Funny thing is, I think we had a topic about that picture in the forum's early EARLY days. I'm talking ancient here.

I remember that as well, in the arts forum, with a 56k warning. :P

I was there for that, so it wasn't EARLY early. Just early.

That M2k2 guy

I found that on gprime.net under the img files. Great collection they have there. I still like the Torn mime, even though it's pretty old (well technically nothing there is necessarily new, right?). Treat Me Better is another fav of mine there. And of course, you can't forget the original Magical Trevor (IMO the 2nd and 3rd didn't have the same quality).

I think someone on Serebiiforums has that in their sig. Not sure, might be something else that looks very similar.

Heh, I almost forgot what it was like to be here.

That's a great piece though, I should send it to some people. On a side note, I went to an awesome LAN party last Thursday/Friday. There was amazing DDR (actually, In the Groove) by a guy who graduated last year. He actually brought his own arcade-style pad and got an A+ (for DDR people, it's like an AA) on the hardest level which looks to be about 10 times as hard as in DDR. We obviously brought computers and set them up (the Windoze f00s took about 6 hours to get the network working, but my 8-year old Macs only took about 5 minutes), and there were amazing Melee battles. I've gotten off topic though, my original thought was about what my friend and I made there: Bawls cold cathode lamps! I saw the inspiration online somewhere that you can find with a google of bawls cathode. As soon as I saw the idea I had to try, and make a few improvements. The first was to power them directly from a molex in his computer (which is how they're meant to be powered anyway), and that required extension of the wires from the molex splitter to the inverter. This also required that the PCI plate switch had to be filed to accommodate the wires to power the inverter. Finally, 4 used and cleaned Bawls bottles could be placed around the 2 long cathode tubes. I wish I'd have thought ahead and just gotten a single cathode kit, but it was cheap and all so I splurged. The light kit was part of his birthday present, so I can't take any pictures now. Any questions? Rolling Eyes

Too many fangirls to count

I was bored, so I lit a paper towel on fire. (don't ask) So I was holding it,and it burned down to my hand. if i would have dropped it, my house would have burned down. I held onto it until it was gone. it hurt like hell. a layer of my skin burned off. my right, dominate hand. It only feels better when under cold, running water. soaking it numbs it a bit. it hurts more thani before could fathom. i amm typing with one hand, snd itt took forever. how long will it take to heal up, while i hide it from my parebgs? excuse the typos. my parents aren't hoem!

As I said before, immerse in lukewarm water, don't wrap it in anything, and for the love of god, tell your parents.

I'm going to redo my first aid advice, as it sounds like you have a second degree burn. Do not use water as it may increase risk of shock, and apply bandages loosely.

water makes it feel better. nothing else.

Ah, but it's not about making it feel better, it's about making it better. Is is reddened and/or are there any blisters or fluid?

It is just a little red. but it hurts like a living HELL. if i leave it out of ice for too long, it feels worse than when it was on fire

And it took off a layer of skin?

it did. but no fluid. i say a little, because my hands are always red.

Do not put ice on it. That can make it go into shock.

you.....................are not very smart.

i have no helpful advice to give, for i do not know many people who would both:

a.) randomly light a paper towel on fire;
b.) hold onto it.

at some point, the brain had to say "if i light said paper towel on fire, what is going to happen? and what am i going to do about it?"

....right?

Um, here's my question: what the fuck are you talking about? Your house would certainly not have burned down... drop the paper towel on the floor then stamp it out as quickly as you can.

okay, having spent a few minutes contemplating what i would do if i lit a paper towel on fire (presumably to see what happened) and then held onto it (presumably so you wouldn't burn the house down), i came up with an idea:

tell your mom you burned yourself on the stove or something and have her look at it. i trust she's more equipped to handle first aid than you are and she can come up with an adequate solution.

i now can remove this problem from my mind and ponder more... important things.

Klefmung, I'm sorry, but that was fucking stupid. You could have at least gone outside if you were gonna burn stuff for fun.
