A word about the content here at Amiga.org

[Karlos]

This would be a realistic conversation if i were to walk into a computer store and try to purchase an Amiga.

I say: I'd like to buy an Amiga!

Salesperson says: Come again?

Uh ho. That gives me an idea...

[Karlos]

Aah Nostaligia... Where would we be without it.:cool:

True, but don't you find they don't make it as good as they used to?

[Karlos]

She's Chinese... I eat the Spam or the chicken feet... You do the math

At least chicken feet are anatomically identifiable.

[Karlos]

History Today!!!! Rob Newman for the win!!! :lol:

See a wet, rubbery mass, the hue of which is a shade of pink that matches no known animal tissue, slowly sliding out of a rounded rectangular can?

Does it have an appearance that suggests a crudely blended mix of, and I quote, "All the bits that hang down, stick out or wag?"

Yes, indeed it looks the output of an experiment in industrial offal waste compaction.

I have observed such a unsavoury item.

That's your lunch that is...

[Karlos]

Caption: Heeeelllpp!!!

Feet up anybody that would rather eat spam?

[Karlos]

We have sooo derailed this thread.

So much for site announcements. :lol:

The announcement was 8 years old though...

@ Kesa
What's with your avatar?

That's cold blooded AOL Murder.

I think I'm going to report you to a moderator called Redru... Oh wait a sec......  

*hides quickly*

[Karlos]

Perhaps we need a mashup site for Monty Python's Amiga computer Spam...  

You're already posting on it :lol:

[Karlos]

Or in other words, "anybody got a cam they don't want?"

[Karlos]

Why is everyone acting goofy tonight?

It's not unusual...Cue the Boyo!

[Karlos]

Ummm... sure.  There you go again, cutting through all my elegantly crafted verbiage to get straight to the bullshit..    Very helpful..

Heh.

Wayne

Sometimes you just have to cut to the chase, you know? :lol:

[Karlos]

Goofy?

You ain't seen nothing yet.:insane:

Once in a blue moon I come here for a good laugh with old friends more than anything Amiga related.

We don't take ourselves too seriously and we've had a great few laughs in the past.

This totally reminded me of a post, but for all my searches I can't find it. Basically Red said something and later retracted it on the observation he was "feeling goofy". It was Wilse who then made me spray my drink over my keyboard with a reply something to the effect of "Red, stop right there. Put the cartoon dog down and step away slowly..."

[Karlos]

And now for something completely different........

@Karlos
Where is your avatar from ? It's been bugging me for a while. Just tonight though it dawned on me that it might be from Deus Ex ? (fantastic game btw)

Indeed it is a fantastic game, but you need to delve back further into the cyberpunk genre and recall a bullfrog classic...

[Karlos]

While we are talking about irrelevany forum stuff can i ask a question that's been bugging me for a while?

On the homepage it says the maximum users online at any time was 497 on 7-29-2010 at 2:46pm. I've never seen anything like this number since i've been here. Just wondering what was the occasion?

We could tell you, but then we'd have to make  you disappear so you couldn't tell anybody else... Like some dubious masonic organisation, we have our secrets.

[Karlos]

Aaah, it just hit me (ouch)........

Syndicate Wars ?

Well, the original Syndicate to be precise. Syndicate wars was the sequel. I wasn't terribly impressed with it myself. It was a nice idea but it was the early days of 3D, when it was all done in software and generally looked pretty awful. Compared to the hand-pixelled graphics of Syndicate it just didn't captivate.

[Karlos]

What would be really cool for amiga.org would be a chat room(s). Can we get some? Forums are too slow.

Slow suits a lot of us awld dinos.
