Lindstrom Knows Everything, everything that matters, anyway Options

[Lindstrom]

Nope, I don't even really believe in marriage. It's not like I need a guy in a robe and some supposed higher power to allow me to be with someone. For tax related purposes, however, it's a different story. Still, I can get around that by just being rich and donating money.

When do you think we will be able to utilize Hydrogen? Considering its one of the most abundunt things in the universe.

[Lindstrom]

We can already utilize it, it's just that it's not entirely space efficient. Ok, I guess that would be not utilizing it. But anyway the main use of it would be transferring electricity over long distances (specifically by boat or maybe pipeline). If there was like, a way to use electricity to generate ethanol, then that would be more effective because you would be able to store more energy in ethanol. The point of hydrogen cells is really to act as batteries, as normal batteries are inefficient and made of hazardous materials. That's probably the first developments you'll be seeing in action.

When do you think the World will come to an end?

Did you know that in an interview with Time a while back the Dalai Lama laughed about a time a French priest tried to convert to him to Christianity? Is the rest of the French pristhood this clueless or do most French people just not follow religion like most parts of Europe do? And don't blame religion in general, as the Dalai Lama is religous too. Blaming Christianity is cool though.

LET'S BLAME THE POPE

Don't you think it would be nicer to get married to the person you love to show your commitment to each other, and to pledge your lives to each other? I don't know, it just seems more romantic.

[Lindstrom]

When it runs out of spinning juice. It's not an issue I worry myself with because it'll likely be long after I'm dead. I mean, the sun will explode or whatever in like 5.5 billion years anyway. To quote Itoi: "There's nothing that I can do about everything coming to an end, so as long as I have my life, I'd like to appreciate it."

Not really sure what that's supposed to be. What do they do? Are they on the same side as Batman? Because I can trust Batman.

Never heard about that article, but I'm pretty sure it was just 1 guy being exceptionally zealous. I'm all for people believing in whatever the hell they wanna believe, but the people who try to convert other people, whether through violence or constant preaching, is something that I can't stand.

I'm a non-traditional guy, I don't do things like in the movies. Instead, I like to think up unexpected ways to show how I feel. A wedding is in league with ending all conversations with "I love you". I mean, what's the point of that? Did they forget? I like to save "I love you" for only when they don't know it. Similarly, I'd like to show someone I care deeply enough to be with them the rest of our lives by doing something more creative than just buying some rings and a white dress and a big cake. I just think it's more endearing to think up a new way to say "I love you" instead of doing what's been done to death.

[Headtrip]

So weddings are just another way of saying "I love you"? Can you think of anything better and more enjoyable for most people? And what about the part where the bride takes off her garter and throws it at the groom's friends? Or the huge catfight that results when the same bride, probably drunk, throws the bouquet at the bridesmaids? What non-sexual activity could possibly get any more entertaining than that?

[Lindstrom]

Weddings are mostly a religious thing. I'm not religious, so when you take that part out, you just have an expensive party where two people are now bonded by law and taxes. I'm really talking about the ceremony, not the party. I can throw a party whenever for whatever, and can probably have just as much fun. I'm pretty sure the majority of people don't feel the same way as I do about the ceremony though, but it would be fairly important for me to be with someone who can share that idea. Otherwise I'd feel forced to have a big ceremony, and I don't like the feeling of being forced to do something like that.

[Headtrip]

Moving off-topic now, but is this what they meant by "Warning: May contain sex and violence"? There's no actual sex stuff, but it's still pretty hot.

[Lindstrom]

Not sure what that was supposed to be but it was pretty boring and uninspiring. Anime stuff with all it's super powers and Megazords is pretty boring. Not to mention the characters are usually bland and predictable.

Is there some strange connection between my dream where I was chased by British werewolves calling me Miss Lilliput and then the same day, I found Lilliput Steps in Earthbound? DD:

Also; any suggestions for concurring the Fourside Department store? ;___;

[Darth-Paper-Boy]

Yes, they're on the same side as Batman. Sorta. They aid children by driving a virtual bus. The most boring virtual bus ever conceived. People give them money to keep playing this game which essentially boils down to this: You're driving a bus to Las Vegas from Tuscon (I think), in real tme, with a top speed of 40 miles an hour on a straight highway. No one else is on the highway, and there's no one to pick up with the bus. However, the bus does slightly veer to the side, so you have to adjust it or risk going off road and being towed BACK... in real time. Upon making it to Las Vegas you are rewarded one point and the opportunity to drive back. They've raised 18,000 for children's hospitals and are being forced to drive for 105 hours. Yaay!

So. Good?

[Lindstrom]

Hmm... the British... well, Gulliver's Travels was British, and they had Lilliput, the town of tiny people, and werewolves are probably bigger than you, and... Yes, I believe this is science at hand. Also, the department store gave me a hard time too, especially when I was playing once without using bottle rockets or Life Up. Try avoiding most of the monsters, and use PK Flash on the boss (I think that works). Run away from fights if there are too many monsters for you to take them out without getting messed up.

Sounds worthy of a Bat Thumbs Up.

[Katie]

I would just see the boxes, walk til they were offscreen and walk back until they disappeared. Such a game cheater. 8] And the Lilliput thing really freaked me out. XD;;

SO UH. What was Earthbound Zero about? :B

[Lindstrom]

In the early 1900's, a dark shadow covered a small country town in rural America. At that time, a young married couple vanished mysteriously from their home. The man's name was George, the woman's name was Maria.

Two years later, as suddenly as he left, George returned. He never told anyone where he had been or what he had done. But, he began an odd study, all by himself.

As for Maria, his wife... She never returned.

The main character, Ninten, George's great grandson, is a young boy living in a town called Podunk (Ninten is analogous to Ness in almost every way). Strange things begin to occur, such as objects coming to life and attacking people, zombies pop up, animals get violent, as well as some people. As he travels, Ninten makes friends with other children named Lloyd (Jeff), Ana (Paula), Teddy (more like Frank Fly than Poo), and Pippi (just like Pippi Longstockings), and discovers 8 special melodies, which when played together make a uniquely magical song. He also discovers a magical kingdom called Magicant, ruled by a benevolent but amnesic Queen Mary.

Spoiler:
George and Maria were kidnapped by aliens, but were treated well. George learned about PSI from them and returned to Earth to do studies on it, while Maria stayed to raise a young alien named Giygas. At present day (like, 1989), Giygas, having matured, leads an alien invasion on Earth because of the information George had taken (though he didn't publicize it). Ninten, upon learning all 8 of the melodies, sings the song to Queen Mary, who regains her memory. She is none other than Maria, who remembers the tune as a lullaby she sang to Giygas. She then vanishes, as does Magicant, and Ninten and his friends must then face Giygas, who has kidnapped a number of people. While fighting him, Ninten and his friends sing the song, which causes Giygas to breakdown emotionally and leave Earth, swearing revenge on Ninten. Everyone then has a dance party for a celebration.

Link to a video pertaining to the spoilers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DMMD1boKZU

There are a great number of parallels between MOTHER and EarthBound, though the only character who is actually in both is Giygas.

Why is French-Canadian rap so hideous? Is it because Quebec doesn't get a taste a tha thug lifestyle the rest of Canada rolls in the 'benz with?

[Lindstrom]

Never heard it, but pretty much I would assume any rap that ain't out of Queens, Compton, or Watts is most likely gonna be retarded. I'm not all that big into rap anyway. Except when it comes to Super Mario RPG.

[Arilla]

Why did I choose this year to start procrastinating?
