Cool. Lots of interesting threads over there, will give that board a look Favourite Mario game would probably be the 2nd one for the NES, very different to the first but I loved it I like Mario games on the Wii, wii u and Snes.

Just about any episode from any show where a main character... For Example: Gets a "bonk on the head"... and then experiences an alternate reality, for the episode, where the entire show as we know it never happened... For Example: Smallville: Season 6: "Labyrinth"... " Clark is attacked by a entity from the Phantom Zone, but when he wakes up he finds himself in a sanitarium, and without his powers. He is informed that his entire life, as he believes it, has been nothing more than a fabrication he created to cope with his biological parents' death in the meteor shower." In other words, he was born on Earth, and did not come from Krypton. It was BS. I am watching the show, because I am a Superman fan... So why the hell, would I want to see an episode... as creative as it is... where "Superman" doesn't exist. I also never understood the Star Trek: DS9 episodes where Sisko had visions that he was a Science Fiction writer in the 1950s, where he wrote science fiction stories about DS9... It was never made clear which "reality" was supposed to be real... And Wasn't there a TV Show a couple of decades ago, where they had a series finale, that implied the whole show was a dream? I didn't watch this one, But I could imagine it was a huge slap in the face to the fans. The UK TV show The Brittas Empire turned out to be a dream that the main character had while he was on the bus with his wife.

How about data? Dayta Dahta Darta
I say dayta which I think is more of a UK pronunciation. I think some Americans say dahta.

...how do you pronounce "boatswain"... ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) As "bosun" ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) Isn't that a Brit thingy??? How about "strewth"...what in hell does that supposed to mean??? How would you say Salisbury? I say Salisbury to rhyme with Talis Ferry.

how many friends do you consider yourself to have online and offline? Offline? Six. Four close and two moderately close. I have lots of friendly acquaintances, but we don't spend time together. Unfortunately, there are lots of people in this world who are not worth being close friends with.
Online? Over the years probably dozens of people with whom I've been friendly enough to share some personal information. Due to the fact that we live far away, over time many of them drift away.
do you find it easy or difficult making friends?
It's not difficult, but I've learned to be selective. Some people are not beneficial to your well-being.
Would anyone here ever meet someone you know from online, maybe you've done so already or know those who have?
I met with a total of 11 posters from the IMDb RFS board. 10 of those were during three dinners in NYC in 2006-2008. One was a romantic relationship. We all previously knew each other online for a couple of years before meeting. And I'm not alone. I knew others on the IMDb who had meetings in real life. Two of them married each other.
what do you think about social rejection?
I'm not sure what the context here is. But generally, I think many people put too much emphasis on social acceptance/rejection. There are billions of people on this planet. If someone doesn't like you, don't waste your time. Just move on.
I know of people from TV Tome and Rage who met offline. I haven't done so, but it would be interesting to do so. I get rejected a lot, school college and work. I don't know if maybe it's the way I come across. I find it easier to talk to people who will chat with me voluntarily.

Would anyone here ever meet someone you know from online, maybe you've done so already or know those who have? what do you think about social rejection? Online friends, meaning people I only know online but whom I'd consider some sort of friend--maybe two, although I haven't talked much to either one in awhile. I was friendlier with them when the IMDb boards were active. I met both there. It seems to me that people are mostly adversarial online, and otherwise, my personality doesn't seem to go over well online for some reason. Offline friends? Tens of them. I wouldn't know how to count them. People tend to be friends of mine for life (I still have a ton of friends from high school for example--we're all in our 50s now). And I regularly make new friends too. Not everyone is the same "level" of friend, of course--you're not going to be just as close with everyone, spend just as much time with everyone, etc. The way people react to me offline is completely different than the way they react ( or refrain from acting) online. I don't know if the difference offline is because of who I am/what I do, or something about the way I look or carry myself re body language, or if some part of my personality doesn't come through well on social media (even though I'm just the same online as offline), or if it's simply that different sorts of people tend to be interacting on message boards like this as opposed to the sorts of people that are friendly with me "in real life," or if it's that many folks have different behavior online than offline, or some combo of the above. I would definitely meet people I've known online in person--whether they've been friendly or not. In fact I've often been more curious to meet people in person who were complete jerks to me, who have really difficult personalities online, etc. I've really wanted to see what some of those people are like in person. But sure, I'd meet up with people who are friendly with me, too. Re rejection, it's going to happen no matter what you do. You can't get hung up on it. Some people are not going to like you. But you can't give up. There are people who'll like you, too. I find it funny some people who have chatted with me online I don't believe they would do so offline. I have been rejected by people. I feel stupid talking to them just to be rejected. It would be interesting to meet some people who live nearby. Couldn't go too far it would cost too much. America would be expensive. Anywhere in Great Britain isn't a problem.

I will try to answer a line at a time. 1. On and offline, countless 2. Easy 3. Sorry, but I don't understand the question. 4. Same as above 5. I have lived long enough to know how to avoid it. I expect to hear from B.O. or alfscumney right away. I know of some people from TV Tome and Rage who met offline a few times.

why can't the English teach their children how to speak? i would really LOVE to teach this in US schools. This actually isn't within the curriculum. not for nothing but what is it with some black people being unable to say the YOU sound with the U letter. ambYOUlance, ridicYOUlous. not being racist at all but i have yet to come across anyone else who can't say YOU when a word with the letter U is within the word. this is one thing and i don't mind it with lay people but i have a hard time when some educators apparently can't speak appropriately. It doesn't make sense why was is said as woz.
I said as sed to rhyme with bed and led. I say groove, prove and move to rhyme but the final two should rhyme with grove. I saw what to rhyme with cot and rot, but it should rhyme with chat. wash and cash should rhyme. watch and catch should as well. I say nation as Nay shun. I say Iron as I un. I'm sure there are many more examples. English seems to have many differences in spelling and pronunciation.

this 'pasta' argument reminds me of that scene in the movie Sybil [the one with sally field] and the guy from across the way had said how he could tell where you came from within the united states by how you pronounced w*a*t*e*r. she said waahter and he said she grew up in the mid west. i have heard people say war-ter. people from Rhode island say war-sh. for wash. OREange instead of areange. these things are regional sayings and what you are surrounded with. My parents grew up in Brooklyn but they have never ever spoken like Joe Pesci in My Cousin Vinny. I lived for the first nine years of my life on Long Island. we never adopted the lungislund way if speaking and i am glad we didn't. it hurts my ears when i hear people who have had good educations and are lawyers and doctors say i know-uh!, aw my gawd-uh! I say wash as wosh to rhyme with tosh. I say water as wore tuh. I have heard some say water to rhyme with latter. Also heard some water to rhyme with Walter. I say orange as or-ringe.

@ Terrapin Station Do you say look and luke to rhyme? Some do, some don't. If you say the two o's in look then it does rhyme with luke. Good food and hood should rhyme but I think for most they don't. I do say root boot loot and soot to rhyme but for me foot doesn't. I think some Scottish say foot to rhyme with loot root boot. Some people change the letter r to the letter h. I do that with some words. Who says "look" like "Luke"? And who would say "book" like "Luke"? Are we talking about people from Eastern European countries trying to speak English or something? I think some from North West England say look and Luke to rhyme.

sugarbiscuits If you don't mind saying .. what part of the world / country are you from ? Professor Henry Higgins might have some difficulty figuring your locale out from merely reading how you say you say certain words. based on parsley = passley Boston or vicinity ?
I was born and live in the UK.
