 		I don't see what the big deal is about schooling someone. Out of all the message boards I've ever used, this one is filled with the nicest people, by far. You should try embracing your dark side.

There's a difference between schooling someone and slapping their hands with a ruler. Rolling Eyes

The problem, Svengoolie, was that the reaction was disproportionate to the poster's actions, and that you told him/her to "go away."

We don't want people to go away, unless they are spammers or trolls. Neither description is obviously applicable to lacy.

Ergo, it was not a schooling; it was simply an inappropriate and overly harsh flaming.

I couldn't get anything out of the lastest entry's random caps, but then again, I am a complete newbie at this, soo...

So much so that I didn't even NOTICE the random caps in the other entry. Heh.

Nice catch on the films, though. Anyone wanna try and get the random letters that are found in some of the picture links figured out?

 		I checked to see if they have anything new... they got rid of that Full Metal Jacket stuff and just have the random caps thing there. Seems like there really is a puzzle, nobodies solved it, and they changed the update to try and hammer it in people's heads.

 		Heh... I found a site that has celebrity birthdays. The closest choice was Jessica Simpson born on July 10th 1980.

 		I scrolled back through the previous posts, and noticed that some of the words have been changed to links. A couple for different bands, a recording company, a dictionary definition, and...something pretty trippy.
http://fusionanomaly.net/ Whaaaaat? Shocked

EDIT: This site is HUGE. Dang. There seems to be alot of 2001:A Space Odyssey/Stanley Kubrick stuff floating around, and then just strange, strange links (camping trips with young boys that ended in sex orgies?!?). This is crazy stuff. I can't even tell if it's real or not. Confused

EDIT EDIT: By the way, I don't think that the person 'Born in the late 70s' is anyone in the band. Late 70s would make you about 30 or so. And the guys in the band seem more early 20s to me (I can't seem to find a birthdate for any of them though!)

 		Interesting. That's definitely an independently made website...

Your post got me to thinking about the 70s thing again. Whatever was born could be a character who arrived when a movie came out, or even the movie itself. That would be between Barry Lyndon and The Shining.

im completely new to all this, but i am however a ridiculously huge brand new fan, and i know for a fact that Jesse Lacey (lead singer of brand new) was born on July 10, 1978 making him 27 years old. proof of this is below.
