First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and drank while they were pregnant. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.
Then, after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in cribs covered with brightly colored lead-based paints.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets, and, when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets.
As infants & children, we rode in cars with no car seats, booster seats, seat belts or air bags. Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle. We shared one soft drink with four friends from one bottle, and NO ONE actually died from this.
We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter, and drank Kool-Aid made with sugar, but we weren't overweight because …. WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!
We left home in the morning, played all day and came home when the streetlights came on. No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.
We had NO Play stations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, video games, 150 cable channels, video movies, DVD's, surround-sound, CD's, I Pods, cell phones, personal computers, Internet nor chat rooms....... WE HAD FRIENDS, and we went outside and found them!
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth, and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.
We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.
We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, and, although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.
We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and just walked in!
Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment.
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!
These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers, and inventors the world has ever known! The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success , and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it!
You are one of these people – Congratulations! |

Slap Your Co-Worker Day is Coming!!
Tomorrow is the official Slap Your Irritating Co-workers Holiday: Do you
have a co-worker who talks nonstop about nothing, working your last nerve
with tedious and boring details that you don't give a damn about? Do you
have a co-worker who ALWAYS screws up stuff creating MORE work for you? Do
you have a co-worker who kisses so much booty, you can look in their mouth
and see what your boss had for lunch? Do you have a co-worker who is SOOO
obnoxious, when he/she enters a room, everyone else clears it? Well, on
behalf of Ike Turner, I am so very very glad to officially announce
tomorrow as SLAP YOUR IRRITATING CO-WORKER DAY! There are the rules you
must follow:
* You can only slap one person per hour - no more.
* You can slap the same person again if they irritate you again in the same
day.
* You are allowed to hold someone down as other co-workers take their turns
slapping the irritant.
* No weapons are allowed...other than going upside somebody's head with a
stapler or a hole-puncher.
* CURSING IS MANDATORY! After you have slapped the recipient, your
"assault" must be followed with something like "cause I'm sick of your
stupid-a$$ always messing up stuff!"
* If questioned by a supervisor [or police, if the supervisor is the
irritant], you are allowed to LIE, LIE, LIE! Now, study the rules, break
out your list of folks that you want to slap the living day lights out of
and get to slapping.....and have a great day.....

| Thread: Resident Evil 1 or 2? |
|
|
you have to get the first Resident Evil..... due to originality..... ie: storyline, suspense, gameplay (how you play, how you end)..... but cos its the first, its abit blocky.....
also get RE2..... cos theres a whole lotta more gameplay n slightly improved graphics on this one.....
once you're done with these two, get the rest of the RE series..... highly recommended.....
