What Grinds your Gears?

[MadMike'86]

FOR 🤬 SAKE!!!!

In 2010 about February I lost a song which was my best at the time because the computer crashed. I got pissed off.
About January 2011, I lost half a years worth of music writing due to my laptop bluescreening!
December 2011! I lose another quarter of a year or more of lyrics! They're getting closer together and it's really pissing me off!!! I work hard to write this music so the computer has a 🤬 hissy and deletes them all! And it just spoiled the project I'm writing now because I'm too pissed off to write a calm piece of music! GRrrrrraarrrrgghhh!!!!!!!!

Argh!

That's a nightmare, glad to see another member into music.
I also dabble now and then when I have the time, currently working on new material, but my old stuff can be found here:

Keep at it mate 👍

lol. Shem has used the wrong mushroom!

I gave out the mushroom. I make the rules. Get me?

As I explained before, this mushroom represents growth and other stuff, which is why it's such a prised possesion. Why, I bet even posting that mushroom alone in a rondom thread would get tounges-a-waggin', and it can't be spam because mushroom.

Then... why did you call it a 1UP Mushroom?

My connection grinds my gears.

PLDT promised me a 512kbps connection when all I have for downloading is 70kbps. Lame.

Simraceway also grinds my gears, can someone tell me how the hell can I install this simulator I've been hyped for? The download link the official site gave me yielded a corrupted installer. ARRGGH

I suppose it's a case of, "I never asked for this."

He's trained himself in the sport, he can be hammered and still be able to make a semi-sensible post.

Then I must train under shem-sensei. *bows old-martial-arts-movie-style*

You win this.....

For anytime you need to redeem yourself on the internet, this is what you use. Valid currency on the web. I swear.

Use it wisely. I don't give these out on a regular basis. You are now the proud owner of a 1up mushroom which is valid for: ending arguments without comment, making a statement or redeeming one's self from foolishness. Enjoy

I've already wasted mine by trying to get back in after getting Whammed! but it seems the power of the Wham! is too strong even for a 1up.

Thanks! I'll be careful with it, it's extremely rare... I'll show it off. Is it valid for ending/winning an argument with a mod or Toronado?

Also, I put in Ridge Racer 4 into my PS3. Had some fun... not really... it was much harder to driver on that large screen then the little one in my room. I couldn't get around a corner without hitting a wall. When I did do well, 2nd place being my best, my 🤬 team manager said that wasn't good enough and wouldn't give me a new car. So I ragequit because I was not going to deal with that... I can't believe I got upset over a game.

R4 is an odd one. I've found you basically have to relearn how to play it from the beginning if you've played any other game in the series since because the drifting mechanics work so differently.

When you wake up and people are at your house talking super loud.

 

[dice1998]

you know what grinds my gears?

Old people. Most of them are awesome but there's always those certain people who think because they're old they can do whatever want and if us "young'ins" do something they don't like, they'll make a scene to get their way.

Being nice to them kills me inside.

You're a bit cruel. BTW, are you 13?

 

[dice1998]

...possibly

I don't think it's cruel when these people blatantly disrespect you.
At least for me, I can't tolerate that. It pisses me off..

I'm with you on this...we are told to respect our elders...well i think that's a load of :censored! If they don't respect me then they're gettin' **** all respect back.

I hate it when you stop at a crossing to let someone cross the road, and they don't say thanks or put their hand up to acknowlege you stopping for them. I know it's not a law to appreciate someone wasting their time to allow you to cross the road safely but a bit of courtesy doesn't hurt. Sometimes I get the urge to carry on and not stop if I see the same person at a crossing...I don't plan to hit them, just to upset them.

At first I was using cars labeled as Grip. I switched to a Drift type and that was an obvious mistake. I couldn't do a simple corner without either hitting a wall, oversteering, or simply going way top slow. I love that game but it's quite hard.

Er....well mod beats mushroom. Mushroom beats brony, anime guy or GT5 forum new comer. It's the next best thing to a free pass so be careful where and when you use it! It's the first one
i've given away, count yourself lucky!

Mushroom<mod
Mushroom>everybody else
Got it.

With great power comes great responsibility.
Got it.

That's awesome!

Correct.

That's awesome!

'Tis awesome. I may allow one a month just to make it even more exclusive!

Terms & conditions: Mushrooms are from Mario land and no way are useful in the real word. Seeing as the Internet is not the real world these mushrooms are just as effective as they would be in the Mushroom Kingdom and are equally as powerful.

While I greatly respect and admire Shem, why does he have the right to grant such power? I smell corruption, and turtles. I like turtles.

 

[Cowboys965]

More like Koopas. Heh heh.

 

[SolidS2k]

Who doesn't like turtles?!

It's a right of passage. Only knowing will allow you to see the reason.

(Gotta love the internet for making pointless stuff great)

More like Koopas.

Turtles / Koopas....same thing.

Who doesn't like turtles?!

Nobody I know. Turtle soup is awesome.

 

[Krog]

I eat turltles cuz I'm a meany head.

Take that!

take that!

ok.

take that
put your head against my life
what do you hear
a million words just trying to make
the love song of the year
close your eyes but don't forget
what you have heard
a man who's trying to say three words
the words that make me scared
a million love songs later
and here i am trying to tell you that i care
a million love songs later
find more lyrics at www.sweetslyrics.com
and here i am
looking to the future now
this is what i see
a million chances pass me by
a million chances to hold you
take me back, take me back
to where i used to be
to hide away from all my truth
through the light i see
a million love songs later
and here i am trying to tell you that i care
a million love songs later
and here i am

I'd just like to add that I have 100 posts in this thread. That means lots of things grind my gears. Sadly im still way behind VANDENAL, the most gear grinded person ever.

 

[W3H5]

Seriously? I'm second? Alex, how do so many things grind your gears!!!????

 

[mattythedog]

Life obviously upsets him greatly.

Na, just like me I suppose. An unchallenged master mind who reqires more satisfaction than present life can offer.

What shem said.

 

[W3H5]

Grrraaaaaa!!!! No, not grass. An angry expression!

I'm out of beer which means only one thing; bed.

Tomorrow I have a meeting with some of my associates and they will have beer on tap which means I need to be on top form to drink with them and not be hungover.

Right now getting more beer means calling the local shop and speaking Chinese which I can't be bothered to do and Mrs Shem has benn koncked out for the last few hours (wasn't enjoying Nepleon Dynamite) and I've got a cramp from using her PC becuase mine is unplugged form my system.

Gear grinding. ^ There it is.

Think I'm going to bed, so night all.

 

[mattythedog]

What shem said.

The master is here. Can I ask you one thing Alex? Did you understand a thing that shem said in his post about being something or other? Because I didn't.

 

[itsbenjibrand]

Ah, I just guessed what he meant matt.
