Random Hang Out Topic

I have a vocab test tomarrow...but it's FRIDAY!

Has anybody ever eaten alligator? I had some Fried Alligator with dinner last night, it was great. I didn't really know what to expect when my friend ordered it, but it was really good.

I never had but my brother ate some and he liked it.

Last night, I had toquitos in my car! We had to go somewhere. My friend had German Shepard before.

I love taquitos. Taquitos and burritos are my favorite mexican foods. I'll usually get both in a meal if I can.

I'm so excited. The Devils home opener is friday! Going there as an early birthday present. lol, weather it was my birthday the next day or not, I still would be going to opening Night.

It's called Extraordinary Measures and it's about Brenden's kids having a diesease and Ford plays a doctor that tries to find a cure. It's very sad and is based off of a true story. I like Ladder 49, too.

Ladder 49 is BY FAR my favorite firefighter movie of all time... Backdraft is a great movie too but just doesn't seem very realistic

I had a productive today. I spent a good portion of it on my computer trying to send the 'Recycle Bin' to the 'Recycle Bin'.

Slow day today.

HAHAHAHAHA nice

HEY! NO double posting! I should have a moderator talk to you about this! Yeah, I'm invited to a party at my friend's grandma's tonight. I'm going.

oh sorry..

He was kidding about the moderator part

Did you not notice the emoticon!? Anyway, I had my last Cross-Country meet today and I got 27th. I did alright and we all went to Shoops afterward (it's a hamburger place). My friend spilled her milkshake on herself, her friend's pants, the table, and the floor. Then we had a meat fight. Fun night.

Best song ever:

Funny song. I'm so pround of myself because I built 2 fire trucks in ldraw today. It's a Lego building program, like LDD. I'll try to post some screens. The first one is Emgine 4, and the second is Truck 2.

They look cool. How long did it take you to make these?

Well, I made some mistakes in the quint. The cabinents should be red, the pump controls aren't on yet, and I couldn't find the side windows. It took me about 2-3 hours to build the quint and less to build the pumper. I'm not a pro yet, so I still need to look at other lego rigs to build mine.

I'm gonna derail the thread to say I changed the skin of the forum... only slightly, but colour changes are to come soon

I thought it looked different on my I pod i like it.

It's very cool. Looks more modern and stuff. BTW, I'm now working on a tower ladder on LDraw. Should be done...sometime this week.

Anybody interested, here is the 2010-2011 Opening video for the Devils.

Opening night was Friday the 8th, Devils lost to Dallas 4-3 in overtime, still a fun game though

Blackhawks lost, too. To look at the brightside, my life is really good now and I'm getting a new Lego quint custom built.

C. Davis wrote:Yeah, I was just at soccer and the Tower, Quint, and an ambulance flew by Code 3 blasting the Q and horns. Got me really motivated to keep playing! The tower is beast. Here's some pics. (Quint is not up yet.) The pic posted is of my dad's rig on the BP fire dept. It's Engine 16, a 2007 E-One.

Is that a sattelite truck? I was wondering becuase of its huge deck gun.

HEY! Welcome to the squad! I'm Chuck Davis: SAR Firefighter and post-Ladder 1 medic. Hope you enjoy your time here at ERT.

Anyway, it's my dad's assigned engine at work, Engine 16. It and Engine 15 are first responding, and it's from BP Refinary, so the deck gun is very powerful. That's why it's so big.

Don't want that oil fire to go all over the place.haha. Whatsup I'm John Hannahan.....uhhh...probie on Pumper 11.

Hi everybody, nice to be here!

Hey

Guys, I'm sure many if not all of us are into real (not fake) ghost/scary stories. Well, i"ve got a good website and magazine for you. I've gotten the magazine for a while, and the website has been up for a few years. It's called "Weird New Jersey". Fully of REAL weird happenings, haunting, abandoned places, scary places (ex. Clinton Road, full of ghosts, satanic rituals, and old cars trying to run you off the road). And of course, the Jersey Devil.

Luckily, I live in New Jersey, so I can go visit a lot of the places in Weird NJ. I even live near a lot of these places. Even if you can't visit them, or live on the other side of the world, these are nice stories to read before bed or home alone at night or something.

Anyway, if you're interested, here's the Weird New Jersey website:
http://www.weirdnj.com/

(And if you're wondering, yes like an New Jerseian, I believe in the Jersey Devil, and other stuff in Weird NJ. I also have had what I believe to be an experience with the Jersey Devil. I'll tell you my experience if anybody's interested.)

(tell tell tell! )

I don't believe in ghosts,... but I always love a good ghost story!

P.S. this is my favorite song.

I believe in ghosts and aliens. This one guy wrote 3 books about "Haunted Indiana." I live kinda near a haunted school. Anyway, I had a great day today and I'm just full of energy. But it really sucks because I have drum lessons, church drumming practice, and then right after that I have basketball practice from 8-9:30. Still, great day though and tomarrow's Friday!

Oh, BTW, here's my latest LDraw creation: Schererville FD Tower 1. What should I build next, a resuce or SFD Engine 3?

I think Rescue.

Well, if you read any of the stories of encounters with the Jersey Devil, people will usually recall that the heard a loud screeching noise unlike any other, that's supposedly the sound the Jersey Devils.

One morning earlier this year, it was around 4 or 330am, I was sleeping with my windows open, and I woke up to that screeching noise. It got louder and louder, then faded, then got louder, like it was flying back and forth. It went on for about a minute. Then the next morning, I went out to my car, and in the snow in my backyard were these horse-like hoof-prints, and in depictions of the Jersey Devil, it has hoofs.

I've always been a believer in the Jersey Devil (Like anybody in New Jersey), but actually encountering it just confirms it's existence.

I believe in ghosts and aliens

I'm also a big believer in aliens, and ghosts.

Aliens, I've never had an experience with aliens or UFOs, but c'mon, isn't it hard to believe that people on earth are the only forms of life out there, in never ending space with other galaxies and planets that can support human life?

So McGuire, you're from Jersey!
On a totally unrelated note from the Jersey Devil, did you catch the latest South Park episode?

Yup, I'm from Jersey,and yeah I saw South Park, that was freakin' awesome. I was laughing the whole time. Just that typical New Jersey stereotype is hilarious, and that Snooki-monster thing, I guess it was supposed to be a mix of Snooki and the Jersey Devil.

That episode was great.

Paul martain (new jersey devils)went to my school.

Hehe, I was just wondering wether you'd be pissed or amused by it. Guess it's a Jersey thing then.
I thought it was great too. Not one of the best episodes, but above average.

I'll build a rescue. It will be based off of Durham Highway, NC, Resuce 5. Next I'm gonna build a brush truck.

Awsome! *Scratches back of head*

Rescue 5: DONE!

Looks good. Can you show me the inside of the rig?

Sure. IDK how I'm supposed to build it, but this is my 1st rescue so I did the interior my way.

Cool! Can't wait to see the brush truck.

Thats pretty darn good! When I tried Ldraw I didn't what to do.

Not bad mate.

Dude your banner is awesome! How'd you get it?! Anyway, I'll start on the brush later. It kinda looks like this.

Someone on a different forum talked to me about it, and offered to make one.

Cool.

Like the new logo!

Soory guys, no brush truck for now. I can't get the frame right. I'M SO MAD THOUGH!! Galligano, you know Thomas Duggan, the guy who gave you the St. Lego rig, right? HE SHUT DOWN HIS ST. LEGO FD SITE!! I don't get it. I ordered a quint from him, he said that it would take a couple days to build, it's been over a week, and he's still not done with it. I'm ordering one like Engine 2 if you wanna see it. Oh, wait, you can't because he closed the site! He did say that he had problems with paypal though, could that have something to do with it? He also deleted his pictures off of brickshelf, and that's wierd. Still, I hope he didn't give up Legos.

Did you already pay for the Quint? If you pay for it, and he doesn't give you the money, quint, or anything in return, that's a crime.

No. He said he'd build it, show me pics, and then I'd send him the money order. I send him another email, but haven't gotton a reply yet.
