:D
-
Uh-oh, somebody pissed off Kazan. Look out everybody! ;7
-

Err, who was he again? The wierd Spanish guy with the windmill? Thats about all I remember of the story.

:lol:

I think the implication is that you "tilt at windmills", Kaz. I have to say, its damned accurate. :lol:
-
that implication doesn't make sense to me
-
It basically amounts to you trying to take down a solid concrete wall with an arsenal of cotton puffs at your disposale. The implication is that you are just beating your head against an impenetrable wall called "other people". Seems fairly accurate to me, though the connotation is a bit distant.
-
You've been going on weird tangents lately, like the smoking one. Let's just say it's a very Quixotic topic to bring up at a web board.
-
out of the blue anyway
"Quixotic " I have _GOT_ to remember that word
-
It's great, isn't it? It really is a good term. I've seen a lot of heated debates like that on various forums and their success rate in converting people to different viewpoints is very, very low.
-
I seem to remember it featuring in War of Honor, quite a bit.
*glares at Shrike*
-
I'm still an lowly Apollo. Don't complain :p

Eh? What are you glaring as me for? I haven't read War of Honor and I probably never will.

Fits your username, too.

I could have sworn it wore off to Myrmadon after 10 posts. Looks like you've got a custom title after all :p
-
Indeed. What are you people, some kind of title Nazis. I'm a lowly Fenris. A Fenris, damnit, not even a Leviathan. Though I must admit, that title is a bit more respectful now, due to KARMA's excellent effort to bring honour back to the proud Fenris heritage.
Hear my might rage, below forth from the depths of Hell itself..
Bwaaaahhh.
edit:
:mad2: :mad2:
And two evil smilies for you Shrike. Two, when one will simply not suffice. Oh, I am merciless indeed.

Well, seen as you were the one who brought up the word 'quixotic', it'd only really make sense to glare at you.
*glares at UT senselessly*
See?

Are not ;)
EDIT: we actually have a couple more Sobek's around it would seem. Woolie Wool being one of them :doubt:
-
*puts on sunglasses*
Glare away.
-
*glares at Shrike some more*
There's nothing after 'Colossus', right?
-
There's three more, currently.
-
Says the only person to have actually attained the coveted "Colossus" title. The idea is by that time you should have earned a custom title of some sort. Too bad for the whole database screw-up thing and the partial resetting of titles, huh.
EDIT: There's more? Shrike, why'd you tell him? (As I await Anon's attempts to spam over 10k)
-
No, no, no. I don't have a title because I've had the "Insidious lil' *****" and "Shrike's lil *****" ones with a pink glow, but then I got perma-banned.
I'm happy staying as a default.
-
Actually the next one is at 9k.
-
Mwuahaha.
Now, what was the forumid of Alternate Paths.......
-
i liked my old one better.. guess im going to have to make another memorable comment and get one i like
-
Or we could all just agree to call you 'Sad Sack' and hope for the best.
-
I recommend "Knows he's right" for you Kaz, but who listens to me, eh?
-

That's not cool. Don Quixote's cool.

And he wore a bowl on his head. Can't forget that.
-
But he was Dutch, wasn't he? I'm just guessing because of all the windmills.
-
How very approporiate. Hmm, I'm starting to like this more and more.

With a name like Don Quixote? Spanish!
-
ROFL! :lol:
Come now An0n, you really should read the classics :rolleyes:
-
i haven't even read it -- don't have time
-
The only 'classic' I've ever read was War of the Worlds.
-
Dont feel bad Kaz.. I have a beer ad as an avatar now :p
-
Woah. Classic.
-
...........
-
Damn you Thorn, thats awesome. And what'd I get. Nuthin'
-
the jist:
Don was an old knight, senile, but very very stupidly brave, and nearsighted, while traveling about oneday he sees this giant, well actualy he sees this windmill, but he thinks it's a giant, so he charges it on his old as him steed, and nearly gets killed, but he doesn't let that get him down, he keeps trying to find the cowardly giant that bolted just before he hit that windmill he crashed into, and trying to win the love of some woman,
I never read it myself, that's just the jist I've picked up.
-
and hence why i dislike the title
if implies i don't know what I'm doing, and that i am fighting a futile battle.
-
Kaz, you are fighting a futile battle. But we still like you!:D
-
well your willing to go chargeing into battle at a moments notice.

It's still fun isn't it though. I've learned a lot from those threads.
And the title fits.
Oh and Don Quixote is also one of the four male character archetypes in literature, so you should feel proud.

Proud that he isn't a female archetype??

But how are we supposed to know what it is when we already have a custom title by that time? :p
yeah, 60 to go and I reach 14k. I wonder how Steak does not to break his keyboard :p
-
EDIT: we actually have a couple more Sobek's around it would seem. Woolie Wool being one of them
here is one more sopek
<----;)
anyway Custom titles are nothing just something peoples earn when they do something great
-
:doubt:

now an0n, you KNOW someone (probably Shrike) will give you a custom one when you have about 3 to go... ;7 :nod: :D :p
-
I'll just have to get myself banned again then, won't I?
-
oh, however are you going to do such a feat?
I've been stuck with mine sence I pestered Setekh into giveing me one. I think he could have done better personaly.
-
'nuff.
