Represent! - Page 8

Toto_Kaos · 09-24-2004, 12:41 PM

There is one minor difference between these two threads. Represent merely asks you where you live, where as this thread not only wants to know where you live, but how you feel about it. Hell, if you really want to get creative you could even say where you would live if you could live anywhere.

Ex. I live in Austin, Tx. which is a kick-ass city. Given the choice though, I would love to live in either Ireland or Amsterdam.

WolfMoon · 09-24-2004, 01:40 PM

I'm failing to see the difference cuz you can put that info in the Represent thread if you are so inclined.

AlKilyu · 09-24-2004, 02:05 PM

I'm gonna create a new topic for people to post their pics in and how they feel about their pics. It will be totally different from the "Picture Post" thread.

But first I'm gonna get banned and log on as another user with a misspelled name.

Then I will smoke more crack.

WolfMoon · 09-24-2004, 02:14 PM

LMFAO!

Ah,you slay me,Al.

I don't remember if I've posted on this thread... oh well. I live in VERY southern Illinois. There are lots of hippies (some of them are pretty cool) and lots of Rednecks (ergo, I am always running from people when spending time with any of my more belligerant friends) and no gothic scene to speak of. The nice thing is that there is a college about a half an hour away that has a lot of sister colleges in other parts of the world, so I am by no means culturally deprived. But, some how, a lot of kids here still have to do the "Ewww! It's a foreign kid!" thing. It's absolutely rediculous. There are too many misquitos down here, and too much humidity in the summer.

BTW- I've always wanted to go to Japan, you lucky duck

Woot to the midwest!

I'm from southwest Ohio, along the river. I got o University of Cincinnati, and commonly get mistaken for a fanatic, as the school colors are red and black, and so is the large part of my wardrobe.

Jane13 · 09-29-2004, 05:14 PM

Ha ha ha.. I have the same problem, my school colors are black and white!

punkirony · 09-30-2004, 08:20 PM

I live three miles away from the tallest sea cliffs in the world in. I live in the mountains on a little Island called Moloka'i in Hawai'i. This island is only 40 miles long and 15 miles wide.

Maimy · 10-01-2004, 07:09 PM

punkirony, my big brother has been archaeologizing in your neck of the woods off and on for about - sheesh, thirteen or fourteen years now ... I believe Moloka'i is his favorite of the islands.

(My neice's second middle name: Kau***************. No lie. *Grin*)

(*Be's haole*)

~Chuckle~

A quick nod to Maimy for posting the 187th post in this thread...

Am I the only one who recognizes what a code 187 is?...

~sigh~

Yes... I have no life...

~Chuckle~

Now back to your regularly scheduled respective mayhem making...

~The Gypsy~

edible_eye · 10-01-2004, 07:44 PM

no fair.

what's a code 187?

that's like saying - wait 'til you hear about... never mind.

rude, dude.

ohthefuckwell · 10-01-2004, 08:05 PM

*debates if she should let edible_eye just wonder*
:twisted:

also a not-so-great sam jackson movie.

gingerbreadwench · 10-01-2004, 08:14 PM

It's the police code for a homicide!

Clever clever girl I am. And too in love with Samuel L. Jackson to care that the movie sucked.

edible_eye · 10-01-2004, 08:43 PM

ah. thanx.

i feel like my brain expanded just a little bit.

Jane13 · 10-02-2004, 08:28 AM

Thanks for being the first one to ask, EE. I didn't know either.

I'm trying to figure out what the hell your neices name means. Do you know? I can't figure it out. It has something to do with something belonging to the god Hina. I have no idea how i remember who Hina was. Oh yeah! Legends say that she was the mother of Moloka'i! Oh the intelligence of Jessie. that'll do Jessie, that'll do. I've done well, There might be some mistakes in the translation of her name. (ie. 'ohina' , i think, should be 'ahina'.) It's a pretty name though. My Hawaiian name is Lei'olapa. It means "Graceful Lei" I think. Olapa is also a leaf that is made into a lei, so technically, I'm named after a lei. Only my cousin's Kumu (teacher) calls me by that name. To everyone else, I'm Jessie(Jessica, legally

.)

Hey! Now everyone knows my real name. Jessie Jessie Jessie Jessie!

And to you other One Eight Seven movie haters! That movie did suck. It was on of Samuel's worsts. The only part of the movie that got me really captivated was when they played Russian Roulet.

Maimy · 10-11-2004, 05:17 PM

Kau*************** - I know he researched very carefully, so would be surprised if the O were incorrect. But it basically means 'the sacred rains on the mountain of Hina'. She's pretty sacred, our Crown Princess. Heh. Mahalo.

punkirony · 10-12-2004, 11:39 PM

I could be wrong, but the translation is beautiful. It's prettier than my hawaiian name (Lei'olapa= graceful lei).Olapa is a freaking leaf! Ah. And to that mahalo that you gave me, a'ole kuleana (no problem). Ah Hawai'i. I live in a place where I barely know the native language. Oh, that's not too bad. You people on the mainland don't speak America's native languages- all of the Native American dialects. Heh.

But living on Moloka'i is no paradise. Shit talking is all most people can do here. We are supposed to be "The Friendly Isle", but this is one of the most unfriendly island that you'll ever visit. Now there I go again; complaining about where I live.

Planewalker · 10-13-2004, 06:20 PM

Alabama, ~sigh~ what else can I say?
yeeeFUCKIThaw. It appears that I am the only
person representing Alabama..............lucky me.

Before I got sent over here to Iraq, I was living in
San Diego. I loved it there. If fate allows it,
I will move back there as soon as I get back to the states.

Disfunction · 10-13-2004, 06:38 PM

Kingston, Ontario... Woo.. shitty town.

Voodoo_Queen · 10-15-2004, 03:40 PM

I grew up and lived most of my life in the Bronx NY.
Now I live in Baltimore City.

OmmadDawn · 10-17-2004, 09:42 AM

I never said it in all this time. Fort Collins, CO, home of drunken student riots.

It's great for murder buffs here. Our murder rate is very low, but when it happens, it tends to be spectacular. Three of our murders ended up as subjects of police shows. We were in great spectator positions for the Columbine massacre and the Mathew Shepard case. Our local college has a world-famous forensic anthropologist.

Spent half my life in Texas. Have relatives in Jasper, and spent many a great summer as a kid visiting them and running around in the piney woods. Some of my cousins sentenced some of my other cousins to death for that famous dragging death. Check out the movie,

I went to college at Auburn, Ala. for a few months. Couldn't stand anyone there. Girls always started the conversation out with, "So what does YOUR daddy own?" The school of pharmacy featured a mural on the progression of man, starting out with cavemen with crew cuts.

Sorry, don't mean to slam Alabam. I just spent a little time in a tiny, overbred corner of it.

As the only Iraq-serving soldier on the board, you're liable to have people demanding you "tell us the truth" about what the hell's going on over there.

Good thing you're not into politics, in this case.

You probably already heard this one:
__________________________________________
The Captain called the Sergeant in. "Sarge, I just got a telegram that Private Jones' mother died yesterday. Better go tell him and send him in to see me."

So the Sergeant calls for his morning formation and lines up all the troops. "Listen up men," says the Sergeant. "Johnson, report to the mess hall for KP. Smith, report to personnel to sign some papers. The rest of you report to the Motor Pool for maintenance. Oh by the way, Jones, your mother died, report to the commander."

Later that day, the Captain called the Sergeant into his office. "Hey, Sarge, that was a pretty cold way to inform Jones his mother died. Couldn't you be more tactful, next time?"

"Yes, sir," answered the Sarge.

A few months later, the Captain called the Sergeant in again with, "Sarge, I just got a telegram that Private McGrath's mother died. You'd better go tell him and send him in to see me. This time be more tactful."

So the Sergeant calls for this morning's formation. "Okay men, fall in and listen up. Everybody with a mother, take two steps forward. NOT SO FAST, McGRATH!"
