So I have several points to discuss concerning the ThunderCats. 1) Toys I ownded almost all except 4-5 toys in the Thundercat series. I recently decided to start selling the bigger items, such as the Thundertank, Mumm-Ra's Tomb, and Cats Lair on Ebay. The Cats Lair isn't up yet, but I've told people I was going to sell it, and I've already gotten offers of $200. 2) Still Movie Since I'm selling all these Toys, I decided to make a still frame movie. it's about 14 minutes long so far, almost done, and I will be posting it when I get finished with it. I never owned a Jaga toy, so I've been asking on collector sites of images with Jaga against a green background so that I can digitally edit him in. I have showed the preliminary version of the movie to my girlfriend and roommates, all of who have loved it and laughed their ass off. 3) Real Life Sword of Omens A blacksmith has made the following, which runs in the range of $700-$1000 dollars. He happens to live about 80 minuts away from me, so I've e-mailed him, hoping that I could see the below in real life. [/img] www.bridgeranderson.com/Sword 2.jpg[/img][/center] The top is the unfinished version, the bottom image is made of stainless steel, plexi glass lense for the eye which has glowing paint. I don't know how it looks so blue, it my have been anodized stainless steel which could possibly look like that. 4) Movie A new CGI ThunderCats movie was announced last week by the WB. It's actually a legitimate announcement, B/S announcements have flown around for years. This is even on IMDB.com, slated for 2010. I can't wait. www.qww.cinematical.com/2007/06/10/warner-bros-clarifies-thundercats-will-be-animated/

Someone delete the thundercat thread I made last night? I'm pretty sure I didn't screw up and hit something besides "Post".
Did someone delete my thread? Or did I screw up while posting? Well, if I screwed up, np, I'll make another one later today. If someone deleted it, please msg me about it if that's what happened.

I just thought it was hilarious that I got censored for using 5th grade behavior on a person that used 4th grade behavior.

I leave sometime in August. Haven't decided quite when yet. I am taking a $27k annual cut in pay (from 45 to 18), so I'm staying at my job as long as possible, and taking vacation when I leave to overlap with gradschool lol.

So I read gamefaqs.com a lot, there's tons of good info on there, however every now and then you run across a retard.
It was a b/s trick, followed by a "you are stupid for having clicked this spam post".
In Spider-man 3 for the PS2

My post was deleted by a moderator on the basis of a Major Terms of Service Violation, and I was put on probation, which I disputed in a flawless argument.

I stand behind my original position that the original poster was retarded. I guess some moderators give free reign to all, others let only retards have free reign.

So long as you buy the item within 100 miles of your home address or something like that, the policies vary. I have never heard of it being a local policy. I know the rules of Discover card are national. I'm pretty sure Visa is the same way. The motherboard company for example was nowhere near where I live. I read one case where the guy purchased a product worth around $100 from some obscure company, didn't get the item he paid for, got a similar lower quality item, couldn't get ahold of a customer service rep through the phone, never received responses to his e-mails, said the hell with it, sent back the item w/o an RMA #, got the item returned to him, then reversed payment. Then he actually had the item and his money. After reversing payment he was contacted by the company. They asked what the problem was. He said they could check their old e-mails and that they would no longer waste his time. If they wanted the item back, they could courier for it, since he already paid for the shipping and they refused the item. He also documented everything he did. "I e-mailed them on day x, shipped the item on day y, etc etc." I'm doing pretty good. I was accepted into the PhD program at Montana State University for Experimental Condensed Matter Physics. They paid to fly me out and check out their program. I have a "Qualifying Test" to take in Fall 2008. It's the last important academic test I will ever take, as it determines if I can go on to get my PhD, or am stuck with a Master's Degree. So for the next year I am studying for that test and am avoiding things like WoW. That's not to say I have no life, but I'm the type of person that could easily be drawn into playing WoW 10-20 hrs/week when I really have other things I need to do. Oh and and.... It's in Bozeman Montana, about 30 miles from Bridger Bowl. So I can run around telling people my first name, and they understand it. Normally people slaughter my name and say "huh Richard?" Or I get a saleman who will call up and try and pronounce it as B-r-i-d-g-e-r (saying it phonetically and not making a "j" sound. So yes, I am moving to a place where everybody knows my name!

I'd honestly just go read random reviews. If you see people bashing it a lot, beware. If you DON'T see people bashing it, that's a good sign.
Also, buy it with a credit card, and just pay the card off right away. If the product you received is not as described, you can reverse payment ( I actually had to talk to an account manager and threatened to do that over a motherboard when a company wasn't wanting to honor their warranty. They ended up honoring the warranty. I also did it with a local bike shop who didn't think they had to honor their 2 day old work which literally fell apart ).
So remember the "credit card reverse payment card" handy if the company gives you problems.

At first I didn't know what I was looking at, I was wondering "why is this guy posting 2 coke adds"? But now that I see one is a hand drawn replica of the other, that looks f*cking awsome! gj

I've never seen so many fumbles and interceptions in my life. I know it was rainy but wtf lol.
And I will probably never see a touchdown in the first 14 seconds of a Super Bowl ever again.
