Post by: The D on Apr 15, 2006, 03:11:02 PM: I expected someone to say something like that, but not in the second post. Anyway, it will take more than a small helecopter to penetrate my underground fortress.

News helicopters were everywhere and my street was blocked off.

Fun fun fun.

Walking among the wreckage was pretty bad, particularly when you found bloody chunks all around and tried not to step on all the pilot pieces while carrying a scope, tripod, and Philadelphia rod....

I'm still not sure how planes can clip each other in midair. I assume you could see them coming unless they're coming up behind you, and you just move out of the way.

Quote
A Philadelphia Level Rod consists of two sliding sections graduated in hundredths of a foot and joined by brass sleeves. Two sections make it easier to transport. Can be used as a short rod for readings of 7' or less, to a long rod for heights up to 13'. It has a rear section that slides on the front section. When a high rod is needed, the rod must be fully extended, otherwise a serious mistake will result in the reading. Graduations on the front faces of the two sections read continuously from 0–13'. A Philadelphia rod can be read accurately with a level at distances up to 250'.

She did say she was taking an extra two weeks or so in addition to actual Spring Break.

Planes fly over all the time where I live since I'm now in such close proximity to the air force base. They look huge, sometimes like they're reading to drop right down on you.

Post by: B E C K on Apr 22, 2006, 12:05:20 AM: What are you talking about? What about the voice chats where she's joined in? I'm certain you had to have been present at one of those. In fact, I think you were the wanker that told us we sounded alike.
Title: The sky is falling!!!!!!
Post by: Rama on Apr 22, 2006, 12:15:44 AM: Well then I've forgot what she sounds like cause it's not coming to mind. I remember what you sound like, but I just don't recall ever hearing her voice. I may have, I may not have. I don't really care. And sorry if I offended you if I said you sounded alike. It would really be the only way you two were alike if I did.

Post by: B E C K on Apr 22, 2006, 12:40:43 AM: Nah, I'm just being a bitch about it. Other people have told us we sound alike and even look like.

Post by: Sixty Nine on Apr 23, 2006, 03:06:23 PM: I often mistake people I know very well on the phone if I don't speak to them on the phone often simply because the phone distorts your voice and you really can't reckognise someone on the phone unless you talk to them on the phone a lot. Like my brothers I get confused with each other. My mother and her sister I'm like "well I'll assume this isn't my mother since I'm looking right at her...". It's not like they're talking to me from another room and I'm mistaking them. I'd never miss that one up.

I think I'm okay when I mess up my mom's twins brothers. "Um... J something called (Their names are, confusingly, Jean-Paul and Jean-Jaques).

Transformers the Movie. Starscream asks Galvatron, "Megatron...is that you?" to which he replies, "HERE'S A HINT" in his new, gravelly Leonard Nimoy voice--transforming into a purple cannon and blowing him to ash.

Personally I don't like southern accents, but I despise latin accents (because of the cubans). The only exceptions are that matt mconahey (or however you spell his name), johnny cash, kenny rogers, and the spanish chick from vanilla sky...her voice is what imagine hearing a spanish kitten purr would sound like if kittens had nationalities.
