Conversation Thread 3: Convo Warriors

[BlakeTyner]

...in which our heroes converse about the mundane, the insane, and the hindbrain.

Once again, this is the thread to just flat out chat. Everyone is welcome, so just join right in. As a reminder, posts here (and in the lists and games section at large) do not count toward post count, but there are generally some pretty interesting goings on going on.

~Blake

[Kat]

I like this, kind of like a flooded random thoughts :p

[The Dream Master]

And the funny thing is, we actually have a chat room, but it's always dead. :lol:

[D-Lo]

One month in and already up to pt.3. There'll at least be a part 36 by this time next year.

[BlakeTyner]

Yeah, I've been letting them go to about 20 pages, when really we could just let them keep going. I just know that on other boards, if there's a thread with like 53 pages I skip over it, because I figure "I'm not going to read every post to get caught up, so the hell with it."

This way it's not quite so intimidating for new recruits to come in. I don't know if I'll stick to 20 pages (so far it's just been blind luck that I've come in at page 20) but it's' kinda neat to have sequels. ;)

~Blake

[girlychaos]

Well....I'm gonna go try and get some sleep now. It's 3am here now.

Goodnight everyone....Blakey, one day you're gonna stop running away from me.................soon. ;)

(INF btw)

~Blake

What is more appropriate than a friday the 13th board if you are gonna have a shitload of sequels?:D
ADDED:
G'night girly. I'm outtie as well, laterz everyone

[Kat]

There sure are alot of ants in my house. Fuck, do I hate ants....well at least when they are inside and annoying the fuck out of me. I think my dad, mom or aunt spilled something sugary under my desk or something without telling me, because there sure seems to be a lot of them heading for this one spot.

[aerokissfloyd]

Hmmmm... I swear Pork Rinds are good.

[girlychaos]

I'm starting to get a little hungry...I actually forgot to have lunch today. :thinking:

[aerokissfloyd]

Ha ha. Really? Well, the lunch I had today wasn't as bad as it usually is. It was pretty good for school food.

I'm probably gonna get jumped. Some people are after me for some stupid shit and they're more than likely going to ask people to jump me so... ha ha. I'm gonna have to learn to fight. :p

[girlychaos]

That doesn't sound good... :(

[aerokissfloyd]

Meh. I'm ready to take on them anyway. I'm not going down without a fight.

[girlychaos]

But....what happened?

[aerokissfloyd]

They think I did something I didn't do, and now they're trying to get people to stop liking me and stuff... so, I wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of people tried to start something with me.

[girlychaos]

And you didn't even do what they think you did....that's just unfair.

[aerokissfloyd]

Yep. Ha ha. Oh well. Anybody here have any tips for defeating multiple opponents in a fight?

[BlakeTyner]

Yep. Ha ha. Oh well. Anybody here have any tips for defeating multiple opponents in a fight?

Yup.

Don't fight.

(That's not me being snarky, that's just the way it is. If they jump you, and you can't retreat, do your best: go for testicles, eyes, and throats. Carry a ball-point pen at all times. If it's legal where you are, carry a folding knife or pepper spray. But unless you've been trained and drilled in hand to hand combat against multiple adversaries, you're probably going to get your ass whipped.)

~Blake

[aerokissfloyd]

Yep. That's what I thought. Ha ha.

Good idea. If I can't run however... then I'm screwed.

[BlakeTyner]

I'm a small-framed guy, and I've been in my share of fights (and taken my fair share of ass-whippings, too.)

One thing my father taught me that is true is this: do your best to pop him in the nose. Most people lose their inclination to fight when they're bleeding like a stuck pig. And, in the case of bullies, the next time they'll think: Yeah, I can whip his ass, but I'll probably get a bloody nose for my troubles. Most times, they'll find someone they can dominate without the risk of getting hurt.

I hope everything turns out okay, though.

~Blake

[aerokissfloyd]

Yeah. Me too. Funny thing is, these people used to be my friends, and now they hate me.

Thanks Blake.

[girlychaos]

akf: I hope it doesn't come to that at all!

Blakey: OMG! :shock:
j/k :p (well, sort of)

[BlakeTyner]

I'm assuming you're still relatively young, right? High school aged?

In one way, that's the most awesome time to be alive - you're young, don't have (many) real-world troubles, etc. But at the same time, it's the most ridiculous time, because everyone around you is still caught up in that clique mentality. I think you'll be okay, though. Out of all the times in my youth that people made threats like that, they usually didn't follow through on them.

Not much else I can tell you, except to not let them make you afraid to leave the house. The mentality you've got to have is "fuck 'em." In a few years they'll be managing the local Wal-Mart or McDonald's, anyway. ;)

~Blake

[girlychaos]

The worst thing about being that young is not having the "let's talk this through" possibility, akf.

But I truly hope they will realize you haven't done what they think you have and things will go back to normal.

[aerokissfloyd]

Yeah. Ha ha. I hope so. Cause here they're rough on fighting. Not only the kids, but the adults as well. You go to jail if you fight. I'm sure it's the same way everywhere else.

[girlychaos]

Well, in theory it is.... ;)

[The Dream Master]

The only reason I'd go back to high school is that the work was a lot easier than it is in college.

[girlychaos]

No kidding!

How are you doing tonight, DM?

[The Dream Master]

I'm alright, a bit tired considering I was up until 4 am and had to get up at 8. :eek:

And yourself?

[girlychaos]

Tired...yeah, I'm getting used to having around 3 hours sleep and that isn't doing me any good, you know?

I'm also bored, and there's a lot going on in my mind lately....other than that, everything is just peachy!! :)

Thanks for asking...hey, when are you graduating?

[The Dream Master]

I should be done with all my Master's work in December, and then I'm going to get certified to teach next semester. So I guess I'll be graduating in May, but all the hard stuff will be done by December if all goes well.

[girlychaos]

Good luck with that! I'm sure everything will be okay! :)

I'm starting my Master Program in 10 days or so...I'm looking forward to it but I'm also a bit scared, you know?

[Mr. Undertaker]

Good luck with that.... college is draining me ......

[The Dream Master]

Girly, I was absolutely terrified when I started Grad school. I seriously didn't think I'd make it. I'm over halfway done now, but the hardest part is yet to come. You'll be fine though as long as you take everything one day at a time and don't let work pile up on you.

Mr. Undertaker, college has pretty much drained me, too. I'm running on fumes at this point.

[girlychaos]

Hi Drop....long time no see! I'm done with college...I'm so glad!

How have you been?


DM: Yes, I think I'm gonna love it, but I know it's gonna be pretty hectic. Halfway done? Wow....that's really good!

[CanadianFonzie]

my brother is lucky he can speak German:mad:

[Shoesalesman]

Really. That would be cool to learn. I just speak English and French.

[CanadianFonzie]

I can't speak Frenc, and I nevevr want to, lol

shoey, please tell me you're going to see Van Halen in December

[Mr. Undertaker]

I cant speak german....
Drip: doing fine.... what about you? and congrats!

[CanadianFonzie]

I can't speak German either, that's why it's a bitch trying to talk to my uncle who is visiting, he understands english but you gotta repeat yourself 4 times to get him to understand you...and vise versa

[girlychaos]

Hi Shoey and PB....I can speak English and Portuguese. I actually knew a few words in German. Oh...I do know sign language too. :)

Drop: Well, you know....things are okay. Thanks btw.

[CanadianFonzie]

why am I the only one here who can only speak one language!!!!!!!!!:mad:

where's my cheese!

[The Dream Master]

Je parle Francais.

[CanadianFonzie]

but je don't!

[girlychaos]

PB: :lmao: that was funny....thanks for the laugh!

DM: I don't speak French. :(

[Mr. Undertaker]

je don't either!

[girlychaos]

Drop: Mas você fala Português! :)

[Mr. Undertaker]

Isso lá é verdade! :D

Well.... gotta go! see you all!

[CanadianFonzie]

Drop: Mas você fala Português! :)

Mas did what?:eek:

[girlychaos]

PB: I told Drop that he does speak Portuguese though. :)

[CanadianFonzie]

oh, I thought you said that Mas beat up someone for speaking Portugese, man was I ever wrong

[girlychaos]

:lol:

mas= but. :)

[CanadianFonzie]

lol so masS(2 s's) would mean butt:lmao:

[girlychaos]

I knew you'd say that....but no....not at all. :lol:

[CanadianFonzie]

lol it's funny cause I didn't even know I was gonna say that

[girlychaos]

I was 100% you'd say something like that... I truly was. :)

[The Dream Master]

Girly's a mind reader. :eek:

[CanadianFonzie]

okay you're starting to scare me with your female voodoo

you're scaring me so much that I must go hide in my bed until tomorrow morning, so I shall talk to you tomorrow

I don't normally see The Dream Master here, I usually see him in the NOES threads...it's awsome he's particapating here:)

[girlychaos]

:lmao: No, DM...I just know him too well I guess! :D

Goodnight, PB....and thanks! :)

ps. Yeah...I really like having DM around too... :)

[The Dream Master]

This is a pretty cool thread. It's like chat, but not.

[girlychaos]

DM....I like it a lot too!

I gotta go soon, but thank you for keeping me company, I really appreciate it. :)

And come here more often....deal?

[The Dream Master]

No problem, you've got yourself a deal.

[girlychaos]

That's really great!

Goodnight, DM...I'll see you. :)

[The Dream Master]

Goodnite GC.

[Ron]

I think it's great how everyone gets along here. It's so peaceful..

[Deathscythe]

For some reason, I really feel like making a Freddy Krueger music video. Even through I've never done a music video before. Maybe I should make one.

[Kat]

My head still feels bad....

A co-worker told me that the day after I hit my head, I went and attempted to eat flour out of the school kitchen.

[CanadianFonzie]

it's amazing what happens when you hit your head...I was told I tried to make out with a dog the day after I was hit in the head with a guitar...awsome experience that was, still feel a bump on my head from that

[Ron]

I hope I never have a concussion, I hate being dizzy, light-headed, and nauseous..but I don't think anyone does.

[Shoesalesman]

Head injuries can last for years. Lots of sensitive bits and peices up in there. :duh:

[The Dark Vampire]

True story When a split my head open about 13-14 (ish) years ago I was the very first person in that hospital to have surgical glue used to close the wound the day before I would of needed stitches.

[Shoesalesman]

True story When a split my head open about 13-14 (ish) years ago I was the very first person in that hospital to have surgical glue used to close the wound the day before I would of needed stitches.

You were the first one? Damn!!! Wasn't Elmer's glue was it? :p

[CanadianFonzie]

that's quite amazing, I myself have been fortunate to never need stitches anywhere but my wisdom teeth

[Shoesalesman]

I almost lost my left ear in grade three when some punk swung a die-cast miniature plane at my face and I turned my head to avoid a facial shot. The doctor sewed up the back of my ear, but he refused to give me a bionic sensor like The Six Million Dollar Man had (which was my fave show at the time).

Medicine man, my ass. :mad:

Funny thing, in high school I partied with the guy who sliced me with that plane and we sure laughed about it. Until I kicked him over into a hedge when he was stumbling drunk and I ran laughing like a giddy schoolgirl. Hee hee!

[D-Lo]

I've been hit in the head a lot. Combination of kick boxing + skimboarding.

I have what I call my 'horn' in the top of my forehead from a head injury sustained as a child. People ask me, did your mother drop you as a baby and I'm like 'yeah'. 'Twice'.

[Kat]

Odd thing, since I have been smacked on the melon, I feel more uppy and easier to anger....

[CanadianFonzie]

that's not good...I'm like that naturally...I'm known for it, lol

[girlychaos]

I miss you guys.... :)

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Hey everyone. How have you been?

I haven't been on in the past few days really because i've been spending time with my brother in LA. I've hardly been in his apartment.

On Thursday, we went to this club called Social. He actually helped organize this fashion show they had there. They had a runway and different models.....gorgeous models.

How have you guys been?

[Shoesalesman]

Good to hear from you, MMM. :D

[girlychaos]

I've had a loooong weekend!

[MaDMaNMaRz]

SHOEY!!!! How have you been?

Hey girly, how are you?

[girlychaos]

Hi Mikey...I'm doing good....what about you? :)

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I'm doing good. I probably won't be on too much longer. I'm actually still out, but i'm actually posting using my brother's iPhone. :)

[girlychaos]

Sounds nice! :)

[The Dream Master]

I've had a loooong weekend!

Me too. Well, actually it really doesn't end until after tomorrow, so it'll be a 4-day weekend. It's my last one like that though, since school is starting back soon. Then it'll be back to "only" having 3-day weekends. :shy:

[The New Blood]

This weekend has been insane for me. I was bugging the fuck out last night.

[Kat]

I am tired and don't want to go to work tomorrow. 57 kids in a room is driving me crazy.....

[girlychaos]

Me too. Well, actually it really doesn't end until after tomorrow, so it'll be a 4-day weekend. It's my last one like that though, since school is starting back soon. Then it'll be back to "only" having 3-day weekends. :shy:

Hi there! How are you doing?
Yeah....I know how that goes....I'm kinda getting used to that and I don't know how it's gonna be when I start my Master Program... :confused:

[The Dream Master]

I'm doing pretty good, I guess. How about you?

[girlychaos]

I'm okay too...thanks for asking.

I've been kind of feeling lost and "questioning" things more than I used to....but I guess that's gonna pass....what do you think?

[The Dream Master]

The feeling lost thing will probably pass, but it's alright to be questioning things. If you don't question, how do you really know what you accept and what you don't?

[girlychaos]

Yeah....I know what you mean.
Hey...I just read what you said about the pain....you really should check it, you know?

[The Dream Master]

Yeah, I know. It's just a weird feeling. I'm usually pretty healthy, but for some reason this has been going on for the past few days. I really have been feeling better for the past few hours, though.

[girlychaos]

Did you take painkillers and stuff like that or is it just going away? The pain, I mean.

[The Dream Master]

It's gone away on its own, which I guess is a good thing.

I think it's seriously a case of indigestion. I've been reading up on it, and the symptoms match up. Too much spicy food I guess.

[girlychaos]

Yeah....it could be it, but maybe you should check it anyway....don't you think?

[The Dream Master]

Yeah, I probably will tomorrow just in case.

[girlychaos]

I think you should do that....let us know how it goes, okay?

[The Dream Master]

Sure thing.

[girlychaos]

I'm leaving in a while. Good luck with that, I'm sure everything's okay though. :)

I'll see you, DM...nighty!

[The Dream Master]

Thanks...goodnight GC.

[girlychaos]

Oh...thanks for keeping me company... (INF btw) :)

Bye now...

[Shoesalesman]

The Dream Master, hope you feel better soon.

[The Dream Master]

It's all good, now. It was just a bad case of indigestion. It was weird, really.

[CanadianFonzie]

I miss the hot women of Ottawa, lol

[girlychaos]

Got Blood? is here! Yay! :D

[CanadianFonzie]

is not! prove it!

[MaDMaNMaRz]

It took GB awhile to finally get here. It's good to have him here.

[girlychaos]

Yeah....it is.

How are you tonight, Mikey?

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I'm alright. I had sushi for lunch today. :) My brother was trying to force me to go out tonight, but I didn't want to. So i'm going to watch some movies/play some Guitar Hero in a little bit.

How are you? Been busy lately?

[girlychaos]

Yeah...I have. :)

I played GH yesterday...it was nice.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I wanted to play with my brother, because he hasn't played the 80's GH yet. :( But he basically goes out ALMOST every night :eek:

I am going to a birthday party on Wednesday. And Thursday is my brother's birthday. His manager is throwing him a party at this club in North Hollywood. :)

[girlychaos]

Sounds nice!!! :D

I hope you have a great time there! :)

[MaDMaNMaRz]

The thing is I don't like going out to clubs/bars. I'm only doing it because I haven't seen my brother in awhile......but he likes doing it.

I still don't see people's thing with going out to clubs. If other people like doing it, that's fine. I just don't see what's so great about it.

I'm actually going to be leaving soon to go to the Farmers Market. There's a Starbucks there. Me and my mom are going to meet a friend there. :)

[girlychaos]

Yeah...going out to clubs isn't my thing either. But it's cool that you're spending time with your brother. :)

I'll see you then....have fun tonight, okay?

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Thanks. :)

I've NEVER been into going to clubs. I'm more the type to stay in and watch some movies.

[girlychaos]

Yeah....I know. ;)

So am I. But it's nice that you're hanging out with your brother....he must be really happy about it. :)

[Shoesalesman]

I usually go to nice, quiet pubs and enjoy the old British-type atmosphere. A guy could get stabbed going to the bars here in Edmonton. :dead:

Not all of them, mind you.

[CanadianFonzie]

I like going to pubs too, great atmosphere and awsome burgers (and the right pubs have awsome waitresses;))

[The Dark Vampire]

I really dislike pubs and clubs I only go in if I have to (in the local theater you have to walk through the pub section to get to the disabled entrance)

Where I watch wrestling there is alcohol sold but it's more of a show place where drinks just happen to be available.

[CanadianFonzie]

I'd go anywhere as long as it had Pizza or Wings

[girlychaos]

I really dislike pubs and clubs I only go in if I have to (in the local theater you have to walk through the pub section to get to the disabled entrance).


Pubs and clubs are not my scene either. I prefer going to quiet, less crowded places.

[CanadianFonzie]

I like loud places when it involves a stage and a live band

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I like loud places when it involves a stage and a live band

Agreed

Shoey - Yeah, I do like going to the English and Irish Pubs. They usually have good food. :)

[CanadianFonzie]

I never get why people quote others when it was said right above them

[The Dark Vampire]

I never get why people quote others when it was said right above them

Just in case someone else posts before they do

[CanadianFonzie]

yah but what are the chances, lol

[girlychaos]

Hi PB....how's it going? :)

Hi there Vamp... :D

[The Dark Vampire]

yah but what are the chances, lol

It happens to me often usually when I don't bother to quote then I have to go back and edit a quote in

[girlychaos]

Yeah...it just happened. :)

[The Dark Vampire]

Yeah...it just happened. :)

Yeah I know and Hi yourself

[girlychaos]

Hi....how are you doing? I don't even remember the last time we talked. :)

[The Dark Vampire]

Doing great how about you?

I can't remember myself

[girlychaos]

I'm fine, thanks....how's your cute brother doing? :)

[The Dark Vampire]

Doing great thanks

He has got a brain scan coming up next week but it's nothing to worry about it's just been about a year since his last one and they have to check it at least once a year to make sure the tumor hasn't grown.

I'm unsure if I can go in with him this time as you can't have any metal on or in you and since then I've had an operation myself and there is a chance they used metal to hold things together

[girlychaos]

Good to know he's doing great! Yeah....check ups are regular procedure.

I hope you can go in with him though...I'm sure it's much easier when you do. Can you find out for sure whether or not they used metal on your operation?

[The Dark Vampire]

I'm going to try and find out this week

[girlychaos]

That's a really good idea....will you let me know when you do though? I'd appreciate that.

Well, I gotta go....hopefully we can talk again soon...goodnight, Vamp (I hope it's okay to call you that). :)

[Titan]

hello everyone

[The Dark Vampire]

That's a realy good idea....will you let me know when you do though? I'd appreciate that.

Well, I gotta go....hopefully we can talk again soon...goodnight, Vamp (I hope it's okay to call you that). :)

I will and yeah you can call me that in fact in college more people students and teachers used that than my real name in fact someone I'd known for a year or so actually had to ask me my real name as he had never heard anybody call me it (even on the register/roll call they called me Vamp)

anyway bye/night for now talk soon

[girlychaos]

Hi Titan! Long time no see!! I'm leaving now, but I should be back later on....see ya! :)

Vamp: Really?? I didn't know that (duh...how could I know it??) but it's nice to know you have it as a nick! Yeah....I'll talk to you soon! Nighty! :)

[CanadianFonzie]

figures, I miss all the fun

[girlychaos]

Hi there, PB....don't worry....I'll be back later. ;)

[Titan]

So how is everyone doing?

[CanadianFonzie]

I'm doing just fine, you however don't seem to be on anymore, lol

[girlychaos]

Hi...I'm back for a little while. :)

[CanadianFonzie]

you came on too late!

[girlychaos]

I know...I didn't stay that much online anyway...

[CanadianFonzie]

I'm sorry

but I'll be back in a couple of minutes, I just gotta run and check something in my basement

[Shoesalesman]

Greetings from my little world

[girlychaos]

Hi Shoey....how are you?

[CanadianFonzie]

well look who's finally on at the right time

[girlychaos]

Hi PB... :)

I'm glad to see Shoey here too.

[BlakeTyner]

What are y'all up to this evening?

[Shoesalesman]

I'm doing fine (pinches Fonz on the buttocks - hey bro!) :D

[CanadianFonzie]

me and my brother are doing everything we can to get our hands on a couple of Van Halen tickets for either October 7th or 12th...we won't rest until we get 'em

[The Dream Master]

I'm enjoying my last night off before I have to teach those damn Freshmen tomorrow morning.

[girlychaos]

I thought you already had tickets, PB.

Hi Blakey...I was trying to fix what I wrote just before you closed the "person above you" thread....I saw I wrote "neighboor" and I tried to modify it....a little too late I guess. How have you been?

Hi DM...are you feeling alright?

[BlakeTyner]

I'm good. For some reason I've been sleepy all day, but if I take a nap I don't sleep at night, so I've been fighting it.

At like midnight I'll probably be wide awake.

~Blake

[WestinHillsDays]

anxious. very important test on saturday.

[CanadianFonzie]

no I didn't already have tickets, they went on sale on Saturday, waited in line for an hour and 20 minutes (got there an hour before they went on sale, so they sold out in 20 minutes!) the bitch of it was I should have gotten tickets but they did this stupid thing which involved the people in front moving to the back, I moved back about 10 spots, and I was the next in line when they announced the show was sold out, so I should have got seats...and little did I know that not too long after a second show was added and I didn't find out until Monday, which was long after that show was sold out too!

[The Dream Master]

Hi DM...are you feeling alright?

Asides from being tired, I'm good. I woke up at 7 am this morning. :eek:

[CanadianFonzie]

hey so did I:o

[girlychaos]

Blakey: I know what you mean, "son". :p

Andy: Good to see you here!!!! Don't worry....it's gonna be just fine (you know that, right??) :)

PB: That was bad...but I'm sure you'll get the tickets somehow.

DM: Why did you wake up so early? I woke up around 8am...

[CanadianFonzie]

wow you have alot of people to talk to girly

and yes, me and my brother are determined, even if it means going to such desperate measures as...eating brocoli:X

[girlychaos]

PB: :lol: I'm sure you guys are gonna get it! Don't worry! :)

[The Dream Master]

I woke up early because classes started today. It was the first time I've been up that early since April, I think. It's a downer.

[Shoesalesman]

me and my brother are doing everything we can to get our hands on a couple of Van Halen tickets for either October 7th or 12th...we won't rest until we get 'em

I like Van Halen, but I don't like the fact that Wolfgang is the bassist now. What about the old one? Not too fond of the Halen brothers. :(

[girlychaos]

I woke up early because classes started today. It was the first time I've been up that early since April, I think. It's a downer.

Oh, I thought the classes didn't start till tomorrow....you must be really tired!

[The Dream Master]

Yeah, well, my classes started today. I have to teach a couple tomorrow before going to two of my own classes. Tuesdays and Thursdays = the suck. :p

[BlakeTyner]

Damn, it's back to school time again, huh? Our school district doesn't start back until Monday, because there's a state law that says they can't start earlier, lol. When I was going, it seemed like they started earlier and ended later every year.

~Blake

[The Dream Master]

Yeah, the local public schools went back this past Monday, which is how it used to be way back when. For the past 10 years, they'd been going back around the second week of August, which is insane. College has spoiled the fuck out of me, seeing as how it goes back semi-late and gets done so early. When I end up teaching high school, it's going to be strange to go back.

Oh, and fuck school. I miss summer already.

[girlychaos]

DM: Good luck with that! It sounds like you're gonna need it. :p

Blakey: How's work?

[BlakeTyner]

Work's good, just hot as all hell. We'll be preparing for our annual Halloween festival all through September. We have tons of shit to do for our Runaway Fright Train and haunted cornfield maze. Luckily I'm on the management side so I mostly get to supervise, lol.



Fuck school...



+1

~Blake

[Shoesalesman]

Haunted cornfield maze? I wish I could experience that. Sounds promising. Good luck with that, BlakeTyner.

[girlychaos]

Runaway Fright Train?? Gosh....why don't we have those here?? It must be really great.
Only supervising it is even greater, huh? :lol:

Lazy Blakey! lol
Nah....j/k....working that much on such hot weather s**** big time!

[Shoesalesman]

I'll be out of town for Halloween. First year not taking the little ones door to door. :cry:

[girlychaos]

Shoey....that's so sad! :(
But the kids will be so busy and happy they won't even miss you...!!! :p

Haunted cornfield maze? I wish I could experience that. Sounds promising. Good luck with that, BlakeTyner.

Yeah, it always turns out pretty good. Just watch out for this guy:

Runaway Fright Train?? Gosh....why don't we have those here?? It must be really great. :lol:


This is our 5th year to do all this, so now we've built up enough props, costumes, and animatronics that it ends up being pretty good. There's a chainsaw scare that's to die for. Me driving the Fright Train:

[CanadianFonzie]

I remember my haunted corn field maze adventure, quite scary, lol

[girlychaos]

Blakey: I'm really truly jealous now! We don't even celebrate Halloween here! :(

It seems like it's tons of fun!!! Do you have more pix of it though?? If you do and if it's okay, please let us see them.

[The Dream Master]

There's a haunted corn maze thing literally a mile from my house every Halloween. It's good fun. One year, I snuck in my own mask and put it on right in the middle of it and scared the shit out of the people who were actually in it, not to mention everyone else. It ruled.

[girlychaos]

LOL

That must be really cool!!!!! :lol:

[CanadianFonzie]

when I was in the haunted corn field maze I was chased by a skin head in a hockey mask with a chainsaw, and I fell in the mud and he stood above me and held the chainsaw high and I was sure I wouldn't see the next hour...luckily he let me go ot of pitty

[Shoesalesman]

On a side note... is it normal if I'm eating a salad that's so good my toes are curling and uncurling?

I can't stop it. :(

[CanadianFonzie]

salad? no, chicken wings? yes

I've come to realize that if it wasn't for me, than Shoey would feel like the old man of the thread:p

[girlychaos]

Shoey: What kind of salad is that?? lol

[CanadianFonzie]

bad salad it is

[Shoesalesman]

Spinach with carrots, cucumbers, purple onions, salt/pepper, light French dressing, crushed croutons sprinkled... WHOA! there my tooties go again. :eek: :p

[BlakeTyner]

Unfortunately, I don't have any more photos. I had to get the Jason one from a friend's MySpace page.

Our 2005 commercial is on Google video http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7164772969481795065

But it doesn't really show anything.

We made the Top 10 top Texas Halloween attractions:

A year or two ago, a TV station from Dallas came out and filmed a segment, which is posted on their website. I've been looking for it but haven't found it yet. If I do, I'll link it.

[girlychaos]

Shoey: Mmmm....sounds delicious!!!!!! Now I want some! :( :p

Blakey: I'm gonna go check that now....thanks! :)

[Shoesalesman]

It's heavenly. :angel:

[CanadianFonzie]

ugh, vegetables, get it away!

[The Dream Master]

That's awesome, Blake.

On that note, we live out in the middle of nowhere, and our family (including my grandparents and aunt who live next door) always host the big family functions. A few years ago, my grandpa and uncle cut out an awesome path that goes deep into the woods. We use it every year for a little spook trail at our annual Halloween party. It's wicked fun. I'll try to drag up some pics in a moment. Damn, I'm really wishing it were late September right about now.

[CanadianFonzie]

wow I can say anything and I'll surely be ignored

my head is bigger than your head!

[girlychaos]

Shoey: It sure sounds like it! :)

Blakey: The commercial is great "you can run away if you choose, but remember....you'll only die tired" LOL :lol: I'm gonna check the Top 10 now.

DM: Do post the pix!!! Sounds cool!!! :D

PB: Join us...you should check the video though....it's pretty awesome!!!

[CanadianFonzie]

peanut butter between toes

[The Dream Master]

As requested, here's a picture of my cousin and I from Halloween a couple years ago. I'm on the left.

[girlychaos]

LOL....OMG, DM!!!! You guys really take it seriously, huh??? Way to go...nice costumes!!!
Halloween must be the best time ever!!!! :D

[CanadianFonzie]

I give up.

[BlakeTyner]

For the past two years we've had 3 events: The Runaway Fright Train, The Creepy Screamin' Maze, and The Haunted Forest Walk. Each had its own theme, decorations, and actors.

This year, the area we usually use as the Forest Walk is under water from all the rain we've had this summer, and there are alligators out there, so we decided to scrap the forest walk. Instead, we moved the cornmaze closer to where the forest walk was (because we have a 100 foot long underground tunnel there) and expanded the size of the maze to over 1 acre. It basically combines the two attractions nicely.

The underground tunnel has a couple of cubby holes for pneumatic effects (clowns jumping out at you) as well as one man-sized cubby hole for an actor to hide in. It's pretty neat. Lots of work, but pretty neat.

~Blake

[girlychaos]

I just read it, Blakey....it's a five-mile trek then?

It must be awesome!

I bet a lot of people get truly scared there....especially in the underground tunnel!

[BlakeTyner]

The train ride is 5 miles long...the walks are only a few hundred feet.

I expect that next year we'll bring the forest walk back, and probably add a hayride as well.

~Blake

[girlychaos]

That's gonna sound stupid, but....what is a hayride?

[CanadianFonzie]

hey, girly said stupid...a new milestone in her "swearing"

[girlychaos]

PB: LOL!!! :lol:

[CanadianFonzie]

lol you know I'm right, you sually ask my permission before you insult someone, lol

[girlychaos]

I never ask your permission before I do anything!!! :lol:

And I wasn't insulting anyone but myself..... :)

Do you know what a hayride is???

[CanadianFonzie]

when you ride on a trailer filled with hay stacks

[girlychaos]

Oh.....duh.......a hayride! Yeah......that must be really great as well!!!!
Thanks PB! :)

[CanadianFonzie]

[girlychaos]

I wasn't referring to the naked pix as you already know! You are cute....what can I do?? lol

Well, I just know....you think I know very little about music....but you're wrong! :p

[CanadianFonzie]

[girlychaos]

Maybe he does....we'll ask him next time he's on. :)

[CanadianFonzie]

I have asked him, he said he didn't know

[girlychaos]

Well....he's 6 years younger than me....maybe that's why.

[CanadianFonzie]

[girlychaos]
