Re: Rocky Balboa

Hrafn will go with his father, as both are big Rocky fans. Probably they will see it this weekend.

Caciss thinks Hrafn's novelty will run out shortly.

Re: Rocky Balboa

Hrafn acknowledges that he might get tired of his posting style eventually, but he still intends to ride it out as long as it continues to feel right. Hrafn's had this in his sytem for some time, and was just looking for a fresh new board to spew his third-personness upon. Hrafn ended up being led to here, and thought it worked well.

Josh agrees. Josh also thinks Hrafn needs to cool it on the vocab. Josh thinks it comes off very fake and ostentatious.

Re: Rocky Balboa

Tough. That Hrafn will not halt; Hrafn has spoken this way since he was a wee lad, and Hrafn does not dumb himself down for anyone, least of all the Internet populace that so desperately needs people who don't post lik omg whut a n00b!!!!111!

Re: Rocky Balboa

that doesn't mean you have to try to sound overly booksmart.

Re: Rocky Balboa

Hrafn is not trying, though. Hrafn does this without thinking. In fact, Hrafn was largely unaware of this until a recent visit by his young cousin. Her reactions whenever Hrafn lapsed into overly complicated language were most amusing, but also served to awaken Hrafn to just how unusual his speech tendencies were. Even Hrafn's own immediate family had gotten quite used to it, and were subsequently made aware of it once again by Hrafn's cousin and her aggravation over such bombast. However, since it would require a constant effort for Hrafn to restrain himself, Hrafn decides it is the world that should deal with it. Not him.

Re: Rocky Balboa

I want to go see it. I'm off Friday so I might. I just need someone to bear the waters with me.

My dad was telling me about how he saw the original in theaters back in 76.


As for Hrafn's posts - It's not THAT annoying. It just reminds me of Lord Bob too much. It could be worse - he could type like Grim.

I would totally see Balboa with you, Lopez. because none of my damn friends want to see it. because I guess it's not "indie" enough.

Re: Rocky Balboa

Hrafn's hand was forced by the limitations of the choices presented; had there been one that said "Hrafn does not use any" it would have been selected. Though in truth, such a precognitive sign would have creeped Hrafn out too much for him to come back.

Hrafn saw Rocky on the big screen as well, but much more recently. Hrafn has access to a theater where old movies are sometimes showcased as well as the new. This is also how Hrafn saw The Godfather on the big screen.

Hrafn despises people too indie to appreciate a good ol' fashioned man flick. And Rocky Balboa seems a prime canddiate for one.

Re: Rocky Balboa

aye, aye. I think we'd get along if you'd just buckle and speak monosyllabically like the rest of us.

[Hrafn]

Re: Rocky Balboa

Hrafn appreciates the vote of confidence, but thinks the board could use a touch more verbal flavor. Hrafn also thinks unleashing his linguistics upon the Internet helps quell the urge to do so in real life somewhat, though Hrafn's friends and family might not agree.

Re: Rocky Balboa

I see. on with the show, then, sir.

Re: Rocky Balboa

Hrafn, I find your username annoying to both say and read. I suggest a name change possibly.
