This goes out to all of my friends here at JediDefender. Thanks for making this website and forum what it is today. I was reflecting a few moments ago that Celebration 3 is NEXT week and then Episode 3 NEXT month. Being in this hobby is one of my favorite things that I have and I really need to say thanks for it. I've come across many collectors who don't visit the various sites and I just think how much they are missing out. The online is just as large a part as actually purchasing your collectibles. This all is especially clear with the recent RebelScum bull****. This is a hobby, something extra I do in my life as fun. The same goes for everyone here. Let's keep this fun, now really is not the time to complain and be upset. Be the difference you want to see and keep clear from what you do not agree with. I don't know what will happen with all of this after Episode 3, but I want to say that since I got into this gig, I have had quite the blast. Since I started my little collection page through now, I've had people stick with me and it has paid off seeing all of us here today. I look forward to meeting many of you at Celebration 3 and wish everyone good luck in the future.

Beer is on Berry at C3 :-*

Maybe this would be a good time to start drinking then?
(either way, good speech)

Thank you to Chris and the rest of the staff for having this site for us members. I was one of your first fourmities at JediChris.net and have enjoy what these site has for sometime. I ended up going to another site which has now disappered (DSP) and need a third website that I could be a part of and found that I like it here with all of the people who post here.
-
Thanks Chris, I'm glad to have a respectable place to hang out online, without having to deal with immature members and such. I enjoy this place so much!

***Starts singing the Cheers themesong***
Oh wait... Sorry.
Uhm, thanks to you too Chris. You don't call "last call" on us, and we appreciate that too... Best time I've spent in the Star Wars hobby online has been working here.
-
Thank you Chris and to everyone here (staff and regular forum members) for making this the coolest Star Wars site around. The level of maturity and respect for each other here is something truly unique.
:P
-
Here, here! Thanks for the home, boss. 8)
I love JD because this isn't just a site to talk collecting (though we do accel at that), but also, it's a site full of Star Wars fans and collectors that have become close, personal friends with eachother. I definitely think that's the big difference here at JD. It's personal, and not just "business". It's much more fun chatting with your good buddies, than just a bunch of anonymous folks who could care less about you and yours. A really great community here... 8)
I don't know what will happen with all of this after Episode 3...
I sure as hell ain't goin' anywhere! ;)
-
Here, here! Drinks all around!
-
I'm definitely glad that I joined, and am allowed to contribute, to these forums.
-
Thanks for a bull****-free place to talk about SW! This has been the best site I've posted on since I got online, seriously. And I really do appreciate the way you let us talk SW, but do it in an adult manner.
Thanks! ;D
-
Total thanks go out to all the members and administrators of this site, you guys have made JD consistantly the best place on the web to just kinda hangout. Very rare. Especially considering the ample amount of people who escaped from the Tech-Level Islands and settled on the web. I am very humbled to be a part of this community.
-
I gotta agree. This is definitely a friendly place to visit and I look forward to (hopefully) meeting some of you guys at C3.
-
Is Chris buttering everyone up just to let us know we are going to get some spam in our mail. ;)
I appreciate this site because it very accepting even though my hangout maybe across the street. Most of the time I feel like Norm(from cheers) everytime I walk through the preverbial door over here. This is a great site run very well by a great host of staff it's a pleasure posting over here.
Don't I win a prize for being nice for that long. It's way out of my range of character.
-
Hopefully I'll get the chance to meet you all in person and thank you for all the great trades and well wishes throughout the few years I've been here. The first round is on me at Hooter's (if you're there early enough ;) ).
-
Don't I win a prize for being nice for that long. It's way out of my range of character.
Indeed, Gary! We've actually been trying to decide on one for you behind the scenes, for your most excellent behavior here, which certainly hasn't gone unnoticed... :D
Thanks for a bull****-free place to talk about SW!
bull****-free? Nah. We still let old man Morgbug post here, so there's a little bull**** floating around from time to time, Ed... ;)
The first round is on me at Hooter's (if you're there early enough ;) ).
Hear that, Josh? Hooters - Wednesday night. Be there! 8) (and I don't want to hear any costume or Seattle group excuses!)
-
Thank you, Chris, and to everyone who posts on the site for actually bringing me back out of my shell once RASSC died and having a place to talk intelligently about SW again. :)
-
Thanks, Chris and co. for providing a fun, friendly Star Wars forum. I don't know where I'd be without it. :)
-
Hear that, Josh? Hooters - Wednesday night. Be there! (and I don't want to hear any costume or Seattle group excuses!)
I'm traveling with a rather large posse of Seattlites, so I may bring some of them along, but I'm already making this my first official after-hours plan.
It would be a much bigger deal to you guys if you knew how much I HATE that God Damn restaurant.
-
Indeed I want to thank everyone for providing me with a fun, informative, and friendly Star Wars community. Also a special thanks goes out to the staff here that keeps these boards in line (not that there is anything bad happening here anyways)
-
Yes a kudos and many welcomes to the staff of JediDefender, for making this a great fansite for all of us to hang our virtual hats at. Great job guys!
-
It would be a much bigger deal to you guys if you knew how much I HATE that God Damn restaurant.
Hey! That type of talk is forbidden here at JD, so you best watch it there Josh! You know damned well that, aside from Llamas, Hooters is the unofficial JD mascot here... >:(
I'm going to pretend I never heard that.
But feel free to bring your fellow Seattle-lites along. The more the merrier. Or, the more, the more people to carry the drunk Canadians back to their hotels. ;)
-
I gotta admit, this is hands down best Fansite around. Staff and forum members are mature (when needed ;)) and everyone I have ever dealt with here always makes the extra effort, especially in the collecting aspect. Keep up the excellent work.
-
I'll take my Hooters response to the C3 thread.....and bitch there. I'll leave this thread alone for the congratulations to continue.
-
Thanks everyone for all the thank you's to the staff here. But again, we'd all like to say a big thanks to YOU folks, our JD members and compadres, since it's you guys (and gals), just as much as the staff (if not moreso), that make this a great place to hang out, as Chris already mentioned above.
[Sister Sledge]We are family...[/Sister Sledge]
Ok, yeah, that was a little corny, but you get the gist! :P
-
I love you man!
woo hoo... party is getting closer and closer...
-
Thanks for giving me a place to lurk and leach off the collecting community...oh and "Top 5 Hotties" thanks for letting us have that thread...
-
I love you man!
Who, me? Ah, shucks. I'm blushing, Shannon... :-[
:P
And from what I understand, a certain someone in this thread is going to deserve a very big thank you on behalf of JD very soon... ;)
More on that later though... 8)
-
No Thank YOU Chris! :)
-
Well this is a cool place to stop by from time to time. Here's wishing it only gets bigger and better!!!

:P
Yeah, you know me... ;)
just watch out for my hands Wednesday night... I hope Hooter's drink prices are at least reasonable...
Oh, and just how many cookies do I need to bake? I know I'm making you a care package Matt, but anyone else want some? Now, I can't spend all day cooking, but... I'm willing to make some for others as available... They'll be good after drinking munchies for the hotel rooms...
-

I have an old menu from the Orlando Hooters. It has coffee for a price of $10 and underneath (If you're buying coffee in this joint you won't know what price youre paying!) ;D
-
Drink prices are pretty much the same as most anywhere else really. They're reasonable. Plus, they have Guinness. 8)
Oh, and just how many cookies do I need to bake? I know I'm making you a care package Matt, but anyone else want some?
Holy crap! I'd totally forgotten about that Shannon! Thank God you didn't... Just don't bring my cookies to Hooters (I almost spelled it cookiees again just now :P), lest all these other mooches get their grubby mitts all over my goods! >:(
Make me several batches please, and if there's any leftover dough, I suppose you could make the rest of the gang here a tiny handful, so they don't whine and complain that they were left out. ::)
Thanks.
-
As the time gets closer, I'm looking forward in meeting the people I've only known through the internet. This is going to be blast......... ;D . I just hope I'll be able to keep up with all you youngins....... :P
-
I just hope I'll be able to keep up with all you youngins....... :P
Highly doubtful, Bob. But good luck with that anyway.
Maybe best if you stick to the fellas who are more your age, like Brent and Dale. What's the deal with all you Canadian old farts, anway?! :P
But I'm looking forward to meeting your old ass too! :-*

I believe the "Canuck Theorum" states that the farther north you go, the faster the Earth rotates, therefore time moves faster and the Canukians age more rapidly...
Yeah, that's the ticket... yeah...

Well, I'm not sure how I'm going to get you the cookies, since you guys are staying away from the con center... I'm thinking I'll make cookies, but I'm also thinking about making either brownies, oatmeal raisin cookies or something to go w/ them... I haven't decided...
I'll make enough for you and the roomies though...
-
Outside of Berry, the lifeblood of this place, I am going to seriously kick the ass of every staff member I meet at C3 >:( Colman, you damn well better be sleeping with one eye open, that's all I'll tell you. :-*
Just remember, Dale, Bob and I have all survived to 40, that's yet to be seen from you assclowns. :-X
Where's the damn pet peeves thread....
-
I'll make enough for you and the roomies though...
See that, J-MAC! She said you have to share with the roomies! :)
Jeff

I'm just taking all of his, on principle, since he doesn't need the calories.
-

I'll take on all three of you, blindfolded and with one hand tied behind my back, and hopping on one leg. And I bet none of you even get in a single good punch. Senile old people. Sheesh. ::)
See that, J-MAC! She said you have to share with the roomies! :)
I think you misinterpreted what Shannon really meant there, Jeff. She said she'd make enough for all my roomies, but she didn't specifically state that any of my roomies could actually eat them. I think she meant that she'd make more than enough cookies for 5 guys worth, but that they would still all be just for me. That's what you meant, right Shannon? Right?!
Also, we're not technically connected to the Convention Center, but we are just across the street from it (kiddy-corner, actually), so it's not too far away to personally deliver cookies... :-*
-

Glad you only picked up on that. Suggesting I'd pick on three of my moderator roommates wasn't the most clever thing I've ever done. I guess I'll have to be really nice to DeanPaul to keep you guys in line.
Punk. :-*

Uh, no.
Don't be stealing my title before the big fight.

Jedimac what are you talking about, you are closer to a walking stick than you are a stroller!!!!! ;D LOL!!! Old man indeed!!!
Oh and why is it gutsy??? I say nothing wrong, just wishing you all success!!! All Star Wars places dedicated to the fans deserve as such!!!
Oh and may there be a Celebration 4 or 5, maybe I'll finally meet you all there!!! ;) Remember JediMac you got the wings, and beer right???
-

It's gutsy because there is no doubt that this thread is being monitored by Rebelscum admin, and that actions have been taken against members based on what they've said here. And while you haven't said anything that could be questioned under normal circumstances - these guys are stooping pretty low as of late. Almost any mention of Jedi Defender at Rebelscum has resulted in deleted threads or edited sig-lines or outright bannings.
You're probably fine and all - but it's a tad gutsy to mention JD positively while also being a mod over yonder.
-

Anytime you're ready, LJ. Just say the word. 8)

I'm sure you can figure it out... Not that Rob didn't already explain it. ;)
-

Granted, we're rather happy that that's the case, otherwise, Rob would likely be moderating over there with you right now, LJ! If he hadn't thrown in the towel there by now, that is... ;)

Departing from the current goofiness (so all can see that the youngest Canadian here is obviously the most stable :P), I'd just like to give a thanks to everyone: Chris, my fellow staff members, and all the forumites. You guys and gals really make this place rock, and the great atmosphere has always made me feel at home. And now that I've suckered Chris into making me staff, I can only hope that I make everyone else feel as welcome.
:)
[/warm and fuzziness]

I really do like this place. To be honest more than any of the other sites. However, I still post at RS and others. This place is definitely the friendliest of the bunch from the top down IMO.
I doubt we will ever hear a "Get a Life" quote unless someone is truly being a #$%^.
-
Departing from the current goofiness (so all can see that the youngest Canadian here is obviously the most stable :P),
Saskatchewan is not part of Canada :-*

Only a 'Pegger would come up with that. Saskatchewan is very important to Canada... how else are people going to decide that Alberta is better? :-*
And back on topic, he who plays with bugs... ;)

But I digress, we're taking this off topic from Chris's heartfelt thanks. So shut it, old man! :-*
-
Thanks Chris for a great site. Only one error you've made that I can see cough*JV*cough.
Better?
-
we're taking this off topic...
Ya' think?! :-X
Pretty sure we have a Canadian finds thread around here somewhere for you Canuckleheads to babble on incessantly in, eh. Cheers, and all that stuff.

Are you people all sober?? If you ramble on like this sober, I am NEVER gonna get a word in when your drunk.
And watch the over 40 comments....or I'll kick your ass. :-*

Over 40 comments? I'd never do such a rude thing. Maybe you need to check the prescription on your bifocals?
;D

Well theoritically Woman speak on average 10,000 words a day while men speak about 2,000 believe me my wife proves this theory everyday. (I love you honey bunny sweet'ems sugerpie babycakes love bug) ok she's gone. so I don't think your really gonna have to worry about speaking your peace around 30 drunk star wars geeks. What you should be worried about is last call with 30 drunkin' star wars geeks. ;D

Jedimac what are you talking about, you are close to a walking stick than you are a stroller!!!!! ;D LOL!!! Old man indeed!!!
HA HA ;D

HA HA ;D
Bob, I think your 75th birthday's over now, so please feel free to return again same time next year. In the meantime, if you're just going to stop by and make fun of our staff members here, or encourage other members ridiculing of us/me, then I'm going to unfortunately have to ban you from the premises.
Your call.
Thanks. Come again, eh.
Cheers.

Please tell me you're joking pinky??? You're starting to sound a bit like the "other" forum??
Hey I said no names!!! ;D
-
And watch the over 40 comments....or I'll kick your ass. :-*
I already have a tag team brawl lined up between me and the senior citizen Canadian triumverant of Brent, Dale, and Bob. So if you'd like to add a little American flavor into the mix there Beth, I'd be happy to smack you around with the rest of those guys. Blindfolded, with one hand tied behind my back, etc. So bring it one, old people! 8)
By the way, Sharon's gonna be on my team, if necessary. ;)
Please tell me you're joking pinky??? You're starting to sound a bit like the "other" forum??
Joking about banning Membraneman? No. Heck, it's not like he's some long standing, well respected member of the collecting community or anything like that... ::)
Then, on top of that, the guy trades nice HTF freeze frame figures to folks like me to almost complete our sets, but won't go the whole nine yards and give me the damned Sandtrooper and Weequay as well?! Sheesh. We don't need their kind here, that's for sure!
Bob, is there anything you'd like to say in your defense, before I click the "BAN" button...?
Please tell me you're joking pinky???
And who the hell are you callin' Pinky?! You trying to get banned too LJ, along with Bob? Don't think I won't do it! Just ask Brent!
-
Who the hell is brent? I know people by their screen name!!! ;D
Oh and in the words of the Jedi Master:
"You must do what you feel is right, of course"
-
Brent=Morgbug.
While JMac has his tag team event, I've got Mr. Potty mouth all on my own. 8)
Kevin
-
Are you for real, Morgbug is banned???? Why what did that old timer do to deserve a banning???
-
See that, J-MAC! She said you have to share with the roomies! :)
I think you misinterpreted what Shannon really meant there, Jeff. She said she'd make enough for all my roomies, but she didn't specifically state that any of my roomies could actually eat them. I think she meant that she'd make more than enough cookies for 5 guys worth, but that they would still all be just for me. That's what you meant, right Shannon? Right?!
Also, we're not technically connected to the Convention Center, but we are just across the street from it (kiddy-corner, actually), so it's not too far away to personally deliver cookies... :-*
Okay, well, who's name is the room under?
I've decided, Matt, that since you are on a diet, that I really should make you cookies or brownies- unless they are made w/ Splenda- which really makes for AWFUL cookies, so there would be no point. Therefore, I am making cookies for your roomies, but none for you.... sorry! :'( just trying to help...
-
That's certainly for the best Princess, I'm afraid a batch of cookies of any size would be more that MAC can handle right now. Hopefully he doesn't mind munching on some celery while everyone else is enjoying wings Wednesday night too,
-
Okay I get it, a joke on the part time defender!!!! Haw haw!! Jokes on me!!! I knew old timers were good to each other!!!! ;D
-
Who the hell is brent? I know people by their screen name!!! ;D
Well now, who's problem is that?! We're all on a first name basis around here. You know that, B.! ;) Best you start reading through some of our feedback threads here, or sumthin'...
Are you for real, Morgbug is banned? Why what did that old timer do to deserve a banning???
Just that. He's super old, and was starting to stink up the joint. We may let him return sometime after C3 though. But I'll have to think about it... Plus, he's got a moustache. :-\
-
Yup, it's a joke. Part of the cool JD humor we have around here. ;D
Can I join in on the fighting? I'll take on either Vator or Famine since they're the only ones in my age group. :P
-
Yea kid, you go take on the youngsters, while I take on the Gen X'ers. Jedi Mac you take the on the rest of the Silver Foxes, they're more your speed!!!! ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D
-
I've decided, Matt, that since you are on a diet...
Who the bloody hell said I was on a diet?!? I want some cookies, dammit! >:(
OK, just so we can keep tabs on things here, this is the list of likely bannings at this point:
Bob (Membraneman) - making fun of moderators
LJ (Lady Jaye) - see above
Shannon (Princess) - for suggesting I need to go on a diet
Jamie (jjks) - just because he's an ass
Anyone else wanna join 'em?! ???
-
Quiet old man, before I call the old folks home for senility to take your ass away!!!!
-
Jedi Mac you take the on the rest of the Silver Foxes, they're more your speed!!!! ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D
I like that....Fox....yes, that fits me perfect. Only I'll be the 'red' fox. ;)
Feel free to slap JM upside the head, though, whenever you feel the urge.

One pull on the baggie sweater, pool boy, and you'll be down for the count. :-*
-
What was this thread about again? :-[
Oh yeah, a big thank you to Mr. Berry for providing us a fun joint to talk much **** to eachother, and ponder any and all things Star Wars.
Thanks again, boss!
I'm gonna shut up now, and go contemplate all these bannings I have to deal with... ::)
EDIT:
One pull on the baggie sweater, pool boy, and you'll be down for the count. :-*
Oh no you didn't! :o
>:(
New updated banning list:
Bob (Membraneman) - making fun of moderators
LJ (Lady Jaye) - see above
Shannon (Princess) - for suggesting I need to go on a diet
Jamie (jjks) - just because he's an ass
Beth (jadesfire) - see Bob
What's with all the obnoxious women around here?! Must've been that 10,000 words a day thing Gary was talking about earlier... :-\
-
Eh, the sign of weakness and old age, having to comtemplate gettin your ass handed to you!!! They're called quips for a reason, not slopes!!!!!!!!!
-
I say we ban Matt for possession!
(of a big sweater)
-
Anyone else wanna join 'em?! ???
Ahem ::)
I am so beating your ass with my cane, stoopid whippersnapper.
Chris, about that one error, uh, make it two. I still forgive you though.
-
You get em you old coot!!! ;D
-
I've decided, Matt, that since you are on a diet...
Who the bloody hell said I was on a diet?!? I want some cookies, dammit! >:(
Does this sound familiar?:
How much weight can I lose in 9 days? I need to drop a solid 10 before getting there. Possible? While still eating like ****, and sitting in front of a computer all day? Yeah, I didn't think so either...
Hmm... yeah, I remember that, I believe it was posted yesterday by Mr. Matt... and don't go saying I'm confusing my Matt's again... I was just teasing ya babe! I'm going to make you cookies and brownies- and enough to share! I'm going to be cooking a LOT it appears, so you'd better appreciate it! ;)
-
How much weight can I lose in 9 days? I need to drop a solid 10 before getting there. Possible? While still eating like ****, and sitting in front of a computer all day? Yeah, I didn't think so either...
I don't see the word diet in there anywhere. I also said I need to lose this weight somehow, while still eating like ****, as usual. So there. I think I'm more than entitled to my cookies. And brownies! ;)
BTW, the room's in my name, but just give me a buzz and I'll come down to the lobby and grab them. You know, so none of the other mooches in there do any... mooching. Thanks Shannon! :-*
-
You are welcome! I figured you might not be there- if not I'll leave them for you at the front desk for check-in.... :) No allergies anyone, right???
-
Funny story, some one left a jar of pickles for me at the hotel desk one day. I immediatley threw them away, of course. Weird as hell.

Now this is a very, very good idea. ;)

I'm still a newb myself (January 18), however....
Thank you to the creators, adminstrators, staff, and moderators of this fine site and my fellow forum denizens. Wacky antics notwithstanding ;) I believe this is the most consistently articulate and mature group of SW forumers I've come across.
Articulate is a big deal with me. Here I don’t have to deal with drivel like “i saw r teh w00t lava vador is sUxxorZ lomgfhlol squeeeee!!!1111!” I don’t care how stupid your question, or how superficial your commentary--as long as you couch it in coherent English I'm inclined to take it seriously.
Besides all that, the forum software itself is great. I've been at some boards that're a real bitch to navigate and post in, but this is just a breeze to use, truly. About the only thing I would change is putting the Announcements section at the top, and making the Quote font a little larger.
Oh yeah ... and we get to cuss here. :P I’m not gonna post solid paragraphs of f-bombs ;) but it’s nice to be able to use the occasional bit of blue vocabulary.
-

And that's the exact trick to keeping that privlidge open for everyone :)
-
About the only thing I would change is putting the Announcements section at the top, and making the Quote font a little larger.
Nathan, what we do with the Announcements section is move it to the top of the board whenever there's an actual announcement being made (which isn't all that often). Then, after a few weeks, we'll drop it back down to the bottom of the board when there's nothing going on. That way, it really draws member's attentions when they see it up at the top, since they're not used to seeing it up there on a regular basis. Otherwise, folks might just ignore it if they see it up there all the time and it rarely ever changes. They might not even notice when there finally is an update. Make sense?
As for the quoted text thought, we'll talk about that and see if that's something we can customize, or not.
Thanks for the comments!

I wish my freaking laptop situation would fix itself so I could get back into the fun.
Although I can't get to C3, I am going to the Bonnaroo Music Festival, is anyone else going that'd like to meet up?

That way, it really draws member's attentions when they see it up at the top, since they're not used to seeing it up there on a regular basis. Otherwise, folks might just ignore it if they see it up there all the time and it rarely ever changes. They might not even notice when there finally is an update. Make sense?
Yeah, that does makes a lot of sense. Thanks for explaining. :)
As for the quoted text thought, we'll talk about that and see if that's something we can customize, or not.
Cool. Sometimes (like now) I manually up the size using the BBC tags, but I'm a lazy sort so it would be nice not to have to do that every time. ;D

I'm a little late to this thread, but I just wanted to add myself to the group of people thanking Chris and all of the moderators/staff of JD for providing us such a great community. I have been involved in a few Star Wars forums over the years, but have never been involved so deeply and been so comfortable at one as I have been here at JD. It is nice to be able to discuss the movies/collectibles that we all enjoy, or anything else that we feel like talking about. It may sound strange, but it feels like we have a nice group of "friends" here, regardless of whether or not we have even met. All of you have done a great job making and keeping this a great community, and avoiding some of the pitfalls that other sites have had problems with. Overall, everyone is very nice, cordial, and helpful to one another, and it is great to be a part of that. Thanks for that everyone. "Mad props" as the kids say ;), keep up the great work.

I'm a little late to this thread...
Indeed you are Brian, as we've long since moved on to the topic of potential bannings with this thread... But thanks for the kind words anyway. JD is lucky to have you here, as one of it's most upstanding members, without a doubt. That said, however...

You know what we should do? We should ban anyone who is from the same place as them, because where ever they are from is most obviously a source of trouble-makers.
:-X

Ah yes, but how do you determine where someone is actually "From"?
I mean, am I "From" Rebelscum? One could argue I registered at TFN long before that and found my way to RS, GH and JD later through that site.
Maybe you ban people based on geographical location. I'm pretty sure no troublemakers are from the Northwest like me, but just in case they are I could always decide that I'm "From" California (cause that's where I grew up).
Remember: The more you drop the banhammer, the more members will slip through your fingers.
-
I think you're absolutely right Jeff, and that's something I'd already been contemplating myself. So let's see here... Since Bob got this all started, and he works at GH, any other GH'ers are officially toast now. LJ's on the list too, so I think that's going to have to wipe out any RS'ers as well. But Jamie though? Hmm... That's a tricky one, 'cause you know what that would mean... :-\

Oh, yeah - let's go GEOGRAPHICALLY too!
Imagine the banned list...
everyone who is from Canada- OUT (thanks to Brent/Bob)
everyone from Tennessee - OUT (Jamie)
etc etc etc
That way we catch all the stragglers who are associated with the banned that might try to sneak under our radar
-
I say we just ban you 2 bonebrains, because obviously the inmates are running the asylum!
And you can't ban Canadians, they're our highest quality members. ;)

Okay, see ya!

Hey, I told you I would make you cookiees and browniees, so I think you need to take me off that list...
unless you want my special recipe browniees... but those would make it awfully hard to stand in line all day at C3, and I'd throw you out of my room if you were a roomiee!
-
Haha! I get it. He'd poop alot. ;D
Laxatives. :P
Kevin

Damn..I was thinking pot bownies.
Did I just date myself?????
-
Damn..I was thinking pot bownies.

Yes, if only because I was thinking the same thing :-X
-
Did I just date myself?????
I dated myself in college on occasion, but that was only between girlfriends. I swear. :-X
-
Palmer twins? :-X
-
I was told you can go blind from that!
My vision is 20/15....so you can draw your own conclusions! ;D

Uh, oh. My vision is 20/600. ;)
-
Yeah, well, I was thinking the same thing, that's why I added the roomiee thing...
but I don't think the other type of brownies would make it past security at the airport....
-
I'm just a newbie at this point, but have enjoyed the opportunity to get involved in a seemingly far more mature and friendly site than the last one that I long lurked at. So thanks to all the staff here form providing me with a new home, even if I only stop by every once and again. Enjoying things so far, and judging by this thread, there's some pretty crazy folks here too. But it only illustrates what a tight knit group you all appear to be, and that's very cool.

I just think it's funny that you pick the page of the thread where everyone is talking about making poop brownies and shaking hands with the one eyed bishop to remark on what a "mature" community this is. ;D
But friendly? Oh yes.
-
I got payback for even mentioning the special browniees...
my son was "sick" today, and I had to stay home w/ him because of that... so, instant karma, huh?
Oh, and I'm thinking I may also make some muffins, because that seems like a smart thing to do even if it's more to bring, and more to cook...

Hey! I got all my cooking stuff tonight, but now I need to know how many of you guys are in the room????

I hope not, because I was thinking the same thing! 8)

I'll need to get a picture of that! Perhaps we'll need to start a "How many JD'ers can you get in a room?" thread? ;)

Dogpile on Brent! :D

Yeah, I'm not buying that one.... I'm making roughly 10 dozen cookies and two batches of brownies to be split amongst my JD and GH mod groups... One of the GH mods this morning told me it may come down to a turf war, so you may want to be prepared... although, secretly, I think you guys could probably kick their butts.... ;)

Should I bring swords for everyone? :-\

Tim (Spirit) suggested to me the other day that a good JD/GH knife-fight may be in order. Lets just make sure we eat the cookies first though... (**ponders events of West Side Story**)

Oh I'm tellin, but oyur probably right. GHers ,unfortunately, are not the most manly of men the all stand aobut ankle high to me. ;)
-
Can we be the Sharks? It's only fitting since we have that cool shark thread!
They can be the Jets.
Kevin
-
Cool. So I take it that Shannon's gonna be Maria then, right?
GHers...all stand aobut ankle high to me. ;)
Ain't Tim around 6'3" or something like that? We could've put him up against Scott if he wasn't being a pansy ass flake with C3. That's assuming he stays out of the local fountains long enough...
-
Thanks to everyone that makes place so great! :) I've really enjoyed my time here so far and it has been a lot better than RS ever was. I look forward to a long stay here, or as long as you'll have me ;) Keep up the great work around here!!
Oh and even though I don't really know many of you mods/admin I think you guys could take the GH or RS guys I mean come on look at this little wuss ;)
(http://www.jedidefender.com/spearson/GNT.jpg)
I got your backs if you need me too ;) I'm like 6'4" 265. :)
-
I think we'll go with "wuss" there instead, SLC. :-X
And we're totally kidding about our pals from GH. We're completely cool with all of them, and are greatly looking forward to hanging with their crew out there. So no more "we're tougher than them" silliness, 'cause it ain't gonna happen - unless Tim and I just get way too plastered, and decide to throw down in a fountain... :P
But some of the RS staff, well, that's a different story. ;)
But I'm quite sure that Greg(g) won't be making an appearance, so the fact that pretty much anyone could whip him good is completely irrelevant. :P

OK. Fine. We'll kick all your asses then, if that's what you really want. Just wait 'til we've pounded several hours worth of Guinness first though. :P
But you're not going to Indy this week, are you Gary?

-
Nah, no real fights... I'm going to evenly distribute the snacks... There should be plenty to go around, but if there isn't, then the fights may start...
GH will probably have the cooler t-shirts though... designed by Apok, himself... I wasn't offered a shirt from here though, so I can't say what the JD shirts may look like...
-
We have shirts?
Son of a bitch. >:(
-
Didn't you get yours Jesse? Mine says Rebelscum sucks ass. Really.
-
We have shirts?
Son of a bitch. >:(
You have a shirt, THE shirt that makes you part of the coolest of all the fansites! ;D
Though I could think of a good shirt to make, it would have the saying...
"It's not WISE to upset a Wookie" :P

Oh and JD mods, be careful, GH'ers got some big guys on their side, Apok and Infamy!! You guys got Morgbug!!!! :P

Well if any help is needed I stand in at five foot 7 inches with 164 lbs of hulking mass to quiet down the fiercest of any challengers :)
Yeah.
