If you can't laugh at yourself...

So a long time ago I was a GM for UO. Both as an actual employee and then in later years as a volunteer. During the years I was a volunteer GM and Seer I worked on the longest running UO free shard in existence. This shard was called The Forgotten Lands, commonly known as TFL. Being the longest running free shard back in the early days we had a lot of my old OSI Staff friends pop over either to talk to me or to just see what we were doing to get ideas for the paid servers. Over the years we grew quite attached to each other and many of us wanted to meet in real life. A tradition was started where those who could would meet once a year. Many of us lived in Florida at the time so it was decided we'd meet here in central Florida. A few members traveled half way across the country to come to the annual TFL Picnic. One year I decided to take my guitar and play for everyone. There was one friend who couldn't make it to the party and she desperately wanted to hear me play so we decided to make a video of me to upload to the web site for her to see. She was assistant head admin to the shard so her request was important to us. Sadly, during the middle of the song I was playing I completely forgot the words...

Here it is on my MySpace: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=63699469

I'm not what you'd call a "shy" person so I don't have a problem sharing my embarrassing moments with total strangers. I guess the moral of this story would be "If you can't laugh at yourself, what can you laugh at?". Never take yourself too seriously folks.

Edit: I can't get the video to embed for some reason. Maybe it's disabled on these forums?

I doesn't remind me anything... but I don't understand spoken-english very well. And I usually listen to metal (in flames/all that remains/trivium FTW!), so I don't have a single clue what this could be ...

The name of the Band is "Pearl Jam". That's the only clue you get, sorry :P

Well, it comes down to two things really. Money and Business. Not to mention I'm sure she's thinking about a career as an "actress". She knows damn well all the fanboys and gamers that watch her show are drooling over her. The owners of G4 and TechTV know it too. She's a boon to the ratings and they take advantage of it as often as they can. They also know (or think they know) that the majority of her fan base are teenage boys. If she comes out and makes a sex tape or does a "Real" Playboy shoot instead of the c**ktease shoot she did then they'd probably lose part of their viewers because angry parents would fly off the handle and over-react. Notice she did an issue of Playboy, But, she didn't do any nude pics. Not even a topless shot. From a "morality" sense you have to give her credit for that. Honestly her Playboy shoot was nothing but a publicity stunt. With her taking a "Moral stand" and not doing any nudes the parents of all those teenage viewers are going to respect her more. Meanwhile the poor fanboy base is roaring in pain with blueballs..lol.

It's all about Money and Ratings for the station and station owners. For her it's about becoming a sex symbol and turning that into a real acting career instead of just being a show host. Even if she's a completely horrible actress she'll get hired for things because she's recognizable and in the spot light. Her fanboys will go see anything and everything she's in hoping to see her naked which they never will unless it's leaked on the internet or her career bombs and she resorts to doing some porn (God I hope).

I'm counting the days and minutes until Britney, Miley, or Megan Fox put out some Real nude pics....lol. Yeah that's right, I said Miley too :P.  Check out this pic in my MySpace pics and read the caption I put underneath..lol.

I've got some good stuff in that album too. Funny as hell. Some of it I got from our funny pics thread so you may see a repeat or two.
