IMPORTANT NOTE: I have just started Animation classes at Algonquin College, and I expect the course to be very intense. Therefore, I won't be around very much at all for the next 8 months, probably just occasionally dropping a comment here and there but that's about it. Sorry for the inconvenience.

HONOURS, baby!

Congratulations! Nice work. ħuman 07:41, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Yup. I'll probably get a letter from the college next month some time to let me know, but the first one mentioned that the criteria was 3.6 so I'm good to go. The acceptance into animation this fall is way more significant, though. Of course, getting in is the easy part. --Kels 12:52, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Xplain congrats pls. _and marmite 14:37, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Graduating wif honours, as Psy mentioned, as well as being accepted into the Animation program, as per their portfolio requirements. --Kels 14:47, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

(Top o' user page - Kels graduating wif honours). And allow me to add my congrats - glasses (or a glass in any event) shall be raised repeatedly in your honour on this side of the pond. --PsyGremlin_Whut? 14:39, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

If I have managed to inspire the consumption of alcohol (or even better, a nice strong cheese), then my work here is done. --Kels 14:43, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Hey!! Congratulations indeed. Don't unnerstand the GPA thing (is 4 tops?) but brilliang! (Hiatus AFK) _and marmite 14:47, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, it's a 0-4 scale based on letter grades and averaged over the number of courses. I only took five this term since I had an exemption on English (I'd already done a business English course recently). --Kels 14:48, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Must feel good, achieving your goal! Can't booze, but I'll hoist some stilton for tea in your Honour. _and marmite 15:35, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

From one college student to another... HIGH FIVE! ĵ₳¥ášÇ♠ʘ whats up? 15:37, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks to all. I'm doing a lot of study over the summer to bring up my weak points (figure drawing and dynamic characters, mostly), and it's starting to come together. I learned a lot of basic skills over the past 8 months, so the next four will mostly be about developing that. Plus a comic project I'm working on with a friend which I might allude to later. --Kels 16:06, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

John Severin/Mort Drucker

Neither hold a candle to the mighty Don Martin. Totnesmartin 20:50, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Granted, but neither one of them were competing with Martin. They were the movie parody guys. Drucker, for his part, had an incredible spatial sense. --Kels 22:41, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Supper

Mmmm, thank you for your help. The mexicanz iz yummy in my tummy, and waz very tasty too. Good choice, thank you. ħuman 05:08, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Told ya. You can't go wrong with Mezzikan. Me, I'm gonna make some guacamole today, if possible. Dunno if the avacados I got are ripe enough, though. --Kels 10:41, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Never mind dinner, PJR and Bradley are trash talking ya over at aSK. Dinner can wait, it's ass whipping time and I'm feeling angry unreasonable. Ace McWicked^{Disco Jesus} 10:44, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Being trash talked by those self-deluders? Not worth getting in a froth over, but fun to watch. Sort of like WWE but with non-fighters. Edited to add Ah, I see what you mean. The old "I wasn't convinced by you before, therefore I can ignore you in the future" line of argument. Ironic coming from someone who doesn't understand how burden of proof works in the first place, and has been called to task on it many times. --Kels 10:46, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Yes, well, the punishment will rain upon them. Ace McWicked^{Disco Jesus} 11:57, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Let it rain, baby! --Kels 12:10, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

As I said, I am unreasonable at the moment due to severe pain and these pills the doctor gives me do little to dull the pain yet they are surprising adept at clouding my judgement. Hence, time for some chastising. Ace McWicked^{Disco Jesus} 12:15, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

You are a master chastiser, sir. Chastise away! --Kels 12:17, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

I got your back. Dont you worry. Ace McWicked^{Disco Jesus} 12:27, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Hah! A fine riposte, sir! A very palpable hit! --Kels 12:28, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Just ignorance. --Scamp 17:57, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I said that because you weren't the only one doing it. No trouble. --Kels 18:40, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

What I am "into"

I thought I should take this to your page because Nutty is getting bitchy and drunk again and throwing around words like "fuckers". I like 80's horror the most. George A. Romero for a start and anything with Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead anyone?). I have recurring nightmares/dreams about zombies about once or twice a month, have for my entire life. Always about some sort of post-apocalypse world where eveyone is diseased or zombified and the dreams are very vivid so as a consequence I like zombie flicks. Ace McWickedⁱ⁹ 03:42, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

*shudders* I can't handle zombie movies. Seriously, I get nervous attacks, nightmares and sleeplessness just reading synopses, let alone seeing them. Although strangely, horror games don't bug me a bit. Survival horror games are loads of fun, actually, and I love the zombie as pop culture icon. But just don't show me the movies or read me fiction on them. Other thing I can't handle are those stories with hordes of little, carnivorous (or parasitic) critters. Those bug me too. --Kels 03:50, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

you ever play Doom 3? Ace McWickedⁱ⁹ 03:55, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Started to, but I never did get very far into it. Got distracted by Hellgate: London, if I remember right, then had to delete it for some reason I forget. --Kels 03:56, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

I loved it, scard the beejesus outta me but awesome fun. Anyways, I am coming round to your place soon with a bunch of zombie flicks. Ace McWickedⁱ⁹ 04:00, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Is the RW meetup going to be in Toronto, London, or Goa? User:Nutty Roux/sigtalk 04:13, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

We can have it at mine. Come over now. Ace McWickedⁱ⁹ 04:15, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

No time to look for flights now about to go out. Auckland or Wellington? Who else is coming? User:Nutty Roux/sigtalk 04:27, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Hah, I'm about a 5 hour drive from Toronto, and can't afford the bus or train at the moment, so that's definitely out. Hell, with no job it's a trick just getting downtown. Therefore, I stay at home and draw skeletons, ain't I just fascinating? --Kels 04:27, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

PS I vote for Goa - they have opiates in mouth droppers. User:Nutty Roux/sigtalk 04:31, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

All come to Wellington. We'll go hang out in the parliament buildings and make us some laws. Ace McWickedⁱ⁹ 04:45, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Ralph Bashki

I read that Ralph Bashki was desperate to film an animated version of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas but HST's girlfriend Lilia Nabulski had the rights and refused to allow it. Some usless trivia for you. Ace McWicked^Necron99 23:41, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Sort of a shame, it would have been much more his sort of project than Lord of the Rings was. He always did best at modern urban stuff, and HST's sensibility is a good fit. --Kels (talk) 23:55, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Although you gotta also admit that Gilliam's "semi-animated" version came out pretty well... ħuman 23:59, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Thompson dislike cartoon's (movies that is) and before Gilliam got involved he had previously fired another director for wanting to animate the "crest of wave" speech in the middle of the movie. Ace McWicked^Necron99 00:06, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah well that punk actor drunk with Thompson which must have been painful. Bats! This is bat country! ħuman 06:00, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Ever see Where the Buffalo Roam? Bill Murray as Thompson--haven't seen it in 20 years, but remember being unimpressed. TheoryOfPractice (talk) 21:45, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

To RW troll Kelsigh Nifor

I offer my congratulations on making it in the TK stalker list! --The Emperor _{Kneel before Zod!} 03:29, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Oh, did the retarded child manage to, you know, SIMPLY FOLLOW THE LINK TO MY BLOG somehow end up at a comic site I haven't gone to in nearly TWO YEARS? And have absolutely no problem owning up to? Man, they don't make stalkers like they used to. Weird, since I've been telling people not to WiGO him and leave him be over there, aside from never, ever, ever having a sock at CP. --Kels (talk) 05:34, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Gawd, I never trolled you (IE, like I liked you, like twelve years ago) that far. Sick fuck. Ignore (is my advice). ħuman 06:13, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

Didn't want to WIGO my own thread. ^{I am eating} _& honey^chat 17:51, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

I like the argument for God's existence at that site Mr. Fox linked to. The proof for God's existence is that without the use of God as a premise one cannot prove anything. But to prove God's existence to the atheist one must do it without the premise of God. Therefore the entire argument is a pile of bunk. ListenerX^TalkerX 18:01, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, we'd already made fun of that site in the Saloon Bar some months ago, if I remember right. Basically the whole thing is a cheap "gotcha" but doesn't prove a damn thing. I'm not sure how Fox thought that was backing up Philip (or God) at all, it just makes all three look foolish. --Kels (talk) 18:06, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Thought you might get a chuckle...

...or hate the fanboys for what I thought was a nice bit of comeuppance. TheoryOfPractice (talk) 21:44, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Oh, that is epic. To his credit though, Liefeld finally learned to draw feet recently, so maybe he actually read the book. --Kels (talk) 22:20, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Life drawing

Went back to life drawing again. Did a very good knee. Surprised to see that the model was an old friend. And by old, I mean 67. Totnesmartin 21:42, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Heh, the public life drawing group I go to on the side has quite a few retirees that attend. Plus a lot of industry professionals and fellow students, it's a good group. --Kels 21:52, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

A suggestion

for Gentleman Kels. I've recently fallen in love with this series and thought I'd point you in its direction. Still ongoing - only 5 of 10 chapters available so far. (Here's a link to the guys doing the translating. --Psy - C₂₀H₂₅N₃O^{You know you want to} 12:29, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

What will Ray Comfort say about you two-timing him? --Kels 01:14, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Comfort will be OK. He has a perfectly designed banana from god. Ace McWicked^{I'm a pretty big deal around here...} 01:16, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

User Kels, you have been so pwned by Tricksy. When will you understand that the evolutionary model is incredibly wrong? ħuman 04:08, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

I admit, I have trouble seeing how if evolution is so clearly wrong (based on the evidence), then how it holds onto a stranglehold on the scientific community so that Creation Science can't get published in mainstream journals, taught in schools, endorsed by governments and so on (despite being OBVIOUSLY true) if there's no conspiracy at work. --Kels 13:32, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Trolling

What you are doing right now in paroling vandals is trolling. Way to keep a hold of the moral high ground. MarcusCicero 16:11, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

SuspectedReplicant convinced me! I am born again! The fault for trolling is on the regular users! Ban all non-trolls, open the prisons! --Kels 16:12, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

OK. Good luck with that. This is what I would define as scurrilous deduction. MarcusCicero 16:14, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Say, how's that mental illness of yours going? --Kels 16:15, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

I apologise for the mental illness prank. It was in incredibly poor taste and I deeply regret it.MarcusCicero 16:20, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Ah, but he's right, isn't he? It's our fault, not MC's, that he's trolling. MC is innocent, all else are guilty! --Kels 16:15, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Please take a minute to walk around the room or something. You will feel better, although you may realise you're not being entirely sensible. –SuspectedReplicant^{retire me} 16:16, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Its about dealing with the very concept of how you deal with people you disagree with Kels. RW, is by its own admission, a silly site. Don't get so high and mighty with the authority malarky. MarcusCicero 16:17, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Birthday

FFS Kels, remind once again how old you are.  Lily ^{Inspirate me.} 16:51, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Old enough to treat this idiocy on the level it's earned. --Kels 16:53, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

So you have a hissy fit and empty the vandal bin. Yeah, very adult.  Lily ^{Inspirate me.} 16:57, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

If we do nothing about an obvious troll, why should we punish anyone else? It would seem that unilateral paroling is an acceptable act, so I don't see the problem. --Kels 17:00, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

You gonna clean up your mess? Or have the stones to empty the whole bin? 'Cause this halfway measure that you took is really lame. RaoulDuke 17:01, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Why clean anything up? If they vandalize again, we can bin anyone who objects. If not, no problem. --Kels 17:32, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Heartburn

Kels, I saw your post on Ace's page about reflux & heartburn. Can you tell me what it was like for you? In the last couple of months I have had two bad episodes with what I took to be heartburn, a real burning pain around the sternum (exacerbated by alcohol I must admit) which lasted several days. I also had pain between the shoulder blades; Google that and you get all sorts of horrible scenarios. I had always thought of heartburn as just a bad case of indigestion but this was really painful and affected my sleep, I had to sleep almost sitting up (that's when I made some edits at ridiculous hours of the night). The doc diagnosed it as severe acid attack and prescribed an acid reducer but I would be grateful to learn of someone else's experiences. Thanks. Генгис^{You have the right to be offended; and I have the right to offend you.} 20:39, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Well, I had two problems, really. One was a gall bladder issue that mimicked a heart attack (chest pain, radiating out from more or less the lower middle, some vomiting on the worst one, utterly debilitating. I had that out, but I was also diagnosed with a weak cartoid sphincter, which can allow for some acid to come up under some circumstances. For me it's usually overeating, eating fresh fruit can trigger it, and so can wasabi and curry. And, unfortunately, beer. I was taking ranitidine, which is a generic version of Zantac, but it's gotten less severe over time. I still get episodes and have to be careful with certain foods, but that's about the worst of it. Drinking a lot of water helps a lot, and for some reason having cheese after I've eaten fruit works. --Kels 21:00, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Cheese after fruit sounds like the most utterly perfect gastronomic course of medical action I could imagine. RaoulDuke 21:02, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Cheese under almost any circumstances is a good idea, which is why I have some nice Sage Derby in the fridge right now. --Kels 21:05, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Strange, I read that one should avoid fat and go for protein, so I've been laying off the cheese (although I made Welsh rarebit for breakfast this morning). Also reducing cofee and wine (which I should probably do for other reasons) and not eating so late. My boss has a gall stone and he said that that can also cause pain between the shoulder blades. So how long did your episodes last and how painful were they? As for the wasabi well that's enough to do anyone in. And FUCK IT, I hate getting old. Генгис^{You have the right to be offended; and I have the right to offend you.} 21:10, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Getting old's better than the alternative! ^{I am eating} _& honey^chat 21:17, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

(EC*2) For the gall bladder, the episodes got longer and more intense each time it happened. I went through about 6 before getting surgery, the last one landed me in an emergency room, literally doubled over in pain, for about 8 hours, with time out for vomiting a couple of times. It was intense, to say the least. Even the early ones were quite painful, and at that time I didn't even know what they were, and they started about a couple of hours. If part of the pain is just along the underside of your ribcage on the right side, there's a good chance it may be related. The pain can be in a number of places, really, depending on what nerves are affected. Some folks it's in the shoulders, some it's deep in the chest, some like me feel it very similar to a heart attack, in some cases even including the left arm numbness. Still, could be worse. At least having the laproscopy is a simple procedure that's quick to bounce back from, and it's over with. --Kels 21:18, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

I come from a family with history of bad acid reflux. My mother had to have surgery on her cardiac (?) sphincter but still gets terrible reflux. I see that I, too, am following that path, and have been laying off the coffee (but not the beer so much), and I avoid anything with red sauce (i.e. anything Italian). Aboriginal Noise ^{What the ...} 21:37, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Yes Toast, the alternative is worse. But so long as one's got one's health... Two weeks tomorrow I see the cardiac consultant again, probably another monitoring session to see if surgery for the arhythmia is worthwhile. If not, bye-bye job most likely. As of now I promise no more alcohol until afterwards. (P.S. My father has had an ulcer and reflux so maybe it is genetic.)
