Actually, if that was one of my kids, I would be glad he didn't get the death penalty. I would be camping outside that prison door for weeks waiting for him to come out. And I would make sure somehow he knew I was waiting for him. I would send him a copy of that recent film "Law Abiding Citizen", cut right after the scene where he tortures the guy who killed his family. That way he could feel the kind of terror that those defenseless kids on the island felt when he gunned them down one by one. I would even keep him alive as long as possible so that he could endure days and days of pain and suffering The best part is that I would gladly carry out the same process on him that the guy in the movie did. I know a lot of people say revenge is no cure, but I would not be looking for a cure. I would be looking to make him understand the fear and suffering he caused to a bunch of kids - the fucking coward. It would be time for him to be picked on by someone his own size. Only then could I be at peace as knowing I did nothing to avenge my child's death at the hand of a callous coward. A coward who is only a big man with a gun in his hand pointing it at helpless kids begging not to be killed. Piece of shit does not deserve to live among decent people

LtLaszlo PHUCKITMAN Welcome guys and thanks for accepting the challenge and being so committed to XI and to the COD2 servers. I have to throw in a huge HAHAHA because all your stats will get a new start because you have to change your name to add the admin tags. Good thing we all know Van kicked ass for soooo long. Laz you can kick Nick any time you want it is one of the perks lol Not a bad thing on the XI stats, since they get reset each month; but yes it sucks in the Gametracker since I finally got up to fifth spot!! Oh well, it's certainly worth it. Personally, I look more at the ratio than the number of kills, since the more hours the more kills, right?? After all, isn't the object of war "kill and not get killed"? Hehe. And yes since Pete, Nick and Hoth seem to be my biggest nemesis' (pain in the asses), nice to know I can kick two of the three!! J/K!! Actually Nick and I go way back (co-workers and all) on multiplayer FPS - before the COD series was Duke Nukem, Half-Life and Unreal Tournament and others. I actually must thank Nick for years of PC support, as he is much more knowledgeable than I (as well as player - he always beats the single players before I do - bastard!!). XI FOREVER!! Nick, I hate you!! WTF Laz - I hate you too - LOL By the way F**K off.........................................oh, I mean, F**k off, SIR!!!!!

7toes_ky well i think that reminds me of the late 70,s-early 90,s lol hey you missed the 80's,.....................oh.................never mind

Couldn't have picked three better peeps to help run the nut house Congratulations and remember, I've always loved you all like someone else's brother!!! Now I have three more people to pretend to be nice too - this is getting difficult

Well done

BudSr - video's you should not click on when recommended by youtube. I think I threw up in my mouth a little. I grew up during that time and I still hated them. All the girls thought they were so hot too - like any of them really had a chance (wrong plumbing)

Sonovabich He did'nt fuck any of them you can bet on that, he likes to stand in public toilets and waggle his willy about to attract men Not just a rumor. He actually got caught didn't he. Put him in the same group as PeeWee Herman (at least it was dark where PWH was getting busy - movie theater)

Like the "Jesus" counter What a bunch of idiots

RDKL NickTheGrip RDKL NickTheGrip I think it would be a lot more entertaining if you use the one in your avatar!!! Ha! Ha!.....yes that would be hell wouldnt it. I love the concept of that mini gun but it would spin that chair in a circle like a sentry gun LOL Yeee Haaaww Easy answer - put one on each side!!!

Sorry, but the death penalty is too good for that piece of filth that gunned down a bunch of kids They just executed a prisoner in Georgia and there was a big fuss about the type of drug to use as the one they normally use might have been a little painful. This was a monster who stabbed his entire family to death but people are afraid the drug that ends his pathetic life might hurt a little. It would be funny if the topic of discussion was not so damn sad

The whole world is falling apart. It seems we are rushing headlong towards a meltdown I am glad I now have "protection" in my house as, even in my super quiet neighborhood bad things happen. Just last year an older couple pulled into their driveway late at night and another car followed them into their drive and two men got out, beat and robbed them. The only reason they stopped is because an "unidentified" neighbor came out and let off a shot above their heads. We don't even have a police force in our town, relying on the county sherrif so they would have taken 20 minutes at least to get there (no, the neighbor wasn't me - I would have aimed a lot lower). Everyone knows who it was but no one is telling the cops as they will probably arrest him for being a hero This crap is going on everywhere and it seems to be getting worse all the time.

Wow, good advice Judge and thanks RK When I lost the weight last year I followed some basic rules that I just need to get back to 1. Always eat a healthy brekafast 2. small meals more often 3. don't eat after 8pm 4. more calories out, less calories in - it is simple math and most importantly for me was 4. Write down everything you eat, then at the end of the day total up the calories and fat. You will be amazed how all the little things you do add up to screw up your plan. Pretty soon you start actually hitting that 2000 calorie target when before you only thought you were hitting it Lets see how it goes

Ruggerxi - HI my name is Rugger and I am an Idiot Just a quick note on my status for the next week and a half. This weekend 7/23-7/24 I have a family reunion I have to attend and will not be around for most of the weekend. I will be able to check pms and emails. Then I will be back till Wednesday. I am leaving for the >XI< Fest on Wednesday Night, driving to Wisconsin Dells, staying the night there. Wake up Thursday morning and driving to Chicago. Then leave Friday morning for the >XI< Fest till Sunday morning and when I will drive back to MN. So I will be very limited for the next week and a half. There will be no major server changes in this time. I will try to get a couple new maps on the servers Monday or Tuesday but thats all I will be able to do. Have a good day Wish I could see y'all at the fest. Only 4 hours away and I still can't find time to get there - enjoy your travels Boss. Be safe

Well after posting in the thread, I got to thinking (I know, that seems like a stretch) and I really hadn't weighed myself since I kind of fell off the wagon with regard to my diet, using all the excuses I could come up with (too much work, too much traveling, etc) Just to recap, I started 2010 at 270lb, and by the end of the year I was right at the 200lb mark ,which I thought was a pretty damn good effort on my part. I figured I had crept back up to around 220-225 but I got a major shock when I stepped on my scale. It's a good thing its not one of them "talking scales" from the 90's or it might have said "one at a time please", or "Sorry, no coach parties" I weighed in at 255lb (over 18 stone) to my English brothers or 116kg to my Euro brothers. For a lot of people, while heavy, that is not excessive, but for me it is. I am only 5'8" so it is time to do something about it. The reason I am writing this is to bring a little peer pressure on myself. If I announce this to the world (of idiots, at least) I will put myself under pressure to make this work as I will not be able to stand the embarassment to myself of failing in front of so many people. I know they say one of the golden rules is not to tell anyone you are on a diet but I think this works better for me. So I am putting it out there for all to see. My goal is to get back to the 200 mark before the end of the year. I will post a monthly update and if anyone thinks I am cheating, Lt. Laszlo sees me at work most days so he will be able to attest to whether I am actually achieving this or not. I was thinking about doing this for charity or something, but I would not know where to start organizing something like that and I am not sure the added stress of trying to collect money and such would be a good thing to have as I consider myself a "stress eater". Let's see how this goes. Peace all!!

RDKL NickTheGrip Well RDKL. You would most definitely NOT fall into the category I was railing on. Based on your story from the heart, it is obvious that you got dealt a crappy hand and fall into that small minority I talked about. I am sure when people see you in a chair weighing so much they think "lazy fat ass - ate himself into that chair" when they don't know the real reason and don't bother to find out. The ones I can't stand are the ones that do eat themselves into a chair and then expect us to not only accept their lack of will, but pay for their support. I hope you continue to get things under control and if you felt my rant was aimed at people like yourself, I apologize as it most definitely was not Peace brother No problem Nick...just wanted to show some comparison to the conversation. I'm not a quitter and some say I need to slow down some. But I got this little proverb that I live by........."If you slow down ...You go down" . I dont go out often cause its just a hassle but when I do I hold my head up high and folks see that Im all about the business . I still have a massive set of arms and shoulders that are well defined. I myself dont think of myself as "BIG" as much as others will tell me as far as the rest of the body besides the gut. Its just this middle/lower shit thayt need cut the hell off . LOL For fun I still arm wrestle a bunch and do one on each arm competition from time to time amongst friends . I also in spite of my age want to do wheelchair fights. I've dabbled in that a bit but my weight and my reach will out class me plus I'm winded quickly. I got an extra wheelchair here at the house with a open invitation to some sparring. We have had plenty of fun with that. This is my inspiration.....

Here in Detroit it reached 102 in places with a heat index of 113 Damn, a really cold beer tastes good in this heat

OK, I was going to resist weighing in on this subject (get it, ha ha ha) but I figured I would throw my 2 cents in. First of all, I have battled weight gain most of my life, and while I would love to blame it on medical or mental conditions, I really can't. I don't have an underactive thyroid or anything like that. I simply have failed to live correctly. When I left the British Navy in 1985 I weighed 175 lbs and there was not really any fat on me anywhere. For the remainder of my time in the UK (3 more years, I managed to maintain well under 185 lbs without an issue. The problems arose when I emigrated to the US. My weight started to creep up and up and I never did anything about it. I peaked at around 275 lbs about 1 1/2 years ago and finally decided to do something about it. I completely revamped my eating habits and started working out 3 times a week (which is tough to do when what suffers is your gaming time) Every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday I would go to the gym for a minimum of 2 hours From Feb 2010 to Nov 2010 I lost 75 lbs and bottomed out at 200. While not my target (180 was) I figured being 50 years old had to add a couple of pounds so I considered the plan a success at that point. Basically my whole take on this is the majority of overweight people in this country are simply too lazy to do anything about it. You go over to Europe and you see far less fat people than you do here. My opinion for this is three-fold: 1. Everything is so expensive over there, you can't afford to overeat the way Americans do 2. There is a lot more social stigma to being overweight so people tend to push themselves 3. I have seen Americans literally drive across the street. What do people in Europe do - THEY WALK and don't think twice about it The whole society in this country is geared against keeping people healthy. Fast food restaurants on every intersection, none of which serve healthy food as the standard staple (McDonalds, Burger King, Wendys, Arbys, KFC, Taco Bell, etc) Eating while driving is encouraged which is a double whammy. Fast food is easy to eat while driving. Try eating a green salad beind the wheel of your car. Plus you are not getting any exercise. Hell, in the UK it is illegal to eat and drive. Our cities are not set up "pedestrian friendly" so it is easier to drive across the street than it is to walk. I live in the Detroit area and there is 0 public transport. No trains, no subway and a handful of really crappy buses so you have to drive everywhere. Our shopping is all centralized in malls and such. The local stores almost do not exist so again you have to drive everywhere. i know I wandered off the beaten path here but my take on this is, basically, if you accept fatness as ok, then you have given up and should be shuffled off to some farm somewhere to be "put to sleep". You are a burden to an already strained society with significantly increased health care costs (which Obamacare would force the rest of us to pay for). You are a nightmare to sit next to on a plane. And if one more of you fatasses almost runs me or my kid over in Walmart with your "Rascal" I swear I will blow!!! An unhealthy condition should never be accepted. It should be attacked and demonized. Make all the lazy people who basically eat more than they shit lose weight so the smalle percentage of overweight people who actually do have a genuine medical issue can get the level of treatment and respect they deserve. And before anyone complains that obesity is a "disease", don't start. I don't remember anyone ever "catching" obesity. For the vast majority of overweight people (like me) it is, or was, a life choice. I know I will upset and possibly offend some people with this rant, but it is simply the way I feel. I don't disrespect overweight people. I disrespect overweight people who don't try to modify their lifestyle to do something about it, or complain that it is not fixed for them and expect a society that should crave health over gluttony accept their lack of effort and desire as OK If I offended you, I apologize. Otherwise, Carry on Idiots.

Happy birthday all

Congratulations Dude I missed most of my daughter growing up and I do not know what I would do if I had to do the same with my son Enjoy every minute of it

I wish..........................

Nutcutter My HP turns paper into 3d objects...does that count? I don't think a wad of crumpled up paper from a jam counts Nut!!! - LOL

Update A few people asked on Saturday why I was playing on my old POS again when I now have a "kick-ass" rig to play on. Well, in short, I went to power the thing up on Saturday morning and................nothing. Figured out the power supply was kaput. Nice, on a computer less than a week old. Anyway, I called Ibuypower and they agreed with my evaluation and gave me an RMA (return material authorization) on the power supply. They gave me two options, one is a standard RMA where I send my PSU back, they look at it, then send a new one back to me, or what they called an "advance" RMA where they send me the new part, then I send my old one back. I opted for #2 (they hold the value of the part on a credit card till they get the old one back and charge it if they don't get it back in a certain amount of time) I should have my new PSU on Tuesday then hopefully I am back on track While I am pissed the computer broke, I am happy with the service and support I got from them. I was expecting to have to talk to Pahood in "California" (which it seems is just outside Mumbai, India) and have them tell me I am a moron and please send the whole thing back so they can figure out its the damn power supply, but thank God they are NOT Dell
