Topicless thread

congrats to your brother. :3 i always wanted to be in the boy scouts (or something other than girl scouts), but sadly never achieved that dream. and girl scouts didn't teach me shit. :\

I think my mom/grandma/childhood best friend wanted me to join Girl Scouts, but I was stubborn and wouldn't.

The closest I came was selling cookies door-to-door with my aunt and cousin, in this sketchy neighborhood ... she invited my dad along for protective duty, lol. They ended up cleaning up though, Rednecks seem to really like their cookies.

@Kari: I'm sure you had more fun with Girl Scouts than I did with RA (The "Christian-oriented Boy Scouts clone", as retarded as that sounds >_<; )
Let's just say, aside from a few good things, that's a part of my past I'd rather not talk about

Anyway, the weather is nice today. I'm considering getting out for a bit this afternoon, to get some fresh air and some new pics :3

Christian-oriented Boy Scouts?

Because the normal Boy Scouts is such an orgy of godless depravity.

[Chocofreak13]

but the regular boy scouts is already christian. or catholic. one of those. :\

i just wanted to learn how to survive in the woods. :[

or maybe i could join
this group. :\

[Nichi]

I just wanted to learn about something other than football :[

Really; all that RA group I was part of discussed was American Football, of which I did not care about. Now, had it been soccer, I might have cared more; as that sport's alright

[Bella]

Ehhhhhh, the Boy Scouts doesn't have any religious affiliation. Though I've heard they aren't fond of openly atheist members.

[Chocofreak13]

i remember hearing on penn & teller's bullshit that the boy scouts were originally started as a christian-backed organization. or catholic. and yes, they openly expelled/denied gay or atheist members. of course, this is only officially, as most scout masters don't give a shit what you do or do not worship. :\

also, ghost hath returneth!!

[Red-Machine]

The scout movement was started in the UK in the 1800s by a guy called Baden Powell.  It was used to keep young boys out of trouble, teach them discipline and responsibility.  And also to prevent them from masturbating.

[Bella]

Lol, wasn't preventing boys from masturbating the aim of nearly every youth organization at that time?

@Kari - Did Ghost come back to your house or did you find her? Either way, that's great news. : )

[Chocofreak13]

we think fern found her. she just sort of materialized at the front door. :\

also, if you wanna see something inspirational, read my latest facebook post. >w>

"How many times faster is a Firewire 800 port than a Firewire 400 port"

finally

[Nichi]

I take it you had a nerd moment, Kriz; like the time when I owned an Office Depot employee by correcting them on how 1TB was not1,000GB, but in fact 1,024GB. Huge difference :3

[Chocofreak13]

i hope i can have a nerd moment someday. :3

[Krizonar]

Nah, Firewire 800 is twice as fast as 400, just finally it's not a super Windows question like "What is the name of the log file and its location that is created when you enabled boot loging from the Advanced Boot Options startup menu"

and was an actual general computer question.

[Chocofreak13]

ah. well, good for you :3
