| "If your house were on fire, what single object would you take with you?"
This is a question that becomes difficult to answer largely through lack of context. Let's assume I'm trying to pick an object to take OUT of the house. Let's assume all people and pets are already out. Let's assume I'm clothed, and I have my wallet/ID and that someone has already called the fire department. Let's assume that the fire itself does not count as an object that can be removed, safely, by me (otherwise, that's what I'd take out of the house). Oh, wait, let's assume it's a house, not an apartment. And that my car is over yonder, not in the house's garage. This leaves the original intent of the question intact: what irreplaceable thing do I possess that I would most want to save. Probably my hard drive. In fact, most people seem to pick binary data, rather than objects. But I also have old-fashioned photos and even (gasp) written letters. And books. Does "book collection" count as one thing? I couldn't carry it out very fast, that's for sure. I bet my housefire would hold steady at 451 degrees for a long, long time. The Silver Tongue of the Native Speaker? My mother once did some work for a private language school that teaches English as a Second Language. The school is called ESL Instruction and Consulting (online here). While employed for ESL I&C, my mother was instructed to answer incoming calls by saying, "ESL Instruction and Consulting, how can I help you?" Now, maybe you've worked some kind of job that involves answering incoming calls, and maybe you haven't. It's not uncommon to have to answer the phone with something other than "Hello," and it's probably not uncommon for such phrases to be a mouthful at first. However, there's getting it wrong, and then there's really getting it wrong. Only in the latter case do you get to tell a story. So, my mom answers the phone one day and says, "ESL Construction and Insulting . . . wait, that's not right!" She and the customer had a good laugh. Subsequently, however, my mother had a difficult time keeping a straight face when answering the phone, and was always incredibly scrupulous about the words leaving her mouth. So much for the silver-tongue of the native speaker! Just Following Instructions... It must have been when I was in 11th grade, when I was taking AP Spanish, that I went to a state-wide high school competition at Gordon College. Smart and talented students were nominated in a number of academic and artistic disciplines, and sent off in a van to compete. I and two of my friends, Samantha and Justin, were representing Woodward Academy in the Spanish language competition. Our instructions had been that a judge would listen to the three of us talk to each other in Spanish and give us some kind of rating. We would engage in a natural, spontaneous dialog, perhaps on a topic given by the judge. We expected that we'd wait our turn and then be called in to some separate room to speak. So much for expectations. All the competing Spanish language teams were shepherded into one room. The judge sat at the front of the room and each team spoke not only in front of the judge, but in front of all the competitors from other schools! Furthermore, we snotty private school kids were in our dorky school uniforms, and felt we stuck out. To make matters worse, all the other school groups had prepared (read: memorized) elaborate dialogues - skits, really - complete with props and costumes! We had only ourselves and our navy blue and gray uniforms. We began to panic. We had, obviously and tragically, misunderstood the instructions. We tried to plan a little dialog during transitions between skits. Our desperate plan hinged on saying things like, What have you been doing lately? Oh, I've had a lot of homework, how about you?. It was to be an entertaining dialog for sure. Our turn came. We were supposed to have a skit, and, of course, we didn't have one. We knew it, and soon everyone else would, too. But we couldn't escape the room, the audience, the judging. So we stood at the front of the room and everyone watched us mumble things in Spanish about how much homework we had. Justin threw in a long sentence with a self-conscious conditional clause in it. Just for the sheer grammatical perversity of it. We stuttered to a stop and sat down. Maybe they clapped, puzzled - I don't remember. Later that day everyone gathered in the auditorium to see the awards given out. Who had won in the math competition? Which chorus was judged the best? Whose artwork? I seem to remember Woodward doing pretty well. And then, the Spanish awards. Which of the elaborate skits would they pick? Justin and Samantha and I groaned and laughed and hid our faces, knowing we'd take home nothing for our team. To our utter surprise, the judge picked us as the best Spanish-speaking team, and Justin as the best Spanish-speaking individual. We had followed the instructions correctly after all - and no one else had! And it seemed that Justin's single whimsically grammatical sentence had really struck home. We were, if anything, more embarrassed than before - we had to stand up and receive recognition for beating out all the other teams, who had, obviously, put more work into preparing than we had. And that's what you get for just following instructions. That and Following the FAQ's I do hope you have fun posting here....Enjoy RO... |

| Wondering why I was gone ofr 3 days?
Well, my mother gave me a "late" graduation gift, and decided to take me to Atlanta for a "surprise gift" that I was expecting. She was told by my uncle that a major Gaming Expo was held at the CNN station up in Atlanta GA where major tournaments were held. When I walked in, I was in heaven, hundreds of tournaments were held for hundreds of games, and thanks to my uncle, I was able to stay and particaapte in the tournament for free. Anyways, there were PS2 gaming tournaments, PC gaming Tournaments, Super Smash Brothers tournaments for the N64 and Gamecube, and Xbox tournaments for Mechwarrior, Halo 1 and 2, and like 4 others. And even card game tournaments. First PC tournament I particapated in was Unreal Tournament. I ranked 5th place out of about 90 people. I won a free year of Xbox live Quake 3 Team Arena, Oh man, I got 11th place. Diddnt win a thing, but alot of people thought I was godly because I use the Rail gun while jumping. I lost because I wasnt too firmilliar with Half of the maps  alot of them were custom made.
Farcry I did prety good, We had a match with 200 kills, I got 2nd place alot with about 178 kills total...Some guy got pissed at me because I was annoying with the sniper Rifle....I think there about 2 of them in that game...I dunno, I never played the game and I did pretty good....I diddnt win anything except a bunch of free meals Halo 2....No one has a life playing this game....I never seen people throw grenades, Turn around Kill like 2 people, Turn around, and blow up the grenade Killing 4 people at a time....I diddnt place >.< But a guy named Butterbean won like 200 dollars Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsitence, I got 9th place out of 40 people who played....The person who won was a girl....A really hot girl....I kinda flirted with her bad there  Her name was Mrs. Snake 
The major tournament that was played was some RTS game that was like Empire Earth....but newer...I learned while I played during the practice round...A freaking 9 hour game! Anyways, I was the final 10...I won a 40 dollar gift card from GameStop. Magic The gathering: I used a sliver deck that slaughtered alot of people. I diddnt win alot of games as well....But overall, I only won a free starter deck. There was so many other games, but im curious to know if you guys have particapted in tournaments.... There was a DDR tournament, but I diddnt get into it because I was raping people in Dawn of war: the Expansion....I got 9th place in that one.... You guys? |

*Runs downstairs to see what type of crap he drinks* *Milk reads* "Nonfat Skim Milk" and "Nonfat Buttermilk* I dont drink the stuff. My friends wonder all the time why I buy Chocolate milk at the store when we walk down there...Because the milk I usually drink is SICK! The bread, the food, the drink...everything is for my grandmother. But i dont complain, every once in awhile my Aunt will go out and buy me some real food.... Oh god, I hate drinking my coffee with Splenda sugar and no calorie cream.... So yeah, my food source is Hell But like I said, I cant complain, if it makes me grandmother healthier. Im with it, and I dont say a word....
