BTW the official assessment indicates he's 70% right, 30% wrong, so I guess to some of you crazy western people that 30% really hit hard...
hehe, and i expect his ping charity will be 65535, no? seriously, what official assessment are you talking about, commie?

BTW, pachinko is japanese, not chinese, and is more their version of slot machines (gambling) than it is pinball. many of the new ones are completely on video. you can see a nice one on MAME called 'sexy reaction'.

With the current situation it's hardly communist at all, in fact, I'd say it's more capitalist right now in China than it has ever been in the USA. *sigh*, rudeboy you're actually giving them a compliment by calling it "communism lite"

What I'd like to see them have is an FDA-type agency that actually has some sort of power; thus the control of diseases resulting from consumption of miscellaneous animal parts...

The official assessment of Mao is a statement made by the Party shortly after his death, btw.

And yes, pachinko is japanese


BUT... going back to terms... apparently subby has a secret genetic engineering lab in his backyard and thus he has created the ultimate pet: the crocatiel! It's a cross between crocodile and cockatiel, it's about the size of a human hand, and it somehow likes to feast on seeds and people... very interesting...

watch out for crocatiels on the game grid, they're extremely dangerous, although somewhat silly as well
I like rice. And all other kinds of Chinese food.

I too saw the crocatiel. A fierce :twisted:, but silly character indeed! :wink:

Commie called it a pet, lol. Pets that eat people can be trouble!

*notes one break for loc* kidding :D

i don't think anyone here wants to... *umm what kind of term should i use?* ...catch/trap (?) anyone else so you don't really need that break loc :wink:

i'm struggling not to get too political, but whatever one's opinion about china i think it's worth remembering that most problems in society are scaleable and increase with population numbers/density.

*removes long political rant* lucky you guys lol :mrgreen:

anyway we live in interesting times ("may you live in interesting times" is a chinese "curse" afaik)

It is... for the most interesting times (to historians at least) are the ones with the most turmoil, and thus the greatest possibily for misfortune to befall you :twisted:

New term (well maybe one that I didn't notice was popular): paperclip

refers to when you 180 into a dead end, but then 180 back to get out of that, such that the walls you make form the shape of a paperclip.

*needs a picture*, or just go wach the crocatiel make paperclips and double paperclips for you :)

I've thought about having the instant win zone make you immortal, but the round doesn't end. The game continues. So, it's not instant win anymore, but instant immortality. lol

You'd drive though it, then nobody can kill you.
