Be Excellent To Each Other

I think it is obvious that we need custom smileys on this board:
and

I will be dead before that happens.

You are such a miserable git. <- see, how pathetic is that smiley?

All smileys are pathetic. Trufax.

This. This, times one kerbillion.

I made this one for World of Monkey, so that things could be scored in the most sensible system that I know.

Things should be scored in bananas.

Errrr... well you are the Grim Reaper, so already dead. No?

The Grim Reaper isn't dead, man. How would that work? Who would reap him, grimly?

How can Death not be dead? How can he visit the underworld and the land of the dead if he himself is not dead. How can you be the essence of death and yet still alive?

It's a bit misleading then when his name is "Death"?

So Death isn't actually dead? I'm confused.

Death scores one banana

I count 3 bananas there!!?!?!!!?

If death never lived he can't die though. So he's not dead, yes?

The scoring system needs tweaking...

I DO have a single banana icon, but I can't find it at the moment.

No, he may have lived but now is dead and so became death, perhaps?

I think there may be something about the beginnings of Death in Paradise Lost, and how he, as a being, became powerful after the expulsion from Eden, but it is more than ten years since I read it and cannot remember.

He was good in the interview.

:sigh:

I love you Grim....

I want you to know that.

Custom smilies are a fucking abomination, as anyone who talks to your average 18-22 year old girl on MSN knows. What a fucking mess.

I smell a back-story here.

ONE GIRL PER INTERNETS! THIS IS A RULE.

Although I might have met a girlfriend over MSN but it was a friend of a friend so doesn't really count

No - you misunderstand - I don't mean that each user should have their own set of smilies

I meant that it might be nice to upload a nicer set of smilies to BETEO, as the ones that came packaged with the software are, frankly, ugly. Maybe even just the ones off of Invision, at least they were attractive. Also, a banana (for scoring purposes, naturally...

No back-story as such. It's just, being a single 24 year old I often find myself chatting to 18-22 year old girls on MSN, and they've always invariably got some stupid custom smilies.

Like the one girl who, whenever she said the word "baby" had it replaced by a HUGE animated GIF of a baby smiling (photo, not a traditional emoticon drawing)

Yup, that's custom smilies.

Like you do.


You're not that old guy from Monkey Dust, are you?




Oh heavens. There's a candidate for the glue factory.

I've avoided MSN, somehow, and the only other forums I've been on have been Grim...'s and a lawyers' website. Weirdly the lawyers' one had icons for goats, bananas, kittens, Tony Blair and Jimmy Hill, but no smilies.

That sounds a bit depressing, Gazchap. You're a handsome guy! Go and chat to them in the pub.

Also, why are they talking to you about babies?

Women you meet in pubs are rarely worth the time and the hassle.

Been married to her for almost 5 years.

To be fair, though, Craster had known her since she was 3. So he could vouch for her.

Because he had fucked them all MR TONGUE

Yes, but who could vouch for Craster?!

I guess - I have never met anyone at a pub. Well, wherever. I don't know - at the museum? Shopping?

Generally speaking, but with few notable exceptions, women you meet in pubs are rarely worth the time and the hassle.

how's that?

I met Mrs. Grim... at a bus stop.

Crikey.






What were you doing using public transport? Was the limo driver off sick?

School bus, man. I was still living with my parents (and I think my big brother was using the limo, and my dad was in the chopper).

Mrs A teases me as I once admitted to her that someone had told me supermarkets were 'a good place to meet people; so I spent a lot of time in supermarkets....

I agree with these sentiments. There's LOAaaaaaaads of "hot totty" at the super markets!

At Waitrose they work on the tills!

Try going round the supermarkets with a newborn. Women start conversations with you! MR I HOPE THE WIFE TAKES A LONG TIME FINDING THOSE CRISPS FACE

I think you've confusing "totty" with "cross buns". Damn those typing fingers, eh.

Yes. The perfect lady-attractant, just at the time when it's no good to you.

Oh, cruel fates.

If I stole/made a fake baby, would girls talk to me too?

You could hire mine!

Yes, until the point they started backing away...screaming.

Wow - that site really doesn't work in Firefox.

I've been having HUGE problems with Firefox recently. To the extent that my productivity at work has increased.

This board definitely needs more

Yeah, because *that* was the problem with that.

We didn't watch that programme as it was after the one about the 45 stone woman, and we'd seen enough freakiness for one night. The trailer looked terrifying.

Here's a "Reborn baby" for the board's enjoyment:



I'm still scarred from that program a year or two ago about mums still breastfeeding their 8 year old kids.

My billions* of different sexual partners have all been girls I already knew as friends, when we were sufficiently drunk / lonely / desperate (of course, I'm usually all these things anyway). I have literally no idea how to chat someone up, and half-suspect it just involves wearing a Ben Sherman shirt, having an earring, going to Wetherspoons, and having visible ribs. The trim goes mad for that, like.

I wish I knew how to get the sexy girls to talk to me, so that I will not die a virgin.

* one; once, unsatisfyingly, in the rain, with my clothes still on etc.

I am absolutely useless at icebreaking with women, so I just don't bother. Plus of course, at the moment I have the significant disadvantage in that I have a massive gap in the front of my teeth.

Doesn't do wonders for one's confidence

I also don't like the idea of meeting people in pubs, as I'm not much of a drinker and (based on Shrewsbury nightlife, at least) the sort of women you find in the pubs around here are not the sort of women that make my ideal partner.

:p

So, MSN it is! *strokes creepy beard*

"I'm Malicious Afterthought, a mighty pirate. I've got 12 hours left in this town before I leave, let's go somewhere quieter and you can think about whether or not I want tea or coffee in the morning" works quite well.
