I despise chain mail

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

I despise chain mail

Am I the only one who gets almost unrestrainable urges to unleash rage upon people who continue to send chain mail? Chain mail makes me want to saw my legs off. The weirdest one I've ever gotten was one that said " my house will become chocolate jello if i dont resendit within 20 seconds". Am I the only one who gets spammed with them, and hates them?

Gmail keeps me safe*hugs Gmail account*

BTW what ever happened to that gmail account request thread we had around here somewhere....

Post Sun Oct 23, 2005 8:33 pm

Of course, i mean, we only get 50 invites, we must use all 50 invites real fast.

Jesus, 50 freakin invites?! o.O

Post Sun Oct 23, 2005 9:49 pm

Well, ive seen my fair share of chainmail, but not as far as to say ive seen a chainmail with a 'jello house in 20 seconds' remark.

Well, as for gmail, ive only got, about...
*checks*
100 invites...

I thought this was a thread discussing the pros and cons of mediaeval armour

Post Mon Oct 24, 2005 3:40 am

thats what i thought too hehe - yeah i get chainmail,its very popular on myspace and i never pass it on,same for polls - send me once a month and there's a good chance i'll get bored and do it,send me 5 or 10 and i'm considering removing you from my subscriptions

you know what other kind of chainmail is annoying?knit silver cotton movie-prop types and open loop steel mail.... i've made chainmaille before and i always spot these two in movies,i don't mind open loops much - thats just economy,but the silver knit is an open sore on otherwise healthy costuming - the stretched loops,the very unrealistic way a coif will bunch up around an actors neck,and in close shots the very obvious knitting - ugh

you know you are obsessed with medieval times when you think of armor when you hear chain mail.....you also know you are a computer nerd when you think of e-mails when you hear the same thing.

I *knew* that someone was going to say that! However you missed out on using the old "platemail is better than chainmail" analogy .

Post Tue Oct 25, 2005 4:37 am

But Plate mail isn't better than chainmail, because it restricts movement too much, makes you sweat like crazy, takes forever to equip/take off, makes funny clang noises... I personally prefer Splint mail, an upgraded version of chainmail...
As for chain e-mails ... Feel free to add me to the "grouchy haters of chain e-mails" list

Aren't Gmail invites like chain mail anyways? You send them to someone else, they make an account, and send off more. I suppose they lack a phrase like "create a Gmail account in fifteen seconds or be swallowed by a tree sized penguin."

I had a friend that wore chain mail to school occasionally, complete with the King Arthur tunic from Holy Grail. Watching this child trying to play french horn in chain mail was most entertaining.

Thought this might amuse some of you...I received it a while ago, it looks lengthy but its very easy to read I promise you....


THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF CHAIN LETTERS:


Chain Letter Type 1:

(scroll down)

Make a wish!!!

No, really, go on and make one!!!

Oh please, they'll never go out with you!!!

Wish something else!!!

No, I'm sorry, we're out of ponies at the time being!!

Have you forgotten why you're scrolling yet?

STOP!!!!

Wasn't that fun? Hope you made a great wish Now, to make you feel guilty, here's what I'll do. First of all, if you don't send this to 5096 people in the next 5 seconds, you will be kidnapped by ninja elves and thrown off a high building into a pile of manure. It's true! Because,THIS letter isn't like all of those fake ones, THIS one is TRUE!! Really!!! Here's how it goes:

*Send this to 1 person: One person will be annoyed with you for sending them a stupid chain letter.
*Send this to 2-5 people: 2-5 people will be annoyed with you for sending them a stupid chain letter.
*Send this to 5-10 people: 5-10 people will be annoyed with you for sending them a stupid chain letter, and may form a plot on your life.
*Send this to 10-20 people: 10-20 people will be annoyed with you for sending them a stupid chain letter and will napalm your house.

Thanks!!!! Good Luck!!!


Chain Letter Type 2:

Hello, and thank you for reading this letter. You see, there is a starving little boy in Baklaliviatatlaglooshen who has no arms, no legs, no parents, and no goats. This little boy's life could be saved, because for every time you pass this on, a dollar will be donated to the Little Starving Legless Armless Goatless Boy from Baklaliviatatlaglooshen Fund. Oh, and remember,we have absolutely no way of counting the emails sent and this is all a complete load of junk. So go on reach out. Send this to 5 people in the next 47 seconds. Oh, and a reminder - if you accidentally send this to 4 or 6 people, you will die instantly!!! Thanks again!!


Chain Letter Type 3:

Hi there!! This chain letter has been in existence since 1897. This is absolutely incredible because there was no email then and probably not as many sad email addicts with nothing better to do. So this is how it works:

1. Pass this on to 15,067 people in the next 7 minutes or something horrible will happen to you like:

*Bizarre Horror Story* #1
Miranda Pinsley was walking home from school on Saturday. She had recently received this letter and ignored it. She then tripped in a crack in the sidewalk, fell into the sewer, was gushed down a drainpipe in a flood of poop, and went
flying out over a waterfall. Not only did she smell nasty, she died too.

This Could Happen To You!!!

*Bizarre Horror Story* 2
Dexter Bip, a 13 year old boy, got a chain letter in his mail and ignored it. Later that day, he was crushed by an anvil that was dropped by a plane that just happened to be flying directly above him.

This Could Happen To You Too!!!

Remember, you could end up just like Pinsley and Bip. Just send this letter to all of your loser friends, and everything will be okay.


Chain Letter Type 4:

As if you care, here is a poem that I wrote. Send it to every one of your friends.

Friends
Blah, Blah, Blah,
Friends,
Blah, Blah, Blah.

A friend is not someone who sends you chain letters because he wants his wish of being rich to come true. Now pass this on! If you don't, no one will like you for as long as you live. I mean it, as long as you live.


The point being?

*If you get some chain letter that's threatening to leave you friendless or luckless for the rest of your life, delete it.
*If it's funny, send it on. Don't annoy people by making them feel guilty about a leper in Botswana with no teeth, who's been tied to a dead
elephant for 27 years, whose only hance of living is the 5 cents per letter he'll receive if you forward this mail, otherwise you'll end up like Miranda. Right?

Now forward this to everyone you know otherwise you'll find all your socks missing tomorrow morning!!
