link lists are evil.

Alright, for those of you who have seen Memento, I have a nice little bit for you to read. It was on my DVD that I bought today (16.75 plus tax). The DVD is sweet. I managed to find another copy of the short story Memento was based off of. It's really quite amazing, and I think it's very well written. I hate to have to link to outside sites, but this is VERY long. It was fifty tv screens and it's nine html pages. So check this bad boy out. If you haven't seen the movie, I suggest you either buy it (well worth it) or rent it. Then read the passage. I'm off to bed. Yay Manual.

"i really don't care, i like my PS2 with all the shiny killer apps that are comming out...Devil May Cry, Silent Hill2, Metal Gear Solid 2, Grant Theft Auto 3, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3, Jak and Dexter"

lets see... all of those games will be on (and improved for) XBOX except for Devil May Cry and Jak and Dexter. Then Jak an Dexter is just crap compared to the "killer aps" like Project Ego and Xavier Fox. The PoS2 is a joke.

BTW, XBOX will also have kid games cuz XBOX gives complete freedom to developers. I mean, Shrek is a launch title. But true, Gamecube is the ultimate kiddie system.

Well, the server was down for most of yesterday. We apologize. Seems our provider not only took down our internet service but our cable service as well. Stupid f*cks. :) Anyway, I had all this math homework to do and Ms. Stewart personally told me to visit her website to get the assignment. Well, this was afterschool and I mentioned I was going to work after I got done talking to her. So I get home at 11:00 and BAM! No internet! So I can't get the assignment. Couldn't call anyone, cause I know most of your parents wouldn't let me, besides most of ya'll are pansies and go to bed at like 10:00 anyway (cough fiend cough). So yeah, internet is back now.

Spork was sick today for the first time in a LONG time. My sore throat and stuffed nose sucked. Anyway, yesterday work calls me in cause this chick didn't show up, so I ended up buying the Incubus album on my break. Originally planned on just copying Grant's, but I figured why not go and support the band. I also found an incubus morning view poster in the store, and I wrote my name on the back! Which means I get to keep it! It's an enlargement of the front cover of the album with the same proportions and stuff. This one guy already had his name on the back, but he wasn't a media employee, and we get first priority. So that along with my star wars shipper should be nice. Anyway, yeah, being sick kind of sucks. So does makeup work. And not getting to go get my extra credit in math. Bummer.

i really don't care, i like my PS2 with all the shiny killer apps that are comming out...Devil May Cry, Silent Hill2, Metal Gear Solid 2, Grant Theft Auto 3, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3, Jak and Dexter...but hey, to each his own. when i see a killer app on ye olden XBoX i'll go buy a used one until then i am happy hooking my NES up in Albright's room and playing Duck Hunt and Super Dodgeball on the projector...hehe fun stuff..

My views on the XBox / PoS2 controversy as a Best Buy Media and Game Specialist Representative:

XBox is gonna r0x0r j00r s0x0r. It will have the sweet hardware, the honorable Chef Penguino is right, it WON'T be based off old formats, and it's gonna be HDTV compatible! It's going to be literally the ultimate entertainment machine. DVD's'll be played with it, it's going to have component, s/video, surround, hdtv outs, resolution settings, etc. Second of all, Chef is right. The PoS2 has a horrible game base. Every single time we try to find a game of a certain type for someone we can never find it. Tons of old people come in looking for little kid games, they dont' have that either. And while nor will the XBox, that's what I'm promoting the gamecube for. It's going to have those games for the little tikes that don't know how to play things like Project Ego. If Bill Gates can put forth so much freaking money like he did on this to basically say "I WANT TO PUT THE OTHER SYSTEMS off the market, then I think the richest man in the world could afford to do it." Just like everything Microsoft has been developing lately, they keep talking to the people and getting their input. Visual Basic and especially the new dot net features are all built off of programmer input. Same with the XBox. They not only talked to the developers who make the games for the xbox, but the consumers as well who want to buy the system.

Spork r0x0rs j00r s0x0rs yet again.

do i have to put the html rant thing? all i do is rant!

but anyway...
first of all, the xbox will pump out better graphics than most PCs for a while. Not because it's better than most PCs, but because ALL XBOX's are 733mhz, with a geForce3 equivelant. PCs, however vary from one another, so games are based on the two year old standard... So most games are designed for like 433mhz.
second of all, sega rules. I also bust out my genesis on ocassion. But they do not make games like shenmue or Project Ego for the genesis. So you have to update, like you udpate your PC. Warcraft 3 WILL NOT WORK ON A 286!!!!
Thirdly, PoS2 is a piece of $*&@, hence it's name: PoS2. It's poorly desgined and had hype in mind, not what the consumer wants. That's why developers hate it, and that why XBOX has more support. The difficulty of programming for it is said to be worse than the SATURN. Why did the saturn die? No one could program for it. The only thing that will keep the PoS2 alive is the fact it had a hyped up fan base.
Fourthly, XBOX is just superior in every facet. SEGA is supporting it like mad, and that's what it's all "aboot, eh?"

but most importantly:

[RANT] Ugh, what's the deal with all these consoles? The last console system I owned was the Sega Genesis... and I still use it, it's still fun, why change? If I want good graphics, that's what my computers for, and it's a hell of a lot easier to control games with a keyboard and mouse, and if not, I can get a gamepad like that of a console for about $10 on sundays at CompUSA. So there. [/RANT]

Anyone been watching "Smallville"? That show is pretty cool. Superman rules! Comic book heroes forever! Heh... I'm out.

waaaaaiiit. so you are implying that if grant had bought the tickets we could have gotten on the floor? noooo. they had floor and arena. i clicked on floor, and they said there were none. then i clicked best available, and they were seats. ack. i dunno. im sorry. yea, mexico was definetly the best. carry on.- jo

ok.....i typed the longest post ever...and it just dissappeard, i'll do my reviews later

kamel

Alright, so I think it's time for my incubus review. First of all, NavySEAL was right, the venue did suck. And the fact that we couldn't go down to the floor, sucked even more. Things were off to a bad start from the beginning. The fact that Dayton was getting Incubus at such a horrible place like Hara in such a terrible city like Dayton over Louisville just made us pissed off. Then, when we got there they seperated the girls from the guys in the line and so we lost Ashley and Joanna right away. Then, the security guard actually took Grant's markers. Apparantly they're weapons. Felt tipped markers as weapons ... How are people supposed to get albums signed with no markers? Anyway, Grant's idea to ask the guard that if he couldn't succeed in stabbing himself through the forehead with his sharpie if he could please take them inside would have been great. Too bad he thought of it inside.

When we got inside, it was time to find Joanna and Ashley. We walked into the main arena and saw a whole bunch of people on the floor. Suddenly, I realized we were being shafted. Walked up to the guard and asked how we get down there. Nope, we don't have floor tickets, we have arena tickets. So we're walking around the arena looking for them and they're not in the stands. Suddenly, Grant catches his eyes on them ... on the floor! We try calling to them, but a guard comes up and says we're not allowed to talk to people on the floor. I ask why not. He says we could get tickets from them and sneak down there. So I ask him if I could stand back and she could stand back. No, of course not. So I ask if I could stand back, she could stand back, and the security guard could not only watch but listen to us and make sure we don't exchange tickets. No, of course not, that would be too simple.

Well, we tried for the next half hour to persuade Joanna to just borrow three tickets from people down on the floor. That way she could walk out of the floor with three tickets, give us each one, and we all walk back in and present our tickets. Then we give the people back their tickets. In case you were wondering, we basically walked along the rail while joanna walked along the rail on the floor and talked to her. Anyway, finally I think Grant managed to go down and make the final persuasion, and apparantly they did try and nobody would give up their tickets even for a few minutes. Screw them :). Anyway, the show started. First came The Start. They weren't bad, I'll admit I wasn't paying too much attention to them because I wanted to get down to the floor, but from what I remember they were good.

Finally, out came Incubus, and they started things off with Privelage. The show, for the most part, was decent. I love their music, what can I say. The show part of the show (like entertaining the crowd) was totally non-existant. That was kind of dissapointing. It would have been nice if Brandon decided to do Azwethinkweiz and he forgot the lyrics again. Oh well. There was an encore, but it wasn't much of an encore. I think they just pretty much took a break. We weren't even cheering that loud and they came back out. I'm guessing they're just pretending like the crowd encores every show and just comes back out. Our Lady Peace's show at Jillian's ... now THAT was an encore. Anyway, Mexico was cool, Warning definitely rocked. I liked Wish You Were Here, only thing was that everyone knew the lyrics, whereas on the others (as Grant mentioned) I was one of the few singing. Apparantly my singing was annoying, but I dont' care. Songs that weren't great: they definitely shouldn't have done Nebula. He really screwed up the rhythm and stuff, in my opinion. He tried to do his little crescendos that are in the song but it just doesn't work live.

Ah yes, my security guard incident. So it's during the start. People keep lighting up behind us and the guards keep seeing it and shining their flashlights on them and then motioning for them to stop. So I'm getting pissed off they keep shining the light in my eyes when they would shine at the people behind me. So everytime I'd hold up my middle finger as a gesture of thanks for the ability to see in the dark. Well, this happened like 3 times before the guard realized I was flicking him off. He shines the light on my face, which sorta drops my hand out of suprise. He runs up the stairs to my row and shines the light on my face again and points his finger at me. Then motiongs for me to follow. I'm just sorta sitting there, sometimes mouthing out "what" and other times just sorta shaking my head no. Finally he won't leave, and about a minute later I was thinking he was about to come and grab me. So I decide to get up and go over there.

Guard: "I'm just trying to do my job, it's for you safety. And if you want to try to give me the finger again I'm going to take this foot and shove it up your ass" (he points to his foot).
Me: "I am going to have your job for saying something like that to me"
Guard: can't remember what he says
Me: "No, really, I'm going to have your job, what is your name"
Guard: again mumbling something I don't remember
Me: "Tell me your name"
Guard: "You want my name?"
Me: "Yes, tell me your name"
Guard: "Bob"
Me: "Tell me your real name"
Guard: "dick"
Me: "Fuck you"

I then walked back to my seat. Anyway, that was the extant of the show, between the start and incubus when they turned on the lights the guard would every now and then look right at me but look away when I noticed. The guy was an idiot for saying his name was dick. Well, yeah, good music, great band, horrible venue, and hopefully next year grant buys the tickets and we get floor seats.

Spork.

Ok, so i didnt post it on my site cause i didnt feel like making up the page and stuff for it and it would require me to work on other parts of the site as well which i am far to lazy to actually do.
Also, SAS has probably already kicked osama's ass. they're damn cool.
Illegal activities, ha! As if piracy is any better! O yea, and iai---imean- "fiend," in that case you owe me $5 ;)
GO BUY THE ALBUM!!! the record companies rape you, but morning view is still worth every penny of it. mine should be coming in tomorrow :D
Finally, this will probably be the extent of my posts seeing as i do have a site of my own and dont really need to post here unless i want to upload some more c++ from school :)
yo admin, you need to parse for smileys like aim, that would be cool

I think that if you're going to post a review and have your own site, you should post it there and link to it from here. Or not, but whatever...

On an update note, looks like us Brits are going to get more involved in the Afghanistan conflict... yay for us! Send in the SAS, they'll get Osama no matter what...

i wasnt going to actually take advantage of my posting privileges but an incubus review seemed necessary.

The venue sucked but the show was good.

Ticketmaster shafted us and gave us "arena" tix instead of "floor." John -er- 'spork' and i couldnt get on the floor due to the fact that we are of the male gender. Seems other people got floor tickets from ticketmaster though. hmm. next time i think i'll buy the tickets myself straight from the venue box office, this is twice we've been shafted on incubus tickets via internet. (ozzfest, summer 2000) Too bad our failsafe plan to get onto the floor didnt work out and even after trying every single security guard we couldnt get down there. Also, the guard at the door took my sharpie marker cause he said it was a "stabbing weapon." geez. I wanted to get backstage and get my album covers signed seeing as i brought in the liners to EVERY INCUBUS ALBUM RELEASED THUS FAR. grr. the guards up front looked like assholes too cause they were pulling down crowd surfers and stuff. too bad i wasnt down there or i could comment a bit more on that one. hopefully john -damnididitagain- 'spork' will post a dialogue of his conversation with one of the guards. very funny. betwen theSTART and incubus I even offered one my fone as collateral to go find the other half of our group for 3 minutes just to find out where to meet after the show (and work on borrowing some legit ticket stubs go get down on the floor). o well. i think in retaliation i'm starting a promotions company and we're gonna book incubus to headliners and make anybody who wants to go pass a written lyrics proficiency test and present at least 2 incubus albums to get in. that'll show all the teeny boppers who just wanna get backstage cause they think brandon smells good. ack, they make me sick. i think it was in spin that they had a thing on incubus as an "accidental sex icon" funny stuff. Mike was also in guitar one, so if you're into that go read it, its really good.

Anyways, the show was still good. They played a couple tracks from morning view (warning, nice to know you, mexico, wish you were here) spork is an elitist who made a point of singing along extra loud to the ones we werent supposed to know cause the album isnt out yet. hehe. Bradon did his little stripping routine for the ladies just like at ozzfest, taking off a layer of clothes and tokeing up backstage between songs. I think he got progressively crazier as the show went on. unfortunately they didnt really do anything cool like playing covers or even talking to the audience and there was really no stage show except for some trippy projections of the back wall. spinning chuck heads! hell yea! But thats ok, they're such a talented band they dont need to do anything crazy to make a good show. When warning came on it sent chills down my spine. its gotta be my favourite incubus song yet. That and when he was doing some really cool lyrical harmony stuff in "the warmth" and a couple others.

o yea, and theSTART was pretty good for a warm up band. They werent great and at the time i was absoultely fuming over being in arena seating instead of on the floor so i couldnt even listen that much. Incubus was way better but their performance was worth the 45 minutes or so it lasted.

Thats about it. i was gonna copy down a track listing but my pen was contraband so i dont have that exactly. Definitely worth the trip, too bad we couldnt get on the floor, cool that joanna and ashley could, great band, great show, lousy venue, definitely gotta go see their next tour, hopefully closer to home, i'm done now, later.

*NavySEAL2B*

so yea. we're back from incubus. it was great. hm. well john's leaving now, its 3.05 am. it was fun. the concert too. ah so great .. we were .. up there. like .. up there. even with our arena tix, not floor. we were UP THERE! 2nd row .. able to touch the security guards (woowoo). i dunno. it was great. couldnt breathe, smelled like weed, but it was great. go brandon, go mikey. im sorry john and grant .. we really really tried to get you two down there .. maybe next time they tour, ok? we'll sit in the seats and give you the floor. but ok, i think im going to sleep now. goodnite everybody!

Noone ever takes me to see Incubus... I mean, how hard is it for one of you to pay for my ticket and give me a ride? Huh? Anyway, There had better be a review up soon...

Tonight, I'm off to my friend's birthday party, maybe I'll post a review of that... or not. Instead, I'll leave you with a link that has ABSOLUTELY NO meaning whatsoever to you... and here it is. Go Hammers!!!

I could be a loser like Kamel and post 30 "INCUBUS"'s in a row. But instead, I'll just say that Jo, NavSEAL2B, Spork (that's me), and AsherKrasher are all going to go see Incubus today. We leave in about an hour and a half, so I gotta go get ready. Server will obviously stay up and I'll post a review sometime. Just like Kamel promised to do.

Spork.

Has anyone talked to Grant since yesterday afternoon? I bet they shipped him off to Afghanistan to kill Osama bin Laden... that's the "special forces" they're talking about that were in the country fighting alongside the Northern Alliance...

Man, I can't believe that Morning View is coming out next week... it'll be no fun having the album AFTER it's released, y'know? Anyway, I'm off to work at the other house.

I tell her how in college I had a wart once. On my penis, only I say dick. I went to medical school to remove it. The wart. Afterwards, I told my father. This was years after, and my dad laughed and told me I was a fool because warts like that are nature's French tickler. Women loved them and God was doing me a favor.
Marla says those warts that are God's French ticklers give women cervical cancer.

We've got another XBOX convert! Don't hate cuz its microsoft, gates didnt touch the thing, he just paid THE ROCK to advertise for it. It's designed by gamers, game designers, and the people who made the microsoft controllers. And everything is based on gamer and game designer surveys. And windows is good! It managed to make everybody use it, which allowed for more games! and games is what it's all about!

back on target before i get into the real hardcore rant...
John is an XBOX convert! he has turned aside his Gamecube ways! w00t! But gamecube is far mor acceptable than the PoS2...er, PS2.

but if you see john, give him a big hug or congratulations or something. and DON'T support the BS2...er, PS2. designers hate it as much as the SATURN!

This message is to mostly the spork ops. But regular users read this as well so you know what's up when the following happens.

Things seem to be in the possibility of becoming a problem. It's not bad yet, but I'd like to address the issue regardless. People are starting to use the site as a message board. Basik posting "Can someone take me to the incubus concert" is entirely not what spork news is about. A review of incubus, incubus news, something like that would be more relevant. El Chef Penguino (Phil Becker) posted something in response to something someone else said, and I felt it was too conversationally like a message board post, so I removed it. I would remove Basik's post if it weren't for the fact that FiEnD's only slightly less message board like post refers to it.

Yes, that's right. I'm doing the bitchy things administrators are known for. I merged follow up posts, downsized kamel's thps image resolution, deleted phil's post. Fiend had a post of one line that he had to add to the previous one and I merged it to save room. I realize that I don't have editing post options available for now, and that's why I'm being more leniant on the merging thing. It's just you all have personal sites. If you want to, I'll even make a message board script. Real basic, nothing fancy. And don't worry about news post mistakes, I'm working on a nice little edit news item script.

Me.

You guys want to kidnap me and give me a ticket to the Incubus concert? I'm grounded, so I can't go, otherwise I would probably have bought the tickets from kamel today...

In other news, for some reason I wore my John Lennon shirt to school today and got more comments about it than I have for any other shirt. I think I'll start wearing other shirts of mine now, that I don't normally wear... be worried.

you guys wanna give me a ride to the Incubus concert?

I just figured that I should post something, because my last post is all the way at the bottom of the page and I don't want anyone to forget about me.

Nick got a date? Ha! I don't know if I believe that. I mean, come on, look at his last post... he's obsessed with computer games... Oh, wait, so am I, and I've had the same girlfriend for what... 1 year, 2 weeks? Hmm, guess I'd better shut up now.

Oh, one more thing... don't end up like this, okay, Nick? (Thanks jo for the link!)

I remembre linked lists, man that sh*t was easy.....and john, grants code is more compact than yours, however, yours is more robust than grant's. So then it becomes a petty arguement of which is more important, i prefer compact, so i choose grants. heheh.. good luck on the AP test guys, first time you pratice it is gonna be a kick in the balls, like, "Holy SHIT! this is actually trickey!" but then i got a 5 so if you both don't i will make fun of you from college while you are seniors. ho..hum...code....go learn perl, much much better than C++.

I don't know which is better...the fact that i broke 700,000 points (screen shot comming soon to prove it) on THPS2 and beat Brian's high score which i have been trying to do for about 3 weeks, or that i got a date saturday.....an i a nerd, or a really really big nerd.....decisions decisions....

oh hell yes sporky son!

kamel (Nicholas Scott Mattei)

There used to be code here, but I removed it cause I was finished saving it to file. Grant and I just needed to post it on the site cause ftp wasn't working so we could work on it at home.

There was never a question of which was better.

Just wanted to comment that thespork.com has been up for almost 2 years now, but the actual ASP version has been a little bit more than a year now. I'm not sure as to the exact creation of TheSpork.com 2.0 (which is pretty much the version we're in right now, actually, morelike 2.51 or something like that), but I know that I stopped the screwy drop down menus a year ago. Just go to the news archive and look at the first post ever. It wasn't even a real post, I don't count that one as one. I dont think the second one was either. But somewhere along the timelime I created this news script, that's when I consider the creation of TheSpork.com 2.0.

I really should make a 3.0 soon.

That'd be funnnnnn.

Same thing, in bed at midnight with none of my homework done, remember two assignement I hadn't done in addition to the other two and got back up and did a whole bunch of my work ... now all I have left is to study which I'll be doing at school.

Everyone's Favorite Guy,
Spork.

hm .. jos a bit behind in the posting. fufu berry jones soda is best. mine has a hot guy on it. but i guess that doesnt apply to ANYONE here, huh! muahahah.well thats all i have to say. err .. go see eric. emotional guy with lots o time. i dunno. ::runs away::to add - sporks are fun, yes .. but when you can have CHOPSTICKS, who cares!! ^_^ but yes, no use to hate on sporks.whohoa .. they have metal sporks?- jo

First, one would realize that a spork IS round. Whoever thought up the idea that they're not was smoking crack. Sure they're not spherical, but nor is the earth, so there. A spork is round and don't say otherwise.

Secondly, one would realize that the spork has been around long before they started using sporks in fast food restaurants. They were making metal sporks back in that one period when they would have so much silver sitting around they'd make utensils out of it just to show off their wealth. Disgusting I know, but some great utensilman in the early days of our history as eithe americans or humans even created the spork, not Ronald McDonald.

Lastly, sporks have plenty of use. First of all, the convenience of the hybrid utensil. You don't have to switch untensils while eating, you don't have to clean 2 utensils - just one, and of course fast food restaurants (whichever the first one was) was VERY smart for adopting the idea of using sporks because it cuts the costs of making utensils for customers practically in half. Also, the metal sporks work great as forks and some even have very deep bowls for great spoon action as well. Granted the plastic ones are slightly less useful, but plastic is plastic.

Indeed, sporks come in a variety of different shapes, colors, materials, prong numbers, prong lengths, bowl depth, etc. This practically symbolizes the great diversity of this nation that most of us visitors live in (Yes, I have friends in other countries). To you spork haters who feel the need to bash such a great invention, you're just jealous that your stupid bowl with a cup handle didnt' take off as well as the spork has. You're the ones disgracing your families and should live in shame. You should do be taken out back and shot execution style just to restore acknowledgement of your family. Your honor will never come again.

The same fast food places that have brought you such great plastic utensils as the McDonald's knife! Known for it's ability to cut...ABOSLUTELY NOTHING! I tried to cut my tongue with them, and what do i get? NOTHING! These people gave as the plastic spork! And we take it! Rise up and burn all spork lovers!
And thirdly, sporks are useless. They aren't good enough to be spoons because of the holes, and they aren't good enough to be forks because there not enough of a prong to poke anything! These are the scurge of humanity! We have dishonored ourselves and our families. Those who have used this demonic utensils should commit sepeku to restore honor to their families and themselves....

Thank you, come again!

I'm so proud of myself. I went to bed about 2 hours ago having only finished my US History reading. I still had to do some quotes for US Hist and hadn't even read the article I was supposed to turn an essay in on tomorrow first period. I was lieing in bed, and eventually through will power forced myself to get out of bed and write the essay, which I originally intended on quote "leaving at home". But I actually got up at about 12:10ish maybe (not really sure exactly the time) and read the article and started to write the essay, and started out a little shaky but then got on a roll. I finished with a really long essay that I'm proud of, and now I'm about to go to bed with only my 3-5 quotes left to do. Now, I just have to make sure I literally this time don't leave it at home like I was originally intending. Also, I'm probably going to get a 2/5 on it anyway, but hey, at least I did it, and when I was supposed to for that matter.

Yay Daft Punk, I bought Homework today. My god, two cd's in two weeks, and two software purchases in one day (saturday). What is happening to me?!?!

Spork.

So, I'm sure you've all heard about the attacks on Afghanistan... and here's what happened, in case you haven't:

Hey, I want some Jones... best f*ckin' drink ever.... I remember once, waaay back when, I found some place selling Jones Soda for 25 cents a bottle... those were the days.

Noone came into Donut Kastle, damnit. Their donuts are so good...

Anyway, I've got work to do at my new house, so I'll leave. Just remember:

Support your right to keep and arm bears!

--Fiend

A whole slew of updates in the past ... day or two. What I particularly like about the picture below is the 8 bottles of jones soda. Jones rocks. Fiend knows what I'm talking about. I drank all 8 bottles that night. A lot of the flavors are very similar. Like orange cream and strawberry cream.

If anyone wants to know why the pic script isn't working there are 2 reasons. 1) John is one lazy son of a b*tch. and 2) If he lets me upload pics, stuff like this will show up: let me see if i can use some of that HTML that I am susposed to know.....

Let's hope that worked, this post will proably get deleted soon anyway....notice the abudance of wine sitting behind john, that is kamel's basement...

I didn't drink anything besides water for 3 months once (a whole summer). Also, Erluti (also Boofungal) wanted props for the "You're either British or retarded" bit. I thought I'd quote him, usually when I say that at school and stuff I'll be like "and to quote the great philip becker, you're either british or retarded". Anyway, yeah, Fiend's a wanker apparently. He said so himself.

I was thinking about making the news script automatically parse smiley faces. That wink of fiend's is kinda nifty. and the script wouldn't be hard, it'd be just like AIM's. Crappy and unintelligent, so that something like (::insert::) would turn into a smiley. Actually, what I could do is make it so that it would have to be a whole word smiley to work. That's all AOL had to do. But no, they've probably got one of line of code like "replace(";-)","img src=smiley") or something.

Finally, I think I'll make a script for each op to have info and shizat, and a place to suggest songs. That'd be kind of cool. You know, add some content to the site so that the 5 or 6 of us that visit the site (us spork ops) can have something to look at every now and then other than our own posts.

I'll use french whenever I want to... which isn't very much, of course, but hey. So, I am officially a soccer mum. I've been driving around in my dad's minivan (Well, technically it belongs to the Kentucky Art and Craft Foundation, but he's the only one who drives it.) Early 90's Plymouth Voyager, I'm pimpin' all over town on my hot new wheels...

You know, I think I might have to start reccomending music for everyone to listen to... so to start with, how about this little number? Silverchair - Shade. You all know Sil
