    • You Know YouŐre A FerazelŐs Wand Addict When...


      Edited for many people's sanity. I did a standard find & replace on this, but I didn't look it over very hard. All should be nice and pretty now. 🙂

      And, of course: Welcome to the boards, Not2Swift. Eat, drink, post, and be merry.

      -- spamguy

      --------

      1.) You are frequently awoken by someone who tells you that you’ve been saying “Die Xichra” in your sleep.

      2.) You look at a world map and see Greenland on it, the question “since when have they gotten rid of the unemployed part?” arises your mind.

      3.) You throw seeds on the ground and expect them to explode.

      4.) You print out pages of Ferazel Wand maps and post them on you’re school locker, so that you can jot down notes on possible strategies and tactics during locker stops.

      5.) You know all 21 types of spinblocks found in Ferazel’s Wand and can name them in alphabetical order.

      6.) You drink gallons of grape juice a day, while telling everyone that it’s actual name is ziridium and refusing to drink “the dreaded acid stuff” (limeade.)

      7.) You can correctly identify every Ferazel’s Wand music file to a level.

      8.) The first time you saw a picture of Shrek on the TV screen you started bouncing up & down on the couch pointing at the screen while shouting “GOBLIN” as loud as you could, that is, you did that until you calmed down enough to see his funky ear things.

      9.) You go around wearing a cloak and blue cape and insist that people refer to you as Ferazel of Teraknom.

      10.) When you’re working with paints & you accidentlly spill some on your paper, all you have to do is think the word “blob” and you’re already stabbing at it w/ the other end of your paint brush

      11.) You’ve devised a comp program that gives you an alert/warning to tell you when there’s a new Ferazel’s Wand Web Posting, so you can immediately look at what someone wrote.

      12.) When you’re history teacher is talking about Avignon, The Great Schism, and how the papacy was sufferin’, you hear the words Algernon, The Great Scythes, and popyseed muffins.

      13.) You’ve memorized entire conversations that Ferazel has had with habnabits.

      Hey, I'm sorry if there's been lots of other postings like that & you're sick of them, I've only looked back about 10 postings from the most recent.

Don’t you just hate long answering machine tapes?

    • Hrm, quite an issue you have there with apostrophes. What country are you from?

    • Apostrophes aside, a great list.
      I thought I was obsessed, but I haven't done any of those things! (well, maybe the throwing of the seed and expecting it to explode...)

      My best "Ferazel Moment" was killing a (real) spider and waiting for the coins to appear.

      ------------------
      Age and treachery will usually overcome youth and enthusiasm.

    • 15.) You feel rather silly when discussing The Importance of Being Earnest in class and insisting that the Algernon and Gwendolyn are not in the original version.
      16.) Your hands conform to your default Ferazel keys, whenever placed on the keyboard.
      17.) you try to scroll through websites using the numerical keypad.

    • I doubt the character problem is country relate. Not2Swift, did you compose this post in Word? If you did try turning of Smart Quotes or converting to Plain text before posting on the web, it should get rid of some of that gobbly gook.

    • I didn't write it in word, but I didn't write it on the internet either. I do have some weird apostrophies though. Idunno, my brain must've been somewhere else

    • Whatever you wrote it in probably used smart quotes and stuff causing the kookyness.

    • All has been amended. Nice and clean now.

      Incidentally, when I copied this from Word, the smart quotes stayed intact and showed up properly when posted. So smart quotes are OK...how odd.

    • Uhmm...alright, you do spell you're like I just spelled it right? (I know you can spell it your, but I mean the "you are" one) I thought you were talking about just my regular mistakes in it. On my comp (did I do those italics right?) the edited version has like "i's" instead of apostrophes. Now I really do feel like I'm from a foreign country.

      Hola, me llama estoy Not2Swift. Me gusta Ferazel Wando. Xichra es diablo.

    • Oh, and it's not like all posts have got weird apostrophes either, just my redone list. So there's nothing wrong with my eyesight.

      Could this have something to do with the Language your browser reads in? Most are set at "Western (Latin 1)" but yours may be set differently and that does wierd things to the typeface.

      I truly believe that all deadlines are unreasonable regardless of the amount of time given.

      1. You wake up in the morning with a headache and wonder if someone set the ziridim pool to work like ice water.

    • Maybe. I think it also probably has something to do w/ the program I originally typed it in. I suppose I could write some stuff directly on the web and someone can tell me if it still looks weird..... "this is to try out quotation marks" ,and this is to try out me writing you're ..... so, weird or not?
