Ever read Jane Austin's Emma? No? Well, then you'll probably have no idea what I'm talking about...

In the book Emma is a hopless romantic who's "hobby," shall we say, is to set people up. However, even though she believes so much in true love, she lacks one of her own. Well, I was thinking about this and realized how many parallels there are between Emma and my best friend. Even since I met her she's been trying to "set me up." Well, lo-and-behold it worked...He is soooo perfect!!!

And I know that she'll find her guy soon!! Posted Image

"Pride and Prejudice" was better than "Emma", in my opinion. It's a far more complicated novel, with a greater number of interpretations open to readers.

Emma is just "Clueless", except not updated for 90s tastes.

I found Pride and prejudice decidedly boring. Read a GOOD book. Like The Illiad or The Inferno.

We're not talking about books, we're talking about how sweet her friend was to hook her up with her love. And how sad her friend is because she needs a date to the "snowball" and she can't find the right guy.

Use Caffeine. Even if your some psycho, no coffee, no soda, no any good beverage,*Cough*vec*cough* you can still buy penguin mints. Or gum. i bought caffeinated gum!!!! I'll never sleep again.

Anyways, back to the point, if you have enough caffeine running through your bloodstream, all of life's troubles are really funny. Plus, no hangover, no dieing, no bad effects( <- Not technically true. you can get a huge stomach ache, and deliver a nice Technicolor-yawn, and a big enough dose (**** load injected directly into bloodstream) would cause a cerebral hemorrhage, killing you.).

Well, that's not a very pleasant thing to have in one's mouth. Especially if you're putting it there, as sort of happened in Fight Club.

Yeah, those handles leave a rubber aftertaste and the shape is all odd, they barely fit - and its painful to stuff them in there.

Take this short survey:

1. Which forum did you post to?
2. How many posts were made?
3. What is the last digit of pi?

If you answered "Trash Talk" to the first one, at least 10 to the second, and 5 to the third, then no explanation should be required.

Begemotike's First Law:
Topics will, if given the length and time, always metamorphasize into different topics. The length of time and space before a topic digresses into a new topic is directly proportional to it's controversiality.

From [url="http://"http://leviathan.sourcecod.com/~homefish/laws.html"]here[/url].

Webboard topics have always shown the tendency to metamorphasize into different topics. We even took the time to right down a law about it 3 or 4 years ago.
