The Energon Pub

This has the potential to become an awkward conversation if Iddon't impart a bit about myself.

Yes, I like stuff!

I'm one of those old farts who grew up on G1 Transformers (I was in Jr high when it came out), now my almost 4 year old is hooked on them too ( he's my little Deception) so we watch a lot of TF of all kinds. And well, I get to play with his toys... (I never will grow up). Some kids have teddy bears, my youngest goes to sleep with Shockwave.

Otherwise life is a never ending cycle of hauling kids around, playing video games (oldest is hooked on Minecraft) with kids, and making dinner. So I entertain myself in with the occasional Xbox game (Transformers, of course, it entertains both boys) and confusion on chronological orderof Facebook posts, semi adult conversation (my theory being adulthood is just a ruse we put on) on messageboards. Though honestly I should try to stay away from people who take themselves too seriously as I tend to end up exasperated by them (I willbe careful here) and drifting off.

Oh and of course music. I spend a great deal of time listening to music (industrial, darkwave/dark electro, and goth, as I'm sure the question of what kind would come up)

So, you like stuff?

Have you ever seen a Drop Bear fight a Hoop Snake?

I'll tell you right now, it's no walk in the park. But the trick is to get in first--get in before the bastard rolls in too close to fly at you and surprise you with a bite on the...posterior.

Hi, new person. I hope you stick around long enough to enjoy what this site has to offer.

Oh things are good. Doing stuff and things at the same time, very thrilling.

Hi Drop Bear, nice to meet you. And if the situation arises that you are fighting a hoop snake, let me know, I'll be there to cheer you on (I'm not a fan of snakes)

Whoever wins, we all die.

Hi, I'm new here as well. In this thread, anyway.

Burn wrote:Whoever wins, we all die.

Oooo I like the ominous sound of that. Impending doom and destruction of everyone makes me feel all fuzzy and stuff.

And hello to you too Rodimus

Hey, welcome to the boards. Would it be rude if I said I have a certain male appendage?

We need a new warning to scare the new guys, our previous one,

WARNING: Seibertron.com contains nuts!

...doesn't do any more.

I am a woman in a house full of men. Male appendages don't phase me in the least I am constantly around them. So no... not rude

And to be fair... I've been lurking... I'm already aware of the way you all are around here. And yet I chose to introduce myself... humm... *questions mental state*

Have you ever painted a house?

Inside or out? Inside, yes. Outside no... though I considered it briefly a few weeks ago..

ctrlFrequency wrote:Outside no...

I don't think we can be friends ...

Not *everyone* is obsessed with neighborhood improvement. Vanity is an unattractive trait, Burn.

Besides, in Cleveland, going outside for any reason is not a good idea. Really. It's like Detroit without pro sports championships.

So, you new kids have to pay the entry fee. Fork over $5 to anyone who signed up 2002 or prior. $10 if your name is in green...

It's generally a bad idea to paint vinyl or brick though. Also landlords frown upon it.
However we are in the process of buying a house, it does have wood siding on the top half, it will need painted, I will do it.

Rodimus, Detroit is worse than Cleveland! (Not much worse....)

Shadowman... The check is in the mail. Really, I promise I posted it.

If I gave you 12 pieces of bacon, what would you do with it?

Make club sandwiches.

ctrlFrequency wrote:Make club sandwiches.

The correct answer is "grab another dozen pieces, throw them on the bbq and fry them up for Burn".

I'm sorry, this just isn't going to work out.

I'll turn in my resignation at the front desk.
I'm sorry....

*sullenly heads out and then slips off into the shadows to hide*

Front desk is closed. Budget cuts.

I guess you're stuck with me then.

Yeah it is, though Cleveland always seems to have more construction. Detroit has more gangs, though.

12 pieces of bacon = 2 Baconators. And welcome to page 2.

Wait... construction ISN'T normal?
Nuh uh... I don't believe it. It's an important part of nature. Rip out bridge, tear down entire block, spend 7 months rebuilding, tear down again.
It's nature... life cycle.

I've been experimenting with putting different things in meatball subs. The last was pepperoni and salami which, as it turns out, was goddamn glorious. Why I hadn't considered bacon is beyond me, but I plan to correct that mistake or die trying.

Most likely I'll die from a heart attack immediately after, but at least I'll have tired.

Also in regards to Cleveland, I submit this tourism video:



It gets funnier now that you don't have Lebron James...

It's funny because it's true.

And your meatball sub idea has merit. Now, we need to think of ideas how to replace the sub with actual meat. Like maybe big flat pieces of ham.
