[In a restaurant, infact, the restaurant at the end of the universe]
"A large dairy animal approached Zaphod Beeblebrox's table, a large fat meaty quadruped of the bovine type with large watery eyes, small horns and what might almost have been an ingratiating smile on its lips.
'Good evening,' it lowed and sat back heavily on its haunches, 'I am the main Dish of the Day.  May I interest you in parts of my body?'  It harrumphed and gurgled a bit, wriggled its hind quarters into a more comfortable position and gazed peacefully at them.
Its gaze was met by looks of startled bewilderment from Arthur and Trillian, a resigned shrug from Ford Prefect and naked hunger from Zaphod Beeblebrox.
...
'Well,' said the animal, ... 'it was eventually decided to cut through the whole tangled problem [of animals not wanting to be eaten] and breed an animal that actually wanted to be eaten and was capable of saying so clearly and distinctly.  And here I am.'
...[Zaphod places order]...
'A very wise choice, sir, if I may say so.  Very good,' it [the cow] said.  'I'll just nip off and shoot myself.'
He turned and gave a friendly wink to Arthur.
'Dont worry, sir,' he said.  'I'll be very humane.'"

yeah..  I'm now re-reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy book sierries..  and I've come across this part..  and was wondering what yall would do..  hehe..  if you havnt read the books, they are quite good..  this is from book 2, The Restaurant at the end of the Universe starting at page 102..  
the section above should be enough to fill you in on this part if you havnt..

 tis possible that I mistyped my email, not probable, but possible, and I have yet to get my validation code..  it's been about, hrm, 18 hours or so, so unless AOL is being evil..
*shrugs*
I'm Latias (#17) in turbo..

 *yawns*
as I sit here, prodding my english project, I wonder how many others of my class are doing the exact same..  I'm fairly sure over half..

the lastest I've ever stayed up working on somthin school-related was 5:30 am, by that time I didnt even get to sleep, just gave my bed a longing glance, packed up my stuff and took a long shower..

so how 'bout the rest of yall?  or are you all perfect students who always pace themselves and never ever let anything get over their heads..   ;)  

 'k, first off, Nero was supposed to be dead about an hour ago from my typing this, but he refuses to die...  I got bord of him is the reason..  sitting up top doing nothing but sending the occasional aid parcel and propoganding then looting/feasting...
not much fun..  too repetitive..

so, about 26.5 k acers is currently up for grabs, less for me to delete if I need to knock myself down to one acer so someone can have a kill..  please take the land..  

this only lasts until somone kills me or one of the admins get around to knocking Nero over the head so he passes on..

Lastly, if somone does end up killing me, realize that I premit it and that they are not to be retaled on.

Thankee.

 Nero loves me so much it doesnt want to go away..  
I entered the name that I know I entered upon activating Nero and it says that I'm a liar and that that is not the name I entered.  I've been arguing pointlessly for about 10 min and tried about everything, but nero refuses to be deleted..

if one of the admins would please delete nero (13) I'd really appriciate it, if not I'll wait for enough turns to demolish all but 1 acer of my land then have somone kill me, whichever comes first..

Thanks.

  :lol:   yeah, I've noticed that most dont make much of a fuss now when they stay up top for over 7 consecutive days, but, meh..  Nero made it!  Blue Tang failed only by a few days..  when the server reset I think it had been first for like 3 days or so..  

random Nero facts:

my last attack was Sun, 30 Nov 2003
my last defence was Sat, 27 Dec 2003
current food:  7.6 bil
aid given out:  *doesnt want to think about it*   :P

wheee!

 meh..  I'm in Spanish III this year and we are currently on page 77 out of 459 in our text book, which we are following..  plodding along slowly but surely..  halfway through the year and not even 1/4 of the way through with what we need to cover..

Yet, in Caculous we're moving faster than my brain can keep up..  and he still thinks he's beind in teaching us..  

so how's yall's school year thus far? for thoes in school, which is most methinks..  

 we may, for the first time this year, get an actual accumulation of snow here in north carolina..  the extremly odd thing is that it was 72 degrees farinheit less than a week back..  

sooo..  'let it snow..  let it snow..  let it snow!!'

 turbo is what, 6 or so days old, and already some have 480 attacks...  and peace died with 587 defences..  that's just..  incredible..  I check top ten and I have the lowest offences and defences there..  yet I have the highest offecive and defencive %..

turbo is quite brutal..  wheeee..

 

 just curious, is my avitar and the two pics in my sig showing up?  I got on a school comp. today and they werent coming up..  graffiti dislikes me..  

 hrm..  I just thought, this could be made out to be advertising, but..  *shrugs*  if it is, delete it, I'm just curious, it wont hurt my feelings if it dissapears..

anyways, I just created an account, and neopets are..  scary..  the site setup is great though, really well done for the most part..  

 I'm kinda curious, 'cause I find it rather annoying when a store/resturant only carries one brand..  yet, I like Orange Soda, and I think both Coke and Pepsi make a decent verson..  Sunkist..  yum..  Coke is better than Pepsi though..  

*ponders*
Austrelia and European places probubly have their own brands, donno about the rest of the US, I assume that Coke and Pepsi are nationwide distributors..  not entirely sure on this..

 windy and family are going to go to an aqarium today..  it has a 310 foot tunnel that goes through a shark tank, so you look up and see fishies swimming above you..  much neatness..  thats what inspired this poll, and I'll probubly post pictures later..

so yeah, windy is a vegitarian, so Swim Free Fishies!!

 yeah...  most of the time these would be concidered 'christmas songs' but, gotta include the others, so 'winter songs' pretty much covers it..  basically, what is your fav. song that only appears around this time of year?  
..yet, a local radio station started playing christmas music 24-7 three months ago..   :blink:  so..  yeah..  

a song I rather like is 'Christmas Shoes' by Newsong:

It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes

His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say

Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, "Son, there's not enough here"
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir, what am I going to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes

So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his face when he said
Mama's gonna look so great

Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

Bridge:
I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent that little boy
To remind me just what Christmas is all about

Repeat Chorus

all this was done by Wolf Bite (#17)

now, usually I wont complain, atleast, not in open forum, but wolf's reasoning was what got me..  I posted his message below, and my reply..

((Edited out Nero's stats, I find it humorous when people give you your own stats back))

so you are the protectorte of Ereptor, thus have been feeding him all this time.

'Wolf Bite is an ally of ours, so do not attack him.'
that is on our MOTD
wolf, I have lost all respect for you, really, I mean, if I were a protectorate I could not have more than 100k of each troop, look at the game guide
I have been helping Ereptor, yes, I think he's a nice enough guy, I have been sending out cash to his enemies and truely everyone who asked. I help no one more than any one else, I sent Ashrya, John, Deathclaw, Holby, um.. I'm forgetting somone, oh, and some random people who have seen the message I left on the Clan Crier, almost all have gotten 1 bil or more cash and 50 mil food or more, usually 100 mil food,
I am a supplier to the game, helping out all who ask,
if you wish me to horde all my stuff and keep everything to myself, well, No.
I wish to help thoes who cannot help themselves.

windy = sad

~windhound

also, me and wolf had a disagreement in Turbo about online attacking and dropping land, for which he called me a jerk, which I dont really appriciate, but ah well..  Turbo is indeed where I lost a tad of faith in wolf, but I've lost what was left for his actions in reg..  
so once again wolf has jumped to conclusions and acted as he saw fit without knowing the whole picture, and trying to put in pieces of his own creation..

and Nero is indeed an HPR, so any accusations of him being one would not be wrong..  geuss this is what I get for going peaceful..  tehe..

anyways, just a bit of game-related stuff, post what you think if you wish, dont if you dont..  

 Edit:
*glares at ikkle brother*
he used my account to post this..  he needs to be more careful..  and he will post what he was going to post momentarily..

 yeah..  
I've got a car, but I wish I had a charizard..  great transporation, esp. for rush hour traffic..  just fly over everyone..  
but, my caddie has a V8, so I can just zoom by everyone instead..  unless, of course, it would happen to be a police officer I zoom by, then I couldnt go zoom anymore..

 meh..  a non-Rome topic for once..  
I need support on this subject for a school report that is due, err, tomarrow, so if you can reply asap..  

Are the hallways at your school crouded?  
if so, occasional groups of people will more than likly cluster together, forming blocks in the hallways, impeeding the progress of the masses for the 3-6 people who stop to chat...  
This happens reguarly at my school, and I would like to know if it happens elsewhere (I assume it does)  and what you feel about them..  or if you are one of the ones who stop to chat, explain your side..  

hope most of that made sense, I'm trying to rush..  oh, and leave your state and school name if you dont mind...  thankee..
