17.07.02 - It cant go ignored anymore!!!! - Elfstomper

Ok, mabey its just that ive been ranting and raving about it about for a year now, but i just cant keep this to myself anymore!!!! GO TO THREEBRAIN.COM NOW!!!!!!!!!! Ahh there, I said it. It is the most gut-wrenchingly funny site on the entire internet. In addition to their famous Weeeee , hypotermia and schoolbus videos, they have just added an alphabet song that will go down in history as being the most imaginive kids educational song ever, and the new koko the talking monkey video with 3 diffrent content lines depending on how old you are. No im serious , there are diffrences!!!! And the icing on the cake is the new store section. In addition to the 2 shirts they always sold, there is about 120 new items!!! the stuff is sick and kickass at the same time. Im telling you , the creaters of that site need a tv show! if they had one all i would ever watch would be their show, south park and sealab 2021 ( i never pay attention to the numbers after sealab, but i think thats it hehehe) . In short GO TO THREEBRAIN.COM!!!!!!!!!! what are you waiting for!! GO! Ohhh and by the way , if you gonna buy a shirt from threebrain, let me know first so we dont all look alike in the mall . nothing worse the a bunch of 21 year old mall freaks that look alike, am i right? .....yeah i know , the mall is for children of mini-van toters.... im sorry.... ---elf

14.07.02 - the return! - reptillikus

So in case some of you havent figured it out yet, we're back! i dont have the time to tell you about that much yet, but lemme tell ya, it kicked ass, and the only bad thing about it is the fact that its over and were back. Lotsa cool stories to tell, and lots great pics to share. Im gonna try to set up the pics as soon as i get them, unlike previous years when it took me forever to do it. Anyway, back to Warcraft III!

05.07.02 - The excursion begins anew! - reptillikus

Yes! It is that time again. Time for all of us to go on our traditional expedition into the wilderness! bryan, kortam, dan, elfstomper, ratslayr amd myself will all be attending, along with a couple female-types. ...So dont be surprised if its a little quiet around here (at least, more quiet than usual). As for last weekend- Friday i ended up haing out with a couple friends, and not getting home until 430 that morning. Probably not a good idea, especially when your plan for the next day is.... Paintball! we couldnt have picked a better day for this. Me, kortam, elfstomper, ratslayr and dorkanon all went, as well as seven others, but unfortunately about 11 (!) people cancelled, which left us at our small number of 10, as opposed to somewhere around 24, which is how many people were originally supposed to go. Even ed cancelled, the bastard. i still say he couldve played in that cast. running is over-rated, anyway. This time around we managed to get in 14 games, as opposed to the 8 or so that we got in last time due to lousy reff-ing. It was a hot day, but not like 90 like it was all this past week, and the humidity from the previous week disappeared the night before, so we had perfect weather. ....to play in shorts and a tshirt. No camo for me, thanks. I think i set the record for # of head shots received during the course of one game. On the upside, the helmet takes all the force out of em, and it keeps the clothes clean, too! The only quirk i had about the day was shortly after we had come back from wawa with lunch. I was doing something, and came back to the truck to hear a whirring sound. Turned out the fuel pump on the frame rail was running, despite the fact that the keys were in my hand and the truck was off and locked up. Well, i couldnt get it to turn off, so i ended up disconnecting the battery for the rest of the day. Later on, when we were getting ready to go, i reconnected the battery, and it was fine! (and it hasnt done it since) Go figure. Sunday was spent down in the nice side of lakewood, assisting an ex-co-worker install a 3" body lift on his 2001 dodge dakota. Took us about eight hours to do, but we didnt hit any major snags, and the install went pretty smoothly. We even did the gap guards and the bumper relocation brackets, which left the truck looking almost as if we never modified it at all! It looks good, and i cant wait to see the pics of it on top of its new 33" goodyear MTR's. they should come at this height straight from the factory. It just looks good. ...And we all spent this week preparing and packing for our journey, while all-too anxiously awaiting our 7-day trip that begins in about 7 hours... god i cant wait! campiiiiiiing!!!!!!!!!!!

25.06.02 - Land of the Free? not for the kids! --Elf's opinion - Elfstomper

Taken from the GameSpy network->:According to a Fox News article, California's Representative Joe Baca is fighting to prevent minors from purchasing software entertainment titles with "Mature" and "Adults Only" ratings. The proposed bill, H. R. 4645, especially targets games depicting "murder, rape, prostitution, illegal drug use, carjackings, assault, decapitation and dismemberment." Retailers failing to enforce the legislation could be fined up to $5,000.: Im usually one against censorship in any form , but i can go either way on this issue. Another legislation passed down from our government isn't going to change the way we live. As the days progress , parenting is becoming less and less effective as parents these days are nothing more then flopped out media junkies. There are a few good ones left out there, but their mission to hide they're children's virgin eyes from anything considered morally wrong in society is nothing more then a lost cause. The children cannot remain strangers to the world as it really is when all the other children from care-less families are around to influence them. So in short, pass your legislation you almighty government, its not going to do a damn thing. Your bill should instead fine the parents $5000 as a penaly for being stupid and letting their kids play the games if their kids are arrested for any reason. Now what we need is a law that restricts kids and the parents of the kids that are arrested for rape, murder, carjacking or armed violence from exposere to any type of media for a minimum of five years That would sove everyones problems and leave my videogames alone. Someone vote me for Senete! -ELF

24.06.02 - too much to say, not enough to type - reptillikus

The camping trip looms ever nearer, and so do other important things. like PAINTBALL! Yes, we're playing again! This saturday. Then sunday im assisting in installing a body lift on my buddy dave's dodge dakota. I also have a shitload of cash to come up with for Kodiak Customs, cause i still owe them for my 4" lift thats hanging on their wall on dispaly, plus i need to regear my front axle (since i had to do the rear axle) so that ill actually be able to use 4wd again! In other news, i added a new graphic to the homegrown section earlier today, some of you have seen it already, but i finally got around to uploading it today. there is an alternate version of it in the the works, but its not done yet. Also, last week i finished the camping2k1 section and uploaded it, so if youre interested, you can check it out over in the visual section.

20.06.02 - Ahh summer... - Ratslayr

OK, so as we all know, summer is upon us. But what have we actually accomplished?. Well, for some of us, college let out in may. For me, it was may 13th to be exact. We will fast forward in time a bit to june 13th. Well, me and elf were sitting around one day and thought about something. "elf", i said. "did you realize we have been out for a month now? What did we do?". Elf replied, "um... ..... ..... Hey bob, want to mule in diablo?". So that was when it dawned on me. I did jack shit this summer. And im not even kidding. Besides the visits to my girlfriends house in south jersey, i did NOTHING. So that night me, elf, kortam, reptillikus, bryan the tool, and AL went to the driving range. I figured this was a good start. We also went to seaside that night, but mr. Bryan went home to sleep. Too much coffee for that one i tell ya. Anyway, That was about all we did. And now, a week or so later, Im still doing nothing. Well i guess its not an entire waste. I work alot, and make the dough. Today i installed my new car sterio speakers, [which took 5 hours and the removal of my rear seats and the sacrifice of a 5 gallon bucket] but that was constructive i suppose. So anyway, i sit here now and still contemplate the boredom of summer. I suppose it was irony that i found a shirt at my grandfathers house that says "been nowhere, done nothing". But i suppose anything is better than doing college homework and studying. Ill take my boredom any day.. And maybe some taco bell... MMMM TACO BELL

20.06.02 - AC ownz us (again) - Elfstomper

It was a resilliant day. The sun was out, the air was clean the birds were cheerfully pooping on cars. It seemed the excellent day for a young man looking for his way in the world to take what he had and try to turn it into more. (Well apparently when posting , you cant push Tab and then enter when posting, with that aside the story continues). With trusty compainons Kortam and Jenny Bubbles we set out to the glorious glow of Ac. I left with nothing and came back with half of what i left with ! In the quest for money i learned that slots are for old ladys with nothing to do. Do you win.. No you loose quarters and the callories it takes to pull the lever. Roulette! hell yeah , now theres my payload, i did well in roulette, but then lost it with kortams invitation to black jack. I did well on the small bets, but then got cocky , started betting $25 a hand, and then befor you know it, IT WAS GONE!!! MY NOTHING WAS GONE!! Indeed GAMBLOR had enslaved me , and kortam who was prone to keep his earnings to a negative and Jenny Bubbles who came with minimal nothing and was reduced to groveling to the ATM. Although We all lost out, AC had lasting effects. I won the battle, but hanst won the war. It hasen't seen the last of us 3. Next time i accumulate more nothing , Im coming for you AC! and theres nothing you can do about it!!!!!

13.06.02 - birthday bliss? - Bryan

yes it is true, i have embarked upon the years of the nineteen. i feel taller. and i think my facial hair is growing back faster. more and more i hear my girlfriend yelling at me to shave. and my "wayne static super long chin hair thingy" (tm) is getting long. almost enough to tie the bottom. almost. but yeah, lets skip the chit chat and get straight to the loot: Cabela's 4x4 Off-Road Adventure - computer. kicks major ass, anyone who has a lifted truck will appreciate this game. veeeeery customizable trucks. lift size, tire inflation, gear ratios, etc... Simpsons Cardboard cutouts! goin on my dashboard! Sonic Adventure Battle 2 - game cube. kicks major ass you can hook your gamecube and gameboy advance together and trade stuff from sonic adventure battle 2 ...and... Sonic Advance - gameboy advance. haven't played it yet. but you can trade "chao" (sega pokemon) from the gba to the gc. hardcore. DvD Mayhem: Lock, Stock, And two smoking barrels - haven't watched it yet, but i've seen it before Snatch - haven't watched it yet, but i've seen it before. Fast & The Furious - kicks ass. still. even after the main character does a public service anouncement about Not Speeding, and the fact that my driver liscense is on probation, i was still filled with the urge to buy a ford probe and fill it full of rice and take it down to the race trasck and win peoples pink slips to their cars and start fights with the local yakuza. but in the long run, i jumped in my chevy and drove fast around the neighborhood. Fat Wreck Chords: Peepshow. includes peepshow 1 and 2 (released on vhs) and a few new videos unreleased. kicked arse matey and 80 freakinb bucks! wooo hooo! so i went out and bought some plastic models: saw a Ford Bronco so i bought it for reptillikus, saw a lifted Chevy pick-up, so i bought it for Kortam. and i bought myself a 77 Ford Courier pick-up. but here's the cool part: kortams chevy came with a lift and cool tires, reptillikus anbd i didn't receive lifts and things like that, so i bought us each a big-foot. so we can make our own lift with huge ass bigfoot tires. and i was thinking about buying a mustang or something, and taking the engine and dual exhaust out of it and putting it on my pickup. but yeah, i can't think of anything else. i got cool shit. and lots of stuff to play with.

11.06.02 - #1 reason to NOT live in NJ - reptillikus

so im driving down the road past my neighborly truck shop (Kodiak Customs), and i notice a couple state troopers parked outside their lot. Apparently a truck burned during the night! So when i got out of work i decided to stop over. To make a seemlingly long story shorter to type, it goes like this: some kid was going there in his shiny new 2002 Dodge when he gets rearended by some guy named "Jim". Truck goes off into ditch into trees, and kids truck gets towed across the street (!) into kodiak's lot. The kid gets blmaed when they find pot in his truck. So they try to work out to pay for jim's truck's cause he cant pay for it all at once. Apparently this wasnt good enough for good old jim, though. Seems he decided to get back at the kid, so we went back to the shop around 4-5am, broke the rear window, dumped in a shitload of gas, and torched the truck!!!! the shiny new dodge 2002 with almost 800 mmiles on it! The heat from it also burned the trucks on either side of it, which included a chevy that [i]just[/i] had a lift kit and tires put on the day before! Unfortunately, theres not much proof that he actually did it, except for the fact that he kept on driving back and forth past the shop observing the troopers and the carnage! And of course chuck (owner, kodiak) is responsible for the other two trucks, seeing as they were on his lot, and he had the keys in his shop. Both trucks need new tires and paint jobs, as well as misc other parts under the hood. The dodge was burned completely to a crisp! And i live down the road from this nut!!!! So youve all been warned!!

07.06.02 - the lake - Bryan

so its saturday morning, and im woken up by the pitter patter of little feet. Well, not little, but they were small. Kinda small, anyway. Smaller than mine. yeah. So anyway, its like eight in the morning, so dawn decided that it would be a good idea to wake me up and look for kevin so they could go to the beach. Fortunately for me i was already going to get up(but not that early!) and go fishing with matt. also fortunate for me, matt doesn't pay for gas, that meant that i didnt have to drive there! So off we go, to Assunpink Lake. Shockingly enough, theres actually parking spaces! but all the way around back! Oh well. So i grumble, and off we go! We found a nice little spot, no one close, but no where near the car. After about ten or so minutes, we break out the soda and chips. As soon as we get situated with our fishing poles, the worms start floating away in the river. Dammit! Oh well, i grab my big treble hook, and anchor them down. back to the lake front. So after about another hour (at most) I head over to the 'sewer drain' and head towards the deap spot. Well, let me tell you! Holy shit was the water full of fish. More than a drunk guys cooler pool in trout season. Hell, more than a frozen fiash section in Acme! The water was sooo full of fish it actually gave me a hard on! No, really, it was that full. It sent shivers up my wang like nothing ive ever felt before. talk about hard! It felt like my wang went from cold pool size to hot jaccuzi size in under a second! aarrgghh! Imagine making a 50lb boner out of your wang, and attaching fishing line to it, casting it out, and fishing with it. Yeah, it was like that. So, anyway........ There was this lovely pair of 'largemouth bass types' that moved in near me after a few . Talk about your nice sized bass. God they had the longest black stripe i have ever fuckign heard. And they surrounded themselves in sunnies so it wouldn't take the spinner bait that reflected sunlight better than (pauls wanna-be-polished head) a car that came out of a dealer that same day. it was fucking gross man. Fish aint supposed to trick you like that! And then there were these two dudes with thick beer guts protruding out past their waistlines. I felt sorry for the guy trying to find out if there were bass, or trout, or whatever the fuck fish that he wanted, but i do know this: it had to be "green". And he wanted it in a "living" state. whatever As soon as we leave, we get out onto rt33, and hit a red light. Big deal, right? It turned green and we kept going! Oh my fucking god did i have to pee for a long time on the way home! And to make matters worse, im sitting in matts car, which has an uncomfortable interior in the front seat, cause the car is so low, there is no leg space to stretch out.......with a small bucket containing a small living bass sitting between my feet. no foot room to the left, despite the fact that theres NONE in the right side either. so matts telling me to continue eyeing the bucket the whole time we're sitting there. grr. i hate baby bass.

06.06.02 - insert shameless bragging here - reptillikus

the beast is back! after a little over two weeks of 'suffering', the truck returns! And with a vengeance, too! Woo, lemme tell ya, 4.10's are the way to go! The truck eats up the road now! Its fucking great! Fucking-A man, i never want to drive a truck with 3.08's again! EVER! and the tranny shifts better, to boot! Unfortunately, i forgot about one minor thing.....the speedo! the speedo is affected by ring & pinion gear ratios. Believe me. I was coming home after picking it up, and was like, 'theres no way im going 50!'. Well, i wasnt. It was more like 35!!! Its about 15mph out at 65. i made this little chart based off of rpm for me for when im 'out and about', so i know how fast im going,. Saturday im gonna have to go to ford to get some parts to fix it. Oh well. Its a cheap fix But its back, and it runs better than ever! ah hahahahahahaha boo-yah granny. boo-yah

02.06.02 - the beach - reptillikus

so its saturday morning, and im woken up by the pitter patter of little feet. Well, not little, but they were small. Kinda small, anyway. Smaller than mine. yeah. So anyway, its like nine million degrees out, so dawn decided that we were going to go to the beach. Fortunately for me my truck is in the shop, cause that meant that i didnt have to drive there! So off we go, to pt. pleasant. Shockingly enough, theres actually parking spaces! but at ten bucks! Oh well. So i pay, and off we go! We found a nice little spot, no one close, and near the ocean. After about ten or so minutes, we head down to the water. As soon as we get close enough for the waves to hit our feet, some bitch-ass tells us we cant go in here, and we have to go off to the right if we want. Dammit! Oh well, back to the beach blanket. So after about another hour (at most) we head over to the 'designated approved water area' and head towards the sea. Well, let me tell you! Holy shit was the water cold. Colder than apool in april. Hell, colder than a frozen pool in january! The water was sooo cold it actually hurt to be touced by it! No, really, it was that cold. It sent shivers up my spine like nothing ive ever felt before. talk about pain! It felt like my feet went from sunny 90° weather to below freezing in under a second! aarrgghh! Imagine making a 50lb hammer out of solid ice, and smashing it on your bare exposed feet. Yeah, it was like that. So, anyway........ There was this lovely pair of 'female types' that moved in near us after a few hours. Talk about your typical manalapan chick. God they said the stupidest fuckign shit i have ever fuckign heard. And they covered themsleves in so much fucking oil that they reflected sunlight better than (pauls wanna-be-polished head) a car that came out of a dealer that same day. it was fucking gross man. Skin aint supposed to blind you like that! And then there was this lady with some thick accent protruding out past her broken english. I felt sorry for the girl trying to get her some ice cream, or icees, or whatever the fuck it it was that she wanted, but i do know this: it had to be "Vanilia". And she wanted it in a "wafleh" cone. whatever. As soon as we leave, we get out oto rt35, and hit a red light. Big deal, right? Except for the fact that this light is on a bridge! Oh my fucking god does it take a long time for this bridge to open! And to make matters worse, im sitting in dawns truck, which has a temporary in the front window, cause the rears are so tinted you cant read it through them.......with a cop about two spacecs behind me to the left, despite the fact that theres NO ONE in that lane, so hes obviously eyeing me the whole time we're sitting there. grr. i hate cops.

31.05.02 - lotsa shite - reptillikus

Im watching Comedy Central right now, and theyre doing one of those 'C.C. Presents' things. Tom Rhodes is on. This guy is actually funny as hell, it s a shame you aint watchin it. oh well!\ The van is now officially for sale! So buy it now! (Or convince my parents not to sell it!) Check out the van here. In other news, Audio Galaxy is under attack! The record industry is trying to sue the pants off of them for 'copyright infringement'. Fucking bastards! I actually like AG, so it figures theyd try to get rid of it. I also seemed to have fixed the odd quirk that is the front page. I still dont know what the fuck happened, but thanks goes to mike for getting into his temp folders and rescuing a bunch of old posts for me! I moved them all into the archives section so it wont happen again, and they can be found here
