lucabrasi:@ lucabrasi: Mind yo biz dude. Keep shaking the head, I'm sure you come from the Agama family-tree Me thinks she's still around but I keep having this nagging fear she's gone and said something Uncle Seun just couldn't stomach, thus attracting the axe. . . again. But boy, do I miss that sassy, devil-may-care sista. Sisikill, Baby_Jinx, Sisi_Jinx, Sisikilll, whatever, I loved her in all her reincarnations (and her twin, too) - and I'm sure a lot of others did. Hey V, where u at? Come lend me a hanky |

Abeg, i just had to resurrect this thread, it reads like the story of my life. I started out with a small novel my dad gave when I was like 7 or 8, The Boy Doctor - can't remember the author. Since then, there was no turning back. My toilet reading was legendary; I had kid brother then, a year plus, he would poop in his Winnie the Pooh plastic thingy, and the stuff would have to stay by the toilet door for HOURS because I still hadn't come out! Used to drive my mum bananas. I mean, Sheldon, Grisham, Puzo, King, Dickens, Austen, Asimov, Terry Brooks, Kipling, you name it, I read them all - I liked them all, never had a category, except for romance but I did read some really crazy porn magz . Even went into poetry for a while - Tennyson and some of them greek oldies - Homer and Virgil. Forgotten most of 'em now though.I don't like to admit it, but sometime in my teens I actually became adept at stealing novels, and not just from people. I stole from libraries, bookstores and novel vendors - right under the sellers' very nose - and I never got caught! Funny thing is later on, I'd developed a bad conscience and then I'd have to save up what I felt was the price of the book and give to a beggar, or as offering in church, though I always felt the prices were inflated so I never actually gave out much. I eventually stopped in my final year in school - stole a stupid book I really regretted reading; I had to smuggle it back into the library. Used to come to the exam hall with thick-spined novels back then; it sure used to infuriated my friends - poor fellas were still trying to jack their notes.Oh yeah, and how about when there was no light? Nearly developed eye problems reading with my nokia 1100 torch-light. Man, those were the days. Don't read that much anymore, going to work and all. Dam n. |
epi: epi:You're blowing hot and cold, lady. And by the way, Laws were made to broken - Isaac Asimov. |
Owh, come oooOON! No sharp retorts? No scratched faces and fingernail marks? Of course epi is talking about you, Tgirl - who else is there? (Sisi and Blue have gone on vacation, you know) So what's this "Hehehe . . . . lol" thing? Girl you should screaming blue murder, not laughing out loud! Well, at least epi still has her fists balled - Internet Boyfriend Snatcher! - her confused tenses and pronouns not withstanding. Tgirl4real:Yea, epi reminds me someone too ![]() |
You know epi, I never thought you this diplomatic; i'm suprised you haven't sniggered at someone yet. And all those nice, wise sayings, mmh. But I wish you hadn't added that horoscope thingy; it's too cynical, see. And its spoiling your thread's diplomatic, respectable, "un-epi-like" image. But hey, its just my opinion. And my own home-made inspirational quote: I wasn't here for a long time; I was here for a good time. Like someone we all know says, NO LONG TING!! ![]() |
Well, even OBJ sometimes said wise things on TV ![]() |
epi:Well, well, its ladies' fight, abi? I like ladies' fight. Listen to the start-up:It’s obvious she is in need of a good d**k and even Steven Wonder can see she wants yours . . . Boy, does she pack a punch! I wonder how Tgirl's gonna reply - hopefully a crazy left-hook. And you Blaze, hope you aren't thinking of chickening-out on this one. Don't even think of disappointing me on this man. Heck, i dare you - i double-dare you to take this without a come-back!! Mmmh. Ok, enter Level 3 of the Rant Thread. You know. . . Level 1: Ranter ranting at himself; Level 2: Ranters ranting at the world; Level 3: Ranters being ranted at. Sweet ![]() |
I like quotes too, got a couple here: - Never judge someone on the basis of what you can see; the absence of evidence is not an evidence of absence - Samuel L. Jackson. - Behind every successful man is a woman who believes that there is a woman behind every successful man. (can't remeber where i read that) - There are opportunities everywhere; the only problem is that they are dressed in coveralls and look like work. And my personal favorite: Don't be greedy, half a loaf is better than chin-chin! |
I've got two remarks: 1. It's kinda strange that Sisikill hasn't reported to this thread, what with its title and gory contents and all - or has she gotten her fine behind banned again? 2. It's also interesting that most of y'all who say you couldn't sleep, was so scared, etc., after watching a horror flick are females. Now, before y'all un-hatch your hatchets and h a c k me to death, THAT WAS JUST AN OBSERVATION, NOTHING MORE! Hmm. ![]() Now, i dont know if this applies to anybody else, but i can't recall any "horror" film i didn't have a sound night's rest after watching; fact is most of them bore me these days - the whole Freddy/Jason wagon, Alien (1,2,3, and AVP), Evil Dead, Scream, The Shining, (personally I think Shining was stupid, but hey thats just my opinion ), The Ring, The Exorcism - um, ok the Exorcism gave me some food for thought, but that was it. Funny enough, its the non-horror ones that keep me awake late into the night. Movies like The Ghost and The Darkness (pair of lions chewing up folks somewhere in East Africa), The Last Don (i keep replaying in my head that scene where Pepe strangles that fella, whatis name, Dante's father), and The Terminator (just the first flick, mind; Judgement Day was ok shaa, but that last one would've done better as a cartoon). You know, in my opinion [i]Terminator I [/i]was a horror film - sure scared the shit outta me when I first watched it back then. I mean, you take one look - just one look! - at this dude and you know he's got only one thing in mind - to put as many lead shots into you as possible, and every last bit of him is aware and committed to that bizness. Jeepers. |
ariblaze: ![]() Actually, I came here to rant but I got so amused reading y'all comments i forgot what i wanted to rant about. . . almost like being in the jokes section ![]() |
ariblaze:Nice to have you back, Rantsta! I assure you that all I've said, I said in an selfless and voluntary bid to get you back on your feet - you know, raving and ranting as usual; God forbid that I get into a Cussing Contest with you! I do enough of that in real life - and I never seem to get the last word on any issue! I do have a large repertoire of smart come-backs and smart-aleck sayings, but somehow I never remember any of them until long after the other person has walked away - that is, after delivering a terrible bombshell of words on me. ![]() |
[quote author=St.Funmi link=topic=238093.msg3505526#msg3505526 date=1235416558]They didn't give any award to Jide Kosoko?. I smell tribalism and racism here.[/quote]I concur!! ![]() |
vescucci: epi:Hey guys, I'm a nice good non-aggressive person - really, I am. I NEVER speak the F-word, never. I only type it. ![]() And check out, Blaze is yet to make an appearance; this is really REALLY serious ![]() |
Well, well, well. It's almost 5 days now and the Rantster hasn't ranted yet; wonder what's wrong with his temper. . . I mean, he's ok when his temper is blazing; so whenever he isn't like that, something MUST be wrong. Mmmh, maybe he just lost his impetus, his drive, his chi force - and he probably needs help reviving it! Hang on Rantalot, I'll help you! Here, listen: You're an ass-wipe Blaze, A complete freaking error in nature You are just a useless burden on the back of Mother Earth. Jeez, Blaze, for once you've made the right decision: You've decided to quit ranting and cussing - not like you even good at it And you'd better continue in that direction Dragging your fat, green sucker's tail along between you legs. I swear man, if I ever see you post on this thread again, I will put a jihad on you! I will put a jihad on you so bad, you gonna hear your own soul screaming for help! So you'd better do like you are told And bleeping Bleep-off this bleeping thread, bleeper!! There, that should do it. Wheeoo, that took a lota energy, just hope it wasn't wasted ![]() |
bluespice:You spreading enough misery here, blu! I have a hunch I'll have to start my own rant thread if i give you that Just kidding tho, check my profileariblaze:Indeed!! |
ariblaze:Totally wicked!! ![]() @ blu: Where've i been? I've busy - busy - BUSY!!! I remember vowing to quit weeks ago; I'm afraid i didn't have the gumption to do it afterall |
Umm, sorry to butt-in but it seems to me like Sisi and Blue have switched personas. I mean, the Sisi I remember is just sarcastic - jokingly sarcastic, I might add; while Bluspice is something of regular "Domitila" (hey V, help me out here!). So, no offense meant Mr Rantalot, but don't you think (figuratively speaking, of course ) that you're tilting at the wrong windmill? |
I bet the remaining 5 points will be Hajara, Rafiat, Ka'faya, Habiba, and Aminatu!! |
@ Sisi, Sauron, all the other Bond-lovers: It was a good fight; I gotta admit Sisi's post of Bond-Bourne analysis was quite balanced. So Craig comes around with the last two 007s - all mean and bony-faced, thus successfully banishing decades of effeminate Bond characters - and now y'all think Bond wins, abi? Cool, whatever. It's a question of preference anyway. @ V: You're right man, let's go have a drink. All this Bond-Bourne argument is making me thirsty. Hey Karma, you're invited too! What's it gonna be - Campari? Hennessey? Or Bailey's, the drink of the ladies? Take a pick, and I'm your man! ![]() |
Alright Sauron, I apologize for calling you names. My bad, aight? My bad. But take a while and look at your argument: First you used toys and gadgets to paint Bond as the better spy - implying that the best spy should have lots of "whizzamiz-gizzmojos". But you forgot to consider what would happen if all that stuff were taken away! Let me give you an analogy: imagine a student who regularly goes into exams armed with "chukulee" He'd must likely pass all his papers in flying colors. But what happens when his "arsenal of microchips" is taken away?? He would certainly fail - fail so badly, he'd be branded the "baba-olodo" of the class!!And that's what happened to Bond when he was captured in Die Another Day - the poor schmuck had never been in such situation before! He didn't have any smart toy to call into play; he was totally helpless. God, 007 saw hell in that film!! But check out Jason Bourne. The smart fella has never had need of toys and gadgets (or "microchips and chukulee" , and so he's never had to rely on them - he DOESN'T need them! C'mon Sauron, if you had to choose between two agents on whom to trust you life, which one would you choose - the one who uses "chukulee" or the one who doesn't?? ![]() |
C'mon doyin, thought we were being serious now. If we begin talk wetin 007 take style get, this thread no go contain am!! [quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=215943.msg3422681#msg3422681 date=1233704345]James Bond is all about class. . . . .Jason Bourne, i am afraid, has no class. Where are the gadgets? The automobiles? The watch? The women?? Cheese n Rice. . . . .James Bond even went to the moon to save planet Earth. [/quote]And what happens when the gadgets and toys are taken away? Pierce Brosnam already gave you the answer in Die Another Day - he came out of jail looking like a younger brother to Homo Erectus Bond went to the moon to save earth, abi? Sure. Say that long enough and you might even believe it, olodo!! ![]() |
I heard someone say something about giving respect where it's due; fine, let's do it. Let's all stem our egos a little and separate spades from shovels. https://commanderbond.net/resources/sections/news/images/qos_teaser2/qos_teaser2_small.jpg James Bond aka Agent 007 is an icon in the spy-movies genre; he's been around for decades, survived some really ugly - and I mean oooogg-leeey - depictions, and is the only make-believe spy with the legendary Licence To Kill. It is a fact, and nobody can take it away. Agent 007 is simply suave; he puts a certain finesse to the whole secret agent theme. Some folks think he's a bit effeminate, but Pierce Brosnam put that idea to rest with GoldenEye. Daniel Craig, the newest member of the 007 legacy, isn't bad either (compared to some really horrible predecessors that I can think of); he was a bit of an idiot in Casino Royale, but Quantum of Solace came out just fine. And these last two 007 installments prove that Mr. Bond sure as hell can kick ass - positively brutal, if you ask me. Kudos to him. Oh, and did I forget: the ladies just can't get enough of Mr. Bond! Or should I say, Mr. Bond just can't have enough of the ladies? ![]() [img]http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTMxNjEwOTA3MV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTYwMTI5ODU3._V1._CR0,0,400,400_SS100_.jpg[/img] Jason Bourne, on the other hand, is a relatively young entrant to the hero-spy world - lotsa folk before him: Bleep, Ethan Hunt (Mission: Impossible), etc - but in that short time, he has created a formidable reputation of being a no-nonsense secret-agent - the best kind of secret agent, if we will tell ourselves the truth. And Bourne had two extra qualities that endeared him to most spy-movie watchers (but not ALL ): 1. He tackled a severe case of amnesia AND the entire machinery of an arm of the CIA - and NEVER lost his wits for a second ("cucumber-cool", as my bros would say). 2. Jason Bourne was a man-alone; he was a dis-avowed agent, in the mold of Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt - he was framed-up, chased, and hunted by assassins as good as he was (this is something 007 has never experienced), yet Bourne always survived. He was like the proverbial cat with nine lives - the guy just WON'T die! Plus the guy was a regular gentleman - he fell in love like any ordinary guy, had his doubts about his woman, and in the end love won out - this makes his character more sincere, more factual, more REAL. Now, please folks, stand back and appraise these two guys; compare their histories, their strength of character, the cinematography and paparazzi behind them, their conformance to the roles they are supposed to portray - and my favorite - their reactions to personal loss (Craig upon losing Eva Green in Casino Royale, and Damon after losing Marie in The Bourne Supremacy). Compare all these, and HONESTLY say who's the better spy. The answer, as we all know deep down, is JASON BOURNE. Plus Bourne can kick Bond's ass any day ![]() |

Sam Milla:Haba Sammy! And here was I already thumping my chest as No.1 Most Read LIT-NL member Thing is, if i begin add the ones i've watched (as in movies), my list fit reach 100 ![]() Hey V, u didn't say how many u've read. Don't tell me you skipped literature classes in high school. . . Eze Goes To School, Silas Marner, Anthills of the Savanna, Arms and the Man, The Maids Are Not To Blame, She Stoops To Conquer, etc ![]() |
Mmh! Quite a list, and i haven't read even ONE of the 2000's. I must be way behind times I've read about 41 of the rest shaa - 17 of the 1900's, 33 of the 1800's, and 1 of the 1700's - Hyperion, wonderful sci-fi.Gamine, where did u get this list? You said you've read only 25, so i know you didn't make it up yourself There are some books i was expecting to see on the list - like Stephen King's Tommyknockers (it's even better than The Shining), Michael Critchton's Jurassic Park, and Ursula Le Guin's Left Hand of God.(B T W, #262 is Westward Ho!, not Worstward Ho - read it way back in secondary school - bunch of English sailors went on an expedition and spent the rest of the novel trying to fight their way back home. And #866 is Moby D i c k; Oga Seun's bad word snifter must've changed it to "Moby privates" ![]() |
