Just go over to the critics lounge and post your stuff. It can't hurt.
The only reason one would not post in there is some sort of fear that your thread might get pushed down and lost in the crowd.
I post in there every once in a while and it's always been appreciated.

Another reason could be a user once got involved in a nasty argument or incident there.

Lots of people have been involved in nasty arguments on most of the boards here, and they're still around, so just get back on the horse and giddyap!

Where I'm serving in the military, there's some guy who's obviously gay, but we all like him. I noticed that whenever we joke about gayhood, we never include him in our jokes when he's present. But when he's not, our gayhood jokes usually involve him (eg "put something on before X rapes you" etc).

Well, gay jokes can be funny and open-minded...this one however...

I think that a month for a game is too short when you must learn AGS too in this time.I would make it a bi-monthly competion.

doesn't bi-monthly just mean twice a month?

Not trying to be a smartarse here but you are spot on correct and silly of me not to notice it before

Actually no, bi-monthly means every other month (6 times a year).

That's no different than what I said, 6 times a year would mean one every 2 months considering there's 12 months in a year.

etc...

May I step in and say that bi-monthly can mean both. The distinction is slightly better defined with years; we have biennial which is every second year, and semi-annual which is twice per year, but confusingly enough, semi-annual can also be synonymous to biannual.
When it comes to months, the term semi-monthly is most often used as twice per month, but there are lots of references to every other month as well, making it rather useless a word.

It seems best to avoid the terms altogether.

I'm extremely relaxed when it comes to these things. I can easily joke about it among my friends and I've even discussed whom I'd rather be with had I been gay.

As a side note, my grandfather thought I was gay for a very long time since I could never present a proper girlfriend before him. My family laughed a lot about this, especially since they were well aware of my sporadic nightly escapades and various short-lived attempts at relationships. Once he even read a letter I'd written to a local newspaper where I harshly condemned some priests that had petitioned against gay marriage, and this made him even more determined. I never took offense, of course.
Luckily, gramps got to live to see me in a proper relationship before he died, and made very good friends with her too.

So you can sign in as Evil? Interesting.

Oh, I wasn't aware of this negative attitude towards Myspace
Ah well, I'll toy around with it for a bit and see what it leads to.
Thanks anyway for your kind words!

Finally got around to create a myspace music account. That's one step in the direction of doing something fruitful with my music, I guess.

Haven't had time to add friends yet, just dabbled with the coding for a bit, mostly due to a sudden streak of insomnia. So if you have an account, please be my friend
Oh, and tell me what you think of the music as well, of course. Cheers!

I don't get it, why are the Russians going to bomb CJ?

For jokingly not giving tech support to russians       
I am not saying that this is true i am joking

So CJ is actually giving tech support to Russians, or what?

Yeah the other teacher was just some 2 years younger than myself, which makes it almost strange that they chose to go to me instead of some older, mother-like teacher...maybe they hoped I'd go and punch him in the face.

LGM, get yer arse in gear!!

So the other day in school, one of my pupils approaches me in the corridor. She seems to have something urgent on her mind, and some meters away, a little group of girls follow her closely while they whisper nervously amongst eachother. We're talking 12-13 year-olds here (I teach kids from 12-16 currently).
She starts telling about how her two friends - two of the bystanders - have had MSN-contact with a young male teacher for about a year now (already at this point, I probably raised my eye-brows a bit) and how his behaviour during these chat-sessions had gradually increased in intimacy. Some week ago, it had culminated in pure sexual harassment on his part, and the girls had ceased all Internet contact with him. I was rather shocked by now.
So I take the two girls in question (after having thanked my own pupil for being so brave and wise to bring this up with an adult) to the student health counsellor, and bring the head teacher, and some sort of emergency meeting takes place where the girls are properly interviewed one by one. It turns out he had also been mildly physical with them in the corridors; hugged them a bit too often, approached them a bit too enthusiastically.

After this I'm sort of off the case and return to my daily teaching chores.
Some days later, the young male teacher - whom I had only met occassionally and never really spoken to properly - is interrogated and apparently confesses. He's suspended from his job and the police takes over the case.

I'm left rather puzzled. At first I had accepted the possibility that it might be a very vicious conspiracy - not that I mistrust the kids in question, but because kids in that age, over all, aren't very conscientious witnesses, and often fabricate or add to their stories afterwards.  But these particular kids left very straight and credible testimonies without any contradictions whatsoever.

My other impulse was that a person this careless might be calling for help. I mean, everybody now has heard of web-paedophiles getting caught, and everybody knows that chat records will be saved and that IP-addresses can be traced. And even if you can't control this urge...why pick kids at your own school? You're bound to get caught.

Lastly, I can't help but wondering how far this scum would have gone, had he not been revealed. The victims themselves weren't really about to tell anyone (except some close friends), they just thought it enough to block him from MSN.
I'm very satisfied that my own pupil had enough confidence in me to choose me as her channel for this. I must have done something right there

Anyhow, quite dramatic. Like things you read about in the papers.

Unreal stuff can still look realistic. A cat-person can look like a real cat-person, even if cat-people don't exist.
As for the drawing...try to decide whether you want to pursue either of the following (and stick to it):
1. An inked, stylished cartoon, with clean lines and raster shading.
2. A pencil-drawn portrait with soft gradients.

...because right now, it seems a bit in the middle.

And go for either cat eyes or human eyes, for some reason the hybrid doesn't work very well, especially since the whole face is rather assymetrical.

It's not a bad attempt, but it has some issues.
I'm at work right now, but I'll probably do a rather major paint over when I get the time.

Very 3D, and very Goth.
Not my favourite combo, but I guess it's pretty.

Uhm? Don't know where I got that from. But it was hilarious to read "I see mine daily" and still thinking you're a female.
And with hilarious I mean slightly gross.

Eric, are you trying to say that the image of erected penises colliding appeals to you?
If so...A/S/L?

There is nothing more evil than a bunch of European scientists.

Nice reading LGM (as if I read it all), it's only slightly worse than the AGS chain story
