My biggest disappoint ( and I'm not knocking the people that have applied ) is the aforementioned colourless uniformity of requests.Not one for something non-exclusive or really interesting.

Also to restate for anyone late to the thread I'm not currently a member of any HD sites ( having only recently purchased an LED myself http://www.samsung.com/ca/consumer/t...ail&returnurl= and I also don't belong to any "really exclusive " music trackers because my encoding skills begin and end with Easy CD Extractor so don't bother asking me for any.

Glad you got some enjoyment out of my post. :happy:

The joke was actually for kids- the chickens each wondered into the library saying "Buk" (book), the librarian gave them the books and eventually followed them to the pond. When the chickens threw the books into the pond, assumably for the frog (and to the horror of the librarian) , he responded REDIT (read it)...

My following post was an all-out assault on trees and old-growth forests. I thought it was fairly humorous (at least to me) because NOBODY ever talks bad about trees- trees can get away with anything- they even killed Congressman, Sonny Bonno. And not one tree was even questioned in the incident. :dabs:

The real joke was that Sonny Bono was ever elected to Congress.
Question which is the most farcical .Congressman Bono , Congressman (Gopher) Grandy,Governor Ventura ,Governor Schwarzenegger, Mayor Eastwood or President Raygun?

I have no defense. Maybe we need MORE trees...:cry:

The TV looks like a good choice Idol. Have you tried the wireless network in streaming HD movies?

Or the real joke was that you're little antics is fucking lame!

Oh no. There was no president raygun

Speedo I 'm wondering if it is possible that you could produce a sentence that doesn't contain the word fuck?

And for your information Ronald Reagan was widely referred to as Raygun by liberals because of ,among other things , his Strategic Defense Initiative .

But I don't expect a troll such as yourself to know that.

Reagan was a dick. He opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965 (which removed all obstacles to voting, such as literacy tests etc.) whilst he was in congress.

a gynaecologist going back home, seeing his family after a hard day's work: "finally some faces!"

No I haven't got wireless in my house at the moment and have been too busy with other things to get it set up .I got the TV on the 6th of January actually and only just got around to ordering the HDTV cable package today.:pinch:

Someone is going to give some good use to HD specialized trackers. :whistling

Not me I'm giving up my seedbox in a month or 2 and 60 GB total traffic from my regular IPS doesn't really cut it.
I figure with the money on save on the seedbox I'll just buy any blu-rays that I'm interested in .
Of course the only problem then is I probably won't be able to find all the old,non-mainstream shite that I like but I was fine before without it so little loss.:idunno:

The internet in Canada totally sucks btw.

Nice TV thought isn't it? Got the best picture this side of plasma but truthfully I really got it for the cool factor.:blushing:
Wasting my money on an overpriced home theatre sound system next. :yup:

Damn right.
60GB per month :unsure: I couldn't survive with such a low limit.
Aren't there any decent ISP upgrades? It could more than compensate upgrading instead spending money on media.
I pay 27€ per month, internet plus phone, unlimited traffic without shaping.

I pay $60 and the highest residential limit in my area is 120GB for $100 .If I wen to a business service I could get unlimited for $200+ but even then the upolad is only 2Mbs:dabs:.

I accidentally left my home computer on overnight last month and inadvertently uploaded an extra 20 GB and it cost me $25 extra.

See why ratios at trackers are stupid.Live in certain countries and you can be the worst wank and appear like a terrific member.Live in someplace like Canada or Australia and you have to try and explain that you are using the tracker to the best of abilities.

I understand where you are coming from...Completely. It really was out of curiosity. Creativity and real thought go along way and is seen on rare occasions...

I also now understand why we pass each other in the hall frequently amongst sites. I too don't belong to any HD sites, yet I own a HDTV as well. I have HD cable service but have neglected to get the proper connections to view HD quality from computer to TV...One day, maybe sooner than later. And for music trackers...Not a member of any either. I always find what I'm looking for publicly for the most part...

You should definitely move on to the newsgroups or to an yearly rapidshare account for 55 € (with your limits, I'd go without a blink to rapidshare premium). If I was in your conditions I wouldn't hesitate, most probably.
I was an avid newsgroups user many years ago, when my ISP counted my upload towards my traffic limit, and it was the best choice I ever made. Pity back then TS wasn't available.

I know that either of those options is the way to go ,especially since I mainly download movies and games ( a bigger hit on both download and upload than music) but as lame as the people tend to be it is I do like the social part of bt.No one gives you there opinion of anything or makes you laugh on RS.
That said I think it would be sort of pointless to maintain myself of various sites if all I did was post/lurk there.

Isn't it what many "reputable" people do? :whistling Aren't there sites built upon that idea?
This way you could still frequent most of the sites and keep with the BT gossip, while comfortably downloading your stuff from RS or newsgroups, and don't give a shit if you get banned or not. :yup:

But that's like being a prostitute without the upside of having STDs and being addicted to crack.

We aren't going to let this thread pass silently into the night, are we?

Hell no :w00t::w00t::w00t::naughty:
But i dunno what Martin Luther has to do with this thread anyway?:whistling

Perhaps if we ask real nice, Idol will (un)give us Valentines...

you ask ,me no ask
this Idol has powers

The invisibility is useful but it makes it hard to walk down stairs.

lol

200 posts to go!
Don't let the hope die !

Random enough it might just work...

MBM... I think this is quite possibly the best post you've ever made, imho of course :lol:

"Alba gu brath" indeed... Braveheart is without doubt my favourite film of all time, and even though this has totally gone off whatever topic this thread has moved onto now... I just thought I'd share that with you... now you can sleep tonight :lol:

Thanks, Burnsy. Certainly a benchmark film, IMO. I built a media room a few years back and had room for six original movie posters (one-sheets). Braveheart was one of my first choices- and one I was very happy to get my hands on.

I even have a bit of Scot in my genealogy... :happy:

Yes, as UNSTOPPABLE as a tumbleweed, a zombie, or a teenage girl with a cell phone...

UNSTOPPABLE as a randy girl with a carrot

I think I saw that one recently, too. :D
