I'm a boy.

(mudokon hiss)

[Pilot]

I'm a boy.

And WHAT A BOY!

[Havoc]

0? Fuck this shit I normally get at least 2. Fuck you lot.

Yeah, where's my best thread creator award?! You guys broke my combo!

[Pilot]

I've got your combo.

[Havoc]

Technically it's not a combo yet. And if I have a say in the matter it will never become one! HA!

[Pilot]

Stop claiming that something is something and then it's not.

[Havoc]

It was a combo when I had it! Then you stole it and broke it into pieces so it's not a combo anymore. Hence, you now have my broken combo, which is no longer a combo since it has been broken.

BULLET MAGNET!!!!!!

[Pilot]

Hey, you ever fill a prophylactic with flour and water and then put it over the end of a vacuum cleaner hose and turn it on in reverse?

I did back at school one time. I called it "Broken Condom" and it hardly garnered the self-accolade you give to your similar Broken Combo.

[Bullet Magnet]

According to latest research in the noble science of Combo Dynamics, a combo, once broken, must be disassembled into its component parts (ie incidences) and manually reassembled to claim or reclaim ownership of the combo. Groundbreaking theoretical research has discovered that, unlike for example a jigsaw puzzle, it is impossible for the combo to reassemble on its own by random shifting of its base components, even given infinite time. A combo must be rebuilt by multiple consecutive achievement of the required incidences. Like everything, this results in useful energy forms being converted into heat, increasing total entropy in the universe, but this is unavoidable.

The conventional thought nowadays is that new and alternative combos can be discovered when groupings of incidences are viewed sequentially from alternative vantage points of sufficient distances, such as that between separate galaxies. Some travel may be involved.

[MarsMudoken]

Er...combo breaker?

[Bullet Magnet]

Ah, you are familiar with the literature?

[MarsMudoken]

C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKA!

I've heard some phrases of the language.

[Alcar]

What, English?

Alcar...

[MarsMudoken]

I'm pretty sure it's some dialect of L337. Am I correct Bullet Magnet?

Most under-rated poster? Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Anyway, it's an award; and MA shares it with me. I didn't realise he was under-rated myself, but then I'm not sure whether under-rated means you deserve to be appreciate more, or you don't live up to your reputation. I have a feeling its the former, in which case I don't deserve it, really, and MA neither because I'm sure he has enough appreciation (at least I appreciate him enough, and if it's not enough, then he's over-rated). I highly doubt any of you get what I'm getting at, but basically, if everyone thinks he's under-rated, he's not under-rated, because they all like more than everyone else. Does this make sense?

Congratulations also to everyone who won clap clap etc

[MarsMudoken]

Yay, that means me too. Thanks nom-nom.

No I will not stop calling you that .

i don't think there's much meaning or importance behind them. its just someone saying 'here, have this imaginary award thing.'

[Wil]

Way to chomp off our collective epenis, MA. Enchilado, it's the former of those.

[MA]

but he made a great big massive long speech about how i didn't deserve it! i had to play the 'oh well it doesn't mean anything lol' card.

and what the fuck chomping off epenii?

[Pilot]

epenis

I actually found myself sounding this word out.

Eh penn.... OH.

[Splat]

Yay, I won the two awards I've won before!
