Define spam. Better yet, have one of the Admins define spam because the Board Policies sticky really doesn't do that.

7. No spamming the forums with off topic posts. Spamming the forums will result in an immediate ban.

Pretty vague.

So what kinda music does everyone like or currently listening to. I'm listening to Red Hot Chili Peppers and Green Day. And a little bit of U2.

Fee · 12-10-2006, 11:14 AM

I have a friend who was at the U2 concert in Honolulu last night. It has been a long time since I envied someone that much. wah!

mhstennis100 · 12-10-2006, 11:17 AM

nice, I might go the Chili Pepper concert whenever they come to town.

Lets hope to god Chris doesn't find this thread bothersome then

It might be vague, but if it was too specific people would be crying that their thread wasn't breaking any of the rules, but was closed anyway

I only have a second here - I'm at work and am swamped. I guess that's what you get when you come back after a few weeks of holidays.

Anyway, I'm listening to The Fray, U2, Evanescence, Lifehouse, James Blunt and Nelly Furtado's recent cd. I have many more favourites, but since I've been listening to a lot of Christmas music the last couple of weeks, have only had time for those.
Hey Fee, I agree that some clarification would be nice so we don't cross any lines, but to everyone else who is concerned - just relax. I'm sure we've learned our lesson. To whomever asked how old I am, frankly that's none of your business. I'm not behaving in an immature manner and this is not my thread, it's for everyone, but since I started the thread I thought of that and just went with it.
Hmmm... I hope everyone is doing well today, but really, where the heck is Drak?? Gotta get back now - I have about three hours of work to cram into forty-five minutes. Take care all.

So, anyway, I really enjoyed the books I read.

Robbie_1988 · 12-10-2006, 04:26 PM

Why was the old Canadian sheila thread deleted? I've been away living under a rock so I don't know what has been happening.

I have been hiking in the Appalachian mountains and exploring unmapped caves and had myself trapped under rock falls and finding a way out of the caves and along the way, encountering very nasty creatures. But never mind that. Never mind that at all. I got out and am alive and well now.

So, has anyone seen any good horrors lately?

Sorry BoxingGuy, I meant to thank you for posting them. I actually wrote them down and figure I may give 'em a go. Unfortunately, my city caters to the hockey crowd but I'll do a search and order them in. Thanks.

Robbie, glad to hear you made it out okay, although I would have no doubt with your sharp survivalist instincts and cunning speed. Horrors? Hmm.. I think the last ones I saw must have been Saw II and The Chainsaw Massacre. They were gory enough, oh yes and Hostel. I find the psychological thrillers terrify me way more than horrors, but they can be entertaining. How about you?

OMG CC! YOU MUST SEE "THE DESCENT"!!
I just saw it yesterday with my mates and sheila friends and we all agree it's one of the better horrors we've seen all year. I particularly love it because it actually scared me. It's the right movie to see for all the folks out there who think horrors just aren't scary anymore.

Mind you, I'm in Australia so I don't know if the movie is out over there in Canada. But what I loved about it is the fact that it's refreshing instead of the typical victim freezes and cowers in fear of the ghost/demon/ghoul/monster and just dies a pathetic death ala The Grudge/The Ring.

Personally I live by the motto "if you're going down, take as many of those b*st$rds with you. Make them pay the price. You're going to die anyway so why not take them to wherever you go next." Now in The Descent, that's exactly what I got. Lovely to see the human primal instinct of self defence kick in along with the Fight/Flight Responses.

Mind you, don't get me wrong. I'm not a violent person. I just really loved that movie and got really pumped up seeing people fight back and gouge some monster eyes out and smashed their skulls in.

Now that I think about it, I should have brought a few stress balls into the cinema with me so that I could squeeze/destroy them. I was so motivated by those sheilas in the movie. They inspired me so much and I was so full of adrenaline that I had to go to the gym after the movie.

SoBad · 12-10-2006, 04:47 PM

Hey Robbie did you take any pictures on your trip? I'm not into horror movies, sorry.

CanadianChic · 12-10-2006, 04:49 PM

LOL - good stuff Robbie and I like your style. Fighting is the only way to go when faced with the evil that lurks in the dark. Canada gets their movies perhaps two weeks at the most from the US releases so it should be out on dvd. Or did you guys head to the theater? Sounds like a good rental for anytime I am not alone.

LOL unfortunately no. My camera didn't work very well in those caves that were several hundred metres below the surface of earth, especially with crappy flash. My warning: nobody go exploring the arteries of the earth/ unmapped/ undiscovered caves. Not unless you want to run into a lot of nasty, life threatening surprises.

My journey, was not much of a physical journey. The journey to the the cinemas was, but when I was in there, it was more a psychological journey.

P.S. I didn't really go exploring the caves within the Appalachian mountains. Hehehe. Just go see The Descent everybody. That's provided you like to be scared and see the darker side of human nature.

Fee · 12-10-2006, 05:27 PM

Robbie, I love the fact that you use the term Canadian Sheila. I don't know why, but I really do. You can come to my kitchen for a glass of grape juice any time.

CC - the ignore list is a wonderful thing on this forum and it's better than trying to teach a pig to sing.

CanadianChic · 12-10-2006, 05:29 PM

Fee, I agree and I'm slowly starting to figure that one out. lol. I love that term as well - very cool way of speaking, those Aussies have.

Robbie_1988 · 12-10-2006, 05:37 PM

Thank you, thank you very much. I'll make sure to drop by for free beverages/refreshments if I am ever in your neighbourhood Fee

Hey Robbie if you ever want something stronger than grape juice, you know where to find me.
