It could still work twisted a bit to avoid legal issues.

I'm torn between Shoa LaBuff and Shoa LaBeef.

Either way I'm forcing the Italian into pantyhose.

Wouldn't go with Shoa. Sounds too much like SOA which is Dutch for STD.

Or at least one movie about it.


I would recommend Swaglord's Bizarre Adventure. Watch only Seaasons 9 & 10, though. Seasons 6-8 were slightly cringe-inducing, and Seasons 1-5 weren't very good.

Not a TV guy, but hey maybe I might watch it at some point.

Hell, I'm not obsessed over movies either, to be fair, though I am over the places I watch it (Mostly that I prefer theatres and that it mostly matters that the sound is good, which living in a city is not hard)

That's good. Is there any particular reason why you're feeling okay, or is it just a pleasant mood?

Or,

Are you using the term "OK" to mask insecurities and unhappiness, as many people often do?

Well that's... erm... is "swell" still popular slang? I know that "swole" is in use, but I don't know what it means...

Anyway, are you familiar with the Tale of Swaglord the Fool? It's not a tale that the mods would tell you. The Swaglord was a prominent poster on a little-known internet forum. He acted as a champion of morals and ethics to the other posters. It's even said that he was so lawful, that he would obey every rule, even the stupid and nonsensical ones. One day, he made a post that made him seem sadistic and vile according to a specific reading of it, and while he tried to apologize and clarify what he actually meant by the statement, he was struck down by the moderators for one day. Ironic. He could keep others from breaking the rules, but not himself.

Did you have a warning recrod before your ban?

I had a few warnings for self-reported offenses. I had a warning level of [1]. Is that bad?

I have completely forgotten how old my oldest nation is, but my current one's about three years later, so yay. :P

Alas, the memory of the stupid naming persists (Something opolis and then imagining these nation statistics from a tiny room in my grandma's house because I didn't like no talking to people, so whenever I was there, I would always just plug the thumbdrive into the then working desktop and imaging statistic stuff and also listen to bad libertarian-based rap... or at least it might be bad to my ears now, who knows?)

And also, Sungai Pusat.

That means that you did a few bad things; we shouldn't simply judge our lives by our mistakes or from the lack of mistakes we make.

I think my warnING level is 1 now.

Bad is a very relatI've term. I don't really see how a warning level on a Web site could be bad. Just an indication to pay more attention to th ruoes.
