Hey, I'm not letting you get away that easily!

[TheBB]

Hi everyone!

A lot of you old timers from BF knows who I am. Most of the newtimers probably doesn't, so I'll introduce myself...

I am BB, I am 19 years old and come from Norway. I have spent 3 1/2 years at BF (I think), but sadly I missed out on one of the greater events in its history, the now legendary "split". So when I recently came out of the army I sort of continued to visit BF by habit. After a while I made the following conclusion:

BF, at least compared to before, sucks major horse ass!

So, desperately trying to seek out the good old times, I have decided to relocate here (or, actually, sort of double-visit both places), after recommendations from two good friends (AJ and SCV).

I give up almost 8,000 posts on this, it better be worth it.

Reasons for relocating (most important reason first ;)):
1. WB uses Tahoma. (SOMEONE got it right!)
2. WB uses a white design. (SOMEONE got it right again!)
3. Lots of friends here. (Not altogether as important ;))

So you better get used to me, cuz I'm not giving up on you guys.

Sincerely,
Your favorite norwegian

[Nahotnoj]

Well, Ive never been a member at BF, so i dont really know you at all, but all the same, welcome! I hope you have a good time here at WB, and that it can at least begin to compare to what "old BF" was like to you!

[Valjean]

w00t! The BB is here!! ^_^

[Seal]

Welcome "back". Get on IRC too ;)

[Battlecruiser]

I don't know who you are, but welcome, because we need more people to post actively and because you sound cool.

[TheGreatBrain]

Hooray! The BB is finally here. Now I can sleep easy.

THERE'S A DIPLO FORUM HERE, btw.

[Graeme]

Hahaha, long live Tahoma.

Hey BigBug ^_^, I was wondering when you'd make the switch. Welcome to our humble abode.

[dunchy]

Hey there old timer! So how was the army trip? Details :)

Another question too...is that you in the video feed for the Rubik's Cube video?

[Whiteknight]

The Rubiks champion is here!

Yes, diplo, we need some more players, although we just had a few new come. I'll enjoy backst... I mean helping eachother out there. ;)

[Doombringer64]

2. WB uses a white design. (SOMEONE got it right again!) You solar creepers make me sick.

[SexForTwo]

I never knew you either..... Though I have 8k posts too at another forum. Don't think you are alone!

Enough of post counts.

And I got that cube movie..... You are awesome with those, dude. It takes me 33 hours, you 33 seconds.....

>_<

I LOVE TAHOMA

[AJ]

Pleased to see you made the right decision finally BB. Glad to have you here.
Sadly, I don't have the time to stick around and chat about the switch though.. heading to NYC in the morning, so I've gotta get some sleep.

See you around!

Cool your coming to New York city. I might see you there. But of course I won't know it. What part are you going to?

[AJ]

Eh.. Time Square, SoHo, typical range of touristy spots.

[Battlecruiser]

Eh.. Time Square, SoHo, typical range of touristy spots.
Ok, won't see you then. But I have been there, and those places are fun.

[Modred]

Welcome BB. Long time no see.

Heh...gotta love the way you described the climate at BF. ;)

[Dark_Viper]

Greetings TheBB

You will find the switch to be a good decition... i doubt you will ever get bored in these forums...

Make yourself at home... and.. Have a Cookie.. http://smilies.jeeptalk.org/cwm/alien/laugh.gif

[ShawnManX]

There's a duality between the two, basically take a screen shot of BF and invert it and you're looking at WB.

[BSTRhino]

Hi TheBB, welcome! Good to see you around.

[peace_machine]

Hey long time no see.
Well actually I have never seen you before.
Im not even at BF.
Well good to see you anyway.

[AJ]

There's a duality between the two, basically take a screen shot of BF and invert it and you're looking at WB.
I resent that.
We're so much more than just an inverted BF. *scoff*

[TranquilNightElf]

I have decided to relocate here

Wasn't on BF myself but good to have you here BB :)

[ShawnManX]

Awww AJ you know I was kidding, right? Right? <hugs AJ>

[TheBB]

Yeah, that's me on the video. 33 seconds? 33 seconds was ok for 2 months ago, now it ... well, sucks. (Intentionally trying to sound supersmart.)

For the record, anyone wanting to sponsor me to the 2004 European Championships (lookie lookie (http://www.speedcubing.com/events)) is more than welcome. :)

Oh, and for Diplo, I'm considering restarting my Diplodocus project. Now that I got myself a domain name and everything.

As for my army adventure, I posted this on BF just recently:

(As it turns out, it appears that a "bandwagon" is an entirely different thing in english. For the sake of this post, however, bandwagons are tracked terrain vehicles. I.e. they have rubber bands instead of wheels.)

At last...

http://www.aligulac.net/milpic/

There's all of the 301 pictures I have left from the army. Some numbers are gone because they aren't meant for the public, or they (may) be pictures of places restricted for people not authorized. Stuff like that.

If you are wondering what a picture is of, or need any other explanations, just post. Sorry for not writing captions for all of them, but it's 301 pictures for crying out loud...

If you're looking for a good picture of me, 141, 142, 230 or 314 should do.

Recommended pictures, i.e. pictures that doesn't completely suck, and may actually be interesting :)

0002: Now that's a lot of bandwagons in one place...
0011: Guard duty is boring!
0012: There was some really sucky weather on this hilltop. The moment we were heading down from it again, it stopped. Now that's "local weather"!

This picture is the best. http://www.aligulac.net/milpic/0031.jpg

[Basan]

Yikes! That BlizzForums site seems 2 be fadding away... Not that I ever was in there, but either way it's good 2 see a Blizzard gamer old timer come in here!
How do intend 2 apply army tactics on ur playin'? ; )

[TheBB]

Starcraft and Warcraft is, let's face it, so unrealistic that real life army tactics won't even remotely apply. Sorry. And yeah, the snowman rocks. =P

[Modred]

Come on...SC is realistic...I mean...12 lightly armed infantry could easily take down a heavily armored capital ship carrying heavy ordnance...

And tanks can't really roll over people...C&C isn't realistic...SC all the way...

You realize I'm just kidding BB, right?

[ZeroDarkStar]

TheBB is here!

What the hell does BB stand for anyways? ;)

[TranquilNightElf]

Big Bug? ;)

[Valjean]

Big Bug? ;)
Heh. How'd you guess? O_o

[TranquilNightElf]

MUUAAAHAHAHAHA.,...I am all knowing....the omniscient..........

*um... Radlin's post*

[SexForTwo]

I feel stupid now. I thought 'The' in your name meant something too.

*hides in a corner*

[Modred]

*hides in a corner*

I believe that "The" means "The." :p It's alright.

[Schwitzer]

Aah, Big Bug, it's great to see you around. I saw a post of yours in another thread and had to look twice when I saw who it was :D

Well well well, looks like Fenguin has a challenger for the position of "Forum Mathematician" ;)

[Dark_Soul74]

Yeeeeesss....the enemies of the Norwegian's will be glad to recieve these...tactical documents....

[Neo]

Hey BB!

I still have that redirect setup @ kupatrix for that email thing you needed awhile back... Hehe.

Almost deleted it the other day then remembered why it was there :P

Welcome to WB!

-Neo

[SexForTwo]

I believe that "The" means "The." :p It's alright.
You made me sound stupider. :(

[TheBB]

Mmmm... everything is back to normal. :)

Tranquil: For a second there, you might've been the only person every to guess my name for the first time. Usually people scoff up ideas like Big Brain or Big Bastard first. Thanks for confessing though. ;)

Schwitzer: Hoy mate! :D Maybe you can tell me the difference between Penguin, Fenguin and OboeGuru?! (*slightly confused*)

Neo: LOL! You can take that down now... I have my own 1337 domain name and paid hosting and whatnot. :)

Edit: I'm not sure I like how all the smileys look suspiciously korean. :(

[Seal]

nothing wrong with koreanness =)

(you can disable smilies if you want, though.)

[TranquilNightElf]

Mmmm... everything is back to normal. :)

Tranquil: Thanks for confessing though. ;)


Lord knows i didn't want to lol ;)

[Graeme]

I love these smilies! Just look at the happy smilie :). That's the kind of face I would probably make if I was happy ^_^.

Edit: I take that back. I just attempted to smile like that and realized that I can't get my mouth to jibe in that directions while I make my eyes into tiny little crescents. :concern:

[Ark-templarius]

Woah. It's the tiny insect. Hiya. :P

Edit: I'm not sure I like how all the smileys look suspiciously korean. :(
Blame Shinigami. They're his smilies that WB.. borrowed.

[Shinigami]

Edit: I'm not sure I like how all the smileys look suspiciously korean. :(
I'm not sure I like that look of blatant stupidity evident on your face at every waking moment. *Puts mirror away* Oh, yes, I guess they do.

[dunchy]

Blame Shinigami. They're his smilies that WB.. borrowed.

Not all! :( :chuckball

[Sperate]

Heyo BB!

I think I still have your Sierpinski triangle. Fractals are cool.

[Ark-templarius]

Not all! :( :chuckball
Fine. Blame dunchy too for.. just blame him. :P

[dunchy]

Fine. Blame dunchy too for..

Now where's my wine?!?

[Mtank]

ack! he's found me!

/me runs and dives out the window.

welcome though...

[Traken]

Ah. Hiya BB.








What, you're expecting some speech? :P

[TheBB]

From you, I don't expect anything...

[Traken]

I'd have figured you've come to expect many things from me, by now. Such as jabs about your false portrayal of size. ;P

[ShadowGonissa]

Missed you, dude. BTW, you got crushed by a falling tower in the last pie wars. :D

[Ark-templarius]

Such as jabs about your false portrayal of size. ;P
Seeing as how my "tiny insect" comment didn't phase him, no dice Trakers. :P

[Traken]

Seeing as how my "tiny insect" comment didn't phase him, no dice Trakers. :P

We all know my comments grate more, Shini. ;P

[TheBB]

Missed you, dude. BTW, you got crushed by a falling tower in the last pie wars. :D

Heck, I'm surprised I was even in it!

[Dark_Soul74]

Traken, just grab the RAID spray if he annoys you.

[Traken]

Heh. I believe I annoy him much more that he annoys me. ;)

[TheBB]

What you believe, and what really is, are two different things.

[Modred]

What you believe, and what really is, are two different things.

Unless nothing is real. ;)

[Dark_Soul74]

THE MATRIX IS REEEEEEAAAAAAALLLL!!!!!!


Or maybe I'm drunk.

[Valjean]

Both

O_o

[Modred]

Both

O_o

Or perhaps...neither...

[Graeme]

I took the Red Pill and all it did was send me into the Warboards IRC chat (See the thread at the top of Member's Lounge for more info ^_~). Needless to say, I'm having some doubts about this whole 'real world' jibe.

Heh...have you seen "The Matrix Has You"? It's a wonderful flash animation...or at least, parts of it are wonderful...
