who is blade demarco? look at yourself
Posted by blade on Monday, December 31, 2001 @ 04:20 EST

i'm just a cracked mirror reflecting your imperfections/
on closer inspection/ merely a misread introspection/
i'm a man of principle/ damned near invincible/
no need for recitals/ i school all disciples/
use words not to paint but to make pictures/
no need to create portraits/ my thoughts are scriptures/
mixtures of thoughts/ unorthodox/
i'm city blocks/ with murder mysterty outlines in chalk/
i thought you forgot/ the truancy/ lacking in your continuity/
was thought to be an incongruancy/
its just you and me/ both sons of abyss/
is it any wonder congruency remains amiss/ a myth/
you live a life of infomercial testimonial reverence/
a life of who practices the best colonial benevolence/
it's evident/ life is but a predicate/
and you were left out of the subject/ but yet/
i know now/ life can't be preceded with indefinite pronouns/
one can't hold down/ a perception of a person because of another's actions/
we can unite/ but we can never be a man-brother faction/
theirs too much friction for this existance/
so we all remain walking contradicitons/
like an atheist man named christian/
and no I am not a christian, though I believe in god/
but I don't believe in the devil, my beliefs are odd/
if we the people were given freewill from god, how could he give the people freewill/
without giving you e-vil/
and it's all been this way ever since the start so/
now you know the truth behind blade demarco/


Sanborn: Gaming Expert
Posted by blade on Monday, December 31, 2001 @ 00:46 EST

From Scott Sanborn
Subject: Game ID Answers

Hey, I have a few answers for this week's Game ID questions:

First is Rob Clarkson's ID request - about a basketball game where you could punch one another, and players had mohawks. I am fairly certain this game was called "Punk Shot" - I can't think of any other game where "punk" basketball teams would hit each other.

Second is my own request - for the Data East game where you took on bike gangs and clowns - it's called Two Crude (I remembered this in a Managerial Finance class at around 8:00 this morning - go figure).

Anyway, thought I'd do my part and give my info on these ID requests.

- Scott

Liquor Mahal in the works
Posted by derek on Saturday, December 29, 2001 @ 15:11 EST

As was predicted by NOTD earlier this year, the Liquor Mahal is in the works. Apparently, India has dubbed it a "protection from Pakistani air raids" however it's obvious that the covering is only to hide the transformation work that Indian masons, carpenters, and paper hangers are performing to successfully create the world's first Liquor Mahal Mega Liquor Store.

A Mix of Emotions
Posted by kenny on Friday, December 28, 2001 @ 01:56 EST

It's a sad sad day here in Internet Land, a giant amongst the thousands of E/N sites has closed it's doors. Yes ladies and gentlemen, it's true; Machine Wash Cold is no more. Is that taps I hear playing in the distance? I think so, no wait, that's La Bamba. I urged Mr. Sanborn (owner and operator of MWC) to go with a new idea for the site, stating that the domain name was too good to waste. My favorite suggestion was one that would make him the internet's "newest porn sensation." I suggested he post useful clothes laundering tips, and then link to a risque image. Who knows we could see this format in the future, or we may not. Only time will tell.

On a brighter note, as I was looking through the logs today of referring domains, I came across a new one. Normally when a new E/N type page shows up it's a result of someone being in the same E/N webring as NOTD. I went to the site to look to see how they tried to hide the code on the main page, but was surprised when I didn't find it. Then there, at the top, the pinnacle if you will, of the list of links, I saw it. In small yellow letters, it read "notd" ... Wow. A fresh new link, at the TOP of the list no less. I'm quite humbled. So thank you D-man, whoever you are...This is a step in the right direction my friends. We are well on our way to greatness here at NOTD. Keep your eyes open, we'll be showing up everywhere soon. Will you be amongst those who will be able to say you knew us before we were huge??? Well you better start reading now, before everyone else in the world does too.

However, tomorrow we (THE NOTD STAFF) will be attending a screening of The Lord of the Rings. Yes, the greatest movie of the year. And apparently we have an extra ticket. Since we've been a little rough on the tranzy kids I've decided to give it to a tranzy student. Thats right, LORD OF THE RINGS ON THE IMAX, FREE OF CHARGE, you must contact the smiley BEFORE 1PM Wednsday when we leave for Souix City, IO. Ah Hem. Yes.

lucky bastard. i missed my clay final today. slept through it but all we do is
clean so it's no biggie. i had to write two compositions in spanish last night.
fun fun

Cardiff Giant(16:24 PM) :
Clay final? Hmm
devil's angel(16:25 PM) :
yeah. kinda pointless if you ask me
Cardiff Giant(16:25 PM) :
So for your "clay" final you cleaned? What exactly is "clay"
class?

devil's angel(16:25 PM) :
i didn't go to it. it's like ceramics. we make things out of clay, like bowls,
cups, teapots, ashtrays, etc.

Cardiff Giant(16:27 PM) :
So you don't get a final grade for clay'ing?
devil's angel(16:29 PM) :
i'm gonna go in after school and make it up if i can. i'm sure he'll let me do
something. and i've been working really hard in there so i don't think he cares.
it's not a big part of our grade.

Cardiff Giant(16:29 PM) :
Have you ever made a bong in "clay" class?

Transy Unable To Explain Shattering Defeats!!
Posted by smiley on Monday, December 17, 2001 @ 00:07 EST

OK, this will be my last transy related post for a while, so don't worry avid readers, I'll be back to my usual completely random posts soon. Anyway, I put up something about pioneers and basketball last time and I got a comment from an actual Transy student stating that Transylvania was a "Brain-School" and to "give them a break." I considered this for a moment but then I thought about something else. Should Transy be an actual "brain school", shouldn’t' they be able to out-wit their opponents? I mean if they're a university above other universities so much that they are considered to be "smarter" than the normal, why can't they piece together a strategy for a simple game like basketball? Are you telling me that these students can write pages upon pages of well mastered English, so articulate in design that they can't be distinguished from the most decorated authors, but they can't differentiate between a 2-3 zone and a 3/4ths zone defense? I don’t know about the rest of you out there, but I don't buy this rebuttal one bit. This filibuster on the part of Transy U. is only their attempt to cover a darker truth: that they're an active member of a cult. That's right, vampires. I don't know if it occurred to you readers out there but apparently Transylvania is the EXACT SAME NAME as the town where Count Dracula was known to live. Legend has it that the town’s folk rid themselves of this blood-sucking monster long ago, but there are still some to this day that say he narrowly escaped and was able to leave town. It's quite obvious to this NOTD staff member that the Count DID flee the town and migrated to the United States and set up a "University" to teach others of his ways. Pioneer is right, pft, they might as well be called the Transy Vampires. Ladies and gentlemen the facts are right here before you. Don't turn your eyes away from the truth.

MANCHESTER SENDS TRANSY TO FIFTH STRAIGHT LOSS
Posted by smiley on Wednesday, December 12, 2001 @ 15:36 EST


In an effort to find out Transys mascot I came across that headline posted on Dec 8th. I see you guys are having some troubles with the athletics so I have decided to post some fun facts about that mascot: The Pioneer.

* Pioneer settlement in Iowa began in 1833.
* Most of the pioneer settlers were born in states to the east of Iowa.
* Prairie pioneers built their homes from materials around them. Log homes were built where timber was available. Where timber was scarce, sod homes were built.
* Pioneer farming required much hard work with few mechanical tools.
* Iowa became a state in 1846.

Wasn't that fun? Now get out there and kick some butt!

Apparenlty a giant ad campaign for NOTD.net is currently sweeping through the Transylvania U. campus. If it's successful it should bring tens of new visitors to the sight. This post will serve as a general "hello and welcome." So hello, both of you. heh. Yes, ok, it's just funny to see your dorm area--yes I've seen it, NOTD staff members have been there many times, watching, and waiting for something of crazy proportions to happen, but it never does, at least not when we're there--anyway, your dorms, all in that one little square area, and to think that that is the entire student body. Hmmm. Well, back to "nothing happening" there. This is your mission, you choose to accept it. Do crazy things, and let us know about them. Harass people and film it, then of course send it to me. Write NOTD.net on various parts of your bodies and send us pictures. Prove to us that some of you actually stay up past 11PM on school nights. So once again, hello you "soon to be cool" people, and go be crazy, and when you're severly punished for breaking school policy, tell them NOTD sent you.

I like No Doubt, they're pretty good, but the main reason I'm enjoying this is that Gwen Stefani is HOTT. So thank you MTV for making my Sunday a lot better.

Tolkien: The Mastermind
Posted by smiley on Friday, December 7, 2001 @ 04:15 EST

Can someone please tell me why The Lord of the Rings isn't out RIGHT NOW?? I want to see it. Heres a quote from Rotten Tomatoes:
"There are moments in The Fellowship of the Ring that I have only seen in my most winsome and wildest fantasies."
-- Walter Chaw, FILM FREAK CENTRAL
Oh, need more? Heres ya go:
"Thrilling -- a great picture, a triumphant picture, a joyfully conceived work of cinema."
-- Lisa Schwarzbaum, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
Do you see who that is from? Entertainment "We hate everything because everyone sucks but us" Weekly. I mean, my goodness, how good is this movie? I'm currently reading the book (Just b/c I want to see how it plays up to the movie) and I've read *maybe* 1/8th of it. Needless to say if I didn't have other things to be doing (Work, stupid finals) I'd be stuck in that book. Its amazing. Really.
And on another note, NOTD will be appearing to see Oceans 11 friday night in Louisville. I read the reviews on that and apparently its pretty decent as well.
On a side note, just where were these awesome movies this summer? I wasited a lot of time and money seeing some really bad movies. (JP3, Pearl Harbor, Tomb Raider) Can't we spread out the really awesome moives over the course of an entire year? That'd make things go much smoother.
And one more thing before I stop the movie talk; Lucas, this is directed right at you, buddy. DO NOT SCREW UP ON Episode 2. You narrowly escaped being destoried for EP1 (You can thank Darth Maul for that). Speaking of Maul, why'd ya have to go and kill him off? Alls I know is he'd better be the first in line to get "Cloned". You have been warned.

Me and Jess went to see Behind Enemy Lines tonight...and I was pleasantly impressed. Great cinematography combined with Owen Wilson's odd sense of acting humor & Gene Hackman's anger made for a good action flick.

I've come to the conclusion that my dorm is the ONLY dorm on this damned campus in which the internet access sucks. Don't ask me why.
