Speaking, of course, about your dear friend and mine, Ultra Magnus, whose dry wit and humor has been absent this board for almost the past week.

Did we actually scare him away?

If so, then the lucky bastard gets off a month before I do. He's still in high school, methinks. Which brings up the total of Canadian high school-aged board members to 2, at my count. Woo-hoo!

Well, obviously, he was counting UM. And the other person would have to be himself. So, no, I'd say he didn't count you.

If you did NOT count me, bump that number up to 4!.......Wait. I'm not Canadian. Not yet anyways. With all that the United States government gave me, as soon as I'm old enough, I'm going to give my government something back. My citizenship! I swear I'm not joking either! With Bush in office it's best my brother and I leave the country before he really gets up to speed with screwing up this country more than it already is screwed up. Man. I'm sorry. I'm being very long winded!

Part of me is a high school student. The rest of me is an insane college student living life in the wackiest ways imaginable.

I just finished my last final exams this past Saturday. Yes, two finals on Saturday. One in Western World Civilization and the other in Macroeconomics. Sadists are running my university.

To every on Flare dealing with finals: good luck!

It looks like Ultra Magnus has left us. It has been two weeks since his last post. Let us mourn for the departed Canadian turnip. His sarcasm will be deeply missed.

Well, dear fictional deity! When'd all these twenties get in here?

Posted by MC Infinity (Member # 531) on :

Can I have some.... Please..... They don't even need to be nuclear carriers... I'll settle for an interceptor... Or better yet, a tank!! I've always wanted to have a tank. Just drive up to the school, faced with the fact that there is no parking available, so I'll just park over that rich boy's BMW convertible, and when he comes to yell at me, just turn the barrel around, point it at him, and then: "You were saying??"

This is the stuff dreams are made of...

Posted by akb1979 (Member # 557) on :

Me! Me! I want a go on the tank!

Say, Infinity and Gaseous Anomaly, can I pleeeeeeeease have a go when you've finished? I'd really like to point the barrel of a tank at some gits over here in the UK!

Erm, would I have to pay for the fuel and the ammunition that I use?

No, it's mine, all mine!! Get your own!!
LOL J/K, you can have a go on the tank, but only when I'm done, I still see a few walls of my school standing, but it shouldn't take more than another 30min. And the same goes for akb, you can have a go as well, but tell me what you'll be destroying, so I'll be sure to get my personal possessions out of the way.
