Ironically, it also plays on the stereotypes that black people mispronounce words, like instead of "asked" it's "axed." Too bad idiots who gushes their pants for Chingy and spreads hate for black stereotypes doesn't realize this.

Yeah, they're all right thurr. :x

Wed Oct 12, 2005 8:54 am

You're a dumbass.

Is it even possible such a large book in one night ??

Wed Oct 12, 2005 10:39 am

I read a 280 page book in 1 hour before (at school, I went home afterwards because I was so tired from it that I felt sick :lol:) so it's possible.

You damn nerd. :evil:

lol, are you sure you read it instead of skimming of it?

Wed Oct 12, 2005 10:49 am

Nah I read it. When I was about 11 I saw an ad on TV for speed reading and I thought it was interesting, so I bought the book and learnt how to do it. It's come in useful, I can leave school assignments and shit until the last minute because I can read entire books in short periods of time.

It's the coolest thing I've learnt to do, apart from creating a bong out of a bottle of coke and a plastic bag.

Wed Oct 12, 2005 10:59 am

How do you "speed read'' , it could come in handy for me??


And about that bong out of a bottle of coke and a bag , how do you do that?

Wed Oct 12, 2005 11:00 am

I always kind of wanted to learn how to speed read, but I've never seen a convenient way to do it like a book. I ought to check that out, increase my procrastination.

Wed Oct 12, 2005 11:09 am

Do a Google search for tips, it varies from person to person. Personally I just block everything else out and concentrate entirely on whatever I'm reading, then I can read it as quickly as I want and remember it all because I've got nothing else in my mind apart from what I'm reading.

Second thing, get a bottle of coke (a 600ml one) cut the bottom off it about 40% of the way up (so the bottle's almost cut in half) and then get a plastic bag and tape it over the bottom of the bottle (make sure the bag is loose, because when you breathe in the bag should go up into the bottle) then get some foil, put some pin pricks in the top of it, put the foil over the mouth of the bottle they put the weed or whatever on the foil, light it up, let the smoke gather in the bottle... take the foil off and inhale. As you breathe in, the bag will come up into the actual bottle and you'l get all of the smoke

If only I could draw a diagram... if I had phone credit I'd make one and take a picture.

Wed Oct 12, 2005 11:11 am

Meh , I don't smoke so i have no clue why i asked. Should come in handy for Legend.

Wed Oct 12, 2005 11:16 am

Happy 1000th post.

Wed Oct 12, 2005 1:48 pm

Goddamn, I gotta try that speed reading thing out. It'll come in handy cuz I'm fucking swamped right now. Hey, this is a letting out steam thread, I'll say it again, fuck off homework! :evil:

Um.. let of steam.. *farts*

hah.

I was editing our mock thesis and files/parts of the paper, about two Chapters long, somehow got corrupted/lost/damaged/ in the PC the day before the defense and submission. We passed an incomplete paper. What happened was an accident but the bottomline is, it was my fault for it happened when I was doing it. I don't care if I pass the subject or not but I'm more concerned about my groupmates.
Stupid technology. After this semester I'm going old school. I'm going to get a typewriter, seriously.

Hehe, isn't that the same question I posed to you many times? Why exactly were you flaming Cyriel, that's still unclear.

Atleast follow what it is you're going to preach or just hush up about it.

He's complaining about lots of stuff that he has to do but he could've just done his shit on time & not come here & whine about it.

That's why I flamed him, jerkoff. :)

Wed Oct 12, 2005 10:13 pm

argghhh....shit....thing is I'm playing bball again and am still playing in some sweet Nikes that I had like 7 years ago....problem is that they started breaking up a week back....I don't want to buy a new pair as I want to wait 6 weeks until I get to the States to buy some....

so guess what happens in the game tonight, the bottom of my shoe buckles a little and I twist my ankle....hurts like hell and is swollen up like anyone's mum's pussflaps....and we lost the game and we had been leading by 8pts at one stage :x luckily it's only a preseason game....I probably should have rested it as I injured it before the half but had a 6 or 7 minute spell in the 3rd quarter and got back out there and played through it....figured I was warmed up and it hadn't swollen up at that point :lol: ahh well, if it turns out to be a solid sprain (which I doubt) then I'll probably just strap it for tennis and bball next week :roll: point of the story, I need some new shoes, but gotta play through with old ones for another 6 weeks :P

It could've been worse ;) Only if I had saved that tinks69 transcript, which was like, what 3 days worth? :lol:

Thu Oct 13, 2005 4:44 am

When you read a large book...just read intro and conclusion..then MAYBE if you have time read the middle, or you can read the first and last paragraph of every chapter if you have more time. It works well! In History classes in college I read like a few books a day sometimes..so I know reading a few 400 page books in a day is clearly possible...if you don't read most of it.
(You can also try and buy highlighted books...those are GOLD!)

I don't believe this shit. I buy a new hard drive for my upgraded computer, so I can move the old hard drive to my previous computer (that's missing a hard drive). The older computer's got the older hard drive and I'm using it right now.

As for the new hard drive, it's not an IDE but a serial ATA hard drive, and my friend claims he knows how to install hard drives wasn't too familiar with the SATA, went ahead and plugged the SATA cable and TWO power plug ins into the hard drive. I told him that didn't look right, but he went ahead and did it anyways. There was a weird noise then the computer said hard drive not detected. We thought maybe the plug in configurations were wrong, and so we kept trying, then we got another friend to come in and check the BIOS settings. After hours and hours of fucking configuration and such, he asks my friend, "did you plug in both power sockets?" and my friend made some dumbass excuses, and I'm like, "Yeah, both power sockets were in." Then the guy goes to my friend, "You're so stupid! The label on the hard drive itself said, 'plug in either power supplies, not both, as it may cause damage to the hard drive.'" I knew it! I fucking told him, and he thought it'd be ok. My 250 GB hard drive got fucking fried! Now, he's gonna go back to the place on Monday and do an exchange for me.

Bad fucking news this is, I'm gonna waste more time installing all of my shit to the new computer, and I need the computer for my graphic design work, and I can't do any of that till Monday. I'm so fucking behind! :evil:

Mon Oct 17, 2005 7:11 am

Fuck fuck fuck.

(I just wanted the 2000th post in this thread.)

Edit:

Damn, that sucks big time for you Cy, I don't really know you for outbursts which means this really must bug you. :o

Mon Oct 17, 2005 7:33 am

Yeah it does, I had the opportunity to re-do a project that I did OK on, but wanted a higher mark so I can get that out of the way and do extra work, but no, I have to wait till Monday evening just to catch up because I'm falling behind each day. This whole weekend, I did absolutely nothing, and it's not going to help when I have this coming week with more work piling up. Man, I'm so pissed at the guy. He offered to go and exchange it and install it for me, and he'll pay for the price difference since instead of a Western Digital (that was the last one there, and he fried it), I'll get a Seagate.
