerous
Ultimate SpiderMan

How many times have you seen the (Red) Ring?
Posted 15 years agoUUGH! AGAIN!!
This will be the second time I've gotten the RROD (Red ring of death) for the 360. BOTH of them have been elites, and this last version is the jasper version of the chipset.
I should explain that though I love my Xbox, I don't play for more than a few hours a week. I don't use it as a DVD player, and I don't leave it on for long periods of time. It's on to of the tv stand in a well ventilated area. This particular Xbox only lasted 13 months. Overall it's a great system, but I have my doubts whether any of these will be running in the future beyond this iteration of the console. The next generation BETTER be backwards compatible, because I have my doubts any of the current ones will last.
So, how many of you have had hardware failures -and how many?
I've bought a LOT of consoles, stereos, pc's over the years and I can honestly say I've never bought anything so poorly constructed.

You may wind up buying a wheelchair you don't need
Posted 15 years agoHey everyone,
Some of you may be lucky enough to work for a company that offers a flex account. Pre tax money you can set aside to spend on medical expenses like dental work, hospital visits, eye surgery and the like.
I set aside about $2,000 and never really got around to using it. So I bought as much over the counter stuff as I could use and wound up with a WHEELCHAIR because it was on the list of 'allowable expenses' Now at first, I was thinking of running some sort of jackass-style race downhill with some sort of javelin but I decided to buy as much as I could and donate it to various nursing homes in the area as I could.
Overall, I'll be able to spend almost ALL of it before the weekend's over (the deadline is monday) so don't be an idiot kids, if you've got flex SPEND it, or it's gone.
as is, I feel pretty good that almost none of it's going to waste.
Also EVERYONE is getting first aid kits for Christmas this year :/

Nearly 800 watchers! Oh wow, -thanks everyone!
Posted 15 years agoHey everyone,
Just wanted to say thanks to all, especially those that have recently decided to watch me. I started just about a year ago, and have been really surprised the reception here at FA. I've been working behind the scenes, believe me, even when it seems I haven't been posting in a while, I'm up to something and I hope to have a lot more to watch.
And to those that have been just started watching me recently also, some of you scrolled past so fast I didn't get a chance to thank you, I take none of you for granted and want to thank each and every one of you for giving me a chance. I'll continue to work hard, and look forward to meeting many more of you at conventions!

Happy Valentines! -Thanks to all of you
Posted 15 years agoHey everyone,
This is not your typical Valentine's BS!
This is NOT
-Valentine's Day ~BAAAAAAAW!
-Valentines' Day Sucks
Pfft! Single and lovin' it!
Overall it's been a pretty good year. I've been both taken back and amazed by all the feedback, favorites, and everything.
It's just under a year early, but while I'm thinking about it. Have a great day and enjoy whatever you're doing. Chillin with friends, spending a day with a loved one -for me? I'm going to order a pizza and do some drawing!

Does anyone care about the superbowl?
Posted 15 years agoFirst off, I really don't care for football -and I'm not going to give anyone grief who does enjoy the game.
But my main question is -Even if you do watch the superbowl, is it anything to be excited about or do even fans see how overblown this is and just not care? I seriously want to know.
I live in Minnesota. Up until a few games ago it seemed the Vikings were on their way. Again, I DON'T CARE about that but also can't help but hear about game updates. NOW though everyone around me is pissed off, bitter, and I keep hearing phrases like "Now it's just another sunday football game" -the recent bout of super-apathy I do find amusing though.
So what do you think -do you care, or are you going to avoid tuning in?

did you get what you wanted? just got back home!
Posted 16 years agoThanks to everyone for their support, I drove over 800 miles of icy snowy highway, but I made it. I didn't think I would because of all the blizzard conditions over the tri-state area closing highways statewide nearly the whole weekend?
But did you get what you wanted for Christmas? I think I did pretty good -everyone enjoyed their gifts and I got to see my family for a good portion of the weekend. I didn't get everything I wanted, but I certainly got things I needed. How did you do?

F'n STRANDED -blizzard conditions
Posted 16 years agoI'm at my parent's right now. but so far the roads are blocked off for the entire state so I can't go home until at least Sunday. I have NOTHING BUT TIME to do something and no tablet or headset so I can't do anything in OC.
Christmas kinda blew, too -I'd love more than anything right now to be able to go home...

What do you really want for Christmas?
Posted 16 years ago--And none of that 'peace on earth' BS
two parts -
1. What do you have on your list?
2. If you could have anything -what would you ask for?
For me:
1. Clothes, a new TV for my bedroom, and some furniture. I'm LONG overdue for some nicer furniture. Since I moved into this great new apartment, all of my furniture seems pretty shabby
2. A cloning/killing machine. I know It's tempting to say an endless supply of money. But no, I'd create several clones of myself to work around the clock. When they realize they're getting the short end of the stick -I'd have them killed and clone a new one -just like that. THEN I'd license it out to the rich and contract clone manufacturing for the very rich -that way I'd have wealth, power, and they say over who lives and dies -in short, everything I've ever wanted.
two parts -
1. What do you have on your list?
2. If you could have anything -what would you ask for?

Does Christmas mean anything to you?
Posted 16 years agoAs time goes on it seems all the more pointless. Shopping starts earlier and earlier -crappy gifts come out of the woodwork -lesser in quality and more expensive it seems.
Somehow in the mass marketing of the holiday, the 'PC correctness' of the Holiday that tries to include and not offend everyone, I've pretty much lost that spirit of wonder. Also, buying gifts for my family is expensive and usually they're gifts they could buy for themselves, as well -just seems pointless.
Can anyone remind me what it is that makes this holiday special?

Going to Midwest Furfest!
Posted 16 years agoThanks to everyone that replied, I just worked out the details the other day with some roomates, but didn't want to post anything until everything was worked out. This will only be my second con, so definitely looking forward to it.
See you there!
See you there!
Need a Room for Midwest Fur Fest!
Posted 16 years agoHere I am, freefalling, my safety net snapped,and I'm hurtling toward the ground.
My roomates fell through, and I've already got a plane ticket, and registered for MFF. I need a room to stay in I'll be in the area for 4 nights. I'd love to be considered. I would be a solid roomate, quiet, and able to pay upon meeting you for the room. I unfortunately have only been to ONE furry con so far, so as such, I haven't gotten a chance to meet a lot of you yet. I'd like to, and am very much looking forward to it, and as each day passes am getting more into panic mode as I realize it's coming all that much quicker.
Let me know, I'd love to work something out!

What is the WORST horror movie you've seen?
Posted 16 years agoHey everyone, Happy Halloween
What is the worst horror movie you've seen? I know, I know, you're going to say 'Plan 9 from outer Space' but for me it was:
Halloween 3!
A movie SO BAD, so horribly crafted, it's simply comedy gold! A group of wiccan witches -I think from the future, use the power of stonehenge (and robots that BLEED) to imbue halloween masks with the power to turn children into piles of bugs and snakes. I am NOT KIDDING!
Watch our hero as he, skips work, cheats on his wife, and is a general asshole to everyone he meets -our HERO ladies and gentlemen!
A movie SO BAD, SO HENIOUS, there's no entry on rottentomattoes.com, and a single line plot summary on IMDB

Anyone have some good advice on proxy servers?
Posted 16 years agoHey all,
I recently got a letter from my cable provider regarding some torrent activity they had noticed. I figure it's because I moved and the complex I'm in provides network access for free so it's likely it's monitored -a fact I hadn't taken into consideration earlier.
There are several good proxy serverprograms such as 'Peer Guardian 2' but which one is the best? and how can I make sure that my torrent shenanegans to unnoticed by the watchful burning gazed of my cable provider?
the *REALLY* scary thing is that they had the name of the file, file size, and time of downloading.

Looking to go to MFF -Also any furst around Minneapolis MN?
Posted 16 years agoHey everyone! I'm looking to go to Midwest FurFest and see if there's any room openings, but also to see who's all going this year.
It's hard being a furry in this area, there's MFF is probably the closest one to me.
If I'm wrong and there are other conventions, please let me know. Do you have room, or just let me know if you're a fur in the Minneapolis MN area. I just want to know there's someone in my area :)
Thanks for reading -hope to hear from some people!

Finally moved in -ready to return to (art)work!
Posted 16 years agoThanks for all of you for being so patient in waiting for your artwork. I'm finally moved in, and ready to return to getting some drawing done for friends and for those I owe.
You wouldn't think it'd take an entire week to move and get settled in, but between this apartment and the last, It's pretty much taken the entire week I had taken off of work. I've had nearly no time to work on anything, but I've got a ton of ideas, and should be posting something later this week at the very least.
The only thing to worry about is what's waiting in my inbox -or better yet what's been sitting IN my inbox waiting for my return.

Moving! -Warning: Contains liquid egg product
Posted 16 years agoFinally moving out of this apartment! Everyone knows when it's time to leave and move somewhere new, and that time for me -was about four years ago.
I'm moving across town to a really nice complex. Car's paid off, most of the student loans are gone, and I'm long overdue a change.
but GOOD GOD, why do I have so much CRAP?? Seriously, I've thrown out so much crap in the past week.
I was able to get boxes from a friend that works at McDonalds so most of my boxes say 'french fries' or 'Liquid egg product' to which one of the employees put a 'warning' sticker on. He must have as I've only got one. But as my neighbors saw me moving out several carts of crates marked 'liquid egg product' they were prompted to ask:
"Just how much 'liquid egg product' to you NEED?"
to which I replied: "Hell, this won't even get me through the WEEK!!"
I'm pretty much flying solo on this move until I get to the awkward stuff, but updates may be lacking from here until I get settled in. I apologize in advance. I'm really excited, but most of the time pretty exhausted, as well.
