So I think I might be going insane. Last night I had a dream about Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick, the minions from Despicable Me and the Lion King.

That could mean you have an active imagination . As I don't think there have been any dream studies tied to them indicating any sign of proof that of insanity.

I think you should be okay basically. Though that dream. Does sound crazy.

I gotta stop eating cookies and milk before bed.

I once had a dream where the Planet Express crew, Zapp Branigan, and I were chased by Sonic the Hedgehog and the head of Richard Nixon wielding a lawnmower.
you aren't insane, that just sounds like an interesting dream.

My dreams really tend to scare me sometimes.

At least you've never dreamed that you were going to feed the local, endangered squirrel species that lives around your house by feeding them leftover pumpkins from Halloween with the neighbor girl that lives across the street, only for the girl to kiss you and run off into the woods, leaving you with mixed and confused emotions.

I only had two nightmares in my life where i woke up from it. Only to forget immediately what it was about X3

Got new headphones today and I'm already loving them.
See them here.

They're supposed to super solid and well built to survive anything you can throw at them, and let me tell you that they ARE. Unlike most headphones, all of the parts that actually get stressed with normal use are metal, not plastic, so they aren't going to break from normal use like my LAST pair of headphones. *Glares at the broken headphones sitting on the dresser across my room*

They also have changeable plates that are purely aesthetic but totally AWESOME. You can even get custom plates from the manufacturer that range from "affordable" with $25 for laser engraved aluminum ones to "who has that kind of money" for $9,000 for 14K Gold ones. They even have plain 3D printed Platinum ones for $27,000, and they can go to as much as $40,000 if you want to get fancy with the 3D printing.

For $25, I may get custom laser engraved aluminum ones at some point.

It's 3:18 AM at night and there is a moth flying around my room and smacking into the lit-up computer screen.

Post by **Sleet** » Wed Jul 22, 2015 1:22 am

Platinum is less than twice the price of gold and 3D printing is one of the cheaper ways to manufacture things with high-cost materials. What gives? D:

Jacey · Post by **Jacey** » Wed Jul 22, 2015 1:36 am

Obviously they want more money for things that sound much more awesome than boring old good. Everyone has done the good thing. That is so 2000. But 3D printed platinum? Like, who's done that before? No one. So buy now for the low, low price of 27 grand.

That's funny. Haven't had that happen to me for some time.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Wed Jul 22, 2015 2:56 pm

Did I mention a few weeks ago that I found a dead headless squirrel outside my bedroom window. I think one of our cats got him. I have an idea on which one though...

First, it may be the fact that the gold is only 14K that brings its price down some. I don't know if you're taking that into account because I'm too lazy to look up the prices myself right now.

Second, it could just be that more people actually bought the gold ones at first because, you know, GOLD. Since there was a higher demand, they were able to produce them in larger batches, reducing waste and making more in less time. Less overhead means lower prices, and as prices lower, more people buy, and the trend continues. (To a point anyway)

They could just get so few orders for platinum plates that they HAVE to charge that for it to be worth their time.

I just stumbled across this thanks to Cesco and couldn't resist sharing!

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sun Aug 02, 2015 2:38 pm

Well in two days I'm going to Arizona.

So I'm gonna pray a few times for safe passage on the plane.

Cesco · Post by **Cesco** » Sun Aug 02, 2015 2:46 pm

That's cool of you, Hlaoroo.

Have a safe trip, Amazee Dayzee, I got to even enjoy my first two trips on plane.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sun Aug 02, 2015 2:48 pm

I'm sure nothing won't happen. Like maybe 98%, but it doesn't help especially with the suicidal Germanwings pilot.

JeffCvt · Post by **JeffCvt** » Sun Aug 02, 2015 9:20 pm

Travel by air is statistically the safest way to travel. Yes, there was that recent incident, and it's unfortunate, but airlines took immediate steps to prevent such a thing happening again.

However, this forum is not the place to discuss that. You'll be fine Dayzee. Hundreds of millions of people fly and they all come out of it fine.

Civilization · Post by **Civilization** » Sun Aug 02, 2015 9:26 pm

I'm kind of jealous you get to fly... I've moved across the United States eight times, ending up at three ends of this place... Be happy that you're dealing with a few hour flight compared to a few day trip, heh...

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sun Aug 02, 2015 10:27 pm

If I'm in Buckeye for any reason, I'll make sure to drop in on you Civil. Ehehehehehe.

OK. I probably won't be. I don't know what we'll be doing aside from tubing down a river.

Saturn381 · Post by **Saturn381** » Thu Aug 06, 2015 1:40 am

So here's something I found that's interesting. For those who don't know, Shrek was originally going to be voice by Chris Farley, and Farley actually recorded half of his lines before his death. Apparently, someone discovered an early animation reel with Farley voicing Shrek.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcqJgC0WZ3o

Your thoughts?

Thu Aug 06, 2015 2:30 am

that's... actually surprisingly good. Not that I thought Chris Farley would be bad, just that usually it feels weird and wrong when you hear someone else voicing a character you've gotten used to, and you always think "no, I'm glad it was [insert final actor here] cause this is all wrong". but this just seems right. Too bad he couldn't finish it.

JeffCvt · Post by **JeffCvt** » Thu Aug 06, 2015 8:39 am

You're right Brent. It was... different, but not bad or wrong sounding.

If that WAS Shreck's final voice though, I feel the future movies probably would have gone in a different direction. He seemed very different here than I would picture him otherwise. That would be pretty interesting to see if there was actually a way to do it.

Post by **Sleet** » Tue Aug 11, 2015 12:15 pm

Chris Farley woulda been a great match! That's a shame.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Wed Aug 12, 2015 4:33 pm

Speak of the devil. I watched Shrek 2 during my flight back home!

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Wed Aug 12, 2015 9:31 pm

I still say that the first Shrek movie was the best and that the rest weren't necessary or very good.

JeffCvt · Post by **JeffCvt** » Wed Aug 12, 2015 10:06 pm

Isn't that true for about 70% of any movies that have two or more?

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Thu Aug 13, 2015 12:14 am

Well one of the reviews on the back of the DVD for Shrek 2 said that it was better than the original.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Thu Aug 13, 2015 12:22 am

True, Jeff.

And Amayzee, of course they say things like that there. They want you to buy the DVD.

Saturn381 · Post by **Saturn381** » Thu Aug 13, 2015 12:24 am

Well I prefer Shrek 2 over the first one myself.

ShadowLightning · Post by **ShadowLightning** » Thu Aug 13, 2015 10:27 am

I liked it too. Mainly because it had that awesome musical near the end. And the Fairy Godmother was cool.

Anyone seen any of the videos from that explosion in China? Crazy stuff.

Jacey · Post by **Jacey** » Thu Aug 13, 2015 11:26 am

I just heard about it, not seen much videos. Right now in my own home state with are dealing with a 200,000 acre fire ourselves, while its not as bad as that explosion it is getting worse. The smoke can bee seen from the capital of Boise (which since its near the Oregon border means the smoke cloud is visible from almost 60+ miles) http://www.kboi2.com/news/local/Soda-Fi ... 13761.html That's an article of it if anyone wants to read it. (warning its a news site and so the comments or any other article might not be forum appropriate)
