you've been gone far too long

regale us with tales

DAMMIT KHAL, CALM DOWN LONG ENOUGH TO GET UNBANNED, JESUS

Holy shit BTC, awesome. post more stuff

here are some other cool projects my lab (http://robotics.cs.uml.edu/) has been doing:







and then there's the artbotics program (http://www.artbotics.org/) which i teach to high school students and college students:





i also made all of the videos using my imovie and newgrounds audio portal search engine skillz

I know way too many people that are cooler than me.

so from august to december 2010 i worked for a robotics company (they make a lot of home robots and military robots). i was part of their education outreach program, and basically myself + someone else were hired to go to schools throughout massachusetts and give presentations about the world of robots and demo a few robots. it was pretty fun, good pay, and now i get to put it on my resume so yay. HOWEVER, the woman who was my partner for this project was...

a mormon. her being a mormon was not the problem, but i feel that it contributed to my aggravation with her. so when i got hired it was told to me via e-mail, and the other woman (whom i shall call julie from now on) was CC'd on the message. i decided to try to get a preview of who my partner was going to be, so i did a facebook search for this julie + last name. i found one result, and the first thing i see when i go to julie's profile is under favorite books it has only one entry: the bible. i don't ascribe to any religion by any means, but i could sense that this was going to define something about her.

so whatever, i start the job and we meet and she seems nice enough. almost too cheery, like super duper excited about everything, never swears, just seems way to uppity for me. for the first month we trained and made the presentation and learned how to use the robots we were to demo and everything was (pretty much) fine, minus a few little nuances about her personality that just bugged the shit out of me. we go off, give our first couple of presentations and they go over really great. then on the third day of presentations she makes me want to dive head first off of the stage and crack my fucking head open...

when we begin our presentations we start by introducing ourselves, the company, what we're gonna be talking about and showing them, etc. now, in transition to our next slide where we start showing actual robots and showing movies and stuff, she goes:

"adam and i, we love robots. but you know what else we love? you guys! because you guys are the future!"

my jaw almost dropped the first time she did this, as every child in the audience (i believe they were middle schoolers) just burst out in laughter. i had to somehow recoup from this and just continued with the presentation like it never happened. she continued this trend for the rest of our time working together, and i never felt like i could communicate the correct way to tell her to not say it. what was worse, was sometimes our presentations were only to say 10 kids in a classroom as opposed to an auditorium, and she pulled the same line to a group of HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. i almost fucking died.

the thing that urked me the most, was that julie was working on her education masters degree, and i just could not believe how disconnected she was with the world that she didn't realize how absolutely retarded she was making us look. i somehow feel that her being a mormon added to this behavior

YAY

I had a boss like that, hated that woman

That sound like the worst thing ever, short of her pulling a gun on you.

oh, part of our presentation involved talking about robot "commands" and i remember sometimes she would say "commandments" which i thought was hilarious

GW you should have watched Rushmore for Jason Schwartzmann. He's pretentious and you would identify with that fucker

I've hated that guy for years. You can get a good whiff of that pretentiousness just by looking at him.

I love that montage. Especially Bill Murray walking with the bolt cutters.

wait what
I want to know more.

I think you hate his whole family......meanwhile I love his whole family.

Also, GW should have watched Slackers.

The only movie I don't like with Jason Schwartzman in it is Marie Antoinette

edit: wrong title

Fuck this guy. Fuck him and double fuck him for liking R.A. Salvatore and Keystone Light, fucking nerdy idiot.

non-sequitur

Sweater vest wearing hipster douche.

What do the pickles under our avatars represent?

When I die and go to hell, Jason Schwartzman is going to be at the entrance to greet me

epeen

Just post count nonsense?

rep nonsense. Those scales on the top-right corner of people's posts.

Oh. So, if people don't like you then you get red pickles, but if they do like you then green pickles?

that's how it works or something.

Message boreds suck

THE NUMBER OF PICKLES YOU HAVE DETERMINE WHO YOUR PARTNER IS IN THE SEASONAL TWO-MAN SACK RACE.

Hey, I'll get in a sack with any of you as long as our pickles don't touch.

awww yiss

click on user cp at the top of the page and you can see who gave stuff to you

FUCK YEAH, FATHOM


YOU THE MAN




SAM NEIL




YEAH

I hope I have enough pickles to be Sam's partner.

Can be cashed in for a bigger pickle

i wanna be sam's partner. step off *****.

My pickle empire was built on a shaky foundation of Indian buses and penis cakes :(

Sam sent me bourbon once in the mail. That shows his commitment to me.

A man that braves the ATF is a friend to keep forever.

He's the kind of guy you want to hop into a potato sack with

Pfft. Sam would have to either be with me, MattJack, or HickMan. I doubt any of the rest of you tore it up on XBL as a team. Before dear HickMan joined the military, we had a gay ol' time telling our teammates about Pantera in Halo 3.

If your pickle were soaked in kool-aid, what flavor would you pick?

That's totally a Dating Game question in the making.

I'd go for Sharkleberry Fin. I'm not sure how good it would soak in, but it would have a mellow pink color I would hope.

I lost scores of pickles in a wasteful red pickle war against Esuohlim. I'm now trying to build up my reserves for when Pentegarn finally snaps and just votes down everything I say.

one day a federal agent will ask one of you why i GIS for pokemon bondage pictures.
and when that day comes, i want you to tell them absolutely nothing.
unless you are a recipient of my home-made birthday cards.

IT'S WHAT WE WANT

I'll pm you my address when I get it.

Don't worry Zhukov, for being the bigger man here I'll make sure to even it back out again

ALSO, I was literally waiting like four days to finally see this post:

All this pickle talk makes me think about the gym teacher from high school high.

so has GW really disappeared since that guy from lulzsec was apprehended who looked just like him

are we playing a game?!!? this page is so exciting

els, I've been worried sick. You've been out all month.

I am fucking stupid and under the influence right now andpost shit in the wrong thread.

He looks more like 10k than Cate Blanchett.

On page 3500 we cure cancer.

I thought you were gone!

I'll post a link to the article in the "Science!" thread, when I find it again. :disorganized

Ruined.

lol

I saw that edit you snuck in there. :rolleyes

NOPE

Yeah, I was giving you rape prevention advice for each of the characters, but then I remembered who I was talking to and figured you would enjoy it.

Because if there is one thing I enjoy, it's a hot dicking from animator Don Carlson from Portland, Oregon.

This is not the chat thread, if you want to go on and on about hair cuts you are more than welcome to quote him, copy it and past it in chat thread. Or at least try to be entertaining in here.

see what I did

I am aware it's not a chat thread, but thanks for taking the time to point that out, really. I'm talking about people's haircuts whose pictures were on this thread. I don't know if you've noticed but not everyone cares that this isn't a chat thread.

I don't need to be the least bit entertaining to anyone, that's what you're for :D

He's going to follow you around and give you red pickles all day now. :(

OH NO GUESS ITS TIME TO QUIT THE INTERNET

If you would be so kind, but remember that no one's making you.

Don's turned everyone all angry and bitter towards the internet lately. I miss the happier times.

That was sarcasm by the way. I don't think I want to stop posting. I'm actually happy people take the time to read my posts instead of scrolling past them and ignoring them. I'll sleep easier tonight knowing that somewhere in this world, people find some level of discomfort in the things I post. I made a difference!

Don't give him that much credit. It's not getting laid and everyone's fake "internet ego"

Like when aren't here?

When who isn't here?

ADMIT EDIT FOR PAGEZAK

NEGATIVE REP FOR NOT PAGEZAKKING

Glad you pointed that out. Why it's you of course! It's funny because you seem to be under the impression that Don is what makes us not like you. You were never liked from the beginning. I believe it all started when you thought you tried to fit in with the whole zombie thing, then you wanted to be just like RoG. I can't think of one original thing about you. You are even copying Pram's defense style. God dam, even Pram is more original than you. That's pretty sad.

You're calling me Pram? Dang, that's cold.

Not the internet, you greasy little ass-kisser, just you. Nice avatar, by the way. :picklehat :picklehat :picklehat :picklehat :picklehat :picklehat :picklehat :picklehat :picklehat :picklehat :picklehat :picklehat :picklehat :picklehat :picklehat :picklehat

I bet Mockery is thinking "Boy, that Nick sure is cool. I should invite him to assist me in my next I-Mockery project! Pickle power!" But that's usually when you violently cum and wake up, right?

No, he's calling you worse than Pram.

Oh. :(

I try to be nice and polite to everyone on here. I always try to make sure to comment on article, weeklies, and forum topics, because people work hard on those and I think it's nice to at least try to give them any sort of input back. I love taking part in cool forum projects like the Exquisite Corpses and the Secret Santa exchange. If I'm a suck up just because I don't really find enjoyment in picking fights all the time, then that's cool. I'm just here to pass some time and have some fun.


I'm really not into the whole grudge match thing and having to explain yourself to other people. This is probably why I keep to art and games most of the time. :\

You're kidding yourself if you think that you wouldn't say something to someone like Pram if you ever had anything worth saying. It's just that you don't and never have.

Your pickle obsession is disconcerting.

Edit: And now you're trying to "get back" at people by giving them red pickles. You can't even do that. You're bottom of the chain, see?

Pram was very rude to everyone, so he sort of deserves what ever you guys threw at him. Mocking people because of whatever disability they may have is pretty much the lowest way to insult someone. Go find a post where I have been malicious to anyone other than members who already fucked up big, like Pram or zeldasbiggestfan.

So what if I think Pickleman is cool? I think I-Mockery is a really great site. Are you going to give me grief for also buying the merchandise the guy's have put out as well? I enjoy supporting the sites I like.


edit
Aw shit, can a mod move all of this stupid shit to the chat thread or something? I didn't notice this was the Picture thread. Sorry.

what

See, I knew it. :lol

GW your mom is hot. :love

:eek :eek :eek

Okay, did I miss some sort of drama and Nick is trying to irritate us with that sig, or is he just being generous and happily sharing his jerking-off material


It's like a cat dropping a dead animal in your bed as a present

so what should i add to my netflix queue

Bronson.

Big Man Japan (大日本人). It is basically a spoof of the giant super heroes of Japan, told in documentary form. Follows a guy who comes from a family that has been fighting monsters for generations. The main character is more loathed by society than celebrated, unlike his predecessors. Funny stuff. The main character is played by a famous Japanese comedian, Hitoshi Matsumoto.



Think you can watch it online through the netflix site.

I've been meaning to watch that.

Netflix has some great Thai martial arts movies. I think they have all three Ong Baks streaming.

Yeah my brother saw Big Man Japan and said it was fantastic.


The 2011 Australian Census just got delivered today. I'm thinking I wont put Jedi as religion this year as there are rumors they are fining people this time :/

big man japan added. netflix just had dane cook in my "top 10 picks for adam" :<

DO IT, OR YOU AIN'T NO KIND OF MAN.

$500 is a lot of money to be fined. I will admit to being slightly worried.

He changed it back, but I, for one, will not forget that visual assault.

Lest we forget.

I hadn't changed my avatar or sig since 2007, I thought I'd try something new and put something silly up. Sorry. :(
