The person above me thread

[Iroquois]

You got me there, I just didn't have anything to say immediately.

[Harry Lime]

Yesterday was Canada D'eh.

[Iroquois]

What does Canada Day commemorate?

[Harry Lime]

Basically the day we became a country. It was in 1867 so that makes us 142. But those dang Brits still did hold some power over us until 1982, although by then it was just certain formalities. When's Australia Day, or the equivalent?

[7thson]

the canuks above me have me cunfused.

[Harry Lime]

That's why Canada exists, to confuse Americans like TPAM.

[Iroquois]

Australia Day is January 26, 1788 - essentially the day that the Brits first properly settled in Australia, using the area that is now known as New South Wales for a penal colony.

In a faintly amusing way, the indigenous population and certain members of the non-indigenous population prefer to call it Invasion Day. Guess why...

[Harry Lime]

Invasion Day, that's awesome. We still have the queen on some of our money.

[Iroquois]

Same, the Queen's head's on all the coins and if I recall correctly the $5 note.

[Harry Lime]

All of our coins too and the twenty over here.

[Iroquois]

That makes me wonder - do the French parts of Canada use the same money?

[Harry Lime]

Yes they do and Canada Day isn't too popular in certain parts of Quebec either. I've been to Montreal before, great city. I'd like to live there for awhile but should probably learn some French.

[Iroquois]

Doesn't sound like a bad idea.

[Harry Lime]

Great nightlife, culture, and seeing as most speak French you don't have to hear all that annoyingly inane conversation..heh heh.

[Iroquois]

Technically, you're still hearing it. You just won't understand it because it's in a different language.

[Harry Lime]

Very true. A lot of very nice looking women there too.

[Iroquois]

Oh, I see how it is now.

[Harry Lime]

You've been to Canada before, right? Where?

[Iroquois]

No, I haven't. When I mentioned it before, that was just a possibility - one that seems even more unlikely than it was when I mentioned it.

[Harry Lime]

I remember you saying you might make it out here for sure, but for some reason thought you'd said you'd been here before. If you ever do avoid Toronto, it sucks. Montreal or Vancouver are where it's at. A lot of Aussies in Van actually, I've known quite a few.

[Iroquois]

I'll take it under consideration. Vancouver forever, Toronto never.

[Harry Lime]

Vancouver has its problems, but its natural beauty more than makes up for it. Mountains and ocean.

[Iroquois]

Sounds pleasant enough.

[Harry Lime]

I'm gonna have to bail soon, gotta work tomorrow.

[Iroquois]

So do I, but tomorrow's a while away for me.

[TONGO]

TPAM should be excited cause after work its the 4th of july weekend.

http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/020717/9214__rs_l.jpg

JOY!

[Harry Lime]

See ya later.

edit: TPAM thinks TPATPAM is American, heh heh.

[Iroquois]

Later, TPAM.

TPATPAM, guess what - we don't get a 4th of July weekend on this continent.

[TONGO]

Later, TPAM.



TPATPAM, guess what - we don't get a 4th of July weekend on this continent.
http://www.freewebs.com/starstruckdezines/animation_ren-stimpy1.gif

I apologize to TPAM. Shoulda looked at the region first. Planet Caravan...coulda swore it was near toledo...

[Iroquois]

It certainly isn't in your hemisphere, if that's any help.

[n3wt]

TPAM is above me and im sure he will post under me aswell :D

[honeykid]

TPAM is wrong. :D

[n3wt]

Damn Tpam :)

[TheDOMINATOR]

TPAM swore.

[eMilee]

tpam, thats swearing???

[Swan]

TPAM ran an eMile.

[eMilee]

tpam, you think u are soooooooo funny!! remind me to laugh later!!

[n3wt]

TPAM has 3 E's in her name.

[eMilee]

tpam has 3 in his name... must be his lucky number

[honeykid]

TPAM can hear now. :)

[eMilee]

tpam, uh what u say????????

[Classicqueen13]

the person above me seems confused :confused:

[Iroquois]

TPAM hasn't posted much in this thread.

[Miss Vicky]

TPAM has the awesome Steve Buscemi (in a scene from The Big Lebowski) as his/her avatar but does not have The Big Lebowski on their list of favorite movies.

[Iroquois]

While TPAM actually does have The Big Lebowski on her list of favourites, she does not have a matching avatar.

[Miss Vicky]

TPAM is just as unremarkable as everyone else.

[Iroquois]

TPAM has looked at my profile.

[Harry Lime]

Does TPAM think the joker laughs at him?

[Iroquois]

Guess not.

More importantly, do I care?

[Harry Lime]

TPAM, it's only a partial line from a song, thought you knew it. Goo goo g'joob?

[Iroquois]

You may not believe this but I barely even know the song. I'm just quoting the movie.

[Harry Lime]

Is it just me or has their been an influx of really lame new members on the forum lately? It's probably just me but if I had a dollar for every post that I wanted to negative rep simply for its stupidity I'd have a lot of dollars.

[Iroquois]

Name five such members. Post or PM or whatever.

[Swan]

TPAM I've been putting up posters for the past two hours, my legs HURT.

[Harry Lime]

What has TPAM been putting up posters for?

TPATPAM: If you haven't noticed don't worry about it.

[Iroquois]

I've noticed a bit, but yeah.

[Harry Lime]

I'm off to watch Jarmusch's Night on Earth, looks interesting.

[Swan]

Because my walls are empty TPAM.

[Iroquois]

What posters did you get?

[Swan]

I'm just putting up all the ones I already have.

[Iroquois]

Ah, what I should've said was, "What's on the posters?"

[Swan]

There are so many TPAM.

[Iroquois]

Aw, you're no fun.

[Swan]

I have more Simpsons up than anything else, after that more Pink Floyd than anything else, then WALL-E.

Also Hard Day's Night, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Animal House, etc...

[Iroquois]

Not bad choices at all.

[Swan]

Thank you TPAM

[Iroquois]

You're welcome, TPAM.

[n3wt]

TPAM is going to try and feature the same actor in all his avatars this week, good luck mate im looking forward to the changes :up:

[TONGO]

N3wt (the awful Brad Pitt av)

TPAM needs to change his av asap. I googled "pure suckage" and that av came up. No offense, but with an av like that youre looking like one of REMs shiny happy people.

[n3wt]

TPAM obviously has no idea about the movie theme week :nope:

[TONGO]

TPAM is right, and I feel great shame.

[n3wt]

TPAM made me lol with his last post, maybe you should join in sir?

[Iroquois]

TPAM is trying to convince TPATPAM to join in on a club - rather fitting, considering who's in his avatar.

[regnif]

TPAM probably likes the big lebowski...dooooooh :D

[Iroquois]

Gee, what makes you think that may be a possibility?

[TONGO]

So TPAM is this the Boy In Stryped Pajamas Review Club? There seems to be a few.

[Iroquois]

Actually, no, it's not an actual club, I just said that because I thought it sounded better.

But yeah, anyone can join in and make an avatar related to the week's theme.

[Classicqueen13]

TPAM is the Walrus

[Iroquois]

TPAM is a classic queen.

[TheDOMINATOR]

TPAM is a walrus.

[Swan]

Gorillas are so cute TPAM.

[Classicqueen13]

TPAM's avatar is from a very funny movie. "D*mn, we're in a tight spot!"

[honeykid]

TPAM prays evey day.

[TheDOMINATOR]

TPAM nears his 2,000th post.

[TONGO]

I just saw the actor in TPAMs av when I rewatched Seabiscuit again. Great great movie.

[Classicqueen13]

TPAM is an unregistered user and really likes Seabiscuit

[Harry Lime]

TPAM is a registered user and hates Seabiscuit.

I've also noticed she always types in a different font.

[Classicqueen13]

TPAM is quite observant and the person above TPAM hasn't seen Seabiscuit

[Iroquois]

TPAM has only one favourite movie and surprisingly enough it's on my list too.

[Classicqueen13]

TPAM is on Planet Caravan

[Caitlyn]

The person above me likes to write... and should clue us in on what she likes to write... :)

[Classicqueen13]

TPAM made me smile, no matter how corny that sounds. :)

[Harry Lime]

TPAM isn't up to her usual font trickery.

[TheDOMINATOR]

TPAM does not participate in the theme game.

[Harry Lime]

TPAM participates but needs to change his user title. I'm thinking somewhere along the lines of "I'm cooperating here" or whatever the quote is.

[TheDOMINATOR]

TPAM has a very good suggestion there. For some reason, for these themes, I can never seem to pick out a user title until a couple days into the week.

[Iroquois]

TPAM isn't exactly punctual like that.

[n3wt]

TPAM has moved to Ghost City.

[Iroquois]

Correction - Ghost World, man. I don't really care much for cities.

[n3wt]

My bad TPAM whats it like there?

[Iroquois]

Full of alienation and cynicism.

You should probably try and check out the movie of the same name.

[n3wt]

I shall give it a go sir!

[Iroquois]

Good man! Not too sure if it's your kind of film judging from what I know about your tastes, but hey, never hurts to try something different.

[n3wt]

Not atall mate I enjoy most movies and genre's which is a good thing.

[Iroquois]

That's good to hear, although I'm not exactly much of a Ghost World fan myself, to be honest.

[n3wt]

Im going to check out a trailer now and read about it see if I would enjoy it.

[Iroquois]

Yeah.

On the plus side, it stars Steve Buscemi. :up:

[n3wt]

Its definatly worth a watch but I think my wife would like it more than me.

[Iroquois]

Hey, that way everybody wins.

[n3wt]

Indeed I will def pick it up when I see it next :up:

[Iroquois]

Good work, TPAM.

[TONGO]

TPAM! Will you please get back in the urn!
Oops sorry mixing this thread up with avatar one.

[Iroquois]

Doesn't matter, comment still fits fine.

[n3wt]

TPAM your phone is ringing.

[Iroquois]

"Thank you, Donny!"

[n3wt]

Your welcome!

[TheDOMINATOR]

TPAM is a very lucky father and husband by the looks. :)

[Classicqueen13]

TPAM has recently reviewed Transformers 2

[n3wt]

TPAM is a wannabe adventurer.

[Classicqueen13]

TPAM is THE Professional

[n3wt]

TPAM is classic...

[Iroquois]

TPAM has found somebody's secret CIA s***.

[n3wt]

TPAM is looking back at the camera.

[Iroquois]

TPAM isn't even looking at the camera.

[honeykid]

TPAM looks suspiciously like Mr. Pink. :yup:

[Harry Lime]

TPAM thinks Cameron Diaz was the best Charlie's Angel.

[Iroquois]

TPAM is obviously joking.

[Harry Lime]

TPAM reminded me that I needed to get some early Steely Dan.

[Iroquois]

Go for it, dude. It's not as great as I'd expected it to be, but it's decent.

[Swan]

TPAM is my fave character from Lebowski.

[Iroquois]

TPAM is in a tight spot.

[Harry Lime]

I've heard Steely Dan before, plus it's hard to turn down when it's free.

[Swan]

Rikki don't lose that number, TPAM.

[TheDOMINATOR]

TPAM may or may not like to move it move it.

[Iroquois]

TPAM is my slave, apparently.

[n3wt]

TPAM still hasnt answered his phone...

[Iroquois]

I see TPAM watched Night Watch recently - for a second I thought it was an adaptation of the Discworld novel, but yeah, I know it's not.

[TheDOMINATOR]

TPAM is in much pain.

[Swan]

So am I, TPAM.

[TheDOMINATOR]

Yes, TPAM, in the neck.

[Iroquois]

TPAM has an avatar from the same movie as me.

[Harry Lime]

TPAM has been sticking with Buscemi lately.

[Iroquois]

TPAM has been sticking with the same old avatar as always.

[Harry Lime]

TPAM thinks it's because I'm boring, if I remember correctly. heh heh. I must agree.

[Iroquois]

To be honest, dude, I can't imagine you changing it now so don't worry about it.

[Harry Lime]

I'm kidding around, not something I worry about, in fact I rarely worry.

[Iroquois]

Good, TPAM.

[Harry Lime]

TPAM changed his location. One could see into that as a statement.

[Iroquois]

Not really, I just liked the sound of it, and considering the use of Buscemi avatars, was rather fitting.

[Harry Lime]

It works. I wonder if some horror fans were upset to find out the movie they rented or went to didn't have any ghosts in it.

[Iroquois]

It's their fault for not seeing the poster.

Besides, ghosts aren't that scary, and Ghost World sounds like some kind of theme park.

[Ish1987]

Ghosts does not exist.. I'd know, I live in a 200 year old house. Renting the first floor of a small mansion. The room next to my bedroom has genuine 18th century furniture and OLD pictures from the land lady's deceased relatives all over the place. Sounds like a perfect ghost room too me, but nah.. Been living here for about a year.

My bedroom looks pretty darn neat tho with a plasma tv and a fireplace ;)

[Iroquois]

TPAM is a newcomer to this thread, it seems.

[TONGO]

TPAM has a bloody av, and is observant.

[Ish1987]

TPAM obviously thinks im ruining the thread, while im really making it one.
Replying to the same people over and over about nothing, go into politics why don't ya? :D I'm gonna leave now I think..

[Iroquois]

Good for you, TPAM.

[n3wt]

TPAM has a awesome new avatar!

[Spikez]

TPAM has a good eye for new avatars

[honeykid]

TPAM has a guy Fawkes mask.

[Iroquois]

TPAM has a great actor in his avatar.

[Harry Lime]

I like the way TPAM replied to another member earlier today in this thread.

[Iroquois]

Thank you, TPAM. Which way was that again?

[honeykid]

TPAM seems to be discovering blaxploitation movies. :cool:

[Iroquois]

It does seem that way, but I didn't rent any out this week. Guess I just wanted a couple of fixes of Dolemite.

[Harry Lime]

Good for you, TPAM.

[Iroquois]

I see what TPAM did there.

[n3wt]

TPAM has reviewed Bruno recently.

[Spikez]

TPAM loves burn after reading

[Iroquois]

TPAM - er, "loves has watched"?

[TheDOMINATOR]

TPAM has made a correction.

[Iroquois]

Technically, I didn't make a correction. I merely pointed out the error because I'm not entirely sure what the poster was trying to get across so I left it open for them to decide.

[TheDOMINATOR]

TPAM has just gotten all technical with me.

[Iroquois]

TPAM doesn't reckon woodchippers are fun.

[TheDOMINATOR]

TPAM said "reckon."

[Iroquois]

TPAM mustn't have been able to think of anything else to post.

[TheDOMINATOR]

With 800-some-odd (or something) posts in this thread, yeah--I'm beginning to run out of ideas. :D

[Iroquois]

I've managed to make double that and I'm not really running out of ideas. There's always something interesting about every TPAM.

e.g. TPAM is using an avatar from a film that isn't in his Top 100.

[TheDOMINATOR]

Ah, very nice! :) I'll need to focus my creativity more into this thread.

[Iroquois]

Or not. You can always just have rambling conversations with whoever the person above you is - nobody seems to mind or care.

[honeykid]

But does TPAM mind or care?

[Harry Lime]

Does TPAM mind or care if TPATPAM minds or cares?

[honeykid]

I don't mind or care, TPAM.

[Harry Lime]

That's why, TPAM pays no mind.

[Iroquois]

Does anybody in this thread mind?

[Harry Lime]

I forget what it was that we were supposed to, or not mind.

[Iroquois]

Fair enough, back to business as usual.

TPAM gets a lot of movies out from the library.

[Harry Lime]

I tell ya that library rules. There were two Melville films released on Criterion (Le Doulos and Le Deuxieme Souffle - hey, does anyone know why film titles in certain languages are supposed to be lower case except for names and the first letter? It just doesn't feel right to me so I never write it like that) that the library didn't have. So as I was passing through one time I just casually mentioned that they have a great collection but was wondering why they didn't have these two films yet seeing as they were Criterion. The librarian suggested I make a request on paper and give it to her, and what do you know they ordered them in less than a month. Pretty sweet.

[Iroquois]

Sounds pretty good - I don't even get Criterion DVDs here unless I find them badly overpriced in some specialist shop (e.g. AUD$60-$70 for the Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Criterion DVD), although I own a couple that I picked up in America.

Also, as for the lack of capital letters - who knows?

[Harry Lime]

I looked into it, our dollars are pretty much the same, 0.94CDN gets me 1.00AUD. That's pretty expensive for a DVD, but even on amazon.ca it sells for about $50.

[Iroquois]

Well, it is a Criterion release. I remember when I picked up a couple in America a couple of years back, they cost me US$60 or something like that. I remember it was a bit of a bargain because at that point the Australian dollar was more or less equal to America's so we got some good deals on stuff.

[Harry Lime]

That must have been back when the US dollar tanked, we were even with them too. So which Criterion DVDs do you have?

[TheDOMINATOR]

TPAM and I meet here once again!

Edit: damn.

[Iroquois]

TPAM was too slow.

To answer TPATPAM's question, I own Dazed and Confused and Slacker. Around the time I went over I was getting into Richard Linklater's works and Slacker was at that point unavailable in Australia, so I got it. I got Dazed because it's a fun movie and I wanted to check out the special features.

[Harry Lime]

Back when I had actual DVDs before the "incident" and my vowing never to buy a DVD ever again I had Do the Right Thing, Seven Samurai, Rashomon, Insomnia, The Third Man, Traffic and The Royal Tenenbaums. Now I probably have at least 100, all copies though.

[Iroquois]

"Incident"?

I'm intrigued, TPAM. Do tell.

[Harry Lime]

It's the incident that shall not be discussed.

Too bad about the spammer and not a mod in sight, we should be able to ban people.

[Iroquois]

Suit yourself. You know that just makes me more curious, though.

But yeah, if normal users were able to ban people then we'd have anarchy.

[Harry Lime]

Only certain "normal users", like you and I...heh heh.

[Iroquois]

Hehe, well you know if they ever really needed it then they'd consider it.

[Harry Lime]

An honorary Mod login for certain members to use when there aren't any Mods online and there's some spam to clean up.

[Iroquois]

I still reckon that'd have its fair share of problems, especially if it was open to anyone. If it's limited to a certain person or number of persons, there's bound to be some sort of competition and resentment involved.

[Harry Lime]

I know, I'm not thinking it's a feasible option or anything. I'd ban everyone and change posts, basically what you described earlier, a sort of mofo-anarchy.

By the way, that 30 minute version of Dazed and Confused is from The Song Remains the Same, and it's 27 minutes. At least I think that's the one you were referring to.

[Iroquois]

As in the movie The Song Remains The Same? Must investigate further.

[Harry Lime]

There's the movie and a double album, I have both but can't remember how long it is on the DVD. The album has it though so I'm betting it's on the DVD as well, in its entirety.

[Iroquois]

I should hope so.

[Harry Lime]

I'd check but I'm watching Seinfeld Season 7 right now.

[Iroquois]

Fair enough.

[7thson]

TPAM needs a big bandaid.

[Iroquois]

TPAM is bringing new meaning to the term "ashen-faced".

[7thson]

^ is cool...:)

[Iroquois]

Thanks, TPAM. By the way, the signature doesn't match the avatar anymore. Just letting you know.

[7thson]

To tpam: yeah but it is still a cool sig. ;)

[Harry Lime]

I agree with TPAM.

[Iroquois]

To be honest, so do I. Excellent deadpan delivery.

[Harry Lime]

Has TPAM ever seen Down by Law?

[Iroquois]

Yes, I have.

[Harry Lime]

I see. Well, I'm outta here, work and all in nine hours. Peace.

[Iroquois]

Alright, later TPAM.

[Harry Lime]

Now I'm outta here. I lied before, well not really.

[nebbit]

TPAM come back :yup:

[7thson]

TPAM is sexy. :yup:

[n3wt]

TPAM is pointing a gun at me.

[Iroquois]

TPAM is giving another person the axe.

[nebbit]

TPAM has a bloody mouth :yup:

[TONGO]

TPAM has an awesome av. 5/5
TPBM is refering to TPAM too.

[Iroquois]

TPAM has apparently opted out of the Movie Theme week. Not your style?

[n3wt]

TPAM scares me the way he stares like that :laugh:

[Iroquois]

Imagine how that guy feels in everyday life, TPAM.

Also, what's a guy with an axe got to be scared of?

[n3wt]

Its an inflatable axe TPAM :D

[Iroquois]

Of course you'd say that, but how would I know you were telling the truth?

[n3wt]

Let me boop you on the head once or twice and you can see :P

[Iroquois]

I'll pass.

[n3wt]

ahhhhh dammit!

[Iroquois]

Victory is mine, TPAM!

[n3wt]

With that stare yes it is TPAM

[TheDOMINATOR]

TPAM lives across that Pond.

[n3wt]

TPAM isnt a fan of wood chippers.

[TheDOMINATOR]

I want TPAM's mother-in-law's car. :D ;)

[Miss Vicky]

TPAM takes backwards photos.

[TheDOMINATOR]

TPAM joined less than a week ago.

[Classicqueen13]

TPAM doesn't find woodchippers fun

[TheDOMINATOR]

TPAM just typed in huge text, which startled me.

[Classicqueen13]

I'm sorry, TPAM

[Miss Vicky]

TPAM thinks I need to give Hitchcock another try.

[TheDOMINATOR]

TPAM has a bitter heart.

[Miss Vicky]

TPAM has roughly 34 times as many posts as I do.

[Classicqueen13]

TPAM hasn't filled out her movie lists yet

[Iroquois]

TPAM needs to fill out more of her lists.

[Harry Lime]

I see what TPAM did there.

[Iroquois]

Did you now, TPAM?
