Default theme? The default for the general discussion and forum seletion has always been the brown and browny orange.
Wait, I see it, bordering the quick post and entire site. Weird
See I didn't get that because I was tired of not being able to see things without my eyes bleeding, and I've only been here 3 hours. I apologize, h-to-tha-lav-to-the-co. Way to make me look stoopyd.
It's funny, when I first saw you post in the other threads I was like "Wait, Noobity? ...Huh, now that you mention it, I guess I HAVEN'T heard from him in a long while, how weird is that!" I saw your forum name and it still seemed just as familiar to me, like you had posted here just as often as you had at inksandwich. Glad to see you at the Orangebelt!
I was kinda late into joining the forums again, but recently I've been doing more posting than usual, yay!
I haven't heard from DBD or Will in probably 2 years. They both kept in touch a little on AIM after IS died, but now it's been forever. But Will was always super flaky and DBD was. well DBD, lol. They're both good kids though, fo sho.
Howdy, I told myself if this summer became an ultimate success that I would finally introduce myself after lurking off and on for probably a year (even had to remake my username because it got purged).
Now for a little about me. My name is Adam. Amoeba Boy introduced me to the OB possibly 2 years ago? Something like that. We are the bestest of friends and are also the same person on many occasion, representing each other whenever the other is not present. PROOF
It's quite the coincidence really that all this talk of STV and such has come about, as it is one of the few webcomics that I followed. I started reading it in 7th grade I think (9 years ago) and I do somewhat remember the Inksandwich name. I even bought one of the shirts!
So yeah, that's me, I look forward to contributing to your zany SCIENCE!-filled loving corner of the interblag.
The "leopard" was actually a Hitchhikers Guide reference. In the books Arthur never went into his basement because the ceiling was low that when you were heading down the stairs you would bonk your head, the lights were broken, and there was a sign on the door saying "Beware of the leopard." But I'll go with the Leopard OS, whatever.
You completely misreported that reference. Arthur was explaining the difficulty of obtaining the requisite information regarding his house being torn down.
Yes I know, the problem was that the planning center was in his basement which he doesn't go into, that and he probably wouldn't be able to find it if he new it was down there and looked anyways.
I don't know, that's always how I interpreted that part of the book, maybe I'm being influenced by the radio series where they explain it in a way that I interpret like that too. I've heard the radio series a lot.
I'm pretty sure the planning center was in his basement and the con/de-struction guy mentions they figured he would check the planning center, because it's in your basement. Then Arthur starts complaining that "How would I know that? What? do you want me to search in a dusty locked file cabinet in the corner to find some recent postings?" or something to that effect. Then he complains that he's always frightened to go down there anyways because of a sign that says "Beware of the leopard."
Umm... I'm pretty sure they're not in his basement. The construction worker originally states that he has no reason to be surprised, because the plans for the highway were posted in City Hall or some other such building for several months.
It would create humor if, in order to see the posted information, one must descend an ill-lit staircase, bonk one's head, and be warned about leopards.
Mr Prosser said, 'You were quite entitled to make any suggestions or protests at the appropriate time you know.'
'Appropriate time?' hooted Arthur, 'Appropriate time? The first I knew about it was when a workman arrived at my home yesterday. I asked him if he'd come to clean the windows and he said no he'd come to demolish the house. He didn't tell me straight away, of course. Oh no. Forst he wiped a couple of windows and charged me a fiver. Then he told me.'
'But Mr Dent, the plans have been available in the local planning office for the last nine months.'
'Oh yes, well as soon as I heard I went straight round to see them, yesterday afternoon. You hadn't exactly gone out of your way to call attention to them had you? I mean like actually telling anybody or anything.'
'But the plans were on display...'
'On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.'
'That's the display department.'
'With a torch.'
'Ah, well the lights had probably gone.'
'So had the stairs.''But look, you found the notice didn't you?'
'Yes,' said Arthur, 'yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying Beware of the Leopard.'
Well, they're not going to point out the exact street address and also mention Arthur's so that you know it's not in his basement. I don't know why you would assume that a government office was, for some reason, located in a random dude's basement.
Also, he said he "went round" to see them, which I'm pretty sure is Redcoat speak for "went out."
True true, I figured it was in his basement because it's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, come on, it's just like that books for something* like that to happen.
* That "something" was originally spelled "somethoing," which I find very amusing.
Err... hate to break up your chat about the hitch hiker's guide (which has been dead for six days) but I, former lurkest decided to post once, just for the hell of it!
I'll start at how I got here first, then get all random and off topic later: I was originaly introduced here by zelda-comic-.net (Which was by the way only the second site I ever visited). after that I came back every so often and read things for amusement. (and I found an awsome comic about space collage too!). I read 8-bit theader up to about episode 350 or so, got bored came back here, read me some threads, charged me lasorz, got bored, read a bunch a brews, lost a bit of sanity... and signed up here...
FIN.
Now this may seem like I just got on the internet...
How-Ever!
There was a rather long period between when I found mario's comic and when I started to read the orange belt during witch I did other web type stuff.
Oh, yesss... and then there's that other tiny reason I came here. I ruined my reputation at the last forum I went to by having the ocational unfunny joke (usually regarding dr. who), and... double posting... Only once!.. but you know how grudges work.
In any account I took the time to trick out my posts (Why is it that other newbs don't? I don't know). I did my signiture yesterday, it was actually the most programing I ever did, and it was hard because my only internet access is my wii and it lacks the copy and paste ability for linking urls and quoting. I must apoligyse for my avatar, I wanted a portrait of Lord Daemos but the N64 box cover is the best I could do with my wii, maybe I'll fix that at my friend's house.
I'ld also like to take this opertunity to pleage never to hassle mario to update, ever
Also... sticks and stones may brake my bones but the in-tangible act of stealing virtual shoes will never hurt me. :cool:

But thanks! have fun in your month of being away!

PS: Now all we need is for Drastick, and Will to come back, and we'll have the whole set. Except Sammy Jo, she's an ultra rare.
