If CEDU was one thing, it was definitely "ridikkulus". I would love to hear about how some of the most bizarre shit we may have encountered there also had an aspect of absolute hilarity. Gotta have a sense of humor about some of these things, you know.
-
What was the most funny for me, personally, was how SERIOUS I took the program. My sense of humor pretty much disappeared for about three years.
That sums it up. After CEDU, more than I missed my mind, I missed my sense of humor. Now I'm getting regressively sillier in my old age.
-
CEDU not only skewed my sense of humor for awhile, it made me OBSESSED with everyone else's business. I was walking around in the real world still thinking I had to hold everyone accountable, otherwise I could get in trouble for their shit. Oh man, I'm glad I kicked that one eventually.
-
Did you really just relate CEDU to Harry fucking Potter. Jesus you're a fucking loser.
-
nope. I related having a sense of humor about things that may have disturbed us at one point to harry potter... and Mark Twain.
reading comprehension, 101.
But I admit that comparing anything to Harry Potter is geeky, and I fully admitted that in the first post.

The only losers around here - are those of you too chicken shit to ever post your indentities. "anonymous" that shit is weak!
-
Right! Like I give 2 shits what you think about me. Also...It's my wonderful choice to remain unknown. So eat a dick and go back to reading Harry Potter. Or was that "A Million Little Pieces." Just say NOprah

If you truely didn't care what people thought of you - You would come out of the closet!

*laughs* You know, your attitude only makes me want to talk about Harry Potter more. I like you, you're silly. If fornits is one thing, it's that it can certainly be entertaining at times.
Anyways, I have now changed the focus of this thread to be a Harry Potter conversation. What were everyone's thoughts on the sixth book? Spoiler alert ahead.
1. I think Harry is a horcrux, and god willing, he will be killed in the last book, because he really is annoying.
2. Snape will be vindicated. (Besides, he is the best character in the series, and the most complex.)
3. I'm fairly certain that R.B. stands for Regulus Black, Sirius' brother. Anyone remember the locket that wouldn't open that they found cleaning out the house in the fifth book? It was only mentioned in passing. I think that was the real horcrux. (I think Kreacher stole it, didn't he?)
Anyways, discuss.
Blessed are the dorks, for they will inherit the earth. Or maybe not, the earth isn't in mint, NRFB condition, and you can't get good money for that on ebay.
Now if you will excuse me, I have to go play Animal Crossing: Wild World on my nintendo DS. And then I'm going to go polish my D&D dice, because they are getting dusty.

Castle - I know nothing of Harry Potter, nor do i care to. But, i've got your back, bro. Anyone who calls you names, but won't own it - is the worst kind of weak.
-
Thanks. That's always appreciated. :grin:
I wouldn't worry about this guy, though. He's harmless. I think he's doing a much better job of upsetting himself than anyone else.
I will admit, though. People like that are fun to fuck with.
-
You would be surprised at how many adults read Harry Potter. But he might be too complex for you. I have a feeling you are not much of a reader.
I would recommend Twain, however. I'm teaching it right now in my Am Lit course.
-
Hey Castle, I'm with Venice - I've got your back. What the hell kind of lives do these people lead that they have time to just talk shit? And, if they believe they really have something to say, why hide? It's sad really.
-
Thanks. And you have an awesome username, BTW. I'm all about being an evil queen myself.
-
Castle- I'm a huge Potter fan- and yes, I'm 25. If people want to make fun of you for it, then they should make fun of me too. I'm pissed that they killed off my favorite character...
-
Which one, Sirius, or Dumbledore?
-
Dumbledore
-
I'm still holding out hope that Snape assisted Dumbledore in faking his own death. That would explain why he had to imobilize Potter, wouldn't it? I'm 41 and unashamed, though I guess I never would have taken the time to read the stuff if I didn't have young kids to hide behind.
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins; all of them imaginary.
H.L. Mencken, 1923
-
I don't think the death was faked, but I DO think that Dumbledore and Snape were together on this. I'm positive that Snape told Dumbledore about the unbreakable vow he took regarding the protection of Malfoy. Dumbledore practically pleaded with Snape to kill him. I think this was certainly to save Malfoy from having to do it, and forever putting him down the wrong path. Dumbledore was going to die anyway, from drinking the poison. I also think that this is why Snape was so furious when Harry called him a coward. He has been risking his neck spying on voldemort, and just had to kill the one person who knew everything about what he was doing, and who trusted him completely.
This is yet another reason why I think Harry is so damn annoying. He is totally clueless. I also think that a good majority of his magical ability has been gained from Voldemort. In addition, most of the things he has managed to accomplish or save himself from, has been due to dumb luck, or people saving his ass. He has put almost no effort of his own into his education. Even the patronous charm, I believe, was due to voldemort's influence, since voldemort is extremely adept at defense against the dark arts.
I think probably the most adept wizarding student is Hermione, not Harry. Harry is just lucky.

41 years old and reading HARRY POTTER! They should have called it the "41 Year Old Virgin" because you have never been laid.
Woah. Hold on a minute. You have been laid? I don't think that fake jelly pussies really count.
Seriously people. It's a fucking childrens book. If you're reading it to your kids that's one thing. But to read it on your own and think it's ok, damn. I want you to go back to CEDU!
-
You've clearly taken the "Children's Propheet" way WAY to seriously. Can I change you diaper now baby?
-
Dude, it's a fucking book. Why do you give a shit what someone else reads?
Something tells me you need more things in your own life to pay attention to.
-
Dude, it's a fucking childrens book. It's in the Childrens section of a bookstore. And they're fucking terrbile books!
-
Apparently you've read them. Or are you just guessing they're terrible.
-
To be honest, I read the first one at CEDU. And I've never read another one. It was terrible. A half assed attempt at writing. Ooooo some kid is a wizard or some shit and that's about it. Want to read good fantasy, ready The Hobbit, or Lord Of The Rings. Don't fuck around with Harry Potter for Christ's sake!

That's hilarious!

This THREAD is hilarious.
Thanks for the entertainment, guys.
I agree, though. Tolkein is a MUCH better fantasy writer. I still haven't read the trilogy, (I know, sacrilege. I've been meaning to get around to it), but I have read the Hobbit.
Harry Potter is more along the lines of a teenage soap opera with magic, wheras Tolkein wrote true epics.
If you are into pain, check out Ralph Bakshi's animated Lord of the Rings. Oh my god, it's awful. Every time I see something by Bakshi I think "Good lord, WHY is this man known for ANYTHING?" (His other movies include Fritz the Cat, [which caused R. Crumb to disown the character and kill him off] American Pop, and Wizards. Although I haven't seen Wizards.) He is the KING of the rotoscope. Rotoscoping can be fun, but it's hard to be taken seriously as an animator if that is ALL you do. Good lord, it really is terrible.
Nasty Hobbits and their nasty little pocketses.

Because, as we know, the lord of the rings has EVERYTHING to do with spanish.
"Gimme that ring, puta."
I'm amazed I did as well as I did on my SATs.

Well shit, of course Rawlings isn't Tolkein! Never intended to be. Does everything have to be an epic classic just to be worth reading? And why wouldn't Dumbledore fake his own death? He's a fuckin' magician, after all. LOL

OK...looks like the topic is movies now...and I'm gonna do my damndest not to read any HP parts of the thread...no...I don't read the books but I have to admit that the first 3 movie installments were *actually* pretty damn good...so don't spoil the later ones for me Castle :silly: I wonder if they're gonna show 'Brokeback Mountain' some Sunday night at Carlbrook?
The best movie ever conned in by a student recommendation unbeknownst to staff members...'The Brother From Another Planet'
That tape spent even less time in the VCR :rofl:
-
I think the absolute worst movie I saw there was "The Dirt Bike Kid". Oh man, it wasn't even bad in a good way, like Showgirls is. It was just baaaaaad.
I also remember this movie "Iron Eagle", which was a total piece of crap, but during in the movie they play Twisted Sister's "We're not gonna take it", and a lot of the students had a shit fit and started, in RMA lingo, "fiending out", which I thought was hilarious 'cause I found Twisted Sister to be a totally crappy poser band. Anyway, they stopped the movie and yelled at us, and said they weren't going to start playing it until everyone calmed down, which they eventually did. So we actually did get to see the whole movie, which was a crying shame.
-
I remember them showing the entire Brother from another planet movie. I don't think they stopped it. At least I don't remember them stopping it. I just remember it being a dumb movie, but with endless drug references. But the fact you remember it means we were there at the same time.
At least they gave us two movies to choose from. Though neither were likely to be good.
I remember when they showed Starman, and the Voyager satelite started cranking out "I can't get no, satisfaction..." And naturally, a bunch of look goods had to ruin it for the rest of us.
Only rarely did they allow staff to choose movies who might actually pick somethign worth watching. Most times it was Tim Brace or some other anal staff member who would choose the most boring flick possible.
I can only imagine what they would be showing nowadays. Movies in the 80's were just plain garbage to begin with. But today the selection would be hard to narrow down into movies that were acceptable. Graphic sex, violence and drugs are in every film now. And the soundtracks are half the experience. But I am sure Forrest Gump would have made it, because those 60's songs would have given the staff hard-ons. Strange how music taken directly from the 60's drug culture was acceptible music, but stuff coming out in the 80s when we were there was not.
