Hope you got Wayfarers too.

Neither have I. But my lady swears by them.
I don't know if any of you watches Doctor Who but I always pictured Apple turning everyone into Cybermen when they get connected. I mean so many or out there then all of a sudden you get one and BAM you are assimilated.

Turtle necks, buy lots of turtle necks. And scarfs you'll need a shit load of those.
Now you just need the wonderdome to become a clear case for it.

Literally the tip of the iceberg. I don't really comment much anymore, but I've been laughing hard at half the threads since January.
. Great director that knows his own style well just like Butron and QT

Same deluded nut went HAM on PhoenixDark over in Poli-GAF out of nowhere. Thought I'd drop a link for you guys since it made me laugh out of how fucking random it was.

Novid once told Gaf he was the writer of the new Thundercats show. He really believed it too.

Taking the plunge.
Where you're from- Hawaii
Where you live- Seattle
Your cultural heritage, lineage and genealogy- Half Chinese, 1/4 Scottish, 1/4 Irish
Do you know your roots- Somewhat. I saw a picture of my distant ancestors (1800s time) that came to Hawaii from China (my dad's side) that came to work on the sugar cane plantations. One of the kids in the photo looked exactly like my dad when he was younger. It was a bit creepy. Mom and her family are California through and through.
Your Age- 26 1/2
Favorite musical genre- Currently a battle between hip hop and EDM (trance and house mostly but I'm still exploring it)
Your profession/major/career interest- Jack of all trades for a start-up just outside Seattle, have a BS in Informatics from UW. Mostly work involving the web (analytics, some dev work)
Your religious affiliation- Technically I am Catholic (baptized and everything all the way up to confirmation, but never got there) but I'm pretty much somewhere between atheist and agnostic with atheist leanings
Hobbies- video games of course, outdoorsy stuff like hiking, drinking, music, huge sports fan
Decided I want to start posting here more because I enjoy reading this thread more than most here.
Also Rob Parker says I should check myself before I wreck myself. Sports section saved me from true cornball status.

Hawaii, I'm jelly of your weather. Welcome
Thank you sir. After living in Seattle for 9 years, I can confirm that Hawaii's weather is pretty damn awesome. But living there came with some downsides that I don't miss.

What brought you to Hawaii? Job? Military? Marriage? Either way enjoy the weather, I was initially going to go to school at University of Mano'a but I changed my mind and ended up going to University of Central Florida.
I was born and raised in Hawaii actually, currently live in Seattle. Moved up here because I went to UW.
Never been to Florida so I can't comment on your decision either way. I hope you get a chance to visit the islands at some point. It's not for everyone but it's definitely got some character.
Thought I was the only one that remembered that. Dude is high strung.

That guy always goes on weird rants.
Didn't know what you meant till I saw the Box Office thread and looked up Tyler Perry's Peeples Lol. I disagree with him having talent though, at least on the movie front. He's pretty one note, and I consider him to be a better stand up comedian than an on screen actor.
Welcome to blackgaf, Hope you survive the experience.

Welcome to the Family
damn I haven't done this yet....
And Happy Mothers Day to all of BCT. Make sure you tell your maternal figures thank you today folks.
Well, I just got back to Omaha.
Led my family on that I was going to Skype her today from Vancouver. Made her pick the time and everything. Landed in Omaha's airport last night, stayed overnight at the Hilton, then took the city bus into the neighborhood because a taxi would have been obvious as I pulled up.
I got on their internet from my iPad, asked them if they were ready to go. Brother starts a video call with me on Skype. I answer it from behind her house. As she starts the call, I open the door and walk through.
Worth all the setup.

Every time I see that Thundercats Avatar I remember that shit. Of all the shit to make up a fantasy life about, dude chooses to lie about working behind the scenes for a cartoon that only lasted one season.

So my racist ass cousin got the shock of his life today. Let's just say he wasn't expecting his daughter's soon to be baby daddy to be a darker shade of skin color. I wish I was there at lunch with them. I wanted to see that racist prick's face when she walked in the room pregnant with a black dude right next to her. My dad said it was amazing and it took every ounce of his energy to not laugh in his nephew's, who he fucking hates, face. My cousin walked out of the room and his daughter's BF and my dad chilled out and had a beer together.
The entire setup was dorky as shit.
First time I've seen my mom cry since like 1992 or something.
Also, when I left.. my youngest brother was about 2 inches short than me and his voice still hadn't dropped. I show up today and he's now almost 2 inches taller than me, and his voice dropped. All in the span of 5 months. Pretty sure he's going to end up at 7 feet or something.
Ha, nice. He'll have to change his ways, eventually. Is there any particular reason he ended up so racist while your dad didn't?
Thanks guys. My posting will has been steeled in the fires of NFL-Age, I'll be alright.
Nice dude.

My dad pretty much traveled the world from 16-30. He got his uncle to sign papers saying his age on his birth certificate was wrong so he joined the Army at 16. I think that really changed his world view. He admits that when he was growing up he would see a lot of racist shit and wonder why people were like that. After the Army he joined the Merchant Marines for 5 years and just went around the world. The only reason he ever came back home was because he was visiting his mother and notice she had bruises on her shoulder. So he didn't extend his contract and moved back home.
My aunt's husband was kind of a POS tho. When I was a kid he use to make fun of me because my mom is half Mexican. So his dumbass kids ended up like him. Can't stand most of them. If I go around them we usually end up fighting.

So my mom got called by a half sister on Friday. The woman was apparently her father's last child (that they know of). Grandpa died when she was 15 and her mother was considerably younger than him. She's the daughter of his 4th wife. So basically grandpa was a rolling stone. Also what's weird is that eventually he and my mom's mom did marry about 7 years after she was put up for adoption. ¯\_(ツ
_/¯. I guess by that time they figured they didn't want to intrude on my mom's life with her adoptive folks. This woman is actually in contact with her other siblings on the father's side which is great. Years ago she found a list detailing all of his kin while working on family trees and one date in particular (1946) she just couldn't place. Funny how she's the only one social services could find and she has all the pieces but one (my mom). Life is weird.

Always great when the first family member you really contact is the genealogist of the family. Makes life much easier.

Good stuff. Hopefully you will get to meet much more of your family. And that could be pretty cool.
I met my half sisters through my sister back when I was high school. I mean we lived right around the corner from each other which made it too funny.
