YAY! wait... i mean BOOO!

but i like teh histories....

I'm a big fan of history. A good chunk of my personal library is devoted to the Roman Empire, the American War of 1861, and World War II.

OIC. im personally into the naval history of WWII and after. I also explore the pirate Eras a little.
aside from the naval perspective, im also into the big dogfights that used to happen during WWII and Vietnam. in not really into ground combat aside from the strategic aspect of it. ( i dont like seeing people killed)

Well, that face to face killin isn't for everyone. Or the reach out and touch someone killin.

The naval history of WWII in the Pacific is some very interesting stuff. I'm also a big fan of the history surrounding the Bismark.

OK, I've got a new photo of Lt. Bud on patrol:

You've missed out on quite a bit here in the Barrel lately!

yeah it is. its amazing how some of the battles turned out such as the battle of Laffy 3 where a small group of US destroyers and escort aircraft carriers managed to defeat 2 IJN battleships AND 4 cruisers along with their destroyer escorts. AMAZING.
OOO i love the story around the Bismark! i especially love how the Germans were surprised by those obsolete torpedo bombers! its completely hilarious!


OMG i hope Lt Bud comes back safe!

There were a lot of cool carrier-involved battles in the Pacific. I especially enjoy the History Channel's episodes where they show the color videos from the War.

It appears that Lt. Bud has a background in SpecOps. He seems to enjoy running intelligence missions into E. Berlin.

Love the east, west, wall thing going on. So what happens when communism fails and the wall comes down. Can't wait to see what you got planned for that.

Bur seriously law? I don't know how you do it. I had to take a intro to law class while trying to pursue my criminal justice degree and I hated every minute of it. Just tell me what the law is and give me a stick and I will defend it for you.

what if hes a double agent
we should security screen him.

Hm.... indeed, we may have a security risk. Let's hope he's not the next Oswald.


I think I'll try to feed him tomorrow, to make sure he's on the proper side.

Good Idea General!

In this world, the wall doesn't come down; rather, it just gets covered in zoas!

I actually enjoy the law, but only parts of it. My preference is for criminal and constitutional law. I'm a fan of defending the law as well, in many forms (see a page or two ago with my hardware. )



Thanks! That's why I get paid the big bucks!






Oh wait.....

you the best commander in my book

Well, I woke up today and Lt. Bud...







had gone over to the East!

Hopefully he's just doing undercover work.

i really hope he is just doing undercover work! i like Lt Bud!!!

He's under cover of dark, so he probably is just doing recon work.

I talked to Zach at Lucid Corals today, and the order is closer to being taken care of! I think I may have a surprise for ya'll once it gets here.

oh good good!

SURPRISE!?!?!?!?!?

I love surprises!
OMG hurry up and tell him to ship it already!

I would tell him that, but I won't be home on Monday until late, I don't know if I'll be home Tuesday much at all either. It won't be until Wednesday that I'll be around to take delivery.

What the snap is goin' on in hurr?

Sink The Bismarck is one of my favorite movies I bought a model of The HMS Hood and never built it

The tank looks great MJ!! I <3 actinic shots

your life as a lawyer is making me want to be less and less of a lawyer.

PS check out my tank thread for an update

All kinds of monkeyin around is what!

I actually used to build a lot of models. I had a model of the Atlantis shuttle, the USS Arizona, the USS Missouri, and a few others. I used to love putting those things together.

Thanks! I really like that I can just flip a switch and get actinic only lighting.



Well, life as a law student is a bit more hectic than being a lawyer. Aside from classes, I've got my work as a law clerk, cases I handle in our law clinic, and preparing for the licensing exams.

studying is always harder than the actual job isnt it? ugh...i hate school
im still thinking about marine bio but i still really wanna go into law...

Go with what you love, Nate. Whatever you choose, you'll be doing it for a long time. My .02; don't lock yourself in yet. You're still young, take advantage of undergraduate college to try different classes--you never know what's out there unless you open yourself to it.

And you can always combine your two known interests of law and marine bio to study environmental law.









(sorry, it's the mom in me, I can't help it)

Yup, there's a lot of good options in the law.

I'm on a photo roll lately.

Apparently, war makes coral hungry!


The cladocora was also rather hungry.


Lt. Bud continues to scout the enemy.

those are some hungry corals!
hmmm i wonder when Lt Bud's gonna come back....

i just caught up on this threadand it's sure a fun thread. now for the seriuos question.....
a few pages back, you all were mentioning time and space in a toyota. if the theory is correct, then time moves differently for a fat person than it does a thin person due to gravitational mass. the "heavier" person would be moving at a slower pace than a lighter person would because of the additional time it takes to move around a heavier object. so in theory, a fat person would live longer than a skinny person becuase of the amount of mass involved between the two. so that means it is not the fat person's fault for moving slower than thinner people and if you want to live longer, get fat. the fatter the longer you live. here's to cartman's weight gain 2000!

Thanks for stopping by!



I'm not sure that's allowed.





Well, it's true that time will appear to an outsider to move more slowly around an object of heavier mass. However, there are two problems for the fat man. First, time will still appear to move the same around the fat man, so he won't be able to enjoy any more of life than a skinnier person: it will just take him longer to do so. If person A and B will both live for 90 years, and B is fat, it will just take person B longer to live 90 years. Second, the gravity well of the earth will make any change the fat man may have experienced (as minimal as that would have been) completely disappear because of the fat man's extreme proximity to the earth's gravity well.





Gotta love cartman.

THE NINJAS OUT!!!!

"who the hell are you!"

Ok I am up to page 10. All I can say is OMG WTH !!!!!!!! I wonder what will come tomorrow in pages 11-20. Sorry, I read books this slow also. But at this rate I will be caught up by Friday at the latest.

you'll like it. maybe MJ will publish this thread soon and win the noble peace prize for curing cancer with laughter. i tell you, it works miracles!

"They're everywhere!!!!!!!"



You poor soul, you deserve a medal for making it through all of those pages. I think surviving this thread could count as an olympic sport!

In other news.... once my email is back up and working, I'll be placing my Lucid order tonight!

And I shall called it "MJ's 'An Inconvenient Thread.'"

Bump... FOR AN UPDATE.

Well, Lt. Bud is patrolling the entirety of the tank. He's much more active than Lt. Sammie was, so that's a good thing!

The war coral seems to have it's feeder tentacles out a lot, but I don't want to do back to back feedings, since I fed the tank yesterday. It's still young, so I don't want to risk over-feeding.

Oh, and the Gooberz seem to be forming a couple of new polyps!

Awesomeness

the War Coral Platoon must be lean to fight well!

THE GATE! IT GROWS LARGER! :yay:

I intend to have this War Coral Platoon be one lean, mean, fighting machine!

It has taken the high ground!

Hopefully, one day, the gate will be the whole wall, and east and west will unite!!!

Indeed!



OOooooohh.... that gives me an idea!

I have room for two more zoa colonies on the wall. I think I'm going to get one red colony and one blue colony. The Soviets and the Allies!

DOOD. THATS GONNA BE AWESOME!!!
doo it.
PS make sure the Allied colony is bigger

Of course! After all, the Soviets collapsed under their own weight, so I have to make sure that's a long ways down the road.

definitely.

So DCG gave me the idea of using my laptop webcam. Lt. Bud seemed to be camera shy, so the laptop tricked him!





Hm... not quite as good of pictures as I was expecting.

i remember when i took all my updates with my eyesight...
what kinda lappy you got MJ?

PS those are uber pixelated.
Lt. Bud is looking sharp!

Yeah, the laptop cam quality isn't what I thought it would be.

I've got a Dell Inspiron 1545. Apparently, it isn't famous for its webcam quality.

At least I got Lt. Bud in the photo!

Oic.

lol yeahp

Yupp

Here, have a free update!










I placed my order with Lucid Propagation!!!!!! It should be here Wednesday.

YAY!
those corals are gonna look SICK.
