Dear Moving Thread.

It's been a while and I haven't bothered to read most of the posts before this but I just want you to know that everyone who has posted above is wrong.

All of them.

Sylvr

I'd like to point out that you're the first post on a new page so it looks like you're talking to no one. :D

I had a monstrous nightshift this night. I am sitting here and can't move because everywhere I reach I tip over a can of caffeinated beverage, or a coffee mug. One of those big ones. I made a nice little pic. I started at home but then I moved to a McDonalds, where I drew most of the pic and started to ink it. I finished it at home, just around midnight, scanned it and then began to colour it. It is now almost 8 in the morning, last time I saw my bed was 30 hours ago and man I like that pic.

I feel good.

Pic or it didn't happen ;)

I obliged.

[edit]
No I didn't. I promised that pic a friend.

Then again, she said it was okay and I AM an attention-seeking guy with a hat.

I got a new job in February, as a laborer in a forging department of an auto parts factory. I haven't been there for a month yet and I was suddenly told I will be going to Michigan for 4 days for training at the sister company (from Ontario to Michigan - like 5 hour trip). It's unbelievably surreal. I can understand if I was a team leader, department manager or quality control manager, but I'm just a laborer. Where I work there's a 3 month probation where they can fire me at any point for any reason, so it seems odd to take that kind of a risk on an employee who's only been there for 3 weeks. I asked the one team leader and he said the manager just likes me and sees something promising in me.

I'll have a company car for the journey and $50 a day for food. This is awesome. I'm glad my passport was in order or I would've missed this opportunity - I had only a weeks notice.

Accident hey? Sounds a bit too convenient to me...

Forgery???

I smell a CONSPIRACY THEORY!

Where were you when JFK supposedly landed on the moon Mssrs. Sylvr, Ghost & Timothy? - If indeed those are your real names.

Ah dang, Moving Thread! IntenseDegree found me out!

Actually I was just behind Mr Kennedy that day. My crystal ball had- the night before, which was a dark and stormy one- told me that, should I shoot him dead and kill him, it would evolve into a catchphrase of insane popularity.
So I killed Kennedy. And just because "Kenny" was a bit easier to pronounce the South Park makers got all the money and all I got was this shirt.
Sad story, but true.

Dear Moving Thread - I found out today that every single spam mail I have ever received was actually some sort of crypto-mnemonic note to myself which I wrote and sent while I was drunk, sleeping or in comparably altered states of mind. I found traces of spam emails in every text I have written, from personal notes to love letters, poems, invoices and academic papers, and finally even posts in this very forum! I am slowly starting to suspect that everything I have ever thought and bothered to write down on any kind of digital device with access to the internet has been chopped to bits and sent to the uncountable number of email addresses of an uncountable number of identities I have created while writing spam emails, only I have not been able to reconstruct them all from the senders and CCs in the emails I have received in the accounts I have regular access to.

Dear Moving Thread...should I turn to purely paper based text work? Or should I abandon all text and shift my activities to the acoustic domain? Or will this provoke spam calls on my cell phone?

Dear Moving Thread, maybe it is time to move on.
I, object.

Dear moving thread,
I'm really not sure why this thread is still in the RON section, but anyway..

After over 40 hours of having no electricity... IT'S BACK! I'm so excited. I was so bloody bored. I actually took out the old dust covered, B&W original gameboy just for something to do. It's the only battery powered gaming device I own, besides my laptop or cellphone. I couldn't believe how terrible they were. Very poor refresh rate. I always remembered having a hard time focusing on fast moving objects or screens. I nearly cracked and drove to the nearest city with power to buy a 3DS.

Dear Moving Thread,

My plot to allow Ryan Timothy to rekindle his love for the Gameboy has failed. I had hoped that by cutting the power to his neighborhood and leaving him with nothing to do while sitting in the darkness would finally give him the opportunity to rediscover what drew him into the world of gaming in the first place. Alas, it was not to be. All he did was eat the leftover pizza in his fridge and peruse his emergency collection of old issues of Hustler and Swank and touch himself in ways that makes the Pope sad. Despite my best intentions, it seems all his neighbors froze to death during Canadian Spring for nothing.

Oh well. Now it's off to Scotland to convince Frodo to dig her old Atari our of the attic and give Night Driver another try. Wish me luck, Moving Thread. I (and Frodo's neighbors) will surely need it. (She has a HUGE porn collection in her closet).

Your pal,

Ponch

Dear Moving Thread 

The oddest thing happened to me today, as I lay in my sick bed (I have flu). 

I had dug out my old Atari console, and rigged it up, so I could play in bed, and was happily enjoying a round of Night Driver... when a cow burst in to my room!!!   :shocked:

I couldn't believe it!  A cow!!!   :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

I rubbed my eyes, but when I opened them again, the cow was still there. 

It pulled open the door of my closet, and dumped a pile of pron magazines.  Then... it sat down on the floor, and started reading said magazines!  A cow reading pron is quite an unusual sight, I'm sure you will agree. 

However, I tried to put it out of my mind, and concentrate on the game I was playing.  But while I had been distracted, another car had crached into me, making me lose.  It's all the cow's fault!   :tongue:

Seing that I had lost the game, the cow started mooing manically... then left.   :confused:

It must be the fever!   :=

Dear moving thread, why am I wasting my time posting this post when I should be working on my next game?

Ghost

Dear Moving Thread,

they say that every so often you should try out new things. They say it makes life more exiting, you know, and besides, it keeps you up to date with current events because naturally all the old things you did are, well, old.

So today I went and did just that, I got up early, had a nice breakfast of Wiener Schnitzel and cold potatoe (that was NOT a new thing) and then, encouraged by the reassuring gurgling in my tummy, I went to do three new things.

The first thing was, I put the theory that new media is evil to the test. So far I had just assumed the fact to be true, but hey, I had to start somewhere, right? My test subject was a video game console. The newest one I own is a Nintendo DS Light. It was all rad and cool once but these days cellphones have better games, so yes. I got myself an upgrade. It was laughably simple, too, I just had to paint myself until I looked exactly like the wall I had chosen to lurk against, then I had to lurk against it until a dude with a freshly bought console came out of the shop the wall was part of, and then I had to run much faster than your average wall, clutching the console against my wildly beating heart. The thrill! The adventure!
For a short shocking moment I thought that I was actually trying out TWO new things, a new console AND theft-while-being-disguised-as-a-wall, but then I remembered that I had once stolen a guy's thunder in a school by having the same Transformers toy, and back then walls were pretty generic, so yes. I was defenitely just trying out ONE new thing, and with glee I unpacked the console.
It was a WiiU, and a careful exorcism (again, nothing NEW here) proved it was not evil.
That was a good start, and the scorched curtains were easy to replace.

The next NEW THING, that much was clear, should be food-related, because I like food and I had fun with the WiiU so it became apparent that I also seem to like new things, so a new food would be super-fun.
Moving Thread, you will NOT believe it, but I found the most delicious thing. I call it the Ghoststuffer because I am Ghost and I made it and ate it and hell, I was stuffed!
Can I confine in you, Moving thread? It's not actually a completely new type of food... but it has a new name. I will note the recipe here because you MOVE. Gotta keep this one in circulation!

You need:
six slices of pumpernickel
1 fried egg
six slices of corned beef
salad
mustard
grated cheese
1 tomato
margarine

Basically you just spread margarine on every slice of bread, stack them with all the good stuff between them, ocasionally adding mustard, tomatoe and/or salad, top it with the fried egg and grated cheese and then put it on the oven for five minutes.

I agree, Moving Thread, that a sandwich, even an awesome sandwich like the Ghoststuffer, is not radically new, and to be fair, it's just a cheap ripoff of a Reuben sandwich anyways, so I shifted my focus a little. The second new thing that I had tried today had turned out to be Foodstuff-Related Copyright Infringement. I called John Romero, and he said I should not worry, there are worse things.

Still, I was determined to make the last new thing something special. Are you ready, Moving Thread?

Are you?

GOOD- I knew I could count on you. You're always there, patient and calm. You're special. So yes, here it comes: I have, so far, not written a post in you longer than 50 words.
Now I have.

Thank you, Moving Thread, where-ever youll be tomorrow.

Hey, Moving thread buddy,

Despite Ponch's attempts to get me to play gameboy, I just ordered a 3DS XL. I figured: what the hey. I don't know what games I'll be buying, but for now I'll just borrow my brother's.

Good times ahead, MT. Good times ahead.

Ryan Timothy B

MT,
At work, here in Canada, there's 2 Mexican visitors from the sister company in Mexico. We're teaching them how to make and measure a product we make.

The one is a man and the other is a beautiful, intelligent, friendly, small and skinny woman my age. She speaks amazing English (even French!). I haven't personally shown any interest in her (other than the odd stare when she isn't looking, ha!) and her colleague is randomly trying to hook me up with her. She does smile at me from time to time, but it's very likely to just be a friendly smile. I was talking to him one day, told him my age after he asked me and then he immediately said her and I should date. He has even talked to me about her and I marrying. Ha! He even says "She's alone in the afternoons, you should go on a date with her". Unfortunately they're here for 2 more weeks and I'm starting afternoons Monday; basically this weekend is my last opportunity to get to know her.

So he's basically planted a seed in my brain and now she is all I can think of while I work. She's downright distracting and alluring. I absolutely must ask her on a date tomorrow because I feel it's something I'll regret if I don't. The problem is I am not working with her or relatively near her. Maybe 30 ft away on opposite machines. So it'll feel much more awkward to randomly approach her and ask her on a date. But I strongly think I'll man up and ask her tomorrow. I need to do this.

She's wearing these baggy and short white coveralls (which we all have to wear) and she looks downright unbelievable in them. And when she's running the one press she has to stand on a stool! OMG. *drool*. The one day she must've sat down on something in the plant because as she was working, her white coveralls had a dirty bum; as if it wasn't distracting enough.

Argh! Moving thread, why did you make us humans to be so attracted to each other. It's unbearable. :P

Dear Moving Thread,

I miss the good old days, when Ryan Timothy would approach me for advice about women on skype/MSN instead of doing it in a public forum. I'd tell him to be honest with her and that liking pretty girls is a wonderful thing and to absolutely not tell her any of the Spanish phrases Grundislav has taught me and that 2 weeks is a surprisingly long time.

:kiss:

Ryan, maybe doing the Mexican Wave can help? Single Mexican Waves have been done before.
Working on a RON game!!!!!
