Happy birthday, Ziggy!

Quote from danthebangerboy :

In 1932 adolf hitler designed a car for volkswagen, in 1938 it was launched and called the Kraft durch Freude. That car was what we now know as a volkswagen beetle.

Didn´t Ferdinand Porsche design the Beetle on Hitler´s orders? I doubt Hitler was much of an engineer to do it himself.

You see me mowin' my front lawn
I know they're all thinkin' I'm so
White and nerdy

Think I'm just too white and nerdy
Think I'm just too white and nerdy
Can't you see I'm white and nerdy
Look at me I'm white and nerdy

I wanna roll with the gangstas
But so far they all think I'm too
White and nerdy

Think I'm just too white and nerdy
Think I'm just too white and nerdy
I'm just too white and nerdy
Really, really white and nerdy

First in my class here at MIT
Got skills, I'm a champion at D&D
M.C. Escher, that's my favorite M.C.
Keep you're 40, I'll just have an Earl Grey tea
My rims never spin, to the contrary
You'll find that they're quite stationary
All of my action figures are cherry
Stephen Hawking's in my library

My MySpace page is all totally pimped out
Got people beggin' for my top eight spaces
Yo, I know pi to a thousand places
Ain't got no grills but I still wear braces
I order all of my sandwiches with mayonnaise
I'm a wiz at Minesweeper, I could play for days
Once you've see my sweet moves, you're gonna stay amazed
My fingers movin' so fast I'll set the place ablaze

There's no killer app I haven't run (run)
At Pascal, well I'm number one (one)
Do vector calculus just for fun
I ain't got a gat, but I got a soldering gun (what?)
Happy Days is my favorite theme song
I could sure kick your butt in a game of ping pong
I'll ace any trivia quiz you bring on
I'm fluent in JavaScript as well as Klingon

Here's the part I sing on...

You see me roll on my Segway
I know in my heart they think I'm
White and nerdy

Think I'm just too white and nerdy
Think I'm just too white and nerdy
Can't you see I'm white and nerdy
Look at me I'm white and nerdy

I'd like to roll with the gangstas
Although it's apparent I'm too
White and nerdy

Think I'm just too white and nerdy
Think I'm just too white and nerdy
I'm just too white and nerdy
How'd I get so white and nerdy

I been browsin', inspectin' X-Men comics
You know I collect 'em
The pens in my pocket, I must protect them
My ergonomic keyboard never leaves me bored
Shoppin' online for deals on some writable media
I edit Wikipedia
I memorized Holy Grail really well
I can recite it right now and have you R-O-T-F-L-O-L

I got a business doing websites (websites)
When my friends need some code, who do they call?
I do HTML for 'em all
Even made a homepage for my dog, yo
I got myself a fanny pack
They were havin' a sale down at The Gap
Spend my nights with a role of bubble wrap
Pop, pop - hope no one sees me gettin' freaky

I'm nerdy in the extreme
Whiter than sour cream
I was in AV club and glee club
And even the chess team
Only question I ever thought was hard
Was "Do I like Kirk or do I like Picard?"
Spend every weekend at the Renaissance Faire
Got my name on my underwear

They see me strollin', they're laughin'
And rollin' their eyes cause I'm so
White and nerdy

Just because I'm white and nerdy
Just because I'm white and nerdy
All because I'm white and nerdy
Holy cow, I'm white and nerdy

I wanna bowl with the gangstas
But oh well, it's obvious I'm
White and nerdy

Think I'm just too white and nerdy
Think I'm just too white and nerdy
I'm just too white and nerdy
Look at me I'm white and nerdy
------------------------------------

As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain
I take a look at my wife and realize shes very plain
But thats just perfect for an amish like me
You know I shun fancy things like electricity
At 4:30 in the morning Im milkin cows
Jebediah feeds the chickens and jacob plows... fool
And Ive been milkin and plowin so long that
Even ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone
Im a man of the land, Im into discipline
Got a Bible in my hand and a beard on my chin
But if I finish all of my chores and you finish thine
Then tonight were gonna party like its 1699

We been spending most our lives
Living in an amish paradise
Ive churned butter once or twice
Living in an amish paradise
Its hard work and sacrifice
Living in an amish paradise
We sell quilts at a discount price
Living in an amish paradise

A local boy kicked me in the butt last week
I just smiled at him and I turned the other cheek
I really dont care, in fact I wish him well
cause Ill be laughing my head off when hes burning in hell
But I aint never punched a tourist even if he deserved it
An amish with a tude?
You know thats unheard of
I never wear buttons but I got a cool hat
And my homies agree
I really look good in black... fool
If you come to visit, youll be bored to tears
We havent even paid the phone bill in 300 years
But we aint really quaint, so please dont point and stare
Were just technologically impaired

Theres no phone, no lights, no motorcar
Not a single luxury
Like robinson caruso
Its as primitive as can be

We been spending most our lives
Living in an amish paradise
Were just plain and simple guys
Living in an amish paradise
Theres no time for sin and vice
Living in an amish paradise
We dont fight, we all play nice
Living in an amish paradise

Hitchin up the buggy, churnin lots of butter
Raised a barn on monday, soon Ill raise anutter
Think youre really righteous?
Think youre pure in heart?
Well, I know Im a million time as humble as thou art
Im the pious guy the little amlettes wanna be like
On my knees day and night scorin points for the afterlife
So dont be vain and dont be whiny
Or else, my brother, I might have to get medieval on your heinie

We been spending most our lives
Living in an amish paradise
Were all crazy mennonites
Living in an amish paradise
Theres no cops or traffic lights
Living in an amish paradise
But youd probably think it bites
Living in an amish paradise

Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-yecch!

Hey, everyone, listen up, your attention if you please
We wanna give you a warning
'Cause I found out this morning
About a dangerous, insidious computer virus
If you should get it, an email with the subject, 'stinky cheese'
Better off protecting your chances
Under no circumstances, should you open it
Or else it will

Translate your documents into Swahili
Make your TV record "Gigli"
Neuter your pets, and give you laundry static cling
Look out!
It's gonna make your computer screen freeze

Erase the Easter eggs off your DVDs
Look out!
Erase your hard drive and your backups too
And the hard drive of anyone related to you

Soon, very soon, it will make all the paint peel off your walls
It'll make your keyboard all sticky
Give your poodle a hickey
And invest your cash in stock in Euro Disney
Then, it will tie up your phone, making prank long-distance calls
It'll set your clocks back an hour and start clogging the shower
So just trash it now, or else it will

Decide to give you a permanent wedgie,
Legally change your name to Reggie,
Even mess up the pH balance in your pool

Look out!
It's gonna melt your face right off your skull
Look out!
And make your iPod only play Jethro Tull
Look out!
And tell you knock-knock jokes while you're trying to sleep
Look out!
And make you physically attracted to sheep
Look out!
Steal your identity and your credit card
Look out!
Buy you a warehouse full of pink leotards
Look out!
Then cause a major rift in time and space
And leave a bunch of Twinkie wrappers all over the place
That's right it's a

So before it emails your grandmother all of your porn

Drop it in a forty-three-foot hole in the ground
Bury it completely; rocks and boulders should be fine
Then burn all the clothes you may have worn any time you were alive!

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

And most likely, there'll be a 3rd time.

And according to Shotglass theory that will be a new world record.

Why does a team in a computer game need a leader anyway? If you don´t get along enough to make decisions together then where´s the fun in that.

Quote from xaotik :

That's a good question really - I thought you guys were against nuclear energy...?

They are. I think the cooling towers are there because lately inside the EU, Austria has only stood out by their "anti-nuclear" campaign. I remember them heavily critizing, I think Slovakia and Bulgaria, for wanting to fire up their nuclear plants when Russia turned off the gas. Do they expect the people there to sit in the dark and quietly freeze to death?

UK is missing because it´s about stereotypes and also about EU. And UK seems to be the one that doesn´t really want to be a part of the EU.

Could someone explain the Dutch one to me? I get the flooding but what´s up with the minarets. I didn´t know they had lots of Muslims there?

http://www.reuters.com/news/video?videoId=97049
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7827738.stm

So what do you guys think about the new art work in Brussels. It depicts EU countries by stereotypes. Some people have found it offensive. What do you think about it overall and the representation of your country?

Some of them are pretty interesting. Poland has Catholic priests erecting a rainbow flag. Bulgaria is a Turkish toilet. Germany is a Autobahn juncton shaped in a certain kind of way. Finland is covered with a saunafloor and has a drunk hunter living on it. On France there´s a slogan which translated means strike. Italy has a bunch of footballers holding a ball near their crotch for some reason. UK is missing representing it´s Euro-scepticism. And so on...

Estonia has a hammer and a sickle on it. It probably depicts the Soviet Union past and the fact that some politicians have backgrounds in the communist party. It´s over the top and it applies to almost all of the former Eastern Bloc countries so it´s odd that Estonia was chosen for it but it´s kind of true so no reason to make a big deal out of it.

Overall I don´t really know what to think of it actualy. I can see why some people would be annoyed but I don´t really mind.

I just watched "Atonement". It´s basically a tragic love story with a bit of a twist in the end. I quite liked it and it has Keira Knightley in it. Always a plus.

Maybe someone or even me suggested "The Others" already. It´s not new (2001) but I thought I´d mention it anyway. In my opinion it´s Nicole Kidman´s best movie. And it´s a movie I found really creepy, not any of that slasher nonsense that has been sold as "horror". It develops quite slow in the beginning but stick with it. The end is good.

Quote from blackbird04217 :

Give them time when they need it, and people should show support and give the developers reasons to continue rather than nagging about how long it is between patches and how little gets done, a lot goes on behind the scenes - they just need support.

To be honest a little nagging couldn´t hurt them. Especially since the majority of people here seem to worship the ground they walk on. I don´t know what´s going on behind the scene and frankly I don´t care about that. I care about actual results. And there hasn´t been going on much lately. That would be ok if it wasn´t for the fact that LFS has always been sold with a promise for a lot more content "soon" and that simply hasn´t happened.

Quote from PLAYLIFE :

I doubt it.

It seems to me the devs have lost an active interest in developing the game. I mean compare what kind of development went on 1.5 years ago and what has happened during the last 1.5 years.

I too have lost active interest as a result. Haven't played the game for at least a year.

What this man said.

At a recent U2 concert in Glasgow, Scotland, Bono asked the audience for total silence.
Then, in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands, once every few seconds. Holding the audience in total silence, he said into the microphone, “Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies.”
From the front of the crowd a voice with a broad Scottish accent pierced the quiet …
“Well, f***in' stop doin it then, ya evil bastard!”

Wow.

So show us some Estonian punk bands.

Ok, most of the popular Estonian punk bands started at late 80´s as protest against Soviet Union and have anarchist ideology.

Die Ärzte.

That´s the first time I agree with you. ENEMY!!!

Today I bought some sort of fast food risotto, orange juice, a Twix chocolate bar and some ciggies. Rock and Roll!!!

I find it hard to believe that for so many people the last purchase they made is some expensive computer or other gimmick. Don´t you people eat?

That "polished" is just plain grey. I think black wheels are the way to go with almost any skin.

Quote from th84 :

I think the real question is did you 'cook' your bacon?

Ofcourse he did. Everyone cooks bacon!

Th means that you applied to join [noobs]. But we didn´t take you and so you became suddenly hostile towards us. But with nooby behaviour, we might reconsider. Keep at it!

That´s a very[nooby]thread, Kev. Well done! There might be hope for you yet...

Quote from So_VipeR_oS :

Tis funny this, if a game devoloper releases something with bugs in it, then people complain that they should of waited and fixed it..now when something was DUE to be released but has found bugs and has now started fixing it, some people still complain.

Looks like they feel the same way you do, so they´ve resorted to not releasing anything for months and months at a time.
