Wanna read some hilariously funny true Readers Digest stories?
Gee, Thanks for the Help
43. For some reason, the bookstore clerk couldn’t get the computer to recognize my preferred customer card. Peering over her shoulder at the screen, I said, "There’s part of the problem. It shows my birth date as 12/31/1899."
"That’s right," my husband chimed in. "She was born in June, not December."
–M. Patricia Capin
44. At 82 years old, my husband applied for his first passport. He was told he would need a birth certificate, but his birth had never been officially registered.
When he explained his dilemma to the passport agent, the response was less than helpful. "It’s all right," the agent said. "Just bring a notarized affidavit from the doctor who delivered you."
–Elgarda Ashliman
War Stories
45. Short and baby-faced, my buddy Wiggins had trouble being taken seriously in the Army. A mustache, he assumed, would fix that. He was wrong.
"Wiggins!" bellowed our drill instructor after spotting the growth during inspection. "What’s so special about your nose that it’s got to be underlined?"
–K. Trott
46. While my husband was stationed overseas, our four-year-old daughter decided that she needed a baby brother.
"Good idea," I told her. "But don’t you think we should wait till your father’s home?"
She had a better idea. "Why don’t we just surprise him?"
–Kay Schmidt
47. During basic training, our drill sergeant asked all Jewish personnel to make themselves known. Six of us tentatively raised our hands. Much to our relief, we were given the day off for Rosh Hashanah.
A few days later, in anticipation of Yom Kippur, the sergeant again asked for all Jewish personnel to identify themselves. This time, every soldier raised his hand. "Only those who were Jewish last week can be Jewish this week," declared the sergeant.
–Allen Israel
48. Just before I was deployed to Iraq, I sat my eight-year-old son down and broke the news to him.
"I’m going to be away for a long time," I told him. "I’m going to Iraq."
"Why?" he asked. "Don’t you know there’s a war going on over there?"
–Thomas Cioppa
49. When I worked as a medical intern in a hospital, one of my patients was an elderly man with a thick accent. It took a while before I understood that he had no health insurance. Since he was a World War II vet, I had him transported to a VA hospital, where he’d be eligible for benefits.
The next day, my patient was back, along with this note from the VA admitting nurse: "Right war, wrong side."
–M. Murray
50. Few people outside the military know what a quartermaster does. So during my aircraft carrier’s Family Day, I demonstrated a procedure called semaphore-I grabbed my flags and signaled an imaginary boat.
When finished, I pointed to a little girl in front and asked, "Now do you know what I do?"
"Yes," she answered. "You’re a cheerleader."
–Danny Sullivan
I like your collection from Readers Digest-stars for all of them……….

IMDB rating: 7.40 Plot: Germany in the 1970s: Murderous bomb attacks, the threat of terrorism and the fear of the enemy inside are rocking the very foundations of the yet fragile German democracy. The radicalised children of the Nazi generation lead by Andreas Baader, Ulrike Meinhof and Gudrun Ensslin are fighting a violent war against what they perceive as the new face of fascism: American imperialism supported by the German establishment, many of whom have a Nazi past. Their aim is to create a more human society but by employing inhuman means they not only spread terror and bloodshed, they also lose their own humanity. The man who understands them is also their hunter: the head of the German police force Horst Herold. And while he succeeds in his relentless pursuit of the young terrorists, he knows he’s only dealing with the tip of the iceberg. |

By erickirkland1987 on Aug 21, 2010|
IMDB rating: 7.40 Plot: An admired high school hockey player (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) with a bright future foolishly takes a drive in the night with his girl friend and two other friends with his headlights off with devastating results. The former athlete is left with a brain injury that prevents him from remembering many things for extended periods of time. To compensate, he keeps notes in a small notebook to aid him in remembering what he is to do. He also lives with a blind friend (Jeff Daniels) who aids him. Obviously, with the mental incapacitation, he is unable to have meaningful work. Thus he works as a night cleaning man in a bank. It is there he comes under the scrutiny of a gang planning to rob the bank. The leader (Matthew Goode) befriends him and gets him involved with a young woman (Isla Fisher) who further reels him in. After they get close and after reeling him in with his own failures, the bank plan unfolds. Confused but wanting to escape his current existence, he initially goes along with the scheme. After realizing he is being used, he attempts to stop the robbery, which of course immediately goes awry. Bruce McGill and Alberta Watson also co-star as the young man’s parents, who still search for the person that was there before the tragic crash. |

Best Weapon in Fallout 3 + All DLCs?
Yes hello,
I recently completed The Pitt DLC, and after getting the 100 steel ingots (that was a pain!). I got the Tribal Power armor, and Metal Blaster. Cool! Right? Nope!
You see, after that I went to Point Lookout and most Tribe people were too strong for my blaster (even though I kept it at 100% condition).
SO NOW, I’m on an unmarked quest to find the best weapon (by the way guys, please don’t go saying get the MiRV, since the Nukes are sparse enough already. I want a reliable weapon with which to go and hunt some mutant overlords). I would prefer a Small or Energy weapon since thats what I specialized in.
t(-_-t)
Oh and the site tried to put this in the Police & Government >Military section. LoL! Although I guess it makes sense… kinda…
t(-_-t)
The A3-21 Plasma Gun from Harkness in Rivet City is pretty powerful. It can be obtained in "the Replicated Man" which you reveal the truth to Harkness, but decide to keep it a secret. It also better than the Alien blaster as the alien ammo is very limited.
Jersey Rebel | Feb 09, 2010
The Energy/plasma rifle. High damage, tons of VATS actions and the insane pleasure of watching your enemies turn into piles of glowing green goo. Nuff said.
Kruemelbaer | Feb 09, 2010
The Firelance, you get it on a random event. This is how I got it easily.
Travel to Casey Smith’s garage. Enter the garage. Exit the garage. You will now be facing east. Turn around and facing almost directly West and just ever so slightly North. Now travel in this direction for approximately 30-40 seconds and you will arrive at the Rockopolis entrance and a "random encounter will be in front of the entrance. If you did not get the UFO exploding over your head encounter simply reload your auto save after leaving the garage and travel there again. Eventually the encounter will occur.
Here are some locations if you need more ammo for this gun.

I use the destabilizer from mothership zeta. Its fun.
THA | Feb 09, 2010
The Alien Blaster or the Firelance (the unique alien blaster that shoots fire) are probably the two strongest ones you can do - ammo is sparce though.
You could also try to do the Alien spaceship - the atomizer is a great 1hd blaster that has a very low AP cost to shoot - my twinked character could get 15 head shots off easily with all the AP gear I wore.

what platform are you playing this on?
i have fallout3+ for pc and i just use the console to give me random weapons. i know its cheating, but i find it fun.

Actors: Watts Reggie,Bonanno Mike,Documentary,
What do you think of this prologue?
Eons ago, a female known as the Goddess of Life, lived in the worlds. Rumours of her death was spread while others denied her death. She was life itself, and that could not die. No-one knew the whole story though, and one must hear everyone’s story, to hear her story.
The very core of life had come close to falling due to her death. Without the Goddess, there was no life. Without life, there was no existence. But things had to go on. Everything had to live. To continue on without knowing the purpose why, because that was how life was.
That was how life played out.
That’s how the Gods played.
The Elemental Gods were the guardians of the Goddess of Life, but they failed her. In failing so to protect her, they themselves, had made her meet her demise. They were Gods, but that did not mean they had the knowledge of being one.
In this existence every God had a guardian, even those who were the guardians of the Goddess. Their guardians had foreseen this and they had kept it concealed from the eyes of the Elemental Gods.
Life repeats itself.
It cycles.
It plays over and over with no purpose.
Until the present day, where all would be decided, the weight of the worlds and existence itself, depended… on five Syberians.
The Syberians had witnessed the death of the goddess, and after seeing such bloodshed their minds had withered to killing beasts. They had no emotions, set for the one emotion that caused more blood to be shed.
Hate.
Like life does, ‘hate’ plays with the mind and the lives of everyone with no remorse, it was not meant to feel anything, but it is alive and running free in those who let it.
Elruga, is a world known to carry Syberians. It is a race not known to man, for man know of no life anywhere but Earth.
They were more superior than the race of men. They were stronger, faster and more intelligent. They knew how to take care of their world, but like mankind… They were destroying the very heart of it without knowing…
Syberians were heartless creatures. They appeared in the shape of a human and were very spiritual, but they lacked, above anything else, the emotion of caring. They knew not of love. Or of fear when the thought of losing someone came. They did not care. They did not see.
Elruga knew this, it had a heart like Earth. Some would say, that Earth, despite being defiled by the likes of humankind, was Elruga’s sister, but those ’some’ were now the fallen, walking among the dead.
Syberians thought no more of humans, than humans did of bugs. They saw them as weak, fragile-minded beings that were more useful dead than alive when in truth… they were at the same level. Humans, if it was one thing they were known for… it was their emotions. They could hate, yes. But they could also love. They could feel sorrow for one another, and cry for those they lost. They could live a life of happiness with love, and overcome the obstacles that blockaded their lives… That was what Elruga knew, and Siberians did not.
Like mankind, Syberians killed each other. Fought over revenge and what they thought was right, and fair. So much pain had come, and so much sorrow. No-one ever learned, no-one ever heard the cries of the forest.
No-one saw the tears of the world.
It was a hoarse voice, but it was time for all of this to end.
Elruga did not wish to see the ending of its children, like Earth did not for the humans that resided on it… Landing it all on one hope, when Earth had only enough strength to do Elruga one last favour… It took the children of Elruga into its own hands…
A tale that was forgotten, does not mean its ending had come… instead, restart. Make a new beginning flourished with words of fragrance on the page… Thou does not need to burn a sad ending, but fix it. Bury it instead of perishing it, and take it out only when one is ready, when every player least expects it…
The game of chess begins once more…
Ooh. i like it. it reminds me of a story i was writing a couple of years back- thanks for the memories!
i like you’re writer’s voice, you really have talent there, because now i want to know what the rest of it’s about, you know? POST MORE plz for me!

How does one get into the animation field?
I want to be able to create my own cartoons eventually. I love the unique worlds such as Cowboy Bebop, or Aeon Flux… and I want to know how to get a job like that.
I graduated from art college several years ago. AAC in the bayarea. If you don’t know anyone who’s in animation field, you can try to present your idea and art work to the teachers in art school. Most of teachers in my school are not professional educator but professional artist. Such as most teachers who is teaching animation may from the big film company. Some of them fly from LA to give us class everyweek.
I thought you may start from their if you go some good stuff. But if you really got some great stuff, be careful with who you deal with. We had sign the contract that all our works belong to school when we were. I have known there some teachers keep student’s idea become their own…
jenny | Mar 24, 2006
Look into getting enrolled in a graphic arts class in a college or school, and take it from there.
Harley | Mar 24, 2006
Do a course in Animation…. If your drawing is very very good, then you stand a good chance.
nice_libra_guy | Mar 24, 2006
If you have the love and obviously talent you can!
Good animation takes countless time and effort.
Be consistant do not drift in to other things in that area
You can professionalize abything if you just keep on keeping on!
Goodluck, animation is good fun work
bringin life to a character is certainlya great feeling of giving birth.

Good idea for a story, yes or no. Contains gay material. Very long.?
It’s at an all-boys school.
It starts with this guy named Xavier, who is obsessed with a boy named Danton. He stalks him, takes his picture without him knowing, leaves a river of anonymous notes in his locker, and watches him through the window at home. Danton is thoroughly creeped out, but does not say anything until he is home alone one day and he notices things that point to someone having been in the house (all his drawers had been looked through but nothing taken, the window open, etc.)
He tells his brother who is the same age as him, and his brother tells their best friend, and the two of them decide they’ll find out who this guy is and stop him. They do find Xavier, beat him to a nub, and threaten his life.
The next day, the entire school knows about what happened. Immediately, some students are concerned for "poor Xavier" who was innocent and victimized, and some students are taken by Luke (Danton’s brother) and William’s ( their friend) action.
When Xavier does not stop talking about his obsession with Danton, some of the other boys kind of join him. This is where it loses some of it’s sexuality, because it becomes more of a principal than a human fixation. Danton represents innocence, sweetness, almost perfection, and the boys, after listening to Xavier, see that and so many other things that they become obsessed with as well for so many reasons, only some of them sexual.
When the obsession becomes stronger and Danton begins finding more notes in his locker, begins noticing people staring at him, he gets scared and more people join Luke and William in trying to stop the "freaks".
It slowly escalates, and finally, there’s an attempt by a few of the obsessives to kidnap Danton. This causes an uproar. The students are suddenly frantic. Those obsessed with Danton (or the idea of having/obtaining Danton) have to show up to his house, tap on the bathroom window while he’s taking showers, etc. Those who are hell-bent on protecting Danton follow him around, buy his lunch, and are all around on the lookout.
It gets extremely violent as they set out to destroy each other, to stop the other "side". Luke gets shot, not killed, just shot in the arm. There are stabbings. Rapes. Three selective deaths throughout the story. All associated with gang violence by the police.
There’s a theme of the adults in the story being very uninvolved.
There is a scene where Xavier is talking about how he never wanted it to be like this, how everybody is greedy and evil and all he ever did was love Danton.
Then there are Luke and William, who were concerned for Danton, and are baffled by those who are also "concerned" because the others seem more interested in hurting "freaks" like the ones obsessed with Danton.
It strays from actual Danton, but never /really/ does because everything is kind of motivated by him.
After Luke got shot, it all started to unravel. More than half the student body was directly involved in this, and the rest knew exactly what was going on. Kids were genuinely afraid to come to school because of all the violence and terror. Of the three deaths, one was of an obsessive, one was of a protector, and one was of this innocent guy who went to school and said the wrong thing.
It ends with the very disturbed Xavier bringing a gun, killing Danton, Luke, wounding William, killing one of the higher-ups of the obsessives, and then killing himself to "end the madness".
At the VERY end, the adults in the story, who had been extremely absent, are seemingly clueless to everything (including the deaths) and are asking the kids to sit down and do some schoolwork. It’s the first time that there’s a scene in the classroom.
I really like the idea. Please please write it and maybe I could read some of it? Please?

I think it could be very interesting, if you wrote it well enough to make it seem plausible. You would also have to do lots of planning with regard to structure, imagery, themes, characters and so on.
I would read it!
Good luck!

not bad.
has a bit of a manga theme to it though,
particularly with it’s revolving mostly around school/home
and having a small group of friends.
the plot seems a little weak here and there, but other than that it looks like a decent story.
for some reason some story’s become so much better when visually depicted.
and so personally i think it would make a better graphic novel than a plain novel.
so maybe you might have some one help you visualize the charters in the story.
