Set in a dark basement, the only source of light is the illuminated hue of three flatscreen monitors. One displays an internet forum, the other a computer game, the third some grainy science fiction film. The floor is littered with dirty laundry and discarded soda cans. ENTER NOU'S AUNT. She is an older, respectable woman who has exerted and spent much of her youth and beauty caring for Nou.
"Nou, dear...could we talk?"
"Pizza rolls ready?"
"No, dear. Not yet."
"Then I don't see much to talk about."
"It's about your current lifestyle, honey."
"Pretty in' sweet, huh?"
"..."
"Since you're already down here could you refill this glass? The ratio is 30% Coke, 5% Sprite, 15% Cactus Cooler, 25% Dr. Pepper, and 25% Sunny D. Don't it up again."
"Oh, right dearie..."
"Thanks."
"Is that your um, crafting game?"
"Huh? Oh, yeah. One of them. This is Minecraft."
"The other ones looked prettier, dear."
"Starcraft and Warcraft get old after a while."
"Yes...that does happen, dear."
"..."
"..."
"Do you need the ratio again?"
"No, dear. I came down to talk to you about your life."
"It's OK. I'm just trollin'."
"..."

I haven't live at my aunts for over a month now. :p I moved back home since the Land Warfare Conference is in 2 weeks and we are in full work mode cycle. Plus my aunt went crazy (again) and thought I was depressed because I didn't eat dinner one night. :p |

I don't know if you're always trolling him, Nou, but it ends up making him look good (rather than the other way around) :conf:

If only these were available in Brazil, I'd definitely try this to see what it tastes like :p |

I don't know about that; I thought the ironic name was strangely appropriate for what was a fairly schizophrenic affair. The most appropriate sign that I saw there read simply: "God hates signs." |

Yes, but he continues to engage me over and over and over again like its a serious debate. Its like shooting fish in a barrel... Its just too damn tempting, even if I come away looking like an idiot to everyone else, I get some lulz, and thats all that matters is if I am laughing or not! :D |

Oh, well, if you get a kick out of it, who am I to criticise? :p |

Thinking about it, I'd probably like to see politics get a bit more emotionalized in Germany. The government is doing one -up after the other and nobody cares. I want France-style riots and huge demonstrations, I want a right-wing populist who makes all those socialists butthurt, I want US-style rallys and media causing fear and disinformation.
It sounds better than the watered down pile of and ignorance we have right now. :mad: |

yeah, I'd take Hitler over Merkel anytime. It would be nice if he reconsidered that war thing, though. :o Oh, if he weren't Australian Austrian. |

dont worry, you can idolize the US in a few years when Kevin and his brown shirts (the tea party) get their way.
Except they'd be so uncreative as to probably put a tea kettle on their flag and dress like 18th century new englanders... |

What's better... 10 +/- political parties like you have in England where the winner represents 23% of the voters? lol. |
So your president at any time is elected by 50% or more of your population? You might want to rethink that point there champ.
