I'm thinking of changing my avatar.

I believe in the elderly having sex.

Needs more -blam!-

Especially with younger people. I mean just because you're 80 it doesn't mean that you're suddenly attracted to other 80 year olds.

-Pufer

Yeah! I mean.. look at this guy!

He pretty well did leave his wife and kids when he was in his mid-40s and move across the country for a twenty-something schoolteacher whose daddy happened to be a multimillionaire. Not only did he manage to come up with a young trophy wife, but he also got money and a major political patron in her father in one move. How often does that happen?

-Pufer

Please, stay on topic.

#####.

I do like Ambrosia's censoring a lot. It's better than those filters that inexplicably change your words from "######" to "male chicken" and stuff like that.

Though iirc it does something like that with one word, but I can't seem to remember which one it is.

I ######, You ######, we all ###### for Duck?

##### a duck.

As far as I can tell, ###### (Americanese arsehole) is censored here but not in the BnB. I don't understand this.

-Pufer

The BnB couldn't survive without that word. Here, we don't survive anyway so they just censor it.

Like Woot!'s forums? They have some very odd censors-ie, "firefly" is changed to "roxanne." And "lol" becomes "*giggles madly*"

They censor, "lol"?

Because it kills a part of me inside every time people say that stupid little 3 word.

All forums should censor "lol" and replace it with "I am an idiot."

My favorite censors come from the supermega forums though, just because they're so random and injokey.
"Awesome" becomes "emosewa."
"Mom" becomes "FILTROWNED."
"Old Man" becomes "The Skipper."
Great times all around.

Poop.

Edit: ^ liek omg not sensor'd

We should all be bitter that we can freely say chimp though.

I recall a forum where "manuscript" was filtered to "m****cript" from the filter, so then they decided just to filter the whole word.

So what filters into chimp? that's the one I remember.

Yes, progress can be a #####.

Nothing filters into chimp. Chimp used to be censored in the UBB days (which made someone's [ephrin's, I believe] signature "95% ****panzee," the implications of which I always found funny).

That is pretty funny

Once in High School, my friend and I changed all the MS Word programs in the computer lab so that when someone typed "but" it came out as "butt pirate". One of my classmates didn't notice until she had printed out her first draft. Yeah...she was pretty daft, that one.

But, it was awesome.

-Vecclicious

I wish my computer skills extended to awesome stuff like that. I'm a prankster at heart - but have few ways to let it out.

Get Flash. http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/prank/

Haha, I know how to do that. But I'd probably get suspended if I did it, and I'm in the running for perfect attendance which automatically enters you into a contest for a free car around these parts.

Where are "these parts?"

-Pufer

I was still Valedictorian in spite of my mischievous tendencies.

But, I hope you get that car.

-Veccy

Aww! I want a car...

Thanks. The odds are in my favor, relative to a drawing in, say, the lottery. Only about 120 students in the entire state have perfect attendance every year.

I'm also geared towards becoming the Valedictorian in my class, with a 4.0 instead of the 3.8 that you can have as a minimum, I might add.

Edit:

Oh, it clicked. I thought you were talking about something else. Anyway, "these parts" happens to be in the good ol' town of Pueblo Colorado, which is located in the smack dab middle of nowhere. Don't marry anybody from Pueblo, you don't want to get anchored down to this city. Trust me.

Well there go my hopes and dreams!
(You don't want to know how many mistakes I made in this post. Drunk posting = bad idea [though at least I can still catch my mistakes])

I gotta try that sometime...

I never cease to be amazed at the wild levels of pollution that have historically dumped in Colorado. I mean, turn a mining town into a leather tanning center and then a steel town? Crikey. That's some heavy stuff being pumped into the air and water.

Granted, it's nothing compared to Denver (between the radium mining, smelter operations, and refineries, something like 50% of metro Denver qualifies as a Superfund site, add in the Rocky Mountain Arsenal (US Army chemical weapons production) and Rocky Flats (DOE plutonium fuze production for nukes) flanking Denver to the east and west, respectively, and it's a wonder anyone is still alive, especially considering stuff like Rocky Flats was basically a fallout factory for 40 years while pumping unprocessed weapons-grade plutonium dust into the air over Denver), but it's still not good.

-Pufer

Actually, they've done a pretty good job at cleaning up the water around here. It might be better if Colorado Springs Utilities stopped dumping s*** into our water, but they say that those sewage dumps are all "accidents." Blow me.

The steel mill isn't doing as well as it used to. Many people are beginning to view Pueblo as a chili town, due to the exceptionally hot chili peppers they grow and sell during the Farmers' Market.


Huh, I was aware that Denver has a smog problem and a problem with radon seeping into houses through the ground, but this is new stuff to me...

Clearly the first thing you guys'll have to do is to begin spelling chile correctly to pull that off.





Orange areas are superfund sites, I labelled three of them. That's a lot of Denver there. The smaller ones along I-70 are a refinery and a smelting monolith. The ones out towards Boulder are related to mining.

Rocky Flats was so contaminated with radioactive waste that they decided the best thing to do to clean the joint up would be to raze the entire site, which they did.



-Pufer

Ah, okay. I did a little research on this and found out that all this crud about pollution up at Denver occurred before I was born. Go figure; that's why I've never heard about it.

Then again, news concerning the northern reaches of the state rarely comes down here.

######.

I suspect that the latter picture was taken during our little period of drought, hence why it isn't as green as the first picture and there isn't as much snow on the mountains in the background.

Probably just the end of winter. It wasn't especially green out there a few weeks ago and there still appears to be some snow up in them thar hills. That and the color is really screwed up in the after pic (look at the sky), it should be a little greener.

Also, people didn't know about a lot of the pollution when it was happening before you were born either. They built Denver on top of the radium operation that had alreadly left, Rocky Flats wasn't exactly public knowledge (even those who knew it was an AEC operation didn't know how much plutonium was being moved through there), and the Rocky Mountain Arsenal's cover, as the name would imply, was that it was an Air Force weapons storage depot associated with the former Fitzsimmons AFB instead of a nerve gas production facility.

-Pufer

Hmmmm. Pufer, have you considered a future in the education system? Perhaps as a professor of law?

Teacher/professor is my backup if I wash out of law school. It's really hard to get into legal academia straight away if you didn't go to Yale, and since your alma mater's law school has already rejected me that path probably isn't all that open unless I want to do the biglaw-then-professorship route. That still definitely has its appeal, but then the question becomes whether I'd want to go the judgeship route rather than persue teaching.

-Pufer

hmm I've just noticed that ######(sh*t) seems to be censored on the DEFCON boards.

Edit: and apparently here too

Edit again: and apparently everywhere else. I could have sworn it was otherwise.

Yeah, I'm also pretty sure that at one point in the past it wasn't censored.

I think David Hasselhoff should be censored

The Hoff should probably be shipped permanently to Germany.

-Pufer

Professor of what?
