Official 1st Annual SM LAN picture thread

[keto]

Do you prefer 'GayThrax', 'QueerThrax' or 'HomoThrax' from now on? :hrm:

[GHoosdum]

I think we should go with HomoThrax; it sounds more like a scientific term.

homothraxogeny: the replacement of all typed instances of the letter 's' with 'th' in order to provide that special mantouch.

[Thrax]

Pseudo is far better at the "TH superimposition" than I am.

Proposed; homopseudonism.

[Clutch]

haha, ocomik, that is the best, haha

This thread is had me laughing until I cried soo many times, wow thanks a lot guys.

As far as the mantouch thing goes, can you imagine it's like 4 in the morning and me, tk, mondi, and thrax are trying to figure what would be the "best" site to direct everyone to, now that was funny.

[Norge]

;D Oh man this stuff is great. lol.

Norge

[Leonardo]

What actually was in the punch bowl up there in Detroit? ;D ;D

[Thrax]

Team Nexlia DURRRRRRRRRRR

[GHoosdum]

That man looks nothing like me. See the obvious gut?

[Thrax]

Shouldn't have said anything. I took the liberty of cleaning it up as per your listed flaw.

[Straight_Man]

Personally, I will believe the allergies bit.... MAYYYBEE!!!

PRime giving AWAY food???? Hmmm....

BERRRRYYY PUNNYYY!!!

ROFLMAO!!!

Thanks for a very good picture of what REALLY went on there.... :D;D

[Clutch]

Here is the group photo that I just got up don't ask me who is doing the mantouching in this one.

[Clutch]

Here is a shot of me, forgot what I was doing, seems like someone cut some cheese in the background.

[GHoosdum]

Somebody was mantouching my butt...

[Clutch]

And we all know who this big pimp is

[TBonZ]

Just out of curiosity, how tall is Mondi?

[Clutch]

I'd say about 6'3" or so.

[primesuspect]

Look, he's half viking and half african.... Come on.....

He's got to be at LEAST 7' 6".......

[MAGIC]

That would be whitecastles new crave bucket prime is holding there.

[Norge]

Look, he's half viking and half african.... Come on.....

He's got to be at LEAST 7' 6".......
ROFL!!! ;D

So holding a big red bucket makes you a pimp? I need one of those!

Norge

[mmonnin]

Yes mondi is tall. Still a VERY nice guy if I may say so myself. Hope I get to see him again in a few weeks.:)

[-tk]

[checkmate]

Thanx Primesuspect. Its great to be part of the community. To all my homies out there give me a holla! HOLLA! Just joking. :banghead:

[GnomeWizardd]

[McBain]

[primesuspect]

-tk sees off Virtues Of Evil at the airport yesterday...

[primesuspect]

me, -tk, and VoE... I'm really gonna miss him... We'll see you at the next one, Raul.. :D

[primesuspect]

DogSoldier insists on calling me bruce... Maybe it's a canadian thing... I dunno....

[Geeky1]

I think it's a DogSoldier thing, actually. :D

[primesuspect]

Every picture that has -tk, mondi, and VoE in it ends up looking like a band picture.... here we are chilling with thrax and TheSMJ in Royal Oak one night....

[primesuspect]

Since Raul and mondi were here (mondi continues to be here still :D ) I figured I may as well extort some free labor from them... here they are working for me at the sarcnet HQ.

[Thrax]

BTW, the restaurant shown in the background at the corner of 11 Mile and Main Street has AWESOME food. I suggest you check it out if you're ever in town.

My food choice is the jumbo mixed grill.

[primesuspect]

I'm showing off one of VoE's tags -- i believe it's the "OMGHI2U!" one..... He left them all over the place... :D

[primesuspect]

test_tube_tony.... up close and personal...

[primesuspect]

QCH congratulates mondi on a successfull game of wristgolf....

[primesuspect]

EgoShowcase shows off little BabyShowcase.... :D

Congrats, Allen :D :D :D

[primesuspect]

Wow.... Tony and TheSMJ play a game of advanced Mantouch.. These guys were up to like level 22 before I couldn't stand to watch anymore.... :eek3:

[primesuspect]

This was almost the last time I saw QCH... See you at the next LAN, Q :D

[primesuspect]

[leishi85]

just received my package with the shirts from prime, w00t

[mewashere03]

Wow... You guys have way to much time on your hands to come up with stuff like that. ;D

[checkmate]

Yeah, I know. But I am glad to waste my time with you guys anytime.

[checkmate]

I am going to get my own laptop. Just have to bring my Spanish grade up and my English to A's and I have 17 days left. :banghead:

[primesuspect]

Make sure the laptop has at least a mobile radeon 9000 or you're not going to be able to play unreal tournament on it. Also, you'll need at least 512mb of ram to play UT2k4 on a laptop.

[checkmate]

Thanx for the help. I bought UT04 on Monday.

[checkmate]

I drew a plan. :) LOL

[leishi85]

OMG, use jpeg next time, your BMP took forever to load even on DSL.

[checkmate]

Sorry. Thing is that I don't know how to make a jpeg. :banghead:

[primesuspect]

DUDE! 723k from a FREEWEBS site... That crap took forever!!!

I deleted it and changed it to a gif..... BMP=723K ... GIF =7K

:grumble: :mad:

[primesuspect]

Lei, did you steal Joel's headphones? :D

[checkmate]

Thanx, and again I am sorry.

[leishi85]

of course i did, i mean i did not.

i told him yesterday i got the package, but he hasn't come to get it yet.

[checkmate]

Why do you steal headphones? joke :aol:

[profdlp]

Sorry. Thing is that I don't know how to make a jpeg. :banghead:
IrfanView (http://www.irfanview.com/) will do it, and it's free.

Sorry for the :topic: post... :)

[MAGIC]

[primesuspect]

ouch... you okay?

[GHoosdum]

[V][AGIC']yay, my shirt. too bad i wasnt at school today to get it. 2 days ago in a lacrosse game i got slashed realy bad in the stomach. i think i buised some organs or something. lei bring it over or just give mine to joel:)

Dude, reading that makes my internal organs squirm around. Uh. I gotta go poo now. Feel better, OK?

[MAGIC]

ya im think im good, last night was bad but im feeling alot better now. thanks for the concern

[leishi85]

what are you talking about in school to get it.

i been out of school, last week thursday was my last day conrad.

[MAGIC]

oh ya i forgot, lucky you

[MountainDew]

http://www.short-media.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=8571&stc=1

shirts are awesome, ][v][agic wasted no time filling his breast pocket with those handy dandy floppy disks

[checkmate]

What are these shirts that thouest speak of? :rockon:

[Clutch]

The official LAN shirts that everyone got for attending the LAN. They didn't make it on time for the lan, so Brian is shipping them to everyone.

[checkmate]

Oh! I was there too. It was the mad hook up! :Rocker:

[KingFish]

They didn't make it in time? hrm

[primesuspect]

No, they came on Monday :(

It's okay, they look fantastic, and are almost all sent out to everybody :)

[mewashere03]

Yup the shirts are awsome I like mine :)

[checkmate]

Shirts sound cool! :Rocker:

[primesuspect]

Well if you register for next year's LAN, you'll get one :)

[checkmate]

Excellante! :Rocker:
How much is the fee gonna' be for next years LAN party?
(Hey, that rhymes. I should be a rapper.Kablapper!)

[KingFish]

Yeah, and where is the next LAN going to be held? Somewhere centrally located where most everyone can drive to hopefully...

KF

[Kwitko]

Well, there was talk of a NY LAN.

[TheGr81]

How 'bout you hold the LAN in Miami or somethin'! :D

[Geeky1]

NY would really, really suck. The farther it is from CA, the less chance there is that I could make it. :( Somewhere in the midwest might be best...

[GHoosdum]

I vote "yes" to the Midwest.

//edit: Actually there's a place out here in Milford, where I live, that might have the capacity for 60 or so gamers.

If Cincinnati is deemed a suitably 'central' location, we may be able to swing it with enough notice (we'd be kicking out Yu Gi Oh players this time, not a Bible study group).

[KingFish]

How about out somewhere out in Iowa in the middle of a cornfield? That would be pretty close to central...
Miami? Sounds great but not feasible IMO.

KF

[TheGr81]

Yeah, Midwest is definitely the best for everyone's accessibilty. Although anything farther than Orlando is prolly out of the question for me... Unless we could get a carpool goin' from south Florida.

[primesuspect]

Hey, if I'm organizing LAN 05, it's gonna be in Detroit again :D

[Geeky1]

What makes you think we'll let you organize it? :D ;D

[McBain]

only the fact that he potentially holds the ban stick.

[Kwitko]

Well how about 2 LANs a year, a western/midwest and an eastern?

[Leonardo]

Ah great, we're now talking locations much closer to Georgia, just as I am making preparations to pull up stakes and settle on the West Coast! :rant:

[keto]

If it was in DesMoines, I might even make it - our head office is there.

[KingFish]

Well DesMoines it is then hehe. Do they have the internet there yet? Seriously though, we do need to move the location around a little bit. I'm sure others would pitch in to help with organizing and logistics...

KF

[GnomeWizardd]

Florida gets my vote for the next SM lan but I think one in canada would be a good idea too ( /me runs away)

[QCH]

Chicago....

[profdlp]

Cleveland Rocks! :Rocker:

(11 days and counting...)

[CB]

The entirety of Team Nexlia lives in Cincy. We have experience with LANs, and with organizing large events. If Cincy is decided upon, we volunteer to organize.

[primesuspect]

THIS IS THE PICTURE THREAD, NOT the "let's discuss next year's LAN" thread!

With that said, here we are saying goodbye to mondi at Detroit Metro Airport today:

[Thrax]

/me waves bye to Mondi

Most <i>definitely</i> great to meet you in person. An honour. :)

[primesuspect]

Here's the final "yes, mondi lived with us for two weeks and became a member of our family" shot...

[CB]

Sorry.

Here's a picture of me whipping myself with a cat of nine tails as punisment for diverting the thread:


//edit: photo removed

[primesuspect]

Now THIS is an organizing kind of guy... Just look at the commanding presence, the suave sophistication, and true grit of the first LAN organizer...

mondi gets credit for this picture...

[Kwitko]

THIS IS THE PICTURE THREAD, NOT the "let's discuss next year's LAN" thread!


Okay, so let's start the "Official Let's Discuss Next Year's LAN Thread."

hey prime, you know that in that pic, you look a lot like the guy in this pic?

[profdlp]

Regarding White Castle, I found this in the news today. Not only do the Anaheim Angels have the best record in baseball, they have good taste off the field as well:

Angels eat 240 burgers!
Tuesday, May 25, 2004

Heavy fog and thunderstorms late Sunday forced the Angels' charter to be diverted from Toronto to Detroit.

The Angels reached Detroit about 2 a.m. Monday and, because of landing restrictions in Toronto, sat on the tarmac for four hours. They finally flew to Toronto, arriving at 6:30 a.m. and reaching their hotel at 8 a.m.

Emerging as a hero in the Angels' travails was traveling secretary Tom Taylor, who made a middle-of-the-night food run to White Castle in Detroit and returned with 240 burgers and 25 bags of fries, a $325 order that caught employees of the burger joint off guard.

[primesuspect]

Pfff. They beat our emergency run of 90 burgers - that only cost $60....

:(

[Black Hawk]

But they have like 25 players with big appetites.

[primesuspect]

So do we.....

[profdlp]

Don't forget a half-dozen or more coaches, plus batboys, and front-office personnel.

[DogSoldier]

I met most everyone at the Lan.. cept' a few guys, you know who you are.. fear filled your eyes everytime I entered the room. I just have a question, who was that dude at the back?.. I think he was sitting between Psuedo and McBain. He seems to be the only one we don't have a pic for.

[GHoosdum]

Sitting on the opposite side of the table between them, do you mean? That was reverb.

[oCoMiK]

[primesuspect]

BTW: The only person I have received ANY pictures from is DogSoldier.......

[QCH]

Yeah guys... If you have pictures.... Send them to Brian so he can add them to the SM LAN'04 DVD. Un-editied, if my m emory serves me.

[CB]

I'd have lots of pictures if I hadden't forgotten batteries for my Camera. :banghead:

[citrixmeta]

do it.... do it..... do it....

[Clutch]

I forgot about the DVD. I will get on it when I get home.

[oCoMiK]

I PM'd you the link shortly after the LAN because of the file size (40 MB +). If you positively have to have it via e-mail, let me know and I can accomodate.

For everyone else, here it is... Enjoy!

[Leonardo]

I PM'd you the link shortly after the LAN because of the file size (4MB+). Uh, 4MB give or take 40. :rant: ;D

[oCoMiK]

Uh, 4MB give or take 40. :rant: ;D

The zero after the four was assumed :)

Aren't you suppose to be at work?

[DogSoldier]

Thanks Ocomik. I downloaded that zip like 5 months ago but lost it. I'm glad you didn't delete it. I just went through the whole thread again and laughed like a hyaena. ;D

[oCoMiK]

No problem... As the year begins to draw to a close, I'm starting to think about the 2005 SM LAN. Oh good times...

Take care...

[leishi85]

whatever happend to those picture CD/DVD?
