My Micheal Critchton Book

tinser by tinserOG 2002 · Sep 11, 2003 · 639 views

I just got a used copy of the Adroemeda Strain today for one dollar. Which is supremely cool, considering its a hardback in okay condition.

But, what makes it supremely cool, is that its autographed by Micheal Crichton, how cool is that?!

That was such a good book. I actually got mine used and really cheap too. Sphere was so good too.

aviator #6 aviatorOG 2004

jurassic park baby yeeeeeeeah

ophelia #5 opheliaOG 2003

SPHERE ROCKS!!!!!!!....Loved it almost as much as I love wendy's spicy chicken sandwiches

forrestina #5.1 forrestinaOG 2002 offtopic

that was the last meat i ate before i went vegetarian!

deanh77 #5.1.1 deanh77Founder

I use wendy's spicy chicken sandwiches for violent colon evacuation.

ophelia #5.1.1.1 opheliaOG 2003

you want a serious colonic flow instigator?..just go to White Castle man, I seriously think they have like ex-lax in the burgers

tinser tinserOG 2002

ugh, they are the most disgusting things EVER

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

I really like those things..so small and mushy

tinser tinserOG 2002

ugh, just thinking about it makes me want to throw up

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

I have a strong stomach for some stuff. Remember that Olean stuff that made all potato chips fat free but also made everyone really sick and killed your intenstines? Yeah..I could eat a whole bag of doritos with that stuff in it and be fine.

tinser tinserOG 2002

hmm,i never heard of the stuff....but it sounds impressive, haha

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

I like white castle too...one thing that bothers me about the place though, is their most recent fast food creation, called the "Chicken Ring"....talk about abnormal, those things freak me out..oh, and the MCGRIDDLE MUST DIE!!!..that thing's disgusting!!..My tastebuds have never been so confused/disgusted in my life, what a horrible combination of flavors

iwz iwz

mmm McGriddles are really good

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

ok...that commericial...what's going on there. i don't know.

iwz iwz skaorsk8

i've never seen a mcgriddle commercial, so can't help you there

deanh77 deanh77Founder iwz

you haven't seen the one with the little boy who's dressed as a spaceman, running around his yard around a big fake space-rocket, then he gets in and his dog pushes the launch button and the rocket takes off? Now that I think about it, one of the guys in the car, kinda looks like Dan.

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 deanh77

ok. dean, you REALLY asked for it.

THIS GUY DOES NOT LOOK LIKE ME.

He does TALK like me. I realized it as I listened to him. In this sarcastic "i'm not impressed" voice.

ophelia opheliaOG 2003 skaorsk8

dan, grow an afro..then, we'll truely be able to gauge whether this statment is true or not..the guy in the commercial, is fro'd up

tinser tinserOG 2002 ophelia

haha, now that would be a site

ophelia opheliaOG 2003 tinser

I'm buying him one'a those holloween costume afros from party city....yeah, this is gonna be funny

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002 ophelia

I bought a wig from Spencer's halloween collection the other day. So much fun.

ophelia opheliaOG 2003 thatdarngirl

yo, wig party, @ dan's house....word up...now's my chance to harnest the power of the mohawk

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002 ophelia

Oh..I would love a mohawk for just one day!! I got this long black-haired wig that comes down to my middle back. I had meant to show up to the party on saturday with it on but it was too freakin hott out so that didn't work.

After halloween I'm definetly going to buy some pink and purple wigs.

deanh77 deanh77Founder skaorsk8

I don't mean this in any bad way. I just really think the "kinda black" guy in this ad resembles you.

ophelia opheliaOG 2003 deanh77

dan could pass for almost literally every ethnicity on earth

tinser tinserOG 2002 ophelia

except irish!

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002 tinser

and asians. we'd never accept him into our underground world..

tinser tinserOG 2002 ilikebirds

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002 tinser

tinser tinserOG 2002 ilikebirds

the suitors can stay out...all i need is you....however, it will still be all about me and my book

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002 tinser

no. i'm thru with it. go to your shakespeare qouting lovers of men. i'm done. and.. your book stinks.

tinser tinserOG 2002 ilikebirds

no no ty...please...i can't go on without you....if this is it for us....then this is it for me....my life can't go on without you...where is the poison?

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002 tinser

well just make sure you leave enough poison on your lips so all those other suitors kiss you and die too.

tinser tinserOG 2002 ilikebirds

this means you won't be kissing me too?

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002 tinser

nahh i got dishes to do

tinser tinserOG 2002 ilikebirds

ouch :(

ophelia opheliaOG 2003 ilikebirds

ah, dost thow taunt the lovely tinser, with spitefull remark, and jest?...I shall run thee through with my sharpest blade!

tinser tinserOG 2002 ophelia

aww, my 147 pound hero shall save me!

ophelia opheliaOG 2003 tinser

Yes, I have riden in on my white horse, and have come to ravish the villianous Sir I Like Birds, for his trecherous dealings with you..Stand back, as I engage him in combat..Ah, this shall be an easy kill...

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002 ophelia

umm cute. real cute. but i have a gun. so die.

tinser tinserOG 2002 ilikebirds

aww, come on...let's all be friends

ophelia opheliaOG 2003 tinser

Fact: 93% of ezabel homocides start w/two guys fighting over a girl

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002 ophelia

because one of them always has a gun

ophelia opheliaOG 2003 ilikebirds

yooouuu couldn't kill a fly!..let alone a young 147lb whipersnapper such as myself

tinser tinserOG 2002 ophelia

i thought it wasnt definitely two...just any number over one

ophelia opheliaOG 2003 tinser

oh, yeah, you're right haha....cause you definately got more than two fightin over you, what'st he count up to now, like 8?

tinser tinserOG 2002 ophelia

haha, i dont know....havent counted....dont count fivezero though...he hates me...and thinks i'm blonde

ophelia opheliaOG 2003 tinser

no no, he doesn't hate you..he hates the image of you that he's created in his head, a totally erroneous, ficticious blonde character...if he knew you I highly doubt he'd anywhere near hate you..tis against laws of physics...FIVEZERO!!..YOU WILL RUE THE DAY!!

tinser tinserOG 2002 ophelia

i repeat yet again...bryan is too cool...yeah, he never met me...its against the rules to hate me...yet at least

ophelia opheliaOG 2003 tinser

i'm gonna set up a rendevous...w/you me & fivezero..he will meet you and hate, not you, but himself, for ever even entertaining the thought of disliking you...and he will get on his knees and beg for your forgivness..but, you will kick sand in his eyes(the rendevous will be on the beach)..and we will ride into the sunset..on a camel

tinser tinserOG 2002 ophelia

kicking sand in someones eyes doesnt sound very much like something i'd do

yodasucka yodasuckaOG 2003 tinser

would u 2 enjoy a private room?

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002 yodasucka

Or perhaps the macking forum?

tinser tinserOG 2002 yodasucka

yeah, we need a private bryan/courtney thread....no no, courtney/bryan thread

ophelia opheliaOG 2003 tinser

courtney - bryan?..hmm, well, just for the sake of order..I think it should be alphabetical....WHOOPS!!!..what do ya know?..b comes before c...guess it's the bryan-courtney forum afterall..oh well

tinser tinserOG 2002 ophelia

not in my world it doesnt

ophelia opheliaOG 2003 tinser

oh ok!!..you win..who am I to fight w/the winner of a worldwide beauty contest...I dunno what got into me...hope you can find in your heart to forgive, for I am a lowley sinner

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002 ophelia

I mentioned once in Anthro class that camels couldn't be domesticated because they spit. Someone told me that if I road them all day long they would spit at me too. That was not meant in a sexual way at all.

ophelia opheliaOG 2003 thatdarngirl

well, DUH!!..that's why you first sedate them, and secure a plastic bag over their mouth...it's kinda annoying though cause you have to repeat the process once the bag's full....not a job for the squeamish...which is why I've hired a servent

T
toxicgirlOG 2003 ophelia

hey hey, you can't do that for a couple of reasons:

1: I am dating FIVEZERO
2: I weigh more than you
17: Thai will still come around with his gun and shoot you (it doesn't matter if its his fight or not, there is no stopping an asian with a firearm)

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 toxicgirl

my lovely beautiful girlfriend is right, folks. there will be no confrontation. and i DO NOT hate tinser! i don't even know tinser. i was just making fun of that silly exchange. i don't know if she's blonde or not, but that whole diatribe was pretty blonde. 99 times out of 100 i endorse peace and love on ezabel. except when someone talks about loving Rancid..then all i endorse is destruction..

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002 fivezero

yea i hate you

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 fivezero

RANCID RULES...brian, we're not friends anymore.

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002 skaorsk8

I think we need to get Rancid to play for the next Ezabel party.

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002 toxicgirl

T
toxicgirlOG 2003 ilikebirds

Don't be sad, you don't even know what I look like. Going by the pictures you posted on the macking forum, I'm not your type. You are better off. Keep your chin up.

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002 toxicgirl

T
toxicgirlOG 2003 ilikebirds

Oh that's it?? Well do you want my number as a back up?

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 toxicgirl

OI! what's this?! you wouldn't leave me for the Teryaki Terror would you?

T
toxicgirlOG 2003 fivezero

Whoops, sorry. That was a typo.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 toxicgirl

T
toxicgirlOG 2003 fivezero

Oh the drama! Can someone help me out here??

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 toxicgirl

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002 skaorsk8

malibu #4 malibuOG 2001

my sister wrote to him one time and got a postcard back that said keep on reading ---Michael Chriton with his picture on it.

fivezero #3 fivezeroOG 2003

THAT is a very cool thing. something very neat to own. my favorite books of his is Travels, A Case of Need and Sphere [which i've read 4 times].

skaorsk8 #3.1 skaorsk8OG 2002

a case of need was horrible. right up there with "airframe". pointless writing.

tinser #3.1.1 tinserOG 2002

i HATED airframe

englandkid #3.1.1.1 englandkidOG 2003

Airframe was SOOOOO good. I liked it better tahn Andromeda Strain. although I couldnt get on a plane for a while....

tinser tinserOG 2002

are you serious!? Well, i stopped reading it after a certain point, so maybe i would have liked it better if i kept reading it.

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

yo, alyssa, another proof in my case that you have NO idea what you're talking about.

tinser #3.2 tinserOG 2002

i read sphere, but my favorites are the lost world, prey, and timeline

ekulu #3.2.1 ekuluOG 2002

timeline was VERY good, despite what malibu julie might say

tinser #3.2.1.1 tinserOG 2002

timeline is amazing!

malibu #3.2.1.2 malibuOG 2001

hahahaha. adam knows how much i hate this book. but its soon to be a movie (i know they already filmed it, we just have to wait for the release date) and i know who won't be seeing it and being happy about it (ME!!)

starshiptrooper #3.3 starshiptrooperOG 2003

Jurassic park, but at times he uses too much profanity.

ilikebirds #3.3.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

well if you're getting chased by a large prehistoric leathery beast.. i think you would too

starshiptrooper #3.3.1.1 starshiptrooperOG 2003

haha, this might be true!

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002

yeah, cuz they might be giants (ok, the corn light is off now)

starshiptrooper starshiptrooperOG 2003

Roxanne...turn on your corn light!

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

huh?..isn't it "you don't have to put on the red light?"...or am i missing a joke here

starshiptrooper starshiptrooperOG 2003

missed my LAME joke.

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002

ok, i was wrong....there WAS a cornier line there! ;p

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

oh, haha..I didn't read up high enough..all i saw was starship troopers redo of the police lyric...don't think i read what she was replying to

T
#3.3.1.2 toxicgirlOG 2003

Being chased by T-Rex would completely ruin your day.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

jamie'd moon him. and call him a pansy.

starshiptrooper starshiptrooperOG 2003

not if Marc Bolan was still alive.....hehe.

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002 offtopic

MarK Bolan..the kid who lives down the street from me who i used to stick my tongue out at on the bus every day because he used to steal my winter hat, sit on it, and fart on it?

starshiptrooper starshiptrooperOG 2003

LOL...i guess there were many MBs in the world, one being the name of the singer for T-Rex who met an untimely death. (anybody remember how? I dont!)

deanh77 #2 deanh77Founder

dude. thats awesome. I bet its worth something.

thefunkyfresh #2.1 thefunkyfreshFounder

yup, 5.99!! haha, jk.... hey, i liked sphere

ilikebirds #1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

tesoro #1.1 tesoroOG 2001

ilikebirds #1.1.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

skaorsk8 #1.1.1.1 skaorsk8OG 2002
