I'm very proud to say that I deleted my Facebook account last year. The omnipotent presence of narcissism on that site manages to put members of Mensa to shame.
Now if you will exuse me, I must get back to admiring my rugged good looks and tremendous wit.
I've only ever seen Facebook over someone else's shoulder seems like everyone's saying the same things everytime I look at it
Heck, those are examples of some of the more thoughtful and insightful posts on Facebook. Usually it's someone informing the world of the vital information of what sandwich they consumed for lunch. Either that or sending you a virtual kitten, for which I would be inclined to reply with a virtual slap to the face.
And again, the fact that people think May 21st is the day of Christ's return means that, by that very act, it is not.
May 22nd or 23rd, maybe. May 21st, no. Better off to just let it happen when it happens (albeit be spiritually prepared for it) and stop trying to figure out when it is.

You sound pretty sure that it will happen at some point. I take it that you're religious?

Yes, I'm sure it will happen.
I'm also sure that whether or not I'm sure it will happen, it will still happen regardless of what I think.
It's just a matter of when it will happen, and the more that people try to work out when it is, the more they look foolish because it's not going to happen when they think it will. But trust me though, it will happen.
By the way, I'm well aware that the majority of people on these forums disagree with me and would consider it more likely for Vulcans to visit Montana and inspire a currency-free human race to found the United Federation of Planets.

I'm an agnostic so I guess that makes me a fence sitter condemned to an eternity of torture? I find it hard to have faith when there's so much suffering in the world; myself included. Out of curiosity, what fate will all the other animals on Earth experience, seeming as they can not grasp the concept of God (or much else for that matter)? On that note, how about the mentally handicapped or cultures whose faith revolves around a different God?
I genuinely hope that my questions haven't offended you but I really would like to hear your thoughts. As I said, I'm on the fence...

That, however, doesn't mean I'm wrong.
By that logic, surely it doesn't mean that you're right either.
Who knows whether a human spirit goes upward or whether an animal spirit goes downward to the earth?
NOTE: I'm merely relating one of the few verses I can even remember for the benefit of those debating, simply because it provides something on the question, but I am not engaging in the debate.
Apparently I was under a one-day ban from 4chan for mentioning /b/ on /x/. That's... hilarious. Have an ongoing streak of never being banned from a forum, and end up getting (temp) banned on the forum with the loosest rules on the internet.
And again, the fact that people think May 21st is the day of Christ's return means that, by that very act, it is not.
So, what, as long as I pick up a sign and treat every day like it's the apocalypse, it'll never happen?
Neat.
We can do it in shifts.
Hey guys, we've got a plan to prevent the apocalypse! The telltale forums will keep judgement day at bay with picket signs and crazy rambling for as long as we live!
May 19th! END OF DAYS. REPENT!
So, that takes care of the Christian God's murder and torture. What can we do to stave off genocide by other deities?
Whatever I can find. The actual list of ingredients could actually make me seem really smart or make my Hidden Peeple really lame, so I'm embarrassed to tell. I will probably give a full list of used materials and a long post on how it was made when it's finally finished though. I'm looking for suggestions on what to make the hands and feet out of though, as the feet and hands for a Grickle character are really distinct.
Get ingenious, people! I need halp! The Hidden Peeple needs feeties and handses!

Polystyrene. And I'm not just saying this because I have a giant roll of it in my room that I'd like to get rid of. Not at all... >.>
More seriously: What about dowels? No doubt you've already considered this, but they're fairly cheap and would be sturdy enough, I think, to support little Hidden People. They'd need some sort of base, of course...maybe a wooden ruler? I dunno.
No, I don't want a base. I want it to be able to stand on its own. If I made a base I would want the gnome to be able to come off of it and stand by itself if I wanted. Um, I do have dowels and/or fake hard plant stems to try for legs. I'm debating between the two, and both are study enough for legs and arms and the stems are nice and bendable. The polystyrene is a fantastic idea though. I might have to make a design change on the feet to get it to stand but I'm not sure. The little guy is really light due to having a hollow body, though, so getting it to stand is simply a matter of balance I'd say.

Well, by base, I suppose I meant "feet". If you could find a thin wooden ruler with a width about the same as your dowel's (or what have you) diameter then I think it would make an excellent foot and allow Mr. Hidden to stand on his own. And, of course, balance.
The stems sound great for the arms, but I think for the legs you'd want something a little sturdier so that it wouldn't wobble over time. Just my two cents.

I imagine there meetings would be as weird and confusing as Dodoo's musing thread.
Nothing in the entire universe is as weird and confusing as Doodo!'s musing thread.
I once tried reading some of his musings whilst nursing a particularly vicious hangover. I won't be doing that again in a hurry I can tell you.
P.S. I love you really Doodo! This forum just wouldn't be the same without you... it would be a lot less weird and confusing for a start.
No grues, but it tasted just as awful as I remember.

Sunday Morning - HANGOVER, DYING LOL
Monday Morning - WORK
Friday Afternoon - Weekend

Besides, we all know grues make great flails, so unlike Mtn Dew Pitch Black they're useful.
That's great.
Art of trolling indeed.

We can't see that image from our end mate.
different source. ....and on a side note, I thought it was 4.5 billion.

Ecclesiastes 3:21-
Who knows whether a human spirit goes upward or whether an animal spirit goes downward to the earth?

I should have saved the ban image like a trophy.
Neat.

Well played, sir. Well played.
Pretty good.
OMG. That was f - pre edit -
Never mind.
Edit: Stop acting like a little kitten folks. Give it up!
Try not to take it too hard - there's no shame in losing out to Tilda Swinton.
((monkey noises))
Each step closer to a finished gnome is a step closer to madness!
It's looking so good I don't know how you can keep it in your house without getting creeped out.
*looks down*
*Gnome stares up*
*stares back*
*stares at the screen*
And now for something completely different.

Yay! I was moderately helpful!
That is all.
I'm sorry, but I must disagree.
I love that I know how to make gummy bear flavored soda.
